Eibar vs Granada CF – Result Prediction (La Liga – 20.12.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

After three consecutive La Liga (LL) losses at home for the first time since 2015/16, Eibar continue to suffer their worst ever top-flight season, having failed to score in their last four home losses and even failing to cover the +1.5 goal handicap in three of those four. One of just four clubs yet to eke out a half-time/full-time win at home (after week 17), Eibar haven’t helped their cause by failing to score a single first-half goal at home (0-6), whilst managing to recover points after conceding the opening goal at home just once this season (W1, L4).

It presents the perfect opportunity for Granada to collect their maiden victory against Eibar in league football, with the early season table toppers losing their last four encounters with Eibar since 2015/16 – three by a margin of at least two goals. More importantly, Granada can snap a four-game losing run on the road – all by a margin of exactly two goals – in which they too have failed to score before the break, ensuring that three of the four losses were accompanied with half-time deficits.

Players to watch: With three goals in four victories against Granada, perhaps this is the day for Sergi Enrich to finally open his 2019/20 account. Roberto Soldado (GRA) continues to accrue bookings aplenty, with seven in his last 11 LL appearances.

Stat attack: Three of the last four H2H meetings have produced over 3.5 total goals (with one team leading 2-0 at half-time), whilst the other saw three goals scored. At any venue, 65.22% of LL goals scored or conceded by Granada have been recorded in the second half, as have 73.91% of goals witnessed by Eibar’s home fans. Both teams have scored in just three of the last ten LL matches involving either side.
