Barcelona will be looking to retain top position in the standings when they face Rayo Vallecano to Camp Nou in round 3. The Catalan giants made a huge statement with a 5-0 victory over Elche last time out and have now won all four of their latest home matches. Barcelona are averaging 2.50 goals per game at home across their last 10, while their 1.70 xG shows a consistently strong attacking output. Summer signing Anthony Gordon is pushing for a start, while Gavi is doubtful after picking up a knock. Pedri and Dani Olmo are both expected to feature from the start.
Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win of the campaign after a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla and a 1-1 draw with Alaves. The capital club have struggled defensively on their travels, conceding 1.71 goals per game across their last seven away matches while failing to keep a single clean sheet. Kumbulla and Luiz Felipe are expected to miss out through injury, making an already difficult trip even tougher. Los Vallecanos have not defeated Barcelona in Catalonia since April 2022.
Barcelona are a real force to be reckoned with at home and with the Catalant giants winning 17 of their last 23 meetings with Rayo, Home Win seems like a sure bet. Additionally, Barcelona Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total bets are worth considering (65% of the last 23 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This Primera Division match will be played on Monday 31 August 2026 at 20:30.
