Real Sociedad vs Eibar Prediction & Betting tips
In the Spanish Basque Country, the regional derby between Real Sociedad and Eibar is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Both teams have had a series of disappointing results, and can therefore use a boost!
Real Sociedad:
Real Sociedad is one of the season’s seasoners, but with just one win in the last four games, the Basques have been struggling in recent weeks. Last weekend, visiting Real Madrid, things went wrong again with a 3-1 defeat. Willian Jose initially put the visitors ahead in the Santiago Bernabeu, but a surprise was not received.
Losing at Real Madrid is of course no shame, but trainer Imanol Alguacil must start worrying. Real Sociedad managed to open the score in no less than ten of its fourteen league matches this season, but in four of the last six of those games it did not manage to win that lead. Especially in the forefront and in midfield, the San Sebastian club with players such as Willian Jose, Mikel Oyarzabal and Martin Ødegaard has plenty of quality, but a lack of concentration has regularly cost the blues and whites this season.
Eibar:
Eibar usually has to rely on her home games, although this season bar is not noticeable. Last weekend, the Basques were surprisingly beat off by fellow countryman Alaves, 0-2, which again marked the fourth home defeat in barely seven home games. That is just as much as last year in the entire season.
Eibar will therefore have to compensate the many slips in-house with good results on foreign soil. With only six points from seven away games so far, however, that does not really work, so it is not strange that we find the red-and-blue in a disappointing sixteenth place, with only three points above the Spanish relegation zone. Trainer Jose Luis Mendilibar is still firmly in the saddle in the Ipurua, but his credit is of course not infinite.
