Eibar – Atletico Madrid PREDICTION & PREVIEW (07.01.2017)

We go with this bet to the simple victory of Atletico Madrid against Eibar.

After all that has surrounded the current set of mattress seems that there is something more stability after confirming that Simeone is going to stay. I think they will start the very strong year with the slogan of winning it all since the squad is capable of it and they must espabilar to climb positions in the table.

Both teams play match day 3 with the difference that the Atleti makes a plane trip to the Canary Islands while the Eibar travels to Pamplona. I think there is enough rest and the fact that Atletico Madrid is more accustomed to playing more than one game a week is a point in their favor. In addition they have a wider staff so even though there is rotation they have more than enough to cover all competitions.

The local set is 8th in the table with 23 points while Atletico is 6th with 28 points. As local Eibar has won 17 points and Atletic 11 as a visitor. We all know that Ipurúa is not an easy field and more this year but I think that Simeone’s have a much better squad and should start sprinting if they do not want to stay out of the Champions League, talking about the league is something else.

As for H2H, the rojiblancos have won Eibar in the four matches in the first division.
