Eibar vs Deportivo Alavés match preview

These two clubs ended the Segunda División season level on 71 points, so there’s unlikely to be very little between them in this two-legged play-off.

Eibar won promotion to La Liga for the first time ever in 2014, spending seven years in the top-flight before suffering relegation in 2021.

12 months ago, los Armagiñak finished third in the Segunda, before being dumped out at this stage of the play-offs by Girona.

Last weekend, Gaizka Garitano’s team beat Huesca on the final day of the season, thereby settling for a fifth place finish.

Ahead of the second leg on Thursday in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Eibar will be desperate to claim a first leg lead.

Deportivo Alavés meantime are seeking an immediate return to La Liga, having finished rock bottom last time round.

This’ll be Alavés’ first play-off campaign for 12 years, remaining rooted in the third-tier following a defeat at the hands of Lugo back then.

During this league season, these two clubs played out a goalless draw in the Basque County, before Alavés won 2-0 at Mendizorrotza in February.

In short, this tie is extremely tough to call, so can Eibar make home advantage count in the first leg at Ipurúa?
