Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Eibar and Racing Santander face each other at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua in the opening match of the La Liga 2 round 22. Los Armeros are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run in the Spanish second tier, but their display in the FA Cup loss to Athletic Bilbao (0-3) was anything but good. Sergio Alvarez Diaz remains on the sidelines with a muscle injury, while fellow midfielder Cristian Gutierrez is a major doubt.
Los Racinguistas, on the other hand, did well to beat Andorra at home in their last league match, but beating Eibar in the Basque Country is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. As for the away side, Juan Carlos Arana misses out through suspension, while both Alvaro Mantilla and Clement Grenier are sidelined with injuries.
