SD Eibar is navigating a busy week with a win under its belt and a key home fixture ahead, while its women's team prepares for a top-tier clash. According to ESPN Costa Rica, Jokin Aranbarri's side won 0-1 at FC Andorra on March 21st thanks to a 38th-minute goal from Peru Nolaskoain.
How is Eibar preparing to host the leaders?
The team is already training at Areitio for this weekend's match against Granada, the current Segunda División leaders. The club's official website, sdeibar.com, reported that preparations began after a second consecutive victory, a win at Andorra achieved even after playing with ten men from the 55th minute. With six points from the last two matchdays, Eibar currently sits eighth in the standings, just two points behind leaders Leganes.
Returning to Ipurua, a historic fortress in the division, will be key to trying to halt the unstoppable run of Pacheta's Granada. The team has scored three goals and conceded three in its first three league games. You can check the team's full progress on our stats page.
What challenge does the women's team face?
The SD Eibar women's team will face Real Madrid this Sunday at the Alfredo di Stéfano, according to a Europa Press report carried by notimexico.com.mx. The match is for the second round of the 2026-2027 Liga F Moeve. Madrid comes into the game after qualifying for the Champions League and winning the derby against Atlético, though they will be without suspended top scorer Felicia Schroder.
For Eibar, this duel is a chance to repeat the surprise of the 2024-2025 season, when they secured a 0-1 victory at the same ground. The visiting team will look to capitalize on any potential rotations in Real Madrid's starting eleven, as the hosts have a congested schedule.
