Eibar vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
Eibar is without a win this season. However, the Basques hope to be able to change that on Thursday evening when Seville comes to visit the Ipurua. The visitors have a crowded game calendar, and will therefore probably rotate.
Eibar:
Eibar has become a decent La Liga club in recent years, but this season the Basques have not found their way yet. With only two points, Los Armeros are still waiting for their first win after five rounds. Last weekend, the red-blue visitors to Levante came no further than a scoreless draw, even though coach Jose Luis Mendilibar could live with that: ‘We have kept our goal clean and we score a point in an away match. That’s fine.’
Now it must happen. In the space of just four days, Seville and Celta de Vigo come to visit Ipurua, and Eibar wants to have at least four points left in both confrontations. Last season, more than 75 percent of all points were earned in-house, and this year’s volume will probably not be any different. Eibar has had five days of rest, so on Thursday evening he will mainly appeal to the famous names. However, best defender Ivan Ramis is not completely fit and is therefore a doubt case.
Seville:
Sevilla has had a good start to the season with ten points from five rounds, although the Andalusians have lost the lead after the 0-1 home defeat last weekend against Real Madrid. “We didn’t reach our usual level today and Real Madrid played great,” said midfielder Ever Banega, who played his 200th match in the shirt of Seville. “The disappointment is great, we are back on our feet again.” The only player who did reach his level was goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik, who managed to save Sevilla from an even greater defeat with some formidable saves. The red and white often had a goalkeeper problem in the past, but with Vaclik they have one of the best goalkeepers on the Spanish fields.
Seville naturally wants to wash away the defeat against Real Madrid as quickly as possible with a win over Eibar. Due to the overcrowded schedule, trainer Julen Lopetegui seems to be planning a lot of rotation. Players like Sergio Reguilon, Diego Carlos, Banega, Lucas Ocampos and the still very unluckily playing Luuk de Jong will probably get some rest. That means players like Jules Kounde, Sergio Escudero, Javier Hernandez and Oliver Torres can hope for a base place.
