From the fourth-placed Athletic Club to the 11th-placed Rayo Vallecano, each team is fighting for a spot in the top four or a European competition. Let's take a closer look at each team's chances.

Athletic Club is currently in fourth place with 60 points. They have been consistent throughout the season, but their focus has shifted from title contention to securing a top-four finish. A top-four spot would bring them back to the Champions League, and a Europa League win could also secure their spot in the top European competition.

Athletic Club's remaining fixtures include matches against Real Sociedad, Deportivo Alavés, Getafe CF, Valencia CF, and FC Barcelona.

Villarreal CF has taken over fifth place after defeating RCD Espanyol 1-0 last Sunday. Marcelino's team is led by Villarreal CF, who have a strong chance of qualifying for the Champions League. Their remaining fixtures include matches against CA Osasuna, Girona FC, CD Leganés, FC Barcelona, and Sevilla FC.

Real Betis currently occupies the fifth spot with 54 points. The team has been one of the top performers in LaLiga since the start of 2025, thanks to the return of Isco from injury and the winter signings of Antony and Cucho Hernández. Their remaining fixtures include matches against RCD Espanyol, CA Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano, Atlético de Madrid, and Valencia CF.

RC Celta is a team that was once in the relegation battle, but coach Claudio Giráldez has done an excellent job in turning their season around. They have the fifth-best home record in the division but need to improve their away form to secure a European spot. Their remaining fixtures include matches against Real Madrid, Sevilla FC, Real Sociedad, Rayo Vallecano, and Getafe CF.

CA Osasuna has achieved three consecutive wins, moving them up the table and making them a serious contender for a European spot. New coach Vicente Moreno has done an excellent job, and the team is led by striker Ante Budimir, the third-top scorer in the division. Their remaining fixtures include matches against Villarreal CF, Real Betis, Atlético de Madrid, RCD Espanyol, and Deportivo Alavés.

RCD Mallorca signed Jagoba Arrasate as their new coach last summer, with the hope of taking the team to the next level. Arrasate led CA Osasuna back into Europe after a long absence and hopes to do the same for RCD Mallorca, who haven't played on the continent since 2003/04. Their remaining fixtures include matches against Girona FC, Real Valladolid, Real Madrid, Getafe CF, and Rayo Vallecano.

Real Sociedad have qualified for Europe in the past five seasons but are at risk of missing out this time around. They have been inconsistent and have suffered 15 losses, the fourth-most in the division. They need a strong finish to the season to qualify for Europe again. Their remaining fixtures include matches against Athletic Club, Atlético de Madrid, RC Celta, Girona FC, and Real Madrid.

Rayo Vallecano fans have dreamed of European qualification, but the team has secured just one victory from the past 10 LaLiga matchdays and has scored only eight goals in that run. They'll need to score more goals if they're to move up the table. Their remaining fixtures include matches against Getafe CF, UD Las Palmas, Real Betis, RC Celta, and RCD Mallorca.
