Eldense is counting the hours until the final regular-season match at Enrique Roca. Fernando Estévez’s squad will learn this Saturday whether they secure direct promotion to the Second Division or must enter the playoff route. To reclaim first place and advance to professional football, Eldense must defeat Real Murcia on their home turf, while Athletic B must overcome Amorebieta. Only this exact combination allows Eldense to move straight into Division Two.
Real Murcia enters the playoff frame with their supporters in the stands. They would need a win over Eldense and then await the outcomes of the clashes between Barça B and Real Sociedad B. Real Murcia will compete in a stadium where the club aims to fill the stands with around 30,000 fans, making the atmosphere highly charged. Eldense will not be without company in Murcia; more than 300 fans are set to travel to bolster the away side and witness the unfolding drama from Bilbao, where Amorebieta faced a draw last week and remains in contention to return to the Second Division.
Eldense is skeptical of Amorebieta’s close relationship with Athletic
The remaining two promotion spots in Group II will be decided among three clubs. Real B holds a temporary edge with 59 points, while Barcelona B has 58 and Real Murcia 56, keeping the possibilities open. The Real Murcia–Eldense match will take place at Nueva Condomina, and for Mario Simón’s squad, only a home victory offers real qualifying chances.
Maximum anticipation surrounds Eldense supporters as the Nuevo Pepico Amat has been packed in recent fixtures. On the emotional final day, the club will fight until the final whistle.
