I think that for you to get an answer, you will have to define what 'before-last record' means.

OP is talking about the second-last record.

I mean, that if there are N records in the table, so I need to get the record number N-1

You don't need linq for this

object = collection[collection.length-1]

I found the solution:
obj.OrderByDescending(s => s.Id).Take(2).Skip(1).FirstOrDefault();

This is HUGELY inefficient and unnecessary
