Eibar vs Real Sociedad Match Preview

Eibar is ranked at the bottom of the table with 23 points and is winless in the last five matches with a single draw and four consecutive losses. It has been a bad year for them as they not only are heading towards relegation but are doing so while having the worst attack in the league with 23 goals scored so far.

In the last five duels they scored only two goals while suffering heavy defeats like 5-0 against Atletico Madrid and 4-1 against Granada. Only four wins over 32 matches for them which is the fewest in the league, surely is not promising now that there are five games left to play.

At home nothing special came from them with just a win over 15 matches while they lost 8. That win came back in January and that is also the last game they won overall. Kike Garcia has been their only light with 9 goals and 2 assists this season but alone there is not much he can do.

Real Sociedad, on the other side, is ranked at 5th place with 50 points and comes after a win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. They are close to secure a spot in Europa League for the next season as in case of a win here they would extend the lead from Betis and Villarreal to 3 and 4 points respectively.

Injuries have been quite a problem for them lately which is also why they have had so many ups and downs, but for this game the best news is that their offensive side will have the trio Isak - Portu - Oyarzabal who together have scored a total of 31 goals and provided 12 assists.

I expect this to play a crucial role in the outcome for this duel considering they will face a rival that is not very solid in defense.

In conclusion, I think that Real Sociedad can win this match or get at least a draw. While it is true they are not in their best form for the moment and will miss some important players, I see them having more than enough quality upfront in order to beat Eibar which is struggling. Eibar will try to avoid another defeat here but I just do not see them winning after three months now.
