La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[fuguebtc]

I think Real Sociedad's chances of winning this match are very big, especially since they are playing at home, and currently Real Sociedad's performance is very good and now Real Sociedad is in 6th place in the La Liga standings.
And Mallorca is a team that is clearly below Real Sociedad in terms of quality, so far Mallorca have only been able to win once in the 9 matches they have played.
So I have no doubts about Real Sociedad's victory in this match and I even predict that this will be an easy win for Real Sociedad.

It might be quite easy to win for Real Sociedad, but it might only be a very small score because of the results of the meetings between these two teams in several matches that have passed in previous seasons. Real Sociedad very rarely wins by a lot of scores against Mallorca and could even possibly draw if Mallorca is able to create a better game at home to Real Sociedad. However, I still have more confidence in Real Sociedad's performance in that match because Real Sociedad will not let Mallorca win or draw at the Reale Arena.

The small score is okay, the most important thing is that Real Sociedad gets all three points in the game. Real Sociedad has the upper hand of winning Mallorca because they are stronger than Mallorca and they will also the playing at home, which is an additional advantage for them.

Mallorca might try their best from stopping Real Sociedad from gaining all three point by drawing the match, and this is if Real Sociedad underestimate Mallorca, it might even become a win for Mallorca. I don't think is will be that easy for Mallorca to win but it is possible for a draw. I will place my bet on Real Sociedad because they are the strongest in this match.

Mallorca has been showing pretty mediocre performance in recent times. Having only one win in the last five matches is definitely not good enough.  But on the other hand Real Sociedad is in good form. At least compared to their opponent going into this match.  They have three wins in the last five matches and even though they actually lost the last match, I will say that they will have a better performance going into this match against Mallorca. Honestly, Real Sociedad has a chance to get further ahead on the points table. I actually want them to grab that opportunity and make sure that they get three points from this match.

Thankfully his injury wasn't a long term one, so I am assuming that him coming back shouldn't really take all that much of a long term, it could end up being ok on the first time he plays, doesn't seem like it has been long enough for him to lose that much shape, he could score right of the bat.

I saw some reports that said Lewandoski will be back before Barcelona's game against Donetsk. I don't know how true that is but I believe it's true. Lewandoski's injury wasn't a very serious one so he might miss only 2 games at most which are the Bilbao game their first leg against Donetsk.
Barcelona has players like Pedri, Yamal, and Balde coming back from injuries after the international break. Although players like Raphinha, Frenkie, and Lewandoski are still injured, this should be a consolation to them for the main time.

Lewandoski and Frenkie might come back before El Classico but then Frenkie would be rushed back which is not a very good thing for the kind of injury he has. It would be better if they lose the match than have a relapse in his recovery.

Recently medical team of Barcelona has been predict about Lewandowski injured duration and they said Lewandowski will absense at least until end of this month and most likely when Barcelona fight at El Classico against Real Madrid Lewandowski also will absense which mean Lewandowski will be absense when Barcelona against Bilbao this weekend and Donetsk at champion league and Xavi currently have not much option to replace Lewandowski position and the player just like Ferran Torres indeed can be played as centre striker but in the term of productivity obviously Leeandowski much better than Torres and actually if Raphinha didn't got injured he is suitable as the replacement of Lewandowski but unfortunately Raphinha condition also is still uncertain and the latest update is Lamine Yamal also confirmed got injured too but hopefully he will he recover soon and will be available for upcoming matches

[Sebas.tian]

In the last five El Clasico matches, the home team is not always the winning team because in their last encounter, Barcelona won four and three of these wins were at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real Madrid won one, which was the Copa del Ray, at Camp Nou. This shows that the match is always unpredictable because your home may not favour you unless you played very well.

Yes, it is true that predictions will be difficult for all parties to guess, they are just guessing at their respective champions. This depends on the coach in fielding the best squad and there must be cohesion within the team. Indeed, if you look at the statistics for the 2023 meeting, Barcelona is far ahead of Real Madrid, Barcelona won 4 matches in various leagues. Copa League, Copa Del Rey etc. There are several Barcelona players who are injured, R Lewandowski and other players. Here the medical team pays attention to the condition of each player, if the player is fit, it is likely that Lewandowski will play in the match later. Moreover, competing later at home, this will provide additional encouragement for the team.

Barcelona started this season well that is giving people joy to continue to predict for their favour, but they changed recently that made their performance and points to drop down because there are some of their players who are experiencing injuries. I believe , Barcelona coach is a potential coach and he will definitely help the team to create some opportunity that will make them to take over the first position to stand in a good chance to win the la Liga league title. I don't think, the absence of other Players will make Barcelona to lose in this match because they still have talented players that can handle those positions positively until they recover from their injuries.

Xavi has indeed been quite successful in improving the performance of the Barcelona team since his arrival, this team has continued to improve for the better.
And this season is also the same, Barcelona's performance is actually good, it's just that they are less consistent.
But we can't talk about winning first, it's still too early and their rivals Real Madrid are much stronger this season so it's possible that there will be quite fierce competition this season in the race for the title.

And now the Barcelona team is being hit by a lot of problems, there are several of their main players who are injured and this will of course make the team's strength decrease, especially in the next few weeks Barcelona will play the El Clasicco match against Real Madrid, the Barcelona team will be very disadvantaged if The main players are still injured, such as Lewandowski, who is a mainstay on Barcelona's front line.

[Hirose UK]

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.

When an elite team like Barcelona depend on just a main attacker, though they have other frontlines but they're mere backup and can't suit in the right positions. Robert Lewandowski might not have been in good form this season but there's a whole lot of things that have made the present Barca top striker, reluctant in Camp Nou. He's in the present of new signings and these players are optimistic about themselves and keen on good results. Lewandowski ensures he returns back to the team before El Clasico emerges, we know how important this game is for the Poland International, he ensured he's present for tougher games.

If say that Barcelona only focuses and relies on one front line player that seems true because when Lewandowski was still playing all the players looked more enthusiastic and confident that they could win every match.
But it was different when Lewandowski was injured and had to be absent from several matches all the players tended to be less enthusiastic even Xavi as the coach was confused about how to fill the void left by Lewandowski and he needed to change many playing strategies and players to create strong game without Lewandowski presence.

If you look at all the players that Barcelona has there are actually lot of attacking players available but they can't be like Lewandowski and of course this makes Barcelona have to put in little extra performance to be able to perform optimally in every match.
Lewandowski did say he could appear before the match against Real Madrid but the doctor who treated Lewandowski injury said perhaps the injury he experienced could take longer than he expected.

But until now we can only hope that Lewandowski will really recover and be able to appear in El Clasico because we want to see the strength of both teams and want to see really hot match.

[rendravolt]

Lewandowski's situation is not the only thing for Xavi to be worried about it. Even if Lewandowski gets in the good form to play in the game against Real Madrid, still, Sergi Roberto is still injured in Barcelona during pieces of training and he can't play in the game against Athletic Bilbao I think Xavi will have harder days in the next weeks because of the injured player he got before the game against Real Madrid which an important match for them.



https://www.beinsports.com/en-us/soccer/la-liga/articles/barcelona-dealt-further-setback-by-sergi-roberto-injury-2023-10-18

Sergi Roberto is not only a right-back but he is also Barcelona's main captain and his experience will certainly still be needed, especially ahead of the El Classico match. His role is expected to help in maintaining the team's defense. If you look at the data from Transfermarkt, there are 7 Barcelona players who are currently injured and 3 of them play as defenders. It must be very difficult as Xavi who has to be able to rotate his players before the big match starts.

Xavi doesn't have many options and I think all his players will play 90 minutes without any substitutions. Barcelona's situation is less favorable but this can also be balanced by the injuries suffered by several Real Madrid players. So the El Classico match will still be exciting with its respective shortcomings.

[Litzki1990]

Jude Bellingham, the new wonderkid in Real Madrid have stated an open statement regarding how he has improved 100% in performance since joining Los Blancos this summer. He's more stationed as a versatile player that's capable of handling any roles given to him by the headcoach. He's regarded as the best signing in the transfer window this season, always available to contributes to the success of Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Carlo Ancelotti have really impacted a positive high quality on the englishman, besides he's still young but having him play in significant roles have made him an experience and balanced player.

One of the most successful transfers in this transfer window is the transfer of Jude Bellingham. If you are not a Real Madrid fan then you are bound to become a Real Madrid fan because of all these reasons. Jude Bellingham has been heavily rumored to be coming to Real Madrid but we haven't heard as much as there has been about Mbappe and Real Madrid's deal. Although there was no big buzz, Real Madrid suddenly completed the contract with this midfielder. 

Jude Bellingham joined Real Madrid as a midfielder but he became a striker at Real Madrid. He is scoring brilliantly in every match and leading the team to victory. At the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, we heard Jude Bellingham's praises and chants from Real Madrid fans at most matches. 

Real Madrid has brought this player in long term planning team and believe in Real Madrid Real Madrid will transform this player into one of the best players.

Lewandowski is expected to return in a week from his injury. But for his full recovery he might need some more time maybe. If he returns on the speculated date then there are going to be only two days remaining for the El Clasico ahead. It is one of the most critical games of the season for Barcelona so they need each one of their best players.

If Lewandowski doesn't become good enough to be in the starting eleven then I assume we would see Felix playing in his position. I hope Xavi doesn't prefer Torres in the centre-forward position in that big game because it is meaningless. Felix is a natural striker while Torres is a natural winger.

I don't think Lewandowski's injury will keep him out for a long period of time, and even if he didn't return in time, I don't think Barcelona would have any problems this season because they have players who can fill Lewandowski's role. Felix can also fill that role, and I think Barcelona still has a winger who can make the team's performance look strong. before the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona The encounter will likely be quite difficult since I think Barcelona will be fully prepared.

I am unable to predict the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid because Real Madrid also has new players who can perform well this season and even help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona. Players like Bellingham and Arda Guler will play in that game, and I believe that they will help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona. Despite the fact that Barcelona is familiar with how to play Real Madrid in every game, I believe this season's matchup will be different because of the new players.

With the absence of Lewandowski this season, it certainly has a bad impact on Barcelona even though there are still those who can replace Lewandowski's role, this is not necessarily good, as much as possible must be able to play optimally especially with the upcoming matches, one of which against Real Madrid, of course this is a big match and everyone knows that Real Madrid is strong this season with the presence of young players who make them strong on the front lines, in my opinion this will be tough for Barcelona against Real Madrid.

With Real Madrid being strong this season, with young players Bellingham and Arda guler strengthening Real Madrid who are currently stars in soccer, Barcelona must prepare a maximum game against Real Madrid in the absence of Lewandowski this season, although Barcelona is famous for its beautiful game in organizing strategies but maybe against Real Madrid at this time it will be difficult. Xavi must be able to organize a strategy for Barcelona to replace Lewandowski's role with a good player on the front lines, and strengthen the defender to prevent young Real Madrid players.

Well I hope he can recover in time. Because watching an El Classico match with a club without its flagship player will definitely be unpleasant. Although currently there is Joao Felix who can be a striker that Barcelona can rely on. But still he will not be able to replace Lewandowski's important position. Without Lewandowski we can see Barcelona's attacking power decrease slightly. For example, in the match against Granada.

But Lewandowski himself seems confident that he can recover more quickly and be able to take part in the important match against Real Madrid. But if his condition does not recover according to his expectations. So he also said that he would not force himself.

Barcelona current position is very worrying as the El Classico match approaches, the condition of the players is deteriorating because of the cedar players and some fans are certainly very worried about this, but most people still believe in Xavi if he will have a wiser strategy to defend without conceding. maybe with a defensive formation Xavi can feel a little more secure. on the one hand, currently several players are injured, but if I look at Sergi Roberto, maybe he has a muscle injury, but I really hope he will recover quickly before the match starts and there will be tight competition which will be quite interesting to watch and if Barcelona situation is like this, it will be difficult to watch. see competitive rivalry.

It's quite unpleasant indeed when the fight can be damaged due to a player's injury, especially since he is a player who has a very important role at the club, and there has been no news that the injured Barcelona players, namely Robert Lewandowski and Pedri, will soon be playing for Barca so that during the El Clasico match later making it difficult for Barcelona to achieve victory.
Playing with a defensive strategy and doing counter-attacking could be successful, but Real Madrid is a team that is quite strong in attack and defense and has only conceded 6 goals in nine matches and is the team with the fewest goals conceded so far.
Xavi is quite a smart coach and he will be facing a more experienced coach and this match is a battle of strategy as to who is the right one who will win but the match ending goalless is very possible and it becomes less interesting.

He's in the present of new signings and these players are optimistic about themselves and keen on good results. Lewandowski ensures he returns back to the team before El Clasico emerges, we know how important this game is for the Poland International, he ensured he's present for tougher games.

I read it a few days ago, when Barcelona issued a statement regarding Lewandowski's injury. this Polish player even said that he wanted to make sure he appeared in the El Clasico match. which means, this match is very important for all Barcelona players and also the Don Carlo squad. Not only that, the El Clasico match will always be awaited by football fans, not only the supporters of both teams. unfortunately, all decisions are in Xavi's hands. He said that he did not want to take risks even if Lewandowski had recovered from his injury.  ideally, he is completely fit.
Not only that, several of Barcelona's core players are still absent for at least an undetermined amount of time. De Jong, Kounde, the schedule for returning to the field is not yet certain. Meanwhile, Raphinha is scheduled to return on November 1 and Pedri on October 24. Likewise with Lewandowski's status, his status cannot be confirmed. So, we can see that currently Barcelona is again hit by injuries to its core players.

Even though Xavi actually has a replacement option, the absence of a center striker is quite risky. Honestly, as a Barcelona fan I really doubt Ferran Torres' consistency. although in fact, Joao Felix could replace Lewandowski temporarily. It's just that the El Clasico match is not an easy match. although, the match will be held at Camp Nou.  Playing in front of the public itself can provide strong motivation. However, Lewandowski's absence will make things difficult for Barcelona. This Polish player is not only skilled at scoring goals, even though his performance this season is not very good. However, he can give instructions according to his experience to his colleagues in the field. Anyway, there is no other way but to wait for further developments.

Barcelona just aren't as good this season as they were last season... We have to recognise this fact, although everyone thought that Real would play much worse after the big changes in their club, for example after Benzema left, but Real didn't play worse and are in first place in La Liga... I think they will be champions this year...

[Ahli38]

In the last five El Clasico matches, the home team is not always the winning team because in their last encounter, Barcelona won four and three of these wins were at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Real Madrid won one, which was the Copa del Ray, at Camp Nou. This shows that the match is always unpredictable because your home may not favour you unless you played very well.

Yes, it is true that predictions will be difficult for all parties to guess, they are just guessing at their respective champions.

Moreover, competing later at home, this will provide additional encouragement for the team.

In an El Classico match getting a position as the home team will mean absolutely nothing. Because as we know, wherever the El Classico match is held, the match will still be difficult to predict. But Barcelona is currently actually in a more disadvantageous position. Because several of Barcelona's core players are hampered by injuries. Like R. Lewandowski, Frenkie de Jong, Dan J. Kounde and others. But it is reported that R.Lewandowski and De Jong can recover quickly and can be expected to be able to play in an important match for Barcelona, ​​namely against Real Madrid. But still, players who have just recovered from injury will definitely not be able to return to playing optimally straight away. But despite this, Barcelona's performance is still good until now. It's just that Real Madrid's current performance can be said to be in better condition. Maybe my prediction will be more in favor of Real Madrid this time.

[uswa56]

We have to recognise this fact, although everyone thought that Real would play much worse after the big changes in their club, for example after Benzema left, but Real didn't play worse and are in first place in La Liga... I think they will be champions this year...

At the moment it is still too early to compare, in fact I think Barcelona and Real Madrid are both developing for the better this season, in terms of team strength the two are not much different, it's just that the consistency of these two teams is still in question.

It's quite unpleasant indeed when the fight can be damaged due to a player's injury, especially since he is a player who has a very important role at the club, and there has been no news that the injured Barcelona players, namely Robert Lewandowski and Pedri, will soon be playing for Barca so that during the El Clasico match later making it difficult for Barcelona to achieve victory.

In the last few matches, Real Madrid's performance has been very good, so this will be a threat to Barcelona in the El Clasico match later because the Barcelona team is having a lot of problems and they have not been consistent in the last few matches, but Robert Lewandowski and Pedri have had a few injuries. found clarity because it was rumored that Robert Lewandowski and Pedri had great potential to defend Barcelona in the El Clasico match later.

Relying on one key striker can make the team vulnerable, especially if that player faces an injury like Lewandowski experienced yesterday which will cause problems with the club's performance.
Xavi must be able to help balance the performance and resilience of the team as a whole and it is important for the coach to utilize the strengths other players and ensure consistent results against various challenges and not just rely on one key player.
and yes, even though Lewandowski is the star player that Barcelona currently has and his presence for the El Clasico match is very important for Barcelona, he is also a little worried because Lewandowski has just recovered from his injury and is worried that he will experience a decline in performance considering that he is not young anymore and If Lewandowski is not able to maintain his condition well, he will often suffer injuries and this will greatly affect his career in football.

Xavi didn't rely on one player to win the match, but Lewandowski was the player who actually played a role in scoring the goal. Lewandowski in recent matches has not been in the best form like last season, but other players Joao Felix, Joao Cancelo and his midfielders can provide the difference that allows Barcelona to avoid defeat.

Lewandowski is the only center forward that Barcelona currently has, of course the team's performance is disrupted when he is absent because Xavi has to play a different strategy so that the team's performance is stable. However, the impact on the game and overall plan will be different between having Lewandowski in the main line-up and not having him. I hope his injury heals as expected and he can take part in the upcoming El Clasico.

This is a reliability that Xavi has, always keeping the rotation of players stable with good performance, even though some players do not perform strongly, but the results obtained are still very satisfying.
What you say is also very true because in fact Barcelona players work together solidly without relying on one another and we often see collaboration between Lewandowski, Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo which results in goals and brings home victory.
Currently, perhaps Xavi is resting Lewandowski more often because he has a minor injury and Xavi as a coach really pays attention to whatever happens to his players to maintain their physical appearance so they can appear healthy and continue their career helping the club win.

[piebeyb]

Xavi doesn't have many options and I think all his players will play 90 minutes without any substitutions. Barcelona's situation is less favorable but this can also be balanced by the injuries suffered by several Real Madrid players. So the El Classico match will still be exciting with its respective shortcomings.

There is no other way for Xavi other than using the existing players, as well as Madrid in the Elclasico match, they will definitely show their best game regardless of there being several key players who don't play there, we also can't measure every club's strength when several key players are absent from both of them, which doesn't mean they didn't play well, Xavi can definitely make Barcelona perform well.

I don't think that this is a big match because it's still early in the season even though one of them will lose it won't have a bad influence and impact on their current position in the standings, I just think they seem to be playing their best game to the maximum because this match is a match prestigious that they must win.

Barcelona has serious matches ahead of it. For example, they will play in Champions League matches and Lewandowski is a very important star player for these matches. It is acceptable to leave him on the bench or not take him into the game to help him recover from his injury. They need him in other important matches. Also, a great player like Joao Felix can close that gap.
