Atletico Madrid have seen their leadership of La Liga whittled down to just one point and they’ll be on a mission to stay top when they welcome Eibar at the Wanda Metropolitano. This clash brings face to face the top side in La Liga against the bottom side. Atletico have 67 points going to the game and Eibar 23. It has been tough for Atletico in their recent matches, with one win in five matches and two clean sheets, while they’ve managed to win by more than a one goal margin in just one of their last 11 league matches. Atletico go to this game having scored twice in one of the last six matches and their main source of goals, Luis Suarez, is out injured. One area Atletico have really been good at over the years was their defence, and while they are still the best defensive side in the league, they’ve managed just four clean sheets in the last 15 league matches. However, they have the best run at home in La Liga, with the loss to Levante their only defeat at home in 26 league matches.

Eibar have had a very poor season, but being just four points below 17th placed Valladolid with eight matches to go, they can still survive if they get their act together. They head to this game winless in the last 13 league games and having failed to score in three of the last five. In the league, they have the least wins (4), the joint lowest goal tally (22) and are also winless in their last 10 away league matches, with six losses therein and no clean sheet. Though they’ve been poor, Eibar have lost by two clear goals in just three of their last 15 matches.
