Eibar vs Granada Betting Tips

Eibar are still going from strength to strength and come into this game having won 3 matches in a row in the top flight for the first time in the same season. Home wins against Sporting Gijon and Espanyol either side of a thumping 4-0 win at Real Betis have propelled them into the top six which would be good enough for European football next season which clearly would be an incredible achievement for the tiny Basque club.

They won’t have been too concerned by their 6-4 aggregate exit against Las Palmas in the Copa del Rey and they rested numerous players for both legs so should be fresh and raring to go here.

Granada are just 1 place and 2 points outside the relegation zone and it’s hard to see them not being again involved in the scrap to stay up come May. They’ve lost 5 of their last 6 matches in all competitions and like their opponents also exited the Copa del Rey in midweek after a 7-0 aggregate loss to Valencia. They were also much changed for the games and will probably be grateful of the chance to focus on La Liga survival now.

They’ve conceded 4 goals in all of their last 3 away games though and backing in-form Eibar to win this at 3/4 looks like the smart move here as they have netted twice or more in all of their last 5 matches.

Granada have the second worst defensive record in the league and were beaten 3-1 at home by Eibar back in August. They’ll be confident of completing the double here and can be backed to do that with a 2-0 win at 6/1.
