Rayo Vallecano can hurt Barcelona
Rayo Vallecano fared well against Barcelona in last season’s head-to-heads. They have also shown plenty of attacking impetus in their home games this season. As a result, our first Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona prediction is for both teams to score. We can back this on the GG market at odds of 1.71 with Bet9ja.
Vallecano have scored in their five home matches in the league since they were humbled by Atletico at the end of August. They beat Barcelona 2-1 at this ground last season and Xavi’s men have been conceding 1.33 goals per game on the road in this campaign.
Bet 1: GG (both teams to score) @ 1.71 Bet9ja
Catalan class to shine through
The second of our tips for this match is a combination of GG with a Barcelona win on the 1×2 market with Bet9ja. The stats suggest that Barcelona are capable enough to secure a win. Xavi’s team have won nine of their 13 league matches, maintaining an average of exactly two goals per game over that period. This goal rate is double that of their opponents, positioning them as the deserved favourite in this clash.
Although Rayo Vallecano have scored plenty in recent home matches, the results haven’t been satisfactory. They have won just one of their six league matches at home. Across those matches, their opponents managed to score 2.33 goals per game, but Vallecano managed just 1.33.
Bet 2: Barcelona to win & GG @ 3.20 Bet9ja
Vallecano should embrace the dark arts
Rayo Vallecano’s matches in La Liga have seen an average of 6.38 cards per game. That’s the 3rd most in the division and well above the league average of 5.49 cards awarded per game in the Spanish top flight.
This leads us to our next tip in the cards market. We can bet on over 5.5 total cards in the match at odds of 1.91 available on Bet9ja. That means we need six or more in the match for this bet to win.
Looking at the stats in recent matches with Barcelona, there is promise for card backers. The last five head-to-heads have averaged 6.6 cards. This is around the same mark as Barcelona’s away matches this season, which have seen 6.67 cards per game on average.
Bet 3: Over 5.5 cards in the match @ 1.91 Bet9ja
Barcelona pressure should lead to corners
The last of our tips for Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona is for the visitors to have at least three more corners than the home side. Xavi’s side had six more corners than Rayo Vallecano in this fixture last season. This bet is available at odds of 2.14 on Bet9ja using the corners handicap market.
Over the course of the last five league head-to-heads between these sides, Barcelona have averaged 8.6 corners per game and Vallecano just 2.2. This bet has landed in all five of those matches, making the odds on offer very appealing.
Additionally, in the last five matches where Rayo Vallecano have been similarly priced on the 1×2 market, they averaged five corners less per game than their opponents.
Bet 4: Barcelona -2 corners handicap (home +2) @ 2.14 Bet9ja
