Las Rozas vs Eibar Prediction & Betting tips
For the third time in the club’s history, Las Rozas CF is taking part in the Copa del Rey. The team from Madrid had a premiere in December. With a 1-0 win over second division Mirandés, the blue-whites moved into the second main round of the most important Spanish cup competition for the first time. Now, with SD Eibar, a representative from La Liga is making a guest appearance in Navalcarbón.
In the run-up to the match between Las Rozas and Eibar, the odds of the bookmakers are clearly pointing towards the guests, as the betting base odds comparison shows.
Finally, it can be stated that Las Rozas is currently in a bad position in the league. The blue-whites hold the red lantern in Segunda División B and could only win one of their eight league games. In addition to the second weakest offensive, they also have the worst defense in their league.
Therefore, not only the outsider bet appears to be less promising, but also the prognosis that the underdog will score a goal against the first division club. We therefore recommend that Las Rozas against Eibar tip the visiting team to zero.
Las Rozas :
Las Rozas CF, based in the autonomous community of Las Rozas de Madrid, has existed since the 1960s. For the 1971/72 season, the small club started in the seventh highest Spanish league and slowly worked its way up through the leagues over five decades.
In the 2017/18 season, the blue-whites still played in the fifth division, but then rose twice in a row. Since 2019/20 they are represented for the first time in the third highest division in the country, in which they held the class as 17th last season.
This season, too, relegation is the goal of the Madrilenians, who got off to a bad start in Group A of Segunda División B. Five of the first eight league games were lost, so the blue-whites currently hold the red lantern.
A readjustment on the coaching bench took place accordingly early. After just one point from four games was taken under coach Iván Helguera, Manolo Cano took over the coaching position on November 12, 2020, under which a victory in the Copa Federacion and in the first league game could be celebrated.
After four games without a win in a row, the initially good form fizzled out after the change of coach. All the more surprising came the coup in the Copa del Rey at the end of December when Mirandés was able to eliminate a second division team.
Judging by the fact that the blue-whites only scored five goals in eight games in the league and are also the shooting gallery of their division when they conceded 13, the Madrilenians go into the second cup round as a clear underdog.
Eibar :
SD Eibar has been an integral part of La Liga since the 2014/15 season, even if the establishment of the Basques on the piano nobile of Spanish football went well. After marching through from the third division, Eibar was finally in 18th place in the final table as a relegated team, but was still able to hold the class because of Elche’s forced relegation at the green table.
A league stay with consequences, because the team readjusted the positions where it was lacking and had nothing to do with the relegation in the following five seasons. Also this summer the blue-red landed on a solid 14th place.
At the moment the Basques are twelfth in La Liga, but are only three points ahead of a direct relegation place in a very tight league table. Seven times the men of long-time coach José Luis Mendilibar didn’t get beyond the point division, which is why there are only four wins out of the 17 games played.
In particular, the offensive has to increase in order to achieve a better yield, because “Los Armeros” (in German: the weapon makers) have only scored 14 goals in 17 games so far. This confirms Eibar to be the fourth weakest offensive in all of La Liga.
Most recently, the Basques sold themselves extremely dearly. At the end of 2020, they drew 1-1 at FC Barcelona away from home, before the 2021 kick-off last Sunday brought a 2-0 home win over Granada – two opponents who are currently both still represented in UEFA competitions.
After all, the defense of the blue-reds is part of the crème de la crème of Spain. José Luis Mendilibar’s selection allows for less than one goal on average per game. Against this background, it makes sense to allude to the tip on the Armeros’ zero victory at Las Rozas against Eibar.
