Keenly contested derby anticipated

Basque neighbours Eibar and Athletic Club lock horns at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa on Friday evening, where three points alongside bragging rights are on offer for the triumphant team.

Eibar have been a little slow out of the blocks in 2020/21 so far, following up a drab 0-0 draw at home to Celta Vigo with a 2-1 loss at Valencia, but having held Athletic Club in each of their last two meetings with their local antagonists on home soil, Los Armeros will be confident that they can repeat the trick on Friday.

Los Leones meanwhile, haven’t played a competitive fixture in close to two weeks, and their opening day 2-0 defeat to Granada on Sept 12, remains the club’s only action in 2020/21 so far.

Athletic Club drew 2-2 with Eibar when they last visited Gipuzkoa in June, and that was the third time in five meetings with their local rivals where both teams found the net.

Both clubs also registered when Eibar and Athletic Club faced off for a friendly encounter earlier this month, and with his fixture’s record considered, the same BTTS market looks the outstanding choice again, while our correct score prediction forecasts another draw, this time at 1-1.

The clubs shared the spoils in each of their last two skirmishes at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa, and with both clubs looking light on attacking threat in the opening throes of the new season, a low scoring draw looks a likely outcome.
