One of the most dramatic fights at the end of each season is to stay in First and avoid relegation. For now, there are only seven teams saved mathematically (Atlético, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Real Sociedad, Betis and Villarreal). But, taking into account that salvation is achieved every season around 38-40 points, they would be virtually saved or almost: Granada, Celta, Athletic, Osasuna, Levante and Cádiz. The yellow ones would lack a point to reach 38, a sufficient mattress to be with some tranquility, but without being able to neglect themselves. Which leaves seven teams in the fight for not going down to Second.
With several pending direct confrontations in the last five days (six in the case of Valladolid, which has its match against Athletic pending), it makes the fight gets red hot as there is hardly any difference in points between the last seven in the standings. The draw of Valencia or the victory of Getafe gives them oxygen and they avoid getting into a big mess, getting a cushion of points to be able to commit one more setback without falling into the hole directly. Alavés and Elche, with 31 and 30 points respectively, are attentive to the postponed game of Valladolid (29), which can make him leave the eviction zone. Eibar, who are playing against Real Sociedad today, cannot get lost and earn more points, since it is the red lantern of the competition with 23 points and they see salvation from a greater distance every time.
