Preview | With hope and intention to Las Palmas

UD Las Palmas - SD Eibar (Estadio de Gran Canaria; Sunday, October 19, 9:00 PM)

Without pressure or burdens, only with excitement and good intentions, SD Eibar will present itself this weekend at the Estadio de Gran Canaria with the goal of taking three points from UD Las Palmas on their home turf. Even without having secured a victory away from Ipurua, the team distances itself from the conventional approaches that often accompany the pursuit of success and prefers to focus on something that has been present in all their outings: the competitiveness of the group and the football displayed in each match. With these strengths, and with the reintegration of key players into Beñat San José's plans, the second-best home team in the category will seek one of the great challenges of LaLiga HyperMotion at the home of the team with the fewest goals conceded: conquering the rival's territory.

Currently in playoff positions, UD Las Palmas has managed to capitalize on their eight goals scored and five conceded in the nine matches played, which has allowed them to rise to fifth place in the standings with 15 points. The Canary Islands team arrives after a goalless draw against Granada, a narrow victory over Cádiz in front of their fans, and a home loss to UD Almería.

Meanwhile, Beñat San José's Eibar will face the trip after a draw with Castellón at Ipurua, a narrow loss in Ceuta, and another draw with Deportivo at home. These three weeks without securing a full three points have transformed frustration and burden into excitement and positivity, with the aim of turning around a situation that contrasts with the good feelings conveyed on the field.

To achieve this in one of the major venues of the category (the second largest in capacity after Riazor), the Basque coach regains Buta and Corpas after they served their suspensions. However, he laments the loss of Sergio Cubero, who will remain sidelined for the entire season following the severe head injury he suffered last weekend.
