Barcelona v Eibar Betting Preview – La Liga 21st May 7.00pm

All that Barcelona can now do is just what they have been doing lately and that is win their game. They have done plenty of that lately and they have to get one more on the board hope that by some miracle Real Madrid lose their final game of the season. That’s the only way that Barca get the title, but it’s a highly unlikely scenario now but Barcelona can still win this final league game comfortably against a side who are out of form.

Barcelona v Eibar La Liga Betting Tips

Barcelona can only hope for the best, namely Malaga beating Real Madrid on the final day of the season. If that happens and Barca win this fixture, then that is the only way that the Catalans retain the title. Barcelona have been running on some cracking form with a six-match winning streak going in La Liga and they were comfortable 4-0 winners at Eibar earlier in the campaign and so there shouldn’t be anything to stop them winning this. Barcelona are on an eleven match winning streak in the league on home soil and they have scored at least three goals in each of their last seven on home soil. Barcelona’s home record this season reads W14 D3 L1 and they have averaged 3.3 goals per game at the Nou Camp. Over 4.5 goals is a 5/6 quote at Bet365 and Barca have won each of their five games against Eibar in La Liga, scoring 16 goals and conceding only just one.

Barcelona have netted a remarkable tally of 112 goals this season in the Spanish top flight and if the net three more on Sunday then they will equal their best ever tally in the top flight in a single season. Lionel Messi has scored more goals against Eibar in La Liga than any other player (six goals in four clashes) and he is a quote of 21/10 in the First Goalscorer market. Messi is the top-scorer this season in the Big Five European Leagues alongside Edinson Cavani (35). Neymar has four goals in his last two league games and is a quote of 8/15 in the anytime goalscorer market. Barcelona have hosted Eibar just twice before in La Liga and they have scored exactly three goals in both of those. In the Bet365 correct score market, there is a 13/2 quote on a Barcelona 3-0 result. You imagine it will get something close to that.

Eibar have had a good season by their standards and they head into the final weekend in 8th place in La Liga and that is despite a poor run of form lately having gone W1 D1 L4 in their last six played. That has seen their chances of pushing for a Europa League spot fall away dramatically. Still, the club have won 54 points in La Liga this season, 11 more than the last one (43) and 19 more than their first season in the competition (35 in 2014/15). Eibar manager Jose Luis Mendilibar has lost 12 of his 14 La Liga games as a manager against Barcelona (W1, D1), never leaving the Camp Nou with a point. They are not in great form out on the road having gone W2 D3 L3 in their last eight away games. They have failed to score five of their last six games played now and Barcelona to win to nil at Bet365 is a quote of 8/11.

Barcelona v Eibar La Liga Predictions

Barcelona home win: The Catalans are not likely to lose this one and they are not likely going to fail to win this either. So it’s worth backing the home side to go out with a bang and as they have scored three goals exactly in their last two at home against Eibar, a 3-0 correct score has appeal.
