Barcelona and Eibar’s women’s teams are set to clash in a key fixture of Matchday 20 of Liga F, marking the early stages of the second half of the season. The Blaugrana aim to secure victory at the Johan Cruyff Stadium to maintain their strong lead in the league standings.
Barcelona comes into the match boosted by a comfortable 3-0 win against DUX Logroño. Prior to that, they decisively defeated Real Madrid’s women 4-0 in the quarterfinals of the Copa de la Reina. This match is crucial for head coach Pere Romeu’s squad, which holds an impressive 54 points from 18 wins and just one loss.
The team enjoys a solid cushion over second-place Real Madrid, currently sitting at 44 points with 14 wins, two draws, and three losses. Barcelona is determined to add three more points to their tally to further solidify their position at the top of the league.
In terms of squad news, Laia Alexandri will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn cruciate ligament. However, Alexia Putellas is set to return from injury, allowing the coaching staff to rotate players effectively. Aitana Bonmatí, unfortunately, will also be sidelined for several months after sustaining an injury while with the Spanish national team. Ewa Pajor stands out as the top scorer for Barcelona, showcasing their strong offensive capabilities. The depth of the Blaugrana squad offers them the flexibility to manage player minutes against Eibar.
Meanwhile, Eibar is fighting to avoid relegation. Sitting in 13th place with 17 points, they have recorded five wins, two draws, and twelve losses, and are currently on a four-match losing streak. They will aim to put up a strong fight against the formidable Barcelona squad.
