LIVE 17:15 » Barcelona – Real Oviedo
Likely teams:
Barcelona (4-2-3-1): J. Garcia; Kounde, Cubarsi, E. Garcia, Balde – De Jong, Olmo – Yamal, Lopez, Raphinha – Lewandowski
Coach: Hansi Flick
Real Oviedo (4-4-2): Escandell – Ahijado, Costas, Carmo, Alhassane – Hassan, Sibo, Colombatto, Chaira – Reina, Vinas

Barcelona are in pursuit of Real Madrid leader. The Catalans lost their leader status after losing the previous round to Real Sociedad, score 1-2.
The defeat was Barcelona's first in the league since the end of October, but they managed to bounce back in the Champions League during the week, boosting their chances of finishing in the top eight after a 4-2 win over Slavia Prague.
Barcelona recorded a 3-1 win against Real Oviedo when the two met in the reverse fixture earlier this season, but their last meeting at Camp Nou in May 2001 ended in a 1-0 success for Real Oviedo. It cannot be ignored that it has been a testing campaign for Real Oviedo, and that has probably always been the case in their first season at this level since 2000-01.
