The Spanish top flight features again on Sunday evening and our next preview features a clash between Atletico Madrid and Eibar as the betting tips continue in La Liga at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid Prediction – Can Atletico Madrid maintain 100% record?
Sunday evening’s hosts, Atletico Madrid, have made a storming start to the new Spanish top flight campaign as they possess a 100% winning record after the first two matches of the new La Liga season.
Early back-to-back wins against Getafe and Leganes at home and away and both by 1-0 margins have given Atletico Madrid the perfect platform from which to build a serious title challenge upon, and they’ll have their eyes on taking all three points against lowly Eibar this Sunday too.
Atletico Madrid finished runners-up behind title winners, Barcelona, at the end of last term, but the hosts have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 9 matches overall, while on home turf at their Estadio Wanda Metropolitano have seen Atletico win 7 of their last 8 matches in their own backyard.
Within this impressive 8-match sequence, Atletico Madrid have kept 6 clean sheets, so it looks like a tough task for Eibar to find a way past them here this evening. The hosts also hold a good record over Eibar as they’ve lost just 1 of their previous 16 encounters against tonight’s opponents.
Eibar Prediction – Can Eibar break duck?
Not only do Eibar face a very tough trip to Madrid to face an in-form Atletico Madrid outfit on Sunday evening, the visitors will be playing a third away match on the trot to start this new La Liga season, and this has had an effect on their early results.
Eibar have picked up just 1 point from their opening two matches of this new Spanish top flight season thanks to a 0-0 draw away at Osasuna in last weekend’s stalemate at the Estadio El Sadar, which followed an opening day 2-1 defeat away from home at Mallorca.
The visitors finished last season’s La Liga campaign in 12th place which was largely due to a solid home record which saw Eibar lose just 4 matches, but it was their results away from home which crippled them.
An away record of 2-8-9 15/29 was a poor return on the road for Eibar, and they come into this clash having won just 2 out of their last 10 matches overall in La Liga, while on their travels, Eibar have collected just 1 win out of their last 17 away matches in the Spanish top flight.
Key-Facts – Atletico Madrid v Eibar
- Atletico Madrid have won 7 of their last 8 matches at home
- Atletico Madrid have kept 6 clean sheets from these last 8 home matches
- Eibar have beaten Atletico Madrid in just 1 of the previous 16 encounters
Betting Tips Verdict
Atletico Madrid are flying in these early stages of the new season and they should have too much firepower for Eibar in this one.
