Defending champions FC Barcelona (6-2-0, 18 points) looks to build a new winning streak as they take on tough squad SD Eibar (3-1-4, 13 points) at the Camp Nou on Sunday, October 25th for a 2015-2016 La Liga matchup.

Barça is coming off a remarkable 5-2 conquest of Rayo Vallecano last Saturday also at the Nou Camp as Brazilian sensation Neymar scored four goals for Luis Enrique's side, as reported by BBC Sport.

The Seleção captain found the back of the net at the 22nd, 32nd, 69th, and 70th-minute marks while teammate Luiz Suarez added another one at the 77th to complete the convincing win without their top superstar Lionel Messi.

Los Franjirrojos striker Javi Guerra actually put the visitors on top at the right in the opening minutes before two penalty kicks by Neymar put the hosts on top by halftime, 2-1. Vallecano Midfielder Jozabed scored one at the 86th minute to somewhat close the gap.

Meanwhile, Los Armeros settled for a 1-1 draw versus Sevilla at the Estadio Municipal de Ipura also last Saturday to save a point in the overall standings, as per SkySports.

Eibar striker Borja Bastón found the net at the 8th minute to give José Luis Mendilibar's team the early lead, but Los Rojiblancos forward Kévin Gameiro answered back at the 71st to salvage a tie.

The draw left Armagiñak with only one win in their last six games of the season.

Barça looks to start another winning run against Eibar, and with Neymar presently in top form they will be hard to stop.

The predicted result is a 3-1 decision for Barcelona.

Barcelona starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mathieu, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Roberto; Sandro, Suarez, Neymar

Eibar starting lineup (4-3-3-1 formation): Riesgo; Capa, Dos Santos, Ramis, Junca; Escalante, Carrillo; Saul, Gonzalez, Bender; Borja
