Barca needs to win this game because not managing to win against Plamas at home means they have a serious problem, just as Real failing to secure 3 points hosting Getafe, forget about the standings, a loss or a draw against weak teams is a sign you're also running empty in the tank well before the break, so 2 points loss would be an indicator of more worries to come.
Either way boring round, adding Atletico playing against Valladolid the last team in the league, safe to say there will be no changes as the top unless one hell of a surprise game.
