Real Madrid visit Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Copa del Rey Semifinals. Los Blancos will be making some rotations with Valverde, Courtois and Mbappe all missing the game, so it will be interesting to see what lineup coach Ancelotti decides to deploy in this one.

Real Sociedad are a quality team but they’ve been somewhat disappointing so far this season, so Real Madrid should be considered the favorites to advance to the Final as long as they take care of business.

PREDICTED LINEUPS

Real Madrid predicted XI: Lunin, Vazquez, Asencio, Rudiger, Fran Garcia, Tchouameni, Ceballos, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Brahim.

Real Sociedad predicted XI: Remiro, Aramburu, Zubeldia, Aguerd, Aihen, Zubimendi, Mendez, Sucic, Kubo, Barrenetxea, Oyarzabal.
