📆 Tension at boiling point, Segunda's penultimate round all at once
The Segunda División faces its moment of truth with a nerve-shredding penultimate matchday. LaLiga has confirmed that all matches with something at stake will be played on Sunday, May 24 at 18:30.
This unified kickoff time guarantees maximum excitement and competitive fairness on an afternoon when radios will once again take center stage in stadiums across Spain.
The main focus will be on the battle for automatic promotion. Racing de Santander, the current leaders with 75 points, will visit a Málaga side fighting to secure its playoff spot. The Cantabrian club could seal promotion a week early, but several favorable results would need to go their way.
Behind them, the fight is wide open: Deportivo de La Coruña and Almería, currently level on 71 points, have no margin for error. "Dépor" travel to the home of Valladolid, while the Andalusian side will face Sporting at El Molinón, both chasing that coveted second place.
At the top end of the table, the battle for the playoff spots is red hot. Teams such as Las Palmas (66 pts), Castellón (65 pts) and Eibar (64 pts) depend on themselves to stay in the race.
At the bottom, the survival drama is absolute. Cultural Leonesa and Real Zaragoza come into the round in the automatic relegation places and simply have to win to stay alive going into the final matchday. Mirandés and Huesca, both on 36 points, sit right on the survival line in an agonising battle where nerves and defensive tension will shape the fate of their respective sporting projects.
