Although this is a common narrative in recent games, the Cordoba CF returns this Saturday to have a golden opportunity to return to the path of victory after five days of drought. Once again they will face a very competitive rival. … needy as he is Eibara team which begins the eighteenth day of penultimate position in the ranking. In an event that will be the last that the green and white team will compete in El Arcángel in this 2025the Cordoba team aims to add three points in front of its supporters.
In addition to regaining victory, the local team must regain its good feelings lost after several games in which shadows predominated over lights. Without going any further, on the last day they could only draw against Leganés, a result marked by the lack of ideas in attack despite the defensive solidity. Even though Jacobo had victory in his boots thanks to a penalty that ultimately failed, scoring goals remains one of Córdoba’s outstanding tasks.
So in a week no new victims, green and white coach Iván Ania could present slight variations in his eleven to receive Eibar. With Iker Álvarez between the sticks, everything indicates that the pair of central defenders will again be the one formed by Rubén Alves and Xavi Sintes, since Fomeyem is still injured and will not be available, as confirmed by the coach himself in the preview.
On the sides, Albarrán and Carlos Isaac leave with an advantage, even if Alcedo continues to be the natural alternative to occupy the left side. Basically, no change is expected. It has been this way since the Granada tandem of Isma Ruiz and Requena consolidated itself in the engine room.
The offensive line concentrates the biggest doubts. Even if against Leganés it was Pedro Ortiz who occupied the inside position, Jacobo could get the midfielder back to return to a more natural area and where it offered greater impact. This movement would open the door on the return of Dalisson to left winger after not playing a few minutes on the last day. To complete the attack, Carracedo on the right wing and Fuentes at the forefront of the attack appear to be two firm bets for the Oviedo coach.
Location of the Córdoba infirmary
In terms of victims, apart from the already mentioned absence of Fomeyem, they will not be available either. Vilarrasa, Adilson, Diego Bri and Théo Zidane. Concerning the Marseillais, Théo did not make the trip to Leganés due to a somewhat complex injury, according to Iván Ania. “I couldn’t exactly explain the injury.. It’s in one area, but it’s caused by another, so we’re looking at what treatment needs to be put in place. He will not be available for this match, let’s see if he gets to Mirandés,” he noted.
Despite five games without a win, Córdoba is immersed in middle zone of the ranking and with aspirations for everything; even if you shouldn’t trust them. Before giving the starting signal for the current day, the green and white team is three barrage points already four relegation. In addition to demonstrating the great competitiveness of the Second Division, this means that the Blanquiverdes maintain their aspirations to fight for highest levels in case of a good result against Eibar.
However, the group of gunsmiths wants to sit down at El Arcángel to reverse your bad sporting situation. Even if its start to the season was positive, the Gipuzkoa team gradually deflated in the competition; especially at home. With two points out of eighteen possibleEibar are the second worst visitors in the Second Division, with only two draws, one against Real Sporting (1-1) and the other against Malaga (1-1). To increase this bad moment, if you watch the last ten matches, They only won one victory.
This spiral of negativity has made the figure of Benat San José on the Eibar bench is strongly questioned. A bad result in the green and white stronghold would be synonymous with a dismissal more than possiblethe San Sebastián preparer will therefore put all the meat on the grill.
A style similar to green and white
Regarding its style of play, San José defends a 4-2-3-1 with ideas almost copied from Cordoba. Midfield control, high pressure and an attack that always seeks to be a threat in the opponent’s goal, but like the Cordoba team last season, defense is its specialty. Achilles heel when it comes to defending their backs.
As eminent personalities, Jon Magunazelaia He returns to El Arcángel after arriving on loan at Córdoba during last season’s winter window. Even if he did not enjoy great notoriety, he has now adopted a version of ‘trequartista’ being the great gunsmith playmaker. With a goal and an assist, Magunazelaia found Javi Marton your ideal companion.
With five goals, the Eibar striker is the player with the most killer nose, curiously followed by a defender like Arbilla (three goals). We must also not forget the goalkeeper Magunagoitia who, despite conceding twenty-four goals, was one of the most outstanding goalkeepers in the Second Division last season. In terms of losses, Eibar will count on the certain defeat of the defender Jair Amador and the appearance of Alkain and Garrido is also heavily questioned.
