We have a full round of fixtures to follow in the Spanish Segunda Division this weekend including the meeting between Eibar and Deportivo Alavés.
The game will be played at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa and the hosts begin the weekend in 5th place on 26 points while the visitors are top of the table on 30 points.
Eibar come into the game having defeated Las Rozas 3-0 away from home in the first round of the Copa Del Rey last weekend. It took until the 74th minute for Eibar to open the scoring but they took full control of the match in the final 15 minutes, scoring 2 further goals to progress to the second round.
That win means Eibar are on a run of 5 matches in all competitions without defeat and they have lost only 1 of their 10 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
Form in the Segunda Division shows Eibar are undefeated in their last 4 games, beating Malaga away and Lugo at home plus picking up a point in draws at home with Albacete and away to Las Palmas.
Home form in the league shows Eibar are undefeated in their 7 most recent Segunda Division matches on home soil. They have won 5 of those 7 games and have seen under 2.5 goals in each of their last 3 home league fixtures.
Deportivo Alavés travel to the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa on the back of a 1-0 win at Lleida Esportiu in the first round of the Copa Del Rey. The only goal of the game was scored in the 47th minute and Deportivo Alavés kept a clean sheet for the remainder of the second half to progress.
That result means Deportivo Alavés are undefeated in their 7 most recent games in all competitions.
They have not tasted defeat in any of their last 6 Segunda Division fixtures and have won 3 of their last 5 matches in the league. The victories have come over Real Oviedo and Real Zaragoza at home plus FC Andorra away.
Away form in the Segunda Division shows Deportivo Alavés are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 games. They have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 3 of their last 4 league matches on the road.
Team news and Eibar are without injured defender Jose Antonio Ríos. He is the only player unavailable for the hosts.
Deportivo Alavés make the trip without suspended midfielder Carlos Benavidez. They also have doubts over the fitness of Aleksandar Sedlar and Mamadou Sylla.
This is a tough game to call and both teams have been difficult to beat over the past two months. With that in mind, we expect this match to end level and for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
