Jose Mourinho is expected to rotate his Real Madrid squad against APOEL tomorrow evening. Here, Sports Mole previews their upcoming quarter-final against the Cypriots.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is expected to make a number of changes to his starting lineup for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final against APOEL, since Los Blancos hold a 3-0 advantage from the opening leg in Cyprus last week.

As a result, the likes of Nuri Sahin and Jose Callejon could come into the team that takes to the field at the Bernabeu.

Marcelo Oliveira and Ivan Trickovski will be absent for the visitors because of muscular injuries.

However, Gustavo Manduca is available following the conclusion of his one-match suspension.

Madrid have won eight of their nine Champions League fixtures this season.

Current form:

Real Madrid: WDDWWW
APOEL: WDLLWL

Possible lineups:

Real Madrid: Casillas; Altintop, Pepe, Varane, Coentrao; Khedira, Sahin; Callejon, Kaka, Ronaldo; Higuain

APOEL: Chiotis; Poursaitidis, Kaka, Jorge, Boaventura; Morais, Pinto; Charalambidis, Marcinho, Manduca; Ailton

Sports Mole says: 3-0
