Eibar vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday afternoon, Eibar receives Celta de Vigo’s own Ipurua visit. Both teams had a moderate competition start and hope to get their seasonal aspirations back on track with a victory.
Eibar:
Eibar is alive and kicking again. After a disappointing start of the competition with only two points from five games, the Basques were finally able to celebrate their first victory of the new season last Thursday. In own Ipurua, the red-blue fought back against Sevilla from a 0-2 deficit, culminating in the decisive 3-2 of left back Jose Angel eight minutes before time. “This victory is worth much more than three points,” said trainer Jose Luis Mendilibar aptly. “Thanks to this victory, faith is back again.”
With this victory, Eibar continued the line of last season, because last year Los Armeros were almost unbeatable in their own Ipurua. The team is not exactly overflowing with football ingenuity, but on the basis of struggle and commitment, it is a very tough opponent, especially for its own public. Eibar has only three days to recover, but I am sure the team will stand its ground again on Sunday afternoon.
Celta de Vigo:
Celta de Vigo also came into action last Thursday evening. At home against Espanyol, the Galicians crawled through the eye, because only in the fifth minute of the injury time did Santi Mina bring his team past the goal with a good header: 1-1. The audience in the Balaidos was therefore relieved to breathe, although the disappointment dominated. Striker Santi Mina: ‘Although we have a nice team, the reality is that we only have six points in our pocket. A win from six rounds is far too little. ”
I fully agree with Santi Mina’s criticism. Attracting players like Rafinha, Denis Suarez and the same Mina and retaining Iago Aspas, Celta de Vigo was seen as one of the big winners of the last transfer period, but so far not much has been noticed. Last Thursday, the team had a whopping 64 percent possession of the ball and fourteen goal attempts, but Espanyol goalkeeper Diego Lopez only had to stretch three times. Celta de Vigo scored only four times this season, which of course is far too little. For football fans in Vigo and the surrounding area, it is hoped that Iago Aspas (good for twenty goals last season) will get back into shape quickly, because his team desperately needs his goals.
