MADRID - A rested and hungry Real Madrid will find a promoted Cordoba feeling confident for their match in the Spanish league on Saturday.Madrid has had no midweek match to expend energy on, and has a chance to stay ahead of second-place Barcelona, with a game in hand.But Cordoba wont be a pushover. It has risen from out of the drop zone to mid-table this month, with two of its three wins in the league.Elche, two places above the relegation zone, welcomes Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid hosts Rayo Vallecano in a capital city derby that will fill Vicente Calderon Stadium and keep police extra vigilant on Saturday.Here are some things to know about this weekends matches:___RESTED REAL: Getting knocked out of the Copa del Rey has meant Cristiano Ronaldo will be well rested for the visit to Andalucia.When Cordoba visited the Santiago Bernabeu in August for the first match of the season, Ronaldo was held at bay by the defence until the 90th minute. Then he unleashed a powerful right-footed shot from 25 yards that bounced just in front of goalkeeper Juan Carlos Martin Corral before ricocheting in off the post.Of his 36 goals this season, 28 have come in La Liga.The other goal in Madrids 2-0 win was by Karim Benzema.HISTORIC WELCOME: Spain was still under the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco the last time Cordoba welcomed Madrid.Hence, Saturday will be a historic occasion at Nuevo Arcangel Stadium, even though French-born Algeria forward Nabil Ghilas tried to play down the significance of the clash.Its a week like any other, we have to work and do everything we can to try and come away with something positive, Ghilas said.I expect Madrid will attack a lot, and we will strive to take advantage of counterattacks.Coached by Miroslav Dukic, Cordoba began this season disastrously with a run of 13 league games without a win, but a 1-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao in December turned its luck.BATTERED ELCHE: Barcelona has won five consecutive matches in all competitions, but its midweek 1-0 Copa quarterfinal win thanks to a late penalty against Atletico was laboured.Coach Luis Enrique hopes to steady the team, and an away win at Elche will remind everyone that Barcelona is still in contention for a treble.Saturdays match will be the third time the teams have met in a month, with Barcelona having battered Elche twice in the Copa for a 9-0 aggregate.BATTLE FOR FOURTH: Valencia can leapfrog Sevilla into fourth place after their Sunday matchup. A single point separates them at the halfway point of the league, although Sevilla has a game in hand.However, Sevilla came away bruised after a 3-1 defeat at Espanyol in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.

Rosberg had taken four straight poles and six of the last seven. Hamilton clocked 1 minute, 24.109 seconds at the Monza circuit, Rosberg was second in 1:24.383 and Valtteri Bottas of Williams qualified third in 1:24.697. Its Hamiltons fifth pole of the season and 36th of his career. He hasnt started first since the Spanish GP back in May. "Tomorrow will be really good to get another 1-2 for the team," Hamilton said. "And I hope we have some competition as that will be great for the fans." Rosberg enters Sundays race with a 29-point lead over Hamilton in the drivers standings -- the biggest it has been all season. A big part of that gap was built in the controversial Belgian GP two weeks ago, when Rosberg finished second after crashing into Hamilton early and sending his teammate out of the incident-packed race. Rosberg didnt seem interested in congratulating Hamilton on his pole position. Likewise, Hamilton appeared to do his best to ignore Rosberg after both drivers got out of their cars. After taking off his helmet, Hamilton flashed a victory sign to photographers while Rosberg appeared to frown behind him. Rosberg was disciplined by Mercedes for the incident at Spa and while no team orders were installed, the pair was told explicitly not to make contact again. When Hamilton was asked what effect the teams warning would have on him Sunday, he replied: "It wont be ringing in my ears. We are free to race. That was the decision last week so it continues as usual." Rosberg reportedly received a hefty fine for the Spa incident but hee, too, didnt appear ready to change tactics.dddddddddddd "It has not changed since before we started the season," Rosberg said. "The message has been clear. There is no real change at the moment. It is the same as always." Racing conditions were ideal, with sunny skies and a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit). More good weather was forecast for Sunday. Felipe Massa of Williams qualified fourth and Kevin Magnussen of McLaren was fifth. Home Ferrari favourite Fernando Alonso was only seventh, defending champion Sebastian Vettel was eighth and his Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who won the past two races, was ninth. "I was really at the limit today," Alonso said. "I had exactly the same lap time each lap so I think (if) I do it 100,000 times I would still get the same lap times. The important thing is to do a good race tomorrow." Mercedes dominance was clear on the sports fastest track, where speeds average about 250 kph (155 mph) and top speeds exceed 350 kph (around 220 mph). Hamilton missed an hour of practice on Friday due to electrical problems and Rosberg was slowed in Saturdays third and final practice with a gearbox glitch, making their performances all the more impressive. "Inside the garage theyve obviously been through the difficult times with me and theyve done a remarkable job in bouncing back," Hamilton said. "Its great to have a 1-2." Daniil Kvyat of Toro Rosso posted the 11th-best time but will start 21st on the grid due to a 10-place penalty for a sixth engine change -- becoming the first driver this season to be sanctioned by new power unit regulations. Ferraris Kimi Raikkonen went out in Q2 after abandoning a lap due to traffic. The 2007 F1 champion placed 12th but will start 11th due to Kvyats penalty.
