Match Facts:
Eibar (8th, 51 pts):
- A couple of disappointing results in Basque derbies – defeat to Athletic Club and a draw with D. Alaves – have dented Eibar's hopes of qualifying for Europe. Beating Leganes, who held them 1-1 in the reverse fixture at Butarque, is a must to keep the dream alive.
- Nine of Jose Luis Mendilibar's side's 14 LaLiga Santander victories to date this term have come in their own backyard, illustrating just how comfortable they feel in front of the Ipurua faithful. They will be itching to claim a 10th home league win of the campaign this matchday.
Leganes (17th, 30 pts):
- While Eibar are longing for a European adventure, Leganes are seeking survival. Asier Garitano's men will be gunning for another three points to climb further away from the drop zone. Last matchday's victory over UD Las Palmas took the Madrilenians closer to safety, as well as ending a seven-game winless streak.
- "We head to Eibar full of enthusiasm and we're going to give our all," stressed Garitano at his pre-match press conference.
