Match forecast
Barcelona cannot afford to drop points here especially now that they have a chance of surpassing Real Madrid at the top, albeit temporarily. Their rivals Las Palmas at the Bernabeu one hour after Barcelona steps on the pitch against Gijon.
The Catalan giants are the favourites both on paper and on the pitch. And now that the title race is heading to the wire, it is highly unlikely that Luis Enrique's men will drop points here, especially at home.
