With only four games to be played in La Liga, Barcelona will try to hold on to their top spot following their win against Real Madrid in last weekend's El Clásico.
For this weekend, both Spanish heavyweights have their games scheduled on Saturday. Real Madrid hosts Valencia at the Bernabeu, while Barcelona won't have to leave Catalunya, but will have to face one of their fiercest rivals when they visit Espanyol.
Zidane's men, still with a game in hand, depend on their own results to claim the crown. Keeping an unbeaten run in the final stretch is crucial, but beating Valencia will not be easy for them. Los Naranjeros are one of the few teams that walked away with a win against Real Madrid this season, will Los Blancos earn their payback and keep their title hopes alive?

Later that day, Barcelona visits RCDE Stadium to play against Espanyol, in one more edition of the Catalan Derby. Los Periquitos are still trying to earn themselves a spot in European competitions next season, and a win against Los Culés could motivate them to accomplish that goal. On the other side of the pitch, Luis Enrique's men can't afford to drop points, since Real Madrid could overtake them at the top and end up winning the title on May 21.
