Last 90 minutes, all or nothing, for Almeria, who are fighting for a place in the promotion playoffs on the 42nd and final matchday of LaLiga 2. At the Power Horse Stadium, the home side has the chance to lock in sixth place—the last available spot for qualifying for the playoffs that offer a ticket to La Liga. If Almeria wins against Tenerife, they would be mathematically certain of qualification. They could even leapfrog Racing Santander, currently fifth with a two-point lead, if the latter fails to get a positive result against Granada—a team just one point behind Almeria and still in the playoff race. It's a true final sprint, with several teams involved and results that will keep fans on the edge of their seats until the last second. On paper, Almeria has a favorable fixture against a Tenerife side already relegated after a disappointing season. The Blanquiazules, coached by Álvaro Cervera, have said goodbye to the division after twelve consecutive seasons in Spain's second tier, paying the price for a dull and underwhelming campaign. For them, this final match represents a chance to finish with dignity before turning the page and starting to rebuild, with a clear goal: returning immediately to LaLiga 2. Almeria, meanwhile, must collect all three points in front of their home crowd to keep chasing their dream of returning to La Liga just one year after relegation.

Almeria Recent Form and Key Stats

In the previous round, Almeria managed only a 0-0 draw away at Mirandes, a side still chasing direct promotion to La Liga. That result followed a crucial 2-0 home win over Racing Santander, with goals from Arribas and Puigmal.

In their last five matches, Almeria have recorded three wins, one draw, and one loss, with an average of 2 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per game.

Under Rubi, the team has so far collected 66 points from 18 wins, 12 draws, and 11 losses, and boasts the best attack in the league with 70 goals scored (average of 1.7 per game). At home, they’ve lost only one league match all season (12 wins, 7 draws).

At Power Horse Stadium, they’re on a run of six consecutive home victories, and more generally, an unbeaten streak of ten home games.

Tenerife Recent Form and Key Stats

Tenerife comes into this fixture after back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Cartagena and Real Oviedo. In their last five matches, they’ve recorded two losses and three draws, with a worrying average of just 0.4 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match.

Álvaro Cervera’s side is clearly struggling offensively, having failed to score in their last three games.

With only 36 points (8 wins, 12 draws, 12 losses), the Blanquiazules are mathematically relegated to the Primera Federación, averaging 0.85 goals scored and 1.29 conceded per game. On the road, they've managed only 8 points (1 win, 5 draws, 14 losses).

A small silver lining: Tenerife have lost only one of their last four away matches (two draws and one win).
