Jose Luis Mendilibar’s footballers are 15th in the La Liga table (19 points after 18 matches). The gunsmiths’ departure zone is separated by 3 points. Since the beginning of the championship “Eibar” has 4 wins, 7 draws and 7 defeats. After a series of 3 matches without defeat in all tournaments, Eibar lost two times in a row. First, the team of Mendilibar lost to Levante in the away match of Primera (1:2) and then ignominiously flew out of the Spanish Cup in the 1/16 finals. The Gunsmiths were beaten 3:1 by the modest Navalcarnero, playing in the Spanish 3rd most powerful division. The only goal among the losers was scored by Yoshinori Muto. Matches with the participation of Eibar are not spectacular. On average, they score only 0.8 goals, conceding 1 goal. Only in 1 out of 18 matches the “gunsmiths” allowed to score more than 2 goals into their own goal. It happened in a home meeting with Real Madrid (1:3).
The “Burgundy” played very well in the national championship throughout December. Sean Ditch’s team played six matches this month and lost only to Leeds (0:1). Three wins and two draws throughout December allowed Burnley to leave the relegation zone and catch their breath. However, with the beginning of the new calendar year, the team started losing again. Let it be at least 0:1, but in two matches in a row the “Burgundy” lost to “Manchester United” and “West Ham”, as a result of which they were in 17th place in the standings, being ahead of the trio of outsiders by four points. In terms of guest performance, Burnley is one of the worst teams so far in this championship. In nine matches on the rivals’ fields, Sean Deitch’s men scored only six points. 4 goals are scored and 14 conceded. Only Sheffield United have worse away results. The Burnley infirmary is empty. The participation of defenders Charlie Taylor, Jimmy Dunn and goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell is in question. More soccer statistics and predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
