SD Eibar are aiming for a third consecutive victory in LaLiga Hypermotion when they visit CD Eldense this Saturday. The Basque side arrives in high spirits after beating Granada (3-0) and Andorra (1-0) in their last two matches.
Eibar sit comfortably in the table with ten points from a possible fifteen, thanks to three wins, one draw and just one defeat. Their goal, defended by Jon Magunagoitia, is the joint least beaten in the category, having conceded only three goals in five games. In attack, Jon Guruzeta leads the squad with three goals.
Eldense, meanwhile, are having a tough start to the season. The Alicante-based team has just four points and finds itself in the relegation zone. Their main issue is a lack of goals, averaging 0.63 per game, the lowest in the league. Their goalkeeper, Ramon Vila, has made the most saves with 20.
The pre-match numbers show two opposing styles of play. Eibar is a team that commits fewer fouls (10.25 per game) but faces more shots on target (17.69 on average). Eldense, in contrast, is more aggressive in marking (12.06 fouls per match) and keeps possession better, with nearly 400 passes per game. Iván Gil, with nine total assists, is Eibar's main playmaker, while captain Arbilla makes the most passes per match (56.2).
Eibar manager Joséba Etxeberria highlighted the importance of maintaining the defensive concentration that has brought them good results. "Solidity at the back gives us peace of mind to grow in attack," the coach explained. The team faces this match without the injured full-back Quique, forcing an adjustment to the starting eleven. All information on the squad and their fitness is available in the squad section.
After the match in Elda, Eibar will return to Ipurua to face Albacete, in a segment of the calendar that could be decisive for cementing their promotion aspirations. The upcoming opponents and schedules can be found on the fixtures list. The match against Eldense will be played at the Nuevo Pepico Amat and is scheduled for 18:30.
