Mirandes visit bottom-side Cartagena at the Cartagonova on Sunday in their final Segunda Division fixture of the 2024-25 season.
With 72 points from 41 games, Los Rojillos are fourth but aiming to sneak into the top two with a victory and stand a chance of gaining direct promotion. However, they need second-placed Elche to lose at Deportivo la Coruna and third-placed Real Oviedo not beating Cadiz at home.
Mirandes have never qualified for the top division of Spanish football but have a great chance at glory. Win or lose, they're assured of at least the promotion playoffs.
Trending
After going four games without a win between March and April, Alessio Lisci's side won their next four before Almeria snapped that run with a goalless draw last weekend.
By contrast, Cartagena play their last Segunda Division game for at least a year, as they have been relegated to the third tier following a disastrous campaign. The Aladrokes have won just six times in 41 games and lost a staggering 30.
The Murcia outfit have conceded 75 times, 13 more than any other team in the division.
