Despite a somewhat tumultuous start to the campaign, Real Madrid sits second in the La Liga table, trailing arch-rival Barcelona by just six points and with a game in hand. That means continued positive results will be necessary for Real Madrid to keep the pressure on La Blaugrana as the La Liga campaign continues to roll forward this weekend.

FC Barcelona are currently leading the La Liga table, holding a four-point margin on Real Madrid (who have also one game in hand), but also drew one and lost another match in the last two games played in their domestic competition.
