Barcelona, Recent FormLast time out, Barcelona went away feeling content with a 2-0 away win against Almeria They came away from that fixture with 65% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Almeria managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
With 13 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Xavi Hernández will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 9 goals in the same period. They have scored in 34 of their 36 games this season, and of the 18 games they have played at home, they've notched up 10 clean sheets.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.
On an individual basis, Robert Lewandowski will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Barcelona's last 6 league games.
Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormRayo Vallecano will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Granada. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Granada who had 10 attempts and 1 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 4, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. Of the 18 games they have played away from home this season, they have failed to score on 11 occasions; however, they've managed to notch up 9 clean sheets.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Spotify Camp Nou, Barca have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Rayo have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Barca. Blaugrana have struggled to break down the Rayo defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Rayo have proven they're a capable side against Barca in the league and are unbeaten in their last 5 league encounters.
Barca have a number of long term injury problems with Alejandro Balde (Tendon), Frenkie de Jong (Ankle) and Pablo Gavi (Cruciate ligament) all being out for the rest of the season, but thankfully for their manager Xavi Hernández, the rest of the squad is free from any significant fitness issues going into this tie.
Despite Diego Méndez (Ligament) being out for the rest of the season Rayo manager Iñigo Pérez will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
