Eibar vs Las Palmas Prediction 27.09.2026 | Segunda Division

If opening day's 3-1 defeat away to Tenerife sparked early anxiety, Eibar’s response has been nothing short of phenomenal. Since that inaugural setback, the Basques have been absolutely flawless, refusing to drop a single point.

Five consecutive victories have propelled The Gunsmiths to a stellar second place on 15 points, trailing leaders Castellón by just a single point. The underlying metrics further validate their formidable surge.

Eibar have plundered 12 goals while conceding just four. Crucially, three of those goals were breached on Matchday 1, meaning Jokin Aranbarri’s side has shipped a mere single goal across their last five Segunda División outings, pitching four clean sheets in the process.

Morale is sky-high in the Eibar locker room. After five straight triumphs, the question is no longer whether they can recover from a bad start, but rather how long they can sustain this breathtaking, title-winning tempo.

While manager Jokin Aranbarri will have to navigate Sunday's battle without the injured quartet of Peru Nolaskoain, Lander Olaetxea, Eric Pérez, and Sergio Álvarez, he will confidently unleash a settled XI that is currently firing on all cylinders.

In stark contrast, Las Palmas arrive in the Basque Country burdened by a bitter sense of missed opportunity. Last weekend, they squandered a golden chance to solidify their playoff standing, suffering a shocking 2-1 collapse on home soil against Burgos CF.

The nature of that defeat was particularly agonizing; the Canary Islanders held a comfortable first-half lead, only to suffer a complete defensive blackout that left them empty-handed. This marked their second defeat in their last four second-tier assignments.

The biggest headache for manager Rubén de la Barrera lies squarely in the medical room. A severe injury crisis has dismantled his defensive unit, forcing him to reconstruct his backline ahead of this weekend. To make matters worse, young standout Juanma Herzog is unavailable due to international duty.

Despite the defensive emergency, Los Amarillos travel with dangerous weapons. They have already shown real backbone on the road this term, claiming maximum points in two of their first three away games. With former Real Madrid forward Jesé spearheading the frontline, Las Palmas possess more than enough technical quality to ruthlessly punish Eibar if the hosts become overly complacent.

De la Barrera’s blueprint for Ipurua will likely be pragmatic: weather the initial Basque storm, maintain a compact shape, and use rapid transitions to expose spaces behind the hosts' high defensive line.
