Eibar
- Eibar are on a 3-game home win streak and have lost just 2 of their 14 home games in LaLiga 2 this term, winning 9.
- Both sides have 35 points apiece after 27 LaLiga 2 fixtures, with Eibar currently in 11th place.
- Beñat San José has made a great impression since taking over at Eibar in February 2025 and has turned them into one of the most attacking teams in the division.
- His high-pressing 4-2-3-1 system involves some very dynamic full-backs, who create plenty of overloads and give his side the ball most of the time - allowing them to dictate the play and control the pace of the game.
Cadiz
- Cadiz have failed to win either of their last 2 away games (D1, L1) and have won only 3 of their 13 away LaLiga 2 matches this season (D6, L4).
- Cadiz are currently in 12th place after 27 fixtures.
- Garitano, who took over as Cadiz manager in December 2024, has focused on getting his side to defend compactly and structure their counter-attacks in their pragmatic 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 system.
- Cadiz score an average of 0.92 goals per away game in LaLiga 2 and concede an average of 1.15 per game, which makes them vulnerable when they travel to Ipurua to take on Eibar’s high-press.
Head-to-Head
Eibar and Cadiz won one apiece and drew the third of the last 3 LaLiga 2 meetings between the clubs, which have been tight affairs.
Key Players
- Javier Marton is Eibar’s main goal threat with 7 in 24 appearances in this LaLiga 2 campaign.
- Iuri Tabatadze has been Cadiz's most consistent performer up front with 6 goals in 18 league games.
Betting Insights
- The Basques are clear favorites for this one at 1.75, with Cadiz set as outsiders at 5.0.
- Both Teams To Score is priced at 1.67, which looks interesting given Cadiz’s counter-attacking setup and Eibar’s attacking intent.
Prediction
Eibar are in the ascendancy, Cadiz are on a run of poor results and it will be the hosts who will take the win at Ipurua on Sunday, if they can break down a Cadiz side who have been stubborn in their approach under new boss Gaizka Garitano.
