Prediction: 2-0
Huesca
Estadio Municipal de Ipurua will host Sunday’s football game between Eibar and Huesca, who face each other in the opening match of the 2018/2019 La Liga campaign. Los Armeros failed to win last four warm-up games, but Eibar fans believe that the time has come for their favourites to get back on course. Eibar were producing thrilling performances at home last season and it is no surprise they are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s clash against the newcomers. Japanese attacker Inui is no longer part of the team, but the likes of Charles and Sergi Enrich are likely to make life difficult for the opposition defenders. Huesca are eager to prove their worth in their first ever game in the Spanish elite division, but given Eibar’s experience, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the season opener.
