Eibar vs Valencia PREVIEW & PREDICTION 07/12/2020

Eibar and Valencia meet in a match in the 12th round of La Liga. The match will be played on Monday, at 20:00, at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua.

Valencia had a series of five matches in a row with over 2.5 goals scored, until the dispute at home with Atletico Madrid. The “bats” lost in that confrontation with the score of 0-1, after the own goal of Antonio Latorre Grueso, from minute 79. At the moment, Valencia occupies only the 15th position in La Liga, with three victories, three draws and five defeats.

Eibar comes after three stages in a row without defeat, having only one failure in the last seven rounds (three victories). Jose Luis Mendilibar’s team scored 13 points in 11 stages, but only three of them were won at home. At the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua, Eibar recorded zero victories, three draws and as many defeats. The situation changes away, where Eibar has the 5th best record in La Liga, with three wins, one draw and one defeat.

Eibar has eight goals scored this season, only one at home. The matches of Valencia are, in general, extremely spectacular, as we expect the one at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua. We bet on at least one goal scored in the first half, but also on at least one point obtained by the away team.
