MATCH PREVIEW
Eibar will attempt to bounce back after an exhausting week of results; a 4-0 league loss to Celta Vigo at home was followed by a 2-0 defeat in the Copa del Rey to Sporting Gijón. A 3-2 win over Girona on matchday eight, however, has spared the Basque side a five-game winless run. |
‘Los Armeros’ have been uncharacteristically unpredictable at home this season, and manager José Luis Mendilibar will want to shake off a slew of results that have seen Eibar score just six home goals while conceding seven (W2, D1, L2). |
Currently on a three-game LL winning streak, which included dispatching Real Madrid in a tight 1-0 encounter, Alavés continue to challenge Barcelona for the top-spot. With three conservative 1-0 wins this season, two of which came on the road, Alavés’ are proving no pushovers away from the Mendizorrotza. |
Visiting boss Abelardo will be wary of his opposing manager however, with a 1-0 H2H away win in their last matchup stopping a potential four-game losing streak against Mendilibar (W2, L4). |
In 22 previous H2H matches, Eibar have the edge over their visitors with 12 wins (W12, D3, L7) – but since 2004, Alavés have four victories at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua, with their last win breaking a five-game winless streak. |
Players to watch: Experienced striker Charles has three goals, and scored a header against Alavés in 2017/18 – but was dismissed 15 minutes later. |
Jonathan Calleri also has three goals this term, and scored the equaliser in Alavés’ 2-1 victory over Villarreal last time out. |
Stat attack: Just four (ALA) and five (EIB) of these teams’ last 11 games (in all competitions) have seen goals in both halves. |
This calendar year, Eibar have registered just four home clean sheets in the league (W5, D3, L7). |
Combining the last five LL rounds, Eibar have the joint-highest number of goals conceded (11). |
