Barcelona are back in action with another La Liga fixture this week when they travel to Estadio de Vallecas to lock horns with newly promoted Rayo Vallecano in an important clash on Wednesday, October 27. Ronald Koeman side’s struggles in the 2021-22 season continued this past weekend as they were handed a 2-1 defeat by arch-rivals Real Madrid in the first El Clasico of this season. The result has left the Catalans in the ninth position in the La Liga standings, six points shy of table toppers Real Sociedad.
On the other hand, the hosts have been fairly impressive this season and the club are a point and a place ahead of the Catalan giants. However, the Madrid-based club suffered a 3-2 defeat against Real Betis over the weekend and will want to bounce back in this crucial encounter.
Barcelona are the better team heading into this contest and they have an impressive victory against Rayo Vallecano. The Catalan giants have come up trumps in 15 out of 21 matches played between the two teams. However, Vallecano have picked up four consecutive wins at home in the league and they will want to continue that streak when Barcelona come visiting.
The match between Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona will kick off at 10:30 pm (IST).
