One more weekend will bring fans closer to knowing the name of the winner in La Liga, and there will be crucial games taking place this week that could have a major effect on who comes out on top after all matches have been played.
As things stand, Real Madrid have managed to survive injury issues, complicated moments on and off the pitch, and even an unexpected difficulty to beat one of their major rivals. With this in mind, the club holds a seven-point lead over their nearest rivals, and this weekend's matches could see their lead extended with a timely international break that could help some of their injured stars to recover.
Meanwhile, the battle for the second place continues in full gear, with Girona edging Barcelona by only one point. Curiously, both teams will have to deal with away games this weekend, which leaves room for speculation in terms of who could come out on top of the other after their fixtures.
In terms of what those teams battling to avoid relegation will face, Cádiz have made things complicated for Celta, as they stand only two points behind them after their win against Atlético. Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca also need to start winning points, but either one of the first two teams mentioned here seem to be destined to join Granada and Almería in the Segunda División next season.
When it comes to the relegation zone, Cádiz were the only team out of the bottom three to claim points, but they far from the safe spots due to Celta's win last week. Meanwhile, Granada and Almería seem destined to leave La Liga next season, with Almería not being able to win a single match after 27 opportunities.
Let us guide you through the upcoming weekend in La Liga as we enter the final ten games of the season for each club.

Top games to watch
Osasuna vs Real Madrid - The league leaders make their way to Pamplona, where the home team will try to return to winning ways after their loss from last week. Osasuna have won two in a row at home, but none of those games were against a team that is fighting for the top spots, such as their rivals on Saturday. As for Los Merengues, Ancelotti's side is unbeaten for the past eleven games, although they have not been able to win in any of their last two matches on the road.

Getafe vs Girona - The current runners-up claimed a big win against Osasuna last week, which allowed them to keep the No. 2 spot all to themselves. Now, Michel's side will take on Getafe, a team that has dropped points in their last four matches, and who have not won any games in over a month. Los Azulones are far from closing in on European competition spots, but they sure have the firepower to make Girona suffer.

Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona - In what could be the most appealing game of the weekend, Atlético will host Barcelona following their rough game against Inter in the UEFA Champions League. On the other hand, Barcelona will also return to the domestic tournament after a UCL win, which will make it even more interesting between these clubs with high hopes for success. If Atlético still believe in their options to finish third in La Liga -or higher- then winning this game will be a must for Simeone's men. As for Barcelona, a win here could see them claiming the second place in the tournament all to themselves, but that will certainly be easier said than done.
