This is why four teams can dream of playing in the playoffs

If the playoffs are a subject of trends, Eibar will be the strong favorites to achieve promotion in the final stage of the season. If the key is the results obtained between the four protagonists in the regular stage of the tournament, the poster will fall in Sports. If he’s at defensive safety, nobody can beat him spanish in the last 10 days. And if the previous 13 playoffs are anything to go by, the Oviedoranked sixth in regular LaLiga, has a lot to say.

Which parameter will prevail? Possibly nothing. A round-trip double eliminator open all scenarios and all favoritism is qualified. But the analysis of what happened in the 42 days of the League allows us to draw some conclusions about Eibar, Espanyol, Sporting and Oviedo, the protagonists of the playoffs.

Unmatched in direct confrontations

He Sports is the most reliable In the confrontations against the other three teams: they added 12 points, thanks to three victories at home (the only one that achieved a full victory at home) and three draws. Eight points were added by spanishseven Oviedo and five are Eibar. The team from Gijón is the only one that has not lost any match and is the best visitor, tied with Espanyol: three points each.

The two best ranked teams in the regular season (Eibar and spanish) will play the second leg of their playoffs at home. An advantage? For Eibar, it is doubtful: it is the worst place in direct rivalry with its rivals, as it has added only four of the nine points it has released. Praise. The only victory for Joseba Etxeberria’s team in these matches came on Sunday against Oviedo.

Defensive force

In defensive forcefulness in direct duels against Eibar, Oviedo and spanishalmost clean record of Sports, who scored just one goal in those six games. At the other extreme, the Eibar he conceded 12, for nine spanish and eight are Oviedo. The gunsmiths team was the most productive in these confrontations, where they scored 10 goals, eight for Oviedoseven spanish and five are Sportswhich made them earn better than others.

And if we look at the fashion where the four playoff protagonists come installed, interpretations for all tastes. Taking the last ten days as a reference, the cake in terms of scoring goes to Eibar, with 19 points, three more than the 16 added by other teams. During this time, the spanish is by far the least obtained, with five goals received for 11 of Eibar and Oviedo and 13 of Sports. The Catalans were less successful, with 10 goals, far from 23 of Eibar; half way, the 15 of the two Asturians. Figures from a playoff are open to all.
