Eibar vs Mallorca — Tips & Analysis

Eibar +0: Eibar do not do quiet nights, and that is the case for this pick. They have won 10 of their last 15 games and have not tied once in that run. At Ipurua they have won four and lost two, scoring 2 goals a game there. Eibar sit second, and most teams who come to visit get beaten. Mallorca are a different side away from home. They have scored four goals in eight away games, with 0-0s at Girona and Eldense and a 0-2 at Granada. They are hard to beat and let in less than a goal a game overall. They bring almost nothing forward on the road, though, and they are missing Salas, Morlanes and Roca. Expect Mallorca to sit deep and make Eibar work for an opening. A 1-0 Eibar win fits both sides, and a home win of any size lands this pick. The warnings are real. Eibar lost 1-3 at Oviedo last time out and let in more than a goal a game at Ipurua, so they can be got at. Mallorca have also won the last three meetings between these two, though those came in the top flight a few years ago. We still want Eibar, because they win or lose rather than tie, and Mallorca have shown nothing away from home.
