La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[rahmad2nd]

Sevilla has tough defender Sergio Ramos even though he is no longer young but his experience against the Catalan team is no longer in doubt, even though Sevilla got off to a bad start to the season but in my opinion they will definitely put up a fight against Barcelona, ​​even though Sevilla are not the favorites but I am sure that Sevilla  being able to get points from at least a draw is far more enough for Sevilla, but if luck is on Sevilla's side then that is a bonus.

The presence of Sergio Ramos in Sevilla's defense might make this team a little stronger, but that alone is not enough to withstand every Barcelona attack. It is not certain that Ramos will be used as the main starter, considering that Barcelona's players have speed and agility. meaning, Sevilla needs a combination of young and senior defenders. otherwise, their energy will be very drained in this match. In this match, it is very likely that Xavi will field his starting eleven to get full points. Thus, temporarily Barcelona will return to leading the top of the standings. The draw against Mallorca was the basis for Xavi not wanting to repeat only getting minor results. So, like it or not, Barcelona will play aggressively.

On the contrary, Sevilla has experienced an increase in performance in the last three matches. They won two matches, one match ended in a draw. In this match, it will be a difficult match for Sevilla. because, on paper, Barcelona will win this match. especially if we refer to the available odds, Barcelona with odds @1.39 and Sevilla with @7.20. Obviously, there is a gap that differentiates based on the odds. My estimate for this match is that Barcelona will score 3 goals, maybe Sevilla will only get 1 goal in return. So, the Under/Over option can be a betting option or a -1.5 handicap option with odds @1.95.

Sergio Ramos' return to Sevilla is certainly very good for motivating young players. Not only is he a motivator but he also still has the energy to help Sevilla improve their position in the standings. But it looks like Ramos will be very difficult to rely on against Barcelona, he is starting to age and is certainly no longer able to play at a high tempo. I present El Barca will be able to pick three points in that match.

We all know Ramos is a player with experience, but José Luis Mendilibar doesn't seem to be giving him much playing time so far. Mendilibar didn't play Ramos when Sevilla beat Almeria 5-1 a few days ago, but today Ramos looks like he will get a place in the main squad because it can help Sevilla defend better.

Barcelona of course already knows what they have to do for this match after their failure to get full points in the match against Mallorca. Barcelona, ​​which is playing at home, will certainly be very motivated to win 3 points instead of letting Sevilla steal points, but we never know what the final result will be even if Barcelona is the favorite to win it. The match will be difficult for both teams, at least that is what we can hope for.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Sevilla cannot be underestimated, indeed they have not found their best performance at the start of this season but in terms of quality this team is quite capable so Barcelona will have great difficulty in the match against Sevilla later.
And on the other hand, Barcelona's performance also started to decline and even in their last match they couldn't win the match and the highlight was Barcelona's defense line which was quite weak so this season the Barcelona team conceded a lot.

This weekend's match will be played at Barcelona's home ground, maybe this makes them a little favorite but overall I think Barcelona and Sevilla's chances of winning this match are quite equal and there is even a big possibility that the match will end in a draw.

The draw achieved at Mallorca headquarters meant that Barcelona lost the top of the standings and had to drop to third place in the standings list. Sevilla is better than Mallorca, Barcelona must build a tighter defensive wall when hosting Sevilla. Mallorca scored two goals due to Barcelona weak defense, Xavi Hernandez needed to rotate pairs of players in the center back area and the defensive midfielders had to be more alert in helping the defense area.

Barcelona defense this season is very different from last season, Xavi has to close the holes that create gaps for the opposing team to score goals against them. Sevilla could have made Barcelona lose in front of their supporters if their defense was still like when they were held to a draw by Mallorca.

[Out of mind]

Sevilla has tough defender Sergio Ramos even though he is no longer young but his experience against the Catalan team is no longer in doubt, even though Sevilla got off to a bad start to the season but in my opinion they will definitely put up a fight against Barcelona, ​​even though Sevilla are not the favorites but I am sure that Sevilla  being able to get points from at least a draw is far more enough for Sevilla, but if luck is on Sevilla's side then that is a bonus.

But it looks like Ramos will be very difficult to rely on against Barcelona, he is starting to age and is certainly no longer able to play at a high tempo. I present El Barca will be able to pick three points in that match.

Ramos has done enough to push Sevilla up the standings, he is a great player who inspires everyone with his play. Although Sergio Ramos can perform well for Sevilla and has that power, playing alone can never lead a team and requires the help of all players. However, Sevilla's match against Barcelona is going to be a very attacking match, although Barcelona will attack enough to win at home.  Barcelona have enough young stars to make a strong Barça team, but Sevilla have a good star in Youssef EN nesyri and Ramos is good too. But Ramos has reached his age for which he will not be able to perform very well, so it will not be easy to win their match against Barcelona, but it is guaranteed to lose the match.

[giammangiato]

In the last two games Barcelona have been struggling to get to that winning ways like a comfortable winning ways.
Barcelona will be hosting Seville a stubborn side is going to be very difficult for the home team and I can't say who's going to win but as it is a draw is certain on this fixture.
Xavi needs to get his team together if they want to win this game because in their last game they played out 2-2 which would have taken them to the top if they had won and always coming from behind won't help them in this fixture if they let Seville to scored first, so I just want to see a great game tonight.

Xavi is really struggling to keep the bar straight, yes Barcelona are winning but really with a lot of effort.
Now that the Champions League begins, will you be able to hold on to the Liga and Champions League fronts?

Given all this effort, I honestly consider it really difficult if they play in this mode

The draw achieved at Mallorca headquarters meant that Barcelona lost the top of the standings and had to drop to third place in the standings list. Sevilla is better than Mallorca, Barcelona must build a tighter defensive wall when hosting Sevilla. Mallorca scored two goals due to Barcelona weak defense, Xavi Hernandez needed to rotate pairs of players in the center back area and the defensive midfielders had to be more alert in helping the defense area.

Barcelona defense this season is very different from last season, Xavi has to close the holes that create gaps for the opposing team to score goals against them. Sevilla could have made Barcelona lose in front of their supporters if their defense was still like when they were held to a draw by Mallorca.

Barcelona had an opportunity to top the league but they gave it up with a draw against Mallorca and have given their rivals an opportunity to top then in the league, if Realmadrid wins against Genoa they would be the at the top of the league and even though Genoa are at the top currently and in a very good form, it's still very possible that Realmadrid would beat them.

 Sevilla haven't really been impressive but they could make the game very tough for Barca but i don't think Xavi would like to drop another point if not he'll be giving his rivals an opportunity to top with some points, their defense was careless against Mallorca so they ought to be careful not to make same errors with Sevilla that are a more tougher team in the Laliga.

I present El Barca will be able to pick three points in that match.

For other players it can definitely motivate because Sergio Ramos is great player who had quite popular name in his youth but even though he is currently with Sevilla I still don't think Ramos arrival can help Sevilla get out of the bad zone they are currently experiencing.
There are only few hours left before Sevilla will face Barcelona one of the Spanish giants and Sevilla will have to face Barcelona at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium so it is impossible for Sevilla to win the match unless they really have luck.

It seems that in the this time match the Sevilla players and Jose Luis Mendilibar who is the coach will not be able to be happy or smile as broadly as before when they faced Almeria.
Now Barcelona odds are getting lower and I hope no one is left behind or only gets the lowest odds for Barcelona.

We saw another thing in this match. Mason Greenwood the player of Getefe is still not in a good situation there and the fans of other teams wish death for him.
He was under investigation for something when he was playing for Manchester United and they why Mason Greenwood had to leave the team. Even now, when Mason Greenwood is playing for Getafe the case is not close for him and we saw them in the game against Bilbao while he had the same drama against Osasuna in the past weeks.




https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mason-greenwood-die-chants-could-31054795

The case he experienced previously meant he couldn't play for quite a long time, so when he was finally able to return to playing he needed time to adapt, especially as this was a new club for him with a different league so the atmosphere is also different, so it would take quite a bit of time for him, but unfortunately the fans certainly hoped he could do impressed from the start but it was only his third match.
However, the results obtained by Getafe were not pleasant because they were unable to maximize their advantage in the number of players, even Bilbao still had the lead but Getafe managed to equalize the third match with around 7 minutes remaining in normal time.

yesterday I said here what wrong with Greenwood? at the last minute I saw that it was like a drama was being carried out, who knows what, he fell down on his own for no reason because I did not delve into the case and only thought about my bet to win. but if I look at the case, it seems like there is something wrong with him physically, I mean maybe he has a disease in his body so he always experiences problems in every match and I wonder why Getafe took this player when he has unstable health or just something drama to buy time for the match.

If you watched Bilbao match with Getafe yesterday you would have seen a very funny drama when Greenwood suddenly fell on the sidelines for no reason.

Sorry for being this late, but i see the game, and man..... i dont know if any part of his contract with Getafe said he has to remain on the pitch or play X ammount of minutes, because he played like trash, he was walking the pitch doing nothing.

Barcelona of course already knows what they have to do for this match after their failure to get full points in the match against Mallorca. Barcelona, ​​which is playing at home, will certainly be very motivated to win 3 points instead of letting Sevilla steal points, but we never know what the final result will be even if Barcelona is the favorite to win it. The match will be difficult for both teams, at least that is what we can hope for.

Barcelona have more motivate for getting three points and back to the top position placed, they have loss points last match from unpredictable teams Real Mallorca and made Barcelona failed to manage top position place from Girona. Sevilla have good progress slowly back to the top level performance in La Liga after on relegation position and now back to 12th standings, last match Sevilla won from Almeria 5-0 and seems enough capital against Barcelona have bad result last match held draw by Real Mallorca.

Have Champion League match on middle week, between Sevilla and Barcelona have smart make rotation and not loss points between domestic league or Champion League. Will Barcelona full of rotation or Sevilla keep with the same starting eleven last match after winning from Almeria.

[shinratensei_]

I think we shouldn't expect any surprises today - the Catalans will try to go forward to the opponent's goal from the first seconds. The team has a very powerful offensive line, which will allow Barcelona to realize their chances. "Sevilla" now is not a team that can cause problems to the leaders of La Liga. So I think the Catalans will get three points.

Sevilla has tough defender Sergio Ramos even though he is no longer young but his experience against the Catalan team is no longer in doubt, even though Sevilla got off to a bad start to the season but in my opinion they will definitely put up a fight against Barcelona, ​​even though Sevilla are not the favorites but I am sure that Sevilla  being able to get points from at least a draw is far more enough for Sevilla, but if luck is on Sevilla's side then that is a bonus.

Sevilla has improved in performance when compared to the early days, yes it's not significant, but it's good enough. When comparing with Barcelona, it is clear that we will see a considerable difference between these two clubs, and it is natural that there will be many people who doubt Sevilla because they are dealing with a tough club, Barcelona. I also think Barcelona will win this game, but I wouldn't rule out Sevilla getting a point, at least 1 point in this game. Their defense will be really tested in this match, and it looks like Sevilla will play by relying on counterattacks and playing deeper.

That's true but the next match is against barcelona which is one of the strongest team in the la liga right now. I will praise sevilla so much if mendilibar's club will beat barcelona no matter how bad or good the game is.
real madrid will be really thankful to the sevilla if it will happen. Girona will face real madrid and barcelona sees the match against sevilla as an opportunity to make the gap becomes bigger.

It's quite impossible for sevilla to win the game but barcelone shall also be careful to anticipate the surprises that may come from sevilla anytime. I hope that sevilla will play even better than the previous season caused by sevilla needs to boost its club now.
Seeing sevilla performed so badly was a classic thing but i hope if the club will able to make some changes.

Atletico Madrid are in the lead by 1-0 right now in the second half maybe. But the football they have played so far isn't impressive to me. They have only two goal attempts in the whole 55 minutes so far. This statistics is really risky for them. Because as long as they can't increase the goal gap to two they might have to leave the pitch by one point.

Osasuna have had many more attempts than them but they just can't find the target. But they must be still very hopeful as it score is still 1-0. Getting one point would be good enough for Osasuna. But I hope Atletico Madrid manage to win here.

Atletico Madrid secured a 2-0 win over Osasuna. Atlético Madrid took the lead in the first 20 minutes but failed to score for a long period and at times Osasuna's attack made the match questionable but R. Riquelme finally scored another goal late in the game to seal the win. Atlético Madrid are having a good time as they beat Real Madrid in a match before this match. This season we see quite a few rivals in La Liga. Where Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid ruled the La Liga in other seasons, new teams are also making a chance to do well this season.

Indeed, it seems that Atletico only relied on counter attacks in this match, because in reality Atletico also did not have good dominance in statistics. Of course, if Atletico applies a strategy like this when playing against those in the lower zone, then at least the results can guarantee victory. Even though, for example, Atletico was not able to score the second goal but still, basically Osasuna at this moment also did not have a good performance. Moreover, Atletico has a good winning record when playing against Osasuna so yes, victory is indeed a definite result for Atletico in this match.

Barcelona is currently the top team in La Liga. Barcelona team performance is much better than Real Madrid team. Real Madrid have some serious deficiencies in their attack. The Barcelona team has performed exceptionally well in the La Liga as well as the Champions League so far. But I think La Liga will ultimately be very competitive with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Atletico madrid's performance was very composed in this match.  The team is in good rhythm. Atletico madrid's players have grown in confidence after their 3-1 win over Real madrid. And the team performed well against Osasuna. Atlético Madrid's performance was not too strong though. They attacked very little in this match. Perhaps a total of 5 shots were made by Atletico Madrid players. Atletico Madrid performed very carefully in this match. But in this match, every attack of Atlético Madrid was planned. Atletico Madrid's match strategy has improved. The bond between the team players is also very strong now.

[Blitzboy]

In the last two games Barcelona have been struggling to get to that winning ways like a comfortable winning ways.
Barcelona will be hosting Seville a stubborn side is going to be very difficult for the home team and I can't say who's going to win but as it is a draw is certain on this fixture.
Xavi needs to get his team together if they want to win this game because in their last game they played out 2-2 which would have taken them to the top if they had won and always coming from behind won't help them in this fixture if they let Seville to scored first, so I just want to see a great game tonight.

I think about Barcelona's recent problems and the game they have coming up against Sevilla. Its clear that the team is weak because they are always chasing the game. Even though Sevilla hasnt played very well lately, Barcelona cant be relaxed. I think Xavi needs to strengthen the defense to keep things from getting worse. Even though they have skilled players like Cancelo and Felix, they focus too much on attack, which leaves a huge hole in their defense that Sevilla can use to their advantage. I think the mix between attack and defense is very important for a comfortable win. Xavi needs to change his plans so that his team has a strong defense while letting the attackers do their job. If he doesnt, a draw seems likely, doesnt it?

Barcelona have more motivate for getting three points and back to the top position placed, they have loss points last match from unpredictable teams Real Mallorca and made Barcelona failed to manage top position place from Girona. Sevilla have good progress slowly back to the top level performance in La Liga after on relegation position and now back to 12th standings, last match Sevilla won from Almeria 5-0 and seems enough capital against Barcelona have bad result last match held draw by Real Mallorca.

Have Champion League match on middle week, between Sevilla and Barcelona have smart make rotation and not loss points between domestic league or Champion League. Will Barcelona full of rotation or Sevilla keep with the same starting eleven last match after winning from Almeria.

Barcelona basically played well when building attacks against Mallorca, but in that match Barcelona's defense seemed to have made a fatal mistake. Several opportunities created throughout the match were not utilized perfectly by the players, and that is why Barcelona failed to take top position from Girona.

Considering that Barcelona has lost 4 points in 7 matches, perhaps they should do their best in matchday 8. This is an important match for Barcelona after the draw on the road, but not many people doubt them at home. Barcelona has home advantage to perform well, but no one knows whether they will still make the same mistakes or play better than the previous match.

[BIT-BENDER]

Barcelona may have been impressive this year but looking at how their defense has been I believe that's the only down side in their game, and it's an important aspect of the game as it can cost them to drop points like they did against Real Mallorca, but what I would not take anything away from the ability of Barcelona to turn any game around and credit has to go to the team spirit and believe.

Sevilla on the other hand has been in a good form and has been finding it easy to score goals this season this is where they can hurt Barcelona, looking at Barcelona conceding four goals in two matches. And they aren't a small team so they may hold on Better if they have the lead against Barcelona.

My prediction is a hard game and very entertaining but I see Barcelona wining today against Sevilla.

Nothing is impossible in football, because in football anything can happen, even though the two clubs that will meet display very different statistics.
I think it's clear that Barcelona will dominate the game, because that's what they're used to.
I also hope the same, hope Sevilla can play well, yes at least they can break every attack that Barcelona will launch. Winning is a very difficult thing for them to get, so a draw is a good result for them to get in this match. Their target does not need to be too big, although victory is the best thing.

While Barcelona has 17 points in the league, Sevilla has only 7 points, and Barça is doing really well these days. Real Madrid lost points, while Barcelona continued to maintain its form. Now I expect the same from them against Sevilla. They get an easy win against Sevilla and show once again that they are the biggest favorites for the championship.

Barcelona team is much stronger than Sevilla at the moment. The performance of the Sevilla team is now very poor. But let's not forget that this team is very experienced. They won the Europa League last season. And so if Barcelona make any mistakes in this match, they are likely to lose points. Barcelona are favorites in this match but they have to perform very carefully. Sevilla usually play defensive tactics. And so Barcelona should adopt an attacking strategy in this match. Barcelona dropped points against Mallorca in the last match. And so if Barcelona wants to stay in the title fight, they have to get full points in this match. If not, the team will fall further behind Real Madrid.

Regardless of the rank we have to consider the performance, Barcelona are in their best form but despite being in the best form they are now third. Although Sevilla is the 12th team in the points table, this team has the ability to turn around against Barcelona. In this match against Barcelona, they might plan to win the match but draw and share the points. If Barcelona lose or draw the next match and Real Madrid win their match then Real Madrid will move back to the top of the points table. If Real Madrid loses in the next match, Barcelona still has no chance to move to number one in the points table because Real Madrid's next match is against Girona.
