Barcelona take on the visitors Rayo Vallecano in the round 1 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, August 13th at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
Barcelona last season tried to find a recipe for playing without Messi. Koeman did not cope with this task. After that, Xavi finally returned to the Camp Nou. But there was no instant and magical transformation. They didn't manage to win a single trophy. On the other hand, they managed not only to return to the quartet of the best, but also to finish 2nd. But now in Catalonia it is necessary to show that they are “more than a club”. And in the summer they changed the composition quite seriously, despite the financial limitations of transfer opportunities. They did not leave Luc De Jong and Adam Traore, who did not live up to expectations. They released Langle, Dani Alves, Mingesa, said goodbye to Coutinho. There are many interesting signatures. First of all, this, of course, is the signing of the Lewandowski. But after all, a new pair of centre-backs, Kunde and Christensen, was also formed, and they also acquired Rafinha and signed Kessie for free.

Rayo Vallecano were the main sensation of the 1st part of last season. The newcomer, who hardly made his way into the Laliga, met Christmas in the “league champion” quartet. But then the wards of Andoni Iraola slowed the pace as expected. Especially since there was a parallel struggle in the cup, where the team was knocked out only in the semi-finals by Real Betis. Gradually, the "bees" were blown away in La Liga. As a result, they were satisfied with 42 points. This was enough to finish the season in a comfortable 12th place. But there is doubt that now, in the new pace, the modest Madrid club will be able to add, remember how to win. Moreover, the project has no money for newcomers. However, the breeders were able to show themselves well in such conditions. The squad was replenished by Diego Lopez, Unai Lopez, Salvi Sanchez, Camello and Legien. So, in general, we can even say that the capital team even approached the new season stronger.
Last season, Rayo Vallecano managed to get the most out of Barcelona. In both matches, the "bees" won 1-0. Bookmakers are confident that Barcelona will finally win, and quite confidently. We recommend betting on the victory of the hosts with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -1.5 handicap.
