Mallorca astonished Osasuna 4-0 midweek in the Copa del Rey to overturn a 2-0 aggregate deficit: with this win behind them, perhaps they can rediscover some Liga form against a Barcelona side that does not show its best form away from home.
The Islanders, however, are on a poor run themselves, having won just one match since the end of October. What's more, they've lost the last eight Liga meetings between these sides.
Barcelona, meanwhile, begin the weekend with the good news that Thierry Henry could yet make a comeback, although Lionel Messi is still out.
That 2-2 draw with Alcoyano midweek may prey on their minds to some extent, but the job was done - they're through to the next round of the Copa. Now, it's time to put the pressure on in the league - a win here will cut the deficit at the top to four points, if only temporarily.
