Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Eibar at “Wanda Metropolitano” in the gameweek 38 of the Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played in Madrid on Sunday, May 20th.
Atletico Madrid couldn’t compete with Barcelona for the LaLiga champion’s title in this season, however, the team has practically guaranteed itself the silver medals. This mid-week “Los Colchoneros” won the UEFA Europa League champion’s title while in the Spanish elite division they currently occupy the second place with 78 points earned in 37 encounters conducted. The club’s offense with Antoine Griezmann and Diego Costa at the helm is a real nightmare for the opponents as it has scored 56 goals already while its defense conducts one of the best seasons as Jan Oblak has conceded 20 goals only. In the latest clashes hosted at their own turf Atletico Madrid have failed 0:2 against Espanyol, deserved 0:0 draw against Betis and celebrated 1:0 victory over Arsenal.

In their turn, Eibar showed quite decent football in this season. The side is lacking stability and wide roster which could have enabled the Basques to fight for a pass to the Eurocups. At the moment “Armaginak” settle on the ninth position in the LaLiga standings with 50 points collected after 37 rounds behind. The team demonstrates unconvincing performance in attack as it needs a leader, thus, it has scored only 42 goals so far, however, its defense looks even weaker with 48 goals conceded. In the previous tackles conducted on the road Eibar thrashed Girona 4:1, got 0:0 draw against Valencia and broke Espanyol 1:0.
Atletico Madrid won last five head-to-heads against Eibar at “Wanda Metropolitano”. Consequently, I believe that the UEFA Europa League winner will please its fans with another victory in the forthcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
