Command Analysis

Eibar

Current form
The team from Eibar is playing worse this season than last year, but the championship started not so long ago and the whole fight is still ahead. Let see if Eibar can improve its game and try to fight for promotion to Primera again at the end of the season. In the last Segunda draw, the team reached the playoffs, but lost in the first round to Oviedo. The team has won only three victories in the last 10 matches in all tournaments, beating Ferrol (2:0), Cadiz and Eldense (1:0). Joseba Etxeberria charges have recently started to show boring football and this does not affect the team results. With such a game, it will be extremely difficult for the team to get to the playoffs, which is what loyal fans and the coaching staff of the club are counting on. As a result, the team scored 21 points and took 16th place in the standings, five points behind the TOP-6.
