Eibar head into their sixth Segunda División match against Eldense this Saturday in excellent form, having won their last four league games. The fixture will take place at the Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat at 16:30 UTC.
The Basque side currently sit second in the table with 12 points, just one behind leaders Castellón. Their most recent performance was a commanding 0-4 away win against Celta de Vigo II, with goals from Jon Magunazelaia, Malcom Ares and a brace from Jon Guruzeta. This positive run, which also includes victories over Granada, Andorra and Valladolid, stands in contrast to Eldense's start to the season; the hosts are 16th with just one win from their opening five matches.
Eibar's manager may well stick with the starting lineup that delivered last weekend, featuring Jon Mikel in goal and a back four of Sergio Cubero, M. Arana, Unai Elgezabal and Anaitz Arbilla. Aleix Garrido and Ander Madariaga would provide the midfield base, with Malcom Adu, Jon Magunazelaia and Jon Guruzeta supporting striker Jon Bautista in attack.
