ATHLETIC BILBAO - ESPANYOL

Hosts are favorites here.

Athletic is doing an excellent campaign. Full of confidence, playing so well, and a very competitive team. They are sitting 9th on the table, fighting for the UEL zone which is 3 points above them.

The lack of goal is their main handicap, as they dont have any good strikers, but they are getting victories and points thanks to their solid defense. With 17 goals against in 22 games, they are the 2nd team of La Liga with less goals conceded after Sevilla.

My only worry here is the possible fatigue they may have, as they will play against Real Madrid in the Cup on February 3th. But they already showed that they are physically in good form as they played in Arabia the Spanish Supercup, then 4 days later a very demanding game against Barcelona in the Cup (won 3-2) and then 3 days later a difficult match against Rayo Vallecano where they won 0-1.

And they will have more than 10 days to rest between the match against Rayo and the two games I said (Cup vs Real Madrid and league vs Espanyol).

On the other hand, Espanyol is in a very good situation in the league (13th, 9 points above relegation). They are being very competitive at home (6-2-3 record), the opposite as away where they only managed to win one match so far (1-4-6 record).

Furthermore, for this match they will miss their topscorer, best player and one of the best strikers in the league - Raul de Tomas, who is suspended. He has scored 12 goals so far, and is the 2nd topscorer of the league.

Athletic has a better squad, at home is a much better side and has more motivation for this match. Espanyo is a very weak visitor and will be without their best player, so I see hosts favorites to win this game.

GETAFE - LEVANTE

Getafe is a different team.

As said in previous picks, they signed great players to achieve the target of avoiding relegation: Okay (Celta), Borja Mayoral (Roma), Gonzalo Villar (Roma) and Oscar (Sevilla).

With new coach Quique Sanchez Flores they improved a lot, winning 3 of the last 5 games, losing only 1:0 against Sevilla and drawing 0:0 away vs Real Sociedad. At home, they are being very competitive with 5 wins and 1 draw in the last 6 games, including their last fixture against Granada which gave them a lot of morale, as they won 4:2 playing so good with some of the new transfers (and a goal from Borja Mayoral).

Their next game is away vs Atletico Madrid, so they need the three points here at home to avoid problems as most probably will get 0 points in the next round.

On the other hand, Levante is already relegated. With only 11 points, at the bottom, and 9 points below relegation, they need a miracle to avoid it. They are playing so bad, their defense is awful (43 goals conceded) and have a huge lack of motivation. Players look blocked, all of them are far from their best level, and in attack they are harmless.

Two weeks ago they gained a lot of motivation with the victory against Mallorca, but the last defeat at home against Cadiz (a relegation rival) meant a big step for the relegation and a big mood blow for them.

Two starters like Morales and Camapaña are out for this match (suspended).

Getafe has much more motivation, better squad, is very competitive at home and will play against a team who feels already relegated, without motivation and the worst team of the league so far. Hosts should leave the three points at home here.

毕尔巴鄂竞技vs西班牙人

主持人在这里很受欢迎。

毕尔巴鄂竞技正在做一个出色的活动。充满信心，打得很好，是一支非常有竞争力的球队。他们坐在第9位，争夺领先他们3分的UEL区。

缺乏进球是他们的主要障碍，因为他们没有优秀的前锋，但由于他们坚实的防守，他们正在取得胜利和得分。他们在22场比赛中攻入17球，是西甲联赛中继塞维利亚之后第二支失球较少的球队。

我唯一担心的是他们可能会感到疲劳，因为他们将在2月3日的杯赛上对阵皇家马德里。但是他们已经证明了他们的身体状态很好，他们在阿拉伯的西班牙超级杯比赛中，然后4天后在杯赛上与巴塞罗那的比赛中(3-2取胜)，然后3天后在与瓦列卡诺的比赛中0-1获胜。

在和拉约的比赛和我说的两场比赛(杯赛对皇家马德里和联赛对西班牙人)之间，他们将有超过10天的休息时间。

另一方面，西班牙人在联赛中处于非常好的状态(第13名，比降级区高出9分)。他们在主场非常有竞争力(战绩是6胜2负)，而在客场则恰恰相反，他们到目前为止只赢了一场比赛(战绩是1胜4负)。

此外，在这场比赛中，他们将失去他们的最佳射手、最佳球员和联盟中最好的前锋之一——劳尔·德·托马斯，他将被禁赛。到目前为止，他已经进了12个球，是联赛中第二大射手。

毕尔巴鄂竞技有一支更好的球队，在主场是一支更好的球队，在这场比赛中有更多的动力。西班牙人是一个非常弱的客队，将失去他们最好的球员，所以我认为东道主的最爱赢得这场比赛。

赫塔菲vs莱万特

赫塔菲是一个不同的团队。

正如之前的选秀一样，他们签下了伟大的球员来达到保级的目标:Okay(塞尔塔)，Borja Mayoral(罗马)，Gonzalo Villar(罗马)和Oscar(塞维利亚)。

在新教练弗洛雷斯的带领下，球队进步很大，在过去的5场比赛中赢了3场，在与塞维利亚的比赛中只输了1比0，客场与皇家社会的比赛中0:0打成平局。在主场，他们在过去的6场比赛中5胜1平，非常有竞争力，包括他们对格拉纳达的上一场比赛，这给了他们很大的士气，因为他们在一些新转会中表现得很好，以4:2赢得了比赛(还有博尔哈市长的一个进球)。

他们的下一场比赛是客场对阵马德里竞技，所以他们需要在主场拿下三分来避免出现问题，因为他们很有可能在下一轮就得0分。

另一方面，莱万特已经被降级了。他们只有11分，在垫底，还有9分低于保级，他们需要奇迹来避免它。他们踢得很糟糕，防守很糟糕(丢了43个球)，缺乏动力。玩家看起来被阻挡了，他们都离自己的最佳水平很远，在攻击中他们是无害的。

两周前，他们在战胜马洛卡的比赛中获得了很大的动力，但上一次在主场输给卡迪斯(一个保级竞争对手)意味着保级的一大步，对他们的情绪也是一个巨大的打击。

像莫拉莱斯和Camapaña等2名先发球员将缺席本场比赛(停赛)。

赫塔菲有更多的动力，更好的阵容，在主场非常有竞争力，而且将对阵一支感觉已经被降级的球队，没有动力，而且是联赛迄今为止最差的球队。东道主应该把这三分留在家里。
