Eibar vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Preview – 19/09/15
La Liga preview – Eibar vs Atletico Madrid prediction
The injury problems for Eibar continue with both Jaime and Irureta struggling. This would mean that Asier Riesgo will continue to deputise in goal. Lillo and Ander Gayoso are expected to be still on the side lines. There are no major concerns otherwise and Mendilibar should opt for the same eleven from the last game against Malaga.
For the visitors, Diego Godin and Filipe Luis are addressing minor knocks ahead of the weekend clash. Stefan Savic may step in for Godin for the Eibar clash. Fernando Torres should continue to start after his goal scoring game against Barcelona. There are doubts on the suitability of Oliver Torres after a poor game against the Blaugrana but there are no big changes expected.
Possible Line-ups
Eibar: 4-5-1 formation: Riesgo; Luna, Dos Santos, Ramis, Capa; Berjon, Escalante, Garcia, Adrian, Keko; Enrich
Atletico Madrid: 4-4-2 formation: Oblak; Luis, Godin, Gimenez, Jaunfran; Koke, Tiago, Gabi, O. Torres; F. Torres, Griezmann

Eibar come into the game on the back of a good start to their season. The Basque club is undefeated after 3 matches and stand 5th on the table ahead of their visitors. Goals from Adrian is helping Eibar fly high and the home side will hope from more magic from the playmaker.

The hosts have won their last two games at Ipurua but that counts for nothing against Atletico who have won their last 9 games on the road. But, the high flying Basque club will try to shut the game down and continue their good start.
