Mirandes take on the visitors Eibar in the round 32 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Monday, February 20th at Estadio Municipal de Anduva (Miranda de Ebro).
Mirandes managed to reach the semi-finals of the Spanish Cup not so long ago, in 2012 and 2020. Interestingly, both times it coincided with their promotion to Segunda. The first time, the team stayed at this level for five consecutive years and finished in 8th place, which still remains a record for this modest team. After a two-year break, they returned in 2019 with fairly decent results. However, there was a setback to 14th place after finishing 10th-11th in the previous season. The current championship is not particularly better either, as they are still hanging around the bottom of the current table. But recent matches allow for some optimism. They managed to beat Oviedo with a minimal score, and then won a shootout with Sporting in Jijona - 4-3.

Ten years ago, Eibar made a rapid rise to La Liga, passing Segunda in just one year. It was clear that such a newcomer would find it extremely difficult in the elite league. However, they not only managed to stay there but also stretched out for six consecutive seasons. This was primarily due to the coaching talents of Mendilibar - but his ideas had run out by 2021, and his former charges had fallen back into the country's second division. Although the fall was from last place and premature, the team was considered a favorite of last season in Segunda. They were very close to justifying this status - trailing Almeria and Valladolid by just 1 point. But what was the cost of this failure: finishing only 3rd, Eibar went to the play-offs, where they lost to Girona in the 1st round. But now it can be stated that Gaizka Garitano and his team can withstand the pressure. They managed to become even stronger in the new season and top the league table. They had some setbacks, with even 2 consecutive defeats a month ago, but they were followed by a new streak of victories - already 4 of them, and all "clean", 2-0 or 1-0. So, not particularly brightly, but confidently, they are moving towards La Liga - and the next step is desired to be taken on Monday, as the pursuers are close by.
Last season, Mirandes drew both matches with Eibar - and if they had won at least one, the "gunsmiths" would now be playing in La Liga! And in the new season, they failed to take revenge, as it ended with a new "peaceful outcome". It's time for the "gunsmiths" to finally beat the "wild boars", even in their lair. We recommend betting on a victory for the visitors here.
Prediction for the match: Eibar to win.
