Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Eibar will look to cement top position in the standings when they host Lugo to their Estadio Municipal de Ipurua on Matchday 33. Los Armeros have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Cartagena, beating Amorebieta in the Basque derby, while sharing the spoils with Ponferradina. Eibar aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, with the team eyeing their 12th home triumph of the process.
Forward Franchu is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. Lugo, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures. Los Albivermellos are stuck in the middle of the table, and seeing that los Armeros want this win more than the visitors, home triumph should be considered. Juan Antonio Ros misses the Oviedo game with injury, and he is rated doubtful for Saturday’s clash.
