The goal average, a 'problem' in the tough fight for the playoff

In a tight League final, the more details are controlled and in favor, the better. Girona can be reassured that, currently, the dynamics of results (it has added 19 of the last 24 points) and its position in the table (sixth) smile at it and allow it to occupy a playoff position, but there is a 'problem': reaching the last day tied on points with one of his direct rivals would hurt him. The explanation is clear because has the goal average against Almería, Leganés, Sporting and Rayo. Hence the importance of staying on the right track and avoiding stumbling blocks that make you pull out the calculator. Because this one, in the event of a tie on points, would not show you a positive result.

Girona is living, although right now it is stable and euphoric, a season of ups and downs and the less good moments of the course have coincided with the stages in which they have faced the teams that are now direct rivals. It's more, taking into account the results against Almería, Leganés, Sporting and Rayo Vallecano, the Girona team have only celebrated one victory in seven games. It was against Leganés (0-1), at the start of the League. The rest of the duels are counted with disappointment because in the second round against the cucumber team, in Montilivi, they fell 0-2 and the against Almería (0-0 and 0-1) and Rayo (0-0 and 2-1) they were only able to add one point out of six possible. Of course, there is still time to cut ground in this fight for the goal average because Sporting has to visit Girona in Montilivi. It is a duel marked in red by the rojiblancos because the Asturians, fifth, are only ahead of them by one point. In the first round, the Girona team fell 2-0 and this makes them have to row a lot to turn the goal average around. Of course, after Girona-Sporting, only three games will remain for the final of the League and the Girona team would surely sign to win and not have it in their favor.

Although the goal average does not smile at Girona against its direct rivals in the fight for the playoff, the rojiblancos know that they depend on themselves to finish the course among the six best Second Team teams and play the promotion playoffs. Currently they are sixth, with one point more than Rayo, seventh, and they do not stop looking up because, for example, Almería, third, see it at five points. There are five rounds left to play and each win is worth gold because it not only brings you closer to the goal, but also adds pressure to your direct rivals. Girona is clear about its path towards the goal and this Sunday it continues against Logroñés. The calendar of the rojiblanco block will not give them a break because afterwards they will face Sporting, Malaga, Alcorcón and they will finish the League in Cartagena. It's time to row to get to the mainland alive.
