Match Preview: Eibar vs Eldense
The "Armourers" played in La Liga from 2014 to 2021 and have been consistently trying to return to the top flight. Last season, they finished 3rd in the regular Segunda standings, just one point behind Valladolid and three behind Leganés, but they were eliminated in the playoffs by Oviedo in their very first matchup. For Eldense, last season marked their first time in the Segunda since the mid-1960s, and their 16th place finish was a remarkable success for a team that had climbed two divisions in consecutive years.
This summer, Eibar kept coach Etxeberria but saw the departure of nearly 20 players. They sold Berrocal to Getafe for €2.2 million, which allowed them to bring in key signings like Fusato, Arambarri, Puertas, Hashimoto, and several others. Eldense, on the other hand, did not undergo such significant changes, though they strengthened by signing players who had left other Segunda clubs, and added Grigore from Dinamo Bucharest.
Hoseba's squad started well, living up to their status as favorites by alternating between wins and draws. However, they suffered a loss at the end of September, falling 0-1 away to Oviedo, and then followed it up with a 1-3 defeat at home to Sporting Gijón. Eldense, meanwhile, has been inconsistent, mixing wins, draws, and losses but steadily accumulating points. They even beat Cádiz on the road, though they stumbled at home, losing 2-3 to Castellón.
Possible Starting Lineups
Eibar (possible lineup): Fusato – Elgezabal, Arbilla, Arambarri, Corpas – Mateus Pereira, Nolaskoain, Puertas, Susaeta, Alcaín – Bautista
Eldense (possible lineup): Mackay – Mateu, Magaña, Dumic, Gámez – Camarasa, Carreras, Víctor García, Díaz, Chapela – Nacho Quintana
