Why Barcelona Are Favourites for the Match
A Barcelona win is available at 1.19 (around an 80% probability), the draw is 7.30, and a Rayo Vallecano win is 14.00. The arguments in favour of the Catalans are:
Perfect home form: Barcelona have won all of their last 10 home La Liga matches, while their unbeaten run at home has reached 20 consecutive games. A confident start to the season: Hansi Flick's side won both of their opening two matches by an aggregate score of 7:0 without conceding.
A poor start for the visitors: Rayo Vallecano have taken only one point from two matches and have won away just twice in their last 14 La Liga games.
Form and Line-up Barcelona
Barcelona have made a strong start to the season: after thrashing Elche 5:0 away, Hansi Flick's side beat Athletic Club 2:0 at home. Raphinha played as the centre-forward in both matches and has already scored three goals, the same number as Fermin Lopez.
Key numbers:
- Barcelona have scored at least two goals in 9 of their last 11 home La Liga matches.
- The Catalans scored first in 5 of their last 6 matches.
- Fewer than 4 yellow cards have been shown in 10 consecutive matches.
Probable Barcelona line-up (4-3-3): Joan Garcia — Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Xavi Espart — Fermin Lopez, Marc Bernal, Pedri — Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Anthony Gordon.
Absentees: Roony Bardghji, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi (all injured).
Form and Line-up Rayo Vallecano
Rayo Vallecano have not started the league particularly well — a 1:2 defeat to Sevilla and a 1:1 draw with Alaves. The Bees cannot be pleased with their away form either: just 19 away points out of 50 overall in last season's La Liga.
Key numbers:
- Rayo Vallecano have conceded in 8 consecutive matches.
- Over 2.5 goals has landed in 5 of their last 6 matches.
- Fewer than 10 corners were taken in 4 of their previous 5 matches.
Probable Rayo Vallecano line-up (4-1-4-1): Dani Cardenas — Andrei Ratiu, Florian Lejeune, Pelayo Fernandez, Jozhua Vertrouwd — Pathe Ciss — Jorge de Frutos, Randy Nteka, Unai Lopez, Fran Perez — Sergio Camello.
Absentees: Augusto Batalla, Isi Palazon, Luiz Felipe (all injured).
