© Get this image on: Wikimedia Commons | License details
Week 14 of La Liga is concluded Sunday night as Real Madrid travel to Eibar.Los Blancos will be keen not to lose points at this game to continue their good form lately which saw them beat Atletico Madrid last week and win their UEFA Champion League group to qualify to the knockout stage.
Eibar
Eibar are unbeaten in their last 5 games (1W 4D) and they had a good result in their last match drawing with high flying Real Sociedad 1-1.Coach Jose Mendilibar’s team will do all they can to stop the Madrid team.They have a very good defensive record with 10 goals conceded in 14 La Liga matches and they haven’t let their opponents score more than 2 goals in all of their games so far and that happened in 3 occasions.Their match results are always low in goals due to their defensive style of play.
Real Madrid
Zidane’s men have risen back from another slump 2 weeks ago and those were scary times for Zizou as he could have been sacked.But Real’s problems aren’t against tough opponents but rather surprisingly against lower teams like Alaves and Cadiz which they lost both.The team seems to have lost moral in some games and against teams like Eibar who play tough and compact defence,they lose patience and commit themselves forward allowing their opponents to counter and score.
Verdict
On paper it should be an easy game for Real but Eibar are a stubborn side and they can cause trouble.
Verdict: under 2.5 goals
