Valencia - SD Eibar betting tips and odds

Valencia have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.95 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

SD Eibar are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.75 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Valencia’s latest away game against Sevilla ended in a narrow 1:0 loss for them, though it can hardly be called a disaster. They were up against a far stronger opponent but managed to keep the score even in the first half. Either way, a concession in the late game sent them home with no points.

SD Eibar’s previous match against Real Betis wasn’t truly a success, but it was still a decent effect. They were behind for most of the game, yet they carved out a 1:1 draw in the end. Considering their opponents were tagged as favourites, SD Eibar can be proud of their single point.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Estadio de Mestalla this Sunday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

SD Eibar are a step from relegation going into round 37, with very little hope of avoiding it. They would need a miracle this late in the season, and Valencia will not be an easy target for extra points.

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

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.50 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
