The host of this duel is a team that is endangered when the survival is in question, while the guests are absolutely relieved. The difference is big 15 points in favour of Eibar, although Levante has been playing even better and they are undefeated in the last two duels, while Eibar has not celebrated in those last two matches. However, Levante is above the relegation zone with four points more and they cannot relax, as opposed to Eibar who can even think about playing in Europa league. In the first part of the season these rivals played 2-2.
Even though they had a very good start, Levante is expectedly struggling to survive in their comeback season in the elite rank. They have fallen as the championship progressed, but they have not found themselves ever in the relegation zone. And now they have four points more than that zone and they must be at least another round above, although they hope that they can win important points in this duel. It is interesting that they have the same effect on their own field and away and the difference is only three goals scored at home.
They had a very long series of matches without a win that lasted almost four months, and then in the last round they defeated Getafe away with 1-0. This game was filled with cards, but the bigger problem for Levante are injuries and therefore they cannot count on the center-back Cheme and probably Pier jumps instead.
Probable lineups Levante: Olazabal – Coke, Cabaco, Pier, Luna – Campana, Lerma – Jason, Morales, Ivi – Roger
Eibar has been playing a bit weaker lately, but it only cost them so much that they are far from European positions, while survival will not be endangered. They have only one triumph in the previous five rounds, and it was against Villarreal on their home field, and they also played a draw with Deportivo, with three defeats. They had a very difficult schedule and lost to Chelsea with two home defeats from Barcelona and Real. Simply, their rivals were too strong and Eibar did not play bad at all, so no one has managed to outplay them.
They played particularly well in the last round against Real and if they had a little more luck, they could end with a draw, but they received a goal in the end and lost with 2-1. Maybe two rounds ago, they could have played better than Deportivo because they had more players on the field in most of the games, but it was 1-1 at the end. Orellana got injured in that match and did not play against Real, and he will not play even now, while Capa and Ramis are back in defence, and Escalante, Pedro Leon and Kike in midfield and attack.
Probable lineups Eibar: Dmitrovic – Capa, Ramis, Arbilla, J.Angel – Escalante, Dani Garcia – Pedro Leon, Jordan, Inui – Kike
Eibar is playing much better this season, however, they have fallen recently and are also without imperative, while Levante needs points and we believe that they can take advantage of the home field and at least not lose.
