Many eyes will be on Jeddah for the Spanish Supercup final featuring Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao. However, the other 16 La Liga sides are also in action this weekend. Villarreal, currently 11 points behind Barcelona, has a chance to narrow the gap with a home game against Deportivo Alaves.
Alaves, facing relegation zone threats, has struggled due to scoring issues. Real Sociedad, under new coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, plays Getafe, who have been struggling despite recent improvements. Getafe, dealing with multiple absences, aims to improve their performance against a Betis side that needs a reaction after a heavy defeat by Real Madrid.
Girona, out of the relegation zone after a win last weekend, faces Osasuna, while Valencia seeks a win against Elche to climb out of the bottom three. Rayo Vallecano hosts Mallorca in a crucial match, and Levante looks to continue their form after a notable win against Sevilla. Sevilla, set to play Celta Vigo, faces pressure as coach Quique Sánchez Flores’ job is on the line if they don’t secure a win.
