Eibar will host Sporting Gijon at Ipurua Municipal Stadium on Sunday in the Segunda Division.
Eibar were relegated to the second tier in May after seven years in La Liga. Los Armeros have had a stuttering start to the new campaign, winning and losing twice each from their opening five games.
With just seven points in the bag, they're languishing near mid-table in 10th place, though are unbeaten in their last three outings.
The Rojiblancos, meanwhile, are flying high, sitting at the top of the table with four wins and a draw from five games.
They would be hoping to continue this form throughout the campaign and be genuine contenders for promotion next year.
A victory in each of their last three matches means David Gallego's side are set on their path to return to La Liga, four years on from their top-flight relegation.
Eibar vs Sporting Gijon Head-To-Head
Sporting Gijon have a good record in this fixture with 12 wins against Eibar from 28 clashes, but have been defeated a close eight times.
In their last four encounters, however, the Rojiblancos have won thrice, all in a row.
