Eibar is one of the smallest teams in the league, but they are easily avoiding relegation for the couple of seasons already. Their fighting spirit and excellent team composition led them to the battle for the place which leads to European competition, which would be a tremendous success for the club. However, they will probably be happy with a mid-table finish, and they will be defensive in the upcoming game against Athletic Bilbao.
