Match Facts
SD Eibar:
- The "armeros" want to make good the three points earned in Granada winning on their ground, starting on the right foot in front of their fans in the first Basque derby of the season in Liga BBVA.
- New faces of the team appear to have fallen standing: to the good performance of Luna in defense must be added two newcomers such Adrian and Escalante. "We have given sense to the team, which is important," said Mendilibar at the end of his last game.
- Ipurua will record an unprecedented entry through the extension of the north grandstand whose works are completed this week. Eibar gets to expand its stadium seating capacity from 5,250 to 6,300 spectators.
Athletic Club:
- Valverde's team, after their league defeat against FC Barcelona, wants to score their first points of the present course. Athletic was able to win at Ipurua 0-1 last year.
- The "Leones" face this clash in a confident mood after securing qualification for the group stage of the UEFA Europa League after overcoming an adverse first leg 3-2.
- The collection of official matches that the Basque team has played this August (eight in total) can make that Valverde give rest to some of the players who have been more used to the detriment of other men of the squad.
