La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[tomahawk9]

Oh yeah, my 3 fold acca is off to a good start:


I watched the game...and what a shit game that was :/  Anyways, Barca are winning 2-0 at HT, no surprises here.

I am missing those late La Liga games. Few seasons ago we had best match late in the evening with start at 22:00 or even 23:00 sometimes. Just in time to put whole household to sleep and enjoy uninterrupted.

Yeah, but i think La Liga scheduled the Valencia vs Atletico on a Friday night because both teams have Champions League games next week.

Pogba is not really what Real Madrid should be looking for, he is a good player but he is both a bit emotional and always gets injured as well. I think a better player for Madrid could be Kante like previously mentioned, dude has a high motor, constantly runs, be at the offense when attacking and be at defense when defending so much that he almost always has a shot at being the "player with most distance traveled" when the game ends, that is the type of player they should aim at.

If they want more talent and flair instead of just high motor or dedication, they could potentially look for somewhere closer to Modric style but I feel like they have enough talent on their team, they probably just need some sort of hard worker and even maybe a bit aggressive. I would say Arturo Vidal would have been perfect for them but he is at Barcelona.

Barcelona did a good job today with the win over Getafe with 2-1.
Getafe is a strong team and they are always a danger to any team in the La Liga, especially for Barcelona which is not in their best form during this season.

It wasn't good performance by Barcelona, but you have good point. Getafe is dangerous team who have great season, so it wassn't worth to expect easy win. Though, we were able to win easier, because 2nd half was very poor for Barca. And it's good to see Griezmann finally showing something what we expected. And maybe Messi don't score many goals lately, but he is still curicial man on the pitch making so many assists.

Getafe is really strong this season, their defense is pretty good in my opinion. Getafe is suitable to be ranked 3 in the current standings..  Barca prove that they are very strong at home even though there was a small commotion (between Ansu & Nyom).

[Upgrade00]

Getafe were really impressive playing against Barcelona away from home. If they can keep their form up, then they could really hold onto a top four spot until the end of the season.
Setien should be happy with the win against one of the best placed teams of the league this season. Their attention would be gradually shifting to the UEFA champions league clash with Napoli. This may be the best time to face the Italian side as Barcelona seek revenge on the humiliating exit from the UCL about two years ago.

Pogba is a good substitute to Casemiro.
Real might spend some money for Pogba in order to bring him on the bench and rotate him with Casemiro when he needs rest or to be protected. Pogba is not any better than Casemiro and he is a good player to have him on the bench so as to bring solutions from there.

Imagine Pogba coming in as a substitute for Casemiro, This would be total disaster. Casemiro is  defense minded. Pogba is attack minded, and we have enough of attack minded midfielders in Modric, Valverde, Isco etc.

~~This would be total disaster. Casemiro is  defense minded. Pogba is attack minded, and we have enough of attack minded midfielders in Modric, Valverde, Isco etc.

Indeed. Signing Pogba will be harmful to both Real Madrid and Pogba himself. Real Madrid needs to sell one of their top attacker midfielders if they want to sign Pogba. And the option must be Kroos, Modric, or Isco. If Real Madrid is ready to release one of them, so there will be a chance for Pogba. But in my opinion, it is absolutely not needed because it may endanger the solidity of the team. While for Pogba, if he comes to Bernabéu just for sitting on the bench, it possibly kills his career gradually.

I’m not sure why people believe that Pogba is heading to Real Madrid, and even if he does why will he be a bench player out there?. As a Manchester United fan I have seen him play a lot, and I can tell you guys all he needs is the right kind of motivation and players that can push him to his limits and then you’ll see a different version of Paul Pogba. Furthermore I feel that he’s heading towards Juventus, but of course there’s no real confirmation to this and we will have to wait till the summer transfer window to confirm this.

Well there is no provision of Pogba that goes where he will go but I am not sure if Pogba will continue to stay at Manchester United he will definitely reconsider which club can shine his name nati.
But Pogba is still young so it's still said to be brilliant in a long time if you're in a big club as long as you don't just be real mardrid because it's true that you will kill his career slowly.

Pogba is good but not too good as social medias tell about him.

I think a better player for Madrid could be Kante like previously mentioned, dude has a high motor, constantly runs, be at the offense when attacking and be at defense when defending so much that he almost always has a shot at being the "player with most distance traveled" when the game ends, that is the type of player they should aim at.

Kante is a very good midfielder. He is the greatest defensive midfielder after the legendary defensive midfielder, who comes from France too, Claude Makelele. The minus point for Kante if any club want to make a transfer with him is he has become older and does not have too much time playing at his best physical conditions.

If they want more talent and flair instead of just high motor or dedication, they could potentially look for somewhere closer to Modric style but I feel like they have enough talent on their team, they probably just need some sort of hard worker and even maybe a bit aggressive.

Modric, how to find a good alternative for him? I don neither know nor maybe the Real Madrid's president -- Florentino Perez.

I would say Arturo Vidal would have been perfect for them but he is at Barcelona.

Arturo Vidal is an old guy too and Real Madrid does not need such a player like him, in the very long plan.

The transfer season is over. Many ideas may change until the end of the season. I think there may be different opportunities for both Pogba and Real Madrid. But in my opinion, Pogba can go up again with Real Madrid, if such a transfer happens.

Many people think that Pogba's move really happened, it will kill his career because in willingly there are so many good main players in his squad.
But no one knows where Pogba there shines even more than being at Manchester United.

Real Madrid dropped 2 points after draw with Celta 2:2. Honestly, I didn't expected such result against one of weakest La Liga teams so far, especially on away games.
Real were already leading 2:1, but Celta managed to equalize score on 85 minute on great counter attack. What a pass by Dennis Suarez!
It's nice gift for Barca before upcoming El Clasico. When Barca and Real are so close to each other, it will be one of crucial games in title race.

That's it! An awesome gift. Throwing 2 points in such a way is just shameful!
Real Madrid next game is a little difficult than Barcelona ones and obviously harder than today game! Their game vs Barcelona will be very hard, however I expect it will be the worst comparing to the previous years... Overall performance is dropping badly in La Liga...

Even though last night's match was a draw with Celta Vigo but I think Real Madrid will stay focused on the El Classico Final later so that this match is not being ignored, now it is only 1 point apart from Barcelona and I am sure Madrid will remain optimistic going forward.
Soon they will face off against their tough opponents, Manchester City in CL and Barcelona in El Classico.

I lost my multi bet yesterday because of Real Madrid not so good performance.I thought that yesterday night would have been a golden opportunity for Real to extend the lead to three points and make a solid step to come closer to winning the title this year so I add them as my last team to my multi bet.I think I am not the only one to have lost a ticket because of Real.

Not only you, I also lost my bet at the game last night, even I feel unlucky seeing the real Madrid game with Celta Vigo.
Maybe the game last night the players were inconsistent so they could not defend it, I want to really see the El Classico match at the beginning of March.

Well, the only reason Barca has stayed close to Real is the number of wins we manage to turn out of draws. Sure we lost 4 games and Real only lost 1, but they started the season like this, drawing with so many poor teams. So now 1 point remains between us, and I'm happy with the result, I definitely said I would be so happy with the draw and that's exactly what we got.

Can't wait to meet again, this time, Courtois won't be so lucky =p

I think to draw with poor teams is much better than losing with poor teams. 
Yes, got draw result yesterday was a mistake but undoubted that Real is still leading. Anyway, Zidane must evaluate the problem on that match, then it won't happen again in the future. So, losing from Celta yesterday is just a reason to remind all Real Madrid players and the coach to be more careful. Not a too bad result if we look at the positive side.       

So now 1 point remains between us, and I'm happy with the result,

There are still 14 matches remaining, don't be so happy too early. 
After El Classico, Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid on match 33. Be careful, don't lose three points on that match! 

Can't wait to meet again, this time, Courtois won't be so lucky =p

Don't be afraid!! Courtois is always ready to save every attempt. He already experienced bad years previously. Now, I assume he becomes stronger and more mature. And remember that he doesn't work alone in the backline. There is Sergio Ramos, Varane, Casemiro, and two other defenders to help him.

When you lost multi bets in short period, let's stop betting. You need some time-break to see your balance of mood come back, and have a fresh mind for your next bets.

Losing bets, and keep betting is bad because you will become more greedy and make wrong decisions that mostly based on your emotions.
