Eibar started the season very well, but lost their good condition and got only 2 points in the last five games. However, they played against big clubs like Real Madrid, Valencia and Villarreal and against teams in excellent form, such as Deportivo and Real Sociedad. A wave of injuries is also behind for Eibar. They got 12 out of 24 points at home, scoring 9 and conceding 8.
Sporting Gijon are not very good this season. They got only 15 points in 15 games and are just one point from relegation zone. They will also miss defender Roberto Canella and midfielder Sergio Alvarez due to injuries, while the team’s best player – striker Bernardo Espinosa – and defender Luis Hernandez are disqualified. Striker Antonio Sanabria is also under question. Sporting got only 7 points from 24 in away games.
Conclusion: Eibar have got better players in all lines. Sporting’s problems with their roster are also likely to help the home team. That’s why you should bet on Eibar’s win.
