What if FC Barcelona were to pull off a major comeback and win their 28th national title, thereby securing a 2nd consecutive La Liga title? The Catalan club has the best record in the last 5 rounds, having earned 13 points out of 15 possible, putting themselves solidly back into contention in the title race, just 8 points behind the leaders. With the Real Madrid - Barcelona game scheduled for April 21, it’s going to be an exciting battle for the title up to the very end. Xavi's protégés have been rock solid in defending during their last 5 outings, allowing only a single goal! On the whole, the Catalan club has been on a roll lately, winning against Getafe (4-0), Mallorca (1-0), Napoli (3-1) in the Champions League and recently in the capital against Atlético Madrid (3-0). Poland international Robert Lewandowski (13 goals) was the power player against Los Colchoneros, contributing a goal and two assists on the way to the team’s victory. 

As for Las Palmas, they’ve been languishing lately and currently find themselves in 11th place, having lost to FC Barcelona on January 4th, by a score of 1-2. In general, Garcia Pimienta's squad has been on a downward spiral for the last month and a half, earning just 2 points from their last 5 games against Osasuna (1-1) and Getafe (3-3). The last two rounds have been particularly disappointing, with two successive home defeats to Athletic Bilbao (0-2) and bottom-placed Almeria (0-1) on March 17. Las Palmas became the first club this season to lose to the bottom ranked team.
