In the match Barcelona – Eibar on January 13, 2019, the leader will take the middle peasant of the Spanish championship. The starting whistle at the Camp Nou stadium will sound at 20:30 Moscow time.Barcelona The Catalans continue to lead the standings with a five-point lead over Atlético. Barça are confidently moving towards the title with six matches without defeat. The Catalans managed to continue their unbeaten run in the match of the previous round, in which Barcelona went to visit Getafe. In the match with Getafe, the guests managed to quickly take the lead, Lionel Messi threw the ball past the defenders and the goalkeeper, after which he rolled the ball into an empty net – 0:1 in the 20th minute. Barça’s dominance continued even after the goal was scored, five minutes later Gerard Pique could differ, the defender punched in one touch, but the ball hit the goalkeeper exactly. Very soon, Luis Suarez corrected his partner’s mistake, the Uruguayan caught the ball perfectly on the penalty area line and shot it, the ball flew into the near corner and doubled the advantage of the guests in the 39th minute. The game could well have ended after the first half, but Jaime Mata returned the intrigue, the Getafe player scored an empty net and closed the gap in the 43rd minute. After the break, the Blue Garnets didn’t look so confident anymore. The players of Getafe intercepted the advantage and began to press the guests to their gates. More than once Ter-Stegen shone in the composition of Barca, the Catalan goalkeeper made several good saves and did not allow the ball to fly into his own net for the second time. The result is 1:2, the Blue Garnet won, and in the Barcelona-Eibar match they will need a similar result in order to prevent competitors from getting closer. Eibar The “armourers” now have a strange situation, the team has been playing a draw for four rounds, because of which, the team has turned from a contender for European cups into a typical middle peasant. Eibar’s draw streak continued in the previous round match against Villarreal. In the home match against the “yellow submarine”, the hosts managed to quickly create the first scoring chance. Fabian Orellana had a good moment to open an account, the midfielder jumped out to a rendezvous with the goalkeeper, though too sharp an angle did not allow him to open an account. Despite such a frisky start, the continuation of the first half turned out to be quite boring, the teams rarely created scoring chances and went into the break with a score of 0. More interesting events developed after the rest. The teams quickly began to create chances and in exchange for a save by Asier Riesgo from Eibar, Villarreal responded with a save from his goalkeeper, Ivan Ramis headed from the line of the goalkeeper – to no avail. Both teams quickly got used to it and started playing almost without the center of the field, creating chances near the opponent’s goal. Gonzalo Escalante had a great scoring chance in the 90th minute, the midfielder punched through the empty net, but at the last moment the ball was cleared from the goal line by the defender. The result – 0:0, the draw series continued, although in the match Barcelona – Eibar a draw is unlikely to upset the wards of Jose Mendilibar.
