On Saturday lunchtime, Eibar host Levante at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua, as the home side look to move further clear of La Liga’s relegation zone.
A poor recent run of form has seen Eibar slip into the fight for survival in the Spanish top-flight. In fact, Jose Mendilibar’s team are now just two points clear of the relegation zone.
A run of just two wins in their last 12 matches in La Liga has led to the home sides current precarious position in the table. A 5-0 defeat at Barcelona was their second straight defeat in the league and their fourth game without a victory.
Their recent La Liga games have been relatively low-scoring with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Eibar have an inconsistent recent record in La Liga, but they are unbeaten in three matches on home soil in the Spanish top-flight. Their recent league matches at home have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.
Levante are 10th place in La Liga, eight points outside the European spots and ten points clear of the relegation zone. A run of five defeats in their last seven La Liga games has scuppered their chances of landing a European spot for next season.
Paco Lopez’s team have shown signs of improvement in recent games of late, winning two of their last three matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Levante’s recent away form in La Liga has been poor though, as a 2-1 defeat at Villarreal in their last away game was their fourth straight loss in La Liga on their travels. The visitors have also conceded at least two goals in their last four away games in La Liga.
Forebet predicts that Eibar will move further clear of La Liga’s relegation zone by recording a win in a low-scoring clash.
