Preview | Cup debut in Haro
SD Eibar begins its journey in the KO tournament against Náxara CF on Wednesday at 8:00 PM at the Municipal Luis de la Fuente in La Rioja.
Náxara CD - SD Eibar (Luis de la Fuente Municipal Sports Stadium; Wednesday, October 29, 8:00 PM)
Sociedad Deportiva Eibar will pause its journey in LaLiga Hypermotion this Wednesday to begin its adventure in the Copa del Rey. The draw held on October 10 at the Luis Aragonés Hall in the City of Football paired the armero team with Náxara CD, from the Segunda Federación, in the first round of the tournament. After ruling out the options of La Salera and Las Gaunas, the match will finally take place at the Luis de la Fuente Municipal Stadium in Haro, starting at 8:00 PM.
After earning a point in their last league match (0-0 against CD Leganés at Ipurua), SD Eibar approaches the Copa match as an opportunity to get back on track after a winless October. The performances shown and the various tactical approaches offered in recent games have not translated into the expected results. Therefore, the first round of the Copa presents an ideal chance to relieve pressure and regain positive momentum.
Additionally, Beñat San José could use the match to give playing time to less regular players looking to prove themselves and gain prominence in the league, as well as to observe players from the academy. Eibar, known for its versatility and depth of resources, will have a good opportunity to rotate without losing competitiveness.
On the other side, they will face Náxara CD, which competes in Group II of the Segunda RFEF, the same category as Eibar's reserve team. The team from La Rioja arrives after two consecutive defeats (0-2 against Basconia and Utebo), results that have placed them in 16th position with 6 points, the result of one win and three draws. Despite this, the excitement of facing a higher-category opponent and the motivation to advance in the Copa will make the match an unpredictable and demanding challenge for the armero team.
