Elche vs Eibar prediction 25.01.2025 | LaLiga 2

• Competition: Segunda Division
• Date: 23rd January 2025
• Kick-off: 19:30 UTC / 20:30 CET
• Venue: Manuel Martínez Valero

Two sides separated by five places in the Spanish second division go head to head on Saturday evening as Elche play host to Eibar.

Elche were in fine form in all competitions before their Copa del Rey last-16 defeat to Atletico Madrid over a week ago. The Green-striped ones were unbeaten in ten games in all competitions and had won their previous four games without conceding a goal. Having ended that run with a defeat at the hands of top-flight Atletico, many expected Eder Sarabia's men to respond last weekend against Sporting Gijon in the second division. Sadly, that wasn't the case. They had to settle for a point, thanks to an 88th minute Agustin Alvarez equaliser which keeps them three points adrift of the leaders.

Eibar meanwhile are a long way off the summit, with ten points separating them from leaders Almeria. The Gunsmiths go into Saturday's clash on the back of a three-match unbeaten run, but they only managed one win in that time and conceded in all three. And having failed to win each of their last two meetings with Elche, a win for the visitors at the Manuel Martínez Valero this weekend would be a surprise.

Elche vs Eibar Betting Tips: Elche to win

Los Elche may be on a two-match winless streak but their home record in the Segunda Division this season is still strong and I fancy them to secure all three points. The Green-striped ones won each of their last four home league games, keeping a clean sheet in all but one of them.

Eibar have one of the worst away records in the division this season. They are without a clean sheet in their last ten away games and only won one of those.
