Real Madrid vs Eibar Team News

The hosts have a relatively clean bill of health with defender Nacho Fernandez and striker Luka Jovic the only members of the squad missing through injury.

Real Madrid vs Eibar Preview

Jose Luis Mendilibar's side head to the Spanish capital with one of the worst away records in La Liga.

Eibar have won just once on the road all term and their total of eight goals scored in 13 matches is the lowest in the division.

Real Madrid for their part boast La Liga's meanest defence having conceded just 19 times and they will be confident of keeping the goal-shy visitors at bay.

The 13-time European champions have kept seven clean sheets in their last 11 home league clashes and backing them to do so once more makes plenty of sense given their opponents' problems in the final third.

Real Madrid vs Eibar Tips And Predictions

The side from the capital of Spain are priced at 19/20 (1.95) to win to nil, a selection that makes plenty of sense.

Madrid overwhelmed Eibar without giving them a sniff of goal when they met back in November and backing them to record another comfortable win should prove profitable.
