The stakes are high during this 33rd day at San Mamés in the Basque Country… Indeed, Athletic Bilbao has the possibility of stealing 6th place from Betis Sevilla in the event of a victory on May 4. The Basque club is only 2 points behind the Sevillian club. Athletic Bilbao brought back a good point from Mallorca (1-1) thanks to the equalizer in added time from Williams on penalty (90th + 6) during the last day. A point that could count in the final count. At home, Bilbao remains on 1 great success in front of Real Sociedad (2-0) but also on 1 defeat in front of Sevilla FC (0-1) this April 27 on a successful penalty from Ocampos (90th + 2). Betis Sevilla has been in free fall for a few weeks and the Andalusian club only took 1 point against Real Sociedad (0-0) in the last 3 days after 2 losses to Osasuna (3-2) and Barcelona (4-0) this April 29. The band in Fekir still suffered 4 defeats in the last 6 days of La Liga, obtaining only 4 points out of the 18 distributed. A new disappointment in Basque land would take Betis out of a European place.
