Burgos CF faces Andorra in the final matchday of LaLiga Hypermotion, carrying the hope of promotion to Spain's top flight. Currently sitting in seventh place with 69 points, Burgos is not in control of its destiny. To secure a playoff spot, they must defeat Andorra and rely on at least one of the four teams above them, Castellรณn, Mรกlaga, Las Palmas, or Almerรญa, to falter.
The team, managed by Luis Miguel Ramis, enters the crucial game on a strong run of form, having gone several matches without a loss. Their recent 0-2 victory over Cultural Leonesa has fueled their promotion aspirations, allowing them to approach this final fixture with genuine possibilities. The club anticipates a full house at the Estadio El Plantรญo, with fans expected to provide a vociferous atmosphere to support their team in what could be one of the club's most significant matches in recent history.
Burgos will be without Kevin Appin due to suspension, and Mario Gonzรกlez is doubtful as he recovers from an injury. Their opponents, Andorra, are in mid-table with no specific league objectives to play for. However, the team from the Principality aims to end their season on a high note with a victory, seeking to surpass their current professional football record of 59 points. Andorra's technical staff is led by Carles Manso, under the broader direction of Gerard Piquรฉ and Jaume Noguรฉs.
Andorra faces several absences, including midfielders Thรฉo Le Normand and Jastin Garcรญa, defender Edgar Gonzรกlez due to injury, and goalkeeper รron Yaakobishvili ('Yaako') who is on international duty with Hungary. Additionally, รlex Petxarromรกn ('Petxa') is suspended. On a positive note, defender Diego Alende returns, though striker Marc Cardona and goalkeeper Nico Ratti are doubtful due to minor issues. The starting lineups are expected to be: Burgos (Cantero; Lizancos, Sergio Gonzรกlez, Grego Sierra, Florian Miguel; David Gonzรกlez, Atienza, Morante, รรฑigo Cรณrdoba; Curro, Fer Niรฑo) and Andorra (Owono; Carrique, Diego Alende, Gael Alonso, Martรญ Vilร ; Marc Domรจnech, Efe Akman, Dani Villahermosa; Josep Cerdร , Min-su y 'Lauti' De Leรณn).
