Nevertheless, Barcelona's performance can be said to have very positive results. I'm optimistic, Barcelona can beat Rayo easily.
Compared to Rayo Vallecano, see the list of players who strengthen both clubs, Barcelona is more superior based on experience. Considering this is Barcelona's opening match, they need points and Xavi will play a mainstay formation including Lewandowski et al.
Based on the odds, 80% of the win go to Barcelona. Apart from that barca should not underestimate Rayo Vallecano, because it could be an opportunity for Rayo to be more confident. In this match, Barcelona's consistency will be very influential in determining the outcome of next week's match.
After building a squad by bringing in some top class, Barcelona is more favored in the inaugural La Liga match this season. However, in terms of how the two teams met last season, Rayo Vallecano seemed to be the dark horse for Xavi squad.
In head to head Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano in two games last season, Barcelona always lost. At the first meeting last season Barcelona lost 1-0 to Rayo Vallecano in the first meeting, Meanwhile, in the second meeting, Rayo Vallecano also won with the same score.
Xavi must be able to give his team the first win to prove the maturity of the squad he has, on paper Barcelona can secure the three points easily, but anything can happen as long as the game is still going on.
