Eibar host Mallorca at Municipal de Ipurua, Eibar on Saturday, Oct 17 at 4:15 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 2 points in the LaLiga 2, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Eibar come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Mallorca travel in good form (3W 1D 1L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Eibar face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Mallorca have won 5 of 6 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Mallorca won 2–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Eibar a slight edge, but Mallorca are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
