Second-spot aspirants Barcelona are on the road against the already-relegated Almeria in Thursday's La Liga tie at the Power Horse Stadium.
The Blaugrana will aim to build on Monday's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad, while Almeria can only hope not to finish bottom of the table after suffering their 22nd loss of the season as La Union went down 3-2 at Real Betis last weekend.

Gavi and Frenkie de Jong remain sidelined with knee and ankle injuries, respectively, while Ronald Araujo is a doubt after missing the Sociedad win.
Despite returning to training following his recovery from a hamstring injury, it is unlikely to see Alejandro Balde in action against Almeria.
Ilkay Gundogan is suspended on account of a milestone booking last time out, so Fermin Lopez could deputise in midfield, with Robert Lewandowski continuing to battle for the Golden Boot.
