RC Celta de Vigo (5th, 31 pts):

- Celta failed to score in their last two league outings and now face the leaders who have the best defensive record in the division. Atletico have only conceded eight goals in 18 games.
Atlético Madrid (1st, 41 pts):
- Diego Simeone's men hit the top of the standings last weekend when they beat Levante 1-0 at the Calderon, making the most of FC Barcelona's draw at Espanyol.
