August 17 at Ipurua will be the match of the 1st round of the Spanish Segunda, in which Eibar will play against Castellon. Compiled a detailed prediction by the experts of Dailysports.
“Eibar”
The team debuted in the Primera in 2014. And, quite unexpectedly, held there for seven years in a row. But then, still flying out, there is no way to return, although attempts are made constantly. Not once in three seasons in the Segunda have we finished below fifth place. Another thing is that they never got higher than third, and then lost in the playoffs. This summer, the club immediately lost to Eibar - 0-0 and 0-2.
Joseba Echeverria, who became the coach of the project a year ago, got another chance. But a number of leading players - Luka Zidane, Stoichkov, Tejero - left. Although there are enough newcomers, including some big names - Fusato, Puertas, Merkelans.
“Castellon”
The club was able to return to the Segunda. The last time “ears” played at this level in 2020/2021, and then immediately dropped out. Now managed to win their group in the third league, and this is a great result of the first year of work Schroeder in Spain. Prior to that, the 53-year-old Dutchman coached Zwolle in his homeland.
Before the long-awaited start at a higher level, the club tried to strengthen the squad. Quantitatively new players are enough. But it should be noted that the Segunda newcomer was able to lure Amir Abedzadeh, a goalkeeper with experience playing for the Iranian national team. And even Yetro Willems, a former defender of the Dutch national team, who, however, has recently been mentioned due to legal problems.
