Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

• Five of Barcelona’s last seven home games in the Primera Liga have seen them win without conceding
• 21 of Barcelona’s 36 matches in the league this season have produced three or more goals
• The visitors have only scored 29 goals in 36 league games

Barca can end season on a high

Barcelona have failed to keep tabs on their rivals Real Madrid this season but look set for second spot in La Liga, four points ahead of Girona with two games to play.

It has been a disappointing campaign for Barca but they are looking to the future and are aiming to give their considerable youth contingent as much game time as possible as the season draws to a close.

Xavi’s side have won three of their last four games and will be looking to extend their recent run of wins with another against strugglers Rayo Vallecano.

The visitors picked up a big win last time out and while they are all but safe, they could theoretically be dragged into the drop zone.

Rayo Vallecano may struggle to lay a glove on their opponents

Goals have been a major issue this season for Vallecano, netting just 29 in 36 games. Only Cadiz have netted fewer than that.

Barcelona have also won to nil in five of their last seven home league games and could extend that run with another against these goal-shy opponents.

21 of Barcelona’s 36 matches in the league this season have gone over 2.5 goals so take a 3-0 win for Barca.
