Two of the strongest teams in the category meet this Saturday in Ipurua. A crash that, in First would have been to avoid relegation, turns into a duel of the titans. Of course, neither of the two teams has started the season as expected.
The pepineros have only added one point to date, despite having deserved more, while Eibar beat Burgos last day thus adding their first three points in the championship. Ipurua with an audience must be player number 12 ahead of a game that is clearly expected to be difficult for both contestants, and that the spectators will surely enjoy. A local victory would move Eibar away from a direct rival and bring it closer to an area more in line with its quality, while three visiting points would represent in the standings the good game shown so far by Leganés.

Leganés has been put on an emergency face. In Butarque they insist that it is not a crisis, but nerves sprout in each gesture of an entity that begins to move away from the calm model that reigned in his success. Now everything is tension. And criticism. Uncertainty as a result of having scratched only one point out of nine possible with a poor image despite being a candidate for promotion. Garitano (Asier) says that the closing of the market, putting an end to the uncertainty of the workforce, will help. But it takes time for pieces to fit together. The last three (Pardo, Bruno, Randjelovic) could debut on the list and even in the eleven, case of the first. Things of casualties due to the FIFA virus. Omeruo, Bárcenas and Gaku will not play due to injury. Rober Correa is out at Eibar. The Lega is only worth not losing and giving better feelings. Quite the contrary, it would trigger tension south of the capital.
