Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano pulled out a 1-0 victory over Barcelona when they last met, their first-ever win over them. Rayo Vallecano will try to repeat that magic with their defensive style, getting outscored 38-33 through 32 matches. The defense is decent, but that offense is the fourth-worst in the 20-team Spanish La Liga. Rayo Vallecano is on a 1-8-2 run on the road in league play and heads to second-ranked Barcelona. Barcelona has the fifth-best defense (32 goals surrendered in 32 matches) coming off a 1-0 shutout of Real Sociedad. The offense will be without forward Ansu Fati (hamstring), but they've only allowed one goal in their last four home contests. Barcelona is still 13-1-0 all-time versus Rayo Vallecano allowing 0.7 goals, so back home field in a defensive duel. Play Barcelona + UNDER the total as a Max Play.
