Football Prediction of the Day Barcelona vs Eibar
Barcelona is aiming for the fourth consecutive victory in the championship and I expect a super offensive approach against the Eibar.
Despite missing a few clear chances to score in the final stage, Leo Messi will probably be the player who most threatens the opponent’s goal.
Luis Suarez continues to recover after the injury suffered, but even so it seems that Quique Setien’s students have found their good form.
On the other hand, Eibar did not play in the previous stage, because the confrontation with Real Sociedad was postponed. Those from Eibar are going through a weak period and considering that Barcelona cannot afford the wrong steps in the fight for the title, expect a routine victory for the hosts.
