The second leg matches of the promotion playoff semifinals to La Liga promise maximum excitement, with Almería, Málaga, Castellón, and Las Palmas still having chances to reach the final. After the first 90 minutes, Almería and Málaga hold a slight advantage, but qualification remains open for all contenders.

The tie between Castellón and Almería will be decided in a high-tension duel. The Castellón side will seek an upset at the UD Almería Stadium, while the Almería team relies on their league standing and home advantage to secure their spot. Efficiency and emotional management will be key.

For Castellón to reach the final, they need a win in the second leg. Meanwhile, Almería, who finished third in the league, would advance with a draw after a hypothetical extra time, leveraging their solid performance and experience.

In the other semifinal, Málaga defends its lead against Las Palmas at La Rosaleda. The blue-and-white team aims to confirm their qualification in front of their fans, while the yellow team is forced to come back, needing to win by two goals to keep their promotion hopes alive.

Málaga could secure their place even with a narrow defeat after extra time, thanks to their better league position. Las Palmas, conversely, will have to take risks to turn the tie around, seeking a balance between ambition and defensive solidity.

The second leg matches will be played on Tuesday, June 9 (Almería vs. Castellón, 21:00) and Wednesday, June 10 (Málaga vs. Las Palmas, 21:00). Only two teams will earn a ticket to the season's grand final.
