Eibar vs Girona tips and predictions

Fortitude to be key for Eibar

There's 8 points separating the two sides as second place Eibar get set to host tenth place Girona.

It looks like this will be a fairly even contest and there are arguments to be made for all outcomes. The pick is to get with the home team but this could sound stupid come the full-time whistle. There's just not enough value in the Girona price.

The hosts start the match having looked polished in their home games. They've won 6 in a row.

Los Armeros have scored at least once in all of their recent 7 home matches and that's been backed up throughout their ranks. The records show they have conceded no more than once in 12 of their last 13 home games.

There have been performances where Girona have lost their shape and they have lacked a solid platform near the 18-yard line. They have conceded at least once in 9 of their last 10 matches. So this match will be a decent test of their bouncebackability.

Historically the visitors have not fared at all well in this match-up. Eibar have won all of the last 4 fixtures between the two sides. Maybe the form book can go out the window, but the head-to-head stats favour another home win.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the quickest out of the blocks. Each of the two sides has reasons for confidence and it could be a match with scoring chances at both ends. It might not be a popular opinion but the Yes BTTS bet is a speculative side bet for this particular game.
