Barcelona have won their last five las liga matches in a row and they will start as favourites against Eibar who are winlessin their last six matches in all competitions.
Barcelona
After winning just three La Liga games in nine matches, Barcelona have started to recover from it as they have won their last five matches now.
Against Getafe they won by 2-1 and that was Barcelona's first goal conceded in five matches and they have now stepped up their title defence as they will want to win their fourth title in five seasons.
Barcelona have a home record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat and have won four out of their last six home matches. In their last three home games, since losing to Real Betis 3-4 at home, they have won their last two home games beating Villarreal and Celta Vigo by 2-0 each.
The player to watch for Barcelona will be Lionel Messi. He has scored 16 goals from 16 La Liga games this season including five goals in his last three matches. He also has a good record as he has scored seven goals in his four previous home games against Eibar.
Eibar:
Eibar are a team that is in a strange run of form. Interestingly, they have drawn each of their last five matches in all competitions, despite failing to win it.
In their last 6 away games, Eibar have only only won once and in their last three away games they drew with Valladolid 0-0, lost to Rayo Vallecano 1-0 and drew with Real Betis 1-1. They have managed one win away from home this season to date.
Eibar have also drawn 3 and lost 4 times on their travels. Away from home they have scored only five goals but conceded 12.
The player to watch for this match will be Brazilian striker Charles. He has scored four goals in his last five games and a total of seven goals this season.
Past Meetings:
The last time the two sides met was in February last year when Barcelona won 2-0 at Eibar thanks to goals from Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba.
Last season Barcelona won this fixture by 6-1 at the Nou Camp and they have also won all eight clashes with Eibar.
The Pick:
Go for Total Goals Over 3.75 in this match.
That's a bet that would have paid out on the last three occasions as this clash between both teams tend to produce lots of goals with 27 going in across the past six meetings.
