Real Madrid will look to continue their splendid run of form when they host RB Leipzig in a Champions League fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening.
Los Blancos have won all their fixtures in La Liga so far in 2022-23 as well as their Champions League opener against Celtic. Their young guns Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and Fede Valverde have been firing on all cylinders alongside veterans such as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos to secure six wins out of six in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Leipzig, have a new coach in Marco Rose and the manager got off to a fine start in his new surroundings, guiding his team to a comfortable 3-0 win over former employers Borussia Dortmund. However, facing a high-flying Madrid will test their abilities to the hilt, especially in front of a raucous Santiago Bernabeu crowd.

Real Madrid squad & team news
Real Madrid will miss Karim Benzema through injury. Lucas Vasquez picked up a muscle injury in their latest win against Mallorca and needs to pass a late fitness test to force his way into the squad. However, Eder Militao has started training with the group and should be included.
Eden Hazard might be benched after he failed to impress against Mallorca and Rodrygo is in line to take his place. Valverde might move to the right side of a front three with Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni and Kroos slotting in midfield.
