La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[ILuckyGuyI]

Barcelona will be fitter than Real Madrid in that game as Real Madrid have a huge CL game against Liverpool today. And its result could be determinant on their performance against Barcelona also. I don't expect Barcelona to lose against Real Madrid in this.

I'm not sure it will make much difference fitness-wise. Barca played yesterday, 05 Apr. Real play today, 06 Apr. El Clásico is on the 10th, so both teams get a good few days rest.

But I had forgotten that Real are still in the Champions League! Those two matches against Liverpool, plus if they win another two in the next round... if Real Madrid remain in European competition, then the cumulative tiredness from all those fixtures may have some effect further down the line in the La Liga title battle.

Real Madrid got a huge win in the first leg of their draw. But 3-1 is still not a very guaranteed result as their opponent is Liverpool. Only 4 days after El Clasico, they are going to have the rematch. They can't risk El Clasico by rotating the squad before the rematch. So, it is very likely that they will be quite tired after these games. And they will have another tight schedule after that in the La Liga. I wonder whether they will manage to handle this and stay in the title race.

Which means that if Barca get at least a draw against Real Madrid, Barca will be top of the table... which will put all sorts of pressure onto Atletico ahead of their game.

Indeed! Things look up just so quickly in football, but equally they can all turn to dust in just a few games. 2 or 3 games can put a gulf of distance, not to mention that we'll be meeting Atletico still next month where we can just destroy any gap or any neck to neck distance. Life in football is so stressful:)

Overall Barca improved a lot and might be able to win against Real Madrid but honestly Real did quite a good job vs Liverpool in CL while Barca struggled against Valladolid. Until now I think RM gonna win although I prefer to see a draw

[AakZaki]

Who says Barca is predicted to win? If there are really different odds on that game I am willing to put my money on Madrid. The Clasico is always a big unknown, there are a million things that could happen given the quality of the players, the epic, the motivation... I would not give other than 50/50 to any game between Madrid an Barca even in the worst moment of any of the two teams.

Of course it's Barca supporters. Madrid have great confidence after the 3-1 win over Liverpool at UCL, this has made the madrid players' motivation increase. Maybe they are a little tired, but they will play at home that's the advantage. El Clasico will determine the title competition, whoever wins they will be closer to the La Liga trophy. El Clasico in March 2020 madrid won 2-0, this year hopefully madrid will repeat it. I predict Madrid will Win 2-0 again.

All Madrid fans Let's shout  This is what I will later, Atletico losing. Their point difference was getting closer, they were only 3 points difference. Even though Madrid has a denser schedule than Atletico and Barca, the chance to win is still there. Zidane is a genius coach I hope he can maximize the players . For El Clasico, I hope that Madrid must be able to win, so that this year they can win League trophies and the UCL trophy. Hala Madrid....!

It will be very difficult to do. Especially in El Classico. Real Madrid have three games that will decide the fate of this season. If Real Madrid loses to Barcelona, ​​then you can forget about La Liga. If we do not pass Liverpool, you can forget about the Champions League. Three finals. for Real Madrid.

I agree that Real Madrid will face two important matches in the near future, the first of the Champions League competition. Real Madrid will face
Liverpool, if this match is Real Madrid to lose, it is likely that Real Madrid will lose the Champions League trophy. Then Real Madrid's second match
will face Barcelona, if Madrid lose against Barcelona, don't expect to win the La Liga trophy. But if Real Madrid can beat Liverpool and Barcelona,
the chance for Real Madrid to get a double trophy is very likely. Therefore, Real Madrid players must give their best, in order to beat Liverpool
and Barcelona. Actually I am a little worried about Real Madrid's performance this year, because if we compare it to last year, Real Madrid's
performance has decreased this year. But I believe Zidane has a strategy to win against Liverpool and Barcelona.

We won the first final. The second is in turn. The game against Liverpool was not as difficult as I expected. True, at the end of the match Real Madrid only defended, but this did not prevent them from ending the game with a good result. I think there are chances against Barcelona. It's bad that Varane and Ramos are not will take part in this match.

Real Madrid did a wonderful job undoubtedly. I wasn't expecting a result like this against a team like Liverpool. This means that it will boost their morale a lot before the El Clasico. Barcelona put a question mark in the minds with their performance against Valladolid. But I suppose they will be very focused on the El Clasico also. Because it's a very important match for both teams on the road going to the championship. A draw with goals wouldn't surprise me.

[kawetsriyanto]

The big win of Real Madrid in Champions League can be a good thing for Atletico

The big winning will boost the spirit of all Real Madrid players to do their best in all competition. So, I believe it is not only to bring positive impacts for the next Leg of the Champions League, but it also will motivate them to get the La Liga title. Yep, improving players' motivation or spirit will encourage better performance to play in each remaining match.

If I choose one of two Madrids can beat Barcelona, I will choose Real Madrid.

Sure. Me, too. 
Zidane and Real Madrid players know well how to beat Barcelona.

It's not a weird thing, that's what should happen in a football competition. With many things be unpredictable, La Liga seems more interesting. Now, the point gaps for first place, second place, and third place on the table are very small. So, Atletico, Barcelona, and Real Madrid have the same chance to be the winner this season. Moreover, it is only a few matches left, so they must be careful of losing the points on each match. Not only the next El Classico but each match now is also crucial, they must get the maximum points on each match. 

The big win of Real Madrid in Champions League can be a good thing for Atletico and they will need Real Madrid to go as far as possible in Champions League. The league can take more concentration from Real Madrid and they might have lack of focus on La Liga. They are still the less competitor in three clubs in La Liga and have some reasons to try to win another Champions League.

Atletico can not rely on opponents. They have solve their own problems and try to win as many matches as possible in the 6 matches left.

I believe everything will be determined in the h2h matches between the 3 clubs...atleteco and real madrid will both play against barcelona and i believe barcelona can beat atleteco and at least make a draw against madrid this way they will have the advantage in the standings...atleteco must stop dropping points to keep themself in a good position before barcelona match

You are considering two Madrid teams very low. They are strong and can beat Barcelona in my opinion. If I choose one of two Madrids can beat Barcelona, I will choose Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid can take a draw with Barcelona, win all 5 rest matches and take the La Liga trophy. Can they finish the league like that?

My feelings is that barcelona players are very motived because they had a very bad starting and the club was in a real crisis...now they have the golden  chance to say to the world that barcelona is always the club that make all other clubs respect its name...now its not a question of skills but motivation in my opinion

Barcelona no longer compete in the Champions League so it is actually easier for them because now they can only concentrate on domestic competitions in Spain.
The players are aware that Atletico is currently in crisis and Real is preoccupied with the Champions League and that they were given a great chance to win the title of champion of Spain and will do everything to take advantage of it.

Well, it will all become obvious when we meet and play. I'm really hoping Real will get distracted by their second leg. Wish Liverpool had at least drawn so they would be forced to rest or think about it but now they have a 2 goal cushion and can afford to play full strength against us.

But I guess it doesn't matter in the end. We just have to do our job and win!

I was also quite surprised that Real Madrid could beat Liverpool so easily, especially in the first half was completely dominated by Madrid.
I am not worried that when Madrid face Barcelona they will play without Ramos and Varane, because when facing Liverpool the appearance of
Militao and Nacho Fernandez was solid enough to guard the Real Madrid defense. Even the Liverpool striker found it difficult to get past
the Madrid defense. I am optimistic that Real Madrid can beat Barcelona if we look at Real Madrid's performance against Liverpool in
the Champions League.

They dominated the game but say Real Madrid won that match easily, I don't agree. Champions League and especially since quarter final round, will have results decided by moments. Moments of fabulous strikes or moments of personal mistakes. Like what Arnold's mistake in that match.

Real Madrid can dominate the game but if one or few of their players make serious mistakes, they will lose the game. Fortunately, all were good for them in the first leg.

Liverpool and Barcelona can have different style to begin their matches. Liverpool were very careful and humble in Champions League match. It seems Klopp want to have a draw in Bernabeu and don't believe in their defense system so the coach does not want to play gegen-pressing as usual.

Barcelona might begin the match to win, they will because a draw won't help Barcelona to get anything.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I wonder how Atletico will benefit from the situation that there is an El Clasico this weekend. They are going to play an away game against Betis and it is a tough one for them too. Betis are giving a huge battle for the 6th and even the 5th place and having a good season. But after losing to Sevilla, Atletico can't risk losing points here too. Maybe it could be a little difficult but they will manage to beat Betis, I think. And a probable draw in El Clasico will help them a great deal to be more relieved at the 1st place.

Real Betis will also of course continue to chase points this time Atletico Madrid must be really vigilant about next week's match even though there are still benefits from the results of the El Clasico match but still Atletico's victory must happen this can't be easy Sevilla.
The El Classico match will also continue to be contested in the draw I am not so sure but Real Madrid has stronger ambitions because this is the match at the Bernabeu.

Barcelona will play more aggressively than Liverpool. And I think that Real Madrid's defense will make mistakes and some may lead to a goal. Moreover, Barcelona has a lot of motivation. If they win, they will eliminate a rival in the race for Laliga. Only Atlético will remain. Madrid, but in the face-to-face game they can also beat them.

I think Liverpool is not doing good enough this season to be a challenge for Real Madrid. Reall will go to next stage easily and that is what I think will happen for sure. However one thing I am not entirely sure about is how Barcelona is still seen underdogs when they have been so great recently. I know that they started badly at the first weeks but for the past few months they have been the perfect team and I think they are going to beat Real and they are going to be quite awesome for the rest of the season as well.

You may doubt that but I do not doubt that and I feel like they are going to be much better in the end then they started. I remember they were like 9th at some point, of course it was a short period of time and I do not remember the exact position but they were really doing bad, now they are just one tie away from being the leaders.

[BITCOIN4X]

The El Classico match will also continue to be contested in the draw I am not so sure but Real Madrid has stronger ambitions because this is the match at the Bernabeu.

After Real Madrid won the UCL first leg against Liverpool, many people are probably pretty sure they will win at home to Barcelona in the El-Clasico. I'm sure Madrid have the capacity to beat Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona will definitely not allow Real Madrid to crush chance of becoming at the top. This is a match full of prestige, I will stay with Barcelona lose or win. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have opened hope for Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the title only because they have lost consistency in the previous match and these two team really have to take advantage of the opportunity. I only hope Barcelona does.

[kawetsriyanto]

I am optimistic that Real Madrid can beat Barcelona if we look at Real Madrid's performance against Liverpool

Definitely, Real Madrid has a bigger chance to win against Barcelona. It is not only about Real Madrid players in a good situation after winning from Liverpool, but the match will be at Real Madrid home as well. This will take advantage of Real Madrid, they should play better at home. Zidane knows well how to surprise Barcelona players, so I am also optimistic that Real Madrid will win the upcoming El Classico.

In the context of the pandemic and the lack of spectators in the stands, I would not focus so much on the fact that a home or away match is a match. I also believe that Real Madrid have a better chance of winning this match at this point in time, but this is El Classico and it has its own separate layouts, which do not completely depend on the standings. By the way, it was reported that Cillian Mbappe does not want to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and would like to move to Real Madrid this summer.

I dont really think that way and there is somthing inside me that always make me feel that barcelona will be the champion...the match against is the last hard match in my opinion and if they will manage to get at least 1 point i believe no one can stop them and i see it very easy...the fact that madrid beat Liverpool in the UCL can give them some overconfidence but in the oposit barcelona team havnt anything to gain this year if they will lose the trophy

[slaman29]

Ah Villareal somehow found their way to win with the slim away goal advantage against a club that is actually having such an impressive home record this season. That should give them a super boost in La Liga, but I suspect also this means their performance might take a dip IF they manage to go to semis with the next leg's result.
