Real Sociedad will be aiming to further strengthen their grip on a top-four spot in the La Liga table when they welcome an in-form Girona to San Sebastian on Saturday afternoon.
The home side are currently fourth, seven points ahead of fifth-placed Villarreal, while Girona occupy seventh - a position that would see them qualify for the Europa Conference League playoff round.
We say: Real Sociedad 1-1 Girona
Real Sociedad are in pole position to finish fourth in the table, and they will be the favourites on home soil, but Girona's recent form cannot be ignored, and we have therefore had to settle on a low-scoring draw here.

Almeria will be looking to give their La Liga survival hopes a huge boost when they travel to an out-of-form Osasuna outfit on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors are currently 14th in the table, two points clear of the relegation zone, while Osasuna occupy 10th, with the Copa del Rey finalists currently on a run of three straight defeats in all competitions.
We say: Osasuna 1-1 Almeria
Almeria are in the better form entering this match, but it is difficult to back them on the road considering their struggles this term. Osasuna will be determined to return to winning ways, but we believe that the points will ultimately be shared in a low-scoring draw.

Villarreal will be looking to stay in contention for a top-four spot in the La Liga table when they host an out-of-form Athletic Bilbao outfit on Saturday evening.
The home side are currently fifth, seven points behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad, while Athletic occupy eighth, level on points with seventh-placed Girona in the race to secure European football for next term.
We say: Villarreal 2-1 Athletic Bilbao
This is a big match in Spain's top flight, as both teams have ambitions of securing European football for next season. Athletic are capable of pulling off a positive result, but their defensive absentees have led to us siding with Villarreal, who have won 10 of their 16 home league games this term.

Real Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they welcome relegation-threatened Getafe to Bernabeu on Saturday evening.
Los Blancos are currently third in the table, 14 points behind leaders Barcelona with five games left, while Getafe occupy 18th, level on points with 17th-placed Valencia.
We say: Real Madrid 2-1 Getafe
A full-strength Real Madrid would be the big favourites here, but there are expected to be wholesale changes, which certainly gives Getafe a bigger chance to pick up a positive result. It would not be a surprise to see the points shared, but Los Blancos should ultimately have enough quality to secure all three points.
