Girona B visits the Balearic Stadium on Sunday
Girona B faces a challenging away game this Sunday (12 pm) at the Estadi Balear against CD Atlético Baleares in a direct clash for the play-off spots for promotion to Primera Federación. Quique Álvarez's team, currently fourth with 15 points, aims to maintain their good form and consolidate their position in the upper part of the standings against a close rival, who is fifth with 14 points.
The Girona team comes into the match after a commendable draw at Montilivi against FC Barcelona Atlètic (0-0), a result that reinforced the team's defensive solidity and extended a good streak of performances and results. Now, the red-and-whites want to take another step forward away from home and demonstrate their maturity in one of the most challenging stadiums in the group.
Atlético Baleares, led by Luis Blanco - former assistant to Manolo González at Espanyol - is going through a tough period: they have gone five matches without a win and are coming off a heavy defeat (4-0) at Reus. The Mallorcan team played almost the entire match with one player less due to the expulsion of Jaume Pol in the 5th minute. The defender, who is suspended, will be unavailable this Sunday. Despite this, they come into the game with confidence after defeating Gimnàstic de Tarragona midweek in the Copa del Rey.
In the Balearic squad, there are two players with a red-and-white past: Moha Keita and Girona native Jofre Cherta, who will face their former club.
The match promises excitement and intensity between two teams separated by just one point and sharing the goal of staying in the fight for the top spots. Girona B wants to capitalize on their good momentum and collective solidity to keep dreaming of an exciting season.
