La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

Considering the number of Real Madrid players that are currently injured, Carlo Ancelotti will surely be very excited to see here that Eder Militao will only miss two games after he picked up injury during the international break with the Brazil national team.
For Aurelien Tchoumeni, he was withdrawn from the France national team squad last week after he picked up a foot injury and have since then returned to Madrid. It was reported that it was a minor injury so I don't know if he'll be fit enough to feature for Real Madrid this weekend.

The number of players who are injured will affect Real Madrid in facing the match in the League and Ancelotti will have to think hard about finding a game formation using the number of players available. The defense line is quite important because if they are weak in that sector it will make it easier for opponents to launch attacks and Real Madrid will also have difficulty keeping up with the other team's game. Luckily for next week they face a much easier team so it will not have a big effect by losing several key players.

Real Sociedad are not very strong now because they have only won one match, but Real Madrid must also be careful because in their last match Real Sociedad managed to hold Getafe to a draw. Hopefully Eder Militao can be played in the next match so that Real Madrid's defense can be much stronger.

It was beyond my expectations that Hansi Flick could stabilize the Barcelona team so quickly. Hansi Flick is an experienced coach that we knew. But last season we saw very poor and erratic performances from Barcelona. And the status of this group is very shaky. There were no experienced players in the squad except Lewandowski

I'm sorry, but this is nonsense thing. I meant you called Barcelona has no experienced players, except Lewandowski. Are you thinking that an experienced player is someone over 30 years old? What a joke is this?

So, why are there lots of Barcelona players playing on their national club? Aren't they experienced enough to do that?

The player's age doesn't really matter now. Even Yamal is called the next superstar when he is still under 21 years old.

So far hansi flick has managed the team quite well and it can even be said that there are many improvements that have occurred in the current Barcelona game, Barcelona which does have a limited squad has been able to show consistent performance so far,  because their can perfectly win 4 wins from 4 matches and is clearly different from what we see with Madrid today,  Although Barcelona still has many shortcomings in their defense but we have to admit that their attacking line is quite dangerous at the moment, I think last season when Barcelona  coached by Xavi was also quite good and we can't distinguish it from what Hansi Flick is doing now, Barcelona currently has a lot of experienced players and I also think if that experience is not just in the form of age, But we should know that experience is the mentality that the players have in competing so far and most of Barcelona young players have had a strong enough mentality because they have played for the country and also Barcelona for a long time, so the experience is not only an old age factor.

Atletico Madrid have made a similar start to Real Madrid in the league by the way. Nearly everything was going to be the same if Atletico Madrid scored one more goal.    Do you think Atletico Madrid will stay in the title race this season? They have made some good signings for the attacking line such as Sørloth and Alvarez. Maybe Alvarez couldn't improve his performance yet but I believe he will in time.

I still think that Atletico Madrid are definitely able to be candidates in the title race this season and even if Atletico Madrid cannot win this season in La Liga because of the strength of Barcelona and Real Madrid which are still quite good, at least Atletico Madrid can still aim for the top three and top four positions for this season. Because Atletico Madrid is still considered a good team even though the arrival of the two players you mentioned has not been able to make a big contribution to Atletico Madrid, but as you said, Alvarez can certainly get better over time this season.

In fact, Real Madrid, which basically brought in great players like Mbappe and several other potential young players, in reality Real Madrid still failed to start this season perfectly. So, if a team like Real Madrid can also fail, especially a team like Atletico whose quality is basically below Real Madrid, then of course Atletico can also fail even though they managed to bring in great players in the last transfer market.

But even so, of course Real Madrid and Atletico still have the same chance to be candidate teams for the trophy this season. Because after all, basically La Liga will always be related to the three teams and they are Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico. Although sometimes Atletico also has difficulty staying in the top three, but over time Atletico has always managed to finish in the top four.

Even though several of Real Madrid's main players are currently injured, I think Real Madrid can almost always avoid defeat. This team was built with a strong mentality and never give up, even if they only draw. It's always difficult to beat Real Madrid regardless of player injuries, so I don't think many people need to worry about that when Madrid plays Sociedad.

Real Sociedad has only won 1 of the 4 matches played for La Liga so far. They have collected 4 points from 1 win and 1 draw, while the other 2 matches were losses. Sociedad is playing at home, but I don't think they can stop Real Madrid in that match.

Atletico Madrid club is undoubtedly in a good position this season. In La Liga so far they hold the third position in the table with two wins and two draw out of four matches although there is no big difference in points between 2nd and 3rd place. Atlético Madrid's points gap with Barcelona is 4 but with Real Madrid not much of a difference, Atletico Madrid have a great chance to advance in this session. I am very optimistic about the second position, even if I can't compete with Barcelona. I don't have high expectations for Sørloth but with Alvarez get high expectations. A team player should not be judged by just one or two matches. Even if Alvarez doesn't do well, he will definitely give his best but we have to wait for his good performance.

I don't understand what you mean by "Real Madrid still failed "  sorry, but could you please make some specificities on how they failed??

Mbappe got signed to the club and, in just one game to wrap up the competition, they won the European supercup finals already. AFAIK, Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the Spanish league, even in other competitions as well. Do you understand what it means to have Rodrygo, Bellingham and mbappe as a team's standard and forward players?

But even so, of course Real Madrid and Atletico still have the same chance to be candidate teams for the trophy this season.

La Liga isn't a competitive league.... Not as competitive as the English Leagues. What do you think is the reasons why Nicholas Jackson and the rest had a hard time in the premiership? Again, that's not enough to belittle Madrid!

Barcelona is currently in a very strong position. Especially since last 4 matches they have played very good football. Their main area of ​​strength is forward. As a result they play attacking football. They have scored a total of 13 goals in the last 4 matches where they have scored 3.25 goals per match (on average). Their team's young player Lamine Yamal plays very good football which he has shown in national team and club. He is only 17/18 years old and his football skills are impressing me. I wonder if he will contribute to football more than I expect in the future? Or can he compete with Messi? Messi and Lamine Yamal's arrival in football is almost identical. Now it remains to be seen whether their journey is perfect or not.

Hansi Flick started this season perfectly. If you check the La Liga standings, you can find out that Barcelona is leading with convincing points. Barcelona won every match in La Liga, they always got full points. It is different with Real Madrid which already got 2 draws although they become the most favorite team to win the La Liga in this season.

Agree. There is quite a lot improvement. I think Barcelona played more effectively and their defense looks stronger now. Lewandowski and other Barcelona attackers could show that they become sharper. In the beginning of the season, Lewandowski and Raphinha leads the top scorer table. Meanwhile Yamal leads the top assist table. It is very clear that Barcelona attackers performed better than the previous season.

Barcelona currently has a lot of experienced players and I also think if that experience is not just in the form of age, But we should know that experience is the mentality that the players have in competing so far and most of Barcelona young players have had a strong enough mentality because they have played for the country and also Barcelona for a long time, so the experience is not only an old age factor.

Barcelona also have many experienced players in the previous season. In this season, Barcelona main lineup even has more young players with less of experience. But the mentality of the player is different now. It is very obvious that they have a better mentality, Hansi Flick looks successfully improving the mentality of Barcelona players.

I think by now Carlo Ancelotti should have learn a lesson from his previous matches, it have to go like this, in the absence of the desired the available become the desired, like my people used to say use what you have to get what you want and Carlo Ancelotti really have to work so hard to be getting nothing but winning always, the four interval points between them and Barcelona is very huge because currently Barcelona are really work harder to compete with Real Madrid because they know that Madrid squad is season are very strong which means they have to make use of any opportunities that comes their way.

Regarding Real Madrid next match against Real Sociedad, I agreed with you that Madrid really have to be careful because the are play away match despite the strength I expect them to play any game as a final match if really they want to make it ahead of Barcelona, for the past six matches now real madrid haven't lost a match and the draw they are playing am not satisfied with it.

Real Sociedad are not very strong now because they have only won one match, but Real Madrid must also be careful because in their last match Real Sociedad managed to hold Getafe to a draw. Hopefully Eder Militao can be played in the next match so that Real Madrid's defense can be much stronger.

We didn't have to mention as much, the possibility of Real Madrid's victory over Real Sociedad is like 70% because Real Madrid are already on their way to the top of the league table this season. With the current 8 points, they are second to Barcelona who are also on the sprint race to grab the league championship this season. Real Sociedad have not been as strong, not up to the position of the Real Madrid or the likes. If they were to meet with the Atletico Madrid who are at the third position of the league, they may not be able to win them. Then talk more of the Real Madrid who are working towards reclaiming their top position like in the previous season.

I don't know the position that is strong a d that which is not, but Barcelona is looking good so far, they have not lost any game since this season, infact they have fantastic results so far and that is Really impressive from them, yamal is obviously becoming an asset Barcelona cannot do away with currently because his performance since last season until now has been nothing below awesome and I think its pretty a good one because he's still very young and have a whole lot of career time ahead.

Real Sociedad are not very strong now because they have only won one match, but Real Madrid must also be careful because in their last match Real Sociedad managed to hold Getafe to a draw. Hopefully Eder Militao can be played in the next match so that Real Madrid's defense can be much stronger.

Make no mistake, although we know that when statistically we certainly know that Madrid is still above Sociedad but in terms of actual conditions we can know that Sociedad until now is a subscription to the dark horse club which is actually very troublesome so with Madrid's current condition where some of their players are experiencing problems this is clearly a slightly difficult condition for Madrid.

But indeed with some results that were not very good before (apart from yesterday's match against Betis) then indeed Madrid will definitely try their best to get 3 points in the match later.
Arda may still be able to play despite previously rumored problems with his foot but he can still be used for the match later but it will still be a little difficult where several other core players who are currently under treatment will clearly change the flow of the match which could change their performance which is on the way to improvement for the better.

In fact, Real Madrid, which basically brought in great players like Mbappe and several other potential young players, in reality Real Madrid still failed to start this season perfectly. So, if a team like Real Madrid can also fail, especially a team like Atletico whose quality is basically below Real Madrid, then of course Atletico can also fail even though they managed to bring in great players in the last transfer market.

~~

In fact you need to understand that Real Madrid failed to start this season perfectly because they had to face a lot of injuries. If we consider, Real Madrid's crucial players like David Alaba, Dani Ceballos, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, J. Vallejo, F. Mendy, A. Tchouameni, and Eder Militao are injured and still are. So in fact this was the reason for Real Madrid's failure, when a crucial player is missing in the team, how will the team be able to perform, even if the team is using a player like Killyan Mbappe, the output result will be weak. 
 
Therefore, when the comparison is made, Real Madrid has many player injuries, while Atletico Madrid had few players injured and now they have also recovered. Real Madrid did not perform due to lack of players whereas Atlatico Madrid did not perform due to lack of competence. It is inappropriate to compare both. Real Madrid is one of the greatest teams, despite Atletico Madrid being a normal club.
