FC Andorra Rides Four-Game Unbeaten Streak into Eibar Clash

FC Andorra are building momentum from a four-game unbeaten run—three wins and a draw—heading into Saturday's home match against 10th-placed SD Eibar at Nou Estadi de la FAF in Encamp (4:15pm).

Striker Lautaro de León highlighted defensive solidarity as the foundation of the team's form during comments on Monday morning. The side have claimed 10 points from their last 12 available, pulling eight points clear of the relegation zone and Huesca in 13th on 39 points after 30 rounds. "We're in a very sweet moment, but we're aware this league will demand focus until the end," De León said. He attributed recent results to greater cohesion at the back, which has enabled the attack to finish chances that went begging earlier in the season. "We can't relax—the key is this defensive solidarity that's giving us so much," he added.

A victory over Eibar, who lead Andorra by three points, would deliver 13 from 15 and support a steady push up the table while widening the gap from danger. De León described the Basques as a "direct rival" and "very tough bloc," praising their intensity, quality forwards, and robust defending. Eibar have lost only twice in their last 12 outings, both away from Ipurua—site of Andorra's sole defeat in their first seven games under former coach Ibai Gómez.

De León pointed to gritty away displays, including a 1-1 draw at Granada where the team endured despite not being at their best. He recalled a late Sporting win via a 93rd-minute strike that might have drifted wide in tougher times. On personal form, he dismissed concerns over his five goals this season, expressing confidence despite high expectations. "I'm in a good moment of trust, and everyone trusts me too, though it's true I don't have as many as I'd like," he said, referencing 12 goals in Spain's third tier last year plus three in Segunda playoffs. "The moment will come for everyone—the time arrives for all."

De León remains a mainstay under coach Carles Manso, starting ahead of new signing Marc Cardona as the sixth-most used player. Jesús Owono is absent on international duty, with Áron Yaakobishvili called up by Hungary. Playoffs sit nine points distant.
