Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Eibar will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid when they take on Levante at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua on Matchday 30. Los Armeros extended their winless run to five games, with the team remaining in the relegation zone. The Basque outfit, though, will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways as Levante suffered a dip in form. All Yoshinori Muto, Pedro Bigas, and Roberto Correa are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Los Levantinos head into the match following back-to-back defeats to Betis and Huesca, and seeing that they have little to play for in the season finale, we are tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened hosts. In the first half of the season Levante defeated Eibar 2-1, meaning that the Basques are hungry for revenge. All Melero, Vukcevic, Campana, and Miramon have been struggling with injuries of late.
