Surprise team SD Eibar (4-2-4, 16 points) is set to challenge struggling squad Getafe CF (3-6-1, 10 points) at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua this Saturday, November 7th as the 2015-2016 La Liga season carries on.
Eibar, who finished last season at the 18th spot and almost relegated if not for an administrative relegation by Elche CF, is making the most of their second chance this season by staying unbeaten in five of their last six games.
Their most recent outing was a 1-0 escape over Rayo Vallecano at their home stadium of Ipurua on November 1st courtesy of an own goal from Los Franjirrojos defender Diego Llorente at the 21st minute, as per ESPN.
Both teams struggled offensively during the game and Armagiñak just managed to catch a lucky break with the Vallecans' error.
Meanwhile, Getafe is still trying to look for any sort of momentum this season after they lost their second straight match against powerhouse team FC Barcelona, 0-2, last Saturday at their home turf of Coliseum Alfonso Perez, as reported by SkySports.
El Geta was no match for their more illustrious visitors as global football superstars Luis Suárez and Neymar scored goals in each half to bury Fran Escribá's men.
Azulones would want to move up the standings to avoid relegation and this match against Eibar is perhaps one of their best chances. However, José Luis Mendilibar's squad is on a roll right now and it looks like they will handily take out El Geta this weekend.
The prediction is Eibar over Getafe, 2-0.
Eibar starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Riesgo; Capa, Dos Santos, Echaide, Junca; Carrillo, Escalante; Mauri, Verdi, Saul; Borja
Getafe starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Guaita; Suarez, Vergini, Alexis, Lago; Leon, J. Rodriguez, Meira, V. Rodriguez; Sarabia, Scepovic
