Eibar will face Racing de Ferrol at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 La Liga 2 campaign. The home side have endured a poor run of results this season and are losing ground in the race for the promotion playoffs as they sit 13th in the table with 18 points from 14 matches.
They were beaten 1-0 by Deportivo La Coruna last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a point before their opponents scored a late winner to compound pressure on head coach Joseba Etxeberria.
Racing de Ferrol have struggled for results this campaign after last season's exploits and now find themselves in the drop zone. They were beaten 2-1 by league leaders Racing de Santander in their last match, finding themselves two goals down at the break before Eneko Jauregi scored a second-half consolation goal.
The visitors sit 20th in the league table with just 12 points from 13 matches and will be desperate for a positive result this weekend.
