La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[rendravolt]

Tomorrow the second match of the league has started again and the clubs that will play include:
Celta de Vigo vs Valencia
Sevilla vs Villareal
Osasuna vs Mallorca
With the odds below


Big clubs like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid have not appeared so I will avoid betting on tomorrow's match because I think these clubs are quite difficult to predict. Villareal and Mallorca last week drew against top clubs Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid so they might make it difficult for Sevilla and Osasuna in the match.

Actually, some of these matches are just as difficult to predict as other elite team matches. Just look at the odds, they are not much different and can almost be said to be balanced. But one thing is for sure, there will be one winner in this match and it could be one of the teams that we don't favor. On the other hand, a draw is still strong here so it is quite impossible to take risks even if you get tempting odds.

One thing is for sure, we have to minimize the risk with other options such as handicap bets with a 0.25 or 0.5 advantage and even though the odds we get decrease, at least we are still on the safe path to winning the bet. Well, if without betting I would favor Valencia, Villarreal, and Osasuna who will collect 3 points.

If Barcelona were not struggling financially, I don't think they would have let a player of Gundogan caliber leave, as Hansi Flick himself knows the former Manchester City captain abilities very well. It seems that everyone was surprised by the Gundogan transfer, and did not expect Barcelona to do it, this is another setback that has surfaced. Besides, Hansi Flick will surely feel that his task will be even harder going forward, and now it makes sense to understand why Xavi overreacted to the club finances in the last season. If Barcelona still have ambitions to sign Nico Williams, then we will see another surprise transfer, Barcelona will certainly have to let go of more players to make it happen.

Bad news for Barcelona after releasing mutual contract for Ikay Gundogan and have return back to Manchester City with free transfer to make Barcelona's financial better and has opportunity registering their new players Dani Olmo.
Actually Ikay Gundogan have two years contract left with Barcelona but both side have reach agreement for mutual contract and Ikay Gundogan will not get his two season salary and become free agent players.

Barcelona haven't many option due high salary receiving by Ikay Gundogan and not ability cut off his salary around 50%, after Gundogan joining Manchester City has opportunity for Dani Olmo get registering without break financial fair play regulation but recently Barcelona still not announce yet about squad list for second La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao in this weekend. Any opportunity for Dani Olmo make his debut for Barcelona on this week or he must waiting more longer until Barcelona get stable or balance financial condition.

Barcelona is currently in a very difficult situation due to the effects of financial problems that have befallen them, Laporta should have thought twice before they recruited Dani Olmo before because when they fixed one hole in the squad then now another new hole is starting to appear in the squad, what is happening to Barcelona at this time actually reminds me again with the reason that Xavi was fired and isn't that a reality that is actually unnecessary covered by Laporta by saying that their finances are fine at the moment?
The problems that befall Barcelona at this time will continue if there is indeed no right solution they find in the near future and not just with releasing players or cutting player salaries, Gundogan move is expected to make Barcelona can be register Dani Olmo to the squad but reportedly currently the existing salary limit is still not enough to register new players,so that not only Gundogan will be released but several other players may also be sell or release.

Like it or not everything is over between Gundogan and Barcelona so there is nothing to regret anymore Barcelona's decision will not change and will focus on the future to make Olmo a replacement figure. Although I am not sure because Gundogan is above anyone with all Barcelona players both in terms of record, statistics and leadership. Everyone should understand Burgerlona well  , what we consider good for them can be bad and vice versa. Please understand this club always goes in the opposite direction even with its fans. In my country Barcelona fans have quite a big influence but the more I pay attention it seems they are also upset with all Barcelona's decisions about releasing Gundogan.
So the point is to let Laporta cook

I mean the joke about how Vini and Mbappe and Rodrygo were all at left wing for a while is true, for a short while that happened, normally that is not the case but they all switch places at all times, they do not have a set position to play, I have seen Mbappe at left and Vini at striker many times too, and even Mbappe a bit back and Jude ahead. He just does whatever he wants with the tactics and players, and because it gets results nobody questions him, looks horrible but then gets a result of they are looking to keep doing what he is doing and will forever be happy as long as they get the results.

I totally agree with you. This was one of the reasons why Real Madrid's overall performance was not stable. Players failed to select their position correctly. Talented players like Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham cannot play in their own positions. So Ancelotti's match strategy works properly in this match.

Real Madrid players have not failed to select their positions. They were only trying oversaturation on one side. That's why you saw that it seemed all of Real Madrid's forwards were moving to the left side. But it is a very important lesson for us to consider having a pure RW in our squad.

We could force LW to play as RW, but I'm not feeling sure they're always feeling confident to leave from their actual position.

Madrid's main problem now is Mbappe. There is no doubt that Mbappe is a fantastic player, but I'm still saying this. Mbappe is a bit monotonous. And because of this he is not able to adjust himself well with the squad players. Also Vini and Mbappe have played in the same position in the past. So the players are having some problem to adapt to the new position. But since Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. Very soon maybe he will solve this problem. And we'll see stronger gameplay from Madrid next.

Mbappe's still relatively new in La Liga, and this probably makes him struggle to adapt to the harder league compared to Ligue 1. To be fair, Mbappe was fantastic in Ligue 1, but he is still unproven in the superior league like La Liga. I'll be glad if Mbappe has cr7's level of impact, but for now I can't see it from him!

I don't even think Mbappé will score more than 20 goals this season. This is because La liga is not league 1.

Barcelona had financial problems even before Xavi arrived and all this time the team somehow exists and achieves good results. During Xavi's time Barcelona also lost Dembele, who went to PSG, and for the Barcelona attack at that time it was too tangible a loss. Now they have lost Gundogan, and also Felix who was also important for the attack, so under Flick nothing is happening that has not happened before. The difficulty is that Barcelona is losing very important players, but does nothing to ensure that their places are replaced by worthy replacements.
