Eibar vs Racing Santander prediction, preview, team news and more

Eibar and Racing Santander will square off at the Municipal de Ipurua in round seven of the LaLiga 2 on Sunday (September 25).

Los Armeros have won their first three home games this season and will look to maintain their fine run.

Eibar failed to make it two wins from two on Saturday, as they fell to a 2-0 loss against FC Andorra. They have now lost two of their last three games, with an emphatic 4-0 win over Granada on September 12 sandwiched between both losses.

With ten points from six games, Eibar are sixth in the LaLiga2 standings but could rise as high as second place with all three points.

Like the hosts, Santander were denied their first set of consecutive wins this season last weekend when they were held to a goalless draw by Las Palmas.

That followed a 2-0 victory over Sporting Gijon on September 11, which saw their four-game losing streak come to an end. Santander are 20th in the second tier standings, picking up four points from a possible 18.

Eibar vs Racing Santander Head-To-Head

With two wins from the last five meetings between the two teams, Eibar boast a superior record in this fixture. Santander are without a win against the hosts, while three games have ended all square.
