----------------------------------
Fifth-placed Villarreal, boasting La Liga's third-best attack with 51 goals, welcome fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao in a compelling encounter. Despite their offensive prowess, Villarreal's leaky defense has conceded 39 times. They enter this tie on the back of a morale-boosting win over Getafe, having previously suffered two defeats.

Athletic, aiming for their first top-four finish since 2014, sit six points ahead of Villarreal, having played a game more. While their recent league form has been slightly inconsistent, they possess a strong away record. Villarreal have struggled against Athletic recently, winless in their last three meetings.

With both sides possessing potent attacks and Villarreal particularly vulnerable defensively at home, an open and high-scoring affair is anticipated. Athletic's European commitments might also play a factor.

Prediction: Draw
