Real Madrid hosts Eibar in the 31st round of La Liga and the hosts now have to balance domestic and Champions League football … as no later than Wednesday they go to Calderon to play against Atletico in the first leg of the UCL quarters.
Real is finally back in good form after a period of struggles … Ancelotti’s man played two excellent games in the last two rounds, 9-1 over Granada and 2-0 over Rayo Vallecano. True, the result vs. Rayo was good, but the performance not so good. 4 points behind Barcelona, the hosts still have a chance for the title, but must choose if they will risk resting players today … besides the ones that are already out. The injury list is pretty heavy for Real Madrid today, as Bale, James Rodriguez, Coentrao, Kroos, Khedira and Medran will all miss from the lineup due to injuries / suspensions.

Eibar is sitting in a pretty good position after the win last round, 1-0 vs. Malaga. A good team chemistry and defense helped Eibar to have a respectable season and they will probably avoid relegation … are now 6 points above the red zone but also have three teams between them and the last three places. For this visit to Bernabeu, Eibar will not have Boveda (suspended) and Angel (injured).
Real should field a good lineup today, but a little weakened by injuries and 2-3 possible changes by Ancelotti. With the Atletico game coming up, Real will try to score 1-2 goals early and than take the foot off the gas in the second half, replacing guys like Ronaldo or Benzema and thinking about the game on Tuesday … playing slower and more relaxed football. Eibar will be very careful looking at what happened with Granada in the last match played by Real at Bernabeu … and with Eibar’s very good defense, I think they will manage to keep a respectable score and receive a maximum number of 3 goals. My tip will be under 4 goals. Correct score prediction: Real Madrid – Eibar 3-0.
Pick: under 4 goals
