La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[AYOBA]

I am sure that Barcelona will beat Girona, the year Girona was good was last year, they are not looking as strong this season and I think Barcelona looks much better this season as well. They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.

I think it's clear that the yare going to get better if they keep this up, so far they won all their games if I remember right and Girona shouldn't be any different, they have a chance to win that game too. I get that we are going to see something changing, I think we are going to see what could be done with what we have, and that should be something we can definitely work with, that's the most important part.

Girona is looks average but too early to speak on that, they don't look sharp like last season. In fact it's Barcelona that is doing what they did last season while Girona has taken the place of Barlona last season and it makes make wonder how long Barcelona will go without losing a match in this season. However, we shouldn't underestimate Girona, even though they don't look sharp they have only loss one game and draw one, it's possible they can still pull some things possibly.

That’s all about football, not who leads today can be able to lead tomorrow. Everyone was surprising by Barcelona's serious appearance from the start of this season's league. However, this is only the beginning. Girona also had this kind performance last season when the league first began, and yet in the end, they finished lower on the standings.

Therefore, I don't think Barcelona can able to go on without losing any games in this situation; they can definitely salvage some points. They currently lead just two clubs in the table with four points, but if caution is not exercised given the way Real Madrid performed so well on this particular day, they might overtake the top table from them.

[Jegileman]

But indeed, if we consider the head to head results in the last two seasons, then Girona looks better but maybe, with head to head results like that it will be a trigger for Barcelona to beat Girona at this moment.

Barcelona are stronger and are performing better than Girona too so they have better chance to beat Girona in coming match. It will be a big test for Girona but they are strong mentally as shown in last season and this season too. Big test is tough but Girona are not fearful and they can go through a big test with good result even the opponent is Barcelona.

From last season, seeing how Girona team have been playing makes me see them as a big team that will surely make it tough for any team they’ll be meeting in the La Liga competition and also the champions league competitions too. They’ve really come a long way to reach this stage they are now, it will not be easy for Barcelona to prevail against them. They did well last season and have started this season also not in a too bad form, so every match will be important for them to win and will try their possible best to make all of that happen in every chance they get in the competition. I can’t wait for the season to get to the middle, that’s when we’ll get to see competent teams that can prove their worthiness in this season.

That’s all about football, not who leads today can be able to lead tomorrow. Everyone was surprising by Barcelona's serious appearance from the start of this season's league. However, this is only the beginning. Girona also had this kind performance last season when the league first began, and yet in the end, they finished lower on the standings.

Girona really missed that opportunity last season and I hope they don’t repeat the same thing again this season if at all they continue on a good form and begin to create a winning streak in the team. The Girona team should be amongst the best teams for the league title last season, but after their poor form began, they finished in a position we never expected them to end with. First time in the champions league, I also what to see how they play and prevail easily.

There's no doubt about it. I personally think the same as you, except that from the beginning many of us had doubts about Mbappé's arrival at Madrid because the player was a very arrogant person, but as everyone has said, that was because of the power that the sheikh gave him within the team and well, that was something that we saw and it was evident, so in this case things were different, but as we have already said, now he is in Madrid and Spain is not France and Madrid is Madrid, things change there, given this Mbappé has adapted very well and that ego that we thought we could see no longer exists.

and now:

EA Sports FC 25 best La Liga players: Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham & the top rated Spanish league stars

Normally it's very possible we may not get to know the personalities some persons have got beyond thst which we know until they later get some where else and do better,  lest not forget he role of environment playing out on the personalities of certain persons, they may be at a point where they literally want to exit or want something but not getting it in a particular environment may frustrate their efforts and cause them reacting and behaving in certain ways of which I believe was the case of mbappe, now at Madrid that appears like his dream, he's doing just fine with them. Like you rightly stated too it could be the power he had at PSG which he no longer has at Madrid so all these put together are factors to consider.

They are getting more leaner and they are learning to deal with their financial issues, sending away some players.

Girona started the season slowly but they have begun to get back up a little. They drew their first game and lost the second, but they were able to comfortably win the last two games even tho the Sevilla game was that that easy for them.
Barcelona is going to face a very well-rested Girona team that had most of its first-team players in the club during the international break, plus they play at home. Last season Girona won them home and away.
Obviously, this season Barcelona has started in flying colours but if they're going to keep up that 100% form, they will need to put in a lot and pray more injuries do not happen.

What I'm certain of is that its going to be an interesting match because both teams are attacking-minded. I think there will be over 2.5 goals too. Or Barcelona to score 2 or more goals.

It really going to be a super interesting match to watch having Girona playing host of this game, They're playing a team that hasn't lost any of its la Laliga games in their four games of the season, Girona on their side, isn't totally in their bad form, But I'm still looking at how Barcelona would go their to Estadi Montilivi stadium to lose this game against Girona, I still see Barcelona wining their game against Girona regardless of what Girona wants to play in that match.

This match would have a more interesting game if we can have the girona of last season playing against this incredible Barcelona side under Hansi flick it will be a great match but if you ask me the current Girona are actually not in a better position to face Barcelona. I am predicting an easy Barcelona win except maybe the international break would reduce their form again. Barcelona playing pattern this season is a very ruthless one except the fact that they are still yet to solve their goal conceding problems and this would one day back fire because they are usually coming from behind to win every match with just the 7-0 whopping of Real Valladolid been their only game they haven’t conceded

The worst result of Barcelona's trophyless run last season was when they were beaten not once but twice by previously humble Girona. Girona inflicted a pair of painful 4-2 defeats on Barcelona.
And of course, coach Flick and his team are determined to repay this debt. Barcelona is now showing itself to be a different team than in the final year of former coach Xavi Hernandez. Quietly effective, Flick's Barcelona is very good at attacking the opponent's weaknesses, becoming dangerous when necessary. They are burning with determination towards their fifth consecutive victory.
But Girona, despite their inconsistent form, was a formidable force last season and could force Barcelona to a draw in the Catalan derby.

[KTChampions]

I saw some people comparing Vinicius Junior to other great Brazilian players or legends such as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Neymar. Honestly this comparison style doesn't make sense at all.

Vinicius Junior still has a lot of work to do to reach those players' level. Are you just kidding?    I'm not even talking about Ronaldinho - Ronaldo duo. They were just insanely good. And Neymar, I believe he is much more talented than Vini.

Vini should adapt to playing coherently with Mbappe first. If both of them play selfish then Vini can't also improve his game more. But if he continues to gradually improve, I believe one day he can also be among the best players.

I don't think Vinnie has ever had a problem with selfishness/greed - he's always willing to make an assist first rather than try to score himself.
As for comparisons, I don't think they are relevant - football has changed a lot and those "miracles" that Ronaldinho showed are simply ineffective and harmful now, rationality has won. There is no doubt that Vinnie should continue to progress, and I think he has every chance to surpass Ronaldinho, because Ronaldinho was at his peak for a relatively short time (how long, probably three years?).

[Sexylizzy2813]

As of last season Real Betis was better compared to this season where they played 3 games without a win 2 draws with a single loss. I think they need to get back to that form they were and going against Leganes is still going to be a difficult game for the home side after struggling with Madrid without a goal I think they (Betis) might get a chance of winning this game. The ball is in their court so they need to make the fans happy tonight or else it will be a back to back loss, I'll go for a home win no matter how down the home team is on the table, 2-0 to Betis to win against Leganes.

However, for this season I believe Barcelona is a team that is on fire with 4 consecutive wins and as you said they are ambitious to get the 5th win, maybe some people will consider Girona as the home team but yeah I don't think it's enough to stop Barcelona and if there is a team that can stop Barcelona it should be Real Madrid not another team. The match we have been waiting for will take place next month when Barcelona face Real Madrid while also confirming that the winner of the match will probably win the title.

Real Madrid will also play away against Real Sociedad and for Real Madrid at the moment they are not in their best performance because they only drew against 2 weak teams well, while playing against a stronger team, Madrid looked better that's why they are called unstable. Real Sociedad are confirmed to be without Mikel Oyarzabal due to his red card in the previous match which will certainly have an impact on their attack line, on the other hand, Real Madrid seems ready to catch up.

I am predicting an easy Barcelona win except maybe the international break would reduce their form again.

If it was last season, maybe I would have chosen Girona. But for this season, honestly, I am more confident that Barcelona will win over Girona.

There are several reasons:
1. Barcelona is more consistent and stronger in starting this season
2. Several key Girona players have moved clubs
3. Barcelona's playing pattern under Flick is more consistent and measured, they are more solid now.

Although there are indeed several Barcelona players who are still injured.
Here are the list:

UNAVAILABLE: Ronald Araujo (Injured), Christensen (Injured), De Jong (Injured), Marc Bernal (Injured), Fermin Lopez (Injured), Gavi (Injured)

I think Gavi just resumed training  recently  but he's still yet to start playing might still take a while for him to full recovered besides, I think the estimated period was mention, can't really say where exactly I saw that but I'm pretty sure I saw something like that.
Frankie de jong's injury seem to require a surgery which is 50-50 and I don't think he wants to do the surgery, for now I think he's going to undergo some playing test to determine if he will be fitting to still continue playing thus, if he fails then I don't think he has any option than to take the surgery because it will be too dangerous to allow him play with his injury (but he claims he can handle it, I haven't heard any news about it today though...) and his injury period seem to be getting longer

Injuries should be one of the main factors to avoid in elite clubs and more specifically targeted to key players. Barcelona performance is consider to be one of the best performance this season, there's no going back for Barcelona and Hansi Flick. Just few months incharge and he already started showing positive efficient evidence. He will do more as time pass by. Injuries do ruined the football career of players, ask around.

Who's trending on Twitter? Gavi back to training and this is good news for the Spaniard who's consider to be rare gem in his prime. Can he be able to fit back in? His peak dropped the moment he got sidelined for months due crucial injury obtained. Perhaps with the help of Hansi Flick, Gavi will returned fully back to training and worked thoroughly on himself for a rebound back to league games and playing epic position under Hansi Flick.

Real Betis is not doing well this season with 3 games without win. Last season they were much better. They usually win at home but not this season. Their next game against Leganes is chance to improve. Leganes often loses away games so Betis can win. Also Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini usually beats Leganes. With these facts and need to win at home I think Betis will win 2-0. It is time for Betis to play better and make their fans happy.

Since the dismissal of Xavi at the end of last season, Barcelona began to receive criticism and was considered to have made a mistake by firing Xavi who was able to bring Barcelona stability in every appearance despite having a limited squad, but what we see now is actually far from what many people fear because in fact Hansi Flick was able to bring Barcelona to perform well at the beginning of the season, So far Barcelona has won 4 games in a row so many are starting to speculate if Hansi Flick has been able to make Barcelona better, but in this case, I think we are still too early in judging Barcelona because after all they have not been faced with a tight schedule so it is still easy for Barcelona to go through the  match this season, the real test for Hansi Flick is when they must to face Champions League and also La Liga matches who have a schedule of less than 4 days from one match to another, So I think if Hansi Flick is able to bring Barcelona to consistently win in such a busy schedule, then we can say that currently Barcelona is in the right hands.

A former Barcelona player will go to take over when Barcelona are in a bad situation. After Xavi took over, Barcelona's fortunes gradually changed and Barcelona won the La Liga title in the 2022–23 season. However, in the following season they failed to win the La Liga title and Real Madrid won the title by a big margin that season. However, after the end of the 2023-24 season, it is rumored that Barcelona are going to sack their manager Xavi.  

Many people criticized this action of Barcelona and Barcelona started a new season with this criticism. But at the start of the season, Barcelona have been playing the right tactics and are in the right positions so far. If everything goes well then the fans will consider this decision of Barcelona as correct but if for some reason the result goes against and Barcelona has a bad result compared to last season then the management and manager will be criticized by action based media and football lovers.

Indeed, with bad financial issues, Flick has been able to do better than Madrid to date. But this condition could change. The season will be long. There will be a lot of matches. Barcelona will still have many challenges to prove they can compete in financial limitations.  Indeed, this condition is much different from Madrid which has abundant funds and many new star players. But this condition is not in accordance with expectations until now. Maybe they will even have difficulties because many players are injured.

I think for now we can't say that Barcelona is better than Real Madrid, indeed at the beginning of this season Barcelona's performance was quite impressive with all the limitations they had and the doubts of many parties towards them but Flick was quite successful in making Barcelona's performance different and better now but don't overreact, this is still the beginning of the season while Real Madrid with all the changes has not yet achieved its best performance so it doesn't mean that it will continue to be the same, as time goes by everything will be different.
And one thing I am sure of is that the competition for the La Liga title this season will be much fiercer than last season between Barcelona and Real Madrid, it will be much better.

In the last few seasons we have seen better performances from Real Betis. But we don't see a better performance from Real Betis this season. The team shared the points in the first two matches and lost the last match. Real Betis shared points with Girona and Alaves in the first two matches. And the team lost against Madrid in the last match.

Real Betis has a big chance of winning the next match. However, the team is not in good form yet. However, the Leganes team is now in the 9th position of the table. Even then, this team cannot be called stronger than Real Betis. It is also Real Betis' home match. In this match, Real Betis team is going to win a match for the first time in the season.

For now, Barcelona's condition is still fine even though with limited players and also financial limitations, new coach Hansi Flick can overcome it, but we don't know yet whether this good condition will continue to be stable because this is just the beginning of the season and Barcelona still has many matches and also still has to face the Champions League competition and Barcelona has a tighter schedule than before, Hansi Flick must be able to arrange a good formation and think about how to arrange their mainstay players to stay fit, at least manager club arranges rotation to avoid many injuries to the main players because Barcelona doesn't have many star players like Real Madrid if the club experiences an injury crisis it will greatly affect the team.

Barcelona form this season was really surprising, not everyone expected Barcelona to be this good, even going heads up against Madrid to hold the top position in the La Liga table while Madrid cling on second position. Barcelona are opportune that Madrid drew two of their four games which separated both with considerable numbers of points and goal difference aswell. These should be a good motivation for Flick to keep the teams performance consistent and even better because definitely Madrid are getting better and we may not see them loose/draw as much games to drop points, in some weeks, some injured players will be back on the pitch and teams performance will be great.

Betis vs Leganes

As a host Betis has poor start because they were unable to win in the last 3 matches in Laliga and surprisingly as promotion team i think Leganes performance is quite impressive because they only lost once from 4 matches and can earn 5 points which this achievement is much better than Betis and both teams last met on season 2019/2020 and Betis has good records because they were unbeated in the last 2 meeting

Real Betis starting lineup:
Silva; Sabaly, Llorente, Natan, Perraud; Cardoso, Carvalho; Lo Celso, Fornals, Ezzalzouli; Ruibal

Leganes starting lineup:
Soriano; Alti, Saenz, Gonzalez, Hernandez; Neyou, Brasanac; Cruz, Rodriguez, El Haddadi; D Garcia


I have seen Betis condition is not really good because seems some of their players won't be available for this match because of injured so that's why although they are the favourite in this match but i highly doubt Betis can win and i have thinking possibility this match will ended to draw or under 2.5 goals

Draw @3.70
Under 2.5 goals @1.61
