Can Eibar avoid defeat?
There is pressure on Eibar given their position in the league. They have drawn their last two games played, grabbing a point against Athletic Bilbao and Getafe in this one.
The home record of Eibar this season is W6 D2 L7.
They have taken just one win in their last five home league fixtures however. One plus they have is that they are the highest scoring team in the current bottom five.
There is a big scoring streak that Eibar are on at home. They have netted in each of their last seven such fixtures, each of their last four going over 2.5 goals.
Eibar average 1.4 goals per game and 67% of their home games this season have made it above the 2.5 goal line.
So there are some strong betting trends to weigh up for this one.
That having been said each of the last four meetings between these two teams have ended under 2.5 goals. Three of the last four have ended under 1.5 goals.
When the two teams met earlier this season Eibar suffered a 1-0 loss at Valencia. The current head to head record is in Eibar’s form here.
They are W3 D2 L1 in their last six fixtures against Valencia.
Eibar have done alright this season as well in their home games against teams from the top half of the table.
Five of their six home successes have happened against teams currently 11th or higher.
Valencia looking for back to back wins
There was a win for Valencia last time out. Over the weekend they scored a 2-0 home success over Osasuna.
It has been just the one loss that they have suffered in their last five league games.
That loss was against Real Madrid earlier this month. So it’s not bad form from Valencia.
The one question mark over them, besides their dip in head to head form against Eibar, is their road form.
It is just three wins that Valencia have taken on their travels this season (W3 D3 L8) in La Liga.
They are winless in their last six top flight away games and there have been defensive issues.
Valencia have conceded in each of their last 11 road league fixtures. In each of Valencia’s last 10 La Liga away games, there have been over 2.5 goals.

Eibar vs Valencia Betting Advice
Eibar have won only one of their last nine league games and so aren’t running hot. They have shown a little bit of resilience recently, but they look too risky to back to get the win.
But then we have to size up the fact that they have had a pretty solid home campaign against stronger teams, and have that good current head to head record going over Valencia.
Key Facts – Eibar vs Valencia Betting Tip
- Eibar have won three of their last six against Valencia
- Valencia have managed three away wins only this season
- Valencia have lost just one of their last five league games
So one thing to consider would be to have a shot at Over 2.5 goals at evens* (betting odds taken from Bet365 at 00:57 GMT on Wednesday, 24th June, 2020), especially if you are expecting this game to produce a winner.
All but two of Valencia’s last 10 away games have made it over the 2.5 goal line, while each of Eibar’s last four home fixtures have gone that way as well.
But at the end of the day we are struggling to get past the Draw in the match outright.
