Eibar at Espanyol 7/12/2020 - La Liga Picks & Predictions

Espanyol were mathematically relegated after the loss in the city derby against Barcelona and will now have nothing to play for, but pride. They will return home for their next assignment, where they will play host to Eibar on Sunday. Eibar are still active in the fight to avoid the relegation but have struggled lately.

Espanyol (5-21-9) played a really physical match on the road against Barcelona, where all they managed to do was to minimize their loss to just 0-1. They have been in tragic form lately, losing each of their last six matches and scoring just twice in that span. Espanyol are stuck at the bottom of the league table with 24 points, scoring 27 goals and conceding 55 in the process. They also have the worst home record in the league (2-10-5), and the 2nd worst home offense with just 15 goals.

Eibar (9-17-9) are coming off a really dull match at home against Leganes, where the two teams were unable to score and eventually split the points in a goal-less draw. Eibar emerged from the break with a 2-1-2 record but are now win-less in their last three (0-2-1). They are sitting at the 15th spot of the league table with 36 points, just four above the relegation zone. They have not done very good on the road so far (2-9-6), featuring the worst away offense with just 12 goals.

Espanyol won the reverse fixture on the road by 2-1, while the two teams exchanged clean sheet home wins last season. Eibar have stood greatly in this venue over the years (3-2-2) and have a high interest for points here. Espanyol have been struggling for quite a while now and it is unclear if they will actually play better now that there is nothing at stake here. Taking the Over 2 Goals here.
