Note that in recent times Barcelona has not beaten Rayo with a difference of two goals. The last time this result would have been in 2016, since then the teams have played six fixtures between them. Rayo started the season very decently, three wins in 4 meetings and a minimal defeat from Athletic in Bilbao. We believe that we should not underestimate the Bees, we will not be surprised if the Catalans eventually win, but we will be surprised if they win by more than one goal.
