Touted as strong relegation candidates this season, Eibar are expected to be in and around the drop-zone for most parts of the campaign. So far, affairs are playing out in this manner as the Gunsmiths find themselves in 17^th-place on the log.

In truth, Eibar have been decent this term, amassing 15 points in as many games so far. However, it is obvious that these ones will need something extra if they are to extend their stay in the Spanish top-flight for another year, at least. We expect them to bring their A-game to Catalunya for this tie.

Barcelona vs Eibar Team News

Following a very slow start to the league campaign, Barcelona are gradually beginning to regain their footing. There is now a sense of belief about the club that they can go on to challenge for the La Liga title this term.

Since that famous 8-2 drubbing to Bayern Munich in the previous edition of the Champions League, Barca have had their confidence eroded. Also, they didn’t have a pleasant summer as they saw clinical striker Luis Suarez depart for Atletico Madrid.

As if there weren’t already enough problems to deal with, their faithful servant Lionel Messi threatened to force a move from the club. Despite the kerfuffle going on in the background, the Blaugrana attempted to weather through it, to have themselves a fantastic 2020/21 campaign.

However, things didn’t go to plan as Barcelona’s off-the-pitch issues affected their results, causing them to drop points earlier on in the season. Thankfully, the Blaugrana seem to have put their woes behind them, and are looking to begin their hunt for La Liga glory.

Unbeaten in their previous four league games, three of which ended in victories, Koeman’s charges have climbed up to fifth-place on the log. With 24 points on the board, a win for the Catalan club here could see them rise to as high as third-place after this round of fixtures.

In no mood for hugs and kisses on the last matchday, Barcelona romped through Real Valladolid, firing three unanswered goals past them. While Barca were running riot in this game, Eibar capitulated at the hands of Alaves.

The newly-promoted side showed no respect for the Gunsmiths as they dominated proceedings all through the ninety minutes of the match.
Eibar’s 4^th-minute goal counted for nothing as Alaves’ Mendez and Deyverson hit the target to post a 2-1 win, sending Los Armeros home emptyhanded. Mendilibar’s men will be hoping for a miracle-of-sorts to upset Barcelona in this contest.

Injured or Suspended Players

Barcelona: Lionel Messi, Ansu Fati, Gerard Pique, Sergi Roberto, Ousmane Dembele and Jordi Alba.
Eibar: Jose Angel.

Barcelona vs Eibar Predictions

With Lionel Messi set for a spell on the sidelines, the Blaugrana will have to lineup without their midfield maestro here. In the miniature Argentinian’s absence, the likes of Griezmann, de Jong and Coutinho must come to the fore.

Now, Eibar are one of the worst teams in the league this season, and are on a poor run of form – winless in their previous four games on the bounce. Even without Messi, we expect Barcelona to secure a routine win to pile on the misery for the visitors.
