Looking to extend on their remarkable run of form and find a route into the play-off places, Andorra will travel to the Basque Country on Monday night when they meet Eibar.
Eibar
Starting with the hosts, eventually left frustrated last season as they eventually finished the 2024/25 campaign sat 11 points adrift of the play-off places, Eibar is desperate to mount a genuine promotion charge this time around. However, despite signing off August with a stellar 3-0 romp against Granada, Benar San Jose’s squad came immediately crashing back down to earth last time out. Falling to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Huesca, Los Armeros have mustered just four points from their first three Segunda appearances this season. Despite mustering nine points from their final four second-tier showdowns prior to the summer interval, Eibar have struggled to find any real defensive stability. Mustering just a single clean sheet from any of their last five matchups against Segunda opposition, they have also failed to register consecutive clean sheets since the middle of March.
Eibar Team News
Shown a last-gasp straight red card away at Huesca last week, veteran defender Anaitz Arbilla will miss out through suspension here. Not featuring since the end of February, academy graduate Anderlecht Madariaga remains on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury.
Bagging what turned out to be a consolation strike last week as he opened his Segunda account, summer recruit Jon Magunazelaia Argoitia will keep his spot leading the line. Completing a permanent switch from Barcelona ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, Aleix Garrido will start in the middle of the park.
Andorra
As for the visitors, while Andorra might have only made their famous Segunda return this season, the second-tier newcomers have enjoyed a sensational start. Flying out of the traps since opening up the 2025/26 campaign and rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from up and down the county, there is no doubt that the mood in Ibai Gomez’s camp is at a red-hot high. Last seen in Segunda action collecting a 2-1 win at home against Burgos, the Tricolours have registered seven points from their first three appearances and they know that they can skyrocket themselves into the play-off places here. Making a heavyweight statement on August 23rd as they stormed their way to a 3-1 romp away at Zaragoza, Monday’s guests are more than capable of asking some serious questions when they travel to the Basque Country here.
Andorra Team News
Yet to make a single Segunda appearance so far this season and struggling to find any real stability after arriving from Barcelona last year, Josep Cerda remains on the sidelines and will not play any part on Monday night.
Making an immediate impact after arriving from Ibiza this summer, 22-year-old Marc Domenech will start in the middle of the park and could play a leading role. Former Celta Vigo youngster Gael Alonso will start at the heart of Gomez’s defence.
Eibar vs Andorra Key Factors to Consider
- When Eibar and Andorra last met back in April 2024, Monday’s hosts collected a 2-0 victory at the Estadi Nacional.
- Including consecutive Segunda victories, Andorra have registered seven points from their first three appearances.
- Los Armeros have recorded just a single clean sheet from their previous five Segunda appearances continuing on from last season.
- Likewise, Eibar have failed to register consecutive Segunda clean sheets since the middle of March.
- Andorra’s first three Segunda showdowns have produced nine goals at both ends of the pitch.
Conclusion
While Andorra might travel to the Basque Country on Monday night pencilled in as a major underdog contender, the Tricolours are more than capable of asking some serious questions here. Mustering seven points from their first three Segunda appearances, the second-tier newcomers have come flying out of the traps in an impressive fashion. Last seen on their travel cruising their way to a stellar 3-1 victory away at Zaragoza, Andorra will be confident of testing an Eibar defence that has shown some extended inconstancies on either side of the summer break. With Monday’s guests seeing their first three Segunda showdowns produce nine goals at both ends of the pitch, a result of over 1.5 strikes can be found at generous odds.
