As Los Blancos travel to the smallest stadium in La Liga, with the capacity of 6,267, on Sunday, they will be aware of the fact that if they fail to collect maximum points out of the fixture, their manager Rafa Benitez risks losing his job after two league defeats in a row against Sevilla and Barcelona. Unfortunately for them, they face a team that has only lost twice this season and are placed at the seventh position on the log.
A win for Real Madrid will reduce the game between then and Barca to six points. A win for Eibar could take them up to the fifth position on the log.
However, the Spanish La Liga giants have renewed confidence ahead of the fixture, having beaten Shakhtar Donetsk 3-4 in Ukraine. On the downside, judging from the results in Ukraine, it simply means that Madrid have conceded 10 goals in their last three matches, a worrying statistic that Eibar could take advantage of and condemn the visitors to their third league defeat in a row.

On the other side, the Armeros have also been scoring goals, having netted in eight consecutive league games. They have a total of 17 goals, same as Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid. This clearly proves that they will not be an easy nut to crack when they host Madrid in Guipuzcoa. Jose Luis Mandilibar’s men are also good at defending, having conceded 12 goals in 12 games, which is the fifth-best defensive record in the Spanish league this season.
Team news
Real Madrid
The away team could miss the services of key defenders Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane ahead of the crucial trip to the Estadio Ipurrua. Marcelo is also doubtful ahead of the clash, and this could cause more defensive problems for Rafael Benitez. Isco will also miss the game, as he is serving his first match of a two-game suspension.
Eibar
Ander Capa could return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension. Keko will, however, miss the match after being sent off, and Japanese winger Takashi Inui could replace him.
