Barcelona’s Juvenil A faces Espanyol (Saturday 17:30h) in the penultimate league match. Regardless of the outcome in the final two games, Óscar López’s side will finish third. If Barça wins the derby and Mallorca beats Gavà, the Balearic team will be crowned league champions one match before the end.

Following their victory in the last round away to Mallorca (1-2), Barcelona’s Juvenil A seeks redemption by defeating Espanyol (Saturday 17:30h). Óscar López’s team sits third with 54 points, unable to climb the standings with two matches remaining. Espanyol, in second with 61 points, must win in Sant Joan Despí to control their fate in the title race. The white-and-blue side will face Mallorca in a potential final on the last matchday in Sant Adrià. Espanyol needs to win both matches to claim the title, while Mallorca only needs to defeat Gavà (Saturday 17:30h) and rely on Barcelona to win or draw against Espanyol.

Key Absences Óscar López will be without several key players for this match, including Marc Bernal, Marc Guiu, Dani Rodríguez, Alexis Olmedo, and Guille Fernández, who are traveling to Ponferrada to play for Barça Atlètic on Saturday (16h). In the first leg at Ciudad Deportiva Dani Jarque, Marc Guiu scored two goals, and Barcelona came close to victory, but Espanyol managed to equalize (2-2) in the final play of the match.
