Villarreal looked Real Madrid in the eye but could not take anything from that match. It didn’t really matter all that much, as Villarreal have already booked a ticket to the Europa League next season. They will now play host to Eibar for the last match of the season, an Eibar side that has been in quite a good shape lately.

Villarreal (17-14-6) are coming into this match after a 1-2 away loss against Real Madrid. They were already down by two goals when they scored a late goal that didn’t change anything. That was their second consecutive loss, and third in their last four. Even so, Villarreal are still sitting at the 5th spot of the league table with 57 points, two ahead of Real Sociedad. They have a 8-5-5 record at home and have won just two of their last six there (2-3-1).

Eibar (11-17-9) were really effective in their home match against Valladolid, where they scored two early goals and held on to the result, eventually winning by 1-3. They have grabbed seven points in their last three matches and have lost just twice in their last nine (4-2-3). Eibar are sitting at the 13th spot of the league table with 42 points, scoring just 39 goals and conceding 52 in the process. They have not been any good on the road either (3-9-6) but have lost just one of their last four (2-1-1).

Eibar won by a slim 1-2 at home in the reverse fixture, which makes this a balanced H2H in the last five, with two wins for each team. However, Villarreal have been great as hosts against Eibar over the years (8-3-1) and should have the upper hand here. But Eibar have been great lately and could assist in the scoring department.
