Match Facts:
Eibar (6th, 6 pts):
- After kicking off their campaign by losing to RC Deportivo, Jose Luis Mendilibar's men have bounced back and won each of their last two games. Pedro Leon's goal earned his team the points against Valencia CF and the midfielder was on cue again in the 2-1 victory away to Granada CF, although it was Sergi Enrich's last-gasp effort that secured the spoils on that occasion.
- Eibar are yet to beat Sevilla, home or away, since gaining promotion to the top flight. Where meetings at Ipurua are concerned, the Andalusians prevailed 3-1 on their penultimate visit to the stadium, in 2014/15, while the corresponding fixture last term finished 1-1.
- The Basques are undefeated in their last four home games in LaLiga Santander. If they extend that run to five, they will set a new club record at this level.
Sevilla (2nd, 7 pts):
- Jorge Sampaoli's side are one of just four teams that remain unbeaten in LaLiga Santander this term. What's more, they could move top of the table – at least provisionally – if they win at Ipurua, as Real Madrid – who are currently two points clear – don't play until Sunday.
