SD Eibar form and stats

SD Eibar have performed here at Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa this season with 11 wins from 20 La Liga 2 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 7 games and lost 2.

SD Eibar are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 210 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Bautista).

No payout for SD Eibar in their previous match, an away game at Racing Santander that ended in defeat 0-1. Midfielder Esnal was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.45 (out of ten) in that game. Esnal hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 46 successful passes (of 54 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Las Palmas (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how SD Eibar have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won 12 times, drawn 6 and lost 0.

Trouble hitting the net? Looking at this club's last 13 league matches, 11 have had zero, one or two goals.

The Eibar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 22 in 20 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, SD Eibar have conceded only 11 goals.

Sporting Gijón form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sporting Gijón so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 3-7-10 (win-draw-lose). Gijón has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There were no winners in Sporting Gijón's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Real Oviedo (placed 8th). Midfield player Varane was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.45/10. Varane hit one key pass.

A 0-2 defeat away at Villarreal II before that.

Gijón are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.

Few goals the story here? 19 of this club's latest 24 league rounds have seen two or less goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sporting Gijón as they have only managed to score 13 times from 20 away games in the league. Gijón have conceded 24 goals in these away matches.
