EVERYTHING IS READY

With almost all national competitions stops due to international matches, it's time to make a review of the National League of Andorra.
At the top (play-off for the title), Lusitans is close to clinch it.. Six-point ahead with 3 games remaining, mean that men of Carlos Sánchez can be champions in the next match. By the way, Sánchez is the 3rd manager so far this season, a very strange thing for a team that has ever been leading. Recall that Marquis Vincente left the team at the end of participation in Europe; Salva Estruch took over and, a few weeks before the end of the regular season was dismissed.
Behind Lusitans is a close fight between the other three teams to decide the second place (and consequentemente, place in Europa League), 2 points separate Sant Julia de FC Santa Coloma and, they are one point ahead of the other "colomenc" team, the UE Santa Coloma. These three teams have made a league quite irregular. For FC Santa Coloma, the lack of scoring this year has made that, even they have lost only one match, like Lusitans, Luis Blanco's men are 8 points away of these, having conceded eight draws. Sant Julià has alternated good games with some not so good, but failed to ever win Lusitans. A victory in the next game (Sant Julia v Lusitans), would open many options for Josep M ª Espot "Canito". Meanwhile, Lluís Aloy team, which has been the only one to win Lusitans (2-1 in Week 2), is doing a pretty weak play-off (1 point in 3 games). Next week we could have a champion or, have it all quite complicated. We'll see what happens.
On the bottom (play-off for the relegation), the only thing that seems to be coming out is Principat. 7 points lead for Raul Cañete over the last (FC Encamp), it seems that they are away from danger, after a season where it seemed that this team had more options. Maybe not to enter the fight for the title, but to be closer to there and not to the relagation. Engordany and Inter have 12 points and Encamp 1 less. Here, the situation is complicated and changes weekly. Inter started with only 6 points but has got two victories. Meanwhile, Engordany and Encamp have added only 1 point each (the match between them, which ended 1-1);  both, Oscar Guerrero as Pepe Mengual must work hard to avoid relegation and promotion places, it seems that Alain Montwani's have a more positive dynamic. In any case, the matchs next week can clarify many things. Losing, for any of the three back would make to be very difficult to remain in First Divisió. Remain in tune!
