Valencia vs Eibar Team News

Valencia were made to scrap really hard to salvage a draw on the last match-day on the road against Real Valladolid. After going behind early in the game, Los Ches threw men forward in search of an equalizer.

The club’s supporters grew increasingly frustrated until a last gasp 94^th-minute sublime strike pulled the visitors level to snatch a point from Valladolid. The travelling supporters were thrown into raptures as the ball trickled into the net.

Los Ches have been on cloud-9 in recent weeks, managing a single loss from their preceding eleven La Liga fixtures, and just three in their previous twenty games.

At Estadio de Mestalla, they have not put a single foot wrong all season, having admitted defeat just once the entire season – that loss coming against the might of Ajax in the Champions League. The Sons of the Gods were utterly dominant in that fixture and Valencia supporters can have no complaints about their loss.

Eibar, on the other hand, have been mediocre on the road this season. Their 3-0 victory over Granada last time out came on home turf, as Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side were in complete control of the game from start to finish.

None can have any complaints about Los Armeros’s performances in front of the home support. However, it’s their displays in away games that have come in for serious scrutiny.

These cluster of players have managed a measly two wins from all their away games across all competitions the entire campaign. In fact, they have secured a single win on the road this league campaign, and it had come against the relegation-threatened Leganes.

For this fixture, the Estadio de Mestalla factor is very likely to come into play. The hosts will pin a great deal of hope on their home advantage this weekend. They have been solid on this ground so far this season and are likely to continue their good run of form against Eibar.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Valencia: Cristiano Piccini, Gonçalo Guedes, Manu Vallejo.

Eibar: Fabián Orellana.

Valencia vs Eibar Predictions

Valencia, without a doubt, have to be considered huge favorites to come away with the win in this fixture. Home advantage, h2h superiority as well as sheer talent within their ranks should be enough to see Albert Celades’ men edge out their opposition.

With Eibar having the away handicap to deal with, they are unlikely to salvage a favorable result this weekend. The safest punt would be backing the home side for a comfortable win at the Mestalla.
