Barcelona Prediction
Barcelona sit top of La Liga with a five point margin over second placed Atletico Madrid and they’ll no doubt be keen to extend this lead further on Sunday evening when they play host to Eibar on the back of five league wins on the trot.
Barcelona actually suffered an exit from the Copa del Rey during the week when they lost 2-1 away at Levante, but it’s a return to La Liga and the business of securing yet another domestic league title this Sunday.
The hosts have collected five wins on the trot in La Liga with victories chalked up against Villarreal, Espanyol, Levante, Celta Vigo and Getafe, also scoring a total of 15 goals and conceding just 1 goal in reply, which has seen Ernesto Valverde’s side producing breathtaking displays.
A world class attacking trio of Messi (16 goals), Suarez (12 goals) and Dembele (7 goals) should ensure a very difficult and uncomfortable 90 minutes for visitors Eibar here. In addition, Barcelona have been ahead at half-time in 5 of their 9 home matches this term.
Key-Facts – Barcelona v Eibar
- Barcelona have won their last 5 league matches on the trot
- Barcelona have scored 15 goals in these last 5 matches
- Eibar have managed just 1 away win all season in La Liga
Eibar Prediction
Eibar occupy a lowly position of 13th place in La Liga although they’ve lost just once in their last eight matches overall which includes drawing their last four on the trot with stalemates against Levante, Valencia, Real Betis and Villarreal.
Three of these last four draws were recorded at their Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa where they’ve lost just twice all season to date, but they’re without an away win from their last four on the road in La Liga which includes defeats at Celta Vigo and Rayo Vallecano.
Eibar have managed to record just one away win all season within an overall away record of 1-3-4 5/12 which was a 3-2 win at Girona, but having failed to score in three of their last four on their travels, Eibar look to have their work cut out here.
The visitors have failed to score in 5 of their 8 away matches so far this season and this could be another decisive statistic against the visitors in this clash.
Betting Tips Verdict
Barcelona are on a roll in La Liga and should dispose of Eibar with ease today.
