Racing de Santander will host Granada at El Sardinero on Sunday in the final round of the 2024-25 Segunda Division regular season. Both sides will be desperate to get the all-important points to confirm qualification for the promotion playoffs on the final day.
Racing were disappointed to drop points for a fourth consecutive game in the final seconds of last weekend's meeting with Eldense, which ended in a 3-3 draw, leaving their promotion playoffs chances hanging in the balance going into the final matchday. Los Verdiblancos are currently sat in fifth place, three points clear of Sunday’s visitors and only need a draw to confirm a top-six finish.
Granada needed an 89th-minute winner to get all three points in their 2-1 victory over Castellon last time out to mark their 18th league win of the season. The Nazaries had a poor first half of the season but have improved markedly in recent games and will pip their weekend opponents to a playoff spot with maximum points on Sunday.
