La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[tomahawk9]

Sevilla - Barcelona - H2H in the last 10 years at the Sanchez Pizjuan: 1W Sevilla, 5W Barca, 3 draws.

Messi's favorite victim in Spain: Sevilla. 36 games, 33 goals. Messi needs one more goal to reach 700 in his career^[1].

Barcelona ML @2.17 or Messi anytime goalscorer @1.84 are good picks. BTTS or Barca DNB are decent picks.

Full time score, 3:0 Real Madrid were quite dominant in this game Another assist for Hazard following up from the last game and nice of Asensio to get a goal and an assist, as they mount pressure on Barcelona at the top.

Real Sociedad who have seen their top four spot slip away since the resumption of the league desperately need a win in their next fixture against Real Madrid, they're chasing their first UCL spot in about six years but but with their recent draw and defeat, they face a difficult task of turning their season around.

Outstanding performance for all real madrid players ,they are looks solid eventhough at the first 10 minutes they seems a bit struggled handling valencia counter attack.

And ah yeah as expected real sociedad won't last long keeping their Champions League spot .. it qas indeed a good start until in the end those who survive at the top 4 are only those who have the real winning mentality. Real sociedad hasn't got that yet.

For tonight match there's sevilla play at home (doesn't matter anymore actually due the 0 attendance    ) against Barcelona.
Will Barcelona slipped this time? In the crucial moment? I guess so. If i had loads of money now.. I'll put my money for Sevilla all the way or else ... I'll be backing Sevilla even once they left behind to get bigger odds on draw or sevilla!
I'm not doing that unfortunately in succh covid19 hard times

Sevilla vs Barcelona should be a good game tonight, Sevilla is a tough ground to win at although it won’t hold the same fear factor now as obviously it’s behind closed doors. Because of the no home fans situation I expect Barca to win.

In order for Barcelona to win tonight He must know how to keep the ball. Because the Seville club does well in the la Liga matches, despite the absence of the public, the club will struggle. I think Messi will be facing a real test tonight.

Barcelona is a team that relies on the power of ownership of the ball in every game they play. I have no doubt that Barcelona is able to keep its distance from Real Madrid tonight. Defeating Sevila is something they must do to strengthen their position at the top of the table. Sevila is not a weak team, but the last 10 match have been very inconsistent. I am sure they will provide maximum resistance tonight, but beating Barcelona is not an easy task if Messi is in good condition.

Another amazing night on Sunday, there are three games and all three of them do look juicy to wager together, I will probably make another parlay on them.

First game is Alaves versus Celta and looking at how Celta basically sucked all year, I would say Alaves wins that game, after that game there is Valencia versus Ossasuna and Valencia looks like the better team and they could potentially get closer to Europe with a win (doubtful even if they win) and that would be a must win for them.

Lastly but not least Madrid versus Sociedad, now that should be a fun game to watch. When you combine all of these games together on sportsbet.io you get 14.89 because for some reason they have given alaves the bad odds at 4.51, I would say everyone should take advantage of it, they are surely not that bad considering they are ahead of Celta vigo on the league rankings.

Sevilla are so strong at home, but Barcelona could still perform their tricks. Sevilla will make it tough but Barcelona will also try their best to either win or draw the game. With the current outcome, Barcelona have more procession and shots on target, this is very likely that the game may favor Barcalona, but just in play prediction.

50 minutes gone and Barcelona is in complete control but sadly still unable to produce any goal look like we are going to have only one goal or goal less draw as Sevilla is also doing good at home without crowd.

Sevilla 0 - 0 Barcelona

My face right now because I jinxed it earlier today:



Real Madrid fans, where we at?? you're welcome    we need those 3 points vs. Sociedad to climb back to the top of the league, so we can't celebrate just yet...but we can smile 

[Captain Corporate]

 Well this makes things a bit different. Now that Barcelona got a tie, Madrid has a chance to catch up and go for the title. I am not saying this is going to end up like that but these type of games are really the ones that affect a championship run. Of course I can't blame Barcelona at all, they haven't played a game for over three months and just got back to playing and training very recently, considering they do have some players who are on the older side and the team heavily relies on, I would say its pretty normal for them to get back on their feet a bit later than the young guys. However this is barcelona, nothing is over until they say its over and I believe they will learn from this and come back with a vengeance for the rest of the season to get that title, or at least try to.

[snipie]

Didn't watch the full match, saw only the latest minutes, Sevilla attacking, a good opportunity and an easy shoot to the goalkeeper hands. Damn. Congrats Barca for losing 2 points, hope Real Madrid win its game Sunday and doesn't miss that golden opportunity!

Yep, this result is worth a smile to us  

I know Sociedad may not be an easy opponent but i believe we can thrase them on a good day

The logic is simple, if Messi Doesn't assist or score a goal, Barca are fucked

I wouldn't say I was surprised by the result, I anticipated it from the onset, over the last matches I knew the winnings weren't due to a top notch performance and that the team would struggle against well organized opponents. However, I still feel rather more confident over the team's overall shape and improvement.

I took a bet live in 42nd minute

Messi-dependencia is a chronic disease of Barca and it has lasted for many years. With the another coming 2-year contracts for Messi, Barca will keep depending on him.

The interesting point in the match is the moment when Messi shown his angry after he get fooled with a very dangerous tackling. Personally, such defensive tackling in worst case can result in serious injury and can put an endpoint for Messi's career. That is understandable why he did so angry yesterday.

[slaman29]

Didn't watch the game was way too early (or late depending) for me, but disappointed to see the draw and at the cost of energy and a couple of yellow cards. Only highlight I saw was a Messi heated argument near to half time. Sevilla actually had one more shot on goal.

Expensive draw but anyway, Real need to win by 4 goals to be top spot. This is getting very tight guys.

I've expected this result.

An important match like this always bring some more nervous factor in the team and yeah as you can see even messi blow his emotions there.

Now the real pressure are on real madrid .. eventhough they have a chance to get the first place by winning the next match with 3 or 4 goals difference.
I doubt it would be easy, the match might gives you a real surprise.

Just look at the head to head between them.
Real madrid won 2
Real sociedad won 3

That's the last 5 matches .
So yeah you can think about it now

[Daniel91]

A very pessimistic statement by GERARD PIQUE after the match. Does Pique really give up and no longer believe in the title?
“No dependemos de nosotros mismos y vistas estas jornadas será muy difícil ganar #LaLiga”
English translation: "We don't depend on ourselves and given these days it will be very difficult to win #LaLiga."
Source: https://twitter.com/elchiringuitotv/status/1274101514278223872

Pique seems to see or know more than he speaks publicly, that this Barcelona team is not good enough for the title.

EDIT: A little more on this story

Nope. The tiebreakers in La Liga after 'Points' are H2H results (points and goal difference). If we win 1-0 tomorrow, we will climb to 1st place because the goal difference/points in the H2H is positive for Real Madrid (first Clasico ended 0-0, second one 2-0 for us)  

[NEWS] Pique could be sanctioned for at least 4 games because of what he said in the post-match interview yesterday. (Source)

I am a big fan of Messi but this is a sad event that happened in today's Match.

Real Sociedad have always been a panic for Real Madrid, remember how they kicked out Real Madrid from Copa Del Rey in the quarter final? I guess it won't be that easy for Real Madrid to the get top place. I won't be surprise if Madrid lost point on this match. I guess Sociedad is the biggest resistance to Madrid to get the title. Otherwise, Barca has created the option for Madrid by losing point on last match.
If Madrid can win all the rest matches and so does Barca, Madrid will get the title which I guess is a better chance for Madrid.

[FanEagle]

The league will carry on to play the whole season right? Full 38 games? I mean right now there is 30 games played and in 8 games there is 24 points to be made, I doubt that neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona would get 24 points out of rest of the season. So, this game did mattered and Barcelona should have won, however that doesn't mean that Barcelona would lose or would mean Real will win, there is 8 more games left and if Barcelona keeps losing or getting ties or Real Madrid loses or gets ties there is still a chance to not only win the league for both teams but to win it few games early as well depending on the results of the other team.

There is a good amount of pressure building on both teams, becoming champions gives a ton of money on La liga, the top two teams gets proportionally insane amount compared to rest of the league and the top one gets even more.
