Both title challengers face tough clashes in Week 32, with Barca hosting fourth-placed Valencia, and Los Blancos facing Malaga at the Bernabeu.

Valencia have not lost in their last 10 La Liga matches and are now just one point behind third-placed Atletico Madrid.

Claudio Bravo, Barcelona

Valencia have conceded just two goals in their last seven La Liga outings, and they have the second-meanest defence this season, letting in just 23 goals in 31 matches, per ESPN FC.

When Los Che hosted Barca in the reverse fixture back in November, Sergio Busquets' late winner was the only goal of the game.

Even with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez, Luis Enrique's men are unlikely to carve out many chances in Saturday's match, which is a must-win if Barca are to stay ahead of Real in the race for the title.

With any margin of victory only likely to be very narrow, Barcelona will need to be tight in front of their own goal, and keeper Claudio Bravo will have to be at his very best.

The Chilean has been largely solid this season but was partially responsible as Barca let a two-goal lead slip last week to eventually draw 2-2 with Sevilla, per Spanish football writer Ben Hayward:

A similar error against Valencia and Barca could be staring at another two dropped points, maybe even a loss, as they will struggle to put many past such a strong defence.

With such small margins set to be decisive in the run-in, Bravo can ill afford an off day against Valencia.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid

Real Madrid seem to have turned a corner in April after slipping back in the title race with just one league win—and eight dropped points—in March.

They have had three convincing victories so far in La Liga this month—scoring 14 goals and conceding just once—and another one against Malaga on Saturday could well draw them back level with Barca at the top of the table.

It may be stating the blindingly obvious, but Cristiano Ronaldo's contribution has been phenomenal in the last three league games, as he has scored seven goals, per WhoScored.com.

The Portuguese can blow teams away by himself on such form, and Malaga may not be able to cope if he gets into full flow this weekend.

With Barca playing earlier in the day Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti's men will know whether they have the chance to make up ground, but really, only a win will be acceptable—no matter the other results.

In front of their own fans at the Bernabeu, it should be three points for Real, and Ronaldo will likely play a key part in dismantling Malaga.
