Analysis and prediction for the match of the 3rd round of La Liga “Rayo Vallecano” – “Barcelona” (08/27/2024)
Barcelona, under the leadership of Hans-Dieter Flick, is doing well so far. Barcelona is one of two teams that have not yet dropped points in the Spanish Championship. In addition, the opponents were not shy. First they beat Valencia and recently Athletic Bilbao. In both cases the score was 2:1, but the advantage was always on the side of the Catalans.
It is significant that three of the four Catalan goals were scored by Robert Lewandowski. Working with a coach who already knows Bayern benefits both the entire team and the Polish striker personally. And if you thought that Flick was riding well-known veterans, you are wrong! Lamin Yamal scored a goal+assist in this segment.
Pau Kubarsi is also worth mentioning. The 17-year-old centre-back played very carefully against Athletic. If this continues, the blue-garnets will strengthen their lead. They will most likely have the advantage in the match against Rayo Vallecano. Moreover, despite the fact that it has been difficult to play against this rival lately.
It won’t be easy now, though. Rayo performed well in the first round of the Spanish league against Real Sociedad (2-1), taking advantage of their attacking possibilities. And in the second round they only managed to get a clean slate against Getafe (0-0). At the same time, there is information in the media about the signing of James Rodriguez, who will of course be a reinforcement. But even so, the team must be given credit for having had a good start.
It will be difficult for Barcelona in Madrid, too, because the match will be Rayo’s first home game of the season. However, Barcelona are still the favourites. The margin for error for Hansi Flick’s men is very small due to Real Madrid’s superiority. So they obviously won’t play dumb. In the next match we expect a hard-fought victory, exactly by one goal.
Tender: Barcelona win by one goal at 3.80.
