Tomorrow will decide the final outcome in the battle for survival or relegation for five teams, all of whom will be watching what their rivals do from afar. One goal can change everything.

As things stand, both Mallorca and Girona would be relegated to the Segunda División, but teams like Elche, Osasuna and Levante cannot switch off for even a second. 

These are the scenarios to keep in mind for each of the matches, starting with the team in the strongest position to stay in the top flight.

Betis VS Levante

Betis, already in the Champions League, have nothing at stake, while Levante, despite having everything in their favor, cannot afford to let their guard down. Levante will stay in the top flight if they:

  • Win or draw their match against Betis
  • Lose, as long as teams like Mallorca and Osasuna do not win their matches

Getafe VS Osasuna

Now we get to two teams who really do have something to play for. Getafe would guarantee a place in Europe if they beat Osasuna, and that could be a problem for the Navarrese side. Osasuna would stay up if they:

  • Win or draw their match against Getafe
  • Lose, provided Girona or Mallorca do not manage to win their matches

Girona VS Elche

This is the match where all eyes will be on the relegation battle and the fight for survival. The two teams are separated by two points, and Girona begin the matchday in the relegation zone.

First of all, Elche will stay in the top flight if they:

  • Win or draw away at Montilivi
  • Lose, if a certain set of results happens: Levante lose to Betis and Mallorca win their match.

As for Girona, Michel’s side would remain in the top flight if they:

  1. Beat Elche; no other result will do, as a draw or defeat would condemn them to the Segunda División
  2. Depend on other results: as well as winning, they need Mallorca not to win their match or to beat Elche on the tiebreakers.

Mallorca VS Oviedo

Without a doubt, Mallorca are the team with the toughest task when it comes to staying up. Oviedo no longer have anything to play for, as they were the first team relegated, but this is what Mallorca need to survive:

  • They must beat Oviedo, no ifs or buts; a draw or defeat would send them down to the Segunda División
  • Osasuna must lose to Getafe
  • Elche must lose to Girona
  • Levante must win or draw against Betis

There are plenty of permutations, and there are 90 minutes ahead to determine which three teams will remain in the top flight and which ones will go down.
