Eibar will be looking to consolidate their place at the top of the table
Eibar host Las Palmas at the Municipal de Ipurua in the Spanish Segunda Division on Friday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Eibar are currently top of the table, one point ahead of Almeria in 2nd. Gaizka Garitano’s side have been in inconsistent form of late, having won only two of their last five games. They will look to bounce back with a win against Las Palmas on Friday.
Las Palmas, on the other hand, are currently 7th in the league, with a win potentially taking them up to 6th. Garcia Pimienta’s side have been in great form of late, having won their last four games on the trot. They will hope to take that momentum into the game against Eibar on Friday.
Both sides are looking to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
Eibar vs Las Palmas Head-to-Head
Eibar have dominated the recent head-to-head record between the two sides, having won four of their last five meetings, with Las Palmas winning the other.
Eibar came away as 1-0 winners in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Stoichkov’s first-half strike was enough to secure the win on the night.
