This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Athletic Club form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at San Mames as Athletic Club have scored 13 goals to get 19 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the La Liga are 6-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at San Mames after three straight home wins.
In their previous game, the manager Gaizka Garitano led his Athletic Club to a defeat in the La Liga match away at Real Betis. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at San Mames. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Granada in a game that was won 2-0.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Athletic Club's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won 1 match, drawn 3 and lost 2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Athletic Club as they are travelling to their away game against Intercity in the Copa Del Rey. That match is three days after this one.
Athletic Club have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at San Mames with 13 goals in 8 league matches. Athletic Club have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals.
SD Eibar form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for SD Eibar so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose). With the SD Eibar losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
SD Eibar failed to get anything from their last game, a La Liga home match vs Getafe (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Prior to that match, the SD Eibar manager Mendilibar faced defeat when travelling to Real Sociedad and losing 1-4.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of SD Eibar when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the SD Eibar manager Mendilibar as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against SD Logrones.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as SD Eibar have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
