Eibar looking for their first win and Real Sociedad, continue undefeated

[Askor lml]

The armored team and the txuri-urdin team will face each other today, at 22:00 hours, in Ipurua. They will play the first Basque derby of the season.

 

Eibar want to resuscitate and need at least add in the Basque derby against a Real Sociedad undefeated in the first two days, but has never managed to win in the league in Ipurua. The gunsmiths need a good result to eliminate the zero of their locker and return to add hopes, sensations and moral, while the Donostiarras face their third consecutive start and could sign a great start of the season if they achieve victory.

The injury of Pedro Leon has also been a hard blow for Eibar, a team that needs all the optimism of the world in its worst league start since joining the First Division, with two defeats. The march of Gálvez and the arrival of the Argentinian De Blasis have been today the most remarkable news, and do not rule out even more arrivals and departures.

Guessing the intentions of Mendilibar is complicated, considering that the team that has ridden so far has not worked, and that there are men like Bigas, Cardona or Sergio Álvarez who knock on the door, although the midfield seems immovable with Diop and Escalante. The possible return of Orellana is perhaps the best news in the attack area of Eibar, which will probably play with Hervías in the other wing and with Enrich and Charles in tip, since Kike García suffers a breakage of fibers and will be low during the next three weeks.

The Real Sociedad, which presents the casualties of Adnan Januzaj, Diego Llorente and goalkeeper Miguel Ángel Moyá, in addition to the retired Imanol Agirretxe, has only won in Eibar in the Cup and in the Second Division and his coach, Asier Garitano, has not won either. Eibar in the four games he led with his previous team, Leganés. Mikel Merino, who has suffered neck problems throughout the week, is also doubtful.

The qualifying situation of the realists is not a reflection of football either, as it has given many and clear chances to their rivals but the bad aim and also the good work of Gero Rulli in goal has avoided major evils to date.

Both teams met in the preseason in an equal and intense clash that took the Real by two goals to three, a result that would sign now, although leaving his goal to zero is the blue and white pending subject.

La Real has already conceded three goals in the first two games of LaLiga but also fit in all their preseason games, so everything indicates that they must make at least one goal to not leave empty once again of Eibar.

It does not seem that it will be full in Ipurúa, although it is colorful on the part of both hobbies, since the arrival of a good number of realistic fans is expected to enjoy the first derby of the season.

Eibar: Dmitrovic; Rubén Peña, Arbilla, Bigas, Cote; Orellana, Diop, Escalante, Hervías, Charles and Enrich.
