Eibar
- Benat San Jose’s energy and enthusiasm has really rubbed off on Eibar since he took over as manager in February 2025.
- The key components to Eibar’s success have been the brisk tempo and aggressive pressing that they play at, the ability to quickly transition from defending to attacking and vice versa, and the way they try to overpower the opponent by creating wide overloads.
- Javier Marton is Eibar’s top scorer with five goals in 16 league appearances so far this season and will again be their most likely goal threat.
- Eibar have enjoyed better results at home than away this term, winning five, drawing three and losing two of their ten league games at the Ipurua.
Mirandes
- Mirandes have lost their last two games, falling to a 3-1 away defeat to Castellon and a 1-2 home defeat to Cordoba in LaLiga 2.
- Jesus Galvan has certainly tightened up Mirandes’ defence and made them a more compact and easier to watch team since his appointment in November 2025.
- Carlos Fernandez, who has scored eight goals in 17 appearances in the Spanish second-tier and is in the form of his life at the moment, is Mirandes’ greatest weapon on the break and will be looking to add to the two goals he has scored in their last three games.
Head-to-Head
- Both teams are averaging just 0.5 goals per game over the last five head-to-head meetings played at Eibar.
- Eibar have the home advantage and have been superior to Mirandes in LaLiga 2 this season.
