Celta Vigo will look to secure their first top-six finish since the 2015/16 season when they host Sevilla at Estadio Abanca Balaidos on Saturday.
Having finished sixth exactly 10 and 20 years ago, the hosts look to keep their once-a-decade cycle alive.
Sevilla, on the other hand, will be eyeing back-to-back away wins for the first time in eight months.

Celta Vigo's struggles continued with a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao last weekend. The hosts have now won only two of their last nine matches across all competitions.
Interestingly, while Celta have been the third-best travellers in La Liga this season, they have conversely been one of the league's worst home teams, winning only five of their 18 games at this stadium.
Claudio Giraldez's troops will secure sixth place and a UEFA Europa League berth with a positive result here. They could still finish sixth with a defeat, but that would depend on the outcome of Getafe's clash with Osasuna.
The Sky Blues remain without long-term absentee midfielder Miguel Roman, who has not recovered from a broken metatarsal, and defender Carl Starfelt, who is still nursing a back injury.
On the other hand, Sevilla’s three-game winning streak ended with a 1-0 home defeat against Real Madrid.
While the Andalusian giants have now ensured their safety, they are four points behind eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano and cannot earn a European spot at the end of the season.
Moreover, Luis Garcia's troops have had a poor track record against Celta Vigo in recent years, having lost three of the last four encounters between these sides.
Long-term absentees Manu Bueno and Marcao are both ruled out of this trip, while Juanlu Sanchez is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Whispers Predicts: Celta Vigo 1-1 Sevilla
At 1.80, Celta Vigo are considered favourites by the bookmakers.
However, despite their dominance over Sevilla in recent H2Hs, the hosts have struggled to win games at this stadium this season.
Keeping in mind that two of Sevilla's last three trips to Estadio Abanca Balaidos ended 1-1, a similar result can be backed at 6.80.
We should also expect a feisty affair, as five or more cards were awarded in eight of the last 10 meetings between these sides.
