It’s the penultimate weekend in LaLiga and the stakes could not be higher for many clubs. Some of those could yet qualify for Europe or be relegated in an extraordinary finale, with just six points separating Real Sociedad in eighth from in-form Levante in 19th.
The Granotas host Mallorca in an enormous game at the bottom on Sunday. Nine games will kick off simultaneously, with Barcelona facing Real Betis in the one late match.
Here are our LaLiga predicted lineups for matchday 37. All kick-off times are based on the local time in Spain. Players in bold are those considered to have the highest chance of starting (80% or more).
