"Falling to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Huesca, Los Armeros have mustered just four points from their first three Segunda appearances this season. Despite mustering nine points from their final four second-tier showdowns prior to the summer interval, Eibar have struggled to find any real defensive stability. Mustering just a single clean sheet from any of their last five matchups against Segunda opposition, they have also failed to register consecutive clean sheets since the middle of March."
"Not featuring since the end of February, academy graduate Anderlecht Madariaga remains on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury. Bagging what turned out to be a consolation strike last week as he opened his Segunda account, summer recruit Jon Magunazelaia Argoitia will keep his spot leading the line. Completing a permanent switch from Barcelona ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, Aleix Garrido will start in the middle of the park."
Eibar finished the 2024/25 season 11 points outside the play-off places and aim for a stronger promotion push this campaign. The side won 3-0 against Granada but lost 2-1 to Huesca, collecting four points from three Segunda matches. Eibar have recorded only one clean sheet in five recent Segunda fixtures and have not kept consecutive clean sheets since mid-March. Anaitz Arbilla is suspended after a straight red and Anderlecht Madariaga remains out with a long-term knee injury. Jon Magunazelaia Argoitia and Aleix Garrido are established starters. Andorra have returned to the Segunda and enjoyed a sensational start to the 2025/26 campaign. Betting markets indicate an expectation of over 1.5 goals.
