What They're Saying
Eibar manager Gaizka Garitano (via Inside Spanish Football): "There are ten games left and a victory would give us a lot. Each win from here on will give us air to breathe, while the defeats will push us closer to the drop. The point at Granada has loosened us up a little and hopefully we'll see that tomorrow."
Rayo Vallecano manager Paco Jemez (via Inside Spanish Football): "I know that a lack of good results can generate anxiety and pressure, but if we want to take advantage of that then we can't wait. The idea is to go for them and press them, so that they can't feel at ease."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Rayo Vallecano's Gael Kakuta has enjoyed a modicum of success this campaign. In 28 appearances, the 23-year-old has five goals and six assists.
Eibar's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Jaime; Lillo, Ekiza, Navas, Boveda; Garcia, Fernandez; Abraham, Moral, Saul; Piovaccari
Rayo Vallecano's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Alvarez; Nacho, Morcillo, Castro, Tito; Jozabed, Baena; Kakuta, Bueno, Lica; Manucho
