SD Eibar - Barcelona betting tips and odds

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. SD Eibar will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Barcelona merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

SD Eibar and their latest performance against Valencia in the La Liga could not have been good for their confidence. They may have been at home a field disadvantage, but no one expected them to lose 4:1 – not even after the lacklustre first half.

The first 45 minutes of Blaugrana’s latest game as hosts against Celta de Vigo brought a fair amount of excitement but no actual goals. A first-half stalemate, however, ended up being an utter disappointment for Blaugrana supporters who saw their team slip into a narrow 1:2 loss.

SD Eibar have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

Based on their recent performance, Barca’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Despite being favourites, Barca couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against SD Eibar. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

Before assuming the favoured visitors will win, keep in mind that their lineup has been altered due to several injuries. Sergi Roberto, Philippe Coutinho, Ansu Fati will all be missing for various reasons, leaving the coach with a shorter lineup than usual.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.36 odds offered at bet365.
