Eibar will host Eldense at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 LaLiga 2 campaign. The home side enjoyed a positive start to their league campaign but have hit a rough patch in recent games and now sit ninth in the table with 12 points from eight matches.
They were beaten 3-1 by Sporting Gijon in their last match, with Jon Bautista's early opener ultimately counting for naught as their opponents came from behind to secure maximum points in an end-to-end outing at Ipurua.
Meanwhile, Eldense have had mixed results in the league this season, although they remained hopeful of once again avoiding the drop. They were beaten 3-2 by Castellon last time out, coming from behind to take the lead midway through the first half before falling behind once again later in the half.
The visitors now sit in mid-table in 11th place. They are just one point behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Saturday.
Eibar vs Eldense Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Saturday's game will mark just the third meeting between the two teams, with both sides winning a game apiece in their previous two matchups.
- The visitors are without a clean sheet in their last four matches.
- Two of Eibar's three league wins this season have come on home turf.
- Eldense have conceded 11 goals in the Segunda Division this season, the highest of any team in the top half of the pile.
- Defeat on Saturday will see Armagiñak suffer three consecutive league losses for the first time since last September.
Eibar vs Eldense Prediction
Eibar are on a run of back-to-back defeats after going undefeated in their previous six competitive outings. They have, however, lost just two of their last 11 matches at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium and will head into the weekend clash as favorites.
Eldense's latest result ended a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings and they will be looking to bounce back here. However, they have won just one of their three away games this season and could see defeat here.
Prediction: Eibar 2-1 Eldense
