The final countdown?
The race to the 2016/17 La Liga title.
The top three teams in La Liga will have two things in common in Round 25 of the 2016/17 La Liga season; Home advantage and not being able to afford a defeat.
Atletico Madrid; a pre-season contender has been replaced by Sevilla.
Barcelona – Sporting Gijon
Barcelona needs a victory to put the pressure on Real Madrid and keep the title race tight. Sporting Gijon could see themselves temporarily out of the relegation zone with a surprise victory at the Nou Camp.
Real Madrid – Las Palmas
It is difficult to see Real Madrid stumbling in front of their home crowd, and they can’t afford to do so.
Real Madrid has a game in hand, but that advantage could be lost with a defeat and severely damaged with the dropping of points in this fixture.
Sevilla – Athletic Club
Sevilla is just three points away from the top. The hope is that both Real Madrid and Barcelona suffer a shocking defeat at home, while Seville finds a way to defeat a tricky Athletic Club side.
