We predict Barcelona to win 3-0. Rayo Vallecano have endured mixed reactions lately, with two wins in their last five league matches, but because this game doesn’t have any impact on their standing, we think they are likely not to go in full force against the Catalans, who are gunning to finish in the top two spots.
There’s a chance that Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano will end with over 2.5 goals. Rayo are averaging 2.02 goals per game in 36 league matches, while Barca are averaging 3.25 goals per game in 36 league matches.
Barcelona are in decent form, having won seven of their last nine La Liga matches, including their back to back clean sheets wins over Real Sociedad and Almeria. They currently occupy the 2nd position with four points clear of Girona, which means a draw against Rayo will see them finish as the runners-up of the 2023-2024 La Liga season, assuming Girona beat Valencia away.
Rayo Vallecano are in decent form, with two wins and one draw in their last five league matches. They have successfully avoided relegation this season, which suggests they may overlook this game in order to avoid any long term injury issues.
