FC Barcelona is gearing up for an exciting match against Rayo Vallecano at the Estadi Olímpic on Monday. After a strong 4-1 win over Sevilla FC, Barcelona is on a roll, aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to 12 games.
This year has been fantastic for Barça. So far in 2025, they haven’t lost a single match. They’ve racked up nine wins and two draws in various competitions, including LALIGA EA SPORTS, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, and the Supercopa de España. In their last 11 games, they’ve scored 41 goals, averaging an impressive 3.7 goals per game. Their recent victory against Sevilla brought them within two points of league leaders Real Madrid.
Barcelona boasts the best attack in LALIGA with 64 goals in just 23 games. Robert Lewandowski, leading the hunt for the Pichichi Award, has scored 19 goals and is the league’s top scorer. The team is well-positioned in the title race, but they face a tough challenge from Rayo Vallecano.
Historically, Barça has done well against Rayo, winning 16 of their last 20 home games. However, Rayo Vallecano has proven to be a tricky opponent in recent years. In their last encounter back in August, Barcelona managed a comeback victory, but overall, they’ve only claimed two league wins against Rayo since 2019. Rayo has had three wins and two draws against them in their past five meetings, making Monday’s match a tough battle.
Rayo Vallecano has been in top form, earning the most points (13) in LALIGA this year. Under coach Iñigo Pérez, they’ve achieved four wins and one draw in their last five matches, with their last loss occurring on December 1st. They started 2025 with a 2-1 victory over RC Celta and continued their streak with a draw against CA Osasuna and three consecutive wins against Girona FC, CD Leganés, and Real Valladolid.
Currently sitting sixth in the table, Rayo aims to return to European competition for the first time since their quarter-final appearance in the 2001 UEFA Cup. Remarkably, they’ve only lost one of their last 12 matches across all competitions. With 17 points collected away from home this season, Rayo also has the third-best defensive record in the league, conceding just nine goals in 12 away games.
The upcoming match is set up to be a fascinating encounter. It will be intriguing to see if Barcelona’s attacking prowess can overcome Rayo’s solid defense or if the visitors can keep up their impressive form. Fans can look forward to an exciting showdown!
