Real Madrid v Eibar Betting Preview – La Liga 22nd October 7.45pm
After battling with Tottenham in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, it’s back to domestic acting for Real Madrid on Sunday as they play host to Eibar at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid have started to gather some momentum for the season after a sluggish start to the term and are on a three match winless streak. That will likely be extended to four because Eibar are out of form at the moment with just one point from their last four games.
Real Madrid v Eibar Betting Tips
There should be a good chance for Real Madrid to extend their winning La Liga form when they meet up with Eibar at the Bernabeu on the weekend. After only a poor W2 D2 L1 record over their opening five games of the season, they have subsequently won the following three. So things are looking up for them. They have only picked up the two clean sheets all season and they are not running up high scoring in games, not by their expected standards anyway. So under 3.5 goals at Bet Victor for a price of 5/4 will have some appeal. The Merengues have netted two goals exactly in each of their last three league games. At home this season in the Spanish top flight they have produced a W1 D2 L1 record only, but broke their duck with a 2-0 victory over Espanyol in their last home game.
In the Bet Victor correct score market, a Real Madrid 2-0 result is a price of 15/2 and that looks appealing as Eibar are not likely going to offer up much as an attacking force. Real Madrid were pushed hard by Tottenham in a midweek Champions League 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu and their scoring this season hasn’t been as prolific as it has been in recent seasons. Cristiano Ronaldo is a 15/8 Bet Victor First Goalscorer favourite for the match. Real Madrid were frustrated to a 1-1 draw in this corresponding fixture from last season but they are unbeaten from eight previous matches against Eibar in all competitions, having won six of those games. Form their four previous home games against them, Real Madrid have a W3 D1 record, shipping only the one goal. Real Madrid to win to nil at Bet Victor screams value at 4/5.
It hasn’t been a great season for Eibar this term in the top flight, with just the seven points on board. They were on a three match losing streak before they held their own ground for a 0-0 home draw against Deportivo last weekend. On four separate occasions this season they have conceded at least three goals in a league game. They’ve conceded thirteen goals in their last four games alone and have offered very little going forward. They have netted just three goals all season. Out on the road, they have scored two and conceded twelve in four games in a W1 D0 L3 record. They are on a three match losing streak out on the road. Despite their own lack of scoring power, 75% of Eibar’s away games have gone over 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid v Eibar Predictions
