Rayo Vallecano at Barcelona



Barcelona's defense features a quartet built for possession-based football: Szczesny in goal, with Cancelo, Christensen, and Koundé forming a backline that can step up and distribute. Rayo counters with Batalla in goal and a defensive unit built around Lejeune and Luiz Felipe.
The books’ price on this one, with the vig taken out, so the three outcomes add to 100.
Where each club sits going in, with the rows either side. Points per game matters more than raw points this far into a season, the schedule is rarely even.
Each club's XI from its most recent match, not a team sheet. The real ones post about an hour before kickoff, and sides rotate.
