Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction

Barcelona welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Spotify Camp Nou looking to continue their perfect start to the La Liga season. Hansi Flick’s side have won their opening two matches, beating Elche 5-0 and Athletic Bilbao 2-0, while they are yet to concede a league goal. Barcelona have also won their last 20 consecutive home league matches and have dominated recent meetings with Rayo at home. Rayo, meanwhile, have collected just one point from their opening two matches and arrive in Catalonia after a difficult start under new coach Benat San Jose.

Why We Like This Bet

Our Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano prediction is strongly backing the home side to claim another three points. Barcelona’s outstanding home record, attacking quality and defensive solidity make them clear favourites, while Rayo have struggled to find consistency at the start of the campaign. Raphinha and Fermin Lopez have already scored three goals each, highlighting the attacking threat available to Flick. With Barcelona chasing a 21st consecutive home league victory and Rayo facing a difficult trip, we expect the hosts to control the match and win comfortably.

Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Rayo Vallecano
