Home: Eibar
- Eibar have won seven and lost just two of their 12 home games in LaLiga 2 this season, conceding an average of 0.75 goals per game.
- Beñat San José’s Eibar have played with a higher tempo and more verticality since he took charge in February 2025.
- His team press high up the field and try to win the ball in the wide areas where they can get their pacy attackers in behind, and Javier Marton has been the focal point of their attack, scoring six times in 20 LaLiga 2 appearances this season.
Away: Sporting Gijon
- Sporting Gijon have picked up five wins and suffered six losses from 11 away matches, and conceded 17 goals on the road.
- Sporting, on the other hand, prefer to stay compact and give their midfielders time and space to dictate the tempo, focusing on controlled transitions and exploiting their forwards on the counter-attack or set-pieces.
- Jonathan Dubasin is a lethal finisher with 11 goals in 19 games to top the club’s scoring charts, but Juan Otero has been their red-hot player of late, scoring four in his last five and contributing to Sporting’s recent run of three wins and two defeats from their last five matches.
Head-to-Head
Sporting have won one and drawn two of the last three head-to-head encounters in LaLiga 2, and Eibar have failed to win any of their two most recent home encounters with the Asturian side.

Betting Insights
- Eibar are the favourites with the oddsmakers at 2.16, with Sporting second favourite at 3.55 and the draw at 3.1.
- However, Eibar concede only 0.75 goals per home game in the league and Sporting have conceded 17 goals on the road, so the under 2.5 goals option at 1.53 looks a much more attractive option in this fixture.
Prediction
With Eibar winning three straight home games, and Sporting winning two of their last three, this should be a close game but the home side’s extra home advantage and momentum has us leaning towards a home win .
