Eibar vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting tips
On Monday evening, the Ipurua will be the battleground of the Basque regional derby between Eibar and Real Sociedad in the 33rd round of La Liga. The home team needs a Houdini stunt to escape relegation, while the visitors want to secure Europa League qualification as soon as possible.
Eibar:
It is alarm phase red at Eibar, which with only six rounds to play is stiff at the bottom in LaLiga. Only a miracle can save the team from relegation, also because the Basques have been hopelessly out of shape for weeks. The midweek 4-1 defeat at Granada meant the fourth loss in a row for Los Armeros, who have not been able to win for fifteen rounds in a row anyway.
Trainer Jose Luis Mendilibar also seems desperate. “We have very little chance of playing ourselves safe,” said the coach. ‘We have to fight more and stop making the same mistakes over and over again. We’re never going to make it this way. ‘ Well, ultimately this is of course the result of a lack of quality. Goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic and wing striker Bryan Gil can move higher, but the other Eibar players are actually not good enough for a top competition like LaLiga.
Real Sociedad:
Real Sociedad did excellent business in the battle for European football in the past midweek round in LaLiga. The San Sebastian club ended a streak of five league matches without a win by winning 2-1 against Celta de Vigo, while seeing competitors like Villarreal and Real Betis lose points. With a fifth place, the Basque Europa League qualification is fully in their own hands again.
Real Sociedad knows again what a victory tastes like, although the field game still left much to be desired. However, the Basques could use as an excuse that they are currently being hit by an injury wave, which means that key players such as David Silva and Mikel Merino are not available. Also Monday evening trainer Imanol Alguacil has to miss a cartload of players due to injuries and suspensions.
