Levante vs Eibar Prediction & Betting tips
We start the 29th round in La Liga on Friday evening in the Ciutat de Valencia with the meeting between Levante and Eibar. For both teams there is still a lot at stake in the last ten rounds. The home team is fighting against relegation, while the visitors still have a chance to participate in the Europa League.
Levante:
Levante sent trainer Juan Muniz out of the lane last week, followed by the successor Paco Lopez immediately producing a shock effect. Under the new head coach, thanks to a 0-1 victory at Getafe, the relegation candidate finally managed to halt a series of no less than fifteen competition duels without victory. Although Levante had a hard time in the Coliseum, the visitors were lucky that the home team had four big options, including even a missed header for an empty goal by Getafe striker Angel Rodriguez. However, Lady Fortuna was indebted to Levante, sometimes she was allowed to sit with it. With 24 points from 28 rounds, Los Granotas now have some air again in the fierce degradation battle, but Paco Lopez knows that the job is far from done: “Only at 38 points can we breathe a sigh of relief. However, we are confident that we will maintain ourselves. The victory at Getafe has given us a huge boost. ‘
Paco Lopez naturally hopes that his team can build on the victory of last week and also in the home match against Eibar a good result can put down. The last time Levante managed to win two games in a row in La Liga is almost three years ago. The brand new head coach is likely to change little on Friday night and will most likely make star player Jose Luis Morales once again important by posting him with Roger Marti at the point of attack. The club from Valencia is currently struggling with an injury wave and will have to miss several important defensive forces, including Cheick Doukoure and Sergio Postigo.
Eibar:
Eibar seemed to be a major candidate for European football for a long time, but the Basques have just slipped from the European sub-top with only one victory from the last five rounds. The backlog at number seven Girona is only four points, but the redblue must now win to the Spanish subtop not out of sight.
Despite the poor results of the last weeks, Eibar does play great football. Last weekend, the Basques earned at least one point in their own Ipurua against Real Madrid (1-2 loss), but the home team lacked sharpness in the completion. Trainer Jose Luis Mendilibar: ‘I can not blame my players for they have given everything. Just like this season against Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona, we are certainly not the least, but we forget to reward ourselves. ‘ This is a recurring problem, because with only 35 goals Eibar is the least scoring team of the left-hand row. If Eibar had had a goaltie thief like Gerard Moreno (Espanyol) or Iago Aspas (Celta de Vigo), then it would have been one or two places higher in the rankings. Mendilibar will undoubtedly urge the board on a new striker this summer. That is, if he is still working at Los Armeros by then. Mendilibar is one of the best coaches in the Spanish fields, so I would not be surprised if, for example, local Athletic Bilbao will soon attempt to entice him to a transition to the San Mames.
