Eibar hosts Real Sociedad B in round 22 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Friday, December 31st at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua (Eibar)
Eibar gained promotion to the Spanish top division in 2014. And even if not often showing a good game, the club managed to stay there. Since 2015, Jose Luis Mendilibar has always been in the head coach's chair. However, the Gunsmiths went to Segunda from the last place in the previous season. Now Gaizka Garitano is working with Eibar, and it was he who brought this team to the elite six years ago. So far, the results are not bad: 11 victories and 39 points scored in 21 matches. Only Almeria has more, but it looks very stable. However, Eibar earned only four points in the last three rounds (a 1-0 defeat to Zaragoza, a 2-2 draw with Malaga, and a 0-1 win on the pitch of Las Palmas). Such results allowed competitors to get closer, but the Gunsmiths are ranked second so far.

Real Sociedad B has no special tournament tasks. It is a classic reserve team. And it does not need to set high goals, as the priority is to bring up cool players for the first team. At one time, Xabi Alonso and Antoine Griezmann got the experience of the first games here, and this list can be extended. By the way, Xabi is back in San Sebastian. He worked with Real Madrid U-14 and then headed the 2nd team of Real Sociedad. And it was the 40-year-old specialist who raised his charges to the Segunda according to the results of the last season. At the new level, Real Sociedad B cannot boast of great achievements: only four victories and 17 points, and, as a result, the penultimate place. Eight of the last nine matches, including all previous five, ended in defeats. And the Basques couldn’t even score in four of them.
Real Sociedad B won only one out of nine head-to-head matches that were held between the clubs. In September, Eibar once again confirmed that it is much stronger than this opponent. The Gunsmiths won away thanks to Stoichkov's brace (2-3). Real Sociedad B is weak at the moment, and Eibar is not bad and will play on the home pitch. We recommend betting on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Eibar to win
