This is a long shot, so please don’t be upset if it’s not a winner dear friends.

I have faith in Eibar today – it might sound stupid and of course I don’t think they will win the game, but with Barcelonas upcoming fixtures in mind, I think they can compete with Barca for long periods of the match and even score against them.

Manu del Moral have played as an offensive left winger for the last two games, and I think manager Gaizka Garitano will stick to this plan. Even if Eibar have trouble offensively in recent weeks, don’t forget that they’re the best offensive team among the teams in the lowest third of the table.

Manu knows how to score against Barcelona – he did it 3 times for Getafe and have scored 2 of Eibars 8 goals during 2015 in La Liga.

Barcelona will have trouble in defence where it is even romoured that Ivan Rakitic (!) will play in the centre of the defence due to injuries and suspensions among Luis Enriques backline.

For sure, Alba and Alves won’t play due to suspension and I don’t think he will risk Mascherano for a potential 5th yellow card which will mean suspension against Real Madrid in El Clasico next week.

Bear in mind that Barca is also playing Man. City in Champions League already in midweek and that they’ve only kept 1 Clean Sheet in the last 10 matches in all competitions.

In La Liga, last 50 away matches have only given 20 Clean Sheets, so I don’t think Eibar is without a chance to score a goal.

I choose Manu del Moral to score as he is my best bid for an Eibar goalscorer Saturday. He will for sure get oppertunities against a shuffled Barca-lineup, so odds 8 is for sure more than I’d expected. Tipico with 7 for those who can’t bet with Unibet.
