The 23rd Stage of La Liga ends tonight with the match between Eibar and Elche. We have a duel between two small teams from Primera, newly promoted, Eibar who wish to break the negative streak and the guests who are seated right above the places that lead to Segunda, so there are high stakes for this match. The first leg was pretty interesting, Eibar managing to win with the score of 2-0.
Eibar lost on El Riazor against Deportivo La Coruna (0-2) and they have three consecutive defeats, the weakest streak this season. Even so, they are on the ninth place in the ranking with 27 pointsm at a good distance from the relegation line, at least for the moment. The manager Gaizka Garitano believes that this match is more important than one against Barcelona or Real Madrid, Elche being though a rival in the fight for survival. From the hosts’ lot, Manu del Moral and Abraham will be missing (injured), but also the newcomer Rafa Paez, who can’t play yet.
Elche come from an extremely important victory on their own pitch against Rayo Vallecano (2-0). This was a match in which the right quarterback Damian Suarez scored one of the most spectacular goals of this stage of Primera. The guests are on the 17th place in the ranking, right above the three teams that face relegation. so the stakes of this match are high. Fran Escriba praised Garitano for their performance this season. but he announces that Elche come on Ipurua to obtain at least one point. Escriba can count again on Lomban and Cisma, both recovering from some injuries, the only notable absentees being Mosquera and Gimenez, the two having medical problems.

As we have said at the beginning of the article, there are chances to see a spectacular match on Estadio Ipurua, the two teams needing all the three points at stake here, the hosts, because they had only won a single point in the last four rounds and the guests because they want to keep above the relegation line. The statistics of the direct duels between Eibar and Elche also help us, because eight of the last nine matches ended up with over 1.5 goals scored. Four of the last five matches of Eibar played on their own pitch ended with minimum three goals scored, which gives us confidence that out selected tip will be a good one.
