Girona vs Villarreal Predictions

Girona	Draw	Villarreal
33.78%	26.01%	40.20%

Girona are still fighting hard for a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers next season, with the side currently sitting in seventh in the table with 48 points. Their tally means they are seven short of Real Betis in sixth, while they are a single point above Athletic Bilbao, Osasuna and Sevilla. Defeat here could see them slip a number of places down the table, so they need to extend a run of four without defeat which includes three wins and a draw.

The visiting side sit two places and nine points above their hosts, with Villarreal looking to take an unlikely spot in the Champions League next year. Of course, they would need to hope that Real Sociedad have a major meltdown in their final four games as they trail the fourth-placed side by five points. With a top-four finish likely too far ahead, Villarreal will want to ensure they secure a Europa League spot next year with a win here.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Predictions

Real Sociedad	Draw	Barcelona
56.74%	23.83%	19.43%

Barcelona arrive for this match as the newly crowned champions of Spain, with their 14-point lead over Real Madrid in second now too big to bridge. A 4-2 win over Espanyol in their last game made it three victories in a row, with Barca securing their 27th win of the campaign in fine style.

Real Sociedad come into this one five points clear of Villarreal in fifth and looking to tighten their grip on fourth-place in the league table. Defeat here could see Villarreal move to within two points of Sociedad, so losing is not really an option. Sociedad do boast a decent run of form right now, but if Barcelona really turn up in this one, they could get blown away.

Sevilla vs Real Betis Predictions

Sevilla	Draw	Real Betis
45.38%	27.54%	27.08%

Sevilla have been in impressive form in recent weeks, with the side going from potential relegation candidates to European hopefuls. Their 3-0 win over Valladolid at the weekend leads them in well to their crunch Europa League semi-final second-leg against Juventus in the week, with Sevilla hoping to contest another major European final. A win over their Italian opponents could give them that extra pep in their step, while defeat could be met by an insipid performance in this one.

Real Betis have fallen off in recent months, with the side slipping down to sixth in the league. A two game winning run has seen them move onto 55 points, but they are now seven short of Real Sociedad and the final Champions League spot. A win here would see Sevilla's European hopes dented, while it would boost Betis' hopes of securing an unlikely Champions League berth.
