Atletico Madrid, now in fourth position, will host league-leading Barcelona. They begin this encounter 11 points behind their opponents but in the final Champions League qualification spot. In their first league game since the start of the La Liga season, Atletico Madrid moved into fourth place with a 2-0 victory over bottom-of-the-table Elche at home. Additionally, they have achieved success on the road in the Copa del Rey. The second one was an away victory against Real Oviedo, making it four straight league and cup victories. After a stretch of five games without a win in October and November, that represents a significant improvement. Prior to the victory over Elche, only one point had been obtained in three league contests.
