With two matchdays left in the 2025-26 La Liga season, Real Oviedo sit already relegated on 29 points while a cluster of clubs from 10th-placed Rayo Vallecano down to 19th-placed Levante remain separated by just five points, leaving the second and third relegation places wide open. Recent results have intensified the scramble, including Espanyol’s first league win since December that lifted them clear of the bottom four and Girona’s late draw that failed to create breathing room. Teams such as Alaves, Mallorca, Elche and Levante now face must-win home or away fixtures against mid-table opponents, with home/away form and goal difference likely deciding the final table positions. The unusually congested relegation zone means any dropped points in the remaining games could drag clubs with European pedigree like Sevilla or even Real Sociedad into the drop.
