La Liga Preview

There was an expectancy this season that Sevilla would be able to kick on from their performances at the back end of last season to challenge for a place at the upper reaches of the La Liga table. However, there has been a layer of disappointment with the performances that they have put in to this point. The Spanish side started the season well with two wins from two.

However, since then, they haven’t won again in La Liga. They have now gone three without a win in all competitions, and lost last time out in La Liga. That defeat was against Granada as they suffered a 1-0 loss away from home. Yangel Herrera scored the only goal of the game late in the game. Sevilla were also force to play for much of the match without Joan Jordan, who was sent off in first half injury time.

Eibar have steadily improved since the opening weeks of the season, but their aim will remain La Liga survival this term. They started the campaign with three defeats on the bounce, with those losses coming against Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao and Elche. However, since that defeat against Elche, they have recovered well and have won once and drawn once in their last two games. Their only win of the season so far came against Valladolid, while they drew their last game against Osasuna 0-0. There is still a lot of room for improvement for Eibar, but they are showing signs that they are prepared to fight for their status in La Liga.

Sevilla vs Eibar Head To Head

Sevilla won the last meeting between the sides back in July, and that ended a run of two games without a victory against Eibar. The visitors this weekend won the first meeting between the sides last season, and also secured a draw against Sevilla in the 2018-19 season.

Sevilla vs Eibar Prediction

There is no doubt that Sevilla have the quality to finish in the top four this season, but they have started the season sluggishly. There could still be a hangover from the extended season that they endured last term, but they will need to maintain their momentum to finish in the top four. That will start this weekend with a home win.
