The international break is sure to come to an end soon and with the drama of the Uefa nations league and so many other things. These things would no doubt also extend straight to the La Liga where the continuous battle for glory is set to continue. With matches like Atletico Madrid against Barcelona, we are set to have a wonderful time this week. However, our competition of interest today is all about Eibar v Real Madrid.

Real Madrid crisis days happens to be over as fast as it had begun. Real Madrid had started the season with two of the most icons in the world. This is in the person of Ronaldo and their coach Zidane. It was clear that this season was going to be tough, but they had no idea that the new coach would have to be sacked just 14 games into the new season. However, the appointment of interim coach Solari has steadied the ship. With Real Madrid failing to buy a replacement for Ronaldo, it is clear that Madrid would be lacking close to 50 goals this season. Real Madrid would, however, be hoping that Eibar is another match which they could capitalize on. Despite all the crisis talk, Real Madrid just sits four points behind the leader Barcelona but are languishing in sixth place. They would surely be interested in how Barcelona’s game goes.

Eibar, on the other hand, would be aware of the grim task they have on their hands. Even without Ronaldo, there are no doubts that the strength of the Real Madrid team is still quite high and they would probably thrash teams similar to Eibar on a good day. They would be hoping that the absence of Ronaldo shows on Real Madrid when they meet next week.

The two teams recent forms might also play a part at least when it comes to their confidence levels. In the league, it has sometimes been a horror show for Eibar. Other times, they have managed to win. They have won two games in their last six, drawn two more and lost two. Real Madrid is not much better when it comes to league performances. They have managed to win just two, lose three and managed only one draw. Therefore, when it comes to a confidence booster, Eibar would be happy to take their chances against this plucky Madrid's side.

When it comes to the lineups, For Real Madrid you can expect the likes of Modric who has been in poor form all season and Arsenio to start. The remaining members of the BBC would all be expected to begin as efforts would be made to ensure that the team is fully ready for this match. As for Eibar, they will be hoping that their top goal scorer so far in this campaign with three goals would undoubtedly come to the fore in this match and help them pull off a massive victory against the defending European champions. It would be fascinating indeed.
