Real Sociedad and Villarreal are currently only one point apart in the La Liga Europa League Qualification competition, which means that any slip-up could result in them both missing out on European football next season.

Both teams have been performing well this season, with Real Sociedad sitting second in the league table and Villarreal in third. However, they have both faced tough opponents and have struggled to maintain their form consistently.

Real Sociedad has won three of their last four matches, including victories over Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, while Villarreal has also had some impressive performances, most notably a 4-1 win against Atlético Madrid.

Despite their strong performances, both teams will need to be at their best if they want to secure their place in Europe's top club competitions. It is likely that there will be some intense battles between the two sides in the coming weeks, as they vie for the final spot in the Europa League.

Overall, it is clear that both Real Sociedad and Villarreal are serious contenders for the final spot in the Europa League, and it will be exciting to see how they fare in the remaining matches of the season.
