This Saturday, February 7, marks the beginning of Matchday 19 in Liga F, featuring a showdown between SD Eibar and Granada CF at 12 PM on DAZN. The Eibar team is currently in a precarious position, having suffered three consecutive defeats that leave them in 13th place with 17 points. While they are still comfortably above the relegation zone, nine points away, securing three points would certainly ease their concerns as they aim to climb the standings. At home, their performance has been particularly troubling, recording only one win against five losses.
In contrast, Granada heads into the match looking to bounce back after drawing with Atlético de Madrid, halting their streak of three straight victories. Now situated in 10th place with 23 points, Granada is in a safe zone, well clear of relegation threats but also distant from contention for European spots. They aim to leverage their strong away form this season, where they’ve secured three victories.
On Sunday, February 8, the Costa Adeje Tenerife will face Atlético de Madrid at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium. Tenerife has been impressive this season and is set to compete in the semifinals of the Copa de la Reina after overcoming Madrid CFF earlier this week. The match holds special significance for Marí José, who will be honored at her home ground after recently parting ways with the team but will return to face her former club, Alhama. The visitors, Alhama, are struggling at the bottom of the table, having not tasted victory since October 5, following a heavy recent defeat.
Also on Sunday, Sevilla FC will host Athletic Club in a pivotal clash at the Estadio Jesús Navas, aiming to solidify their position in the top six after a decent run of results. With Sevilla in sixth place at 27 points, a win is essential to maintain distance from teams pushing for European qualification. Athletic Club, who have regained form, will be eager to continue their competitive resurgence, finding themselves closely trailing Sevilla in the standings.
In another crucial encounter, Levante UD will take on Atlético de Madrid in Buñol. Levante recently claimed a victory over Madrid CFF, giving them hope of escaping relegation despite currently sitting at the bottom of the league, just one point from safety. The new Atlético, under José Herrera, comes into this match having not won in seven league matches, risking a drop from their third-place position if they do not regain their form.
Madrid CFF will also clash with Deportivo Coruña on Sunday, both teams attempting to escape the relegation zone. Madrid is struggling to find consistency but sees this match as an opportunity to reverse their recent trend, while Deportivo hopes to take advantage of the local team’s doubts to secure crucial points.
Real Sociedad and Badalona Women will meet once again just days after their last cup encounter, with Sociedad looking to maintain their place in the top three. Badalona, coming off three consecutive league victories, will look to extend their good form despite facing some injury challenges.
Finally, the weekend concludes with a matchup between Real Madrid and RCD Espanyol at the Di Stefano stadium, where both teams are seeking to improve their standings. Madrid, still contending for top positions, requires a strong performance to fend off challengers, while Espanyol, having previously triumphed in Madrid against Atlético, aims for a surprise upset despite their current league position.
As Matchday 19 unfolds, anticipation builds as each team vies for crucial points in this evenly matched league, promising excitement and drama on the pitch.
