Las Palmas defends leadership in the Second Division, attentive to the offensive of Alavés, Burgos and Eibar

MADRID, 14 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Las Palmas will defend its status as leader in LaLiga SmartBank against Ponferradina on matchday eleven, where they will try not to let go of a first place that Alavés wants to regain in Andorra, while Burgos and Eibar remain attentive to any mistake by both.

The leadership and the upper area in Second is very hot after 10 days and the Canarian team, with Viera at the controls, took the lead this Wednesday in Lugo. Alavés’ stumble allowed them to return to the top of the standings, a condition they want to maintain in Ponferrada against a rival who doesn’t know what it’s like to score three points since mid-September.

For its part, the team from Vitoria’s goalless draw against Albacete left them with one point less than Las Palmas. Another thick game that punishes them with a victory in the last four games, so they want to reverse their dynamic in Andorra. A rival who put an end to his good form due to a Burgos record.

The Castilian team continues to extend its streak without conceding since the beginning of the season and is placed third (18), stretching the milestone of goalkeeper Caro, more than 1,000 minutes without conceding. His next victim will be the Mirandés, penultimate and looking to rejoin the permanence.

The other clear favorite in the fight is Eibar, who recovered away from home in victory in Ibiza. Now, they will try to continue on the ascending line in Gijón, against Sporting touched after the painful defeat (5-0) against Granada.

A good dose for the Andalusian team that clings to promotion again, where they are fifth with 17 points. Thus, Aitor Karanka’s team was uncovered and will now seek to consolidate their regularity against a Tenerife chaining their fourth consecutive draw, closer to the fight for permanence than the promotion for which they fought last season.

With the same points as Granada, Cartagena, also subscribed to a tie on the last day, wants to once again have the opportunity to aspire to the leadership against a ‘fallen layer’ Ibiza. On the other hand, Albecete and Huesca will try to enter the promotion against Oviedo and Racing, both on alert near the red zone of the table.

The change of direction in Levante had an effect and the ‘granotas’ returned to the path of victory in the week-to-week session. The next objective is to get closer to the noble zone of the classification. A challenge that involves beating Leganés, with two consecutive victories that seem to put the bad start to the season behind them.

Finally, bottom club Málaga faces a crucial duel for permanence against a direct rival, such as Lugo, third from last and with three points more than the Andalusians. A relegation marked by Real Zaragoza with 10 units from which they will try to escape against Villarreal B, who have come down with four draws and one defeat in the last five games.
