Valladolid, has been relegated from La Liga, are quite competitive in
La Liga 2. Currently, they hold the eighth position with a record of 14 wins,
six draws, and 11 losses. Although they are just one step away from reaching
the promotion playoffs, there are still challenges ahead for them to return to
La Liga. Notably, Valladolid have a remarkable home record. In the league so
far, they have achieved 10 wins, three draws, and two losses in their 15 home
games. During this period, they scored 25 goals and conceded only nine. Their
performance at home has been consistently strong, and it serves as their
scoring powerhouse.
Since their relegation from La Liga in the 2020-21 season, Eibar have
been determined to make a return. Last season, they finished fifth in the
league and secured a spot in the promotion playoffs. However, their promotion
hopes were dashed as they lost to Alaves in the semi-finals. This season, Eibar
have shown resilience and are currently sitting in fourth place. Their record
stands at 15 wins, seven draws, and nine losses. They are just four points
behind Leganes, who currently hold the top spot, giving Eibar a realistic
chance of competing for direct promotion. Notably, Eibar have been performing
well in their recent away matches. They have achieved two wins and two draws in
their last four away games, maintaining an unbeaten streak.
Eibar’s victory in the first leg against Valladolid, with a convincing
5-1 scoreline at home, gives them a clear psychological advantage heading into
their upcoming match. Furthermore, considering the overall performance and
stability of both teams this season, Eibar appears to have the upper hand.
Based on these factors, there is reason to be optimistic about Eibar’s chances
of a favorable outcome in their upcoming encounter with Valladolid.
