Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona preview
Rayo are the second top scorers in La Liga with only Real Madrid bettering their total of 17 strikes this season and Iraola’s team are an attacking and exciting outfit.
With talented wingers, a creative midfield and a born goal scorer in Falcao, Rayo will surely cause Barca some problems.
The visitors remain without Ronald Araujo, Pedri and Ousmane Dembele all of whom would almost certainly have started the game if fit, while Frenkie De Jong is also out meaning Barca look vulnerable.
Barca have kept just three clean sheets in their 12 competitive fixtures this term while Rayo have been rampant in front of goal and this should be an open game with goals and chances at both ends.
