It is clear that can not hold all the season with the thorough accelerator and that the leadership still being solid, but if it wants to avoid the doubts, the FC Barcelona will have to impose to the Eibar in the visit that this Saturday will make to Ipurua. It will be in the first schedule of the afternoon, to the 16:15 (Spanish hour), and there is a warning that the Catalans will have to take into account.

As it aims 'Sportive World', the Barcelona group has punctured in several occasions when it has touched him play in this band, and in fact in his two more recent commitments has not attained to happen of the tie. It treats precisely, of the two last in LaLiga, with another visit to the Espanyol and a duel home in front of the Getafe.

This programming is the second more repeated in this course, and in the four remaining meetings there were three victories with some solvency and a more suffered in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. In the course happened also there were some problems regarding this schedule. Of the 10 tropiezos added by the culés, 3 were to the 16:15, leaving also the balance in 10 contested in this hour and 3 of them without winning.

In total between the seasons 2016-17 and the present, are 16 clashes in this turn, of which have elevated the triumphs until 11 but have fallen 4 ties and a defeat, with the painful revolcón in Riazor that could cost the title of League. Against the Sportive of the Coruña arrived the most sounded failure, but another equalised could mean a frenazo in the aspirations of the Barça to sentence the trophy suspender belt.

Value added

If the schedule against the Eibar can suppose a worry added, the victory would mean, unquestionably, an additional push. In the first place, it would be the best way to face with confidence the crossing of Champions against Chelsea, in second would put pressure to an Athletic of Madrid that plays the Sunday and to finish would tie another record for Ernesto Valverde, one that would share with Luis Enrique. The Barça could equalise the greater series of imbatibilidad in League, with 31 parties reached by Pep Guardiola. Motivations, of course, do not are missing him.
