After the draw between Alaves and Villarreal, the 28th day of La Liga continues with four matches scheduled for Saturday, while between Sunday, with four more challenges set, and Monday, with the final postponement, the round will come to a close. It starts at 2 p.m. with Girona-Athletic Bilbao, at 4:15 p.m. it will be Atletico Madrid’s turn, engaged with Getafe, at 6:30 p.m. it is Valencia’s turn to visit Oviedo, while Real Madrid closes the program by hosting Elche.

The spotlight, of course, is on Real Madrid, fresh off a 3-0 thrashing of Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 with a sensational hat trick from Federico Valverde. The Blancos are looking for their second league win in a row to put pressure on top-seeded Barcelona, four points away. Elche, on the other hand, is hunting for salvation points, just one point ahead of the relegation zone.

Of Villarreal’s draw, Atletico Madrid can take advantage as they receive Getafe at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. The Colchoneros, who thrashed Igor Tudor’s Tottenham 5-2 in the Champions League, would climb to solo third place in the standings with a win, while the guests chase the feat to keep the Europa dream alive.
Probable lineups

Real Madrid (4-4-2): Courtois; Carvajal, Asencio, Huijsen, Fran Garcia; Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Arda Guler; Brahim Diaz, Vinicius. All. Arbeloa.

Elche (3-4-1-2): Dituro; Chust, Affenbruger, Petrot; Josan, Febas, Aguado, Valera; Neto; A.Silva, Rodriguez. All. Sarabia.
