At the moment Eibar are battling for a promotion to the UEFA Europa League for the next season, sitting now on the eighth place in the LaLiga table. “Armaginak” picked up 28 points alongside with eight wins and eight failures in 20 matches played. The club’s offense demonstrates weak performance, having scored just 25 goals while its defense could also look better as it has conceded 32 goals already. In the recent away clashes Eibar have beaten Las Palmas 2:1, earned 0:0 draw against Getafe, but lost 0:1 to Celta Vigo within the Copa del Rey.
Last time Eibar upset the Basques in 2015 and since then all the head-to-heads between the rivals ended in Athletic Bilbao’s favour, including 1:0 victory in this season’s LaLiga. The Basques are also considered to be the favourites of the upcoming game as they always stay tough in face of their fan and regularly collect points at the home pitch.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win.
