We are heading towards the business end of the season. Out of the top-five leagues, two are home and dry. No life as far as title glory is concerned. For Juventus in Serie A and PSG in Ligue 1 are destined to be crowned as champions. Just biding their time, and waiting for that to happen.

While over in La Liga, Barcelona can wrap up the title in the next few weeks. They should do that. Anything other than them lifting their 8th trophy in the last 10 seasons would be like the sun setting in the East.

The Premier League and the Bundesliga, on the other hand, are expected to go down to the wire.

But the relegation battle and the chase for the European places are keeping almost all the leagues interesting, and La Liga is no anomaly in that regard.

Here in this match, Athletic Bilbao are after the top-six finish, while their opponents in the next match are fighting for their lives.

The Los Leones saw their three-game winning streak snapped up by the surprise package Getafe CF last weekend. It was a six-pointer, especially for Bilbao who are now seven points behind the Madrid club on the table.

With just seven games remaining and Getafe showing no sign of slowing down, the 7-point gap may be out of Bilbao’s grasp. But they can still sneak into the top-six as only three points separate them from Valencia in sixth.

Rayo Vallecano infused a little life into their ambitions after beating Valencia 2-0 last weekend.

But their away form is a cause for concern for manager Paco Jémez. Vallecano are coming into this match on the back of five consecutive away defeats.
