La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17

It looks like things are not going well for Villareal. as if at the last corner can not find an outlet while nothing seems to be going well.

Real Madrid won the match today I took it easy, but bumpy continues situation.

Barcelona still knows how to win as usual today we can say that it was so. They managed to score thanks to Messi.

Villarreal looks terrible, I watched their recent match against Valencia where submarines were humiliated. They already changed coach, but we don't see any improvement. They haven't won any game in La Liga since November.
While Athletic after change of manager improved their results. They didn't lost any games under manager Garitano and left relegation zone. They still can fight even for Europa league spots!

Espanyol vs Real Madrid should be a good game tonight. Real need to win to keep pace with Barca. Wouldn’t surprise me if Real drop points tonight though.

It indeed was good a game to watch from the very onset, and fortunately for them they were able to bag all 3 points to keep the La Liga  title race and top 4 hopes alive. However, having win earlier, Barcelona still lead the table by 5 points.

Watched the game and we pretty much dominated the entire match until Varane was sent off in the 70' min, after that Espanyol made a good effort to comeback but the match ended 2-4. Overall, a great performance from the team, Benzema was MOTM to me, he pretty much carried the whole team on his back today, kinda worried that Ramos left the pitch in HF due to an injury, hopefully it's not that bad.

Good to see that we're slowly recovering our good form, just in time because we're getting closer to the Champions League games.

Real always come into form near CL games. It’s weird, like some kind of curse that Real own the European Cup. Even in the early days of the competition it really seems to be their trophy

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I don’t want to read about Real Madrid & the CL in the same sentence. I’m still upset about Kiev 2018
Bastard Karius will haunt me forever. Maybe we can go one step further this season, unlikely but hey, what do you have if you can’t dream.

I have 2 tickets for the 1st leg of the last 16 - LFC vs Bayern.

Sevilla - Barcelona

Tough week for Sevilla, they're playing against Real Madrid in the league tomorrow, and 4 days later, against Barcelona.

Tomorrow is quarter-final 2nd leg Barca vs Sevilla,
since 2010 Barca is never lost vs Sevilla when playing at home
I hope Ernesto Valverde doesn't repeat mistakes in the first leg, I'm sure Messi will be played from the start of the game

As fan of Barca I'm really worried before tomorrow's game. Barca need to win by 3 goals, it will be difficult task, Sevilla is really good team. I didn't understood why Valverde played without Messi and some other important players against such powerful team. But Valverde don't think it was mistake because their priority is La Liga and Champions league. But c'mon, it's an important trophy! Why not to give them rest playing against bottom table teams in LaLiga?

Exactly, it could so easily have been better if it was 1 - 0 defeat in the 1st leg, with the away goal rule in place it will be a tough task to accomplish but I don't doubt this team at the Camp Nou, they could pull yet another come back, If they get an early goal then settle into the game.

Barca just smashed Sevilla 6:1 in second leg game of Copa del Rey - this team have big balls! Offcourse, there was some nervous moments, like Banega missed penalty, or 10-15 minutes after Sevilla goal. But in general it was amazing performance. Last goal of Barca was absolute masterclass.
We already know 3 semifinalists of Copa - it's Valencia, Betis and Barca. All three 1/4 final second leg games was amazing to watch. Real also close to reach semifinal - they won 4:2 at home. But they can't be 100% confident, because 2 away goals of Girona is important factor.

Barcelona showed what they can achieve this year. The squad seems solid taking a lot of opportunities to score. I personally want to see better performance from Luiz Suarez. I think he still hasn't reached the top of his performance with Barcelona (as he did when he was playing along with Neymar).  After this game, I don't think they will have any problem accomplishing a Double this season.

Copa del Rey semi-finals:

• Real Betis vs Valencia
• Barcelona vs Real Madrid

And we have El Clásico in the semi finals of the league cup. First leg will be at the Camp Nou next week (wednesday), 2nd leg will be in 3 weeks on the 27th of this month in Madrid, and 3 days later, they'll meet again at the Santiago Bernabeu for the league match.

The last time these two teams met in a league cup semi final was in 2013...who advanced to the final? Real Madrid, who then lost against Atletico Madrid 2-1.

This is an exciting fixture for everyone, as Real Madrid vs Barcelona is always fun to watch, I’m sure both teams would want a victory. I’ll miss the duels of Messi vs Ronaldo, but then Madrid has to step up their game to win these fixtures. I feel if Madrid loose these fixtures badly then their current coach could be sacked either now, or at the end of the season.

[Aqualung89]

Again, it looks like a nice derby match to be watched. Favorites Barcelona certainly they are already pretty well in the league as well. Real Madrid failed to start well this season. Match the star becomes a mess.
Another match in Valencia match valencia comfortable tours there, I think.

It is better to see them in the semi-finals so another team will have the opportunity of chasing the title. I am bored to see always Real and Barca fighting for the titles, Cups and Championships. I believe that Barcelona is going to qualify to the final. It seems to me that they are more completed and Real seems unstable after Ronaldo left even after a half season.

[LTU_btc]

Wow, 3 El Clasico matches in just few weeks! Now both teams don't have much time to prepare for first leg game because it will be played just in few days after draw. In recent weeks Real showing signs of recovery and they are climbing up in league table. I think Real also have little advantage because second leg will be played at Bernabeu. It was announced recently that Barca goalkeeper Cillessen got injury and ter Stegen will have to play in Copa matches. Inaki Pena from Barca B will be reserve goalkeeper.
In other semifinal I think that Betis got great chance to reach final which will be played at their home stadium.  On the other hand Valencia is also dangerous team, but their results aren't stable this season.

[Harkorede]

Barcelona had their 8 games winning run halted as they were held to a 2 - 2 draw at home against Valencia. All thanks to brilliant Messi again as they had to come back from an early 2 goal deficit. With this draw both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid will be looking to close the points gap with Barca, as they both play tomorrow.

[GalaWan]

We watched a beautiful moments in the match but Messi is not really why they were so ineffective. It was very good early in the second half but failed to evaluate Valencia also find many attacks. Messi was again reminded that it is important in the match.

[LTU_btc]

After draw between Barca and Valencia, today Atletico had chance to reduce gap to 3 points. But they lost to Betis 1:0, Atleti made just 1 shot on target! Noe Barca are leading by 6 points.
Real reached fifth win in a row in La Liga against Alaves. Now they are just 2 points behind Atletico and 8 behind Barca. Despite very bad first part of season they are still in fight for La Lita title.

This is gonna make the Madrid Derby next weekend a lot of more exciting, a win for RM means 2nd place, a win for Atletico means a 5 point gap with Real again. Can't for that match.

Real reached fifth win in a row in La Liga against Alaves. Now they are just 2 points behind Atletico and 8 behind Barca. Despite very bad first part of season they are still in fight for La Lita title.

I've been telling people to not understimate Real Madrid, we weren't going to keep that bad form from the start of the season forever. We went from 5th place in the league table to fighting for the 2nd spot...not bad.

Barcelona have dominated the LaLiga title especially the last ten season , which Barcelona have won 6 titles , Real Madrid won 3 titles and Atletico Madrid have only won 1 times.
Even if Real Madrid have most Laliga title than any teams in history and just won the champions league , Barcelona still gonna the hot favor unless Real Madrid show something special in next few LaLiga season.

Real Madrid's star has stopped to shine after Ronaldo left. All lights are on Barcelona now because of Lionel Messi. Apart from the titles, Real Madrid was more commercially profitable all these years because of Ronaldo. If they don't bring another star in the game when Barca will dominate Spain for sure. The title is Barcelona's and I am sad to say that in February as we have still long way to go.
