Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona

Rayo Vallecano have won three of their last six meetings with Barcelona in LaLiga (D2 L1), just one win fewer than in their other 36 top-flight meetings beforehand (W4 D8 L24).

Barcelona have not won any of their last three visits to Vallecas in LaLiga (D1 L2); only against Getafe (P4 D3 L1) are they on a longer ongoing run without an away win in the competition.

Barcelona average 2.8 goals per game against Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga (119 goals in 42 meetings); only against Levante (2.9, 95 in 32) do they have a higher goals-per-game ratio in the competition among all opponents with at least 20 meetings.

Barcelona have lost just one of the 37 games they have played on Tuesday in LaLiga (W25 D11), with that defeat coming in May 2023 (1-3 to Real Valladolid). 

Rayo Vallecano have not lost either of their two games in LaLiga 2024/25 (W1 D1), making this the first time in the entire history of the competition that they have gone three consecutive seasons without losing their opening two games (W1 D1 in 2022/23 and W2 in 2023/24).
