La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17

[Juggy777]

La Liga is coming back tomorrow.

I think Huesca is a more or less sure win, specially considering they are playing at home and Rayo still has 0 points

Yes finally some club football considering the form Atletico Madrid had shown before the break not expecting them to win easily. I feel Real Madrid will continue their goal scoring ways, when they come up against Bilbao who would have thought post Ronaldo exit they would perform so well. I expect Barcelona to win, considering Soceidad has only won one of their opening three fixtures.

Tomorrow I'm backing Atletico to get their second win in the league as the visitors Eibar have been struggling to cope in the new league they lost 2-1 at home to Huesca and then 2-0 away to an average Getafe so it's probably this is their season where they will be candidate for relegation Atletico will dominate possession and demoralise their opponents for the hole game but I don't think they will be scoring amounts of goals. So I'm going with Atletico to win HT/FT.

Short summary of todays matches. Atletico continue to drop points, this time they played 1:1 with Eibar. And this isn't worst possible result for Atleti because they scored equalizing goal on 94th minute. Now they 7 points behind Barca only after 4 matches.
Barca had typical difficult match at Anoeta. They were loosing 1:0, but in the middle of 2nd half Suarez and Dembele scored. Ter Stegen made some great saves again. Barca remain only team in La Liga with perfect score so far.
Real played with Athletic 1:1. It was really good game to watch and I think that 1:1 is fair score, Athletic deserved to get 1 point at least.

Barca atleast won the match but Real Madrid were only able to make the game draw. Now Barcelona is leading the table. Atletico madrid team is always the same out of 5 match they will win only 1 and balance they will try to draw or lose it. So when ever their match is their you can go with under 2.5 goal and first half draw, most of the time you will win the bet.

lopetegui what is this man have in his mind that tells him to leave Casemiro on the bench, although the Real would always suffer without him, with his entry and him Isco give great vitality to the Real and after the equalizer, the entry of Vázquez and the exit of Bale was strange change does not make any sense as this move is useless so with this match results it leaves Barça alone in the lead and it's possible for the remaining of the season.

Interesting things in La Liga tonight. Barca lost against Leganes 2:1, and I would say that that Leganes deserved to win because they were a better team, especially in 2nd half. I can't understand Valverde decision why Vermaelen played left back, it's not his position! And Pique had another awful match in a row.
And Real loosing against Sevilla 2:0 at 35 minute. Such result would be a perfect gift to Barca
EDIT Sevilla was very close to score 3rd goal.
EDIT2 : 3:0

Just watching the game and Sevilla is much more dangerous team. Every time Real loses the ball, Sevilla looks ready to score. This one could finish very bad for Real. All Real players look a bit flat (except Bale), I guess they celebrated Modric award a little bit too much

Spanish bookmakers today can easily pay the whole national debt with an only tranche.
When was the last time both Real and Barca lose against underdogs on the same day? The closest example I managed to remember is 2013 CL semifinals, but those were against Bavaria and Borussia, not Leganes and Sevilla. Btw, nice news for Atletico fans and neutral observers because Simeone's squad is back in the race for the title.

I find the results bizzare when you look at the quality of the players at Real Madrid and Barcelona, who would have thought they would loose, and open up the top spot for the title. Barcelona score sheet yet looks better, but Real Madrid hammered for three goals it's simply astonishing. This is a golden opportunity for Atletico to start winning and make a strong case for winning the league, but then again their form has been mixed this season, it'll be interesting to see how La Liga goes from here.

What a surprising result from 2 big teams Barcelona and Real Madrid, the good thing is both team points still same but it's really surprised how 2 big teams lose in the same day. I bet no one expected it,

I think Valverde and Barcelona underestimated Leganes, even if they were at the bottom of the league, that's not enough reason to start rotating key players (like Alba and Suarez). Every time Valverde rotates players, Barcelona struggles, it seems like they can only win if they have the main squad on the pitch.

About Real Madrid, we simply got outplayed by a team that defended really well with a high press not allowing Modric and Kroos to takeover the midfield. Sevilla also took advantage of the massive spaces we left whenever we started buildup plays, we suffered way too much from counter attacks. All in all, we're still leaders with Barcelona, that's the only positive thing from today's match.

Sevilla is very good team but 3-0 didn't see long time
Barca losing game against outsider in stupid way two goals in two minuits
Very strange results but it is football

Real Madrid are definitely not going to win the LA Liga this season because they certainly lack the mentality and the passion to win it. A team that saw Barcelona lost earlier would have done anything to win and open a 3 point lead over them but they failed.

Not a great week for Barcelona at all, They have gotten a total of two points out of a possible nine points as they held Athletic Bilbao to 1-1 draw with Munir equalizing for the Catalans in the dying minutes of the game.

A goaless draw between the poles of Madrid
I did not understand the goal of the game it didn't have any taste Ceballos was like a  jewel in the middle of the stadium player gave a great dynamism to the center of the Real while Benzema needs to abandon the number 9 and and forget his himself an attacker, he had no deadly instinct in the game. The penalty area spends most of his time out of play centrally and running behind defenders, Real Madrid know they will not be as strong as last season after all Barca and Real each of them is determined to top the standings.

Atletico Madrid should have won the game and the it fell into Greizmann to score but he missed two glorious opportunities and that’s why the game ended in a draw but am sure the Los Blancos would really appreciate the outcome of the game today.

Seeing the last some matches of La Liga it shows that their were so many upsets and draw game. This season their are so many turns and fixing in almost games.

It's was surprising that the Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid ended in a draw it seems that that Real Madrid really needed Cristiano Ronaldo for this game because they were toothless in their attack.

I really can't call this result surprising. Goalkeepers of both teams just had a great game.
But Barca draw with Athletic is really not expected. Sometimes I can't understand Valverde squad rotation. After loss to Leganes, now Messi started match on bench. And Barca was really toothless in attack in first half. Suarez isn't same as he was 2-3 years ago. Only when Messi was released, attacks of Barca become more dangerous and they managed to score equalizing goal. And Pique is awful in defence...
