Real Sociedad B
- Real Sociedad B have won three of their last five games, beating Castellon 4-2 at home and winning 2-0 away to Cordoba.
- At home, Sanse’s form has been patchy with one win and two defeats from the last three, but they have scored 1.56 goals per game and conceded an average of 1.25 at home, suggesting there should be a few goals in this clash of styles.
Eibar
- Eibar have won two of their last 15 away games in LaLiga 2, losing eight of those.
- Eibar, under the watch of ex-Sanse boss Benat San Jose, come into this having recorded four wins and a draw in their last five and back-to-back away wins.
Head-to-Head
Six months after Eibar came away with a 2-1 LaLiga 2 win over Real Sociedad B , the roles have almost been reversed with the hosts now sitting 15th in the table with 40 points from 31 games and Eibar in 8th with 48 points from 32 matches .
Key Players
- The young players have the quality to hold the ball in wide areas and the discipline to play in their positions, while the central midfielders are capable of creating overloads and chances.
- Ansotegui’s men should edge this derby, however, with home-field advantage and the attacking form of Job Ochieng to give them the edge over their visitors.
Betting Insights
- Eibar’s away record is poor and their attack has been blunt, averaging just 0.53 goals per match away from home while conceding 1.27 per match.
- The odds on a home win are 2.8, Over 2.5 goals is 2.2 and ‘Both Teams to Score - No’ is 1.83.
Prediction
We can’t see Eibar finding a way to score against Sanse’s well-organised defence and expect a similar result to last time these two sides met.
