However, Kepa is set to return between the bars after an injury. "Kepa Will be our goalkeeper tomorrow. I don't think it's unfair to leave someone on the bench because that would make it unfair all the time. Lunin Has had a chance to get a run in the team and he did well. He and all of us are delighted to have a goalkeeper we can trust. Kepa didn't have to show it in the same way as he's already shown it over his career. Kepa has always done a fantastic job whenever he's played," Carlo Ancelotti confirmed in the Press conference. Possible Lineup for Union Berlin: Ronnow; Juranovic, Knoche, Leite, Roussillon; Volland, Tousart, Khedira, Laidouni, Gosens; Behrens Possible Lineup for Real Madrid: Kepa; Vazquez, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy; Valverde, Ceballos, Modric; Diaz; Rodrygo, JoseluPrediction: Union Berlin 0-2 Real Madrid
As Real Madrid already secured the Round of 16, manager Carlo Ancelotti will likely rotate his squad. He may test his bench against Union Berlin, yet it will be very difficult for the home side to score against the Spanish Giant. The entire squad of Real Madrid are very inspired after winning five out of five games in the UCL. They will do everything to extend their winning run.Betfair Odds
