La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

Early game to kickoff match day 14: Athletic Bilbao vs. SD Huesca

Current odds (Bitsler):
Bilbao 1.93
Huesca 4.4

The gap is a quite larger than what I'm expecting as only three points separates the two but it's all good to those who will bet for the home team.

Atletico and Barcelona to follow few hours later. Both should get all three points in their respective games.

Athletic Bilbao 2 - 0  SD Huesca

Athletic Bilbao won 2 nil at one against Huesca in a close game. The game looks destined for a draw until Huesca got a red card and also a penalty awarded to Athletic Bilbao in the  86th minute. The win takes Athletic Bilbao 9th on the log, while Huesca remain on the bottom of the La Liga table.

Since the Bilbao vs Huesca match hasn't started, I have predicted a victory for Bilbao, apart from playing at home, Bilbao are above Huesca
in the table. And from the match statistics between Bilbao and Huesca it was clear that Bilbao controlled the match and made more chances,
so it deserves to win. But I agree with those of you who think the match will end in a draw, because when entering the 80th minute no goals
have been created.

Finally on 86 minutes Jorge Pulido gets a red card and Bilbao get a penalty, which in the end Kenan Kodro executed the penalty very well.
After winning 1-0 in the 86th minute, Bilbao's players were even more excited, finally in injury time they managed to enter another goal.
With this, Bilbao rose to 9th position and Huesca is still in the relegation area.

I have quite a big bet on Elche finishing the match vs Atletico happening right now with an Asian Handicap of +2. Atletico hasn't been too heated up this season so the probable outcome is that Atletico wins by 1 or 2 goals.

In Barcelona, things do not go as desired. the performance of the team depends on messi. When Messi's performance is bad, Barcelona cannot win a match. It is possible that they will lose points in the Valencia match.

Barcelona has very serious problems and Messi’s problem is just one of them.
I’m a little sorry to see Messi unhappy and struggling at this club instead of enjoying football and showing us his football genius.
Barcelona like this is really not a favorite in any La Liga match and that is a sad fact for the fans.
I bet on Valencia.

But there is still a little time in my opinion for Barcelona to win the game but still in the current appearance, only the dependence on Messi is currently a lot of pressure on him so maybe concentrate so that it can disappear if the problem persists.
I think Barcelona will have a harder time dealing with reality but still if Messi stays at Barcelona I think it will not be good the performance will be worse and it will no longer be a serious view of his fans.

Barcelona Valencia match is currently a 2-2 draw. If the tie is not broken, Barcelona will lose points again. It is impossible for them to become champions if Barcelona doesn't improve their performance.

[adamvp]

And this match is already finished.
Valencia is honored club, but this season, especially last matches doesn't play well. So indeed this result is a loss of points for  Barcelona.
But overally seems to Spanish football is very affected by coronavirus pandemia - current lider Atletico played quite  weak in CL.

the match ended 2-2 and as for me Valencia looked even better and lost many chances to score more goals. as Atletico Madrid won today and Barcelona lost 2 points the gap between them is 9 points.

[CLS63]

Today, there was a match between Atletico Madrid and Elche. Elche played really good and tried to make Atletico Madrid's work harder but Atletico Madrid got a deserved 3-1 win in their home match. Their performance has been really good recently and they are the leader in the league now although they have 2 missing matches.

This is a battle between two Madrid teams unless Barca can put up a consistent run. For now, just consider Barca out of title contention.

If you are betting on this team, look at how they did in their last match. They are performing like Man united in the premier league. They play great the previous week and be disappointed the next week

Honestly Barcelona has always depended on messi . I mean sure sometimes they were good even without him, rarely but it did happened back in the day, and he doesn't miss that much games neither, but this team saw periods where they had players like henry, eto, neymar and so forth from outside and players like iniesta and xavi most famously and a lot others as in house raised, but right now they really do not have too much, they have been not so great for a while now, specially last year as well.

However lets not overreact and act like Barcelona is relegating out of the league, they are still one of the best teams in the league and already a top 5 team in rankings as well, I am sure messi will figure something out with the team, and if not team will move to become better without messi by spending some money and getting some good young players up from youth teams.

Honestly Barcelona has always depended on messi . I mean sure sometimes they were good even without him

Sure they did have a high dependability on this player but with the recent unstable situation not just in the Barcelona team but also amongst it's board, they are trying to see a way they can abridge that high dependability as seen in the few UCL games they played and won without him on the pitch. Surely Barcelona is far from what it has been and I think it's going to be hard recovering just because of this dependability that they had on the fact that, with Messi on the pitch, any other player can be good or the Barcelona squared is set.

Already two wins and two draws in the Laliga games today. Which lives me wondering what the outcome on Sevilla vs Real valladolid game would be but, I'm believing it to be a win for Sevilla.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Barcelona-Valencia match was really good. Barcelona were the dominant team in the match but Valencia managed to get one point somehow here. I though that after beating Real Sociedad 2-1, Barcelona could win this match too and continue their win series. But they are still having problems on scoring multiple goals. I really miss the old Barcelona.

Honestly the only good thing came out from Barcelona's side tonight is Messi scored his 643rd goal and equated him with the legend "Pelé" for the number of goals scored for a single team in history.
Messi is still continuously breaking records but he is not "the old Messi " . Anymore and for winning the game Koeman decisions were not enough as his choices are illogical and he had a lack of a clear approach, sufficient depth of defense to distinguish your players with speed and strength in order to hit him easily, and the absence of mental stimulation .

The elections will announce the new Barcelona president on Saturday 24 January, and until then Koeman continues to coach Barcelona because the current Barcelona management committee does not have the authority to do anything, he cannot take over the decision to dismiss the coach and he cannot buy or sell any player. In the event that the new president arrives and Barcelona still stumbles like this, the decision to dismiss Koeman will not be long, at least this time we know who will be the next coach.

A team can play wonderfully, lose and relegate then no one will remember it. I mean without getting the 3 points, the rest are small details that will be forgotten and Barca right now is in awkward position and getting a bit distant from the others especially ATM which managed to win and run further from Sociedad after it failed vs Levante 2-1.
Until now Sevilla is leading with 1 goal and with those potential 3 points will be in front of Barca that is in the 6th spot. We will see tomorrow what Real Madrid could do

I have been patient with barcelona enough after watching their match this season -they win, lose or draw- I would have faith that they would be back to glorious time, but watching them 90 minutes TBH the are not That team anymore,  barca will concede 7+ goal if they face a fast team like bayern or Liverpool, Dest is porous in defending. Suarez is happy at his club and when he is happy he scores dozens of goals, they come in as the ATM favorite to be champions of spain.

Suarez is happy at his club and when he is happy he scores dozens of goals, they come in as the ATM favorite to be champions of spain.

Suarez's consistency amazes me and he never brags about it. His always doing his best to get the job done except in few cases where they face rival teams like Real Madrid that Athletico Madrid fails to escape the inevitable. Though, Athletico Madrid could be said to have a much better team with Suarez and Diego Coastal go foster it's attack.

Mean while, I think the best goal in Laliga this weekend goes to the Valladolid player Raul Carnero with his short right from the tough line of the eighteen yard box into the 90 degree angle of the goal post. Wow! It was a surprising short coming from a defender to drag the game into a Sevilla 1-1 Real valladolid draw at the 86th minutes and clearly won the King of the match. 3 draws in Laliga today.

I don't quite agree that Valencia somehow earned a point. Although Barcelona dominated the entire match and Messi equaled Pele's number of goals for the club, but let's not forget how Messi's record goal was scored. Questionable penalty and removal of the Valencia player. It is good that the video arbiters corrected the chief referee, who, after reviewing the moment, canceled the red card and replaced it with a yellow card. It is still unknown how the match would have turned out if there had not been a penalty, because Barcelona acted too academically and Valencia opened the Barca defense with several sharp passes.

Barcelona is still Barcelona, ​​but this time they don't look strong enough for a team with a fast playing style. The match against Valencia could have been won by Barcelona if only they were able to maintain the advantage in the final 30 minute of the match. I don't think they should end the match with a draw when they were 2-1 up over their opponent. But they failed to hold on to the end and failed to secure 3 point. Barcelona are in difficult times with various problem facing the players and the club internally. They have to get up and get back to winning ways.

Suarez deserves to be happy at a club that really needs him (Atletico Madrid). They lead the standings with 29 points from 12 matches. They are candidates for champions, but it is difficult to say Barcelona will be able to do so this season too if conditions do not change.

I agree with you and i think that barcelona wasted a big oppurtunity againts valencia to keep their club in the race for la liga and recover the confidence because a win againts valencia was to be the 3rd win in row...now thinks get more complicated and i think the club will totally focuse on the champoins leageu
