Villarreal vs Eibar Free Betting Tips

Sameid, Villarreal faces Eibar in a match counting for Matchday 2 of La Liga. These two teams hope to win their first success of the season after their respective inaugural draw.

Returning to a much more correct level than that displayed in recent seasons, Villarreal has regained its place among the best clubs in La Liga and was in 5th position at the end of the last exercise. Also, the Yellow Submarine will return to the Europa League this year. This summer, Unai Emery’s men played 5 friendly matches for 3 losses against Tenerife (2-3), Valencia (2-1) and Levante (1-2) last Saturday. They have otherwise won ahead of Cartagena (3-1) and Real Sociedad (2-0). On the other hand, they were held in check by the promoted Huesca last week during the first day.

For his part, Eibar has been present for 6 seasons now in the elite but has not managed to reach a real milestone year after year. Indeed, last season, they had to settle for 14th in the standings with 42 points on the clock and fail to place among the top 10 candidates. During the summer, the Armeros beat Rayo Vallecano (0 -1) before being incinerated against Leganes (3-1) and making two draws against Osasuna (1-1) and Bilbao (2-2). Opposed to Celta Vigo during the first day, Eibar managed to preserve a point (0-0).

The workforce for Villarreal vs Eibar

A blow for Villarreal this summer who let Santi Cazorla go in semi-retirement in Qatar when he had been the centerpiece of the team last year. In addition, former captain Bruno Soriano, now little used, hung up his crampons and the former Marseillais Zambo-Anguissa returned to Fulham while Alvaro Gonzalez (Marseille) and Toko Ekambi (Lyon) left the club for good after being loaned. On the other hand, defender Jaume Costa and midfielders Francis Coquelin and Dani Parejo were debauched from Valencia. In the cages, the former very good goalkeeper from Montpellier Rulli was recruited and the promising Japanese winger Kubo was loaned by Real Madrid. An 18-time scorer last year, the excellent Gerard Moreno found the loophole in the penalty spot last week. For this meeting, the defender Alberto Moreno, the less important Funes Mori and the Colombian striker Bacca should be withdrawn.

On the downward slope last year, veteran defender Ivan Ramis hung up his boots on Eibar’s side. In addition, Chilean midfielder Orellana (8 goals) has joined Valladolid and important Escalante, Uruguayan international Cristoforo and prolific Brazilian striker Charles have all left the club. On the other hand, Eibar relies heavily on the Polish Damian Kadzior, author of 10 goals and 10 assists with Dinamo Zagreb last season, and arrived this summer in the workforce. A priori, the titular defenders Cote and Aribilla and the less used Cubero should not make the trip.
