I have zero doubt Barcelona will extend their winning streak and collect three points on Monday, but I like Rayo's chances of netting a consolation goal. Barca's high-press strategy does leave a lot of space for counter-attacks.

Barca Won 63% of H2H Against Rayo

This is going to be the 50th time these two teams lock horns and Barcelona have a 31-7 advantage in terms of victories.

Strong Start for Blaugrana

Barcelona looked unstoppable in their season-opening match against Elche, claiming a 5-0 victory on the road last weekend. Fermin and Raphinha netted two goals each, while one of the summer signings Karim Adeyemi also appeared on the scoresheet.

Blaugrana made it two in a row during the mid-week La Liga action, beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at home. Fermin and Raphinha found the net once again, while Adeyemi missed a huge chance to make this win more convincing.

Hansi Flick's side are the reigning Spanish champions, capturing their 29th La Liga title in style last season, while also winning the Spanish Super Cup.

Rayo Winless in the New Campaign

After making it to the Conference League final last season, Rayo Vallecano decided to part ways with head manager Inigo Perez and appointed Benat San Jose as his replacement.

So far, their results in the new La Liga campaign haven't been great, kicking things off with a 2-1 road loss to Sevilla where they had 1.89 xG and conceded in the 97th minute.

Things were looking better in the second round, holding a 1-0 lead against Deportivo Alaves at home for 84 minutes but had to settle for a 1-1 draw, Sergio Camello being their sole scorer.

Verdict

Barcelona v Rayo Vallecano

Rayo scored in both of their league games so far and have a decent chance of finding the net at Camp Nou but only as a consolation. Red-hot Barca are tipped to win with BTTS.
