Relegation Dogfight at El Arcángel as Struggling Córdoba Host Rock-Bottom Eibar
Two teams desperate for points clash in LaLiga Hypermotion as Córdoba aim to end five-game winless run against an Eibar side stuck in the relegation zone.
Córdoba vs Eibar: A Battle of the Out-of-Form
It’s proper squeaky bum time down at the Nuevo Arcángel this Saturday as two sides in desperate need of points go head-to-head in what could be a proper six-pointer in LaLiga Hypermotion.
Córdoba, without a win in five league matches, welcome an Eibar side who are having an absolute mare this season, currently languishing in the drop zone and yet to win an away league game all campaign. Talk about being up the creek without a paddle!
Form Guide: Two Teams in the Doldrums
The home side’s recent form has been about as impressive as a chocolate teapot. Iván Ania’s men currently sit 12th in the table with 22 points after their recent draw against Leganés. What started as a decent season has turned into a bit of a dog’s dinner, with the Andalusians struggling to string together any sort of consistent run.
But if you think that’s bad, have a butcher’s at Eibar’s situation! The Basque outfit are proper struggling in 20th position with just 17 points to their name. Beñat San José’s side come into this one on the back of a defeat to Cultural Leonesa and are desperate to turn their season around.
