Girona has been looking for an impossible since 2017-18: to chain three victories

Girona has in its hand to step, for the first time this season, the playoff positions of promotion to First. On Thursday he receives Logroñés in Montilivi and to equal the 27 points of Rayo and Ponferradina and be among the first six classified, he must win. The accounts are clear in the dressing room and, in addition, the footballers are eager because if they manage to beat Logroñés they will certify their third victory in a row. This is something that not only has this campaign not achieved, but It is time to go back to 2017-18 to see the last time that Girona was able to win three league games in a row.

The current feelings of the Girona team are very good because They come from winning at home to Mirandés (1-0) and away to Albacete (0-2). This Thursday's duel against Logroñés is marked in red and Francisco has already been clear with his squad: he does not want relaxation. This season they have already missed the opportunity to certify three consecutive wins on two occasions. After beating Leganés (0-1) and Oviedo (1-0), Lugo (3-0) was the first team that prevented them from adding nine points out of nine possible. A few days later, the opportunity was presented again, but it escaped them in Almería. They attended the Mediterranean Games after winning Castellón (0-1) and Cartagena (2-1) and failed to get past the tie (0-0). That was a point that tasted like a triumph because it was the duel in which they suffered three expulsions.

It is expected that the third time will be the charm and beating Logroñés would undoubtedly give them a qualitative leap in the table. Of course, an easy duel does not await them because Girona will have to show its best version in Montilivi. The data indicate that in recent years it has been impossible for him to seal three consecutive victories in the League and that is something that has not been achieved since the first campaign in history in the First Division, with Pablo Machín on the bench. It was 2017-18 and it was also done twice. First, from matchdays 9 to 11, against Depor (1-2), Real Madrid (2-1) and Levante (1-2) and then, from 26 to 28, by beating Celta (1-0), Villarreal (0-2) and Depor (2-0).
