Eibar vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction & Betting tips
Eibar versus Athletic Bilbao is not only a Basque region, it is also a very important duel in the fierce battle for European football. Both teams are each other’s direct competitors to get a top seven-rating.
Eibar :
That Eibar is called this season with European football may be a little wonder. In 2013, the Basques were still active in the Segunda Division B, the third level of the Spanish professional football. After two promotions in a row, the club suddenly ended up in the Primera Division, where the red blades in their first two seasons had to take all sails to survive. During this football year, the small club experienced her major breakthrough, although I do not make any illusions in the cozy Ipurua. “We have not forgotten where we are from,” said President Amaia Gorostiza.
The advance of Eibar is mainly due to the sharpness of the forefront, because with 52 competitions, the Basques outside the Spanish summit are four the most scoring team of the entire Primera Division. Last week, visiting Real Betis (2-0 defeat), the team of coach Mendilibar had a total off-day. “We did not get our level today. Every second ball was for Real Betis, we did not adjust. ” That will have to be different on Monday night. Los Armeros can in any case put their trust in their recent home results, as the last six home duels brought as much as thirteen points in the lead.
Probable setup Eibar
Yoel; Luna, Galvez, Ramis, Capa; Inui, Dani Garcia, Escalante, Pedro Leon; Enrich, Kike Garcia
Athletic Bilbao :
Athletic Bilbao can wipe her chest on Monday night. The red whites must be the main ones of their home games because, with only fourteen points from fifteen outings, they are officially the worst club of the Spanish top twelve.
The good news is anyway that trainer Ernesto Valverde in and against Eibar can have his entire team. Only defender Elustondo is a question mark, but he is usually not much more than bank filling and will not be missed. Benat is again fit and so Valverde now has a luxury problem in the midfield. Iturraspe is expected to be preferred over Benat, but may decide Valverde so otherwise. Los Leones can always work with confidence on Monday night, because last week Las Palmas was rolled up with no less than 5-1. Valverde knows, however, that it will not be easy for Eibar: “Some teams let it run at some point, but Eibar always stops the last flash signal for each ball.”
Probable setup Athletic Bilbao
Kepa; Balenziaga, Laporte, Yeray, De Marcos; Iturraspe, San Jose; Muniain, Raul Garcia, Williams; Aduriz
