Prediction

  • Barcelona heads to Madrid for their third league match under Hansi Flick against Rayo Vallecano. Although Flick has secured two wins, Rayo have been a difficult opponent for Barça in recent years, only managing one point in their last three visits to Vallecas.
  • Rayo have historically troubled Barcelona, especially under Andoni Iraola, gaining 10 points from their initial four encounters after promotion in 2021. While Barcelona ended their losing streak with a 3-0 victory at home in May, they anticipate a tough challenge in Madrid.
  • Despite financial constraints and registration issues, Barcelona relies on talents like Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal for goals. The team, featuring La Masia graduates, has shown promise, even though midfield depth remains a concern.
  • Rayo, under Iñigo Pérez, have started the season unexpectedly well with four points from trips to Real Sociedad and Getafe. Camello, a key player, aims to improve after a successful Olympic campaign. The club's prospects might further brighten with a potential signing of James Rodríguez, although he won't be available for this match.
