Against all odds, Real Madrid managed not only to hold on to their lead atop of La Liga, but they eventually added one more point to that lead, following Barcelona's shocking loss against Málaga.
This week, both teams will try to keep surprises to a minimum, especially considering their mid-week games in the UEFA Champions League. In a do-or-die weekend for Los Blaugranas, Luis Enrique's men need to step up and deliver a good performance, especially because a loss this weekend could see their chances of winning La Liga slip away, just like their UCL season is in jeopardy.
Real Madrid, who's coach could decide to grant some rest to his players, faces a tough Sporting Gijón side battling to avoid relegation. Los Blancos seem to be cruising in what seemed to be a tough month for Zidane's men, but any slip ups could complicate their run for their first league title in 5 years.

On the other hand, Barcelona will try to keep things as they are when they host Real Sociedad. The Txuri-urdin usually complicate things for Los Blaugranas, and this game will be no exception, especially if the Basque side wants to keep their European football options alive. Barcelona will have to deal with Neymar's absence, who faces a four-match ban after being sent off against Málaga.
