Match Facts:
Real Sociedad (5th, 44 pts):
- The San Sebastian outfit have been in superb form on their own patch this term, picking up 23 out of 36 possible points in front of their fans. What's more, they have never lost to either Eibar or any team coached by Jose Luis Mendilibar at Anoeta.
- Eusebio Sacristan's men are eyeing payback after going down 2-0 at Ipurua in the reverse fixture. An Asier Illarramendi own goal and a Bebe piledriver settled the contest that day.
Eibar (7th, 38 pts):
- Having scored 14 goals in their last five games, Eibar are positively flying and they are raring to keep making history. They are currently on their highest-ever points tally at this stage of a LaLiga Santander campaign and if they can continue to play the way they have been, the dream scenario of qualifying for Europe may not be such a far-fetched one.
- "We want to be in the top 10 and we're not interested in the bottom half of the table. The remaining 14 games shouldn't spoil what we've done in the first 24," said Eibar coach Mendilibar in the build-up to the encounter.
