Eibar vs Villarreal Live Stats & Betting Odds
Eibar Prediction – Can Eibar avoid third defeat on trot?
Back-to-back defeats to Barcelona who need no introduction, along with a loss away from home at Real Valladolid who still remain unbeaten at home, have seen Eibar stay in 16th place in La Liga, but they return to their Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa for this Thursday evening clash with Villarreal where they stand a good chance of getting something here.
Eibar are still waiting for this first away win of the new Spanish top flight season following 3 draws and 3 defeats on the road amidst an overall record of 0-3-3 4/8, but they stand a reasonable chance of picking up points at home where they’ve posted a record of 2-0-2 6/7 which includes wins against 5th placed Sevilla and fourth from bottom Celta Vigo.
With just 4 defeats out of their last 19 matches on home turf in La Liga, Eibar are certainly no mugs despite their current lowly league position in La Liga, and they’re also unbeaten in their last 3 meetings at home against Villarreal.
Villarreal Prediction – Can Villarreal break into top six?
7th placed Villarreal will be seeking all three points when they make their way over to Eibar on Thursday night as they look to break into the top six of La Liga as they trail 6th placed Real Madrid by just 1 point ahead of this upcoming clash.
The visitors have also collected 3 wins out of their last 4 matches overall in the Spanish top flight with victories gained over Real Betis, Espanyol and Deportivo Alaves, but only 1 of these 3 wins were achieved away from home (1-0 at Espanyol).
Villarreal still remain unbeaten on home turf at their Estadio de la Cerámica where they’ve registered 3 wins and 2 draws from their first 5 home matches of this new season, but results away from home have been less convincing.
An away record of 2-0-3 7/6 includes wins at Leganes and Espanyol but these have been outweighed by losses at Levante, Barcelona and Osasuna, while the bigger picture shows that Villarreal have captured just 5 wins out of their last 21 matches on their travels in La Liga.
Key-Facts – Eibar vs Villarreal
- Eibar have lost just 4 of their last 19 home matches in La Liga
- Villarreal have captured just 5 wins out of their last 21 matches in La Liga
- Eibar are unbeaten in their last 3 meetings at home against Villarreal
Betting Tips Verdict
Given Villarreal’s average form away from home, Eibar stand a decent chance of at least avoiding defeat here and picking up at least a point.
