Prediction: 0-0
Alcorcon
Girona and Alcorcon face each other at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. The Catalan outfit have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Mirandes and Fuenlabrada, while sharing the spoils with Zaragoza. However, home win should not be considered as all Ortola, Izquierdo, and Saiz are banned for the match. Veteran attacker Stuani should continue to lead the line for the Catalans after scoring a late winner at Fuenlabrada.
Alcorcon, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table, with the team collecting only seven points in total from possible 39. The rock-bottom side aim to escape the relegation zone, and given the number of absentees in the home team, the share of spoils is on the cards. It has to be noted that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last five meetings in Segunda.
Highlighted Player (Antonio Luna):
Antonio Luna is a product of Sevilla football academy. The pacey left back was born in Son Servera, Spain on March 17, 1991 and he made his senior debut with Sevilla B. Antonio Luna made 32 appearances in the league for the reserve team, while playing 21 games for los Sevillanos in the Spanish top flight.
