SD Eibar host Mallorca at Estadio Municipal de Ipurúa on October 17, 2026, in a La Liga 2 meeting between two sides near the top of the table. Eibar are second after winning seven of their first nine league matches, although a 3-1 defeat to Real Oviedo ended a run of seven consecutive victories. Fourth-placed Mallorca arrive after a 3-1 win over Las Palmas and have lost just once in their last seven games. The contrast is clear: Eibar have been the more prolific team, while Mallorca have built their campaign on conceding very little. That makes this a significant test of both Eibar’s attacking consistency and Mallorca’s defensive record.

SD Eibar’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Eibar have seven wins, no draws and two defeats from nine La Liga 2 fixtures. They average 2.1 goals scored and 1.1 conceded per match across the season. Their recent scoring rate has been higher still: in their last five games, they have won four and lost one while averaging 2.6 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. Eibar have also scored at least once in each of their last 16 league matches, a run that underlines the attacking challenge facing Mallorca.

The seven-match winning streak began after a 3-1 opening defeat against Tenerife. It included victories over Valladolid, Andorra and Granada, followed by a 4-0 win away to Celta de Vigo B. Eibar then beat Eldense, Las Palmas and Albacete before the loss to Oviedo. That most recent match was open, and although Eibar were beaten 3-1, they produced 18 shots and 1.93 expected goals. The result stopped their run of wins without erasing the evidence of their attacking threat.

Several players have contributed to that output. Iván Gil, who scored against Oviedo, has three goals and one assist this season. Jon Guruzeta has three goals and two assists, while Adu Ares has supplied two goals and three assists. Ander Madariaga has also registered two goals and two assists. Eibar’s results have tended to be decisive rather than drawn: they have not shared the points in their last 16 La Liga 2 matches. They have also led at half-time in seven of their last 11 home games in the competition.

Mallorca’s Recent Form and Key Stats

Mallorca have five wins, two draws and two defeats from their first nine league games. They average 1.2 goals scored and just 0.4 conceded per match, giving them a different profile from their hosts. Over their last five fixtures, Mallorca have recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat, again conceding an average of 0.4 goals. Their latest outing brought a 3-1 victory over Las Palmas, but their broader defensive record is the statistic most relevant to this trip.

Mallorca have conceded only four goals in nine league matches and have kept clean sheets in their last three away games. They have taken points in three of their four away fixtures so far. After an early 2-0 loss at Granada, they drew 0-0 with Eldense, won 1-0 at Real Sociedad B and drew 0-0 at Girona. Those results suggest they can remain competitive on the road even when goals are scarce.

The visitors do have players capable of making an impact in attack. Adrián Fuentes has five goals and one assist this season; against Las Palmas, he both scored and set up a goal. Álex Sala has two goals and two assists and also scored in that win, while Pablo Torre was on the scoresheet. Mallorca’s recent record therefore rests on more than clean sheets alone, even if their ability to limit chances remains their most striking strength.

SD Eibar vs Mallorca Match Analysis

The central question in this SD Eibar vs Mallorca preview is whether Eibar’s regular scoring can break through a defence that has conceded four times all season. Eibar’s 2.1 goals per league match and their 16-game scoring run make them difficult to dismiss after one defeat. At the same time, conceding 1.4 goals per match across their last five leaves room for Mallorca’s attackers to influence the contest. The visitors’ three successive away clean sheets offer a strong counterpoint to Eibar’s attacking numbers.

Recent head-to-head figures add another consideration without settling the outcome. From Eibar’s perspective, the supplied summary shows one win and four defeats against Mallorca, with averages of 1.0 goal scored and 1.4 conceded. Their last meeting ended 2-1 to Mallorca on January 5, 2022. This time, Eibar bring a strong league start and a clear scoring pattern into the fixture, while Mallorca arrive fourth, defensively consistent and fresh from victory. Eibar’s home advantage and greater goal output give them a case for a positive result, but Mallorca’s away record makes this far from straightforward.
