The Spanish title race has a new chapter when Athletic Bilbao welcomes Real Madrid at the San Mamés stadium. The Basque club, a Spanish Cup finalist this season (and the previous also) can only aspire to finish 8th in the league and will face a Real Madrid side that is two points behind leader Atlético de Madrid and has only two rounds to try to overcome their rivals in the title bid.

Real Madrid depend on what Atlético will do until the end, with a two-point difference and three games to spare. But Granada, one of the best teams playing at home, are not in the mood to indulge Los Merengues.

The La Liga title is still up for grabs, with three rounds to go. League leader Atlético Madrid has a two-point advantage over title holder Real Madrid and fellow contender Barcelona and will host 5th-placed Real Sociedad.

Only Atlético de Madrid depends on itself to secure the title, and there is no margin for error for Real and Barça, who both have 75 points, two less than Atlético. The Catalans now visit Levante, where they have struggled in the past.

Now that their UEFA Champions League ambitions tumbled in London during the semis against Chelsea, Real Madrid will turn their attention exclusively to La Liga, where they have a solid chance of winning the competition.

Barcelona and Atlético Madrid will face off at Camp Nou in the most-anticipated game of the La Liga weekend,. The two sides are separated by two points, with Real Madrid in between.in a thrilling title race.

Real Sociedad host La Liga strugglers Elche fully knowing that a defeat will cost them their much-coveted 5th place in the table, as UEFA Europa League semi-finalists Villarreal and Real Betis are one and two points behind.

This is probably one of the most scrambled up seasons at the top of the La Liga table. Between the leader Atlético de Madrid and the fourth placed Sevilla there is only a six-point difference, and that is because the Andalusian outfit lost at home last week against Athletic Bilbao, or that gap would be only three points.

This will be a match between a title contender and a team that has no real ambition in this period of the La Liga season. Quietly, while giants Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona discuss amongst each other who will win the league, Sevilla is on the lookout, waiting like a predator to see if any of those rivals commits any mistakes.

This is the big question surrounding the next Real Madrid La Liga match. At home to an in-form Osasuna, the Spanish giants are always favourites, without exception. The Merengues are fighting to regain the title, while the Pamplona outfit lies in the middle of the table.
