Real Madrid host Sporting Braga in matchday 4 of the 2023/2024 Champions League group stage at the Santiago Bernabeu at 21:00 CET.
'Los Blancos' lead Group C having won three games out of a possible three, so if Los Merengues beat the Portuguese side they would seal their place in the last 16 of the competition. Ancelotti's side are without Courtois, Militao, Tchouameni and Ceballos, while Bellingham was finally called up despite being a doubt with a minor shoulder injury.
Sporting Braga are third on three points, so a shock win against the Spanish side would put them firmly in contention for a place in the knockout stages.
Possible lineups for the clash:
Real Madrid possible starting XI: Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga, Kroos; Rodrygo, Joselu, Vinicius Junior.
Sporting Braga possible starting XI: Matheus; Mendes, Fonte, Niakate, Borja; Al-Musrati, Zalazar; Djalo, R. Horta, Bruma; Banza.
