Midweek football in Primera Division, as Eibar hosts FC Sevilla in the 34th La Liga round.
A run of 3 consecutive losses saw Eibar drop dangerously close to the relegation zone … only 2 points above Deportivo. Hosts surprised many people with their good results in the first part of the season but it seems eventually that Primera Division might be a level too high for them. Leaving aside the 3 consecutive losses, Eibar has 12 defeats in the last 14 matches! In 10 of these matches they failed to score. The single win was 4 rounds, ago, 1-0 vs. Malaga … also the last time they scored a goal. Jaime will be unavailable for Eibar today … Raul Navas is questionable.

Sevilla is coming after a couple of very good results … the 2-2 draw in Russia with Zenit sent them to the Europa League semifinals and they followed that with a comfortable 2-0 win over Rayo Vallecano over the weakend … with Unai Emery taking the luxury to rest a couple of players. Sevilla’s recent good form saw them close in to just 2 points from Valencia for the 4th place, which is the big prize for them this season in La Liga. Obviously there is no room for error today vs. Eibar. Sevilla will not have Barbosa, Cristoforo, Pareja and Beto, also Vitolo is questionable. It is the same injury list as last round vs. Rayo.
I doubt Sevilla will be stopped from their 4th place quest by a team in such dreadful form as Eibar. Sevilla knows how to win this type of matches and I can see a pragmatic approach from them, trying to keep a clean sheet and find a winning goal over the 90 minutes. Considering the offensive futility of Eibar and the general dreadful football played by the home team, I expect Sevilla to get what they look for … a simple win without pressure in their box. My tip will be Sevilla to win to nil. Correct score prediction: Eibar – Sevilla 0-1.
Pick: Sevilla to win to nil
