Eibar vs Dep. La Coruna Prediction & Betting Tips (27 September)

Eibar welcome Deportivo La Coruña to the Ipurua Municipal Stadium on September 27 in what promises to be a compelling LaLiga2 clash. The hosts have shown signs of resurgence after a rocky start, clinching victories against Real Sociedad B and FC Andorra while narrowly falling to Cádiz and Huesca. Under the guidance of manager Joseba Etxeberria, Eibar have tightened their defensive lines, conceding just 0.9 goals per match at home. Their recent 2-1 win over Real Sociedad B showcased a balanced attack led by Stoichkov and Ager Aketxe, both of whom are expected to feature prominently again.

Deportivo La Coruña, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form, having dismantled SD Huesca 4-0 and thrashed CD Mirandés 5-1 in recent outings. Coach Imanol Idiakez has instilled a dynamic attacking philosophy, with Lucas Pérez and Davo forming a lethal partnership up front. Despite their impressive goal tally—averaging 1.9 goals per away match—their defensive frailties remain a concern, especially when playing outside the Riazor. The Galicians have struggled to maintain clean sheets on the road, which could be exploited by Eibar’s high pressing style.

Historically, Deportivo have had the upper hand in head-to-head meetings, winning six of the last twelve encounters. However, Eibar’s home record against them is more balanced, with two wins and two draws in six matches. The tactical battle will likely hinge on midfield control, where Eibar’s Sergio Álvarez and Deportivo’s Rubén Díez will be tasked with dictating tempo. Both teams are chasing promotion spots, with Deportivo currently sitting atop the table and Eibar close behind in seventh, adding extra weight to this fixture.

Given the current form and statistical trends, a 2-1 victory for Eibar seems a plausible outcome. Their home advantage, coupled with Deportivo’s vulnerability away from home, tips the scale slightly in favor of the Basque side. Expect Eibar to strike early, absorb pressure, and capitalize on counterattacks, while Deportivo will likely respond with their trademark flair but fall just short. This match could be a turning point in the promotion race, and fans should brace for ninety minutes of high-octane football.
