Overview
- Eibar, which faces Granada on Sunday, arrives at the match after wins at Sevilla and over Athletic that have pushed the team into the upper half of the Liga F table.
- Coach Iñaki Goikoetxea singled out the defence, noting the team has kept four clean sheets in five games and holds an eight-point cushion above relegation.
- A separate coach, Jokin Aranbarri, stressed the need for strict concentration and unchanged preparation as Eibar looks to maintain form before visiting Albacete after the break.
- One recent article reported a conflicting statistic of six straight wins and 18 points, a figure that conflicts with other coverage and coach comments and therefore appears to be a reporting or data error.
- The positive start follows a major summer squad rebuild and gives the club a chance to consolidate momentum and validate the overhaul during the coming international pause.
