La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[dzungmobile]

Last two matches look balancing between Girona and Barcelona, each have one big win and one big defeat with same result.

Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona have successfully gone through their first four matches perfectly, they have scored a total of 13 goals and only conceded three goals. This perfect start has seen Barcelona top the standings, four points ahead of their eternal rivals who have only managed two wins and two draws. Barcelona new recruit (Dani Olmo) also performed very well, he immediately showed his class in his first two appearances by always scoring goals.

Hansi Flick brought good management to Barcelona and together they are gaining very good results. The coach seems to be fitted with Barcelona's traditional tactic and he is well supported by their fans too. The season is long and things can change but with good start, they can optimistically aim at future months with at least efforts to win La Liga title.

Matchday five Barcelona will visit Girona headquarters with a mission of revenge for their defeat last season, Barcelona squad is increasingly complete after the return of Gavi and Ansu Fati giving Hansi Flick freedom to formulate a strategy. Of course Hansi Flick will do his best to get maximum results, my prediction is that Barcelona will increase their winning record at Girona headquarters with a score of 1-2.

Girona have their own good beginning in this season too and it's quite surprising start from them. Especially they already lost some star players in summer transfer season, but they did not drop too many points and performances are good and impressive in early matches too. The match with Barcelona will be a big test for Girona that whether they're actually to compete for a position in top four again.

Real Betis managed to win in their home match. After 3 matches, Real Betis got their first win and increased their points to 5 after 4 matches. Betis dominated the game, not even giving their opponents a chance to score. The goals came in the second half, but I must say that they played a dominant game in the first half as well.

[HajiBagi]

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

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

Gavi has had a very good development, he has started the training process after the injury treatment.
And the good news is related to Frankie de Jong.

Breaking news from Barcelona:

Source: Frenkie De Jong is set to return to group training next week.

He has even been seen training individually lately.

With the recovery of several of his players, Flick can finally really sharpen his squad, especially the midfield line.

If Barcelona makes the deal happen they should sell Frankie DE Jong, the reason why I said that is because they don't need him in the club again, without DE jong Barcelona can still perform well, Barcelona plays many games without DE Jong and they won and also end up in second place in the table of the league and currently they are the one leading in the table of the league this season, DE jong is the highest paid player in Barcelona and he doesn't help the team the way people think also when the team need him.

DE Jong is not a player who can play for Barcelona, I think leaving the team will help him like the way Dembele did, selling DE jong will not bring any profit for Barcelona because he is a player who always gets injured and no team will want to buy him with a high price, since Barcelona have Gavi and many young players that can play the position of DE jong I think he should be sold to another team.

Real Betis managed to win in their home match. After 3 matches, Real Betis got their first win and increased their points to 5 after 4 matches. Betis dominated the game, not even giving their opponents a chance to score. The goals came in the second half, but I must say that they played a dominant game in the first half as well.

I watched the Spanish La Liga game between Real Betis vs Leganes last night and if I must confess, it was an exciting match, filled with nervous moments and and dramatic end. Real Betis were simply the better side but were unable to break the defense of their visitors during the first half of the game. It was in the second half that they finally broke the deadlock and were able to add a second goal in that game. Real Betis last season were impressive but hasn't been to convincing with their performances this season but with the result of last night game, I think they'll gain so much confidence which will help them going forward.

This is a nightmare for Real Madrid but they are just losing the player they bought for sending too much money in this season and there are many players who are injured in Real Madrid which can make it hard for them to choose the squad for each match. Real Sociedad is the next team they are going to play against them and this can be hard for them because in this match against Real Sociedad, they won't be able to use Bellingham, Tchouaméni because both players are still injured and they won't be in this game against Sociedad.

Of course this is a nightmare for Real Madrid, with many injured players of course this will make Ancelotti dizzy facing such a tight schedule. Moreover, in the next match Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad, we all know Real Sociedad is not an easy opponent even though they started the season badly but when playing against Real Madrid they always show their best game. Moreover, without Bellingham and Tchouameni, of course Real Madrid's midfield will not be optimal because several times Real Madrid without Bellingham, Real Madrid's attacks are not so creative and there is no ball supplier to the front players.

Even so, Real Madrid is still favored to win three points in this match. Because Ancelotti has many strategies to beat Real Sociedad if there is a deadlock, the estimated lineup of Real Madrid's midfield when facing Real Sociedad in this match I predict is Arda Güler, Valverde, and Modric. But what is certain is that Real Madrid in this match must win over Real Sociedad so that their points are not too far behind Barcelona.

[Litzki1990]

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 would say Barcelona themselves are to blame for Barcelona's decline financially. What could be a bigger financial loss than Barcelona making multiple deals for huge sums of money these contracts didn't do them any good and the players they bought for huge amounts of money had to leave the club for free. On the other hand, Real Madrid did not make this mistake like them, Real Madrid completed the deal on time, that's why they are successful in most of the deals. If Barcelona had played the role of Real Madrid, their financial situation would have improved instead of deteriorating. However, since the financial situation has worsened, they now have to play with the players they have in their squad and have no other option. However, even with the current team that Barcelona is playing with, they have been able to perform well so far, but there is no guarantee that this performance will continue.

[Baki202]

As a good team, Real Madrid is very aggressive with experienced forwards like Mbappe and Rodrygo and also the amazing skills of luka and brahim as midfielders make the whole team amazing. If you talk about average ability, it would be very easy for them to win every match and they have that ability. I think if Mbappe can get back to his normal rhythm he will definitely get goals. In fact, the team management they had while at PSG was full of experience and the team work process management was very strong so that each player could see his true craft. I think a star player like Mbappe will be able to give a lot of good performances in the upcoming matches.

For the Champions League is concern Manchester City and real Madrid are always the focal point but when it comes to the la Liga then Madrid as the best best players and they are still adding amazing players to their collection and this is one of the reasons they keep succeeding over the time, because of the kind of quality players they are always bringing in, look  vinicious Jr and mbappe and rodrygo, and a lot of people are counting on mbappe to get back and give a good performance as usual and people will get what they are looking for they just need to have more time. Everything is just to new and playing in a Spanish league, he just needs to get us to the league then when he becomes stable then. He will find it very easy for him to show case his talent, and even mbappe doesn't like his performance like this because of his plan and for him to archive those plan he will need to put in extra work, for him to archive what ever awards he wants the work will grant him all  that.

Bellingham is expected to recover soon this month and that can at least ease Ancelotti's mind a little in choosing players for central midfielder and attacking midfielder in several upcoming matches. Several injured players are not a serious obstacle for Real Madrid unless the player is injured for a long time, but for now Real Madrid still has enough strength when facing a fairly strong team like Real Sociedad and for today I also don't think that Real Madrid will immediately lose at Real Sociedad's home.

Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona have successfully gone through their first four matches perfectly, they have scored a total of 13 goals and only conceded three goals. This perfect start has seen Barcelona top the standings, four points ahead of their eternal rivals who have only managed two wins and two draws. Barcelona new recruit (Dani Olmo) also performed very well, he immediately showed his class in his first two appearances by always scoring goals.

Matchday five Barcelona will visit Girona headquarters with a mission of revenge for their defeat last season, Barcelona squad is increasingly complete after the return of Gavi and Ansu Fati giving Hansi Flick freedom to formulate a strategy. Of course Hansi Flick will do his best to get maximum results, my prediction is that Barcelona will increase their winning record at Girona headquarters with a score of 1-2.

In the first four matches we saw very good performances from Barcelona. In the last BCS match, Barcelona team won against Real Valladolid with a huge margin of 7-0. And that's why I would say Barcelona players are more confident now. Olmo, Yamal and Raphinha are in excellent form at the moment.

Barcelona did not win a match against Girona last season. Barcelona lost both matches 4-2. This season, Barcelona will definitely want to avenge the defeat of the previous season. And Barcelona have every ability to beat Girona this season. I would say Barcelona will win by a big margin this season against Girona.

Yes, I agree with you because Barcelona football team played well in last match and won the match by high margin.  I didn't see that kind of matches in which team won the match by 7-0 . Raphinha played well and did three goals and he was top performer of this match . He will play well against Girona team because he is in full form and has capability to play in every situation.   Valladolid football team could not do any goal in this match and match was one sided . From this match, Barcelona football team showed that they are in good form and they can do anything in any case . If we see the stat of last four matches, we will see the stat in the favour of Barcelona team because they won 4 matches and they lose Only match .

[Volgastallion]

If we look like i said before in the top teams, only Barcelona of Hansi Flick is overperforming, because both teams from Madrid, Real Madrid and Atletico MAdrid, are under performing until now, both have much more potential than they show until now.

Its nothing to be concerned about but you need to start to chase some better rhythm, and go from less to more.

[len01]

Prediction line up Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid.

If the line up is like this, I am still sure that Madrid will be able to steal 3 points from Real Sociedad. In terms of the quality of the players currently owned by Madrid, it is still very strong and even though several main players are injured, Madrid attack line is still very perfect.

Ancelotti will currently try to focus on the defense position which may later be strengthened and replaced with equivalent players. Madrid will get a narrow victory.

My prediction is 1-2 or 0-1 victory for Madrid.

Bellingham is expected to recover soon this month and that can at least ease Ancelotti's mind a little in choosing players for central midfielder and attacking midfielder in several upcoming matches. Several injured players are not a serious obstacle for Real Madrid unless the player is injured for a long time, but for now Real Madrid still has enough strength when facing a fairly strong team like Real Sociedad and for today I also don't think that Real Madrid will immediately lose at Real Sociedad's home.

Madrid have good squad depth at the moment so I think Ancelotti will have no difficulty in rotating their players, apart from that there are several Madrid players who has started to recover now so it looks like Madrid will not have too much difficulty  to facing the busy schedule that they will have, against Real Sociedad today will be a crucial match for Madrid to maintain their chances of winning the La Liga title this season, although Madrid has so far started the league with a bad performance but I think Ancelotti certainly no longer wants to drop points after see Barcelona at the top standings, Madrid failure to get full points at the start of the season should has been evaluated by Ancelotti and we can see how in the last match they were able to play better, especially the front line which looked very compact.

So far in the La Liga competition, only Barcelona has a stable performance, its two rivals Real Madrid and ATM have not been consistent, but if we talk about Real Madrid, it is likely because many core players are injured, inevitably it can affect the team's performance, especially now that Mbappe is still new, he has to adapt a little, but I do not doubt Ancelotti as a coach he is able to handle it and this season I still believe Los Blancos are strong candidates.
On the other hand, I do not really highlight ATM but the possibility is the same because many new recruits have to adapt a little to the team, especially Alvarez who has not scored his first goal in La Liga.
If we refer to La Liga which has only been running for 4 matches, Barca's position for now can still be pursued.

My prediction is 1-2 or 0-1 victory for Madrid.

Real Sociedad isn't playing as they used to do in the previous seasons, at least since the beginning of the season. Sociedad has only four points from a victory and a draw in the four rounds played until now. They received more goals than they scored and they didn't score many..
Meanwhile Real Madrid woke up and its players coordinate better than the start of the season. A victory for Real Madrid by two goals at least is expected.

Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid

When Bellingham got injured Ancelotti make some changes so that's why i have seen Real Madrid used different formation because sometimes they used 4-3-2-1 or sometimes they used 4-3-3 and today Real Madrid used similar strategy when they were beat Betis 2-0 but the difference is Ancelotti replace Tchouaméni to Modric and Ceballos replaced by Arda Guller and i think this is effective strategy considering Ancelotti have to do a rotation for Real Madrid squad because they were facing tight schedules and after this match Real Madrid will fight against Stuttgart on Champion league and regarding the outcomes of this match certainly i was expect Real Madrid can managed their positive trend and beat Sociedad

[Weawant]

Yes, I agree with you because Barcelona football team played well in last match and won the match by high margin.  I didn't see that kind of matches in which team won the match by 7-0 . Raphinha played well and did three goals and he was top performer of this match . He will play well against Girona team because he is in full form and has capability to play in every situation.   Valladolid football team could not do any goal in this match and match was one sided . From this match, Barcelona football team showed that they are in good form and they can do anything in any case . If we see the stat of last four matches, we will see the stat in the favour of Barcelona team because they won 4 matches and they lose Only match .

Raphinaha's hat trick is actually the first he's getting for Barcelona this season and literally the first hat trick Barcelona recorded this season if I'm not wrong, the heights Barcelona is achieving in recent times is really brilliant, most persons may not have expected this much from them because technically for a team that just changed a coach when it felt like they were about transforming into a better team, would be challenged having to get along with a new coach but that doesn't seem like the case here, they are already getting along with their new coach so well.

If we look like i said before in the top teams, only Barcelona of Hansi Flick is overperforming, because both teams from Madrid, Real Madrid and Atletico MAdrid, are under performing until now, both have much more potential than they show until now.

It's not a big problem about Real Madrid and Atletico not starting the season well because after all, the league has just started and so of course there are still many opportunities that will occur as the season progresses. Although Barcelona has been very good so far, it still doesn't guarantee that Barcelona will be consistent. But indeed, it doesn't matter if we are impressed with Barcelona at the start of this season, because Hansi Flick also managed to make an impressive initial touch at the start of this season in La Liga.

In addition, basically the competition for trophies in La Liga is more often a competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona and thus, Real Madrid will remain a big threat to Barcelona if Barcelona is at the top of the standings, likewise. But about Atletico, although sometimes they fail to enter the trophy race, but in reality Atletico always manages to be in the top four of the standings.

[Ndabagi01]

This is a nightmare for Real Madrid but they are just losing the player they bought for sending too much money in this season and there are many players who are injured in Real Madrid which can make it hard for them to choose the squad for each match. Real Sociedad is the next team they are going to play against them and this can be hard for them because in this match against Real Sociedad, they won't be able to use Bellingham, Tchouaméni because both players are still injured and they won't be in this game against Sociedad.

I still don’t think this will be a big problem for Real Madrid in this match. They can still play without this players and will win the match and not feel their absence too much in the match. Injuries are inevitable and every team will have to face one or two or more several of their players getting injured during the season, so this is not a surprise to Real Madrid and they should already have a plan B in place for this. I have so much trust in the coach and the players that they’re going to do well this season, so no any injury will make them feel weak or demoralized in any of their matches. Real Soceidad may not be an easy team to win but Real Madrid are better than them of course and I expect them to win the match.

Bellingham is expected to recover soon this month and that can at least ease Ancelotti's mind a little in choosing players for central midfielder and attacking midfielder in several upcoming matches. Several injured players are not a serious obstacle for Real Madrid unless the player is injured for a long time, but for now Real Madrid still has enough strength when facing a fairly strong team like Real Sociedad and for today I also don't think that Real Madrid will immediately lose at Real Sociedad's home.

Madrid have good squad depth at the moment so I think Ancelotti will have no difficulty in rotating their players, apart from that there are several Madrid players who has started to recover now so it looks like Madrid will not have too much difficulty  to facing the busy schedule that they will have, against Real Sociedad today will be a crucial match for Madrid to maintain their chances of winning the La Liga title this season, although Madrid has so far started the league with a bad performance but I think Ancelotti certainly no longer wants to drop points after see Barcelona at the top standings, Madrid failure to get full points at the start of the season should has been evaluated by Ancelotti and we can see how in the last match they were able to play better, especially the front line which looked very compact.

The Sociedad versus Madrid match is indeed very crucial, where both teams are very ambitious to secure full points, in order to improve their respective positions in the standings. In general, this match will actually be difficult for both teams, even though we know that Madrid has a fairly ideal squad depth. However, the injuries that have befallen Ancelotti squad have made Madrid performance less than optimal so far, but it is unlikely that Sociedad will be able to take advantage of this. Madrid chances of securing full points are quite high, they are indeed worthy of being favorites even though they are expected to be hit by a storm of injuries.

Madrid journey this season has not been as smooth as expected, but this situation is still under control, especially if all the players are available again. The points difference with Barcelona is still very possible to be reduced, because there are quite a lot of remaining matches in the future. It would be surprising if Sociedad were able to hold Madrid to a draw today, or even make a surprise by beating them.

Madrid confirmed lineup: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, F Mendy, Arda Guler, Valverde, Modric, Brahim, Mbappe, Vini Jr.

Of course this is a nightmare for Real Madrid, with many injured players of course this will make Ancelotti dizzy facing such a tight schedule. Moreover, in the next match Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad, we all know Real Sociedad is not an easy opponent even though they started the season badly but when playing against Real Madrid they always show their best game. Moreover, without Bellingham and Tchouameni, of course Real Madrid's midfield will not be optimal because several times Real Madrid without Bellingham, Real Madrid's attacks are not so creative and there is no ball supplier to the front players.

Even so, Real Madrid is still favored to win three points in this match. Because Ancelotti has many strategies to beat Real Sociedad if there is a deadlock, the estimated lineup of Real Madrid's midfield when facing Real Sociedad in this match I predict is Arda Güler, Valverde, and Modric. But what is certain is that Real Madrid in this match must win over Real Sociedad so that their points are not too far behind Barcelona.

Now I realize that some Real Madrid fans are starting to worry about the points gap with Barcelona. Real Madrid, who currently have many names on the injury list, clearly needs encouragement and the best strategy to beat their opponents, but as far as we know, they are struggling. Even though they won, we really found Real Madrid fighting throughout the match.

Here are the 11 starting players that Real Madrid have announced for the away match against Real Soicedad:

Real Madrid starting eleven:
1. Courtois, 2. Carvajal, 3. Militão, 22. Rüdiger, 23. F. Mendy, 15. Arda Güler, 8. Valverde, 10. Modrić, 21. Brahim, 9. Mbappé, 7. Vini Jr.

Substitutes:
13. Lunin, 34. Sergio Mestre, 11. Rodrygo, 16. Endrick, 17. Lucas V, 18. Vallejo, 20. Fran Garcia, 36. Chema
