Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Estadio del Rayo Vallecano, Madrid
Barcelona have had a good start to their 2018/19 La Liga campaign loosing only one game so far. They will to continue playing good football. Barca are far ahead of arch rivals Real Madrid.
Barcelona at the moment are 1st on the points table after10 games with 21 points. An away trip to Rayo Vallecano shouldn’t bother them much as also after a thumping win over Real Madrid. But Barca should avoid complacency.
Barcelona have their next three games in La Liga against Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal.
On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano have had a poor start to their 2018/19 La Liga campaign with only a single win so far. They will look to improve upon the fact and make a bounce back.
Rayo Vallecano are at the moment in the relegation zone, in the bottom three with just 6 points after 10 games. Against Barca they know won’t be easy but they will give their all and hope for the best.
Barca have a great record against Rayo Vallecano and they will look to continue the good work.
