It's looking good for Barcelona at the top of La Liga with a seven-point lead over Atletico Madrid. They are unbeaten in their last 14 league games winning the last three. The last two of those were important as they went away to Sevila and Real Madrid and came home with six points. At home, Barcelona have won five and drawn one of their last six league games and have only lost one of their 13 played at home this season in La Liga.
Rayo Vallecano are one from bottom in the table and two points from safety. December and January saw them win four out of five in La Liga but it's all gone wrong for them since. They come into this game having lost their last five league games and the newly promoted side look on their way back down again. Away from home, they have only won three away games and lost eight. Defeat number nine is on the way and Barcelona can win this game leading at both half and full time.
