LaLiga enters its final day with plenty at stake at both ends of the table. Sevilla come into the game freshly crowned as the champions of the Europa League, but will be one of the few teams with little to play for as the race for qualification for the UEFA Conference League hots up and with six teams all at risk of falling into the final relegation position.
Just two points separate six teams all seeking to avoid ending Sunday night in 18th, with two of them playing each other in what is being labelled a relegation play-off between Real Valladolid and Getafe. There will be a mix of games, with some providing goals galore and others being cagey affairs as LaLiga heads into the end of the season with an average of 2.51 goals per game across the 370 matches played to date.
Sunday’s La Liga Final Day Boosts
Osasuna v Girona
⏰
Kick off: 17:30
📈
Odds: 1.57
Osasuna’s home game against Girona is essentially a Conference League play-off, as Osasuna currently occupy seventh place while Girona are ninth and just one point behind.
These are two teams of very contrasting styles, as Osasuna matches this season have produced just 2.05 goals on average, the lowest for any team in the division, whereas Girona games average 2.97 goals, the most in LaLiga. But, over the last eight games, as the race for Europe has been heating up, both sides have upped those numbers with Osasuna’s recent games averaging 2.63 goals and Girona’s averaging 3.00 goals.

Real Sociedad v Sevilla
⏰
Kick off: 17:30
📈
Odds: 1.65
Sevilla come into this weekend’s match with nothing to play for and with a major Europa League hangover. Having gone 120 minutes with Roma on Wednesday night, before celebrating throughout Thursday and Friday, Sevilla are unlikely to offer much resistance to an in-form Real Sociedad side. La Real captain Mikel Oyarzabal has stated that he wants this game to be “a party” in front of his home fans, and they should be able to score multiple goals.

Villarreal v Atlético Madrid
⏰
Kick off: 17:30
📈
Odds: 1.44
This game promises goals, in part due to the absence of Atlético Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, with his replacement Ivo Grbić keeping only one clean sheet in seven appearances in this stint. Over that same spell, Atleti have averaged three goals scored per game, while the same period has seen Villarreal averaging 3.7 goals per game in total as they have already secured qualification for the Europa League next season.

Espanyol v Almería
⏰
Kick off: 20:00
📈
Odds: 1.44
Already-relegated Espanyol went down fighting, with 4.8 goals per game in their last five matches, and they now welcome an Almería team who have conceded more goals than any other side outside the bottom three going into this final matchday. Almería’s inferior head-to-head record against Valladolid means that they need a win to be certain of safety and they’ll be pleased to know that for this decisive game, they travel to play Espanyol, who have conceded more home goals than any other LaLiga side this season, with 32 put past them so far.

Real Betis v Valencia
⏰
Kick off: 20:00
📈
Odds: 1.90
No side in the bottom half of LaLiga has conceded fewer away goals than Valencia this season, and they’ll need to extend that run to secure survival as they travel to Seville to take on Real Betis. The Verdiblancos have nothing left to play for, and have failed to score in two of their last three games, meaning that Ruben Barajá will be aiming to stop Betis from changing that form as they clash on Sunday night..

Celta Vigo v Barcelona
⏰
Kick off: 20:00
📈
Odds: 2.05
Celta Vigo know that they need to win to take care of their own safety without relying on results elsewhere, and they face a tough task against the recently-crowned champions. Barcelona will likely be featuring goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who has reportedly asked coach Xavi to start him in this fixture so that he can set a top-five European league record of 27 clean sheets in one season.
Barça have averaged only 1.7 goals scored per game since winning the title, with several attackers rested, but Celta Vigo will struggle to add to the 18 goals conceded by the champions in 37 games.

Elche v Cadiz
⏰
Kick off: 20:00
📈
Odds: 1.90
Cádiz’s route towards survival has been to shut teams down, and that’s why only two of their last 12 have come in at over 2.5 goals. Sergio will have his team looking to stick to that strategy as a point would be enough to secure their survival on Sunday. Already-relegated Elche are also keeping it tight, as they are now unbeaten in four after two 1-0 victories and two 1-1 draws have seen them scrape up some points before heading to Segunda.
