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.
