Rayo Vallecano vs. Barcelona Odds
Game Preview
The Bees have three points after two La Liga fixtures. They were better than Girona on the road, 1-3, but lost the next outing, which was in Bilbao, 1-0.
Overall, this is a good start, considering Rayo also secured a win in the Conference League qualifiers against Neman, also away from home, 0-1. Therefore, this will be the first meeting at home for the boys from Vallecano.
36 teams. One dream. 🏆

Barca was excellent in both of its matches in La Liga. After defeating Mallorca on the road, 1-3, they were better against Levante, also on the road, 2-3.
The latter match saw Hansi Flick’s unit being down two goals, before rising and fighting back in the second half. Once again, Blaugrana’s machinery showed its potential.
Rayo Vallecano vs. Barcelona Head to Head
Barcelona was better than Rayo on both occasions last year. The first was in Madrid, 1-2, and the second in Barca, 1-0.
Rayo Vallecano vs. Barcelona Predictions
We are all in on Barcelona. Why? They are excellent, and we are positive that Rayo won’t defend, but try to score because it’s their first game at home this season. Barca likes playing against teams like that, plus they are in great form, so everything points in favor of Blaugrana’s win.
