THE PREDICTION
Eibar’s relegation last season was something that had been an inevitability since their promotion in the mid-2010s, simply because of the size of their club. Therefore promotion at the first attempt was never a foregone conclusion but former Athletic manager Gaizka Garitano will have expected to start their campaign better than this. The Basque side did earn a 1-0 away win at newly-promoted Burgos but that came after back-to-back defeats against Huesca and Ponferradina. They come up against losing playoff semi-finalists from last season Leganes. The visitors had the second best home record in the division last season but struggled on the road but that struggle has been replicated at home this season, too. They have collected just one point so far this season and that came at home to newly-promoted ten man Burgos; a disappointing draw sandwiched between two defeats against two of the other newly-promoted sides in Real Sociedad B and Ibiza. Eibar will fully expect to make it back-to-back wins here.
