Venue: Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa (7083 seats)

Season ticket holders at Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa haven’t seen too many victories this season, with SD Eibar languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Villarreal will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • SD Eibar have the fewest scored goals (20) in La Liga
  • Villarreal have scored at least twice as many goals away as SD Eibar have scored home.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa League game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Dynamo Kyiv. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

SD Eibar form and stats

SD Eibar's struggle is real here at Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa with only 9 points collected from 13 La Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-6-6. Eibar have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

No payout for Eibar in their previous match, an away game at Cadiz that ended in defeat 0-1. Before that, SD Eibar drew at home versus Huesca.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Marko Dmitrović for missing a penalty kick versus Cadiz in the 57th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Eibar have scored 7 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. Eibar have conceded 14 in these home matches.

Villarreal form and stats

Playing away, Villarreal have won 3 games, drawn 7 and suffered 3 defeats in the La Liga this season.

A 1-2 defeat away at Valencia before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Villarreal are hosting Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League only four days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Villarreal have scored 16 goals in 13 league games away. As opposed to that, Villarreal have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.

The dueling parties have met before this season: Villarreal - Eibar 2-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Eibar won four games, one match ended with a draw and Villarreal has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three
