Anyone knows why Barcelona has a packed schedule this early in the season? A game on 24th, a game on 27th and a game on 31st? Seems like too packed for start of the season, is there a logical reason for that? In any case, they should be good enough to beat any opponent they face at this level, they are not really that bad and they should realize it by now.
Where do you get information about Barcelona's match schedule?
I didn't find more than 2 games for Barcelona during the rest of August on their schedule, so I think you found the information about the schedule incorrectly.
Barcelona will only play against Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid for the rest of the month, one of which will be played in the next few minutes. You can look for it on the official website or the La Liga schedule on Google, Barcelona will only play against Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid for the rest of the month, one of which will be played in the next few minutes.

That doesn't straight up mean Barcelona will win, we have seen top division teams to lose to other division teams on cup games before, not unheard of, just that it means the gap is too huge and it would be humiliating if Barcelona doesn't just destroy them, which they should be able to do.
Kick off will start soon and Barcelona has a high chance of winning this match. Even though this is an away match for Barcelona, their performance in the last 2 matches can be the main factor why they are favorites. However, I am sure that Rayo Vallecano will always be a team that is difficult for Barcelona to beat.
