Try td:nth-last-child(2). This will select the 2nd child from the end.

console.log($("td").last().prev().text());

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td></tr>
</table>

use last and prev,

$("td").last().prev();

Use .eq() function to get second last from jQuery array

var count = $('td').length;
var secondLast = $('td').eq(count - 2);
