Eibar (WDLLW) will face Real Valladolid (LLWDD) in round 37 of the Spanish La Liga Santander at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua in Eibar on Thursday.

Eibar is coming into the game in the 15th position with 39 points, tied with Real Valladolid. Overall, Eibar has recorded 10 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses in the league. In their last time out, Eibar recorded their first win in 4 previous games against bottom-placed Espanyol. It was also their third win since league restarted.

In total, Eibar has recorded 36 goals, 51 concedes, 23 assists, 11 clean sheets, 134 shots on-target, 88 yellow cards, and 3 red card bookings.

Eduardo Expósito is one of the key players to look out for in this match. Expósito recently scored in a La Liga match for the third time this campaign, the second in which he also scored the opening goal. In front of the net for Eibar is Marko Dmitrovic, who has made 35 appearances for the team. He has recorded 51 conceded goals, an average of 1.46 goals conceded per 90 minutes. He has also sported 73 saves, 10 clean sheets, and 20% penalty save percentage.

On the other hand, Real Valladolid lost their second game in a row in a last time out 1-0 loss to Barcelona. Since league restart, Real Valladolid has recorded 4 draws with 3 losses but managed to secure 2 wins by a one-goal margin. Real Valladolid sits on the 14th position with 39 points, tied with their hosts, Eibar. They have recorded 8 wins, 15 draws and 13 losses so far. In their last game, Arturo Vidal scored the only goal for Barcelona in the 15th-minute to record a three-point win. Real Valladolid recorded 35% ball possession and 13 goal attempts. Overall, Real Valladolid has recorded 29 goals, 40 conceded goals, 17 assists, 11 clean sheets, 112 shots, and 84 yellow card bookings.

Key players that will feature in Valladolid’s forward are Sergi Guardiola and Enes Unal. Both players have netted in six La Liga games this season, including against Eibar earlier this season. In front of the net for Real Valladolid is Jordi Masip. Ranked 7th, Masip has allowed 39 goals, an average of 1.11 goals allowed per 90 minutes, 87 saves, and 11 clean sheets.

Eibar is yet to defeat Real Valladolid as a La Liga club from three attempts since 2018. A recent record of one win, 2 draws, and two losses from their last five La Liga games as a home favorite doesn’t inspire much confidence, either. Real Valladolid has not won any of their previous three away games either. Valladolid has recorded only 4 out of 18 away games, which puts them in the 11th position.
