Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano La Liga Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Barcelona are on an incredible 20-game winning streak in home La Liga games and the reigning champions are tipped for another victory and clean sheet when they host Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, with Raphinha scoring for a third straight game and Lamine Yamal picking up from where he left off after a seven-shot performance last week.
Pretty much flawless start to the season for Barcelona - they've won their opening two games by a combined 7-0 score, with Raphinha and Fermin Lopez scoring three goals apiece, while Yamal got back to some of his best form with a lively performance last week, where he really should have found the back of the net at least once with seven shots.
Having kept a clean sheet in their last four home games against Vallecano, another shut-out victory for Hansi Flick's side is tipped for this one, while they can also win with room to spare at the Nou Camp.
Vallecano are on a run of just two wins from their last 14 away games in La Liga and they've failed to score in half of them, while they're yet to taste victory in their two outings this term.
So all signs point to another big Barcelona triumph, with Raphinha and Yamal leading the way in the final third.

Great start to the season for Barcelona, with the reigning champions crushing Elche 5-0 before last week's 2-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao, which easily could have been more.

Yamal had a game-high seven shots and nine touches in the opposition box as Barcelona finished with an xG of 4.23 and 70 per cent of possession.
Barcelona Team News
Rodri came off the bench for his Barcelona debut last week and might be in line for a start here, with Gavi likely not to be risked for this one.
Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji both remain on the sidelines.
Barcelona Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Joan Garcia; Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Xavi Espart; Rodri, Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha; Anthony Gordon
Rayo Vallecano Form Analysis
Along with making the Conference League final, Vallecano finished last season in eighth spot on the ladder, but repeating that seems unlikely going on early form.
New coach Benat San Jose has yet to pick up a win, with Vallecano stumbling to a 2-1 opening loss against a Sevilla side who are tipped to struggle near the bottom of the ladder.
There's been some distractions over Vallecano's home ground and safety concerns, with the team forced to relocate for last week's clash with Alaves, which resulted in a 1-1 share of the spoils. Sergio Camello put Vallecano in front, but they couldn't hold on, conceding the equaliser with five minutes of normal time remaining.
Rayo Vallecano Team News
Goalkeeper Augusto Batalla suffered a broken leg last week, leaving Vallecano scrambling for a late addition before the transfer window closes. Dani Cardenas should get the call-up in the meantime.
Luiz Felipe is unavailable, while Pathe Ciss is trying to force a deadline day move and appears to have isolated himself from the squad. Isi Palazon is a chance to return after recovering from a muscle injury.
Rayo Vallecano Possible Starting XI (4-3-3): Dani Cardenas; Jozhua Vertrouwd, Pelayo Fernandez, Florian Lejeune, Andrei Ratiu; Unai Lopez, Pedro Diaz, Oscar Valentin; Kike Perez, Sergio Camello, Jorge De Frutos
