On November 11, at Riazor, Deportivo will face Eibar in the 14th round of Spain’s Segunda Division. For this match, we suggest betting on goals, cards, or the match winner.
Deportivo
One of Spain’s most popular clubs, Deportivo enjoyed a peak around the turn of the century, even winning La Liga once and performing well in the Champions League. However, they lost their position gradually and ultimately fell to the third division, where they remained until last season’s promotion.
Led by Lucas Perez, the team’s primary goal is stability at this new level. But even that has been challenging, as they hover near the relegation zone. Their recent 5-1 away win over Cartagena was just their third victory, bringing them to 13 points. Deportivo sits in 17th place, and they would likely be satisfied to end the season just outside the relegation zone.
Eibar
Eibar has consistently aimed to return to La Liga since their relegation, finishing last season in third place, followed by disappointment in the playoffs—an all-too-familiar outcome for the team.
This season, however, they seem to be losing momentum. They started strongly with three wins and three draws in the first six rounds, but have since suffered five defeats in their last seven matches, scoring rarely. Their last league game ended in a 0-2 loss to Elche, and they were recently knocked out of the Copa del Rey by UD Logroñés.
