Contending teams SD Eibar and Atlético Madrid will try to move further up in the top five of the overall standings as they square off in a week 4 match of the 2015-2016 La Liga season at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium in Eibar, Spain on September 19, Saturday.
Both teams have not been successful in their most recent games and they will try to bounce back from their disappointments as they face each other.
The Armagiñak settled for a goalless draw versus lowly Málaga CF in their September 13 game at the Estadio La Rosaleda, as per SkySports.
José Luis Mendilibar's men failed to secure a tie with FC Barcelona at the leaderboard as they were unable to escape the standoff with Los Boquerones with both defenses holding up in full-time.
Meanwhile, Los Colchoneros are coming off a war against Barcelona in their last game, bowing to the Camp Nou giants, 1-2, at the Vicente Calderón Stadium behind the stellar play of Barça superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar who had a goal each.
Forward Fernando Torres opened the scoring for Atlético at the 51st-minute, but it was quickly answered by the Brazilian sensation four minutes later, as reported by ESPN.
Messi, who for the first time in a long while did not start a game, substituted in for midfielder Ivan Rakitić at the hour mark of the match, slotted in a relaxed shot off a rebound to overtake Atleti at the 77th-minute.
The predicted result is a close 2-1 win for Atlético Madrid. Despite Saturday's loss to Barça, Diego Simeone's boys are better prepared than Eibar's, whose games had been declining as of late.
