Eibar vs Racing Ferrol prediction 16.11.2024 | La Liga 2

• Competition: La Liga 2
• Date: Saturday, 16th November, 2024
• Kickoff: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CET
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de Ipurua (Eibar)

After spending seven seasons in La Liga, Eibar were relegated in 2020/21. In the following three seasons, they were constantly in the upper part of the league's table but failed to return to the Spanish top-flight division. Unfortunately, this season, they are underperforming as they hold 13th place with 18 points in 14 rounds. To be fair, they did have a good start but have lost four out of the last five and are now desperately looking for points to move closer to the Playoff zone.

Racing Ferrol arrived in La Liga 2 from the Segunda Division in 2022/23 and had a solid last season, finishing tenth, not even close to the relegation zone. However, they have major problems this season, considering they are in 20th place with 12 points in 13 rounds. Still, the safe zone is only two points away, and Ferrol have one game played less than the 18th-placed Cadiz. So, a win could move them into the safe zone.

Eibar vs Racing Ferrol pick: Under 2.5 goals

These teams are among the best in the league for this type of bet. While Eibar were under 2.5 goals in 71% of their games, Racing Ferrol were under this line in 69% of their games. Only Mirandes have a better % when it comes to low-scoring games in La Liga 2.

Additionally, Eibar are in terrible form, with four straight losses, while failing to score every time. They even failed to score against a lower-tier team in the Cup, Logrones. So, we do not expect them to suddenly play much better offensively.

On the other hand, Racing Ferrol are in an OK form. Still, they haven't been great offensively. In fact, they weren't great offensively throughout the season, as they scored zero or one goal in 12 out of 13 La Liga 2 games.

In the previous season, these teams met twice, and we have seen fewer than three goals on both occasions.

Considering the previous h2h games, Eibar's poor form, and both teams' constant low-scoring games, we believe that an under 2.5 goal is the safest option for this La Liga 2 tie.
