Eibar, almost unbelievably, are now in their 4th season in Spain’s top flight and it’s a measure to their progress that the Basque minnows are no longer seen as one of the relegation favourites. Like Malaga they finished comfortably in mid-table last season and this promises to be a tight game although the hosts could just edge it.
Malaga found themselves in a bit of a mess at one stage last term but they really rallied late on under Michel, their third boss of the campaign. He did a fine job, guiding Malaga to wins in 6 of their last 9 league matches to put a bit of gloss on a pretty desperate campaign. That included wins in 4 of their final 5 home games including victories over Barcelona and Sevilla.
If they can carry that momentum over then they could start brightly this term. They’ve lost striker Sandro which is a significant blow but they have brought in Borja Baston on loan to replace him. He scored 18 league goals for Eibar two seasons ago and if he can find that sort of form again, he could be a real asset. There looks to be value in backing Borja Baston to score anytime against his former employers at 15/8.
You have to wonder how long Eibar can keep on performing miracles and competing with Spain’s biggest clubs. They did slightly start to fade last season, losing 5 of their final 7 league games. Since then they’ve sold key centre-back Florian Lejeune to Newcastle and that is quite a big hole to be filled and is something Borja could exploit in this game.
With home advantage, Malaga do look the side more likely to edge it and backing a Home Win at 6/5 could be the value bet.
Head To Head
