Barcelona are targeting an eighth undefeated outing when they host Rayo Vallecano in La Liga. The two sides clash on Sunday, Barca hoping to go seven points clear at the top while Rayo seeks a leap into the top half. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Barcelona responded to their mini slump, where they lost back-to-back matches, with a seven-game unbeaten run. They have posted six wins in that run. The most recent of them was a resounding 7-2 victory at home to Newcastle United in the Champions League.
While they are on this good run, Barca will still be concerned about their defensive performance. They have conceded five in the last three outings. That includes two in their last league game as they beat Sevilla 5-2.
Rayo hope to be the first to take at least a point off Barcelona in La Liga at home this season. The last time they faced a top-three side, Rayo emerged tops, beating Atletico Madrid 3-0.
They will target a repeat of those heroics, though this looks like a tougher affair. Los Franjirrojos are eyeing a lift too, having lost at home in their Conference League return leg against Samsunspor.
They were beaten 1-0, but having won 3-1 in the first leg, they advanced to the quarters. The visitors posted draws in their latest two league matches, and away from home, they’ve lost five of the last 10 in all competitions.
