Eibar take on the visitors Athletic Bilbao at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua in the 9th tour of the Primera Division. The match will be played in the eponymous city Eibar on Sunday, October 21st.
Eibar have been showing bright and unexpected performances so far this Primera Division season. They have been able to get positive results against the top tier Spanish football teams. For example, the Armaginak have been able to draw against Atletico Madrid on the away field recently. However, they have also been looking weak against middle teams or even outsiders in the league. The team of Jose Luis Mendilibar has even lost to the newcomer in the Primera Division Huescsa with a 1-2 score in front of their home crowd. They have been extremely great in their offense despite of them being unstable lately. Interestingly, Los Armeros have scored zero goals in only two out of their eight fixtures in the Primera Division this season. They have already scored against Girona (three goals), against Sevilla, against Leganes and against Real Sociedad (two goals) this season. In their last three matches Eibar beat Leganes with a 3-2 score in a friendly fixture, Girona with the same 3-2 score and lost to Sevilla with a 1-3 score.

Athletic Bilbao have been looking great so far this Primera Division this season as well as Eibar. For example, they have showed an incredible performance against Barcelona recently and have almost beaten them on the away field. Also, Los Leones have drawn against Real Madrid with a 1-1 score this season in front of their home crowd. However, they have also lost to Real Sociedad with a 1-3 score and have drawn against Real Betis recently even though those teams have not been that strong. In their last three matches Athletic Bilbao lost to Real Sociedad with a 1-3 score, drew against Barcelona with a 1-1 score and lost to Villarreal with a 0-3 score.
The upcoming fixture is likely to be a very exciting one. Interestingly, both teams are from Basque Country so the match is basically a derby between them. It is likely that both the Armaginak and Los Leones will score in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
