Eibar hosts Atletico Madrid in round 19 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, January 21st at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua (Eibar)
It's time for the management of Eibar to write a dissertation on how to survive in the top league without significant financial and human resources. The team made a hand in this occupation. Now Jose Luis Mendilibar's charges are in 15th place, outranking the relegation zone by two points. This is a familiar position for a team that feels comfortable in the status of an eternal fighter for life. The personnel potential also corresponds to the status of the team. Eibar counts on real hard workers, who lean over backwards on the football field for the sake of the result. Mendilibar loves the utmost dedication from his charges. The main hopes are pinned on such players as Gil, Quique Garcia, Inui, and Pozo.

Atletico has a 4-point lead over Real Madrid and two games in reserve. Simeone's charges lost in only one out of 16 matches (against Real Madrid) and tied two times. If the Mattress Makers manage to complete the postponed games with a victorious result, then the advantage over competitors will reach 10 points. The main trump card of modern Atletico is reinforced concrete defense (only six conceded goals in 16 games played). The squad of the capital club looks fully equipped and capable of achieving great tournament heights. Summer newcomers of the team (Suarez, Kondogbia, and Carrasco) are doing well. Torreira still cannot gain a foothold in the starting eleven, but the potential of the Uruguayan is crazy. Joao Felix, Llorente, and Herrmozo demonstrate significant progress against the background of last year's championship.
In the previous championship, Eibar managed to sensationally beat the grandee in its arena (1:0), which was a rare achievement of Mendilibar's wards in the confrontation with the Mattress Makers. Currently, Atletico looks like a much more powerful team that achieves the required result (leadership in the standings). And the visitors will probably manage to earn three points.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win
