La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[KTChampions]

Xavi was lucky to win La Liga (due to the crisis in Real Madrid) but, for example, Barcelona have terrible results in European cups. If we were not talking about a top club with big ambitions, then average results would be acceptable, but Barcelona, despite the financial crisis and the scandal with bribery of referees that continues to develop, still considers itself a top club, so they need better results. At some point, Xavi may be fired due to results or simply because Xavi still hasn't proven that he has a high level of competence.

Barcelona been crowned champions of La Liga last season due to the credibility and an easy one with outstanding performance. Though things was a little bit rough for the Blaugrana but they buckle up and face the reality of game. They're ambitious and triggers the best results. Talking about Xavi Hernandez been fired by Barcelona board this season, ofcourse it's impossible because the Barca legend have grown to become a top experienced coach with incredible abilities on his squad.  Xavi is competent enough to handle the tough tasks coming his way this season.

You definitely didn’t watch last season (a lot of victories with a minimum score, in the last minutes, etc.) and write some kind of fiction. Barcelona became champions against the backdrop of a crisis in Atletico and a transitional season in Real (which became such due to Mbappe's liar and Benzema's injuries). As for Xavi, his coaching decisions + - as in the season before last, he has not yet proven anything at all.

Well last season Realmadrid had a better squad than Barcelona even a very good defence line, they even got more financial advantage than Barcelona but Xavi tried to perform well with the squad he got and won the league trophy, though his performance in the UCL last Season was nothing to talk about but he really tried to win the league and that should be acknowledged because even with a better squad Madrid couldn't win it last year.

 If not for the financial Crisis they're facing that's making them to cut cost and come up with loan deals to get players Barcelona would had been able to sign top players that would make them very strong, if you noticed some of their players are home grown upon that they still managed to win the league, one thing I like about Xavi is that he knows the right players that suit his club and goes for them.

I guess that this is also what's going to happen. Real Madrid would never sell him if they don't have to and unless he turns into some greedy Mbappe kind of guy, I don't think he will ever consider leaving Real Madrid. Maybe towards the end of his career, but I think he knows that he has an amazing future ahead of him and he can become someone like Zidane in his prime for the whole club. Just think about the story this guy can write if he plays for Real Madrid for the next 1.5 decades and becomes better and more important to the team than he already is. His world class career has just begun.

I think this is one of the wisest decision Bellingham will make to remain in a league for a consecutively 10 years. That kind of consistency will help me a lot to stabilize and go a long way in the team. It will give the player the much needed control and experience to play with top La Liga club, Barcelona and other leagues, especially when it comes to the UCL.

I have the feeling that if he will position himself, he can do better than Cristiano Ronaldo  in terms of performance considering his age now and the records he's working towards with the team. Jude Bellingham is one of my most admired players of the year. He has done exceptionally well.

And this would also guarantee that he is the one who will be known for a new Real Madrid era. Big personalities like Kroos and Modric will soon leave and he is the one who really is the best. Vinicius Junior would have to become better at scoring, but he is of course also at the very top of world football. Now this would become more exciting if Mbappe joined those players. I think they are already among the top three teams in the world given the shape they are in, but Mbappe would improve the team by a lot because he brings in some extra quality that is still stronger than what Vinicius Junior has.

Hey guys with the recent play in Spanish la Liga which team right now do you think is going to win the Spanish la Liga. In terms of playing real Madrid and Athletico Madrid has been doing very well this period. And although Barcelona has not been doing too badly I think they don't have a chance currently but they may still pick form before the season runs out.

But right now I would say real Madrid has been the best team and they have the players that would really help them win the league. They also have the Coach to really also do well in the league and also in the UEFA champions league

For now, I personally believe that Real Madrid have a chance to get the La Liga trophy. Maybe not only that, because if Bellingham is not injured throughout this season, then I believe Real Madrid have a chance to get the treble winner. Maybe, for some people the assessment could be an excessive assessment but for me, there is nothing wrong if I have such an assessment. Because after all, I really recognize the great potential that Bellinghan has this moment, because it looks like Bellingham will succeed in providing a great achievement for Real Madrid this season. Because after all at the same time, basically Real Madrid also still has other great players in the Real Madrid squad this moment. So yes, with so many great players available in the Real Madrid squad, then of course that factor can be a strong push for Real Madrid to get a lot of trophies this season.

Saying that real Madrid's Chance of winning the la Liga has so much dependency on Bellingham will be a too partial judgement as I think Madrid still have good players who can help them achieve that even if Bellingham happens to be injured before the league ends, Madrid also have good tactics and have won games in the absence of Bellingham when he was injured.

He is now an injury prone player and may most likely get injured again that's why it's important they get some players in this January transfer window, so they can always have good substitute Incase the need arises but then it wouldn't be very okay to solely depend on him even though he has a very good potential to thrive and become a very good player for Madrid and himself.

I think Real Madrid's squad is better than other teams. Real Madrid's success cannot be attributed to a single player. There are always alternative players in the squad. That's why Real Madrid is a team that can produce an alternative even if Bellingham is injured.

I feel that Real Madrid will win the league championship this season. I think they have formed a good team, both in terms of play and squad quality. I can say that the only thing missing is the absence of a star striker. I hope they solve this problem during the transfer period.

Addition to what you've said, all four fixtures against Real Madrid and Barcelona won them all. It was another amazing season for Barcelona. Still, I'm rooting for Barcelona to win La Liga once again this season. They've still faced injures and financial challenges but all that won't matter once they win the league for the second time.

With financial challenges, they've attracted players with higher qualities to level them performance on the pitch. Injuries have to be Barcelona's biggest challenge this season.

Xavi Hernandez has made a good start this season, it's time he gets some improvements done on the Champions League, Barcelona has the players that will enable them winning the Champions League at the end of this season. It's time enough he blends his squad together.

tomorrow, Sevilla are the hosts and on paper Madrid are the favorites to win, Sevilla is currently in 14th position in the standings and has lost 4 times, the issue is that Sergio Ramos will appear in the match against Madrid, he will definitely try hard to beat his former team.

But the team that has really surprised me so far is Girona, their journey to being in 2nd place in the current standings has been very smooth, with 1 loss and 1 draw, Girona will face Almeria tomorrow, it looks like Girona will win that match.

[marcous]

I have to admit Xavi performance in this case, he was able to show his loyalty to Barcelona. Its success in dominating La Liga last season in the midst of a financial crisis deserves appreciation, an achievement that Madrid failed to achieve despite having fairly stable finances. Currently, Xavi is again being asked to bring Barcelona to defend the La Liga trophy from eternal rivals Real Madrid, and is trying to have more say in the European Champions League. The addition of Joao Felic and Cancelo has had a good impact on Xavi squad, I am waiting for their action in the EL Clasico match later. I think if both of them continue to play well, there is no harm in making them permanent next season.

Xavi foresight in seeing young talent at the La Masia academy is cool, Yamal has so far been able to answer the trust given by Xavi. The steps taken by Xavi were very good to save costs, by recruiting young players from the club academy. However, we also realize that Madrid this season is quite promising, Barcelona can no longer waste points by playing a draw.

I think is a bit early to predict which team will take home the Laliga trophy this season. You know why? The league games haven't gone very far, therefore it's difficult to predict which team will win the Laliga trophy of 2023/2024. But based on your question, whose team do we think will win the Laliga title this season? ''Real Madrid or Barcelona,'' is my choice of team to do that

I'm going with both teams because they stand a better chance than any other Laliga squad of winning the league's trophy. Second, they have won the Laliga the trophy more often than any other team.

[bitgolden]

The absence of Lewandowski has contributed to their drop in point cause they're not scoring much goal like they should, however the team is still balance due to the presence of João Félix, Torres and Yamal especially Félix who's been very outstanding since he arrived on a loan deal to Barcelona, currently Torres is the top 9  for the club due to Lewandowski's absence, he's a good player but not as better as Lewandowski cause he misses chances often.

 That's a good news for Barcelona cause without lewandowski in the El Classico they could lose to Realmadrid but his presence could give them a boost to score goals and get a draw or win against the very inform Realmadrid that are currently the best performing team in the Laliga currently, I can't wait for the El Clasico this season cause it going to be one of the most interesting.

I mean when you rely on a single player to carry your scoring load, this type of problem is bound to happen. Think about the old days of Barcelona, Messi was the player that scored one of the highest numbers of scoring per year on year by year basis, and that is of course what made them so great, Barcelona never got the hang of sharing the ball because of that, they keep on looking for someone to score, they are great at passing the ball and keeping the possession and they can do their best not to get scored on as well, a great pressure to get the ball back, but when it comes to scoring they do not really have a solution to that, they just pass and pass, so Lewandowski was the solution they had but he was gone during this time.

[SUPERSAIAN]

This upcoming match will be one of the most exciting El-Clasico I've been waiting for. The absence of Lewandowski is a big negative and even makes it less likely to win because Barcelona lost a lot of points in La Liga without Lewandowski. İlkay Gündoğan has balanced the midfield of the team very much. In my opinion, he is more compatible with Barcelona compared to Manchester City's game plan and this will improve. Another prominent name for the derby is Felix, who came on loan.

Yes, it is not possible to compare him with Lewandowski. He is not a finisher like him, but he will have a chance in this match and he will do it as a player. It is a great chance for him to make himself stand out by scoring goals in this way.

[Leviathan.007]

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.

The next two matches which are quite close for Barcelona are actually matches that are equally important for Barcelona, because in La Liga Barcelona must be able to beat Athletic Club which is currently in the top five of the La Liga standings. Meanwhile, in the Champions League, Barcelona must be ready to beat Shakhtar Donetsk in order to remain in first place in the group standings, so these two matches are actually both very important for Barcelona in order to remain competitive at the top in two different competitions.

The game between Real Madrid and Barcelona is also close and we can't be sure if Lewandowski can get ready for this match.
There is even a chance to see Xavi don't take too much risk and don't use Lewandowski in the next games to make him ready for the important match between Barcelona and Real Madrid which is a good chance for Barcelona to decrease the gap and get themselves closer to top of the table.

Exactly, Real Madrid are the best team in the La Liga league now because they need to win the league trophy this season, and I don't think they will make mistakes to allow Barcelona to lead them in the league table because he will be head for them. You can decide who will win the La Liga trophy after playing the El Classico because both teams are playing well, and Barcelona will try their hardest to win the match because they will play at home, But I believe Real Madrid will not make any mistakes that will cause them to lose to Barcelona, the only thing Madrid can do is win or draw the match because if Barcelona defeats them Barcelona will have more confidence to win the league, I don't think Girona will stay longer in that  second positions because if they face Athletico Madrid and Barcelona, they will drop points, Football on the other hand, is impossible to predict They can even win the league if Real Madrid play poor.

As of now the odds available on Rollbit for under 3 are @1.71, not too bad IMO, at least if it doesn't reach @2.00, but it has a pretty good chance of happening. The last meeting between the two teams at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan resulted in 1 - 2 in favor of Real Madrid, if that happens again, then the bet on under 3 will be void, wouldn't it be better to choose under 3.5 goals? BTW, don't forget to pay attention to the bookies for the Girona - Almeria match, if we are 99% sure that Girona will win, why not bet on that match too?

Same, at stake.com also currently Odds under goal 3 is @1.71, but for Odds under goal 3.5 @1.47. It's actually not that bad for me bet on under goal 3.5 if in the end we got winning, although the odds are small, right?  Yes, it seems makes sense if look at the record of the last match Sevilla vs Real Madrid, maybe that match will also end with the same score. But actually it's not a guarantee either, even there is a possibility that match will end with a thin score IMO.
Thanks. Already bet on Girona to win, but I put that match in my parlay and odds Girona when I make a bet is @1.57. Amazingly, the bookie was very kind in that match, I mean the chance of winning for the bettor is high in that match.

For real it would be very exciting it always has and one thing  I love about the El Classico is that each year comes with a different vibe, i know most people can't wait to see how Jude Bellingham would perform against Barcelona, well I'm not really sure if Lewandowski would be absent there are chances that he could be back  to the squad to help them perform better upfront, however both clubs midfield looks very balanced cause likewise Gundogan Realmadrid bought Jude Bellingham  and he's been outstanding since his arrival and even performs better than he did at Dortmund.

 Well João Félix is a player that got class and performs brilliantly, even though he's not a good finisher like Lewandowski he's created a good impact since his arrival on loan from Atletico Madrid and I believe he'll be impressive in the El Classico whether Barcelona win or not.

[kawetsriyanto]

Takefusa Kubo wants to return to Real Madrid if he gets playing minutes and if he returns just to warm up the bench, it looks like he doesn't want to return to Real Madrid. This will be quite a difficult decision but let's see next summer whether Takefusa Kubo will return to Real Madrid or not.

I think Takefusa Kubo is better to stay in his current club, Real Sociedad. He got enough time to play there, he becomes an important player in Real Sociedad squad. If he moves to Real Madrid, I doubt he can get enough time to play. He probably sits on the bench because he will be difficult to compete for the regular position. We know that Real Madrid has Rodrygo as the main right winger. They also have Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz that can play in the same position. When Rodrygo can't play, I assume Ancelotti prefer to choose Arda Guler or Brahim Diaz.

If I were him, it is easy to make a decision because Real Madrid never guarantees for a regular position. It is better to stay in Real Sociedad and try to be the main player there. He will have a chance to improve his quality when he gets enough time to play.

Until now I failed to decide which team I support in this topic pole about the potential winner of La Liga. It is true that Real Madrid is leading the table but Barcelona didn't lost any game. Atletico Madrid is a good team but they cannot maintain positive results in every game. I think Real Madrid and Barcelona will have to wait until the last games to decide which team is more favourite than the other.

Real Madrid is not giving to chance any form of dulling this season, I think Barcelona would even have to play harder to get a win because they have the home advantage but then they would most likely end a draw if they could maintain a good defense line, because Madrid is ready to give all they have gat for the El classico.

Bellingham is currently at his peak and is ready to give his all for thes particular game, he is one of the most anticipated player fans wants to see how he would perform against Barcelona as they have also been at their best thia season as well, real Madrid have the target of winning bot the la Liga and the UCL so they are very much on fire with the right coach and a complete squad now , Barcelona would have to sit up as they will be strained, Girona should get ready as they will soon be stepping down for the rightfully owners of that position they currently occupy, after the el classico we would see if they can continually maintain that top spot.

we say it with facts and it is quite true that Real Madrid does not seem to be giving Barcelona a chance to dethrone their ranking as the current leaders of the standings. Real madrid were so consistent even when they lost Vinicius in the previous few matches, But Real madrid were still able to show their best performance by winning. Apart from that, Real madrid this season also had quite good performance in Laliga because they were able to record 8 wins and one loss against Atletico Madrid.

For Barcelona, ​​they have not tasted defeat in Laliga, but they have drawn three times which means they have to work extra hard if they want to take first place from Real madrid. However, we will see an interesting competition between the two when they meet in the El Clasico match at the end of this month. I think the El Clasico match will make interesting changes in the standings.

Real Madrid did have a few close games and Barcelona did too. You could also argue that Barcelona is still the only team that has not lost a game so far while Real Madrid lost one. After all it is 3 points that separate the two teams from each other and that really isn't enough to come up with some overarching explanation as to whether one team is superior to the other at this point. They will soon play the clasico and for me those are the best games to see which team can really raise their play such that the other team is clearly beaten. When they have these remote competitions like who scores more goals against Granada or who scores a goal in the last minute of the game and wins while the other team does not and ties the game, it's boring sometimes. The clasico will give some answers to questions about the qualities of the two teams.
