Eibar used to play in La Liga, but now have to stay in the second division. Last season there was a good attempt to return to the Primera, but now the squad has become weaker and it will not be possible to achieve direct promotion, only playoffs remain.
Before the start of the current season Deportivo Eldense was considered a clear outsider in the championship. However, the team was able to refute these statements – for eight rounds the club scored 11 points. Eldense is not a contender for promotion, so this is an excellent result in the fight for survival.
Eibar players are twice as expensive as Deportivo Eldense players. Despite the fact that the clubs are almost level in the Segunda, this difference will be felt more and more with each new round. Also, the home field factor is one of the most important in the Spanish second division.
