La Liga 2

[BeanBeany]

I know there are a few of us on here who follow teams / this league, huge weekend ahead Elche v Levante, 1st against 2nd 30k+ sell-out sadly I'm back in the UK as of this week so won't be there. In addition to that there is also Santander v Oviedo 3rd against 4th.

Elche have done hugely well this season having bought in a manager who didn't have much experience and a pretty average record where he had been head coach, play some really nice football. A win on Sunday and they will be at least 5 points clear with 3 to go!

Real Jaén consigned to the playoffs after finishing 2nd in Tercera Federación Grupo 9.

They always lose in the playoffs

Just watched Cadiz v Almería, unbelievable match. Almería played the majority of the match with 9 men. 5 minutes injury time and they were 0-1 up in 95th minute. They lost 2-1!

Been to eschew twice and levante once. My lucky levante scarf never got us up this year but it will next year.
I hope the pair of them go up

If I'm reading the report right, they had another sent off after the final whistle as well !

The report I read said the second sending off was harsh.

Levante win keeps it interesting at the top

Zaragoza late winner against Cartagena sends Tenerife down to the 3rd tier again. I really enjoyed going to games when I lived there.

Granada lost 0-2 at home against Eibar tonight.

Keeps Almería in the last play off position.

Fingers crossed for the rest of the season.

Elche got it over the line on the last day, looked like they might blow it a couple of matches ago but all good in the end.

Not sure who I fancy for the play-offs but guess Almeria are the outsiders on league position and given the form of Oviedo and Mirandes over the last month or so.

Tonight’s promotion party in Elche, looks like a good evening!

Bad news for UD Almería.

Luis Suárez has been called up for international duty. He misses both legs of the semi final.

He is the top scorer in the league this season. So will be missed a lot.

Real Jaén got through the first round of the play-offs. They lost the first leg of the second round 1-0. Second leg at home on Sunday. The forecast at the moment is 37 degrees on Sunday!

Brutal, hopefully get a result, have a bit of a soft spot for the Jaen area as my parents had friends there and had a good few visits as a child

I went there for the first time this year. My wife and I enjoyed ourselves there a lot.

We got half season tickets this year. Most of the stadium is uncovered so the sun and temperature is no joke. Thinking about paying extra for the shade on Sunday

Who's the opposition ?

(Yeah - I could google it but can't be @rsed ;-) )

Despite a minor flirtation with the relegation zone in April / early May, a quiet and unspectacular end to the season for us
