Second-placed Barcelona will travel to Campo de Futbol de Vallecas to lock horns with eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano on matchday three in La Liga. Here's our match prediction.
Rayo Vallecano comes into this match brimming with confidence. On Thursday, the home team thrashed the Belarusian club FC Neman Grodno 4-0 at home in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round. A 5-0 aggregate success saw them earn their spot in the league phase
Los Franjirrojos' focus now shifts to La Liga. Their recent outing saw them suffer a 1-0 away defeat against Athletic Bilbao. This comes after winning 3-1 against Girona in their league opener.
A return to Campo de Futbol de Vallecas sees them eyeing their first home win. However, that won't be easy to achieve, considering they are facing a tough opponent in Barcelona.
Barcelona have been dominant in this fixture and have won each of their last three matches. Their last away match saw them secure a 2-1 win.
Blaugrana's title defense has gotten off to a positive start. They have won their first two games so far, including a hard-fought 3-2 away win against Levante.
Last season, Hansi Flick's men suffered just two defeats in 19 away games. Notably, they finished with the best away record, and that's the same dominance they'll want to replicate in the current campaign.

Our Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Prediction
Rayo Vallecano failed to be a little more threatening in their last league game against Athletic Bilbao. However, that display won't be expected in this upcoming encounter. Rayo have been scoring goals for fun at home, particularly against Barcelona. They have been consistent scorers, finding the back of the net in each of their last seven matches.
After their disastrous showing in defense in their recent league outing against Levante, there's no doubt that Barcelona is going to concede, but their victory shouldn't be doubted. Our Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona prediction: both teams to score.
