Matchday 18 of LaLiga EA Sports defines the bottom of the table

The eighteenth matchday of the domestic championship showed how the teams at the bottom are fighting for every point. Away wins have double value in this phase, while a simple draw may not be enough to improve their position. The fight to avoid relegation intensifies. ⚽

Key victory for Levante in Seville

Levante UD put on a solid performance at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium. The visiting team managed to win convincingly 0-3, a result that allows them to breathe more easily and move away from the most dangerous positions. This away victory is a fundamental lifeline.

Match details:
  • Levante showed great offensive effectiveness by scoring three goals.
  • They kept a clean sheet, achieving a solid defense.
  • The three points obtained are vital for their survival objective.
Winning on a tough pitch like Sevilla's marks a turning point in the season for any bottom-table team.

Girona also picks up points away

In parallel, Girona FC secured an important victory at Son Moix against RCD Mallorca. The final score of 1-2 strengthens the Gerundense team's position in the middle of the table and, at the same time, complicates the situation for the Balearic team, which is being dragged towards the danger zone.

Keys to Girona's victory:
  • They managed to overcome Mallorca on their own stadium.
  • The win consolidates Girona in the middle of the table.
  • This defeat sinks Mallorca further into the fight against relegation.

Oviedo fails to leave the last position

The situation is more delicate for Real Oviedo. The Asturian team could only draw 1-1 against Deportivo Alavés at the Carlos Tartiere stadium. This single point is not enough for them to leave the last position in the standings, the lantern red, keeping the club in a critical direct relegation position.

Consequences of the draw:
  • Oviedo remains as the bottom team in LaLiga EA Sports.
  • Alavés, with this point, moves slightly away from the relegation spots.
  • It shows that in the bottom zone, sometimes a draw is not enough.

The balance of the matchday in the survival fight

Matchday 18 made it clear that victories make the difference, especially those achieved away from home. While Levante and Girona took a step forward with important wins, Oviedo stagnated. The table is tightening, and every result takes on huge importance, defining which teams manage to escape and which sink into the red zone. 🏆
