UD Almeria and Girona FC meet in the semifinals of the promotion playoff in the Segunda Division. The return match will be played on Sunday, from 18:00, on the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos, without spectators.
Almeria started this semifinal with their left hand, but the chances for qualifying for the final are still high. Even if they had the best attack of the regular season, Guti’s students did not impress on their own field, where they had a record of 10 victories, 7 defeats and 4 draws.
On the other hand, Girona showed an extremely modest away game, where they recorded 3 wins, 7 draws and 11 defeats. Also, Juan Carlos Unzue’s team had the second weakest defense away, with 30 goals conceded in 21 stages. Moreover, Girona is without a win away in the last eight games of the Segunda Division (three defeats).
Even if they lost 1-0 in the round match, Almeria still has real chances to qualify for the promotion playoff final. We are betting on a duel in which Almeria will not lose. We must not forget that it is a decisive match for qualification, therefore, we should not witness a high number of goals scored.
