Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa del Rey
by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions
Second division side Rayo Vallecano will step out for their biggest game this season when they play host to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey round of 16. Rayo saw off La Liga side, Elche 2-0 in the last round to set up this clash against Barca, who labored through a 2-0 win over Cornellà. However, Rayo are coming from a 3-1 home loss to Mallorca and will need a lot of improvement to be able to contain Barcelona. The hosts are on four wins in five matches and will know the challenge is going to be tougher against Barcelona. They have scored in each of the last five matches, four times netting two or more goals. Three of the last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have nine wins in their 12 home matches this season. It has however never been easy against Barcelona; Rayo have lost in each of the last 13 meetings.
Barcelona have scored two goals or more in each of the last 13 meetings with Rayo. They last lost to Rayo in 2002. Though it has not been a good season for Barcelona, by their standards, they still go to this game as strong favorites. The Catalans have four wins and a loss in the last five matches, and in this game, Lionel Messi is set to return after a two-match suspension. This tournament has already had its fair share of upsets, and Barcelona survived one in the last round. They needed two goals in extra time to see off Cornellà, after Miralem Pjanic and Ousmane Dembele missed penalties earlier on. Barcelona are coming from a 2-0 win over Elche in La Liga, the fourth time in five matches that they have managed to score two or more goals. They have four wins in the last six Copa del Rey matches.
