Darea predators. Tenerife and Girona put many of their hopes at the feet of their top scorers – in the form of goals – to be able to play next season in the First Division. Enric Gallego, for Tenerife, and Stuani, for Gironathey dream of scoring the ascent goal.
The Heliodorus count the hours to reveal the identity of the team that will accompany this Sunday to First Division to Almera and Valladolid through the promotion playoffs. Girona and Tenerife face the event with the same perspective and each of them has their respective predator in the area to help them achieve their dream goal.
Some experienced strikers
Both accumulate tons of experience and will be the main arguments for Catalans and islanders when it comes to making the leap to the elite. The Uruguayan Cristhian Stuani is, at 35 years old, one of the strikers with the most pedigree in the Second Division. He is in his fifth season Montilivi and has been the top filmmaker in the category twice, in the 2019-20 and in the current course.
On the blue and white side we find Enric Gallego, who also at 35 has managed to establish himself as the main offensive weapon of the team directed by Luis Miguel Ramis. He has scored a dozen goals this season and two last, in the stadium of Gran Canaria against Las Palmas, stamped Tenerife’s visa for this final. The Catalan attacker surpasses, for now, Elady Zorrilla (11 points), Samuel shashoua (6) and mario gonzlez (6) in the Heliodoro scoring ranking.
key quote
Gallego considers that this decisive match against Girona “we face it with great force and, above all, with much illusion. We are working well to close the season achieving the dream for which we have been fighting for so many months”.

Gallego throws flowers at Stuani
Gallego also praises the talent of Stuani whom he defines as “a great striker and a better finisher. He has a lot of goals and we only need to see the years he has been active and his figures in each of them. We will have to be careful with him because he is capable of defining any ball that it reaches the area”.

Lastly, the Blue and Whites’ ‘nine’ did not hesitate to ask for the support of the fans for this Sunday “because we all want to experience a good ending. We know that all the tickets are already sold and there will surely be a unique atmosphere this Sunday. I hope that they cheer us on throughout the game and that, together, we can achieve the goal of being in the First Division next year”, he concluded.
Despite the fact that Tenerife has not been one of the highest scoring teams in the category (there are 10 teams that have scored the most goals), they are one of the teams that have extracted the most revenue from their goals: has achieved 1.3 points per goal scored, the 4 best record in the category. The opportunism and success of players like Enric Gallego, Elady or Mario, added to their great defensive performance, has been key code in this aspect.
The goal is a matter of two by Montilivi
In Girona the goal is almost a matter of two. Stuani, with 23 goals, takes the cake as far as offensive responsibility is concerned. And it is that, the Uruguayan has shown again that his nose for goal is intact for another year to become the offensive stiletto of his team.
Luckily for those of Mchel Sanchezthe charra has had a luxury escort during the campaign as Nahuel Bustos. The Argentine has not accumulated as many minutes as his partner since the gallons throw, but when he has played he has responded to the call of the coach of Vallecas (a goal every 137 minutes, for a goal every 122 of the Uruguayan).
Stuani is about to throw the ball towards the rival goal.
With eleven goals, the player on loan from City has been the stuani’s squire in the distribution of goals. In fact, between the two purest forwards that Girona has, they add up to 57.6% of the goals (34) of the entire team (59).
Tala’s player has always been the first option for his coach, and the striker has not failed during the year, scoring goals of all colors, above all, at the first touch, with a header and, of course, from the start. penalty spot despite the fact that against Alcorcn he failed twice for the first time in his entire career.
A second line without a goal
Girona’s second line is the one that has been in evidence throughout the campaign when it comes to contributing goals for the team. The playmaker red and white, the great generators of the offensive game in the concept and philosophy of Mchel they have remained far from the registers desired by all.
Baenawith five goals, Samu Saiz (3), Borja Garcia (2) and Ivan Martin (0) have contributed a number of goals far from the quality they treasure. To further raise the brilliant numbers of Stuanithe international with Uruguay has scored one more goal (23) than the rest of his teammates (22), taking away the goals achieved by Nahuel Bustos (11), a datum for reflection.
A scoring defense
On the other hand, the defense has been up to the task offensively speaking, contributing eight goals to the team thanks, mainly, to his physical power. The three central Fixed in the eleven they have seen a rival goalkeeper –Bernardo (3), Juanpe (2) and Santi Bueno (1)-, the young man arnau too, and even Valeryleaving Jairus as the only member of the rear that has not yet wet.
Precisely the one in Santa Cruz de Tenerife you could spoil the party for your city team along with his teammates from Girona. It will be funny that Tenerife will debut against him Tenerife in the Heliodorus becoming the hero of the promotion for the Catalans.
