Real Betis welcome Rangers to Andalucia in an enticing matchday six encounter in the Europa League on Thursday.
Both sides can still win the group and go directly through to the last 16, but the two are also in danger of elimination, with Sparta Prague waiting to pounce.
Betis lead the way, but they can still finish third, as they are just a point ahead of Rangers and two ahead of Sparta.
Their current advantage means Manuel Pellegrini's side only need a point to progress, and having now gone unbeaten in 14 European home games - winning nine - that looks a distinct possibility.
A draw will also see Betis win the group as long as Sparta do not beat Aris Limassol by three or more goals, as it will go down to goal difference with the sides level on head-to-head.
However, a defeat for the hosts will likely see them eliminated, unless Sparta fail to win in Cyprus, meaning they would then edge through in second, so they must ensure there are no more slip-ups on the continent here.
