Girona vs Tenerife Prediction for Segunda Playoff

Girona is a part of Manchester City’s worldwide City Football Group. It met third-placed Eibar in the last four and upset the odds by emerging victorious.

After a 1-0 defeat at home in the first leg, Girona staged a comeback with an impressive 2-0 away win after extra time in the return leg.

Tenerife, meanwhile, took on fourth-placed Las Palmas and won 1-0 at home in the first meeting.

In the second leg, it secured its place in the final clash of Girona vs Tenerife with a 2-1 win on the road.

The fact that both sides recorded away wins in the second legs of their semi-final ties certainly means they will each head into the final collision full of confidence.

Now, at Barstool Sportsbook, Girona is rated as the favorite for a home win in the first leg at +104.

The price for a Tenerife win moreover is +280. The draw is rated at +200 with kick-off at the Estadi Montilivi at 3:00 pm ET.

Girona was certainly fortunate to land its place in the play-offs as its form slumped and it lost four of its last eight regular-season games.

However, it recovered in time with a 2-0 win against Mirandes followed by a 0-0 draw against Burgos in the final game – securing its position in the end-of-season shoot-out.

Meanwhile, Tenerife lost its last three regular-season games but still stumbled through to the play-offs.

So its form has certainly improved since that troubling end to the regular season campaign.
