Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Eibar is 6.94, compared to 6.94 for Malaga. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Eibar's highest-rated starter is Anaitz Arbilla (7.12), while Malaga's best-rated player is David Larrubia (7.31).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Eibar have contributed 19 goals and 13 assists this season, led by Jon Bautista (6G). Malaga's starters account for 15 goals and 10 assists, spearheaded by David Larrubia (9G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Eibar deploy 4 defenders rated 6.97 on average, against Malaga's 4-man backline averaging 6.83. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Eibar field 5 midfielders averaging 7.00, versus Malaga's 4 rated 6.85. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Eibar start 1 forward(s) averaging 6.65, compared to 2 for Malaga averaging 7.31. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 75% for Eibar and 81% for Malaga. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Eibar's starters have collected 33 yellow cards this season, compared to 34 for Malaga. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Eibar's starting XI is 30.0 (youngest: Jonmi Magunagoitia (25), oldest: Anaitz Arbilla (38)), while Malaga average 26.6 (youngest: David Larrubia (23), oldest: Alfonso Herrero (31)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Eibar's starters average 33 league appearances each, versus 27 for Malaga. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
