Eibar vs Alcorcon Predictions

• Alcorcon have lost 6 of their 7 away games, while Eibar have won 5 of 7 at home.
• Eibar have only conceded 1 goal in their last 6, which came when reduced to 10 men in a 2-1 win over Cartagena.
• Alcorcon have the league’s joint-worst attack, scoring 12 goals in 15 games.

Rock-Bottom Alcorcon Face Uphill Task

Alcorcon are rock-bottom of Spain’s Segunda Division, with 11 losses in 15 games. The Madrid-based side currently possess the league’s joint-worst attack, scoring just 12 goals in 15 games, and by far its most porous defence, having already conceded 31. Things aren’t expected to get much easier for them this Saturday evening, as they travel to promotion-chasing Eibar.

Solid Eibar to Maintain Defensive Record

Eibar, relegated in last place from La Liga last season, sit second in the table after a strong start to the campaign, and occupy one of the automatic promotion spots. This is despite the Gunsmiths boasting a rather average goal difference of just +4, suggesting a capacity to edge close encounters and grind out results.

Indeed, the hosts’ defensive record has been superb in recent weeks; their only concession in their last 6 matches came when they were reduced to 10 men against Cartagena, in a game they still won 2-1. Even when relegated from the top flight last term, Eibar conceded fewer goals than Valencia, and only 2 more than Europa League qualifiers and sixth-placed finishers Real Betis.

Eibar should therefore be expected to maintain their strong start with a win and a clean sheet against their beleaguered visitors, with a comfortable 2-0 victory for the home side appearing a strong prediction.
