Barcelona has shown remarkable consistency in the league, stringing together seven straight league victories. In that run they have conceded only seven goals and lost a single match. Interestingly, the lone defeat came in a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid, a result that partly explains why Real Madrid has been able to keep pace in the standings. Barcelona sit atop the table with a solid cushion, collecting 59 points from 66 available and holding an eight-point advantage over Real Madrid in second place.
Almería, struggling for legitimacy
Almería, managed by Rubi, have hit a rough patch with three straight losses and are hovering near the relegation zone. The newly promoted side has faced the difficulty of adapting to the top flight after spending several seasons in the second tier. Still, they will fight to pull clear of danger until the final whistle.
