Alaves and Eibar set for draw in basement battle in la Liga

Deportivo Alavés vs SD Eibar - 07/02/2020

06/02/20 2820

Alaves and Eibar are two teams just above the relegation zone in La Liga. The pair meets on Friday night at the Estadio de Mendizorroza.

Both teams are locked on 24 points, 16 points above the relegation zone in the Spanish top-flight. In fact, their goal difference is also the same, with Alaves only ahead of the visitors courtesy of a superior head-to-head record.

A very creditable 1-1 draw at Sevilla last time out in La Liga means that Asier Garitano’s team has won just once in their last nine outings in the Spanish top-flight. The home side has struggled to keep the opposition out of late in La Liga, as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine league outings.

Alaves recent home results have been underwhelming, as they have won just once in their last six matches on home soil in the Spanish top-flight, having failed to win in their last four league matches at the Estadio de Mendizorroza.

Those aforementioned defensive problems have been on display of late in La Liga, with just one clean sheet in their last six games on home soil.

Eibar head into this game on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in La Liga after a 1-1 draw with Real Betis last time out. The draw also means that the visitors have lost just once in their last six matches in La Liga.

Jose Mendilibar’s team have been involved in a number of low scoring league games in the Spanish top-flight of late, as six of their last seven matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Eibar are not great travellers, illustrated by the fact that the visitors have failed to win any of their last four away matches in the Spanish top-flight.

There is very little between these two teams. Therefore, it is no surprise that Forebet predicts that this clash will finish in a low-scoring draw.
