Eibar

vs

Burgos CF

Preview

Eibar (home)

• Eibar have won three, drawn one and lost just one of their last five matches.
• 10th-placed Eibar are on 41 points after 29 games while Burgos CF, three positions above them, have 46 points.
• Beñat San José was appointed as Eibar’s head coach in February 2025 and since then has introduced a more intense, pressing style of soccer.
• His team have won ten, drawn three and lost just two of their 15 home games in the league this term, making Ipurua a tough place to go this season.
• The Gunners average 1.67 goals per game in home league matches this season, scoring 25 times in 15 games.

Burgos CF (away)

• Burgos CF have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five fixtures.
• Burgos, by contrast, have won six, drawn two and lost six of their 14 away games, conceding 16 goals in 14 away games, averaging 1.14 goals against per away match.
• Luis Ramis has turned Burgos into a compact, disciplined unit since taking over as head coach in October 2024.
• They aim to sit deep, be tough to break down, but play with purpose on the counter and from set pieces.

Head-to-Head

• Burgos have a head-to-head edge over Eibar with no draws in the last five, and they beat Eibar 1-0 in their last meeting.
• There is no real deep-seated rivalry to spice this one up, but it is a clash between two teams with very different strengths and this could be a chess match in which neither side will be able to gain the upper hand.

Key Players

• Javier Marton, Eibar's deep-lying playmaker, has the best goalscoring ratio on the team with eight in 26 games in the Spanish second tier this campaign.
• David Gonzalez is Burgos’ top scorer with the same total from 28 appearances and his clinical finishing has fuelled their recent winning streak with two in his last five.

Betting Insights

• Backing a draw in this game makes some sense at 3.05 and it is also worth considering ‘Both Teams to Score - No’ at 1.5 given neither side has much to gain by pushing forward.
• Despite Eibar’s pressing style, the stats suggest that they might not have enough final third penetration to break down a well-disciplined Burgos team.

Prediction

• Both teams have been in good form recently, but the hosts are on a two-game winning streak while Burgos are on a two-match winning run, so this could be close.
• We will take a draw as the most likely outcome.
