Carlo Ancelotti's second and almost certainly final spell as Real Madrid head coach will come to an end on Saturday afternoon, when Los Blancos welcome Real Sociedad to Bernabeu in La Liga.
Real Madrid will finish as runners-up in the La Liga table this season, while an incredibly disappointing campaign for Real Sociedad has left them down in 11th, and the Basque outfit will not have any European football on offer in 2025-26.
We say: Real Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad
Real Madrid are again set to be missing a number of important players, but Real Sociedad are a very difficult side to back at the moment due to their struggles, and we are expecting Los Blancos to end their 2024-25 campaign with a victory.

Leganes vs. Valladolid (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Leganes will do their utmost to avoid joining Real Valladolid in the second tier when the two sides face off in Saturday's La Liga clash at Butarque.
The hosts enter the final matchday in 18th position and two points adrift from safety, while the relegated visitors are propping up the table after taking just 16 points from 37 matches.
We say: Leganes 2-1 Real Valladolid
While Leganes may be relying on a favour from Las Palmas, we think they will hold up their end of the bargain by seeing off a team that have lost 13 consecutive away games in the top flight, conceding at least two goals in 11 of those matches.

Espanyol vs. Las Palmas (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Espanyol will look to stave off relegation when they welcome Las Palmas to the RCDE Stadium for their crucial final game of the 2024-25 season.
The hosts head into Saturday's fixture with a two-point buffer to the drop zone, while the visitors have already been relegated and will finish the season in 19th spot.
We say: Espanyol 1-1 Las Palmas
There will be plenty of nerves in the Espanyol camp after losing each of their last five matches, and we think that may hamper their performance on Saturday, which is why we believe they may be held to a point by a Las Palmas side that have lost just one of their last five head-to-head meetings.

Alaves vs. Osasuna (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Osasuna will attempt to clinch a European place when they travel to Mendizorroza for Saturday's meeting with Alaves on matchday 38.
The visitors are sitting just outside the top eight, while the hosts are in 14th position after recently securing their safety.
We say: Alaves 1-2 Osasuna
Alaves may subconsciously take their foot off the pedal after they secured their safety last weekend, and with that in mind, we think Osasuna will do enough to claim maximum points, especially as they have won their previous six head-to-head away matches.
