Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Deportivo La Coruña find themselves just above the relegation zone, but the recent managerial change and a commanding victory over Cartagena (5:1) have boosted their confidence and showcased their potential. Eibar, sitting 13th in the table, are also in desperate need of points, as the crowded upper half offers a chance to fight for promotion. However, both teams have struggled to score freely, meaning we shouldn't expect a goal-fest in this encounter.
Deportivo La Coruña
Deportivo La Coruña's recent managerial switch resulted in a significant win over a struggling side. Despite this success, they continue to face challenges on their home turf, netting only three times across six home matches. Nonetheless, the productive form of Yeremay Hernández—boasting six goals and two assists—combined with new motivation following the coaching adjustments, could benefit Deportivo's attacking play. Yet, given their general lack of scoring at home, a cautious approach focused on defense is anticipated.
Eibar
Eibar have consistently faced issues on the road, managing just one win in six away fixtures. Moreover, they have suffered three losses and failed to score in their last five outings, with the total under 2.5 goals bet prevailing in these fixtures. Head-to-head meetings with Deportivo La Coruña have similarly delivered low-scoring affairs, with no more than two goals in 7 of the last 10 games, indicating this match may not be a high-scoring affair.
Deportivo La Coruña vs Eibar Prediction
Given the current form of both clubs, the match promises to be restrained, with a minimal number of goals. Deportivo's recent victory has reinvigorated them, but their inconsistent home scoring and Eibar's poor away form suggest a low-scoring encounter.
