Betting on Eibar
In their latest outing, Eibar secured a draw on the road against fourth-placed Villarreal. A win for Eibar would have seen them go on top of Villarreal, but a missed penalty and a red card saw them let go of a one goal lead to allow the hosts come back into the game. Despite that draw, Eibar has been among the positively surprising teams this season, bouncing from a dismal 2014-15 season to now sitting in the top 10. Offensively, they have been quite improved, scoring 17 goals in 12 games this season. Eight of those goals have come at home, earning the team three wins in the process. In their last three games, they have scored five goals and stand unbeaten in that stretch, a record they’ll be looking to extend to four against Madrid.
Betting on Real Madrid
Real Madrid have been on a downward trend over the last few games, coming off a run of mixed results in the Spanish League and the Champions League. The 4-0 thrashing in the hands of bitter rivals Barcelona last weekend elicited a lot of ripples in the Madrid camp with rumors of a rift between Ronaldo and Coach Rafa Benitez being reported, and the management also said to be looking to replace the coach. It would, however, be unfair to single out blames, given the Los Blancos were utterly out-played by the Catalans from the start to the end, with the only clear chance they had landing to Ronaldo, who missed. Madrid followed this game with a redemption plan against Donetsk on the road in which they rain a riot by claiming a 4-0 lead in Shakhtar, but had to bite their nails as Shakhtar scored three goals from the 78th minute to the 90th minute, with Real Madrid surviving the late upset with a nervy 4-3 win.
