Two days before the end of the championship, the alirón has not yet been sung and the descent still lacks a couple of teams to be defined. A lot can still happen between now and Sunday, but it seems that everything begins to be intuited and the first cabal they begin to acquire higher percentages. However, the most even fight seems to be in the middle-high zone of the standings where a total of six teams are fighting to win a post in European posts.
Villarreal, Getafe, Real Sociedad, Athletic, Valencia and Granada They will fight for the three positions that grant the pass to the Europa League.

Access to European positions has never been so tight!
