SD Eibar form and stats

SD Eibar's struggle is real here at Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa with only 4 points collected from 8 La Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-4. SD Eibar are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Celta de Vigo match.

SD Eibar manager J. Mendilibar Etxebarria and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Barcelona (placed 6th) in the La Liga. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Deportivo Alaves (1-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Eibar have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn five and lost two.

The manager J. Mendilibar Etxebarria will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Las Rozas in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Eibar means that they have only scored 2 goals in 8 league home games, less than half a goal per match. It's worth mentioning that 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Eibar have conceded 8 goals.

Granada form and stats

There's been little loot from Granada's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the La Liga. Granada only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

Granada won their last game, 2-1 versus Valencia played at home. Prior to that match, the Granada manager D. Martínez Penas faced defeat when travelling to Real Madrid and losing 0-2.

Granada made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, Domingos Duarte receiving a red card in the 76th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Granada won the match 2-1! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager D. Martínez Penas when Jorge Molina scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 68th minute.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Granada playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Granada wins, six draws and one defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Granada now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Del Rey game at Cultural Leonesa is waiting in only three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Granada as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league. For Granada, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's six Eibar victories, two draws and zero Granada wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
