Real Sociedad seek lift at Zubieta as Eibar aim to build on unbeaten start | OneFootball

Real Sociedad need a response today, hosting Costa Adeje at Zubieta at 12.00 after two league defeats and the departure of Arturo Ruiz. According to Diario Vasco, new head coach Gorka Álvarez has an immediate chance to steady a side seeking its first points.

Álvarez said on Friday the week’s work had centred on defence, as he feels the attack is in good shape. La Real have conceded five across the first two rounds and must better protect goalkeeper Julia Arrula.

A victory would lift spirits before an enticing European tie with Hearts later this month and Real Madrid’s visit on 26.

Eibar, meanwhile, aim to stay in the leading pack and host Badalona at Ipurua at 19.30.

The Armeras remain unbeaten, having beaten Espanyol at home then earned a creditable draw at the Alfredo Di Stéfano against Real Madrid. Coach Iñaki Goikoetxea described Badalona as dangerous, highly associative and technical, adding that the Madrid point mattered because his team showed they can suffer when required.
