Eibar travel to the Municipal de Barreiro this Monday to face Celta de Vigo II in matchday 5 of Segunda División, with the Basque side sitting sixth in the Segunda División table on 9 points from a possible 12 after four games.
An inconsistent Celta reserve side
Celta de Vigo II arrive off the back of a 1-2 home defeat to Castellón on August 31, after beating FC Andorra 4-2 and drawing 0-0 away at Cádiz.
Eibar riding a three-game winning run
Gaizka Garitano has guided his squad to three straight wins, the latest a 3-0 victory over Granada CF on September 6, with goals from Iván Gil, Malcom Ares and Jon Guruzeta. The team has scored six goals and conceded just three, according to the club's season stats, sitting four points behind leaders Castellón.
Two absences in defence and midfield
The club has confirmed two absences for the fixture: defender Imanol García de Albéniz, sidelined with a thigh injury, and midfielder Sergio Álvarez, out with a muscle problem. Both, per the official data, are not expected back before September 30. The rest of Garitano's available squad can be checked in full.
After the trip to Barreiro, Eibar face a short break before travelling to face Eldense, 16th in the standings, on September 19, a match already listed on the club's fixtures page.
