Eibar vs Granada Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

Eibar come on the back of a second consecutive league victory courtesy of a 4-0 win over Valencia. José Luis Mendilibar’s team took full advantage of Valencia going down to 10 men after a straight red card for Carlos Soler. A brace from Sergi Enrich coupled with goals from Dani Garcia and Adrian sealed a brilliant win for Eibar. Granada managed only a second league win of the season after a narrow 1-0 success over Las Palmas. Andreas Pereira’s goal in the 17^th minute was enough to secure a win, which moved Granada off the bottom.

Eibar’s decent run of form – three wins in the last five – has helped the team close the gap on Villarreal to just three points. Pushing for the top six can be a huge motivating factor considering that Europa League football is on offer. Eibar’s home form may have suffered with the defeats against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, but they would have been expecting such results in the first place. The team has managed to overcome opponents like Deportivo La Coruna and Real Betis, who may have been regarded as tricky opposition.

The win over Las Palmas may have lifted Granada off the bottom of the table, but they still remain some distance away from safety. The team are five points behind Leganes occupying the final spot outside the relegation zone. If the club are to avoid relegation, home form will be the defining factor. Lucas Alcaraz has focused heavily on making Granada tough to beat at home. The team has suffered just one defeat in the last five home matches. In contrast, they have suffered four defeats in the last five away matches.

Alejandro Galvez (hamstring), David Junca (sprained ankle), and Asier Riesgo (sprained knee) are the players to miss out. Antonio Luna remains doubtful after having recovered sufficiently from the hamstring problem.

Ruben Vezo’s participation is being monitored as the player is suffering from a virus.

Granada are yet to beat Eibar in La Liga history, despite the clubs having met each other only five times. Eibar have managed to win the last three meetings against Granada by an aggregate score of 10-3. Mendilibar’s team can only be heading for a fourth consecutive win over Granada, who have an extremely poor away record. Even though Eibar may have managed just one win in the last four home matches, they have dealt with struggling teams sufficiently well. I expect Eibar to secure a third consecutive league win.

Sergi Enrich has been in sensational form of late. He has scored four goals and created two in the last three games. His record against Granada is quite good with three goals in as many games, while he has never lost against Granada. I see a lot of value in backing Enrich to score anytime.

Eibar to win – 11/20

Sergi Enrich to score anytime – 6/4
