Mirandes tries to reverse the slide in the table

Mirandes faces a critical situation: 19th place in the Segunda División with 40 points, coming from 10 wins, 10 draws and 22 losses in 42 games, and a recent run of LWDLL. The last match, a 1‑0 defeat to Leganés on May 31, left the side 42 points behind leaders Racing Santander. The board has responded by bringing in a new midfielder, hoping to inject energy before the transfer window closes.

What has caused the poor run?

The slide down the table is partly explained by a defence that has let in 69 goals while the attack has only scored 47, leaving a –22 goal difference. Defensive frailties were clear in the two most recent losses, both by a single goal. Moreover, a lack of leadership in midfield has limited chance creation, something the new signing aims to fix.

Who is the new signing and what does he bring?

The club announced the arrival of Javier Gómez, former Deportivo Alavés player, with experience in the Segunda División. Gómez, 27, is known for his vision and ball‑winning ability, traits that manager Juan Carlos Pérez called "exactly what we need to balance the team". He signed a two‑year deal with an optional third year and is expected to feature from the first training session.

What does this mean for the relegation battle?

If Gómez adapts quickly, Mirandes could improve its offensive output and cut down the goals conceded. With a 42‑point gap to the leaders, the task is huge, but every point matters in the final stretch. The upcoming clash with Girona will be decisive; a win could break the losing streak and give the squad a morale boost.

What is the short‑term outlook?

Mirandes needs at least three points from the next five games to move away from the relegation zone. The combination of a new midfielder, Pérez’s experience and the pressure from local fans could be the engine that drives improvement. Meanwhile, supporters keep hoping the team turns frustration into positive results before the season ends.
