2070
On Sunday evening, Eibar and Athletic Club go head-to-head at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua in the last 32 of the Copa del Rey.
Eibar
This season, the home team’s main aim will be to win promotion to La Liga. However, they are currently in seventh place in the Spanish second-tier table, a point outside the play-off spots.
Joseba Etxeberria’s team heads into this clash on the back of a run of five games without a win in 90 minutes. Last time out, Eibar drew 1-1 with Sporting Gijon.
The result means that four of Eibar’s last five games have produced under 2.5 goals.
Eibar made it through to the last 32 by drawing 1-1 at UD Melilla in the previous round but winning a penalty shootout.
The result continues an inconsistent recent run of results for the home side in the Copa, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their previous five games in normal time.
Athletic Club
The Basque team’s strong season continued last time out, as Ernesto Valverde’s team recorded a 2-0 win at Sevilla. The result means Athletic won their previous three games without conceding a goal.
The boys from Bilbao are also unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions.
Athletic has a decent recent record in the Copa del Rey, as they have won seven of their last nine games in the competition, including recording wins at Rubi and Cayon in this season's Copa.
Athletic also has a strong recent away record in the Copa del Rey, winning six of their last seven games in the competition on their travels.
Los Leones have been prolific in that period of games, scoring at least two goals in four of their previous five outings in the Copa.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Athletic will continue their recent good form by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
