Overview: Real Sociedad II sits 13th in the Segunda División, demonstrating average form throughout the season with 11 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. [9, 28] Their home form is respectable, with 7 wins from 16 matches at Anoeta Stadium. [2, 9] However, their recent results have been inconsistent, including a 0-2 loss to Granada in their last match. [1, 25] They have a tendency to be involved in high-scoring games, averaging 1.42 goals scored and 1.39 conceded per match. [1, 9]

Tactical Notes: Real Sociedad II has shown they can be potent in attack, as evidenced by a recent 4-2 win over Castellon, but they also display defensive frailties, such as in a 2-3 loss to Deportivo de La Coruna. [11] Their matches often see goals from both sides, suggesting an open style of play. They will need to tighten their defense to handle Eibar's attack while leveraging their home advantage.

Overview: Eibar is currently 8th in the league standings, showing good overall form with 12 wins, 9 draws, and 10 losses. [17, 18, 28] Their strength lies in their home performance, but they have struggled significantly on the road, securing only 2 wins in 15 away fixtures. [2, 18] Despite their poor away record, their recent form is solid, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 5 matches, including a 1-0 away victory against FC Andorra. [1, 12] Defensively, they are sound, conceding less than a goal per game on average this season. [1]

Tactical Notes: Eibar's recent success has been built on a solid defense, conceding just 0.4 goals per match in their last 5 outings. [1] Their primary challenge is improving their goal-scoring record away from home, where they average only 0.5 goals per game. [2] Their strategy will likely involve maintaining defensive solidity and exploiting scoring opportunities on the counter-attack against a Real Sociedad II side that can be defensively vulnerable.
