Barcelona host minnows Rayo Vallecano at the Camp Nou in what looks to be a pretty one-sided fixture. Rayo have been struggling in the Spanish top flight as they sit in the relegation zone, just a point off the bottom.
Looking at the head-to-head stats, out of 35 matches played, Barcelona have won 23, with eight draws and just four wins for Rayo. Therefore, Barcelona have a historical advantage over their opponents but not taking this match seriously would be a big mistake.
So, without further ado, let’s look at the three things Barcelona need to do to beat Rayo Vallecano:

Rayo have a poor track record in terms of fouls, particularly away from home where they commit slightly more than 16 fouls per game.
