The outcome of the direct clash played this Friday in Alcalá de Henares leaves Eldense in an unbeatable position. If they win in Seville, they could secure direct promotion next Saturday, May 16, in the penultimate matchday of the championship. In that game, the Alicante team will host Atlético de Madrid's reserve team in Elda.
To achieve this, the team coached by Claudio Barragán must defeat Sevilla Atlético, who have already been relegated for several matchdays, at the Jesús Navas stadium. In case of a blue and red victory, Eldense would be three points ahead of Sabadell and four points ahead of the 'colchonero' reserve team, thus being one step away from returning to professional football, a category in which they played for the previous two seasons.
“"Anyone who thinks we are going to win easily in Seville is mistaken. The Sevilla reserve team, despite being at the bottom and having no chance of staying up, is a team that does not give up."
With a key player out due to accumulated yellow cards, Eldense could field a lineup including Ramón Vila, Ibarrondo, Álex Serradell, Floris Smand, David Ruiz, Guille Macho, Marcos Bustillo, Manu Molina, Borja Calvo, Fidel Chaves, and Dioni Villalba.
