Eibar and Real Oviedo go head-to-head at the Municipal de Ipurua in round 20 of the Segunda Division on Sunday (December 11).
The visitors will head into the weekend looking to get one over Alvaro Cervera's side, having failed to win the last six meetings between the two teams since 2011.
Eibar continued their hunt for an automatic promotion spot with a 2-1 win at Burgos on Thursday. That followed a 2-1 win over Huesca on December 4, which snapped their four-game winless run in the league.
With 33 points from 19 games, Eibar are fourth in the standings, two points off leaders Las Palmas.
Meanwhile, Oviedo were denied a third win on the bounce last time out, as they were held to a goalless draw by ten-man Las Palmas.
They are unbeaten in six games on the bounce, claiming four wins and two draws since a 2-1 loss to Villarreal B on November 2. With 24 points from 19 games, Oviedo are 14th in the standings but could move level on points with eighth-placed FC Andorra with all three points this weekend.
