Round four of the Segunda Division gets underway on Friday when Leganes and Eibar square off at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
The hosts, who are one of just two sides yet to pick up any points this season, will be desperate to end their losing streak and get their campaign up and running.
Leganes were left empty-handed once again as they fell to a 1-0 defeat away to CD Lugo last Saturday.
They have now lost their opening three games of the new La Liga 2 campaign, scoring once and shipping four goals so far.
Leganes will head into the weekend seeking to avoid a fourth consecutive league defeat for the first time since September 2019, when they lost four straight matches in La Liga.
Meanwhile, Eibar returned to winning ways last time out when they saw off SD Ponferradina 1-0 on home turf.
Prior to that, they kicked off their 2022-23 LaLiga2 campaign with a 2-1 win over Tenerife on August 13 before holding out for a 2-2 draw with Villarreal B three days later.
Eibar are unbeaten in their last nine outings across all competitions, claiming seven wins and two draws since a 2-0 loss against Girona in the promotion playoffs back in June.
Leganes vs Eibar Head-To-Head
With 10 wins from the last 22 meetings between the sides, Eibar boast a superior record in the history of this fixture. Leganes have picked up five wins in that time, while seven games have ended in draws.
