La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[borovichok]

Barcelona will be missing some important players. This obviously gives very big impact to the club. Barcelona was struggling against bilbao and the match against madrid will be even harder than it. Xavi may also try to rotate its players again. I saw that if xavi was always changing the position of felix and ferran torrest. These guys rorated as wingers and striker to fill the vacant spot after lewandowski was injured. It seems like that if xavi will try to rotate its players again this time. Im thinking about the chance for lewandowski to make its comeback. The blaugrana fans are counting on lewandowski caused by he has still a chance to comeback and play agains rela madrid.

Barcelona struggled this season due to the absence of important players, Frankie De Jong, Raphinha, Pedri and Robert Lewandowski, without these fine players, they're trying so hard to come out with good results. I compliment Xavi Hernandez because it's not an easy task to use young players for challenging games in La Liga and UEFA Champions League. Xavi Hernandez is keen on watching Robert Lewandowski bounces back to the team because the present squad is really having difficulties in facing their oppositions on the pitch. Next game is El Clasico and against Real Madrid.

Talking about player injuries, it seems that Barcelona is also facing a new problem because their loan player from Atletico, Joao Felix, reportedly suffered an injury in last week's match against Bilbao. However, it seems that the injury is not serious and he will be in the El Clasico match this week. It is possible that even if he is included in the squad, it seems that Xavi will not take too many risks and I think he will only be benched or only come on as a substitute to freshen up their attack line. I hope that the news that has affected the players who suffered injuries ahead of the El Clasico match will recover quickly so that we will see the two teams competing at full strength.

At this stage it more important for club to protect their players from getting injured even though that may sound impossible but realistic if common wisdom is apply because we have seen the impact of players injuries on the overall performance of the clubs several times before and the negativity around such absence is too expensive for the club to bear and at that should make out ways to keep the players out of injury zone.

The news of Felix's feature in the next Barcelona outing is highly relieving for both the club management and fans since we will be expecting a good time out in the next match as said.

I think now the club has to rest its players and maybe a big loss will be incurred by the absence of its main players due to injury. Maybe this is quite risky but the club has to think about the long term and definitely don't lose points in the next match after the El Clasico match is finished. Joao Felix's presence has been confirmed, but whether he will play or not is still quite doubtful and even though this is still unclear, at least Barcelona is present with high confidence in front of their fans. A difference of one point will be a high motivation for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid.

No matter how important a match is, a player can never play in a match if he is not fully fit and the physio does not suggest him to play. Clubs will never risk a player's career. The El Clasico match is an honor match for both Real Madrid and Barcelona, so if any player is likely to be injured, then both teams will try to rest him and replace him with another player. I don't see much of an injury problem at Real Madrid, but if the manager feels he will rest any player then that is entirely up to the manager. But even if important players are rested, the players the two teams will field will make this El Clasico match much more exciting.

Xavi had to feel the pinch early, I mean usually a team would struggle with losing important players to injury mid-season or towards the end of the season, but not Barcelona, in fact they had to feel it early (yes that's early in my opinion). This is really a test for the coach to continue to rack his brains to make his team not too tight when facing matches, especially if it's a big match like this.
The choice is to rotate players and that is indeed risky but with their situation like this then there is no other choice for Xavi to do. He must convince his players to do their best.

[Velvet78]

And of course the biggest event of the week is the El Clasico.  

Lewandowski's condition is still questionable. I assume his condition will be clear by the announcement of the squads. Kounde is again absent due to injury which is a sad loss for Barcelona. de Jong might be able to play though but his condition would also be the same as Lewandowski I assume. For Real Madrid there is no extra problem on this topic. Barcelona are still very slightly favoured but I think Real Madrid can win here. Especially if Lewandowski doesn't play I would be more confident about that.

Sadly Felix who has had some brilliant performance recently for Barcelona was injured over the week in their last champions league game, I don't really know if it was bad enough to keep him away from Playing for awhile. Over the week there were speculations and rumors that lewandoski was going to play in the El clasico after which he will leave for further treatment but then I don't know for sure how true that information is.

Barcelona is really trying even with all the challenges they are been faced with, they still try to get wins and contend brilliantly against elite teams in the UCL and la Liga, the El clasico is drawing near by the day and it happens to be one of the most anticipated in the la Liga currently, I will be hoping to see how well both team will perform on the pitch, I will be avoiding making predictions on the possible out come so I can enjoy the game without a biased mind.

But so far hasn't Xavi been quite successful in maintaining team stability even though the Barcelona team continues to experience pressure and problems?
I think there is no need to doubt that Xavi can do the same thing in the El Clasico match. This weekend's El Clasico match will be played at home to Barcelona. They will definitely do everything to be able to get points in front of their own supporters, if Talking fiercely, of course it's fierce because this is a match between two big La Liga teams which is full of prestige and with high tension of course.

Girona's performance this season so far has been very astonishing, staying second position is the league table after playing 10 matches, winning 8, draw 1 and lost 1. Girona holds same points with Real Madrid who are the league leaders topping Girona with a goal difference of just 3 goals.

Consistency is a key to a teams success and I believe with the resilience Girona have shown so far, there's no doubt that they are most likely to win their match against Celta vigo this evening as Celta vigo is struggling in the relegation zone as they stand on the 18th position, with Granada and Almeria all rocking the relegations position.

The difference between Girona and Real Madrid is that Girona is the team with the most goals, but unfortunately, their defense is not as good as Real Madrid, which concedes fewer goals than Girona. If Girona can improve their weaknesses at the back, it is very possible for Girona to stay longer in the top four, even continuing to be in contention for the title with Barcelona as well.
Girona's eleventh match will be against Celta Vigo and it looks like this will still give Girona the opportunity to add points and be a big opportunity for Girona to lead the standings because Real Madrid will face a quite difficult match against Barcelona.
Against Celta Vigo it should not be an obstacle for Girona seeing how Celta in the last five matches could only get 2 points, which means the two teams are in quite different conditions, Girona should not be careless and they should be able to get 3 points.

Girona's performance in this season I think is one of the most surprises in any of the top five leagues in Europe. Very few persons would've predicted to see Girona on the same number of points with league leaders Real Madrid after 10 Spanish La Liga games but surprisingly to many of us that is what we've seen this season.
In a match week that third placed Barcelona who are one point behind Real Madrid and Girona play against Real Madrid, Girona manager and players knows that one or two of them will be dropping points and that's why they'll definitely want to beat Celta Vigo in other to maximize the opportunity to go top of the league. Girona's performance this season have indeed made the Spanish league a very interesting one

Grinoa have quit well performance in this season and unbelievable with their consistency until 10 matches keep lead second standings position. Upcoming match against Celta Vigo is good moment for Girona return to the top position because el clasico match between Madrid vs Barcelona will begin tomorrow and have few hours for Girona lead top position standings. Girona impressive performance not only consistency with winning trend but also they are most productivities teams in La Liga have scored 24 goals and left one goals remaining than Atletico Madrid have scored 23 goals.

Not really difficult for Girona keep on the top position standings depend they can impressive performance after winning 8 of 10 matches and they loss from Real Madrid only.

Whoever appreciates good performance and good football would love to see them at the top, for they have done the unexpected, since they have fought hard to this position, the Champions League might be difficult, still nothing is impossible to achieve, what I would say it that they should make sure the qualifications for European Competition is a must. I barely know who's in charge, he has done well to bring them to this length.
They successfully wins tonight and they will remain at the top of the league for whoever wins against Barcelona and Real Madrid during the El Classico.

Celta Vigo are not so bad, I watched em against Barcelona and that was a good game. Iago Aspas as far as I know is tue only outstanding player in that club he needs better support esle they'll be damned for months Innit relegation zones.

[makishart]

Xavi probably already knows how to overcome Madrid so maybe he has other ways to reduce Madrid's attacks in the El Clasico match later, I also think Barcelona will not be able to win this match because of course their attack power doesn't look better without Lewandowski too, Madrid of course will play attacking and keep pressing during the match to score goals and win the match.

Maybe my opinion is different from yours. I was a little scared of the final result.  Real Madrid always struggle against teams with perfect ball possession like Barcelona. Maybe a few games ago Real Madrid Win but that was when Barcelona was in transition. This time Barcelona is so strong, even the best result actually wants Barcelona to lose. But I see the reality maybe a draw is for the best. Barcelona and Real Madrid are the dominators of the Spanish league and they have their best strength at the moment so I realize that Barcelona are slightly ahead because they play at Camp Nou.

Yes, it true that the chance of a draw does look a little perfect, but I have the same concerns as you because seeing several performances, Real madrid is only able to score a very small score, while Barcelona can always score a bigger score in several matches, so I'm worried that won't end in a draw, but Barca It is possible to win the match on one side, Barca will be superior because this club will be the host which usually provides slightly greater chance of winning because of greater self-confidence.

Did you mean 1-0 against bilbao and 2-1 against shakhtar? Scoring a lot of goals didn't guarantee you to win the game. Real madrid on its best performance this time. I think that it will be so hard to imagine if madrid will be conceded a lot of goals against barcelona.
Where the hell is barcelona scoring machine? he was injured. Barcelona will be playing without lewandowski which will prove that if the capability owned by him to score lots of goal will not be useful for barcelona.

Barcelona is still in a disaster situation at this moment. The club is having so many players injury but it must have faced real madrid which has become a very strong club with very good bound at this moment.
Real madrid will destroy barcelona very soon. This 16 times uCL champions will not lose against barcelona easily by conceded a lot of goals.
Madrid is ready to humiliate barcelona with huge scores even though the match will happen away for madrid.

I don't think if Celta Vigo can even beat Girona in this match. Celta Vigo is not a bad team and as you said they even had a good performance when they were playing against Barcelona in this season but one game from Celta Vigo can't prove anything while Girona is much better than Celta Vigo and they are currently the second team of La Liga while Girona got a close race with Real Madrid and Barcelona this is enough to say Girona got more chance than Celta Vigo is this match.

[Blitzboy]

I also believe that Barcelona will still be able to play well even without its main players. But even so, I personally predict that it will still be difficult for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid in the El Clasico match this moment. Because yes, even though Barcelona has managed to go undefeated so far this season, but in reality Barcelona doesn't always win every match. Therefore, if for example Barcelona can play well in this match, then maybe a draw would be a good result for Barcelona. Because yes, I personally still quite confident that Real Madrid has a chance to win this match or yes, a draw could happen. Who know

Some Barcelona players have recovered from their injury. I assume Lewandowski and Raphinha will play again in the upcoming El Clasico. There is no problem anymore in their attacking line. I only doubt about Barcelona midfield, Pedri and De Jong are still injured. But they still have some options (Gavi, Gundogan, and Romeu). While in the defense line, Kounde is the only player who won't be ready to play. So, I think Barcelona still can play with a good lineup.

By the way, Barcelona is more superior in the last El Clasico. They won the last El Clasico, now they also play at home. I think Barcelona has a chance to win the match although it won't be easy because Real Madrid is in a good form. So, we can't underestimate Barcelona, they know well how to beat Real Madrid.

When I see how bad Barcelona's team is, I get very worried about the next El Clasico. Their attack will be stronger if Lewandowski and Raphinha come back, but Im worried about the middle of the field. Even if Gavi and Gundogan step up, Barcelona's core looks weak without Pedri and De Jong. In the last match, Barcelona was the better team. But the way Real Madrid is playing right now, I think Xavi's team might have trouble. Not having Kounde on defense makes me even more worried. I really hope Barcelona shows me wrong, but the injuries make it look like they wont.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I don't think if Celta Vigo can even beat Girona in this match. Celta Vigo is not a bad team and as you said they even had a good performance when they were playing against Barcelona in this season but one game from Celta Vigo can't prove anything while Girona is much better than Celta Vigo and they are currently the second team of La Liga while Girona got a close race with Real Madrid and Barcelona this is enough to say Girona got more chance than Celta Vigo is this match.

I can't say the Celta team is that good with the way they perform, winning is like something they find very hard to stick with, they lack so many things. Scoring and holding on to it is difficult for them and is hard to see them having a comfortable win but playing a draw is common for them.
In this encounter I'd go with what you said about Girona, they're the better side in terms of form and position on the log than Celta, I hope this won't be another draw because the visitors are just good at making a better side play out a draw.

Behind Barcelona advantages that you talked about in the last few matches, you slightly overlooked the shortcomings experienced by Barcelona ahead of El Clasico. Barcelona back line is not as solid as last season, they concede more easily this season due to less than optimal cooperation. Barcelona also lost several important players due to injuries that befell them, Xavi had to fill several holes left by the main players with reserve players or players from the La Masia academy.
Meanwhile, Ancelotti can use his best starting eleven in El Clasico. Even though they act as hosts, Barcelona must be aware of Real Madrid strengths and be careful about the shortcomings in their squad.

I don't want to make predictions in this match and will skip the bet because it is difficult for me to guess who will win the match.

[beerlover]

While we are getting closer to the most important match in La Liga between Real Madrid and Barcelona, there are some injured players in both teams and it made the fans a little bit worried.
Jude Bellingham is an effective player in Real Marid and they are counting on this player for the game they have against Barcelona, while there is some news about this player and it seems he is injured but Jude Bellingham said he will definitely play in the El Clasico match against Barcelona.

I would say Jude would be the most important player because he is a difference maker for that club. So far that dude didn't had 2 games in a row where he didn't score and that's an important thing for them. Plus, Barcelona has played like 10 players from la masia so far, t hey are definitely trying something and with the way their debt is going, la masia is the best place to find new players for them since they can't just buy players.

Between these two teams that are trying to get younger, this could be start of the new generation battle between them, both teams have a lot of young players that will probably stay with the team for at least another decade, and those players will have their first ever el classico against each other, many to come. I believe that Real looks a lot more ready as a whole team, but Barcelona looks like they are better at finding goals, so it's going to be a close game, Real will play a lot more with the ball, but the result could be a tie.

The sports betting market is all in favor of Madrid and I might also bet on Madrid, in terms of the quality of the players who will probably be played, Madrid is more favored than Barcelona, it seems that Madrid will not win big, at least a narrow win is more than enough, especially playing at Barcelona's home ground, of course. they don't want to concede and will keep their back line from being easily penetrated. Prediction Madrid will win by one goal

I dont know honestly, a year ago I would have said the same thing you say, Barcelona seemed galvanized and Robert Lewandowsky scored a lot of goals, almost in every game.

This year he seems a little dull to me, its true that he has a better attack, but I dont see all this great motivation.
Maybe I am wrong, but I see this Barcelona as demotivated and tired.

Girona would go ahead of both Barcelona and Real Madrid tonight only if they win, for that I'm ⁷⁰% sure of them winning rate tonight, they don't win, then, they will get a single point. They just can't lose this game to Celta Vigo.
I agree with you, the come back against Almeria was unexpected but they did that. Almost everyone expecting a win from Girona but I expect a tough challenge. Celta would prove stubborn, because they would want to get more points and avoid Girona's accession to the top of the La Liga table.

Jude Bellingham hasn't featured in such a big game, he should be dropped for Luka Modric who has experience. Carlo Ancellotti is Boss! Let's see how he plans for Barcelona.

[Doell]

-snip-

If Barcelona manages to secure full points and occupy the top of the standings, then Madrid strength this season is full of doubts. Of course we still remember Madrid defeat to ATM in the previous sixth week, which was their only defeat so far. If Los Blancos loses for the second time this season in the eleventh week, I think their strength this season should be questioned, because when they met with big team they lose points. On the other hand it is related to Barcelona, so far Xavi squad is the only team that has never been defeated in ten weeks in La Liga, but have drawn three times, meaning that sometimes they also have difficulty getting full points. So looking at these facts, it looks like it will be difficult for Barcelona to beat Madrid.

A change in the standings leader is very possible and would indeed be very interesting if it happened, meaning it would create tight competition in the top four. However, I think this time Madrid will be luckier when they visit Camp Nou considering that Ancelotti has a more complete squad than Xavi. This means that this meeting did not show the full strength of the teams, however, Barcelona still had the advantage of acting as hosts, so i think a draw is quite fair for both.

Indeed, a draw is quite fair for both of them. But considering that the points gap in the top 4 is very close, maybe Real Madrid will be motivated to steal full points from Barcelona.
This week, Girona have an advantage, they could possibly to get full points against Celta. Meanwhile, Real Madrid this week will face their Eternal Rivals, they match is more difficult rather than the Girona match. If Real Madrid can only get one point then may Girona will take over top ranks for awhile.
By the way, the points obtained in the current standings are really interesting, ATM has 1 match yet to be played and they have the potential to be in top.

[Raflesia]

El Clasico is not just a continuation of La Liga but this is a match that is full of prestige so Xavi does not want to take risks because defeat could affect the mentality of the players for other matches so I think it was the right decision for Xavi to save some players to stay fit in El Clasico.

I agree with this because El Clasico always makes a difference in the end for the standings and the La Liga trophy.
If we remember last season when Madrid struggled in El Clasico for La Liga this had an impact on their performance in other matches and this time it does not rule out the possibility of being like that because this is a match that is qualified for prestige so both clubs with their history in it definitely do not want to lose points in this match especially for Ancelloti because in the previous match for La Liga Madrid had to lose in El Clasico which could be a good revenge for them.

Xavi and Ancelotti both rested some of their previous players in the Champions League and this week's match in La Liga I think we will see the full strength of both teams because they must be ready for this match.

Now looking at the condition of the players it looks like they will still be ready because even though there are some players who will not be able to play like Militao for Madrid or Raphinha from Barcelona but the other players are ready for this new era of El Clasico because there are so many young players who will compete now.
Barcelona have the nice advantage of playing at Camp Nou for the first El Clasico of the season but sometimes this doesn't change the matchup significantly because sometimes Madrid can also excel even at Camp Nou.
It's definitely going to be interesting to watch but as for betting at the moment I haven't thought of any options although my hopes are with Madrid but honestly I'd be hesitant with my bets.

I don't think if Celta Vigo can even beat Girona in this match. Celta Vigo is not a bad team and as you said they even had a good performance when they were playing against Barcelona in this season but one game from Celta Vigo can't prove anything while Girona is much better than Celta Vigo and they are currently the second team of La Liga while Girona got a close race with Real Madrid and Barcelona this is enough to say Girona got more chance than Celta Vigo is this match.

It's a bad team now. how can you call that as team that is placing at the relegation zone as not a bad team? it doesn't even make sense. The position if club in the standing has been also reflecting the overall performance from the club since the early season.
That means if girona can't be categorized as a bad team if it was not placing at the relegation zone this time. Girona is also competing with real madrid and barcelona this time. It sounds impossible for celta vigo to beat girona easily.
Girona was the third strongest team in the la liga this time. I would pick girona instead of celta vigo. girona's odds is also pretty decent for betting purpose.

Despite the odds being over 1.8, suggesting that bookies don't consider Celta Vigo an easy opponent for Girona, I'm confident that Girona will win the game against Celta Vigo easily.
I hope that everything will be fine and girona will able to get full points from celta vigo.
