Eibar vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting tips
In the previous one, there is no clear favorite to win the game this time. However, if we consider the highest hierarchy of the visit, we play it for its simple triumph in this opportunity. Remember that Eibar was not confident against Huesca in Ipurúa, showing him defending badly and conceding two goals in the initial stage. Paints to be an intense and dynamic duel at times, but favorable to the Real for its greater collective and individual category.
Eibar:
The Basques do not get well to this duel after losing 2-0 to Getafe at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez and add their second consecutive defeat in the competition. Currently they have 0 points in the table, having previously lost to Huesca at home. If we analyze the performance of the team, we can conclude that it is defending poorly and that it has totally lost the mystique shown in the previous tournament (a mixture of collective order with dynamic football when attacking). For this match it is expected that Mendilibar will make some variants in the starting lineup, trying to recover the lost confidence of the entire squad in general.
As a local in Ipurúa, Eibar played a game in this Santander League and the result was negative for their aspirations (defeat 1-2 against Huesca after falling 0-2 in the first half). Now the objective of coach Mendilibar is to propose a more tactical and orderly match in the midfield, trying not to leave spaces at the moment of scoring. Ideally, the team should be balanced between the lines and look for the goal taking advantage of the small dimensions of their field. Of course, it is necessary that the strikers Sergi Enrich and Kike García are fine in the definition, as well as the Orellana and Baby flyers in the elaboration (important work by the bands).
Real Sociedad:
Asier Garitano’s team comes relatively calm to this match after leveling 2-2 against Leganés in Butarque. The team played well at times and showed its best performance in the first half (0-2 win). The problem came later, when he could not sustain the result and ended up yielding two goals in the second 45 ‘minutes of play. These days, the Real has 4 points in the table, his goal being to maintain regularity and undefeated in this start of the championship.
As a visitor, the Real Sociedad already knows what it is to win, after winning 1-2 against Villarreal in the Madrigal. The positive thing about that match is that he was able to overcome it, showing a combative and competitive attitude throughout the 90 minutes of play. Also noticed was the hand of coach Asier Garitano, who seems to have balanced the team in his actions. For this exit it is expected that the Basques take their precautions, since they will collide with a direct and vertical group when attacking. The good thing is that they still have men of attack weight like Oyarzábal, Juanmi and Willian José. Therefore, it should not surprise us that they have spaces to elaborate and write down.
In the last 4 years, Eibar and Real Sociedad have met 5 times in Ipurúa. These have been the markers of these matches: Victory 1-0 of Eibar in August 2014, win 2-1 of Eibar in April 2016, victory 2-0 of Eibar in September 2016, draw 0-0 in April 2018 and victory 2-3 of the Real Sociedad in July 2018. Of course, this last game was given under the framework of a friendly club. Apparently, the Real Sociedad has not won in Ipurúa in recent years, may only do so in a game of preparation. Paint to repeat a process adjusted as seen in almost all these meetings.
