INTRODUCTION

Eibar will welcome the visit of Huesca and this is their first match in La Liga since gaining promotion last season. The bookmakers are expecting both teams to be fighting against relegation this season, but time and time again Eibar has proved them wrong as last season they did well to stay in La Liga finishing in the middle of the standings. last season Huesca played very well in the Segunda division, but playing in La Liga will be a whole new challenge for them.



EIBAR

Eibar is starting their fifth season in La Liga and once again their aim is to stay for yet another season in the top flight. Time and time again they surprised many and last seaosn was no different as they finished in mid table position. However this season they have to start all over again and now the beginning of the season will be vital as they usually start playing better in the spring. They kept faith with coach Mendilibar for yet another season, but they were not able to keep hold of all of their players. They lost the services of Japanese Inui, as well as Capa and Dani Garcia. They also sold center-back Lejeune to Newcastle in the Premier League in England. They have bought the contratcs of players such as Hervias and Bebe, while the acquisition of midfielder S.Alvarez is their biggest boost for them. As for the team news, only S.Alvarez is expected to start this match, while the likes of while Ramis, Galvez and Pedro Leon is out with minor injuries.



HUESCA

Huesca is starting their journey in La Liga and they will certainly want to emulate the achievements of Eibar who has managed to stay in La Liga for years now. They will not have it easy but crucially for them will be the first few matches at the start of the season. They have made many changes which is expected as they needed to strengthen their team to play in La Liga. It remains to be seen if it is strong enough to keep them for this season though. Some of their departures was because their loan deals had expired, and they brouyght in Turkish offensive player from Osmanlispor, Serdar Gurler. Considering that he has just arrived he is not likely to start this match. However the others who came in is likely to start and they are the likes of Miramon, Etxeit and Luisinh, as well as goalkeeper Werner. Midfielder Musto could also start as well as striker Longo. Despite some good results they recorded in prepation for the start of the season, it remains to be seen how will their new players gel as a team.



PAST MEETINGS

They have met twice in their history and that happened ten years ago and Eibar won by 2-0 when they hosted.
