Eibar take on the visitors Athletic Bilbao at “Ipurua Municipal Stadium” in the round two of the Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, August 27th.
Eibar opened new season’s LaLiga with 1:0 triumph over Malaga on the road. “Armaginak” demonstrate from the very start of the season that they are going to save their positions in the elite division: the club finished the previous one sitting on the 10th place in the table. Eibar have quite humble roster, but thanks to the team play the side regularly gain points.

Athletic Bilbao have conducted already five encounters in the new season. The Basques have gone successfully through the Qualification of the UEFA Europa League, having knocked out Dinamo Bucuresti 1:1, 3:0 and Panathinaikos 3:2, 1:0. Within the UEFA Europa League Group G Athletic Bilbao will face Hertha BSC, FK Zorya Luhansk and Swedish Ostersunds which are rather suitable opponents for the Spaniards. In regard to the LaLiga, the Basques have entered the new season with 0:0 draw against the elite division returnee Getafe. In the new season Athletic Bilbao are once again among the chasers for top-six. The side is unlikely to promote to the UEFA Champions League zone, but it is quite able to get to the leading group.
Athletic Bilbao won last three head-to-heads against Eibar: 5:2, 3:1 and 1:0. The Basques’ weak points is their performance at away grounds, however, bearing in mind the rivals’ head-to-head statistics as well as the visitors’ higher football level, I presume that they will manage to take some points.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
