La Romareda, a fortress against Eibar

One of the most exciting games of matchday 33 of the Liga Adelante will be held at the La Romareda Stadium. SD Eibar visit Real Zaragoza aiming to maintain the top spot, which they have occupied for eight weeks on the trot. Another ingredient in this clash will be the home team’s need to score points, as they are sitting just two above the relegation zone.

Victor Muñoz’s side have failed to win in nine league games. The Zaragoza boss knows that his team have to front up to their opponents this Sunday: “Beating Eibar would be a good reward for our hard work, and set us up for the nine remaining matches”.

The armeros, meanwhile, go into the game off the back of a draw against FC Barcelona B (0-0). They also have another factor that goes against them, which is that in the five encounters held between the two teams at the Aragonese city, the visitors have failed to secure a single victory, giving Gaizka Garitano’s side added motivation. “We are under a lot of pressure and I want us to be. We’re faced with the challenge of wanting to remain in the top spots”, said the Basque manager.
