La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[len01]

I'm not surprised by Barcelona's recent low performance in La Liga this season, because Barcelona signed up low-ranked players who can not perform well most times. This season, you can not compare Real Madrid players with Barcelona players, the difference is very clear. Barcelona will continue to perform like this unless something is done during the January transfer window.

Barcelona not inform because the management have failed to intrigue positive development for the club and the manager have tried his best to settle things down but nothing seems to be working. Before laying out blames to players, It's very frustrating because one don't have any clue on the lapses face by these players in question. Talking about Barcelona signing medicore players in the previous transfer window. Joao Cancelo, Joao Felix and IIkay Gundogan, are these average players? I don't think so because these players have become experienced and pro on the pitch, they served important purposes for their previous clubs and Barcelona doesn't seem to an exception why the club is having problematic issues.

the difference is simply financial and this is self-explanatory.
In the situation that Barcelona is currently experiencing, we can't blame anyone because it is the finances that make this team look bad, even though in fact, if we look deeper, Barcelona performance is very strong, but they need several high quality players to strengthen their performance, but back to Barcelona finances, they can't do anything can get free players from the transfer market and players like Felix are quality players for me he is not an average player and we can see it from his performance at the start of this season which is very good at making a contribution.

if we talk about improving finances by selling players who are not qualified, let's look at the efforts of Barcelona management trying to sell players who have decreased performance and retain young players and selling Lewandowski to Saudi Arabia but in fact this player refused to go to Saudi Arabia and chose to stay at Barcelona while If Lewandowski wants to accept the Saudi Arabian team's offer, Barcelona will definitely get quite good income because the Saudi Arabian team always dares to spend big money.

what is certain is that we have to be able to accept Barcelona situation and we cannot compare it with other teams because Barcelona has advantages and weaknesses that other teams dont have.

This season, you can not compare Real Madrid players with Barcelona players, the difference is very clear. Barcelona will continue to perform like this unless something is done during the January transfer window.

Actually, Barcelona does not lack good players, but the main problem is financial. Because I think it is still appropriate for players to demand fair salaries and good training facilities. Then Xavi also played an important role in why Barcelona performance was declining. Xavi is starting to lose effective strategies to implement on the field, his closeness with players and club owners is now quite tenuous because there are no mutually beneficial policies. In my opinion finances are the root of Barcelona problems because they are unable to maintain stable play on the field. So whether you like it or not, you can save costs by using several young players from your own academy and using players on loan or free transfers. There are quite a lot of problems facing Barcelona, so it's not surprising that the field looks chaotic.

Comparing it with Madrid at the moment is clearly unfair because Madrid has financial stability which makes it easy to buy players at high prices at any time, especially since there is no need to doubt Madrid training facilities because they prioritize the comfort of their players, they can get maximum results when playing on the field. Tested coaches and quality players are certainly able to create solid teamwork.

Barcelona lost the friendly match. I didn't see it directly but are Barcelona playing seriously? I heard they got paid $5 million to go to America. It seems they continue to work to earn money. I think this match is not very effective when viewed from the benefits for the team. But the main factor seems to be Money. They are willing to fly 8200 km to arrive in America.

Barcelona did not play seriously in this match. Barcelona's second row squad played in this match. Even then I thought Barcelona could win. Because the opponent was quite weak. But Barcelona lost the match 3-2. Xavi should work more on Barcelona's defense. In the last few matches we have seen poor performances from Barcelona's defenders. If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League and La Liga, the defenders must play well. If the defenders play well, Barcelona's overall performance will be weaker in the future. Xavi should add more talented players in defense in the winter transfer window.

Barcelona this season are lacking something,and that is a consistent goal scorer.Lewandowski is no longer scoring goals as he did in his first season at the club,maybe his age is having effect on him,but I think signing a striker to assist him in the January transfer window would have been the perfect thing to do.Lewa is a good striker no doubt,but there are things he was doing when he was younger,which he find difficult to do now because he is no longer agile as he used to be,and this has made Madrid and Girona dominant throught out the first half of this season.It would be good if Xavi looks for an alternative,and stop relying on only Lewandowski to get the team goals.

This problem will make Barcelona not to end up in 2nd position in the la Liga league competition because Girona and Real Madrid are in a serious battle to convince people that they are the most strongest team to win the trophy in this season, if Barcelona coach fail to act fast. Lewandowskii was doing well last season to helped the team to win the trophy last season but his performance in this season showed that he is getting old and Barcelona coach need to start searching for talented striker that can handle his position next season.

Barcelona have talented goalkeeper and defenders that can make Barcelona to return back to their consistency winning, if their coach can start using some of the young strikers in the bench to see if they can perform more than Lewandowskii.

IMO about Barcelona this season. because they don't have a goal-hungry striker like Suarez, no attack creator like Messi, and no great dribbler like Neymar. Now all of Barcelona's wingers, when they get the ball, always pass backwards, the same goes for the midfielders, when there is counter-attack momentum, Gundogan or Pedri always take the ball too long. Even though he had time to look for space, the winger ultimately lost momentum, continuing to be trapped in continuous passing without being able to create many opportunities to score goals.

Not only the front line has problems, but their defense also has the same problem at the moment. When they can't score goals and at the same time their defense is fragile it becomes a very big problem. They've conceded 21 goals in the 18 games they've played this season, which is more than last season when they only conceded 20 goals in all the games they played in La Liga.
Xavi can't stay silent about what is their problem this season, because if it is left unchecked it will be more dangerous in the future. In the last week, they also conceded 2 goals to a very weak team that is at the bottom of the table, proving that their defense is easy to penetrate.

[Jody.Drummer]

There is a postponed match between Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla today, yes it's a match that should have happened in week 4. I can't count on Sevilla in this match, because this season they are very worrying, in La Liga they are struggling to rise and in the Champions League they have to go home early without even winning 1 victory.
It looks like Atletico Madrid will be able to comfortably win this match, and they can restore their last 2 matches that ended without a win. Sevilla is a very good opportunity for Atletico Madrid to win, especially this is a match that will be held at their own headquarters.

Lewandowski is no longer young, the age factor really influences his quality, plus there are no other players who are able to provide good passes for him on the front lines so it seems very difficult for Lewandowski to maximize opportunities or score goals.
However, I think Barcelona's problems are not only on the front line, but almost all lines of the Barcelona team this season have problems so that this team is having a very difficult time scoring goals.

That's right, club finances play a big role in building squad strength so that it can compete with other title contenders. Barcelona has big obstacles in moving in the transfer market, the player recruitment policy must be overcome in various ways, including loaning players. Management has had to get around this by recruiting players on free transfers, so it is understandable why Xavi's squad this season is a bit unstable. Personally, I see that Xavi is a great coach, he is able to manage a team that is having financial difficulties, and his ability was proven last season by winning the La Liga title.

Overall, the depth of Barcelona squad is actually not much less than that of eternal rivals Real Madrid, so I think Xavi and his squad have a chance of retaining the trophy this season. I think it would be better for Xavi and management to first try to make the status of loan players like Felix and Cancelo permanent, these two players suit the club current needs. And we have to prepare a budget to find a successor to Lewandowski, because I see that the striker has started to decline in his sharpness to score lots of goals, increasing age cannot be avoided.

I agree with you. Barcelona's problem is not only the front line. Their midfield and defense have performed brilliantly in previous seasons. But both the midfield and defense have been weak this season. What Barcelona need most now is to strengthen the defense. If the defense is strong, Barcelona's overall situation will change. Barcelona have talented players in the front line. But due to the weakness of the midfielders, Barcelona is not getting good performance from the front line players. Xavi still needs a lot of money to strengthen the team. But due to the financial condition of the club, Xavi is not able to strengthen this team.

The main reason why xavi was using the secondary squad against amateur team in the friend match is to avoid its main player to get injury. We do know that barcelona is still competing for some top competitions. Having its main players injured are unacceptable thing for barcelona. This is why xavi refrain his club to use the main squad against the amateur team. It's also possible for him to give a try for so many young talented players of barcelona.
Xavi and laporta will be selling so many players and the club needs to raise a lot of money to pay the debt and so, some players may be leaving from there too. This is what im thinking about that.

Xavi can also use various reason to answer that why barcelona used non main squad against that american club. Barcelona has been missing gavi and using the main squad will put barcelona into the risk to lose more players.
This is a sense answer that can be used by xavi to anwer any questions regarding it. There are many people talking about this right now.

Barcelona must find a solution to increase the stability of its financial balance to avoid sanctions from UEFA. One of them is having a friendly match to help the club finances before it is due, Xavi admits that they are helping management by going on a friendly tour to get some money. The toughest sanctions await Barcelona if management does not act quickly, Xavi squad is threatened with being banned from appearing in the UCL for several seasons.

Despite the course of the match, Barcelona only thinks about profits, of course this is not a match that can be used as a benchmark for official competitions in which Barcelona participates. The financial crisis that has hit is the most serious challenge faced by Barcelona, along with their current instability in La Liga which requires several additional new players. A situation that makes it difficult for Xavi to build a squad in the January transfer window, in fact they need to recruit another striker to replace the aging Lewandowski.

Barcelona got serious financial problems and they let Lionel Messi as well as some star players left their club recent years. They did not learn from their precious lessons by overpaying, betting too much and continue to buy some new star players with hope that those bets will help their club gaining good results, titles, go far in Champions League and get good income for their club finance.

If their results are bad, they will get bigger problems and will face with bankruptcy. They are on a verge of collapse and pressure to succeed in La Liga and Champions League is very huge.

I agree with you. Barcelona's problem is not only the front line. Their midfield and defense have performed brilliantly in previous seasons.

They have problems with Lewandowski but it began with their strategy to rely on an old striker like him two seasons ago. It is predicted consequence if their dependence on Lewandowski is too big. They already started to give opportunities for more young players and gained some success with those youth players but traditionally Barcelona are not good with their academy to grow world class strikers.

They have to look at transfer market to find a good striker to replace Lewandowski. Meanwhile they will have to adjust their tactics and reduce dependence on the Polish striker.

Furthermore their problems in midfield especially defensive areas are not too small. Their defense system becomes more vulnerable in this season and they are paying cost for their weak defense.

We know how Barcelona defendlines and midfield are not working, they're not in the picture for prominent clubs to win the La Liga or any other significant title this season. Barcelona faces finance inabalance equilibrium and now they're fighting to win over significant budgets on their radar. Xavi Hernandez have a whole lot of problem to deal with this season, we know how the club is fluctuating interms of performance and there's absolutely nothing the coach until January transfer window were he will sign prominent players and become confident of leading the club to glory path.

If Barcelona wants change, of course in the January transfer window they will have to bring in new players.

This actually happened when Messi left for PSG because of financial problems. Barcelona had to sell Messi to PSG so that the money from the sale could cover Barcelona's financial problems. According to him, Barcelona's performance was caused by this problem, so they couldn't even afford to buy famous players, so That's why Barcelona buys non-favorite players so that financial matters are stable and the budget expenditure for purchasing players at least doesn't drain all of Barcelona's finances.

The players brought in by Barcelona can later be trained so that they can become mainstay players or expensive players in the future, and all of this aims to remedy the financial problems that Barcelona has experienced in recent years.

So I'm not really surprised by the financial problems that Barcelona is currently experiencing!!

I think they sold there high-ranking players and use the money to recruit other players thinking they could perform very well without knowing that is the biggest mistake they have ever made, because if they had use the money they invested on those low-ranking players and buy few good players it would have helped them a lot on this there difficult period because there major target now would have been on the money they can use to enhance the club.

With what has been happening in Barcelona team, is actually better to buy two good players than buying four low players, perhaps I don't really no if the Barcelona management system is to be blame for not managing there funds properly, and the truth of the matter is that for Barcelona to regain back there performance is to look for money and get some good players during the transfer window because if they are not able to sign more good players there performance may be affected.

However, the last few days were unforgettable for Atletico because they had to draw against Getafe and who would have thought they failed to secure the full 3 points at home. On the other hand, Sevilla actually got a landslide victory against Granada in the previous match. So I think Sevilla still has the same confidence as in all matches and even though this time the opponent is Atletico, I am quite sure that their rivalry as a big team in Spain since decades ago will still be lit through this match.

Atletico's advantage is that they are hosts again in two consecutive matches and this time they must win. But I think the draw will still haunt Atletico because Sevilla will also put pressure on them and can at least take one point on the way home. So both teams both need points to be able to improve their existing position again and for Atletico it feels even more special because they are motivated to immediately shift Barcelona from 3rd position.

The financial situation of Barcelona at the moment doesn't require an irrational spending. It requires careful consideration and study too. Barcelona needs to get out of the situation fast and so they wouldn't dare trade their chances. They've got eyes on some players who are or will also be willing to join them but they just can't squeeze out that funds because it'll lead to another jeopardy.

It's so sad that for the mean time, they'll be left with just free transfer options or low budgeted players. Adding a high rated player in the team would also mean a careful study of his salary incentives and finding a plan that would befit this player and I don't think any player of that stance, would want his salary structure reviewed. The best thing for Barcelona is just endurance whilst finding quick means out of this situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game. I'm sure anyway that that's definitely what will be done immediately they're out of this phase.

Yes indeed, I am also quite sure that Atletico has a good chance to beat Sevilla in this match because yes, basically Sevilla is still very weak. What's more, at least at this moment Atletico are in a better performance of course than Sevilla and therefore, it is a target that Atletico can get to win in this home match.

Also, based on head to head results, at least Atletico still has a better winning record when playing against Sevilla. But even so, sometimes Sevilla also managed to be able to play well and therefore, if Sevilla managed to improve their performance in this match then a draw could still happen. Therefore, even though I think Atletico has a chance to win but still, I believe it will not be completely easy because sometimes Atletico is still possible to fail.
