Quarterfinals of the playoffs for promotion to the smartbank league (Spanish second division) between Castellon and Peña Deportiva. In a tie of these, a single game only and without the public, it cannot be said that there is a very clear favorite, but I do think that Castellon starts this game with an advantage, both per team and game shown throughout the “season “As by aspirations.
I will start by talking about the “local” team (they play in the Rosaleda) who finished their season in March the first of their group with a balance of 50 points in 28 games played with a goal difference of +16 (40-24). He fell against Logroñes on penalties on Saturday and was one step away from being a second division team. The truth is that he was close, literally 8 minutes after being one, and he was with 1 more man on the field than his rival during the half hour of the extension. But for one thing or another I end up losing and on Thursday I will be in a 2-match fight to the death to compensate.
And now the “visiting” team, the Peña Deportiva, finished fourth in their group with a total of 45 points in 28 games and a goal balance of +2 (43-41). He reaches this semifinal after having removed Marbella, who was second in his group. A goal quite early in the minute 2 and a great defense has two games of glory for them.
My prediction is that the castle will win two goals difference, I am not going to say that it is easy because as I said at the beginning here everyone is strong but I think that the castle stood up and in that way until the end to the achievement. An achievement that for me along with Ibiza were the clearest teams I saw to ascend. I foresee a game dominated by the Castellón at stake and occasions, it will be difficult to get ahead, although I do not think this time that the defense of the Peña Deportiva will stop 90 minutes for a Castellon who will die after the Saturday.
PREDICTION: Castellon to win @ 1,58
