Las Palmas vs Eibar Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

Las Palmas have been described as one of the best footballing sides in Europe in recent weeks and while that may be pushing it a bit, they are certainly a good side to watch and their games normally produce goals. They came back from 3-0 down to draw a 3-3 thriller with Celta Vigo last weekend and had chances to win it at the death. There have been 4 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 fixtures and both teams have scored in 5 of them so this promises to be another entertaining game.

Entertaining neutrals will be low on the agenda of Las Palmas coach Quique Setién though who will be a little concerned that his side hasn’t won any of those last 6 games. That will give Eibar reason to believe they can get a result here and the Basque minnows continue to defy the odds and compete with the big boys in this league. They were shock 2-1 winners against Villarreal last weekend and they’ve also been involved in their fair share of goal fests.

Their two league games prior to that finished in 3-3 and 3-2 scorelines and they aren’t the sort of side to park the bus and play for a draw unless they are up against one of the ‘big three’. The stats here make for very interesting reading and all point to the fact that goals are likely here and not just at one end.

Both teams have scored in 80% of Las Palmas matches this term and 80% of Eibar matches too. The Basques have scored in every game they’ve played but have also conceded at least once in all their away games. There have been over 2.5 goals in 80% of Eibar’s away games and 80% of Las Palmas matches overall. Therefore, there is plenty of reason to back Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score at 11/10 here.
