Real Madrid vs Eibar prediction comes before the 28th La Liga round matchup. This match will take place on Friday, March 13, at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain. In this match preview, we bring you some betting tips and correct score predictions based on the analysis of the two teams.
Real Madrid vs Eibar Betting Tips
The match will be played with no spectators at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid. That can be a problem for Los Blancos, who are generally very good when playing in front of their crowd. In fact, this team is still without a home defeat in La Liga this season. The last time they played, they beat their biggest rival Barcelona.
That game brought Real Madrid to the top of the table, but that lasted only one round. In the following La Liga round, Los Blancos lost to Real Betis, while Barca beat Real Sociedad. As a result, Real Madrid dropped to second place. Still, La Liga title is still within their reach as Barca has only 2 points more.
What this means is that Real Madrid is very motivated to win the game with Eibar as it would keep their title dream alive. There are 11 matches left to be played, including this one, so Los Blancos need to stay focused on winning each and every one of them. Speaking of focus, their minds might not be set 100% percent on the duel with Eibar. The reason? Real Madrid is playing Manchester City in the Champions League next Tuesday.
The team with the most titles won in the Champions League is facing a very tough challenge next week when they’re traveling to Manchester to take on the Sky Blues. The English team has a 2:1 advantage from the game played in Madrid, meaning that the Spanish heavyweight would need a big win in order to advance to the quarterfinal. Their ambitions are high and you can be certain Zidane and the players are working very hard on finding the right solution to the Man City problem.
Of course, that could affect their performance in La Liga on Friday evening. Still, the difference in quality is massive. Real Madrid is a much, much better team than Eibar. Plus, Eibar has been in a very poor run in La Liga, with four defeats in the previous five rounds. That said, anything but an easy win for the home team would be a ginormous surprise.
