Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Eibar and Espanyol take on each other at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua in what is expected to be an interesting La Liga 2 game. Los Armeros are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in the Spanish second tier, but they face a tough challenge against the Catalan outfit. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s clash. Los Periquitos, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Racing Santander, with the team outplaying Mirandes 3-0 in front of home fans.
Espanyol, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given their eight-game winless run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Martin Braithwaite, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late. Both Eduardo Exposito and Nico Melamed are injured for the visiting side.
