Villarreal v Real Sociedad

As it stands in La Liga, sixth-placed Real Sociedad are set for Europa League qualification this term, while Villarreal, who are seventh, are heading for the Europa Conference League.

But that could all change when the sides lock horns at El Madrigal this Sunday.

Villarreal are already ahead both in terms of the head-to-head and on goal difference, so they can leapfrog their opponents with three points.

The Yellow Submarine are fresh from a 5-1 thrashing of Rayo Vallecano last time out so should be in good spirits, while Real Sociedad have won one of their last four matches, losing to Barcelona and Levante during that run.

Milan v Atalanta

Milan cannot guarantee the Serie A title with victory over Atalanta but a win would put them in touching distance of a first Scudetto since 2011.

Only they or rivals Inter can now win the title and Milan are very much in the driving seat with a two-point lead with two games to go.

They are 1-2 to finish the job and win the title but some may swerve that price given their challenging finish to the season with the Atalanta contest followed by a trip to Sassuolo.

Atalanta are not the force they have been in recent seasons, though, having struggled to forge a push for European qualification with nine league defeats to their name and they are worth opposing against a Milan team with the incentive to throw everything they have at this match.

Bologna v Sassuolo

There has not been as much disparity between the seasons of Bologna and Sassuolo as some may have thought and their clash at the Renato Dall'Ara could be a close one.

Bologna suffered a setback in a 4-3 defeat to Venezia last time out but have looked good over the last month or so, beating Inter at home and taking points off Milan, Juventus and Roma.

As for Sassuolo, their last road trip ended in a 6-1 hammering at Napoli and they have lost three of their last four matches. For that reason, Bologna are worth chancing in the draw-no-bet market.
