Eibar vs Valencia Prediction & Betting tips
The final agreement of the twelfth round in Spain is played in Eibar, where the club of the same name receives a visit from Valencia. Last season, both teams managed to win a mutual game 1-0. What are the expectations for Monday night’s meeting?
Eibar:
Many foresaw a very tough season for the Basque formation. With Fabián Orellana and Gonzalo Escalante, among others, two pillars left the northern Spanish village last summer, while no players of the same caliber could be brought back for it. Los Armeros’ season start was therefore dramatic: only one point was taken from the first four league matches.
Nevertheless, trainer José Luis Mendilibar managed to turn the tide. After the four defeats, the first victory followed in the fifth round and things started to turn around after the visit to the stiff Real Valladolid (1-2). Since the victory, only one more time has been lost (Cádiz at home, 0-2) and the Basques moved up to eleventh place in the ranking. Eibar is particularly defensive: the team conceded the fewest hits in the competition, except for two teams. Furthermore, Mendilibar can have Paulo Oliveira again on Monday, the defensive base force was injured in the run-up to last weekend’s game.
Valencia:
Just like the past two seasons, this vintage is also far below par in the run-up to the winter break. In the summer, chairman Peter Lim in particular received a lot of criticism from the Valencian supporters, as the lender turned the door to a number of key players for relatively small transfer fees. The result was that at the start of the new season a top club unworthy selection was ‘ready’.
The consequences of the loss of quality at los Che have clearly emerged in the first eleven rounds of play. Although they won on a visit to Real Sociedad (0-1) and the 4-1 victory over Real Madrid was also nice, but those were certainly not lasting victories. Especially in defensive terms, the club from the Orange City is far too easy to know and the attacking line is not able to compensate for the defensive flaws. Valencia is currently fifteenth, but due to the small differences in the rankings, the season is certainly not lost.
