Sporting’s relegation is yet to be confirmed, but Rubi’s men are in need of two victories in their last two games if they are to stand a good chance of avoiding the drop, with a visit to Eibar not ideal.
The hosts are no longer in the running for a Europa League place, despite having a tremendous season, with their form dipping dangerously in the last few weeks or so, which has been taken into account by our Eibar vs Sporting preview.
- Eibar 0-1 Athletic Bilbao
- Alaves 0-0 Eibar
- Eibar 2-0 Leganes
- Atletico Madrid 1-0 Eibar
Jose Mendilibar’s men have remained competitive despite having their backs against the wall in the Spanish top flight, but they’ve failed to score in four of their last five league outings.
At home, Los Armeros have taken advantage of two teams who travel poorly, of late, with Las Palmas and Leganes put to the sword. Sporting should be a logical third, according to our Eibar vs Sporting predictions.
- Osasuna 2-2 Sporting
- Sporting 1-1 Espanyol
- Villarreal 3-1 Sporting
- Sporting 1-0 Las Palmas
Ander Capa is back fit for the home side, which is a huge boost, with Eibar having their strongest line-up available to try and dispatch of Sporting to maintain their high league standing.
Sporting need three points, nothing else will do for their survival hopes, but the home side look set to be the team to slam the blade down on the executioner’s block in our Eibar vs Sporting picks.
