Last season, we saw a 1:1 draw at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua, while Eibar managed to snatch a 2:0 win at Granada's pitch at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes.
Looking further back, we could see that Eibar were a lot better. In the past ten h2h games, Eibar won seven times, while Granada secured only one win.
Eibar team overview
Eibar suffered relegation from the Spanish top-flight division in the 2020/21 season and were among the promotion candidates in the following three seasons. Unfortunately, in the last one, they finished ninth, 11 points away from the Playoffs. For the upcoming season, their goal is at least to secure the Playoffs.
After a 1:1 draw in the first game of the season vs Malaga, coach Beñat San José spoke to the media. He was proud of the team, saying they showed effort and ambition until the end. Still, the coach admitted they were bad at pressing Malaga, which allowed opponents to dominate possession. He stated that this is something they have to address in the upcoming games.

Granada team overview
Granada are one of the teams that traveled between La Liga and La Liga 2 pretty often in the previous decade. However, last year, the Andalusian team was unable to secure promotion, as they finished seventh, four points away from the Playoffs and 12 points away from direct promotion.
Like Eibar, Granada's goal is also to at least secure the Playoffs. However, they opened the season with a 3:1 home loss to Deportivo La Coruna in a match where they got outplayed. In the match, central defender Manu Lama received a red card, which probably decided the game. The 24-year-old defender will be suspended, and we should expect Pablo Insua in the starting lineup as a replacement.

Prediction
If we combine the first game of the season and the pre-season friendlies, we could see that Eibar were under 2.5 goals in seven consecutive games while scoring only three goals (0.43 per game). Also, last season, Eibar were by far the best team in the league for this type of bet as 69% of their games finished with fewer than three goals (29 out of 42 matches).
Granada are having major problems offensively. We could see that in the pre-season, where they scored just one goal in four matches - 0.25 per game! And in the first game of the season vs Deportivo La Coruna, they scored once, but struggled creating chances and eventually had only 0.58 xG
Additionally, the last three h2h games ended with fewer than three goals. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet should be the safest option for this La Liga 2 tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Eibar went under 2.5 goals in seven consecutive games (friendlies included)
- Granada scored two goals in the last five games - 0.4 per game
- The previous three h2h games ended with fewer than three goals
Main prediction -
