La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[BALIK]

Tomorrow's match between Rayo Vallecano and Valencia is going to be really entertaining their fans. Rayo Vallecano performed well in the last game with 3 goals against Mallorca with 3:1. Valencia has drawn its last two games and yes own the 3rd games against villarreal on 30th Oct. So although Villlarreal is at 12th place, the match is going to be challenging between both teams. Lets see.

Ahead of this match, Rayo did have a better stock than Valencia, because in the previous match, rayo was able to get full points after defeating Mallorca, while valencia only got a draw, but even so, rayo should not underestimate valencia, especially Valencia  unbeaten in the last 3 matches including successfully drawing a draw with  Atletico Madrid, in my opinion so far Valencia matches always come with many goals and this shows if their attack line is quite dangerous for Rayo defense later.
My prediction is maybe the match will end in a draw with a score of 2-2.

Rayo Vallecano is currently in 6th place and Valencia is in tenth. Valency is five points behind Rayo Vallecano. But valency has had a really nice unbeaten streak in past few games. I would not be surprised if Rayo Vallecano actually win this match. I actually want Royal Vallecano to win this match because then the points table will become relatively more interesting and Rayo Vallecano will have a strong chance to end in the top 3.

Rayo Vallecano's matches are unpredictable. They have won a number of matches against relatively strong teams. This match is Valencia's home match so they will be a little ahead. In the last 5 matches of these two teams, both the teams have won only one match each and 3 matches have been drawn. This match is also more likely to be a draw. My guess is the match will be drawn 1-1.

you notice a lot of difference, barcelona is playing much better with xavi, this is clear in these last games, they don't have that kind of irritating way of playing they had with Koeman and I can even risk saying that if xavi had been a coach before if Koeman showed up barcelona would be fine, Koeman ruined barcelona. for this game against villareal i think barcelona will win this game, i'll bet on them

It is effect from a new coach and it might not be sustainable. Xavi has huge challenge to come through and Barcelona won't become a different team because of Xavi.

Both coach and players have to work and cooperate with each other to improve results. We have to wait 1 to 2 months to see what Xavi can achieve in Barcelona.

I totally agree with you. Xavi has just taken charge of Barcelona. He will have to give time and after one or two month it will be understood that the Barcelona team has improved or they have deteriorated further. It is foolish to think that the new coach will perform well with the team as soon as he takes charge of the team.

[DU18]

To be honest, I haven't noticed too much of a difference in Barcelona's play when they were coached by Koeman and now that Xavi is the head coach, I have said this a couple of times already, I do not think the problem with Barca currently rests solely on the manager, their present predicament stems from their hierarchy, bad club management is to blame for their poor form and subsequent crisis, as a result of that, they can no longer afford quality players, looking at Barcelona's squad this days, and all you see is a dearth of quality, I think they'll be down for a long time, irrespective of who's their manager.

Having said that, as for their game against Villarreal, as it stands any decent team can get a result when they face Barcelona, and Villarreal is obviously a decent team, thus I'd not be surprised if they get one, or all three points against Barcelona.

Both teams so far have had pretty bad results in the champions league and this shows that both teams are still very inconsistent so far in each of their matches, but I see that now there is a slight improvement in terms of barcelona gameplay, but still many Barcelona shortcomings which may later be used by Villareal to win, in the match against Benfica, it was seen that the lack of coordination among players made it difficult for them to score goal, besides now Barcelona front line seems to have lost its sharpness in scoring goal and of course if Xavi wants to win against villareal later xavi must really be able to fix this immediately.

It is discussed, again and again, You know, Barcelona is facing is not going to be solved overnight or rather by just changing the coach. This problem took a long time to form and also will take out time to be fixed. I really think people should be patient with Xavi and see what he can come up with. Even he is a new coach with less experience than most others. So he should be given time as he is also working with a relatively weaker squad than Barcelona normally has.

At first Xavi's experience is low. Secondly, the Barcelona squad is not very strong. The team is becoming young dependent and the star players are comparatively few. In that case, we would not expect much from Xavi. If Xavi can keep Barcelona in the top 4 of the points table by the end of the season, I think it's a big achievement for Barcelona.

Barcelona are currently 10 point behind Real Madrid who lead the standing with a total of 30 point in 13 match. For the next match Barcelona will be tested by Vilareal who is currently not in good form after only winning 1 time in 5 match. Xavi has managed to lead Barcelona to win the match vs Espanyol last week, so I don't expect them to struggle in this match even though Barcelona failed to get full point in the Champions League this midweek.

I think Barcelona will win, but Vilareal should not be given the chance to score because it will only make the situation more difficult for Barcelona. Barcelona have had to work hard to score goals in many matcg this season, so I think Xavi an overhaul of the game strategy should be done in this match.

Two matches that Barcelona have gone through under Xavi Hernandez as coach have had difficulty scoring goals, during their debut match against Espanyol Barcelona failed to score through open play and could only score one goal through a penalty. The second match when playing in the champions league faced Benfica where Barcelona had to settle for a goalless draw and this proved that Barcelona's front line was still very lacking in creativity. It could be that the match against Villareal Barcelona will find it difficult to score again and the match could be a draw.

My predictions for this weekend Laliga games
Villarreal Vs Barcelona 1-2

Real Madrid Vs Sevilla 2-1

I will keep an eye on the two matches between Villarreal vs Barcelona and Real Madrid vs Sevilla. One can only guess how much Barcelona has been able to adapt to the new coach, given the performance against Villarreal. Sevilla, on the other hand, could rise to the top of the points table if they can beat Real Madrid. Sevilla will definitely want to occupy the top spot in the table. It will be the most competitive match of the day.

It is clear that Real Madrid's position is not for Barcelona to pursue, they are already far behind and must focus on the clubs in front of them like Rayo and Real Betis with a difference of only 5 points. Playing against Villareal is not just a chance to steal points but to test how effective Barcelona are under Xavi control.

So far Real Madrid and Sevilla have only lost once in the last 13 match so it will be a tough match for both teams in Laliga. If Madrid lose, Sevilla will lead the table and it will be much more interesting in the title race.

Meanwhile in the Vilareal vs Barcelona match I think Barcelona will claim an easy win regardless of how many goals they score. In any situation Barcelona have always been favorite in matches against team other than Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid this season even though at this time they often failed to get maximum point. In an effort to catch up on the difference in point from the leader of the standing, Barcelona must win all match so far.

‍I'm surprised the odds offered by the bookmakers in this match are pretty fair:
2,75 - 3,45 - 2,60
Until then, Barcelona was largely overvalued. Added value to this match is that it will be possible to compare in absentia the strength of Barcelona and United, which recently won the away match against Villarreal.

These two clubs have almost the same fate, but whether the bookie's offer is real, can be proven later in the match or just the cost of a big bet. Barcelona is in its infancy, while Man United is just getting started, although it has yet to find a clear point about who deserves to manage this great team. On the other hand Xavi has started to adapt well when United was still in a floating state.

Real Madrid are the current leader of the La Liga and they seem to be very determined about winning the league title at the end of this season. Their big effort in each match is just amusing to watch for me. But they have a really strong opponent ahead of them two days later; Sevilla. Because Sevilla are also in a similar condition to Real Madrid now and they are two points away from Real Madrid. I have seen a quite interesting statistics like Sevilla couldn't have beaten Real Madrid in Bernabeu since 2008 in the La Liga.    This is also a good point to consider and I assume Real Madrid will defeat them by one goal.

This is a game i am looking for it will give a big advantage for the winning team especially for sevilla it will put them on the first spot both teams are doing good recently with a small advantage for real madrid i think it will be a btts and maybe sevilla can manage to take points from real madrid but i am not optimistic.

Sevilla, on the other hand, could rise to the top of the points table if they can beat Real Madrid. Sevilla will definitely want to occupy the top spot in the table.

Villarreal are probably in their worst form, and Barcelona should be able to win this match with many goals. Although, they have to be well prepared, as it is an away match. Villarreal performance are unstable, while it seems Barcelona are gradually improving their performance ever since Xavi took over. Anyway, how they plays tomorrow will determine that.  
Real Madrid vs Sevilla is definitely a tough match. And it quite difficult predicting who wins, as both of them are at the top 4 on the standings. But, if Real Madrid lost in the game, It will surely affect their position, and they won't want that to happen. So, I will go for 1X.

[Pulsar77]

I guess that I would watch the Real Madrid - Sevilla game most probably at the weekend. Because I'm feeling like that this is going to be quite enjoyable. They both are performing very solid and they both deserve to be at their current positions in the standings. But in Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid have a big advantage against Sevilla. They were victorious against Sevilla mostly in those games. Bale, Ceballos, Militao and Valverde aren't expected to play at Real Madrid. En Nesyri and J. Navas aren't expected to play at Sevilla. There are some questionable players at both teams also. I think that Real Madrid will get another win against Sevilla and keep their predominance over them.

[baeva]

Barcelona have not shown their best form yet, but they will try to do their best to get back on track. Xavi's first match in Laliga was quite successful even with only 1 penalty goal, but they started the game well so I think it's good to pay a little attention to this match. I'm not sure about the draw, but Barcelona will win again this time.

Barcelona don't have a bad squad. Many of their players are star players and key players at their national teams. It means they have good quality and problems in Barcelona are how did they can not show off their best quality in a same team?

It can be their own problems or their coach. Xavi need to figure it out and fix it to improve their performance first, then result. I know defense system of Barcelona is not good and they can protect their goal keeper but to say their defense is very bad, it is not true.

As for the defense, I agree with you, if there is anything to improve and change, not much. The problem is the chemistry of the team, most likely because they do not have the missing links for success or weak links in the lineup, most likely Xavi can fix it. Plus, by the way, I never understood why Alves came back, maybe the old man can still show a master class?). Management will surely thank him for playing for free, you can see he plays for fun and for the good of the team, not for the money)

In an effort to catch up on the difference in point from the leader of the standing, Barcelona must win all match so far.

With regard to the current Barcelona, I would be very careful to apply such a concept as an easy win You can talk as much as you like about the fact that Barcelona has already lost a lot of points and you need to catch up with the leaders by winning the remaining matches, but you can also talk about Barcelona's rivals, especially since Villareal's victory will allow you to get close to the same Barcelona. Therefore, given Barcelona's playing problems in recent matches, Villarreal can count on a draw at least. In theory, we can expect a very hard match between Real Madrid and Sevilla, given what positions the teams occupy and what consequences there may be if one of the clubs loses. Still, I will give some advantage to Real Madrid, given the home status of the match and I think that Real Madrid at least will not lose.

Xavi should be able to find gaps where the problem lies in his squad so that their game is so ordinary even though there are many great players in it, I think this really needs some changes defensively and it's impossible all at once so Barcelona can find the old game again.
The arrival of Dani Alves was probably Xavi's desire to come to Barcelona and in the end he was very happy with the offer despite not thinking about money in this regard.
Xavi still needs Dani Alves.
