The 'panteras' from Málaga, who finished the regular season in third place, will compete against the team from Navarra, which ranked sixth, granting them home-court advantage for the decisive match. This series of games will take place after the conclusion of the EHF European Cup, where the team still has an outstanding commitment.

The team's schedule, led by Suso Gallardo, is intense in this final phase of the season. The players will travel directly from Galicia, where they will play an EHF European Cup match against Club Balonmano Atlético Guardes, to Navarra to face the first match of the tie.

The first match will be held at the Polideportivo Hermanos Induráin in Villava on Tuesday, April 28, at 7:00 PM. The return leg, which will determine advancement to the semi-finals, will be played at the Carranque pavilion on Sunday, May 3, at 12:00 PM, where Costa del Sol Málaga will have the support of its fans.

Previous encounters between both clubs this season suggest a very evenly matched tie. The first-round match in Navarra ended in a 23-23 draw, while the game played at Pérez Canca in January resulted in a 25-23 victory for Málaga. Both teams have competed in Europe this season, adding an extra incentive to this clash for a spot in the Liga Guerreras Iberdrola semi-finals.
