Eibar
- With 32 games gone, Eibar are currently sitting in eighth place in LaLiga 2, one point ahead of Sunday’s opponents AD Ceuta FC in ninth.
- Benat San Jose took charge of Eibar in February 2025 and has had a huge impact on the club, instilling a high-pressing, high-tempo system on his players who control the ball and play vertical soccer from a 4-2-3-1 formation.
- He has been incredibly successful in his short time at the club, winning four and drawing one of their last five matches, including a 3-1 victory over Las Palmas in their last home game.
- Eibar is in fine form at the moment and are unbeaten in three at Ipurua, winning two.
AD Ceuta FC
- AD Ceuta FC are a pragmatic, compact unit who have a preference for playing with intensity and punching on the counter rather than controlling the game with the ball.
- Romero has his team well drilled, and while they don’t score many, they have been solid enough to ensure they are hovering in the top half of the table.
- AD Ceuta FC has won just three of their 16 away LaLiga 2 games, losing nine.
- AD Ceuta FC has scored just 16 goals in 16 LaLiga 2 away games.
Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head between the two teams was five months ago when Ceuta nicked a 1-0 victory at home in the league.
Key Players
- Javier Marton leads the line for Eibar with ten goals in 29 league games and has scored three of their last eight.
- Marcos Fernandez is the danger man for Ceuta with 11 in 26 and he’s found the net four times in their last five.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have Eibar at 1.83 for the home win and the hosts deserve to be such strong favourites.
- Eibar's home LaLiga 2 record stands at 11 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from 17 matches.
Prediction
I’m backing Eibar to win and continue their momentum as they continue to build their new identity while reasserting their dominance over their local rivals, AD Ceuta FC .
