Real Madrid 0-2 Real Betis
LIVE! Eibar vs Barcelona
LaLiga 2018-19

Real Madrid closed the book on a hugely disappointing 2018-19 season with a home loss against Real Betis before LaLiga champions Barcelona conclude their latest successful league campaign away to Eibar.

Los Blancos were already guaranteed to finish third behind rivals Barca and runners-up Atletico for the second successive season after a 3-1 defeat at Real Sociedad and ended the league campaign with a whimper on Sunday.

Ernesto Valverde's side wrapped up their 26th domestic title with three games to spare at home to Levante last month - but that eighth success in 11 years was quickly overshadowed by a second successive humiliating Champions League collapse.

Real Madrid team news and predicted line-up

Captain Sergio Ramos is expected to miss out again for Real Madrid having not trained on Friday as he continues to suffer with a calf injury.

Alvaro Odriozola remains sidelined with a broken collarbone, while striker Mariano Diaz is a doubt.

Casemiro and Jesus Vallejo are both suspended.

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Nacho, Varane, Marcelo, Valverde, Modric, Kroos, Benzema, Brahim, Vinicius​ Jr

Barcelona team news and predicted line-up

Barcelona are already without Luis Suarez after the Uruguayan striker underwent knee surgery.

Ousmane Dembele is also sidelined along with first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, while Philippe Coutinho is struggling with a hamstring injury.

Rafinha remains a long-term absentee, but Arthur could return after a pelvis injury.

Talented youngsters such as Carles Alena, Abel Ruiz and Riqui Puig are likely to remain in contention with the Copa del Rey final looming.

Barcelona XI: Cillessen, Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Alena, Ruiz, Malcom, Messi


Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Real Betis

Real Madrid have won only one of their last four LaLiga matches, so you would not bet against Betis - who won 1-0 at the Bernabeu in September 2017 - becoming the latest team to inflict misery on the 13-time European champions.

However, certain home players should be doing all they can to prove that they do have viable long-term futures at the club, so we anticipate a potential narrow home victory.

Score prediction: Eibar 1-3 Barcelona

Despite dealing with a few notable injury problems and with Valverde potentially set to rest some big names ahead of the Copa del Rey showpiece, Barcelona should still be too strong for Eibar and continue the early stages of their post-Liverpool recovery.

A comfortable away win surely beckons.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

Real Madrid, as you might expect, have largely dominated this fixture over the years, winning 2-1 at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in mid-January as Dani Ceballos came back to haunt his former club with a late free-kick after Luka Modric's early opener was cancelled out by ex-Madrid man Sergio Canales.

Barcelona boast an incredibly strong record against Eibar, and beat them 3-0 at Camp Nou in mid-January thanks to Suarez's brace and a 400th LaLiga goal from Lionel Messi.
