Rayo Vallecano take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 26th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid).
Rayo Vallecano are a strong mid-table team in La Liga, but nothing more. Lately, they have been losing to opponents with a higher status. In the last round, the "Bees" lost to Real Sociedad (1-2). Just before that, they lost to Atletico Madrid with the same scoreline. Yes, Rayo has not suffered many home defeats this season, but they have already lost four. Besides "Los Colchoneros", Andoni Iraola's team lost to Betis, Real Sociedad, and even Mallorca. I think they will also lose to Barcelona.

Barcelona are comfortably the best team in the Spanish championship this season. They also play better than anyone else away from home in La Liga, having won 12 out of 15 away games. In the last round, the Catalans finally scored, securing a victory in a crucial match against Atletico Madrid. Moreover, Javier's team won convincingly, scoring 2.33 expected goals (the opponent had only 1.37). I think this victory will give Barcelona additional strength, and even away from home, the future country champions, who are on a morale boost, will triumph over Rayo Vallecano.
I remember that bookmakers gave odds of 1.8 for Atletico Madrid's victory in their away match against Rayo Vallecano. They believe in Andoni Iraola's team, so what can we do) As a result, "Los Colchoneros" won without any trouble. I think that the La Liga leader should also take three points at the Campo de Vallecas stadium. Yes, the gap from Real Madrid is significant, but that does not mean that the future champions will be playing poorly in the remaining rounds, especially against the capital team. Moreover, Barca has not won against them in the last three meetings (one draw and two defeats). It's time to end this streak. Yes, the Catalans have been scoring very few goals lately, but considering how well they play in defense and how good Ter Stegen is, they may need only one goal to win.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win.
