La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17

[Bdstar]

So the new coach Zidane's second match will be Against Huesca, clearly a small team in LaLiga & it will be easy for Madrid to win and climb upto second position on leage table                   

As a fan, I seriously don't care if we finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th, it's all the same: finishing behind the leader. At this point I just want the team to secure the CL spot and then start preparing for the next season.

La Liga is coming back tomorrow, but there'll be some good games during the weekend like Celta vs Villareal, Alaves vs Atletico, and Sevilla vs Valencia, the latter is actually a key game for both teams since they're fighting for the last Europa League spot in the league table. I'll probably parlay a few teams to win, I'm gonna include Getafe for sure, I'm rooting for them to qualify to the next Champions League (:

Sorry mate, I disagree, all 2,3 or 4th position are not the same.Because I already told 2nd position of LaLiga will have chance to play in Spanish Super Cup since Barcelona is winning LaLiga and probably CDR both.So, if Madrid can climb to 2nd position they will face Barcelona in spanish super cup.     

The current champions of LaLiga will face Espanyol tomorrow and Mess will be on barca squad coming back from injury, A great news for Barcelona fans.

Real Madrid should be able to take silver this season.

Wait, does the Spanish Supercup count as silverware ware for this season?
I thought it would be for next season but even then it's not a guarantee that Real Madrid would win

Ended up going with a 3-team parlay for this weekend, Getafe-Atletico-Real Madrid, all to win @3.75, let's see how it goes!

I hadn't thought of that. Well, that could probably give us some motivation to finish 2nd, but still, it means that we finished behind Barcelona in the league table, again, which completely sucks tbh.

Real Madrid should be able to take silver this season.

It counts towards the next season as the current season in spanish football ends in May. The 2019 Super Cup should start around August.

Complete turnaround for Athletic Bilbao, currently by 1 - 2, after falling half time, about 5 minutes to go, I hope they can hang on to lead.

I can't remember when Girona won match at home last time? Probably it was Copa del Rey match in December against Alaves.
Meanwhile only few months ago Athletic were in relegation zone, but now they are 3 points behind Europa league zone.
On Saturday we will see derby of Barcelona and also direct clash for survival in La Liga between Celta and Villarreal.

[biskitop]

The league can be ascertained the team that will win, namely Barcelona, ​​because duo madrid this season did not provide significant resistance.

It's still 0-0 at Half-time at the Camp Nou.
Local neighbours are proving to be stubborn for Barcelona so far. It would be good for the chasing pack if this match ended into a draw or a loss for Barca.
Espanyol at times give Barcelona had time given that its Catalan derby. Let's see how this ends.

It was tough game. Barca dominated, but for very long time they didn't had good chances to score. Only in 71 minute first goal was scored by Messi (or Victor Sanchez. Guys who watched game, can you explain what Sanchez was trying to do when Messi made free kick? Because it looked like obvious attempt to score own goal

So it seem to me too, but I guess it could be an honest attempt to help the keeper out, because I don't think the keeper could have gotten to the ball either way, or perhaps he assumed that Sanchez already got it covered, Maybe it was due to lack of concentration.

Messi had to save the again yet again, Malcom was pretty impressive too.

Atletico Madrid is buttering Alaves in their own yard.
4-0 so far with the game already in stoppage time. Atletico trying to tighten the second spot away from their city rival Real Madrid.

Real Madrid vs Huesca
So Lucas Zidane is between the sticks for Real Madrid 
Match has just started and i am predicting 3-1 in favour of Real Madrid. Benzema to score.

I took a bet for Madrid to win HT after conceding first need one more goal before the first half ends, I hope Benzema does it

[LTU_btc]

Real achieved difficult win against Huesca after Benzema scored beautiful late goal by Benzema. Today it was interesting to see son of Zidane - Luca playing as main goalkeeper of Real Madrid. Actually, I never heard about him before, I knew only Enzo Zidane :DHuesca played very well tonight, but after this loss I think they don't have chances to stay in La Liga. With 9 games to go they are 7 points away from safe zone.

It's time to be very wary when betting against these relegation struggling teams, Because they are not going to go down without a fight.
 Huesca played well tonight, and were very prepared probably due to the status of their opponents but will it be the same when they're playing against an average side. They'll be very luck to avoid relegation, and they do have only few of tough clashes against Barcelona, and Valencia left on their calender.

Agree, though I predicted a 3-1 win in favour of Madrid, I knew today's opponents were going to put up a fight.
Nice to See Big Benz back to the scoring sheets. It's still so unfamiliar having him as Real Madrid La Liga topic scorer with just 15 goals i think?
Messi has like 31 and Suraez around 18.
This is a very big indicator that something was totally amiss for RM this season... This is one campaign Los Blancos would want to forget so quickly.

[biskitop]

although Madrid has started to improve, but chasing Barcelona is very unlikely. winning over huesca hardly changes anything. but at least they must be consistent to stay in the champions league zone and improve themselves in the summer transfer.

Nah, it's impossible to chasing Barcelona right now, mines 22 points, it's 0 chance. I even think Barcelona is already the winner for this season.

The sad thing is, Real Madrid almost draw vs Huesca which is the very last ranking on la liga. Real Madrid really sucks in this season :/

That was a huge performance from Atletico and with this performance they seem that they will not lose the second position in the league table from the Real. Alaves is a weak team and I couldn't expect that they can pressure Atletico.

[claudiauit]

Really nice goals from Atletico.
Real sucked like all their games this season. I wonder if they can make a comeback with Zizou next season..
I really hope that, because its not satisfying to watch La-Liga when Barcelona is dominating there.

[tomahawk9]

although Madrid has started to improve, but chasing Barcelona is very unlikely.

For Real Madrid? Yes, title race is over...But for Atletico? They're just 10 pts behind Barca. If Barcelona were to lose against Villareal tomorrow (unlikely but who knows) and Atletico wins vs Girona, Atletico will be just 7 pts behind the leaders, and considering that the big game next weekend will be Barcelona vs Ateltico, then a win for Simeone will get them closer to Barca (4 pts)...With 6 games left, anything can happen.

But that's just the perfect scenario for Atletico...For Barcelona, a win next weekend means that the title race will be over and they'll become the league champions.
