LaLiga‘s official match page lists Barcelona with five goals scored and none conceded in their opening league match in the current fixture data, while the latest results confirm the team’s second consecutive victory.
Rayo Vallecano arrive in a very different position. The Madrid side have one point from their first two matches, drawing 1-1 with Alaves after opening the campaign with a defeat.
Their early-season form leaves Benat San Jose’s team looking for a result that could immediately change the tone of their campaign, although the task is particularly demanding at Spotify Camp Nou. Rayo will also be without suspended defender Yuri, while goalkeeper Augusto Batalla is unavailable through injury.
