The lineups are out for Real Madrid's final Champions League group stage fixture, with Rafael Benítez pulling few surprises. The Spaniard Kiko Casilla has been given the nod between the sticks with their spot at the top of the group assured, while full-back Marcelo is only fit enough to make the bench. Indeed, hey're continuing with a rather makeshift back four, with Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal both unavailable.
Real Madrid vs. Malmö FF: Lineups
The Swedish side are unlikely to trouble Real Madrid.
According to UEFA, their Swedish visitors Malmö have elected to line up in a 4-4-2. It’s a brave decision to only start two central midfielders when the odds are stacked so heavily against them, though we can probably expect them to sit compact and narrow, leaving little space between their defence and midfield. Coach Åge Hareide will look to go out with a bang: he’s leaving the club after this match.
Real Madrid (4-3-3): Kiko Casilla; Álvaro Arbeloa, Nacho, Pepe, Danilo; Isco, Casemiro, Mateo Kovačić; Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, James Rodríguez.
Malmö FF (4-4-2): Johan Wiland; Yoshimar Yotún, Felipe Carvalho, Kári Árnason, Anton Tinnerholm; Tobias Sana, Enoch Kofi Adu, Oscar Lewicki, Erdal Rakip; Nikola Djurdjić, Jo Inge Berget.
