Real Sociedad vs Eibar Predictions

• Eibar’s last seven La Liga games have all produced less than 2.5 goals.
• Seven of Real Sociedad’s last eight fixtures in all competitions have also generated fewer than 2.5 goals.
• Sociedad have drawn their last five outings in all competitions, while Eibar have lost just one of their last eight starts (W3, D4).

Sociedad Face a Scrap Against Basque Rivals

After five straight draws in all competitions, punters are advised to swerve a wager on Real Sociedad this weekend when they take on an Eibar side who have lost just one of their last eight La Liga matches (W3, D4).

Sociedad’s draw away to Napoli in midweek was a fine result as it secured their passage to the Last 32 of the Europa League, but their overall lack of wins lately should definitely be taken into consideration ahead of this Sunday’s clash at Reale Arena.

While a point at home to in-form Villarreal and a 0-0 stalemate away to AZ Alkmaar can be filed as respectable, Sociedad have also failed to beat Alaves (0-0) and HNK Rijeka (2-2) in recent weeks and on that basis the hosts look too short in the betting for this one at around 8/13.

Eibar’s aforementioned recent form and away record this term are also factored into calculations, as Los Armeros go into this clash having amassed ten points from five games on the road this term.

However, the visitors don’t hold strong enough claims to warrant backing either and that’s why we’re tipping up under 2.5 goals, which has been the outcome in Eibar’s last seven outings and in all but one of Sociedad’s last eight starts.

Both sides have played out two 0-0 stalemates in their last five games and correct score punters should definitely take a small interest in the same score-line here with a closely fought battle anticipated between these two Basque rivals.
