Mirandes host Oviedo at the Estadio Municipal de Anduva on Sunday for the first leg of their Segunda Division Promotion Play-offs.
For the first time in 10 years, Mirandes finished inside the top 10 places of the division and earned a passage here.
With 22 wins and 75 points from 42 games, Los Rojillos finished in fourth position in the second-tier league table. That secured their place in the semi-finals of the play-offs where they faced Racing.
In the first leg away from home, Mirandes were pegged back by two late goals as the sides played out a pulsating 3-3 stalemate. But on home turf, Alessio Lisci's side won 4-1 to win the tie 7-4 on aggregate.
Trending
Now, Mirandes are only two games away from sealing a historic maiden promotion to LaLiga. But standing in their way are Oviedo, who finished level on points with them in the league phase but came in third by virtue of their superior head-to-head record.
In the semi-finals, Los Azules beat Almeria 3-2 on aggregate to get here. A 2-1 win on the road was followed by a 1-1 draw at home, with Santi Cazorla scoring a 49th-minute equalizer to restore their aggregate lead and send them into the finals.
Now, Oviedo stand on the cusp of history as they are now close to ending a 24-year wait to return to the Spanish top tier.
