Command Analysis

Rayo Vallecano

Current form

In the last round, https://www.rayovallecano.es/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rayo Vallecano kept a clean sheet against Getafe for the first time in the current championship and was unable to build on the success of the first round, in which they unexpectedly beat Real Sociedad (2:1). The capital team has not lost in the first round for the second season in a row, while in the third match they have lost three times, including a defeat in the third round last year by Atletico Madrid with an indecent score of 0:7. They also lost to their next opponent Barcelona with the same score at home in April 2012, but Iñigo Pérez's team has enough reasons to be optimistic before this confrontation - the "giants" have won two of their last three home matches.

Disqualifications and injuries

Out of the game are Ratiu (injury), de Tomas (injury) and Mendes (injury).

Interesting trends for betting

Rayo Vallecano have failed to score against the Catalans in three of their last five home matches

Today, this could be the main reason for the defeat, because in addition to a very powerful attacking line, Barcelona has a serious and experienced defense, capable of holding back the onslaught of serious opponents, not to mention the modest “giants”.

Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their first two league games for the third season in a row, but have lost the third match in both previous cases

Last year, in the third round, the “white-reds” were knocked out by their fellow countrymen from Atletico (0:7), which became the team’s biggest defeat in history.

Rayo have not lost at home in eight consecutive La Liga games

In addition, the team managed to win two of the last three matches.

Probable line-up : Cardenas - Lejeune, Ratiu, Mumin, Chevaria - Ciss, Lopez, Embarba, Trejo - Nteko.

Barcelona

Current form

Barcelona are heading out on a 2-1 win streak to start their La Liga campaign on a high note and extend their La Liga winning streak to six games in a row. New coach Hansi Flick is pleased with the perfect start to the campaign, but with tough games against Girona and Villarreal to come, a mistake here could prove dangerous for the manager’s long-term ambitions. Barcelona have scored exactly twice in their last five away league games, winning the last two 2-1. Three points are always the most important, but keeping a clean sheet has proven difficult.

Disqualifications and injuries

Gavi (knee injury), Araujo (knee injury), Fati (leg injury) and de Jong (ankle injury) will not be able to play in this match.

Interesting trends for betting

Barcelona have conceded in five of their last six away games

The Catalans have a chance to interrupt this "success", because the hosts do not look as strong as their previous opponents. Moreover, the capital team could not reach the Catalans' gates in three of the last five face-to-face duels

Fermin Lopez could score, having scored his last three league goals away from home.

However, he is earning a reputation for being a bit of a hot-tempered individual, having earned yellow cards in three of his last four matches for club or country.

Barcelona will concede at least one goal

The visitors are not in the best form yet and have conceded at least one goal in four of their last five away matches

Probable line-up : ter Steggen - Martin, Dminges, Balde, Kunde - Casado, Torres, Gundogan, Viktor - Lewandowski, Yamal.

Tip and bets

Tiphandicap (-1) to Barcelona

2.38

Today we expect Barcelona to have full control over the game, which is two heads stronger than the "giants" in all areas. The hosts will try to repeat their recent successes in face-to-face duels, but the capital club is unlikely to have a chance. We believe that the Catalan club will be able to pull themselves together and take important tournament points.

Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) for Barcelona and we bet on it with odds of 2.32

Will the prediction win?

TipBarcelona win by three goals

8.50

Bet on the outcome

Today the visitors are the traditional favorites, while Rayo Vallecano does not look very confident, even after the victory over Ral Sociedad. We believe that today the support of the stands and great motivation will allow the "blue garnets" not only to play decently, but also to achieve a positive result, and to do this with a score that is comfortable for themselves and their fans.

Prediction: Barcelona win by three goals at 8.50

Bet on a penalty

Most likely, the main events will take place away from the goal, which will ultimately bring maximum tension to the center. In addition, the class of the defensive players will allow them to play in their penalty area without fatal errors.

Betting Tip - penalty (no). This option can be found for 1.28
