Eibar take on the visitors Levante in the round 3 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Monday, September 2nd at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua (Eibar).
Eibar are currently celebrating the anniversary of their promotion to La Liga. Back then, no one believed in them, and the debutants, who finished in 18th place, were supposed to be relegated. However, they were saved by the financial problems of Elche, who were expelled from La Liga. As a result, the team, under the guidance of Mendilibar, managed to stay in the top flight for another six years. After being relegated in 2021, they have been consistently attempting to make a return. Unfortunately, these efforts have been unsuccessful, and even this spring, after finishing third, they lost in the promotion playoffs. Despite this, coach Joseba Etxeberria kept his job, but the squad underwent significant changes. They started the new season well, winning 1-0 at home against Castellón, and leading by two goals in Santander until the 85th minute, but then relaxed and allowed Racing to snatch a draw.

Levante disappointed last season. The "Frogs" looked promising in La Liga at the beginning of this century, even playing in the Europa League in 2012/2013, reaching the Round of 16. Yes, the club has been relegated several times, but they always bounced back quickly, as they did in 2017. After their latest relegation in 2022, they narrowly missed an immediate return: finishing third in the regular season and failing in the promotion playoffs. However, last season they slipped to 8th place—a clear disappointment. Now, the team is coached by Calleja, who managed Cartagena last season. He had a decent start: his new team beat Sporting in Gijón. They were also leading against Cádiz, but conceded a late penalty, resulting in a 1-1 draw.
Last season, the "Gunners" were the stronger side: a narrow 1-0 win at home and a draw away, where both teams managed to score a goal. In this matchup, the home-field advantage is crucial. This time, the "Gunners" will host their opponents, so the bet here is on a victory for the home team.
Prediction for the match: Eibar to win.
