Almeria’s once commanding lead at the top of La Liga 2 has been whittled away to just three points. Eibar are breathing down Almeria’s necks going into a Monday night clash that could see the Gunsmiths go top of the La Liga 2 table.
Eibar are unbeaten in four straight games in La Liga 2, while Almeria are winless in three straight games in the division. Almeria lost two of those three games. Five of Almeria’s last six games in the division finished without victories.
Almeria should be afraid of losing their La Liga 2 lead this weekend. Eibar claimed a 1-0 win when these teams met earlier in the campaign. Stoichkov scored in the 39th minute and the goal held up for the victory.
Eibar have taken 17 points from 36 possible this season in La Liga 2. The Gunsmiths have been outscored on the road 14-13, however.
Almeria have picked up 26 points from 33 points possible at home this season. The team is +16 in goals at home with 20 for and six against.
Four players could be missing for Almeria this weekend. Forward Dyego Sousa is a doubt due to physical discomfort. Juan Villar Vazquez, Jose Carlos Lazo, and Daniel Carrico are all doubts to make the team.
Eibar have just one player on the injury list going into the game. Franchu is a doubt due to a ligament injury.
The Gunsmiths are in good form ahead of this game. They took 11 points from the last 18 available. Almeria, on the other hand, took a mere six points from the last 18 available to them.
Almeria have scored La Liga 2’s most goals with 39. Eibar are not far behind, however. The Gunsmiths have bagged 35 goals in the division. Almeria have conceded the fewest goals in the league with 17. Five of those 17 goals were allowed across Almeria’s last six La Liga 2 games.
Eibar are unbeaten in 19 of their last 21 La Liga 2 matches. In addition, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of Eibar's last seven La Liga 2 away games.
The Gunsmiths took all three points at Almeria earlier this season. This time around, Eibar won’t get all three points, but they will pick up a score draw.
Almeria’s failing form is a worry. On Monday night, Eibar will pick up a draw as Almeria potentially lose their grip on first place.
