The match will definitely be fierce, Rayo Vallecano will not let Barcelona take home the 3 points easily. With all the situations that Xavi's squad is currently facing, I think in the end they can still bring home a win to maintain their distance and create consistency. The good news is that De Jong, who has been absent for a long time due to injury, will be played by Xavi from the first minute, although on the other hand, at this time Xavi has to lose his agile boy Gavi.

In essence, both clubs wanted to mark a good start after yesterday international break, but it was difficult for Rayo who immediately faced a team like Barcelona. It's true that they are lucky because they will act as hosts, but I think betting on Barcelona winning will be very safe and comfortable.

But indeed in the last 5 matches and 3 draws obtained against Sevilla, Madrid and Sociedad this clearly provides a positive thing even though in week 12 they lost.
With the current situation it could be that Barcelona also get troublesome problems because after all, with the condition of Barcelona who still have problems in the final settlement and by losing several players, they must be disturbed.
It's going to be interesting for sure because I'm expecting more from Rayo as I'm expecting Ba to lose

In this match I saw that there seemed to be a change in the line-up that Xavi would play, although the accuracy cannot be confirmed. However, it seems that De Jong and Pedri will be included in the starting eleven for the Barcelona squad against Rayo. What's unique is that sometimes Rayo likes to make things difficult for Barcelona. In this match, Xavi played Ferran Torres as a starter rather than Felix. Maybe, if Xavi wants to save his squad's energy, so does Gundohan. which means, Xavi's focus is on the Champions League match against Porto.

Talking about Rayo, in their last two matches they didn't win. Draw against Madrid, lose to Girona. Let's just see how this match goes, because sometimes Rayo makes things difficult for Barcelona. Referring to the betting options, Barcelona is still the favorite even when the match is away. Barca with @1.69, while the home team with @4.80. Barcelona should be able to win in this match. because no matter what, Barcelona must reduce the difference in points from the teams above them. They must achieve 3 points, even though they have to work hard to dismantle the home team's defense. The @1.69 option isn't that bad, especially since it's an away game. I hope Lewandowski and his colleagues are able to show their best performance.

Valencia had a better season this time and they maintained their performance intact to break into the top 10. Usually we are familiar with seeing Valencia always having difficulty at the bottom of the table, but this time they gave different results. Celta Vigo has experienced a very significant decline so far and they have to accept the fact that they are not as strong as last season. An exciting match for sure, especially since both teams both need points to survive in La Liga this season. But it doesn't look like there will be many goals scored and Valencia will probably only win narrowly against Celta Vigo. A score of 1-0 or 2-1 is usually synonymous with this kind of match.

Valencia is expected to win especially when they have the support of their fans near them. In the other hand, as you said, Celta Vigo is no longer a threat for the other teams, their stats are bad but if you look closer, you will notice that there isn't a big difference between the two teams in terms of goals forwarded, the difference is in the goals received so if Celta Vigo could fix this issue, they can collect a point at least.
In the other matches, Sevilla and Sociedad match looks quite competitive and of course we are waiting if Barcelona or Real Madrid will drop points in their away matches.

Current placed from Rayo Vallecano is not really bad settled on 10th standings position against Barcelona who on 3rd placed in La Liga standings, but in domestic league this season Rayo Vallecano not winning last three matches in a row and defeated by Girona before international break out. Have difference motivation against Barcelona exactly head to head Rayo dominance from Barcelona will make another thing for Vallecano get their first winning matches after failure more than last three matches before.

Barcelona have remaining four points behind Girona on the top position, actually they won't loss points again to make close keep on the top position for defending their La Liga tittle last season, in this match Barcelona have loss Gavi after ACL injury but potential will put Frankie de Jong in starting eleven after returning from injury.

Finally LaLiga is back and I can watch Valencia playing today and hopefully they will take 3 vital points and move to 7th place overall with just 1 place beneath European places. They will play against Celta Vigo , a team who forgot how it feels to win as they only have 1 victory in 13 games and this season looks kinda over for them as I don't think they can avoid relegation to LaLiga2.

Looking at h2h, Rayo is quite good when facing Barcelona, because from the last 5 matches they have played, the results are 1 win for Barcelona, 1 draw and 3 wins for Rayo.
But even like that, Barcelona is still Barcelona who will indeed be the favorite in this match. Rayo is likely to be troublesome especially with the loss of Gavi in the current Barcelona squad honestly this could hamper Barcelona's attacking power but I think their chances of being able to bring 3 points in this match will still be very large so regardless of previous statistics and h2h, I am not too hesitant with my bets now.

Challenge's with injury facing Real Madrid too much now, they have lost important players who have contributed to the goals scored in them last few games. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo who have scored when they faced Braga and also Valencia are all absent.
The news about Rodrygo came up immediately after the international break when Brazilian National Team lost to World Champions Argentina.
Cadiz have got to be one of the cluns in La Liga that does crazy defending especially whenever they're winning. They'll be very compact at first but gradually open if whoever they play gets to scoore them first. Playing this week would be difficult. Injured onnthe calf, he can't be forced to play.

Rayo Vallecano may not be playing well this season. The team has lost points in the last few matches as well. They managed to score only 18 points in 13 matches. However, Barcelona's record in away matches against this team is not good. Rayo Vallecano have won both of their last three home matches. Today's match is also Rayo Vallecano's home match. So it will be difficult for Barcelona to win this match.

However, Barcelona need three points in today's match. Barcelona are 4 points behind Girona and 2 points behind Madrid. If we don't win today's match, this point gap will increase. And with Girona and Madrid performing consistently well, it will be difficult for Barcelona to close the gap.

And shortly after, the defending La Liga champions are going to face Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas Stadium in Madrid. Barcelona is third in the league table with 30 points from 13 matches. Barcelona lost 2-1 at Rayo Vallecano last time out. Rayo Vallecano's points last saw them lose 2-1 to table-toppers Girona. They are in 10th position with 18 points with four wins and six draws. Barcelona will be without Gavi, Sergi Roberto, Marc-Andre, ter Stegen. Barcelona can afford to take points, but despite their form, it won't be easy at Rayo Vallecano. I think Barcelona can salvage 3 points with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.

Unable winning against rayo will be putting barcelona into the disaster. I don't even think barcelona would be losing against rayo. The only bad scenario if barcelona will be getting draw against rayo.
Rayo was quite strong and barcelona will be playing without one of its best winger at this moment. Missing gavi will be also impacting the performance from barcelona against rayo.

Xavi will obviously replace him probably with yamal as a right winger. It has become a very difficult choice for xavi to miss gavi due to the injury. The very bad decision being taken by spanish coach.
The spanish coach was only putting his ego without even care to his players. No doubt that if barcelona fans are starting to do protest toward him.

Spanish has been taking a wrong coach. Gavi needs to rethink again in playing for international break once he will able to fully recover from his injury.

That's just a statistic in history that only has a 5% precision, many other factors affect the outcome of the final game. So at the moment I still feel optimistic if Barcelona can win even though there are some injury problems.
It seems that Xavi wants 3 points to keep the points distance from Real Madrid and Girona. Although I admit Rayo can always make Barcelona difficult with a down defence by putting a lot of players.

Even though Rayo has home advantage, Barcelona is still the favorite team at the top so far, we know this match is very important for Barcelona to be able to move up the rankings, displacing Real Madrid in second place, but Real Madrid on Monday will have very easy match too because only against Cadiz.
If in this match Barcelona wins and moves up to second place, it is very likely that Real Madrid will also rise again with a win over Cadiz.
The competition looks very fierce and of course this is new season because Girona is here who is able to lead the standings whereas in the previous season they didn't seem to be playing well.

I feel this competition will be clearer and you can see who is the most dominant when it is almost the end of the season, because in the middle of the season all the top teams will still be trying to knock each other out in the fight for top of standings.
By the way, does anyone believe that Girona will be able to maintain its position and win the title this season?

Yes, that's right, Barcelona must target three points to continue to stick closely to the top of the standings. However, the record of the two meetings is clearly very unfavorable for the Blaugrana because in the last four meetings Xai's team had to be willing to swallow the bitter pill. So for this reason, Xavi must be able to decide on bad results by preparing the right strategy. But I'm sure Lewandowski and his friends are very ready for this match. Victory will belong to Barcelona!

Alaves' performance in the home match was very composed. Alaves players played very well. They have very few attacks. But each of their attacks was quite strong. On the other hand, I would not say that the opponent Granada played badly. Granada performed well enough. However, after conceding a goal due to a mistake by Granada's defender Torrente in just 11 minutes, Granada could not return to the truck. Had Granada not conceded this goal, the match would have been much more competitive.
Granada are now in 19th position in the points table after the defeat in this match. The team has very little chance of getting out of the relegation zone.

It seems difficult for Barcelona to win against Vallecano. Moreover, the match will be played at Vallecano home ground. Even in the last five meetings, Barcelona has never won against Vallecano. In the match against Vallecano, Barcelona lost many important players due to injury. Therefore, it will be a tough job for Xavi to achieve victory against Vallecano. This match was very meaningful for Xavi because it was not just about getting 3 points so that Barcelona could continue to compete for championships, but Xavi wanted to break the chain of never winning against Vallecano.

an interesting match but it makes us all confused about who will be the winner in this match while Rayo is actually not that strong but when they appear at home this team has much greater strength and especially Rayo defense which becomes more enthusiastic when competing at home. Barcelona actually has a pretty good performance but the problem is that several players will miss the match due to injury after playing for their country in the international break yesterday.

and according to the predictions that I have seen we should not take too big a risk choosing big odds but there is a big risk because after the international break there are unexpected surprises and my advice is that anyone would be better off choosing to bet on the total score because I am quite sure it won't more than 3 scores.

What I was worried about before fortunately didn't happen and Alaves won the match against Granda with a score of 3-1. I felt happy because I bet on the BTTS result with bigger odds and even though I was worried that Granada wouldn't be able to score, they finally did it in the final minutes of the match. From the start Alaves appeared to be very attacking and this was proven by the 3 goal lead they scored and even though Granada could only shorten the score by one goal, that was still quite better than not scoring at all. This result makes Alaves move away from the bottom of the table again and Granada remains stuck in the relegation zone temporarily and I feel sorry because this is their promotion season in La Liga but they have to feel the decline.

Barcelona must win in today's match to stay in the title race. They have already fallen behind due to erratic performance. Now, if the performance does not continue, Barcelona will have to give up hope of winning the title this season. Because Barcelona and Real Madrid are not the only ones fighting for the title this season. Girona and Atletico Madrid are also chasing the title and the performances of these two teams are very consistent. So if Barcelona can't get 3 points against Rayo Vallecano today they will go further back in the title race either way Barcelona need to get 3 points today.
