Eibar vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips

Boasting a 4 point advantage at the top of the La Liga table, and with the benefit of having played 2 games less, Atletico Madrid should be confident of extending their impressive advantage with another 3 points against relegation contenders Eibar.

Fresh from an excellent 2:0 win over rivals Sevilla, Atletico has now won a hugely impressive 12 of their last 13 league games as they bid for only their 3rd league title in the past 45 years.

Certainly, given the respective form of perennial contenders Real and Barca, Atletico would appear to have every chance of landing a second league title under the guidance of their long-serving coach, Diego Simeone with Atletico looking increasingly solid, keeping clean sheets in 10 of their last 15 league outings.

On the road, Los Rojiblancos have certainly upped their game this season, winning 5 of their 7 away games played so far with just 1 loss coming at rivals Real. Atletico only managed to win 6 of their 19 away games last season.

Hosts Eibar enters this fixture just 3 points above the relegation zone having recorded just 2 wins in their last 11 league outings with 4 draws and 5 losses.

On their own patch, the form has not been good for Eibar who have lost 4 of their last 8 at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa although they did manage to upset Granada in their most recent home match, that, their first win in 9 at the Ipurua.

Still, it´s hard to look past Atletico to win here at 1.66 odds with the visitors also winning on 5 of their last 6 trips to Eibar although they did lose 2:0 when these sides last met in January. However, Atletico is in far better form now than they were then and they should have more than enough quality to return to Madrid with another 3 points.

BTTS - NO also looks a good option in this contest with Eibar failing to score in 5 of their last 7 home matches and 4 of their last 6 home league matches against Atletico.

Eibar vs Atletico Madrid Correct Score Prediction

It´s hard to see Eibar stopping the Atletico bandwagon, and I expect Simeone´s superbly drilled side to emerge with a comfortable 2:0 win.
