Football Results

This could be an interesting match, because Eibar has managed to outperform all expectations this season, and they are in a great seventh place, while Sevilla is fifth with four points more than their host. Eibar is currently not in a particularly good form, so they are three rounds without a win, with two draws, while Sevilla has five draws in a row, of which three were played in the Cup and they have also played draws in the previous two games. In the first part of the season Sevilla celebrated with 3-0.

Eibar

Even though they are three rounds without a win, it is difficult to object to Eibar because they had the aforementioned series of seven rounds without defeat, which led them to almost European positions. They were not bad in the previous three games and only Atletico defeated them with a minimum of 1-0. A home draw with Malaga with a score 1-1 can be called a small blunder, but they have also played the same result in the last round against their Basque rival Athletic in Bilbao.

It is interesting that they received exactly one goal in the previous six games, but only once lost, while the last time they received more than one goal at San Sebastian was in early November. Coach Mendilibar has made a lot of changes in the team, and similar thing could happen now with the return of Capa, Angel, D.Garcia, Jordan and Charles.

Probable lineups Eibar: Dmitrovic – Capa, Ramis, Arbilla, Angel – D.Garcia, Jordan, Alejo, Inui – Kike, Charles

FC Sevilla

Sevilla continues to play in Copa del Rey and these games take a lot of strength, but they are worthy for now because they are on the verge of placement in the finals, after playing 1-1 in the first semi-final match with Leganes. Before that they have eliminated Atletico Madrid and can be satisfied, while they cannot be satisfied with their championship matches. They are struggling and having a difficult time to win, so in the last round they did not manage to defeat Getafe in their field, though they did not have the luck and the goal for the final 1-1 was literally received in the last seconds of the game.

Before that they defeated Espanyol smoothly and they hoped to continue with the victories, which did not happen in either the championship or the Cup. Sevilla has much stronger composition than the placement on the table shows, and coach Montella can rotate a large number of players. They have brought some others in the winter transition period and they are expected to debut. Those are Arana, Mesa, Ramirez and Layun, but they will unlikely play from the first minute, and it is certain that Mercado will not play because of suspension, while Kjaer is questionable due to injury.

Probable lineups FC Sevilla: S.Rico – J.Navas, Lenglet, Kjaer, Escudero – N'Zonzi, Banega – Sarabia, Vazquez, Nolito – Ben Yedder

Verdict:

Sevilla is not shining lately, but they are also not losing matches and they are surely a much better team than Eibar, which is also in a slight decline in form and therefore we do not believe that Sevilla will lose this duel while we do not exclude the possibility of a draw.
