Rayo Vallecano’s search for a first win of the season takes them to Catalunya, where they face champions Barcelona. This will be a daunting task for the visitors, as their hosts are seeking a third straight win. Barcelona are the only ones yet to concede in the league, and in our prediction, we are backing this to stay so.
Barcelona’s charge for another league title has started well, and as usual they’ve been strong both in attack and defence. Their backline isn’t breached so far, while they scored seven.
In their most recent outing, Barca limited Athletic Bilbao to a 0.25 xG, as the Lions failed to create any big chance. They went on to win 2-0.
Rayo, coming off a 1-1 draw with Alaves, will want to rekindle their 2022 performance when they beat Barcelona 1-0 away from home.
That was one rare victory, though in general Rayo have managed three wins in their last 10 meetings with Barcelona, who managed four wins.
It is at home that Barcelona pins opponents mostly. Rayo have really struggled in their recent meetings at Camp Nou. In the latest four they went winless and lost the most recent three, all without scoring.
The visitors arrive for this game having lost 11 of their last 20 away league matches.

Our Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
Rayo Vallecano do not have a strong run on the road; last season they lost 10 of their 19 away league matches. They have already lost on their travels this season, and they are bound to lose a second as they visit Barcelona.
At Camp Nou, they haven’t just been losing lately; they haven’t been scoring much either. In their last four visits to Barcelona, Rayo failed to score, and they lost each of the last three. That, and Barca’s record in mind, means our prediction for Barcelona v Rayo Vallecano is for Barcelona to win to nil.
