Athletic will visit Eibar on Wednesday. With that trend of home draw in the small travel suitcase of those of Garitano. Short haul. But there will be a fight of marked lines in Ipurua, because the path of those of Balance in his house is another. As host, the armorer team is playing it all or nothing. In 14 games, he has added 6 wins, has conceded 7 defeats and has only tied 1 game. And with a deficit (-1) scorer, 19 goals for and 20 against. Heads or tails.
In the general classification, the Barça squad is sixteenth, with 27 points, only 2 above the Mallorca that is delimiting the relegation zone. And as for the table with the matches at home, they occupy the same position, with 19 points. Only Celta (17), Valladolid (16), Leganés (15) and Espanyol have obtained a lower collection from their public.
In Ipurua, those of Balance They have imposed on Seville (3-2), Celta (2-0), Villarreal (2-1), Granada (3-0), Atlético de Madrid (2-0) and Eibar (3-0). By cons, they have been overtaken by Espanyol (1-2), Barça (0-3), Real Madrid (0-4), Alavés (0-2), Getafe (0-1), Mallorca (1-2) and Real (1-2).
The only draw has been with Betis (1-1) on matchday 22, in the clash played at the beginning of February.
Gunsmiths are not getting a regularity line of results. They have kneeled in their last three appointments with Real Madrid (the first after the break due to the coronavirus), Real and Mallorca. They have only achieved one victory, against Levante on February 29, in the last eight days. With defeats against Barça and Alavés and draws with Celta and Betis in that batch.
Duel of needs of different colors. The Eibar to avoid problems in the low zone with that near threat of the breath of the descent. And Athletic to continue having options in the pursuit of the European ticket through seventh place in the league, which continues to have a shot of 5 points from that tenth place in the table. He fights with Granada, Villarreal and Valencia, who defends that continental passport that he has for now.
