Moved to the relegation spots for the first time after the first defeat conceded at home against Zaragoza (1-2) and the painful defeat … suffered in Santander (4-0), Eibar has imposed itself on the obligation to achieve against the newly promoted Cultural Leonesa the reaction it needs to begin to escape from the danger zone.
Those from Beñat San José have to do their best at the start of a very compressed month of December, in which, in addition to having to carry out a complicated visit to Córdoba next Saturday and receive Valladolid on Friday the 19th, with the emergence in between of a third round of the Copa del Rey in which they will receive a First team in Ipurua after successfully eliminating Pontevedra (0-3).
A cup hope that Cultural Leonesa also arrives with after also eliminating Andorra with relative comfort (4-2), and with the memory of the 2-3 that they signed in their last visit to Ipurua in 2011, when both teams were in Second B just before the Leonese found their bones in Third.
Plenty of alternatives
A good part of the trajectory that has allowed the Castilian squad to climb positions to twelfth place, which it occupies with three points more than the armeros, is its remarkable dynamic away from the Kingdom of León, where it has won four times, scoring 13 goals, only four less than the Barça team has scored all season.
With all that in mind, the San Sebastian coach could be considering the possibility of recovering his initial system with four defenders, although the main question is who will be chosen to occupy a left back in which he has already tried five different players.
Although Buta returned to recover some of the sensations he left at the beginning of the championship, it seems that San José prefers to bet on the experience of Arbilla to cover that flank, so Nolaskoain aims to repeat in the axis of the defense alongside Marco Moreno.
And, although unlike what happens with Jair and
The alternatives are skyrocketing for the Barça coach from the three-quarter line onwards, where he has Magunazelaia demanding his return to the eleven after giving two assists and scoring the third goal that sealed the tie against Pontevedra, but when playing the entire match it seems difficult for him to start.
And he has a fresher Guruzeta who did not play in Pasarón, as well as Corpas and Adu Ares already recovered, eager to start giving the much that the gunsmith coach expects from him.
And above, the doubt also arises as to whether Martón will repeat at the top after having scored his second goal in the Cup and the seventh since he signed for Eibar, or if he will restore the confidence of Bautista who, no matter how hard he tries, has been denied a goal in the league competition since he scored the only goal he has in the Guipuzcoan derby against Real B on September 21.
