Levante-Tenerife and Real Zaragoza-Eibar, more direct duels from above
MADRID, 19 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Espanyol hosts Leganés this Friday with the intention of defending its leadership at the Stage Front Stadium in Barcelona, on matchday 12 of LaLiga Hypermotion that will also see direct duels in the upper zone between Tenerife and Levante UD, and Real Zaragoza and Eibar.
The ‘pepinero’ team goes to Barcelona with the option of seeing themselves at the top again, after convincingly beating Amorebieta (6-0) on the eleventh day of the Second Division 2023/24. In front will be a Espanyol that is the leader and wants to distance itself from its pursuers as a local. Luis García’s pupils will play at home again, after beating Real Valladolid last day (2-0).
The team coached by Borja Jiménez has 22 points out of a possible 33, one away from the lead, with one defeat, one draw and one victory in its last three games. The young Spanish forward Miguel de la Fuente has just put in an impressive performance in the last match, where he scored a hat-trick in 50 minutes, and arrives in good shape to face the leader.
Saturday will have two very interesting highlights in the fight for direct promotion. Levante, which starts third, will travel to face Tenerife, which is fourth but both tied on 22 points like Leganés. The ‘chicharrero’ team has the home court factor in order to achieve a victory that both teams need.
On the other side of the coin, Real Zaragoza will host Eibar in La Romareda. Fifth and sixth classified respectively, they both come from tying their previous match and will examine how to stalk the 4 teams above them after knowing both results by the time the match starts.
The closing of the day will be on Monday and there will be a fight to get out of the relegation places, where Alcorcón with 9 points will receive the bottom team with 5 points, Cartagena, at the Santo Domingo Municipal Stadium. Both come from being defeated the previous day and will seek to amend their complicated light start.
