2015 got off to the best possible start for Córdoba CF and SD Eibar. For the first time this season the Andalusians have been able to string two victories together and have also registered their first win on the road. Meanwhile, the Basques continue causing upsets during their maiden season in the Liga BBVA, and following their two triumphs, they have now climbed to eighth place with 26 points.
Squads
Córdoba will be without the injured Íñigo López and Luis Delgado 'Luso'. The latest change to Eibar coach Gaizka Garitano’s plans is the addition of Borja Fernández, a winter transfer window signing.
The managers' views
Miroslav Djukic talked about the key factors needed to compete in a game like this: "To compete with these kinds of teams you need to play with patience and wait for your moment to come, as they can dishearten sides with their ability to cut out space very well".
His counterpart in the other dugout, Garitano, pointed out the importance of the game: "They are direct rivals in terms of the relegation battle and there are more than three points up for grabs. I am treating this as a very important game. We are in good form, we head into this on the back of a win but we shouldn't get complacent. We always need to remind ourselves of who we are and where we came from".
