Real Sociedad and Villarreal Close the Gap in La Liga-Europa League Qualification Race, With Just One Point Separating Them

La Liga's top two teams Real Sociedad and Villarreal are currently separated by just one point at the top of the table with only one game left to play.

Real Sociedad, who have already secured their place in next season's Europa League, will be looking to secure another victory against Deportivo Alavés on Sunday. The Basque outfit has been in excellent form this season, having won their last six games in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Villarreal, who have also booked their spot in the Europa League, are currently sitting second in the league table behind Atletico Madrid. They have played four more matches than Real Sociedad but have lost just one game so far this season.

Both teams will be looking to make up for any missed opportunities as they face off on Sunday. A win for either team could see them close the gap on each other and potentially even take the lead depending on the result of the final matchday fixture between Atletico and Real Betis.

The race for the top two spots in La Liga is shaping up to be one of the most exciting ones this season, and it looks like both Real Sociedad and Villarreal have a good chance of securing a place in Europe's elite club competition next year. It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the remaining matches and which team will come out on top.
