Pamplona vs Eibar prediction

AI match recap

This is a classic Copa del Rey imbalance on paper, but Pamplona have a home setting, fresh local motivation and a style built to make the evening uncomfortable. Eibar need a response after their recent dip and have openly focused on their intensity without the ball. The visitors’ deeper squad and ability to sustain possession should tell over time, yet confirmed defensive absences and the compact venue give Pamplona a route to keep the tie tense. The opening duels and Eibar’s reaction to direct football will define the contest.

Injuries and absences

Eibar’s confirmed absences of Sergio Álvarez, Arbilla, Elgezabal and Bernat remove experience and continuity from the defensive group. Pamplona should test the replacement partnerships with early crosses, long balls and aggressive attacks on second phases.
