Eibar host Girona at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium on Sunday in the second leg of their Segunda Division promotion playoffs, looking to get the job done and reach the finals.
Los Armeros came away from Catalonia with a slender 1-0 victory in the first leg, courtesy of a 28th-minute strike from Ager Aketxe.
Alvaro Terejo was sent off for the visitors in the additional minutes of the opening stanza but the Blanquivermells still couldn't mount a comeback after the break.
The Basque Country outfit now only need a draw to reach the playoff finals, where they could play either Las Palmas or Tenerife for a place in La Liga next season.
Girona have no other choice but to win, although form isn't on their side at the moment, losing five of their last nine games.
