The minute Xavi arrived last season, Barcelona’s whole technical and tactical structure changed and got more advanced despite lacking some of the player options. This season, Barcelona made 6 transfers and all will be very effective and useful. Xavi’s offensive options are more than wide now, getting Champions league’s 4th all-time scorer Lewandowski to the club in addition to Rafinha and Kessie and also with his local tools, Barcelona are expected to fight in all the competitions and should be considered as favourites to win all. Starting this weekend, Barcelona’s La Liga competition will start with a win against Rayo.

On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano’s every season’s first objective is to stay away from the relegation zone as they have been doing for years. Vallecano plays without any pressure in the league. Vallecano only lost one game in their preseason friendlies out of 6 and they are ready to start their La Liga season aiming to finish mid-table.
Barcelona’s offensive average will be very high this season as we expect them to score at least 2 goals with a safe odds of 1.25 from 22Bet.
Ex-Bayern Munchen superstar and Barcelona’s new way of hope, Robert Lewandowski, is expected to score many goals this season and he will start his job on Saturday against Rayo.
