The final matchday of Spain’s La Liga 2 season will take place this weekend. Two promotion playoff places will be decided on the final day.
Oviedo and Racing Santander are trying to hold off a late charge from Sporting Gijon. Can they do it?
Sporting Gijon’s future is not in their control. Gijon are two points behind Oviedo and Santander. A win for Sporting and loss by either Oviedo and Santander would send them into the playoffs. Sporting Gijon won 2-0 in their reverse fixture against Eldense.
Eldense will play La Liga 2 football next season. There is no pressure on the team ahead of the final day. They will go into the match in good form, with seven points taken from the last nine on offer.
Sporting are coming off a win over Eibar 1-0. The win came following a demoralising 2-1 defeat to Leganes. The game won’t be straightforward, as Gijon failed to win five of their last six away games.
Mirandes go into the final day of the season, with the possibility of being relegated. They are 18th and just one point ahead of 19th-place Amorebieta. Mirandes failed to win their last four La Liga 2 games, but did draw back-to-back matches ahead of matchday 42.
This is essentially a playoff game, with the two teams battling for life in La Liga 2 meeting on the final day. The home team won the last five games between these teams. Amorebieta won 2-0 in the reverse fixture.
Mirandes won the last two matches at home against Amorebieta by identical 2-0 scores. Amorebieta are in good form ahead of the game. They took seven points from the last nine on offer.
Albacete went unbeaten in their last four head-to-head games against Real Zaragoza in all competitions. That run of form included two wins and two draws. Albacete won 1-0 at home in the reverse fixture.
Real Zaragoza will go into the weekend unbeaten in their last two games. They took four points from six, scoring four goals and conceding two.
Albacete went unbeaten in their last six La Liga 2 games, picking up 14 points. They are fresh off a 2-2 draw with Mirandes.
Levante claimed a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture between these teams. The home team won the last two head-to-head games.
Huesca can technically still be relegated, as they are only three points ahead of Amorebieta. However, Huesca’s goal difference is superior and a major goal swing would be needed for them to be relegated. Huesca are coming off a 2-0 win against Cartagena.
Levante will miss out on the playoffs thanks to a poor run of form in the final weeks of the season. They drew each of their last three La Liga 2 games. They scored four times and conceded four times in those three matches.
