After another international break where we saw dramatic comebacks and results, failing of big teams and success of small teams, its time for the club football. After winning 4 straight matches in all matches, Los Blancos under Solari will be looking for a fifth win when they compete to Eibar today.
Eibar is in 13th position of the league with 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeat, having 15 points. They are clearly 5 points ahead then relegation zone and 2 points behind than top 10 marks and at this stage, anything can happen. After returning to the top league in 2014-015, Eibar is being able to positively improving but yet to find consistency in goal. They only lost 1 of their last 5 matches but goals are being hard to find for them. They only managed to net 12 times out of 12 and conceding 18 times. Charles is their top scorers till now with just 3 goals. Pedro Leon will miss today's game too because of injury while Arbill got a red card in the last match against Valladolid and will not play. We can see Bigas in starting 11 today. Real Madrid is definitely favourite over Eibar. They won all league matches after Solari took over the duty from Lopetegui. Nacho, Varane and Marcelo are back from injury and will start today. This is the best chance to decrease the gap with league-leader Barcelona as we can expect a different result when Barcelona visit Atletico Madrid later tonight.
With a mix of young and experienced improved players in the squad, I believe Real Madrid will outplay Eibar. Real Madrid is unbeaten against Eibar at this level and their recent form is really improving than what we saw under Lopetegui.
