It is incredibly tight at the bottom of the La Liga standings as we approach the final few games of the season, with just three points separating 13th and 18th. Alaves are the team in the relegation zone, but they have shown real attacking intent in recent weeks, and there is hope that they can escape the drop. Alaves have scored 13 goals in their last six games alone, but have only taken one win in that stretch - BTTS has landed in all of those games, which shows how open they have been. 

This is a massive six-pointer in the relegation battle against Mallorca, and Alaves will have to keep that front-footed approach. Mallorca have been less entertaining this season, averaging 2.7 goals per game, but BTTS has landed in five of their last six league games. There is plenty of pressure on both sides to deliver this weekend, and it should be another open contest.

With 66 goals conceded from their 30 Bundesliga matches this season, Wolfsburg have the joint-worst defensive record in the division along with basement-dwellers Heidenheim. Because of that, they sit 17th in the league on track for relegation, but their recent win against Union Berlin has given them a glimmer of hope they can pull off an unlikely comeback. Wolfsburg have shown a bit of fight in recent weeks, with six goals scored in their last three matches, but they have let themselves down defensively. 

Monchengladbach haven’t been great going forward, with just 36 goals scored this season in the league, but they will fancy their chances of causing problems for Wolfsburg in the final third. Their main task will be keeping the hosts at bay, which Gladbach have struggled to do this season. In fact, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four league games, with seven goals conceded in that time. 

Hamburg currently have a five point lead on St Pauli and the bottom three, so they have a bit of a cushion with just four league matches remaining. Hamburg need one more positive result to alleviate any relegation concerns, but they have failed to win any of their last five matches, which has put them under pressure. BTTS has landed in eight of their last 10 league games, and that hit-rate looks set to improve against Hoffenheim this weekend. 

The visitors are battling at the other end of the standings, but they also haven’t been in the best of form. They have only won one of their last five matches, with 11 goals conceded in that stretch. Hoffenheim did, however, dismantle Hamburg in the reverse fixture, and it finished 4-1 at the PreZero Arena. BTTS landed in that game, and both sides have pressure to perform this weekend, which makes it a target once again.

After a poor start to the season, FC Twente have slowly been building momentum, and they come into this clash as one of the in-form sides in the Dutch Eredivisie. They have only lost once in their last 20 league matches, which has lifted them up to fourth in the standings - they are now just two points behind Feyenoord in second. Twente have only conceded 32 goals from 30 league matches this season, which is the best defensive record in the division, but they have let their high standards slip slightly in recent weeks, and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five straight matches. 

NEC Nijmegen will hope to exploit that, given that they have scored 72 goals from 30 league matches this season - only PSV have been more effective going forward. They are one point above Twente, and this looks like an even matchup on paper.
