This round of action begins on Friday night at the Estadi Montilivi, where Girona FC will take on Real Valladolid in what is Diego Cocca’s first game in charge of Los Blanquivioletas, who currently sit second-bottom of the table.

On Saturday, Getafe CF vs RCD Mallorca is the first of the day’s games, and the visitors come into this one in great form and sixth place on the table. For Jagoba Arrasate’s side, this will actually be their 19th game this league season and they’ll hope to complete their first half of the campaign by collecting another three points.

RC Celta host Real Sociedad on Saturday afternoon, and both teams will look to end the year on a high. La Real have improved as the season has gone on and have lost just one of their past six in LALIGA EA SPORTS, which has propelled them towards the European positions.

CA Osasuna and Athletic Club meet in the next of Saturday’s games, and this is always an intense match when these two northern rivals clash. Both sides picked up a red card when this fixture was played last season, a game which Athletic Club ultimately won 2-0.

On Saturday night, at 21:00 CET, there is a huge game in the title race as FC Barcelona host Atlético de Madrid. These clubs are currently tied on 38 points at the top of the table, although Barça has played one game more. Atleti come into this game with 11 wins in a row across all competitions, but they haven’t defeated Barça away from home since 2006, so it’s anyone’s guess as to how this encounter will turn out.

Five more fixtures follow on Sunday, starting with Valencia CF vs Deportivo Alavés. This is a huge game at Mestalla for the home team as Los Che looks to move off the bottom of the table and end the year in a more positive fashion.

At 16:15 CET on Sunday, Real Madrid returned to the Bernabéu for a clash with Sevilla FC. This isn’t only an important game in the title race, given that Los Blancos will have the chance to overtake one or both of FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid following that Saturday night blockbuster, but this will also be a special occasion because it’ll be the retiring Jesús Navas’ final match for Sevilla FC.

There are two games taking place simultaneously at 18:30 CET on Sunday, one of which is CD Leganés vs Villarreal CF. Following their momentous win away at FC Barcelona last weekend, now Lega will hope to win another game against one of the division’s top sides. The other game at that same time is UD Las Palmas vs RCD Espanyol, which represents a chance for Diego Martínez, the new coach of Los Amarillos, to take on one of his former clubs.

The final fixture of the matchday and of 2024 is Real Betis’ duel with Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio Benito Villamarín. These two teams have played out some entertaining duels in recent seasons, and it was Rayo Vallecano who won the last meeting in Vallecas 2-0 in March. Now, they’ll battle to see who takes the final three points of 2024.
