La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Jody.Drummer]

After the departure of Karim Benzema from the Real Madrid team, the attacking part of the team was completely weakened. The right wing and left wing performed exceptionally well, but the team lacked a finisher. Hopefully Real Madrid will add a great finisher to the team soon and make the team self-sustainable, but the team will be in for some trouble this season.

From what angle do you see Madrid weakening?
Indeed, the loss of Benzema still gives the impression that it must be difficult to avoid because Madrid does not have a pure striker but when it comes to finishing in 8 matches in La Liga they have scored 16 goals and in the Champions League they have scored 4 goals in 2 matches, which means that when talking about the ratio in 1 match Madrid's ratio of 2 goals is still very good in my opinion.

Madrid do lack a pure striker now but that doesn't mean they are weak because until now their performance is still very good so I don't see what is called weakening as you said.

He might say it's because Real Madrid don't have a sharp striker to make a difference. But it's also not true to say that their attack is weakened, because so far they have been able to perform well by winning matches, although many of the goals have come from their midfield players.
Real Madrid are preparing to make some signings in the upcoming transfer window in my opinion, because they need a striker who can make a difference, at least like K Benzema. Right now they don't have that, and they're lucky enough that the rest of the squad has a good goal prductivity to make up for their shortcomings this season.

Atletico Madrid vs Sociedad could be a big match this weekend because the conditions from Sociedad was quite good now and 5 wins from 8 matches proven Sociedad is in the good shape and so far Sociedad only lose from Real Madrid and their performance at champion league also quite impressive because Sociedad can able to win from Salzburg and draw from strong team Inter Milan

I have been notice Takefusa Kubo currently was onfire because so far during this season he has scores 5 goals and Kubo also as Sociedad top scorer and for this match Atletico Madrid manager Simeone look very confident to facing this match because during this season Atletico Madrid was very impressive during playing at home and from 3 latest home matches Atletico can able to win whole matches and Atletico Madrid seems the favourite in this match but Sociedad also is not easy opponent for them

 

The two teams are only one point apart, Atletico is in 4th position and Real Socieadad is in 5th position in the standings. Talking about Atletico Madrid, currently Atletico is hosting Feyenoord. This match will be very important for Diego Simeone's squad, to get full points to secure their position in the Group E phase. Remember, previously Atletico were held to a draw when they visited Lazio's headquarters. However, talking about the match in La Liga against Sociedad, it seems that Atltico will not let Sociedad take over their position in the standings. Apart from that, Atletico also achieved impressive results in their last 3 matches. Plus, in this meeting Atletico is more favored than the away team.

As for Real Sociedad, it is not much different from Atletico. in the last three matches in La Liga, Sociedad swept away three wins. Plus, securing its position in first place in the Champions League in Group D. In this week's match, it doesn't look like it will be an easy match for Sociedad. especially, if we refer to the H2H meeting of these two teams. Of the three meetings in La Liga, Sociedad had difficulty overthrowing Atletico. So, it's only natural that Atletico is the favorite team. Plus, Atletico doesn't want to lose points to stay in the top four of the La Liga standings. Also, Diego Simeone's squad is aiming for 3rd place which is occupied by Girona. However, we'll see later. because, currently Atletico is playing their match against Feyenoord in the Champions League group phase.

currently, Madrid has a player who is the current top scorer this season. it cannot be taken lightly. We all know how strong Madrid is and to date they are also the team that has conceded the fewest goals.
Madrid is a strong team on all fronts. Any team that will face them will of course think about defeat and it is very difficult for other teams to compete with Madrid. they will get what they want, including great players for their front line in the upcoming transfer window. they are just waiting.

The match between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad is definitely going to be important for Atletico Madrid. Because they would like to get ahead of Girona on the point table. If they can win the next match against Real Sociedad, they will be able to go ahead to the third position of the table right behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. And that's the spot where they would want to be if they want to give good competition to both the teams for the La Liga title.

Right now, the match between Atletico Madrid and Feyenoord is going on. The match has been pretty crazy so far. Atletico Madrid is ahead in this game. The score is 3–2 in favour of Atletico Madrid. 79 minutes have been played in this match.

Playing at home, at least makes Atletico quite a favorite in the next match in La Liga. So yes, because they are both in impressive performance at this moment, then of course Real Sociedad will also have a chance to be able to get points in this away match . But yes, if I consider their head to head results then I think Atletico will still be difficult for Real Sociedad to beat. But even so, that doesn't mean Atletico will win because after all, at least Real Sociedad also still has enough records not to be defeated by Atletico and that is to hold Atletico to a draw.

[Leviathan.007]

Real Madrid are doing just fine in the La Liga this season. We can call this as Bellingham effect also in my opinion. Because since the day he joined the team he has been performing amazingly. Even in Vinicius Junior's absence Bellingham was carrying the team with a big level of contribution with goals. He has been like the main striker of the team. 

Today Real Madrid are going to play a really tough match against Napoli away in the Champions League. It is a quite challenging one for Real Madrid maybe but I expect them to show a solid performance.

While Vinicius and Bellingham are both on the pitch Real Madrid would be really deadly in the attacking line.

Bellingham's performance is still snowballing into the UCL too. It was also helping real madrid to win the game even against napoli away. What a surprise. Napoli was leading the match first after it was scoring its first goal and then real madrid was just surpassing it at the end of game.
Real madrid is such a true winner caused by it has winner mentality unlike another club. The performance from real madrid never makes me feel doubt about that. Im feeling so amazing by seeing how good the performance from real madrid is.
I can't even imagine if real madrid will able to win three trophies in a row this season. It will be a very good movement from bellingham caused by he was always being trophyless in the dortmund.
Real madrid is leading the top position now with 6 points collected from two matches in UCL. The best performance. Bellingham never disappointed me as a fan. What a perfect result from madrid.

Bellingham had a good performance in Real Madrid in the games we saw from him so far but the fact about Bellingham's performance and some other younger players in Real Madrid is about the situation of other players there.
Luka Modrić has been playing there for years and he has many achievements with Real Madrid, but there is some news about Luka Modrić being unhappy in Real Madrid and there is even the possibility for this experienced player to leave Real Madrid because of that.

Haha that was an impressive comeback from Atletico Madrid no one is truly safe when playing against Atletico as the away team, even though Cadiz led from the 12 minute but they forgot that there were still around 65 minutes left in the match and Atletico Madrid was able to take advantage of it by scoring 3 goals.

Yes, maybe from experience Atletico Madrid has more and is better than Cadiz. Apart from that, if you look at the H2H statistics, Atletico Madrid has more wins than Cadiz. Well, it's true that Atletico can win against this club even though they are behind.
But behind all that, it is admitted that Cadiz's performance was quite good in providing resistance.

Finally, Real Madrid leads the standings again after winning against Girona. Girona played quite well, but Real Madrid was superior. Score 0-3 was the end of their match.

This could be very good for Girona to win this game against Real Madrid and this could be definitely a dream for them to do that. Because Girona got good results so far and they are still in their place on the table which is not bad for them at all when we know even Atletico Madrid couldn't perform well like Girona.

Yes, it cannot be denied that Girona's performance was quite good in providing resistance to Real Madrid. But unfortunately, their execution was not very good, so even though they had many opportunities to attack, they were not able to end it by scoring a goal. Not only that, on the other hand, Real Madrid also has strong defenders so it is quite difficult for Girona to score goals. Yes, of course beating every opponent in every match is the hope of all clubs, including Girona. But here, when playing against Real Madrid, they still couldn't make it happen.

On top of that they have turned this game around against Feyenoord and Atletico Madrid was brutally efficient! 3 shots on target, 3 goals! But this is how they are. Feyenoord played so well given that they had to go to the Atletico Madrid stadium and I agree with you guys that no team likes to play there. With this game against Feyenoord in their heads, I have no doubt that Atletico Madrid feels ready to take on the challenge with Real Sociedad. It will be difficult, but there are days when Atletico can also fall.

Real Madrid's match with Napoli actually both looked impressive in terms of possession of the ball even though Real Madrid had taken the lead early in the first half and in the second half Real Madrid greatly benefited from an own goal from a Napoli player, making Real Madrid win the match. In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been ahead of its rivals and is in first place after beating Girona at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi without reply.

I thought Real Madrid would lose to Napoli in that match when I saw Napoli playing better in building attacks, but apparently I was wrong because in the end Napoli lost 2-3 to Real Madrid. Valverde almost registered his name as the Champions League's best goal scorer in the second match, but unfortunately it was an own goal. Maybe it's not that important because the most important thing is winning.

For the second group stage match, 4 of the 5 La Liga representatives managed to win. Only Sevilla failed to win as they drew 2-2 against PSV. Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona managed to win in their respective matches and these 4 teams have led the group standings. For this week's La Liga matches, nothing seems too difficult except for Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad, but there is the possibility of a surprising match.

I don't expect Napoli to record victory against a La Liga team like Real Madrid, they are yet to reach such positions with Los Blancos this season. Carlo Ancelotti is here to win significant trophies at Santiago Bernabeu. I can't never lose confidence in  Real Madrid when it comes to UCL football, experience circulates in the club, from the coach to the players who are defined on different spirit when the supporters sings their songs. Napoli did attempted to levelled a draw tie against Los Blancos but couldn't hold on for long because Real Madrid have pressure and they constantly invaded the Naples territory.

Predicting this match and expecting Napoli to win the game was not something we could ever see from Napoli. We know Napoli is not performing well after they lost their coach and started working with Rudi Garcia. because this Napoli we see is not the same as the last season while Real Madrid had a good team and they are even getting stronger time after time, which is a reason to say a team like Napoli can never have a chance against Real Madrid.

If you look at the statistics of the game, Napoli were superior because they managed to control the ball well, but unfortunately they still lost even though it was only one goal difference. This shows that Napoli's strength is actually on par with Real Madrid, and it could be said that Napoli is a worthy opponent with Real's strength. Madrid. Hopefully, Napoli will still have the opportunity to meet Real Madrid again so they can avenge the defeat they received in yesterday's match.

It's time for modric to get the fuck out from real madrid. He will find a better place for him. Madrid will not extend his contract anymore. Being unhappy caused by getting less regular time to play is a common thing but it's his choice to stay in the real madrid even longer than before.
Modric needs to be aware of his own condition. The team will be slowly leaving him alone. There's no need to stay even longer in the real madrid. Real madrid is now putting all of its focus into the regenerating its player.
It's also modric's fault. It's caused by he was not even considering the future of himself in real madrid. He is not getting what he deserved. Real madrid will not need an old player anymore.
Everything is still remain so good for the club without him. Modric should understand it since he was a senior player in the club.

Real Madrid isn't a perfect team that will always be better in possession in every game they play but the ability to win in games they didn't have more of possession of the ball is a true testament that the club is always resilient in their bid to always win.
Their performance against Napoli was nothing short of good and I think they deserves to be praised than to be reminded of their shortcomings as a club. It's not an easy task task to go to the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Naples and a pick all three points from the game.

[Leviathan.007]

The sad thing for Barcelona to makes this team a little bit worried about the next game against other teams in La Liga is about their effective forward, Lewandowski. In the game against Porto, tonight in the Champions League, Lewandowski got injured, and according to some news about this team, Lewandowski got inured against Proto in 34 minutes of the game and he couldn't continue, maybe this is enough for Xavi to be worried.

agree with your opinion It is true that Real Madrid was the better team in last night's match, and Bellingham's performance should be appreciated. His impressive performance, even though he is a new player on the team, shows the great potential he has.
and of course Napoli's new coach needs time to influence the team optimally. Sometimes, adapting the best players from previous seasons can be a challenge,

Real Madrid's match with Napoli actually both looked impressive in terms of possession of the ball even though Real Madrid had taken the lead early in the first half and in the second half Real Madrid greatly benefited from an own goal from a Napoli player, making Real Madrid win the match. In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been ahead of its rivals and is in first place after beating Girona at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi without reply.

It is true that Real Madrid are quite impressive after the signing of Jude Bellingham. They get the extra bost in the attack position. After the departure of Kareem Banzema and the absence of Vinices Junior due to injury a bit earlier, Real Madrid were lacking in attack due to the loss of their key players, but when Jude Bellingham arrived, he covered up all the shortcomings in attack position with quite an impressive and dominating performance. Jude Bellingham is one of the greatest players in the young generation. He has so many qualities and needs time to prove himself. It will be very good for Real Madrid to keep him for the long term by making his club loyalty long-lived because, currently, Jude Bellingham is the only player whose performance really meets the requirements of real Madrid performance.
In my opinion, Jude Bellingham's signing will be a blockbuster like Cristiano Ronaldo's because he is so young and has the ability to win more trophies. Be it individual or club-wise,

Hopefully, Napoli will still have the opportunity to meet Real Madrid again so they can avenge the defeat they received in yesterday's match.

Yes, their strengths were quite equal in that match, another reason being that Napoli played at home, so the support from the supporters made them more enthusiastic in forming a more solid game in that match. Napoli is not a weak team, they are very strong with many quality players in their squad, but Real Madrid is certainly not an easy team to beat in the Champions League because they are kings in the Champions League.

There is definitely an opportunity for Napoli to take revenge for this defeat. Because Napoli will compete at the Bernabeu stadium when they face Real Madrid in the upcoming match. I doubt Napoli will be able to get their revenge by beating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu stadium.

Indeed, an own goal made Real Madrid secure 3 points in that match. But in terms of game, Real Madrid were able to balance the game quite well in that match because Real Madrid were able to make 18 shots in that match. So you can imagine the strength of Real Madrid when playing at home will definitely be stronger and I'm sure Napoli will not be able to avenge this defeat.

Good results for Spanish federation in  the games from Champions League, dont forget its important to score points for the overall table so you can gain more spots in europe, in the case of Spanish is only to preserve what they have, but still important to collect points.

Modric needs to be aware of his own condition. The team will be slowly leaving him alone. There's no need to stay even longer in the real madrid. Real madrid is now putting all of its focus into the regenerating its player.
It's also modric's fault. It's caused by he was not even considering the future of himself in real madrid. He is not getting what he deserved. Real madrid will not need an old player anymore.
Everything is still remain so good for the club without him. Modric should understand it since he was a senior player in the club.

It does seem like you've got a personal beef for Luka Modric, He will leave Real Madrid for sure one day, bit before that one day, let's give him his flowers for the way he helped support those youngsters boss that midfied against Napoli.
As far as I'm concerned, Modric remain a core member of Real Madrid, he is not to be left out when you line up the list of experienced players.
Next season, he'll finally get to leave the squad, Both parties are doing what's best for the club. Modric most definitely will leave for a Saudi Arabian side.

And about a perfect replacement for Luka Modric! I ain't see no one yet to lace his boots in Real Madrid. Complete Legend.

Nacho has been suspended for 3 matches for dangerous behavior that affects the career of the fouled player. Having received a direct red card after a harsh tackle on Portu in the 3-0 win over Girona last weekend, the Real Madrid captain was heavily fined by the Spanish Football Federation. For his part, Nacho also posted an apology to this player on social networks. Fortunately, Girona striker Portu only suffered a minor injury. With this penalty, Nacho will miss the next 3 matches in La Liga against Osasuna, Sevilla, and Barcelona. Losing Nacho is a significant loss for Real Madrid because this defender plays an essential role in the defense and is also the leader of the team. Most significantly, he will miss the first Super Classic match this season with Barcelona. Real Madrid's arch-rival.
