It's going to be another exciting end to the season for Barcelona. They are in the Champions League quarter-finals and ten points clear at the top of La Liga. The league leaders are unbeaten in their last 16 league games and have won the last five and 13 of the last 15 as they dominate La Liga this season. Home form is pretty impressive too with six wins and a draw in their last seven league games. Overall, they have won ten of their 14 home league games and only failed to score at least twice in two of them.

Espanyol could yet get into the Europa League places but have a nine-point gap to make up. They are also nine points above the relegation zone but it's likely their season will just fizzle out. Only one of their last five league games have been won, that was a 3-1 home win over Raya Vallecano who are in the bottom three and on a long running set of defeats. The last two league games have only produced one point and on their travels they have a disappointing record. Espanyol have failed to win any of their last nine away league games and have only one win on their travels all season and that was at bottom-of-the-table Huesca. Go for Barcelona to win this game and be ahead at both half and full time.
