Barcelona -1

Reason for tip

Barcelona have won 16 successive games against Rayo Vallecano, 12 of which were by at least a two goal margin, so this is a match-up that works well for them, while Rayo picked up just three away league victories last season

Barcelona 2-0

Reason for tip

Both meetings between the two sides last year finished 1-0 and Rayo do not tend to concede too many goals, so they will keep it tight but Barca usually find away, as displayed by winning 11 of their final 15 league fixtures last season, keeping six clean sheets in the process

Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

  • Barcelona finished last season with 11 wins in 15 league outings
  • Rayo Vallecano picked up just three away victories last season
  • Barca won have won the last 16 meetings between the two sides

Barca happy for the action to return

It is absolute chaos off the field at Barcelona at the moment, with players involved in contract disputes leaving the club unable to register new signings until those issues are sorted.

So can Xavi’s side put that to the back of their minds as the competitive action returns? Pre-season suggests so, with wins registered over Real Madrid (1-0), Inter Miami (6-0) and New York Red Bulls (2-0), among others.

Barca also have a staggeringly good head-to-head record with Rayo, who they have beaten 16 times in a row, a dozen of which were by at least a two goal margin.

Rayo Vallecano must improve on last season’s away form

Rayo Vallecano were truly dreadful on the road in 2021/22, managing only three victories and losing 12 times as they eventually finished in 12th place.

They have made a couple of summer signings, but neither are likely to feature greatly, particularly 40-year old goalkeeper Diego Lopez, so it is unclear if they have actually strengthened the squad.

Andoni Iraola’s side have had six pre-season friendlies and lost just one, but it was a heavy 3-0 defeat to Freiburg, and a similar result may be around the corner here.

I predict that Barcelona will win with a -1 handicap, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
