Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona Prediction

For this Copa del Rey fixture we go with Under 2.5 goals for Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona, at 72% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Rayo Vallecano's games produced 3.0 goals on average, 3 of them over 2.5. Barcelona's games averaged 2.8, with 2 of 5 over the line. Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went under 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing Under 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 0 of their last 2 meetings finished under 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 72%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 1-2. The pick lost.
