🏆 Who's going up to La Liga? Elche, Oviedo and Mirandés in the mix today
🏆 Who's going up to La Liga? Elche, Oviedo and Mirandés in the mix today Fans don't call it the Hypertension League for nothing... Today, the Hypermotion League, the second division of Spanish football, puts the last direct promotion spot up for grabs. Starting at 18:30, there will be a unified matchday in what promises to be an electrifying round. Advertisement Elche is the clear favorite in this battle, but Real Oviedo and Mirandés also have their chances if the Franjiverdes slip up. Let's review the options for the three clubs hoping to reach the top division today: What does Elche need? If they win at Riazor against Deportivo La Coruña, they are promoted. If they draw, Sarabia's side must hope that Mirandés doesn't win, because the head-to-head favors the team from Anduva. A three-way tie on points also favors Elche. If they lose, Oviedo and Mirandés must also lose. What do Real Oviedo and Mirandés need? The Carbayón side only has one scenario: beat Cádiz at the Tartiere and hope Elche loses at Riazor. Advertisement Mirandés needs to win at Cartagonova and for both Elche and Oviedo to either draw or lose. The last two playoff spots up for grabs Three teams in contention, but only two spots available. One of those two spots will come from the Racing de Santander-Granada match. Granada must win, but Racing only needs a draw to qualify, and could even make it through with a loss as long as Almería doesn't beat Tenerife. Almería's situation is clear: a win against relegated Tenerife puts them in the promotion playoffs. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

On-loan Barcelona forward capturing strong attention in Argentina
Recent reports from SPORT have revealed that Barcelona forward Lucas 'Pocho' Roman, currently on loan to Cartagena, could be making a move back to Argentina, depending on how negotiations unfold. The talks are still in their early stages, and it remains uncertain whether the deal will materialise. Pocho Roman, despite playing for Cartagena, who are currently struggling at the bottom of the Hypermotion League table, has been one of the few bright spots for the club. The Argentine winger has impressed with his performances, managing to score two goals this season and establishing himself as a key player for Cartagena. In Argentina, reports have suggested that Independiente de Avellaneda is in talks with Barcelona over the possibility of bringing Roman back to his home country. The move is reportedly driven by Independiente's coach, Julio Vaccari, who urgently needs a winger to replace Santiago Montiel, who is sidelined with an injury. The 20-year-old forward had joined Barcelona from Argentine club Ferrocarril Oeste for a transfer fee of €1.2 million as part of the club's ongoing strategy to tap into the promising talent in Argentina. After his arrival at Barça, Roman was sent to Barça Atletic, but his time there did not see him develop into a key player under coach Rafa Marquez. As a result, he was loaned out to Cartagena last summer in the hopes that he would gain more experience and improve his performance in a competitive league. Pocho Roman's contract with Barcelona runs until 2026, which complicates any potential move back to Argentina. With the transfer window closing soon, the situation remains tricky. Independiente would need to come up with a solution that satisfies both Barcelona and Cartagena, making the transfer quite challenging in the short time available. Whether Pocho Roman returns to Argentina or continues his development in Spain will depend on how these negotiations evolve over the coming days.
