The last day of LaLiga Hypermotion will be played next Sunday, June 2, with several teams fighting for objectives. At stake is the second place for direct promotion, which will be decided in two key matches: Leganés-Elche in Butarque and Eibar-Oviedo in Ipurua. A draw is enough for Leganés to ensure promotion to the top category, while Eibar needs to beat the Asturians and hope for a defeat for the pepineros against Elche.
In addition, Valladolid, already promoted, seeks to be crowned Second Division champion for the fourth time. To achieve this, they need to beat Tenerife or equal the result of Leganés.
Three teams compete for the two remaining places in the promotion playoffs. Eibar or Leganés, whoever does not promote directly, and Espanyol have already assured their presence in the promotion. The two remaining places will be disputed between Racing de Santander, Oviedo and Sporting. A hypothetical triple tie could leave Oviedo without promotion options and benefit Racing and Sporting. In the event of a tie between two teams, Oviedo would also be at a disadvantage if they equal on points with Sporting, while the Gijón team would be left out if they tied with Racing. If Oviedo and Racing tie and both lose on the last matchday while Sporting wins, the tiebreaker would be resolved by the overall goal difference, currently in favor of Oviedo. However, Sporting must win in Elda to maintain their playoff hopes.
In the fight to avoid relegation, Villarreal B, Andorra and Alcorcón have already lost the category, and the last relegation place will be decided in the direct confrontation between Mirandés and Amorebieta in Anduva. Mirandés only needs a draw to save itself, while Amorebieta must win to ensure its permanence for the second consecutive season in the Second Division.
