Kike Garcia and Sergi Enrich should continue in attack but Charles returns from suspension to give the hosts another option. David Junca misses out again, meaning that Jose Angel will continue at left-back. Yoel Rodríguez, Fran Rico, Pedro León and Asier Riesgo are injured and Cristian Rivera is doubtful.

Valencia Team News

Santi Mina will be afforded a rare start up-front for Valencia but is a capable replacement for the suspended Simone Zaza. There will be a late decision made on Ezequiel Garay but the centre-back position has been well looked after by Ruben Vezo in his absence. Javi Jiménez, Jeison Murillo and Gonçalo Guedes are all out injured for the visitors.

Eibar v Valencia Predictions

Eibar’s form is up and down but they have won their last two home matches, so will be hoping to cause an upset here. However, they were shot-shy in the draw at Getafe and the feeling is that they will need to get on the scoresheet to get anything out of this game.

Valencia came off worse on their trip to the capital, losing 1-0 away to Getafe before overcoming Celta Vigo who had previously beaten Eibar three games back. That defeat looks like nothing more than a blip for Los Ches, who will be confident of getting a result here.

Eibar have scored at least twice in their last three home matches but were out of ideas against Getafe and Valencia have defended well on their travels lately. The visitors have lost just once in their last fifteen La Liga matches and are tipped to come out on top in this one.
