Nine games left of the Spanish Segunda and Villarreal sit in third place after a 6-1 win against Numancia at El Madrigal.
Villarreal are one point behind second placed Almeria
Of the last remaining nine games- five of them are at home and Almeria go to El Madrigal on the last game of the season.
Automatic promotion is most definitely on.
9 Games Left

Wasn't counting on Almeria getting the win!
We're third now, but it's totally in our hands!

What's the h-2-h with Almeria?

Think we drew with them.
I view one table to see where we are and then view another and it's totally different.
I'd imagine we would be second, because the h-2-h was a draw.

That red card has destroyed our season unless we get a late goal now

It's incredibly tight and interesting.
Villarreal are second right now on GD because the h2h is equal, but no matter what happens next week, it won't be decided until the final day. Both Villarreal and Almería will have a chance.
That said, a win away to Barça B would put Villarreal in the best possible position. Regardless of whether Almeria or Villarreal drop points in the next round, a win in the final game would at least bring the team trailing level on points and would tip the h2h in its favour.
However, remember that Girona are still in with a shout too, and they play Almeria away next week! The ideal result there for Villarreal would be a draw, as no matter what, it would mean they'd go up beating Almeria on the final day.
BUT, should Villarreal lose to Barça B, they'd desperately want Almeria to win or at least draw against Girona. That way they'd still depend on themselves: Villarreal have the h2h over Girona, but the gap's only 1 point, so if Girona get 2 points more than Villarreal next week, they'll depend on themselves in their last game against Castilla.
Complicated, or not so much?

It is so tense
I worry more about Barca B than I do the Almeria game
Can't wait until next week
