Meanwhile, Sevilla will be aiming to continue with their fine run when they clash with visiting Villarreal at the Ramón Cisneros Palacios on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts will be hoping that their player of the moment Cristina Martín-Prieto Gutiérrez continues with her goal scoring form and lead them to victory with support from midfielder Gemma Gili, who has been scoring crucial goals off the bench, whilst the visitors will be banking on attacking midfielder Claudia Iglesias for goals after she scored three in her last five matches.

Real Sociedad have now gone on a five match unbeaten run and will be aiming to continue when they clash with struggling hosts Levante Las Planas at the Camp Municipal Les Planes on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts started the season well but results took a sudden turn and they started dropping points leading to a five match winless run in the league whilst the visitors are on a four match unbeaten run in the league with two wins and two draws in their last four matches.
The visitors have benefitted from the regaining of form of their two forwards Sanni Franssi and Synne Jensen, whose efforts will be complimented by midfielder and skipper Nerea Eizaguirre, whilst the hosts will be hoping that forward Urina Iribe and midfielder Cristina Baudet lead them to victory.
A win for the hosts will take them to 19 points, above their opponents, whilst a win for the visitors will take them to 21 points.

An inconsistent UDCA Tenerife will be looking to end their unpleasant run of results when they meet visiting Athletic Club at the Campo Municipal de Fútbol de Adeje on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts are aware of the threat posed by their opponents who have managed 10 points out of a possible 15 as they seek to collect maximum points in a bid to move up the standings.
The hosts will be banking on the trio of forwards Rinsola Babajide, Jassina Blom and Gift Monday for goals as they seek a better outing at home whilst the visitors will be hoping that forward Nahikari García and super substitute Jone Amezaga continue with their goal scoring form to lead the team to victory away from home.

Valencia have a chance to redeem their season when they meet tricky hosts SD Eibar at the Municipal de Ipurua on Sunday evening.
The hosts have managed to collect six points out of a possible 15 in the last five matches whilst the visitors only managed three points out of the same number of possible points.
The hosts will be banking on forwards Esperanza Pizarro and Andrea Alvarez to steer the team to victory whilst the visitors will be hoping that forwards Ivonne Chacón and Ana Marcos come to party and lead them to victory with the complimentary industry of midfielder Pauleta.
A win for Eibar will take them to 13 points and move them possibly seven points from the relegation zone whilst a win for Valencia will take them to 17 points.

A bottom-of-the-table clash looms as Granada CF clash against visiting Sporting Huelva at the Ciudad Deportiva del Granada CF on Sunday afternoon.
The hosts will be looking to make it two wins in a row to boost their survival chances after beating Betis 3-2 in their last league match whilst the visitors will be hoping for a redemption against an equally struggling side.
