Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 13th August 2022
Barcelona start the season as favourites to land the La Liga crown. They launch their title bid this coming Saturday at home in an opening day fixture with Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou.
Barcelona bid welcome to Rayo Vallecano, who ended last season as number 12 in the La Liga. The hosts can look back on a season which saw them end up as number two.
Barcelona want to start off their new campaign with a bang in front of their own crowd. Rayo Vallecano, however, will be very eager to make this a non-event for the loyal home supporters. We should be in for a treat on Saturday.
Barcelona are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They claimed a steady 12 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.2 goals per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents nine goals, or an average of 0.9 goals a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.
Rayo Vallecano travel to their next La Liga match, averaging a lowly one goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of ten goals, while also conceding 16 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.6 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring three times.
Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction
Barcelona won three of their previous six matches at Camp Nou in the La Liga. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring six goals to six against.
Barcelona would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.
Rayo Vallecano lost their previous three matches by 1-5 against Villarreal, 2-1 against Mallorca and 2-4 against Levante. Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn two and lost two in their last six away in the La Liga.
Finishing somewhere in mid-table will probably be satisfactory for Rayo Vallecano, who aim to keep the relegation line at a distance in the La Liga.
Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano.
