Match preview
SpainSegunda División
The force is strong with this one, young padawan. Two teams that have found the net in every one of their last five encounters are about to meet at Cordoba's ground, and the evidence whispers a clear truth: both nets will shake.
Cordoba arrive with a mixed bag of results — three wins and two losses in their last five, with a 1–0 victory at Leganes on 16 October as their most recent outing. At home, over 20 games, they have won 8, drawn 4 and lost 8, scoring 1.2 goals per game while conceding 1.5. In 11 of those 20 home fixtures, both teams found the scoresheet. Their last five games saw 4 of 5 end with both sides scoring, and across their last 10 in all venues, 8 of 10 produced a both-teams-to-score yes.
Eibar, meanwhile, travel with a different rhythm. Three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five, including a 3–1 away victory at Albacete and a 3–2 home win over Las Palmas. Their away record over 20 games tells a story of resilience: 10 wins, 6 draws, 4 losses, conceding just 0.75 goals per game and keeping 10 clean sheets. Yet in their last five, they have conceded in every single match — no clean sheets at all — and they have scored in all five. In 9 of their 20 away games, both teams have found the net.
The head-to-head at this venue, within the last 12 months, produced a 0–0 draw on 13 December 2025. That is a single data point, and the older meetings — a 4–1 and a 3–0 at Eibar's ground, a 2–1 at Cordoba's — are historical record, not current form. The recent picture is what matters, and it points to open football.
The counter-argument, if you will, is that Eibar's away record shows 12 of 20 games finishing under 2.5 goals, and their 10 clean sheets in 20 away games suggest a side that can shut a match down. Cordoba, too, have failed to score in 6 of their 20 home games. But look at the last five for both sides: 9 out of 10 games saw both teams find the net. That is not a trend to ignore, young one.
The market prices both teams to score at 1.62, implying a 61.73% chance. My own reading of the form — two sides that have not failed to score in their last five, a home record where 11 of 20 games saw both nets shake, and an away side that has conceded in every recent outing — puts the true likelihood higher than the bookmaker's figure. I rate it at roughly 68%.
Key Points:
The wise path, young one, is to trust the evidence before you. Both teams to score — yes.
