The Spanish Segunda Division is a notoriously competitive league, and this year, the competition for places in La Liga is fierce.
While Levante, who finished top of the standings and Elche have punched their tickets to the elite division, there is still one more promotion spot to be decided via a playoff.
Teams that finished third through sixth position will all be involved in the four-team playoff to determine the final promotion spot.
Almeria, Oviedo, Racing Santander and Mirandes will all vie for the remaining La Liga spot to be filled ahead of the new season.
Spanish Segunda Division winner odds – which team will join Levante and Elche in La Liga next season?
Almeria (13/2)
Almeria were teetering on the edge of missing out on the chance to gain promotion completely, as they were sixth in the standings for weeks, but they managed to hang on and book their place.
Many pundits regarded Almeria as favourites to make an immediate return to the elite division, but their quest for promotion has been hampered by the sale of important players like Sadiq Umar, and their situation is similar to that of Leeds United, who were forced to cash in on a host of key players last summer
The Cowboys now have a chance to return to the elite division for the first time since they were relegated at the end of the 2023/24 season.
Racing Santader (8/1)
Racing fans had good reason to be optimistic about their team's chances of claiming an automatic promotion spot midway through the season.
The Green and White sat second in the table after 20 games, but a run of inconsistent performance in the second half of the season saw them finish fifth.
A good showing in the playoff could send them back to the elite division after 13 years in the second tier.
Real Oviedo (12/1)
Last season's finalists, Real Oviedo, were within two points of clinching a promotion ticket, but they fell short by two points after the regular season.
They made a charge for automatic promotion in the final weeks of the campaign, but they fell short, finishing on 75 points, two behind Elche, who secured the second spot.
