A dismal 4-match spell without a win in the Spanish top flight for Eibar was brought to an end in last weekend’s emphatic 3-0 home win against Levante, and the hosts will no doubt be keen to replicate that result when fellow strugglers Mallorca come to town on Saturday.
Back-to-back draws with Celta Vigo and Real Betis were followed by two defeats on the trot to Deportivo Alaves and a crushing 5-0 loss to Barcelona, but Eibar bounced back in style with the victory over Levante which will give them hope for this clash on Saturday at their Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa.
Despite occupying a lowly position in the lower reaches of La Liga in 16th place, Eibar’s recent results at home will have given them cause for optimism in their bid to avoid relegation as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 4 matches at home, winning 3 of these last 4.
Wins against Granada, Atletico Madrid and Levante will serve as a timely boost ahead ahead of this crucial clash against Mallorca who have struggled on the road all season.
Onto Mallorca then, and the visitors find themselves in the bottom three of La Liga and three points adrift of Celta Vigo and the safety of fourth from bottom in the Spanish top flight after having picked up just 1 win out of their last 6 matches overall.
That win came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Deportivo Alaves, but 4 defeats within these last 6 matches have prevented Mallorca from lifting themselves out of the relegation zone.
Recent defeats to Real Sociedad, Real Valladolid, Espanyol and Getafe have meant that Mallorca are still firmly ensconced in the relegation zone, and they face a tough trip to Eibar this Saturday too.
Top Trends
Real Mallorca have won just 4 of their last 31 away matches in all competitions
SD Eibar have won by 2 or more goals 3 of their last 5 home league games
Real Mallorca have lost by 2+ goals in 8 of their last 16 away all competitions games
A goalless run for Real Mallorca consisting of 6 of their 9 most recent games marks their La Liga campaign
Of course, Mallorca’s poor results away from home throughout this La Liga campaign haven’t helped either as the visitors are one of only two teams in the Spanish top flight yet to record a win on the road this term, along with second from bottom outfit, Leganes.
Mallorca’s 12 away matches have yielded just 2 points for the away side thanks to 2 draws but it’s the 10 defeats on their travels that have done the damage for Mallorca, and further punishment could be in store at Eibar this Saturday.
