La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Velvet78]

Alaves - Barcelona and Real Sociedad - Atletico Madrid are other games that can be lovely to watch by the way.



My picks will probably be just like this.

Barcelona got a shocker like a 4-2 loss against Osasuna last week. But later on they improved significant morale by demolishing Young Boys. I don't think Alaves can hold them off. Barcelona's streak is broken but they can continue from where they left anyway.

Atletico Madrid is a a little bit harder choice though. I just wanted to believe they can win one way or another while Real Sociedad are having the nightmare this season. I don't think Real Sociedad will win at all but I'm just a little worried about the possibility of a draw.

But fortunately Mbappe has great skills like Ronaldo, so I don't think anyone will have a problem with this (copying Ronaldo's habits), because Mbappe also has extraordinary skills in playing football. Because it is proven that now Mbappe has started to become an extraordinary goal scorer for Real Madrid. And maybe in the future Mbappe wants to get the same achievements as Ronaldo got at Real Madrid.

Well I could say that there is nothing wrong with Mbappé trying to imitate CR7 so ​​much because if he wants the same achievements as CR7 it is something very good, also I do not see it as something bad, of course Mbappé has his own style of football and he shows it on the field, now, if this is something that determines Madrid as a team that must take advantage of the good moment it is easy, put Mbappé to play from the 1st minute, and do not make the mistake that they made in the UCL when they put Mbappé on in the second half and it was not enough for him to tie the game, but they lost in France against Lille.

Real Madrid lost against losc in the second match of the Champions League. After being unbeaten for 36 consecutive matches, they finally lost in this Champions League match. In the beginning, Real Madrid made several attacks and they created chances to score, but they did not succeed in scoring. Towards the end of the first half they found themselves trailing 1-0 on penalties to LosC. We have seen before that Real Madrid fell behind in the first half and then came back brilliantly in the second half but nothing like that happened in this match. 
After being in such great form and not being able to win against losc with a good team is really a pain for real madrid fans like myself.

The defeat to Lille signifies that Real Madrid are currently in a difficult period because in the previous match they were only able to draw 1-1 against Atletico.
Now let's go back to La Liga. Real Madrid will face Villarreal on Matchday 9, this match is very important for Madrid because if they lose again, their position will be in danger. Madrid are currently in second place, 1 point ahead of Villarreal in 3rd place and 2 points ahead of Atletico in 4th place. This match is not easy for Real Madrid because currently Villarreal is in a positive trend, especially when they were defeated by Lille, they played very badly. Ancelotti must immediately get Real Madrid back on track if he does not want to lose his position in the standings.

We didn't really expect Barcelona to draw against Atletico Madrid but in that match Real Madrid basically failed to win but we saw them lose to relatively weak opponents in the crucial Champions League match. Barcelona did not start the season with a strong team like Real Madrid but they have performed well in every match they have played this season and are currently at the top of the points table. Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet tomorrow in different matches of La Liga where as Real Madrid's opponent we will see Villarreal perform while as Barcelona's opponent we will see Alavés. Barcelona are sure to get 3 points against Alavés and Real Madrid are going to get 3 points against Villarreal so we won't see Real Madrid equalizing points with Barcelona in the upcoming match.

As the current Villarreal team is playing very well and has changed a lot of their game, their performance is very strong, moreover they are in the third position in the points table. So in today's match, Real Madrid will have to attack in a way that the opposition team can't defend very well, but Real Madrid will have a chance to win today.

Real Madrid are unbeaten in La Liga. And they have a high chance to win this match. The defeat to Lille was very surprising because it was beyond many people's expectations. But many say Real Madrid have 2 main problems right now. First they lost Kroos and there is still no other midfielder who can play as well as Kroos. Second they don't seem to have good chemistry in the front line even though they have the most dangerous attacking trio in the world right now. I think the match against Villareal will be an easy match for them. But if Villareal can play well there is a chance the match will end in a draw.

I can’t judge Real Madrid's last result against Lille to say they will not win this match against Villarreal, although I’m expecting Real Madrid to win this match, although it is in the top 3 of the table, and this will make it tough for Real Madrid again because Villarreal will also want to maintain their sport in the table; they will not want to go below 3rd in the standings.

That is why I’m going to find the game challenging and tough for both sides anyway. Let's see how it will end up since both of them look good even though Real Madrid is the favourite in this match. That was what happened between them and Lille, and they end up losing to them. Let's see how this one goes tonight. I just hope the same thing should not happen; if not, I’m going to conclude that Real Madrid's performance is getting weak.

Villarreal is very close to Real, only one point difference, and while Real is not in the best form they can try to take advantage of it, but the main thing is not to try to sit near their goal, because Real will find a way to score. It is also important for Villarreal to put pressure on Real's defense, although it seems to me that they will be happy even with an away draw. Courtois is absent from this match, but it seems that Lunin played well in the Champions League match, it was difficult to save the penalty, but otherwise he played very well.

While it is true that points-wise they are close to each other, we all know that Real Madrid is the better team and they should be able to get the win. I understand why people doubt, we have seen them not play that great all season so far, while they did win some games, they didn't look convincing and they finally lost to Lille, which was the nail in the coffin proving there is something wrong with that team.

However, I believe we are going to end up seeing Real Madrid still end up winning this game, they are just too good not to. They are also close to Barcelona, they can't lose points now, they need to win every game until they catch up to Barcelona, otherwise the points gap would grow and Barcelona will play Alaves, which they should be winning.

Atletico Madrid is a a little bit harder choice though. I just wanted to believe they can win one way or another while Real Sociedad are having the nightmare this season. I don't think Real Sociedad will win at all but I'm just a little worried about the possibility of a draw. 

That's because the manager Hansi Flick rotated the squad so they can be fresh for the Champions League Competition fixture against Young Boys which they won anyways. I'm sure Hansi Flick would go hard on Alaves even if they're playing away from from. This should be a game with three to four goals, I'm not expecting anything less. As for Atletico Madrid, I know they're yet to lose in La Liga Competition, I don't know if this would be the first game they'll lose against Real Sociedad after that shocking lose against Benfica in the Champions League Competition mid-week. I will say a win or draw for Atletico Madrid.

Literally what I was talking about. To be honest I don't want to make the same mistake today again. Since Real Madrid is inconsistent these days, we don't know what to expect. I won't bet on them to win. Rather I can choose from varieties of odds that are safer. It could be Real Madrid to win or draw because i don't expect Villareal to win them in as much as anything could happen.

I honestly don't consider the draw against Atletico to be inconsistent although the defeat against Lille earlier was a mistake and against their will but that's all that makes them wrong. The rest I don't see as inconsistent because they did it reasonably.

Now the match against Villarreal should not be linked to the Champions League defeat although indirectly this will also still be linked, it's just that the situation is a little different so however Madrid must be able to get 3 points now to keep the competition in La Liga especially now is the momentum in the 3 point gap with Barcelona must be maintained no more than that so victory is a mandatory price in this match.

Real Madrid have failed to win in their last two games in all competitions which is why it's understandable that some football fans are now doubting their strength to beat Villarreal tonight but let's also not forget that Kylian Mbappe didn't start in any of these past two games. The France international starts tonight and that I think is a huge advantage to Real Madrid so my prediction is a straight win for Carlo Ancelotti's men.

Madrid starting eleven has been released, Mbappe and Vinicius lead the front line using a 4-1-2-1-2 formation, perhaps this is an experimental formation that Ancelotti wants to try, especially to stabilize the attack line by focusing on Mbappe and Vini so that Bellingham will be a shadow striker in the middle because the midfielders are handled by Modric and Valverde. This rotation should be effective because it provides a fuller left and right side without having to compete with Mbappe and Vini.
