Eibar will host Athletic Club this Sunday at 7 pm in the Copa del Rey round of 16. Joseba Etxeberria, manager of Sociedad Deportiva Eibar, believes that the Copa del Rey tie against Athletic will be complicated, but he has faith that the armeros will have options to advance. In a press conference, Etxeberria has assured that they are facing the match with a lot of excitement because there will be a great atmosphere at Ipurua and they are facing a great team that is in a good moment. Eibar has lost only one match at home in the first half and it was unfairly against Leganés, current leader of the Liga Hypermotion. Etxeberria has recalled that at home they are strong and will try to make a great single-match tie. They know that Athletic is the favorite, but if they give their best level, they will complicate things for them. As time goes by, Etxeberria has recognized that for him it will be a special match given his red-and-white past, remembering that he has been fifteen seasons as a player at Athletic. The armero manager has added that these are special days due to the great atmosphere and hopefully, together, they can eliminate one of the favorites to win the Copa del Rey. The match will be played at Ipurua, a stadium that is always an important factor for Eibar. A victory would be a great boost for the team and its fans. Etxeberria has said he is aware that the tie is a single match and that they will give everything to advance. Athletic is a very strong team, but Eibar has its own strategy to try to win. The Copa del Rey is a very special tournament and Eibar wants to make history. The team is ready to face the challenge and make the most of this opportunity.
