The sports betting points to a great end to the season. Among them is Lanzarote, which occupies playoff positions and aims to play next season in the national category. There are two days left and the Lanzarote team will have to fight to maintain its place in the promotion zone.

Their rivals are important clubs in Canarian football. Mensajero was in Segunda B two years ago and is fighting side by side with Lanzarote to play the promotion phase to Segunda B. The team from La Palma, which played in the playoff last year, aspired to first position, but has not had its best season and will have to settle for another of the three available places. Unión Viera, from Gran Canaria, is starring in one of the surprises of the season in the Third Division and also aspires to be among the top four positions. The other candidate to play the promotion is Tenerife B. The subsidiaries are always dangerous and more so in Canarian football, where the lack of clubs in Segunda B means that players cannot develop in other destinations and stay in the second team for a few seasons.

The Arrecife team aspires to second position in the group, as the first place has an owner. This is Tamaraceite, a humble club from the island of Tenerife that has completed a brilliant course to reach the promotion phase as champion of its group, which gives it one more opportunity in the objective of promotion. It has undoubtedly been the great revelation of the Canarian group of the Third Division.

Lanzarote will have to win the last two games to ensure its presence in the playoff, as the equality between the four teams that aspire to three places is maximum. Between second and fifth there are only two points difference. To do this, they must win away to Las Zocas, bottom and already relegated to Regional Preferente; and arrive with the maximum options to a last day that can be exciting. Lanzarote and Mensajero face each other on the island of Lanzarote in a key duel that could leave one of these two historic Canarian clubs out of the playoff.

Lanzarote's objective is to return to the Second Division B nine years later. The last season in which it played in national category football was 2009-2010, when a relegation ended nine seasons in the second division of Spanish football. The most striking thing about his long stay was the dispute of a Copa del Rey tie against Real Madrid. The most successful club in the world visited the Ciudad Deportiva de Lanzarote on November 28, 2001, with more than 10,000 people in the field. Fans were able to see world-class players such as Figo or the last two Real Madrid coaches, Solari and Zinedine Zidane.
