Only a few weeks ago, it looked like Barcelona couldn't return to the La Liga championship title. However, after a few bad rounds for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the team from Camp Nou closed the gap to only two points behind the league leader. Barcelona are on a fantastic run of 11 games without defeat (nine wins). Last weekend, Hansi Flick's team won 4-1 on the road against Sevilla. Barca spent more than half an hour with ten players but still secured an easy victory.
The 2024/25 season could be the most successful for Rayo Vallecano in the 21st century. The team that jiggled around the first and second level of Spanish football in most of the previous few decades is currently sixth on the table. Rayo Vallecano are playing surprisingly well, as they lost only one of the previous 12 games. In the last match, Inigo Perez's team won 1-0 at home against Valladolid. The home side finished the game without xG of 2.53, while the guests had only 0.42, so they probably deserved victory with a more significant margin.
Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano pick: Barcelona to win and cover AH -2 spread
In the first part of the season, Barcelona won 2-1 against their next opponent. Rayo Vallecano are playing well, but Barcelona is on another level at the moment, so we should expect them to win and cover AH -2 spread.
