Eibar vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
For Real Madrid there is obviously not much more at stake this season in La Liga. The star formation of trainer Zinedine Zidane logically throws everything on the Champions League. Upcoming opponent Eibar hopes to benefit from this, because the Basques are still a major candidate for European football.
Eibar :
Eibar played with 1-1 at last weekend with low flyer Deportivo La Coruna. With that, the Basques left the possibility untouched to grab the seventh place, a place that most likely gives the right to Europa League qualification. Los Armeros, however, do not want to be fooled. Defender Anaitz Arbilla: ‘Our first goal was to preserve life. Now that we have succeeded, we want to try to get more points than last season, when we scored 54 points. Then we see if there is more for us in the barrel. ‘
Eibar may be extremely proud of her performance this season. The team has no real top players in the ranks, but with Jose Luis Mendilibar does have one of the best trainers on the Spanish fields. For example, the defense with as many as 25 counter-hits in the first eleven rounds was initially as leaky as a basket, but after some tactical conversions Mendilibar knew how to solve this problem.
Eibar is now the team with the first-goal attempts against in the five major European leagues. Scoring, however, remains a big problem for Los Armeros, because with only six hits, striker Charles Dias may call himself a club top scorer. With only 34 goals, Eibar is the least scoring team of the left row. Also this weekend, scoring might be difficult again, because due to the injury from Fabian Orellana the home team misses one of its main offensive tastemakers.
Real Madrid:
Not so long ago, the position of trainer Zinedine Zidane hung on a thread, but in the diptych against Paris Saint-Germain in the eighth finals of the Champions League, the Frenchman showed that his expiration date in the Santiago Bernabeu is not yet available. view. In the Parc des Princes, the Madrilenians were able to win their 3-1 lead from the first leg. The opening goal by Cristiano Ronaldo just after halftime meant the final decision.
The Parisians then came alongside, but thanks to a Casemiro goal ten minutes before time, De Koninklijke also managed to draw the return: 1-2. The self-confidence is thus completely intact with the people of Madrid. Sergio Ramos: ‘A club never won the Champions League twice in a row, but we managed to get it. Why should not we win the Cup with the Big Ears for the third time in a row? ”
The big ‘advantage’ of Real Madrid compared to the other Champions League participants is that the Madrilenians in their own country are already played out and can throw everything on the European champions ball. Leader FC Barcelona is after all long and wide out of sight and even the deficit at number two Atletico Madrid is a hefty seven points.
The remaining eleven rounds of play in La Liga are in fact nothing more than glorified practice duels for the star formation of Zidane, in which the team can rotate and refuel self-confidence. Also against Eibar Zizou will probably change his team again at various positions. The Spanish press expects Raphael Varane, Mateo Kovacic, Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio to make way for players like Nacho, Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale and Isco. Luka Modric is also available again.
