Rayo Vallecano Double Chance
Barcelona begin the 2022/23 campaign against a backdrop of financial issues and chatter about levers, though there is a good chance that Barca won’t be able to register all of their new signings before Saturday’s game due to controversy off the pitch. That could open the door for Rayo Vallecano to spring a surprise in Catalonia. Rayo beat Los Cules both home and away last term, and they know how to carve out a result against their more illustrious foes. With that in mind, a stake on the visitors in the double chance market looks promising here.
Under 2.5 Goals
Andoni Iraola’s Rayo are expertly drilled from a tactical perspective and they were well-marshalled defensively when they kept clean sheets in each of their encounters with Barcelona last term. Both matches finished 1-0 in Vallecano’s favour and we anticipate a similar type of chess-like battle to develop when the teams meet again on Saturday. Barca could be without a number of threatening players due to registration issues and backing under 2.5 goals to hit the net again appeals at the prices on offer.
