UD Aims to Secure Ipurua Victory Like 2023 Triumph
UD Las Palmas travels to Ipurua this Sunday without Jonathan Viera. The visit pits Luis García’s side against an SD Eibar team keen to reach the promotion play-offs.
Match context and stakes
Ipurua has become a difficult venue. SD Eibar has taken 34 points at home, the second-best record in the division behind Málaga.
Las Palmas sit on 51 points. They aim to consolidate a play-off position and keep climbing the table.
Recent form and motivation
Beñat San José’s squad arrives boosted by a win in Andorra. The hosts will be confident in front of their fans.
For Las Palmas, the fixture carries extra weight. It recalls the decisive moment in 2023 when Sandro’s strike launched their direct-promotion push.
Tactical plan
Luis García is expected to set up his team to control possession and press high. The plan includes breaking down one of the league’s strongest defenses.
Approaches may include wide crosses and quick combinations through the middle. Finishing quality will be crucial to turn chances into points.
Probable lineup
García could deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation. The core eleven used in recent weeks is the likely basis.
- Goalkeeper: Horkaš
- Defence: Viti Rozada, Barcia, Mika Mármol, Enrique Clemente
- Double pivot: Kirian and Enzo Loiodice
- Attacking trio: Taisei Miyashiro, Manu Fuster, Ale García
- Striker: Jesé
Taisei Miyashiro arrives in good form. Luis García praised his adaptation, saying the Japanese forward already seems a Canary at heart.
Officials
Referee Germán Cid Camacho will take charge of the game. The 38-year-old from Segovia is in his third Segunda A season.
Camacho previously officiated the UD–Real Sociedad B match at Gran Canaria. José Antonio López will assist in the VAR room.
UD aims to secure Ipurua victory in a test that echoes their 2023 triumph. Filmogaz.com will follow the game and report post-match analysis.
