Atletico Madrid’s quality to shine through at Eibar

SD Eibar vs Atlético Madrid - 18/01/2020

16/01/20 2603

Eibar were handed a 1-0 defeat away from home at Valencia in their last outing in La Liga so the hosts will be keen to return to their Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa for this upcoming clash against 3rd placed Atletico Madrid as it appears to be Eibar’s best chance of getting something out of this encounter.

Recent results have been disappointing for Eibar as they’ve registered just 1 win out of their last 7 matches overall in the Spanish top flight which includes 5 defeats, while their one success during this lean period was a 3-0 home win against mid-table Granada.

However, losses to Real Madrid 4-0, Deportivo Alaves 2-0 and a 1-0 loss to Getafe (all incurred on home turf at their Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa), along with defeats on the road at Real Sociedad and Valencia far outweigh any positives and underline the problems that Eibar have had in recent weeks.

So far this season at home, it’s been either feast or famine for Eibar who have won 4 but lost 5 of their 9 matches to date, but 4 defeats out of their last 6 matches at home suggest the hosts could be in for a long afternoon this Saturday.

Onto Atletico Madrid, and the visitors maintained their 3rd place spot in the Spanish top flight with a 2-1 home win against Levante last time out in La Liga which became Atletico’s third league win on the trot.

Previous wins were racked up against Osasuna 2-0 at home and a 2-1 win on the road at Real Betis, and having suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 15 matches overall, Atletico Madrid look poised to collect another three points on Saturday.

Atletico’s one defeat during this impressive 15-match sequence was a narrow 1-0 loss at home to Barcelona, while also suffering just 1 defeat out of their 9 away matches so far this season on their travels.

The visitors’ away results so far have seen 3 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat.

While the draw has been ‘top-heavy’ so far, Atletico have won 4 of the last 6 meetings overall against Eibar including winning their last two visits to the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa, so Atletico could take the spoils here too.
