The Real Sociedad and Villarreal race for La Liga qualification is one of the most exciting stories in Spanish football this season. With only one point separating them at the top of the table, both sides will be desperate to secure their place in Europe next year.
Real Sociedad have been in excellent form recently, winning four out of their last five games and keeping three clean sheets in that time. They sit just two points behind leaders Sevilla and have already secured a Europa League spot this season. However, they face a tough away trip to Elche on Saturday, which could make it difficult for them to maintain their momentum.
Villarreal, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to the season but have since turned things around. They have won six out of their last eight games and have climbed up to third position. They have also secured a Europa League spot this season, and they will be looking to keep their momentum going against Real Betis on Sunday.
Both teams will be looking to secure a win and gain some much-needed confidence heading into the final few weeks of the season. A win for either side would put them in a strong position to secure a place in Europe next year, and it promises to be an intriguing contest between these two highly competitive sides.
