Vallecano (Tw)
Rayo Vallecano had a good performance in the first two rounds of the league this season, with 1 win and 1 draw, and 4 points put them in the 8th place of the league for the time being. Last season, Rayo Vallecano had 8 wins, 14 draws and 16 losses in 38 rounds of league matches, accumulating 38 points and finishing in 17th place, narrowly missing out on the relegation zone. In order to strengthen the team's offense, Vallecano brought in Jairo and Diaz in the offseason. Despite the poor performance in the preseason, the team made significant progress after the end of the break-in period, and showed good competitive status in the new season.
Barcelona had a great start to the season with two consecutive victories, defeating Valencia 2-1 on the road and beating Biba 2-1 at home, both home and away, which boosted the team's morale. Last season, Barcelona once occupied the top of the table, but was eventually reversed by Real Madrid, had no choice but to swallow the league runner-up, coupled with the lack of power in the European competition, Harvey took the blame and resigned. Frick took office, the team carried out a series of transformation, a number of youth training players to the first team, this initiative has achieved good results. Now the impact of this Barcelona youth army is prohibitive, becoming a force to be reckoned with in the league.
From the recent data of the two teams, in the last 10 times of confrontation, Barcelona with 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses to prevail. However, in the last 6 games, Vallecano achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, showing that Vallecano has a certain resistance to Barcelona, and is even labeled as "Barcelona's nemesis" by outsiders. However, considering the momentum of Barcelona this season, it is difficult for Vallecano to form a substantial threat to Barcelona.
The battle between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano is not only a battle of strength and form, but also a battle of team will and tactical layout.
