Eibar welcome Sevilla to the Ipurua Municipal Stadium in their La Liga fixture scheduled for Saturday.
Sevilla have climbed to fourth in the league standings thanks to three wins in their last four outings. Meanwhile, Eibar only have one win to their name in the same period.
The visitors also proceeded to the last-eight of the Copa del Rey, having recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over fellow La Liga side Valencia on Wednesday.

The two clubs have squared off 19 times across all competitions. Los Palanganas have nine wins to their name while four games have ended in wins for the hosts.
Though their last three meetings have produced conclusive results, they have shared the spoils six times.
Los Armeros recorded a shock 1-0 win over their Andalusian rivals earlier this season at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. The visitors will be itching to return the favor when they make the lengthy trip to Northern Spain.

Eibar vs Sevilla Prediction
Sevilla are in good form in front of goal and have scored at least two goals in seven of their last nine games across all competitions. We expect them to put at least a couple of goals past the hosts on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Eibar have also scored at least one goal in their last 11 games across all competitions. However, they've also conceded at least once in nine of those games, and keeping a clean sheet in this match is unlikely.
We predict that the game will end in a comfortable win for the visitors thanks to their superior form at the moment.
Prediction: Eibar 1-3 Sevilla
