Football Bet of the Day: Eibar to bring Sky Blues down to Earth

Eibar might enjoy themselves at Balaidos on Saturday

"Visiting teams from outside the current top six, Eibar are W4-D2-L1 this term"

Back Eibar 0 & +0.5 on the Asian Handicap @ 2.226/5 v Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo have been poor hosts of late and Tobias Gourlay fancies Eibar to take advantage in Saturday's early La Liga game

Red Bull Salzburg 2 Real Sociedad 1 in Austria last night. It's a win that nudges us into profit for the week ahead of a Saturday morning trip to Spain.

Celta Vigo sit 11th in La Liga. But they owe that comfortable mid-table position to their away form. At Balaidos, the Sky Blues have won only 4/11. Against teams now above them in the league, they've won just 1/6.

Seventh-placed Eibar are unbeaten in five on the road (W3-D2-L0). Visiting teams from outside the current top six, Jose Luis Mendilibar's men are W4-D2-L1 this term. They won this fixture 2-0 last season and we're backing them to at least partially avenge the 4-0 defeat they suffered in this season's reverse fixture.
