It is no secret to anyone that the process of the match is fought in the midfield, since the two teams prioritize intensity above all else. For this reason and knowing that the “pepineros” are difficult to beat in their stadium, we believe that the draw is a valid option to bet. Remember that the Basques know how to stop visiting, beyond the irregularity of their results in this condition. Paint for both sets are neutralised for much of the 90 minutes of play. Of course, despite this, they have what it takes to recover from a hypothetical initial disadvantage.
Leganés :
The box “pepinero” does not come well to this duel after losing 3-1 to Barcelona last weekend. These days, he has 22 points in the table, not being able to get away from the direct descent zone. The team is combative and complicated to overcome, but needs to take a positive streak of 2 or more victories that allow you to breathe easy with the theme of permanence. He has completed 17 goals and has given 21 against, proving to be a roughly eleven by nature. On this occasion, the incumbents are expected to risk at times, as they will clash with an intense but “winnable” rival due to the spaces they usually leave when they score.
As a local, Leganés has added acceptable results to a certain point, product of 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 total fall. He has converted 10 goals and has yielded 7 in his goal, standing out for being a rough and tactical eleven between the lines. It comes from equalizing 1-1 with Atlético de Madrid, defeating Alaves 1-0, drawing 1-1 with Getafe, equaling 1-1 with Sevilla and beating Huesca 1-0. Apparently, the box “pepinero” has added adjusted results in all these games, standing out for having problems to score. Of course, it is characterized by marking very well and by correctly performing collective transitions (defense-attack and attack-defense). An additional detail is that it knows how to take advantage of the small size of the Butarque field.
Eibar :
The Basque side visited Espanyol on Monday and won 3-0 in a clear and forceful way. He currently has 25 points in the general table, managing to cut a streak of several matches without winning. Now his goal is to continue adding points that strengthen his collective proposal and allow him to get away as far as possible from the direct descent. He has made 24 goals and has given 28 on his fence, showing problems of cohesion between lines. He needs to improve in defense, yes or yes, since otherwise he will end up in the middle of the table or committed to the loss.
As a visitor, Eibar has registered not very encouraging markers, after winning 1 match, leveling another 3 and losing the remaining 5 that he played in this condition. He has scored 5 goals and has yielded 15 in his goal, standing out for being unbalanced between the lines. It comes from losing 4-0 to Celta, equaling 0-0 with Valladolid, losing 1-0 to Rayo Vallecano, drawing 1-1 with Betis and losing 3-0 to Barcelona. If we analyze these duels, we can affirm that the team does not have a pattern of results in their outings. However, he always proposes in attack, leaving spaces when marking. He needs to improve his attack efficiency if he wants to improve his numbers away from Ipurúa.
In the last 2 and a half years, Leganés and Eibar have met twice in Butarque. These were the results of those matches: Draw 1-1 in December 2016 and victory 0-1 Eibar in February 2018. Apparently, the two times that both teams have faced officially, the processing of the game has been tactical and closed. Considering this, we believe that the pattern will be repeated once again, and it is likely that another tie will be made.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.64
