Atletico Madrid: chances are the title
Atletico is the second in the La Liga standings, 9 points in Barcelona. Theoretically there are chances to win the title of champion, but basically they are infinite, not to say nonexistent. It is hard to believe that the Catalan team will lose 4 of the 6 games it has to play. Probably, until the mathematical recording, Simeone will not let his team rest. For the match with Eibar there are some problems at the lot. There are players in all compartments, but the most important is Antoine Griezmann, the scorer of the guests, with 14 goals scored. The Frenchman is suspended for the cumulus of yellow cards. And he is not the only one absent from the offensive of Atletico, Diego Costa will miss the red card in the Barcelona match. Captain Godin started training separately from the rest of the group, but he responds well to physical demands and can return to the Saturday match with Eibar. Savic remains out of the lot because of the medical problems that kept him away from the ground for much of this season.
- The probable team (4-4-2): Oblak – Juanfran, Gimenez, Godin, Filipe Luis – Koke, Rodrigo, Saul, Lemar – Correa, Morata
- Coach: Diego Simeone
- Injuries: Lucas Hernandez, Savic
- Suspend: Diego Costa, Griezmann
Eibar vs Atletico Madrid Picks
Eibar has good chances for a good result after a long time. Atletico has 5 wins in the last 5 games on Ipurua and rarely had problems with the Basque team. Eibar was very close to a success in the tour after the goal scored in the 87th minute, but was equalized in the last phase of the meeting. Now the guests have a few important absences and are again good chances for the host team to get a positive result.
