Eibar Preview – Can Eibar halt losing streak?
Having lost five of heir last six matches in the Spanish top flight, Eibar will be desperate to put an end to this worrying slump in form when they entertain Athletic Bilbao at their Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa, and put daylight between themselves and the bottom three in La Liga.
Defeats to Deportivo Alaves, Barcelona, Mallorca, Real Sociedad and Real Madrid mean that Eibar now hold a slender two-point lead over third from bottom Mallorca as they head into this difficult fixture with Athletic Bilbao.
However, despite losing their last two home matches on the trot, there is a glimmer of hope for Eibar who have collected six home wins to date this season amidst an overall record of 6-1-7 19/20 which includes notable wins against Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, while midfielder Orellana (7 goals) and forward Charles (5 goals) look the most likely for the hosts.
Athletic Bilbao Preview – Can Athletic Bilbao continue revival?
Wednesday’s hosts, Athletic Bilbao, had previously also found themselves in a worrying downward spiral of form as the visitors had had to endure a tough 10-match sequence without a win in La Liga which included five defeats, but Gaizko Garitano’s aside have since staged a welcome revival in recent times.
Back-to-back wins against Villarreal 1-0 at home and a rousing 4-1 victory on the road at Real Valladolid have helped steer Athletic Bilbao from the lower reaches of the Spanish top flight, and they’ll head into this Wednesday evening encounter in confident mood having picked up a point in their recent 1-1 draw at home with Atletico Madrid.
However, concerns remain over Athletic Bilbao’s ability to pick up wins on the road in La Liga as their overall away record of 2-7-5 14/16 which includes just one win out of their last seven matches – but 9 of Athletic Bilbao’s 14 away matches have seen both teams score.
