    Spanish league reaches finish with six teams in danger of relegation

    MADRID (AP) – Six teams are vying to avoid relegation to the second division as the Spanish league reaches its finish.

    Cadiz, Getafe and Valencia each have 41 points, Almeria and Celta have 40, and Valladolid have 39 heading into the final round of games.

    Valladolid are currently in 18th place, the last spot that will tumble along with already demoted Espanyol and Elche. But Valladolid have their fate in hands because they hosts 14th place Getafe on Sunday.

    A victory by the team owned by former Brazil great Ronaldo would be enough to secure salvation, but a draw could do the trick depending on other results. A draw by Getafe would be enough for the modest Madrid-based club to stay up. Cadiz, in 14th place, will play at Elche needing only a draw to ensure they survives.

    Valencia need a draw against Real Betis, who has already secured a Europa League berth.

    A draw would also suffice Almeria at Espanyol. Celta host champion Barcelona needing a victory.

    A draw would leave it depending on other results. Fortunately for Celta, Barcelona have nothing to play for.

    Nearer to the top of the standings, Osasuna and Athletic Bilbao are tied on points and both wanting to clinch the Conference League berth that goes with a seventh-place finish.

    Osasuna hosts Girona, while Bilbao will be at Real Madrid.
