Second-placed Elche take on Deportivo La Coruna at the Riazor on the final day of the Segunda Division on Sunday in their one last push for the league crown. With promotion already secured, Los Franjiverdes are aiming to finish the season as second tier winners but need Levante to slip-up on the last day.
Levante are two points ahead in first with 76 points. A draw for them coupled with a win for Elche will bring both sides level on points, and goal difference will come into play to decide the champion.
Levante (+26) are ahead of Elche (+21) in that regard unless Elche beat Deportivo by at least six goals, which appears unlikely. Eder Sarabia's side overcame Malaga in 2-0 in their last game, courtesy of second-half strikes from Sory Kaba and Mourad Daoudi.
Trending
Meanwhile, Deportivo have lost their last three league games, which ironically came following a crushing 5-1 victory over Albacete. Gijon inflicted a 2-1 loss on them before Granada (3-2) and Real Zaragoza (1-0) followed suit.
Such a slump in form has seen Deportivo drop to 15th in the standings with 53 points from 41 games, narrowly escaping relegation.
