Eibar vs. Barcelona – Prediction H2H (19.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

No other side has won more LaLiga games against Eibar than Barcelona (nine, level with Atletico de Madrid). In addition, the Blaugrana are the team with the most goals scored against them in the top-flight (33). In their last eight away LaLiga games, Barcelona have alternated between scoring two goals and failing to score at all – netting twice against Getafe in their last match. The only time that Eibar have conceded more than five goals in a LaLiga game was against Barcelona in September 2017 (6-1 at Camp Nou).

Eibar’s progress continues, with their unbeaten run in La Liga (LL) now standing at four games (W2, D2). The last three games in that sequence, which includes two wins on home turf, saw all of Eibar’s open-play goals arrive in the second half. Eibar have won their last two home LaLiga games – the last time they won three or more consecutive matches at Ipurua was in December 2017 (four). The hosts are without a first-half goal at home in the league all season, but by coincidence, they last scored a league goal before the break here against Barcelona (May 19). That match also represented Eibar’s very first top-flight point over the Catalan outfit, after nine straight H2H defeats – six of which saw them lose both halves.

Barcelona travel after what is now a run of four LL wins in five (W4, L1), with three of the last four games in that sequence seeing the victor on the day win the second half 1-0. Meanwhile, each of their last five league wins have seen them score 2+ goals, with their first two goals being separated by no more than ten playing minutes each time. Barcelona have scored in each of their 10 LaLiga matches against Eibar (3.3 goals per game), while only conceding six in return. However, the champions have still won just once on the road in the league this season, and their last three LL away games have seen them concede a penalty goal or suffer a dismissal. In turn, their win-rate as an away favourite (currently 33.33%) is down from the 55.67% attained in 2018/19.
