Eibar vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 24/04/2021, 13:56  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Bottom placed Eibar have all to play for in their remaining La Liga matches and the first of them is a home match against Real Sociedad who are pushing for a Europa League place. The hosts in this game have so far managed 23 points and Sociedad are fifth with 50 points. A run of 15 winless league matches leaves Eibar as top favorites for relegation even though they are just five points below 17th place. They go to this game having registered just four points from a possible 45 in the last 15 league matches and having lost each of the last four. They’ve also failed to register a goal in three of their last four matches. Playing at home has not offered Eibar much comfort either; they’ve scored just eight goals and conceded 18 in the 15 matches there this season. They have one win in 15 league matches at home and managed to score in five of the last 10 at home.

Real Sociedad have already won a trophy this season – the 2020 Copa Del Rey, which was pushed to this season due to Covid related issues. They went on a three-game winless run after that win but returned to winning ways in their last game, beating Celta Vigo 2-1 in the league. With 18 points to play for, and being 17 points below fourth placed Sevilla, Sociedad’s Champions League dreams rely on Sevilla losing all their remaining games. That’s next to impossible, but Sociedad are in a strong position to vie for a Europa League slot. They need to work on their defence, having failed to keep a clean sheet in the last six matches. Four of Sociedad’s last five league matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have just a win in the last six away league matches.
