Two clubs in opposite halves of the Liga BBVA table will do battle today in a league match between Eibar and Barcelona. The first-division clash scheduled for 1 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
What They're Saying
Eibar midfielder Jon Errasti (via Inside Spanish Football): "I ask the Eibar fans to make Ipurua a fortress and be with us from the very first minute. It's important to feel the closeness of them all, in what is the height of this club's history."
Barcelona winger Pedro (via Inside Spanish Football): "It's been seen throughout the season how little opportunities I've had, but I have to wait for them and take advantage of them when they do arrive."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Neymar occupying space on the left, it's easy to understand Pedro's lack of playing time. In 22 league appearances, the 23-year-old has 17 goals and four assists.
Getafe's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Jaime; Lillo, Ekiza, Nvas, Bóveda; Errasti, Fernandez; Saul, Moral, Capa; Piovaccari
Almeria's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Bravo; Adriano, Bartra, Pique, Montoya; Rakitic, Mascherano, Rafinha; Neymar, Suarez, Messi
