Tipped scorers: Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) · Karim Adeyemi (Barcelona)

Why we called it

Barcelona will have had four days since hosting Athletic, so Flick can pick his strongest front line of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Adeyemi with Pedri and Fermín behind, De Jong and Bardghji the only significant absentees. Rayo have one point from two, lost 2-1 at Sevilla, and Beñat San José is without Luiz Felipe and Batalla with Isi Palazón and Kumbulla doubtful. Rayo will sit deep and stay compact as they usually do at the Camp Nou, so a controlled 2-0 rather than a rout looks right.
