3 years ago 714

Girona and Tenerife will be battling for a place in La Liga next season over two legs of the Segunda Division Playoffs final with the first leg coming at Estadi Montilivi on Saturday night.

Both sides were considered fortunate to feature in playoffs having finished the regular season in fifth and sixth, and with both sides finishing the league in poor forms they were seen as underdogs heading into the playoffs.

It became even worst for Girona following their 1-0 defeat at home in the first leg of their semi-final tie to the then favorites Eibar, but they showed character and took full advantage of their opportunity to play in La Liga next as they claimed a 2-0 victory in the second leg.

As for Tenerife, who lost all their final three matches in the regular season, claimed a 1-0 victory at home over Las Palmas, who finished two points above them and in much better form, in the first leg. They followed that up with goals in the first half of second leg at away, winning the contest 3-1 on aggregate.

Now both Girona and Tenerife head into the first leg of the final full of confidence and we believe we will witness a very close contested 180 minutes of football over the two legs. We expect a mouthwatering encounter between two, with Girona looking to return since 2019 while Tenerife since 2010.

Girona vs Tenerife head to head
