Eibar vs Leganes Predictions

• Eibar are unbeaten in their last five league games against Leganes.
• Leganes have only won one of their last six league matches.
• Eibar have won seven and drawn two of their 17 home games.
• Leganes have lost nine and drawn six of their 17 away games.

Eibar have a great recent record against Leganes

Eibar narrowly lost 1-0 away at high-flying Sevilla on Monday night and sit 6pts above the relegation zone heading into Thursday’s clash with Leganes. The visitors won 1-0 away at bottom of the table Espanyol on Sunday but remain in the relegation places and even a win wouldn’t lift Leganes out of the bottom three this week.

When these two sides met for their reverse league fixture in November, hosts Leganes took the lead through En-Nesyri but ended up losing the match 2-1 after Charles equalised in the first-half and Kike netted the winner for Eibar with six minutes left on the clock. With two wins, two draws and two defeats from their last six league games, Eibar head into Thursday’s clash as the form favourites, due to Leganes losing three, drawing two and only winning once of their last six outings.

Leganes have struggled on the road this season

Our prediction for a double chance bet on Eibar this week is backed by plenty of statistics. Eibar have secured four wins and a draw from their last five competitive matches against Leganes and play their best football at home. The hosts have won seven and drawn two of their 17 home games this season while Leganes have struggled for wins on the road, losing nine and drawing six of their 17 away trips.

Eibar have only failed to pick up points in two fo their last six league games while Leganes have dropped points in five of their last six outings, so you can see just why we’ve backed the hosts with a double chance bet this Thursday. In terms of a final scoreline, we’re predicting a 1-0 win for Eibar as we are expecting a very tight and tense 90-minutes in this relegation 6-pointer.

Three of Eibar’s last five wins against Leganes in all competitions have been via a single goal to nil and under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the hosts’ and four of the visitors’ last six league games. Eibar score an average of 1.29 goals per home game while Leagues only score an average of 0.65 goals per away game, which fits in well with our prediction for a narrow 1-0 home win on Thursday.
