Eibar hosts Lugo in round 33 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, March 26th at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua (Eibar)
Before this season, Eibar played in the top division for quite a long time. There were no great achievements, but the Gunsmiths managed to stay in the elite mainly thanks to the efforts of Mendilibar. Everything fell apart last season when the club finished in last place. As usual, the task is clear: to return as quickly as possible. To do this, the bosses of Eibar invited Gaizka Garitano. By the way, at one time he played a lot for this club, and it was there that he took his first steps as a coach. So far, the Gunsmiths are heading the standings. There are many victories, and the game is quite good. But there are still a dozen matches ahead, and the gap is not such that the team can feel calm. In the last round, Eibar tied against Ponferradina. But it’s worth noting that the Gunsmiths won back a 2-goal margin. Moreover, taking into account the defeat of Valladolid, the gap from third place only increased.

Lugo does not belong to strong teams. A decade and a half ago, it did play in the 4th division of the country. In 2012, the White and Reds gained promotion to the Segunda. But they did not take a place higher than 9th, and in recent years they even finished outside the top ten. The 2020/2021 season brought only 18th place. Against this background, now Lugo has stepped up a little. Yes, Ruben Albes’s men do not claim some great achievements, but still there is some progress. At the same time, they win more often than lose. And more than half of all matches ended in draws. Yes, such results are not enough to qualify even for sixth place (and the continuation of the struggle in the playoffs). But on the other hand, we can already say that Lugo won’t be relegated, as the gap from the danger zone is ten points. After a draw against Real Oviedo, the White and Reds have 42 points.
In total, these clubs played nine head-to-head matches, and the home side never lost. Lugo and Eibar won two times each, and the rest of the games ended in draws. Last November, the teams shared points in the first match after a long pause (2-2). Now bookmakers are waiting for the victory of the hosts. Eibar is much stronger, and the opponents don’t have proper motivation. Therefore, we bet on the Gunsmiths to win.
Prediction for the match: Eibar to win
