EIBAR - HUESCA

Different ambitions here.

Eibar is a team built to be promoted, which is their main target. Last season they lost their spot in the direct promotion (top2) in the last round after being there the whole season there and this year they have the same target. Right now are 8th on the table, 7 points below the top2 but with one less game played.Are in bad form with 3 rounds winless, where the last one was difficult losing the game in the extra time. So the victory here is mandatory to stay in the fight for top positions and recover good sensations.

They have a great squad, with quality and it’s a very strong home team. They have a small field where the games are played with high pace and a lot of intensity, so historically has always been a very difficult home team to beat. This year is the same - are unbeaten at home after 8 games, with just 3 goals conceded.

On the other hand, Huesca has also the target of trying to fight the playoff zone for promotion, where they are close (4 points below). It’s a classic team from 2nd division, middle table and experienced team, but not a top one like Eibar.

Are also in bad form, with two defeats and one draw in the last 4 games. For this match they will miss the topscorer Juan Carlos (3 goals).

Furthermore, Huesca is a terrible visitor - just 6 points (they have 24 in total) gained as travelers, winning just one game in 8 games and scoring just 4 goals.

Huesca is a defensive team, which is based on a good defense. This also means a lack of danger upfront - is the team of the whole league who makes less shots, having a total of 121: less than 7 per game. But they also achieved 10 goals to nil so far.

Surely Huesca will try to make a slow-pace game, trying to get another goal to nil. Eibar will dominate the game and they must show their best attacking version to win this game and break the strong defense of Huesca, but if Eibar plays at 100% surely will be able to do it.

LEVANTE - MALAGA

Disagree with these odds.

Although Levante is a top team in the league (in terms of budget and squad), it is struggling to win games. That’s normal, La Liga 2 is a very competitive and difficult league.

Are in good form now, with 9 games unbeaten and 6 victories, but also some unexpected results like the goalless draw last weekend against Lugo (relegation team). Curiously, it is at home where Levante is performing worse, achieving just 14 points - the same as travelers. While they are the 14th best home team, they are the 2nd best away team.

Key striker Soldado is out for this match.

But Malaga is the main reason for this pick. Surprisingly, they are in the relegation zone and just one above the bottom. It’s surprising because Malaga is a classic team from 2nd division, with experience and they have a good squad who should be at least in mid-positions. But this season they started badly, with 1 victory, 3 draws and 6 defeats in the first 10 rounds.

But now Malaga is in the best moment of the season: 5 points in the last 3 games, results which gave them a lot of confidence and were much needed. Anyway, it isn't enough for them because the safe zone is still 4 points above and they have a terrible calendar upcoming: Levante, Granada and Alaves. Probably the three best teams in the league.

Malaga showed a much better version in the recent games, with their talented players improving a lot and the team being much more competitive. They are much needed for points and I think are totally able to make a competitive match against a Levante who isn’t winning easily any game in this league.

EIBAR - HUESCA

这里有不同的野心。

Eibar是一支为提升而建的球队，这是他们的主要目标。上赛季他们在上一轮失去了直接升级(前2)的席位，而他们在那里呆了整整一个赛季，今年他们有同样的目标。现在排名第8，比前2少了7分，但是少了一场比赛。他们状态很差，3轮都没有赢过，最后一场在加时赛中输掉了比赛。所以这里的胜利是强制性的，以保持在战斗的顶端位置和恢复良好的感觉。

他们有一个伟大的阵容，有质量，这是一个非常强大的主队。他们场地小，比赛节奏快，强度大，所以从历史上看，他们一直是一支很难击败的主队。今年也是如此——8场主场不败，只丢3球。

另一方面，韦斯卡也有一个目标，那就是努力争夺季后赛区域的升级，他们在这一区域已经很接近了(落后4分)。这是一支来自乙级联赛的经典球队，中游和经验丰富的球队，但不是埃巴尔那样的顶级球队。

他们的状态也很糟糕，最近4场比赛2负1平。本场比赛他们将失去头号射手胡安·卡洛斯(3球)。

此外，韦斯卡是一个糟糕的客队——作为客队，他们只有6分(他们总共有24分)，8场比赛中只赢了一场，只进了4球。

韦斯卡是一支防守型球队，其基础是良好的防守。这也意味着缺少前场的危险——是全联盟中投次数最少的球队，总共121次:场均不到7次。但到目前为止，他们也取得了10比0的成绩。

毫无疑问，韦斯卡会努力打一场慢节奏的比赛，试图再进一球。埃巴尔将主宰比赛，他们必须展示出最好的进攻版本来赢得这场比赛，打破韦斯卡的强大防守，但如果埃巴尔踢出100%的状态，肯定能做到这一点。

LEVANTE - MALAGA

不同意这些说法。

尽管莱万特在联赛中是一支顶级球队(在预算和阵容方面)，但它在赢得比赛方面很困难。这很正常，西甲是一个竞争非常激烈和艰难的联赛。

现在状态不错，9场不败6胜，但也有一些意想不到的结果，比如上周末与保级球队卢戈的平局。奇怪的是，莱万特在主场的表现更差，只有14分，和客场一样。虽然他们是第14名最好的主队，但他们是第2名最好的客场球队。

主力前锋索尔达多将缺席本场比赛。

但马拉加是这个选择的主要原因。令人惊讶的是，他们在降级区，只比垫底高一个。这令人惊讶，因为马拉加是一支来自乙级联赛的经典球队，他们有经验，而且他们的阵容很好，至少应该处于中路位置。但本赛季他们开局不佳，前10轮1胜3平6负。

但现在马拉加正处于本赛季最好的时刻:最近3场比赛拿到5分，这给了他们很大的信心，这也是他们所需要的。无论如何，这对他们来说是不够的，因为他们的安全区域还高出4分，他们还有一个糟糕的日历即将到来:莱万特，格拉纳达和阿拉维斯。可能是联盟中最好的三支球队。

马拉加在最近的比赛中展现了一个更好的版本，他们的天才球员进步了很多，球队也变得更有竞争力。他们非常需要积分，我认为他们完全有能力与莱万特进行一场有竞争力的比赛，莱万特在联赛中从来没有轻松赢过任何一场比赛。
