Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano score prediction
Barca stemmed the bleeding from their recent losing run with a crucial 1-0 success in the Basque Country in midweek, although Xavi is counting the cost of a bruising 90 minutes.
The Barça boss could be without his entire first choice backline for the visit of Rayo, which is hardly an ideal predicament as the Catalan club duke it out with Sevilla and Atletico Madrid for 2nd spot in La Liga.
Still, Rayo are in little danger of being sucked into the relegation battle with a seven-point buffer, which could play into Barcelona's hands.
