Osasuna will look to pursue an outside chance of qualifying for Europe when they welcome Sevilla to El Sadar in La Liga on Thursday night.
While the hosts could sneak into the top eight, Sevilla remain in a complete mess after another dismal season, and relegation fears have not been put to bed just yet.
We say: Osasuna 1-1 Sevilla
Osasuna have been the draw specialists in La Liga this season, and even though they do enter the game on the back of two consecutive victories, they both came against out-of-form opponents scrapping at the bottom.
Sevilla are not too far away from that fight against relegation, but there are no immediate fears of them facing the drop, and after arresting their losing run at the weekend, they could take another point in this one.

Leganes and Girona lock horns in a relegation six-pointer at the Estadio Municipal Butarque in La Liga on Thursday night.
The hosts aided their survival push with a positive result at the weekend, closing the gap on Girona, who fell to yet another defeat on Monday.
We say: Leganes 1-1 Girona
After recording a whopping 81 points last season, Girona will do well to get even half of that tally this time around, with just 34 on the board, ahead of the final six games, and even though they could take something here, their remaining matches look very difficult.
Leganes on the other hand will face many of the clubs in and around the relegation battle, so will be in expectant mood of picking up some results, especially after a hard-fought draw at the weekend.

Atletico Madrid will look to bounce back from a surprise defeat against Las Palmas when they welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Metropolitano on Thursday.
Diego Simeone's are sitting in third place in the league standings, while the visitors will head into the game in third position.
We say: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Rayo Vallecano
Atletico may be experiencing a frustrating run of form, but they tend to save their best performances for home matches, and we believe they will do enough to edge out a Rayo side that have lost three of their previous four La Liga away games.

Real Betis will continue their quest to secure Champions League qualification when they welcome basement side Real Valladolid to the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Valladolid's inevitable relegation could be confirmed, with the visitors languishing at the foot of the league standings.
We say: Real Betis 3-1 Real Valladolid
Betis have won four of their previous five home league matches, and with their attacking players thriving with confidence, we think Los Verdiblancos will take advantage of the division's worst defence to claim a comfortable victory in Thursday's contest.
