Ath Bilbao vs Eibar Match Preview

Athletic Bilbao's San Mames is an uncomfortable destination for any opponent in Spain. Since the beginning of 2019 until now, Athletic Bilbao has been unbeaten in 19 out of 20 matches there (won 14, draw 5, lost 1). Athletic Bilbao has defeated famous teams like Barcelona, Sevilla or Atletico Madrid there without conceding. Moreover, so far this season Athletic Bilbao is the team with the best home defense in the league, they have conceded only 3 goals after 8 games (they kept a clean sheet in 5/8 matches).

Eibar are struggling this season, they are just two points above the relegation zone. They are in a deep depression, having lost in their 4 most recent La Liga games. Eibar was going through a very difficult season, last weekend's fourth defeat against Getafe pushed Jose Luis Mendilibar's team even closer to the danger zone of the table.

Athletic Bilbao has been unbeaten in all 4 recent seasons when they welcomed Eibar at home (won 3, drew 1), including 2 victories Athletic Bilbao won easily with a difference of 2 goals. The home win is my call in this one.
