Eibar vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting tips
We start the Spanish football Sunday with the confrontation between Eibar and Villarreal. Both teams had a difficult end of 2018 and hope for improvement in the new year.
Eibar:
For Eibar the winter break came as called. The current fourteenth place in La Liga is not bad, considering the player material and the budget, but given the fact that the Basques did not win five official matches in a row anymore, a breather was very welcome. In addition, the sick bay of Los Armeros is now as good as empty. Trainer Jose Luis Mendilibar has already announced that first goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic will return Sunday afternoon between the posts.
As said, Eibar closed 2018 with a series of moderate results. The redblue of course wants to usher in the new year with a victory and in that respect they can be happy that they play for their own audience on Sunday afternoon. In the Ipurua the tough Basques are strong. Only Huesca and Sevilla managed to escape this season with full loot, while Real Madrid recently lost 3-0.
Villarreal:
The seventeenth place is of course Villarreal unworthy, although El Submarino Amarillo has been able to look up carefully since the appointment of coach Luis Garcia. Since his appointment, Villarreal has been unbeaten in three official games, including the handsome 2-2 draw of last Thursday-evening against Real Madrid. Routinier Santi Cazorla made it two goals to ensure that the yellow shirts left a deserved point in their meeting against the capitals. “Actually, we even deserved to win,” said Jaume Costa.
The good feeling is therefore somewhat back in the Ceramica, although Garcia is not to be enjoyed. “I really do not understand anything about those who plan the race schedule,” the coach grumbled. ‘We have barely sixty hours of rest in the run-up to Eibar-out. Why did not they just schedule us in the evening, instead of at noon ?! ” Garcia does indeed have a point. As if the fatigue factor is not enough, the coach also has to puzzle in the back. Jaume Costa and Alvaro Gonzalez are both suspended.
