Eibar’s relegation has already been confirmed and their match at home to Barcelona on the final weekend will be more of a dead rubber affair, with Barcelona also having been squeezed out of the La Liga title race. Bottom placed Eibar have 30 points, 46 behind Barcelona. Both sides will consider this a season of underachievement, at least as far as the league is concerned and Eibar, who have lost the most games in the league (19), their preparations for the second tier are already on after relegation when they lost 4-1 to Valencia. Two wins in their last 20 matches in the league was the run that sped up their relegation. However, with a lot of changes expected, a win over Barcelona would give fans some hope going to the lower league.

Barcelona are coming from a run of three winless outings in La Liga as they suddenly lost form even at a time they were poised to go top of the table. Their 2-1 loss to Osasuna last time ended their title hopes and they can’t rise above third place but can drop to fourth. The biggest achievement this season was winning the Copa del Rey but with the La Liga title and Champions League still proving elusive, there’s still gloom at Camp Nou. In their last five league matches they have just one win, and one clean sheet in the last eight. Each of their last five away league matches has produced over 2.5 goals and Barcelona have no clean sheet. They have conceded two or more goals in three of four away league matches.
