Spain II Division

 

Second Division – Segunda Division. Last 4 teams – relegated, the top 2 – directly promoted, and the next 2 teams (if legible for promotion) going to promotion/relegation play-off against the 16^th and the 17^th in the First Division. 20 teams played in the league.

Atletico Madrileno – Atletico Madird B – last with 19 points and relegated.

Recreativo (Huelva) - 19^th with 29 points and relegated.

Castilla CF – Real Madrid B - 18^th with 31 points and relegated.

Racing (Santander) - 17^th with 33 points and relegated.

SD Eibar - 16^th with 34 points.

Levante UD - 15^th with 36 points.

Elche CF - 14^th with 36 points.

UD Salamanca - 13^th with 36 points.

UE Figueras - 12^th with 36 points.

Sestao - 11^th with 36 points.

Xerez CD - 10^th with 38 points.

Real Murcia - 9^th with 38 points.

Palamos CF - 8^th with 40 points.

CE Sabadell FC - 7^th with 40 points.

UD Las Palmas - 6^th with 40 points.

RCD Espanol (Barcelona) - 5^th with 42 points. Qualified to promotion/relegation playoffs, thanks to ineligibility of Athletic Bilbao's B team for promotion. There they faced Malaga, won the first leg at home 1-0, lost the second away 0-1, but managed to prevail in the penalty shoot-out 6-5 and thus return to top flight.

Deportivo (La Coruna) - 4^th with 44 points and qualified to promotion/relegation play-offs. No luck there – Deportivo managed highly optimistic 0-0 draw away in the first leg, but lost at home 0-1 to Tenerife and had to stay in Second Division.

Bilbao Athletic – Athletic Bilbao B – ended 3^rd with 45 points, but as a second team of First Division club they were ineligible for promotion, which benefited greatly Espanol.

Real Betis finished 2^nd with 47 points. They missed first place by little, but it was not very important – Real Betis was promoted and that mattered most: return to First Division was the achieved aim.

Real Burgos won the championship with 50 points from 18 wins, 14 ties, 6 losses and 53-24 scoring record. Not really dominating the league, but still the best teams.

One more photo of the Second Division champions, happy to return to First Division.

So, the newly promoted were old top-league members all: Real Burgos, Real Betis, and Espanol.
