Eibar vs Las Palmas Betting Tips and Predictions

Both sides have lost 4 of their last 5 games so neither come into it in great form but there have been positives to take out of recent matches for both clubs. Las Palmas have had some tough games and were only narrowly beaten 2-1 at home by Barcelona last time out. They will stay in the bottom three regardless of the result here but would move level with Sporting Gijon in 17th if they can win the game. That though will be a tough ask given they are yet to win on the road in the league this year and haven’t won an away game in the top flight since December 2001 at Tenerife.

Eibar have already all but achieved their target for the season by reaching 36 points with 13 games to go and they are certain to be back in La Liga again next year. They were 2-0 winners at home to Levante in their last home game but a 3-2 defeat at Celta Vigo last time out saw them drop to 7th place, which is still almost certain to be good enough for a place in Europe next term.

Reason for Betting Tips

These clubs met in an entertaining Copa del Rey tie last month. Las Palmas won both legs 3-2 and although the personnel on display is likely to be quite different here, goals seem likely again. There have been over 2.5 goals in 9 of the last 10 matches involving Eibar and despite struggling on the road, Las Palmas have scored at least once in 67% of their away games this season. Therefore backing there to be over 2.5 goals at 21/20 is surely a good move here.
