Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
In the ninth round, Eibar host Eldense at the Municipal de Ipurua Stadium. Both teams have made promising starts to the season and are striving to secure every point to aim for the coveted sixth spot, which offers a chance to compete for promotion to La Liga.
Eibar
At the start of the championship, Eibar were playing exciting football. The team have scored at least once in seven of their eight matches so far, but their overall performance is marred by a lacklustre defence, conceding six goals in their last three matches. The absence of their primary goalkeeper, Jonmi Magunagoitia, significantly impacts their play.
Eldense
The visitors have also entertained their fans with a high-scoring approach, finding the net in seven of their eight opening fixtures. However, they face significant defensive issues, having conceded in six games, along with major discipline problems on the pitch, having picked up three red cards already. Notably, Eldense enter the upcoming match with a full-strength squad, indicating their intent to claim all three points.
Eibar vs Eldense Prediction
The teams have met only twice before, with both encounters seeing goals from either side. Given the current form of the opponents and their similar playing styles, we expect this trend to continue in the upcoming match.
