La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[hahay]

Something I was worried about actually happened in the Valencia v Espanyol match last night, before I was worried about. Maybe Espanyol can end the curse of not being able to win away against Valencia, but I personally think about Espanyol's situation so far this season which is also not good when playing away. I was happy to see Valencia had a 1-0 lead but unfortunately, a red card for Valencia with a penalty kick for Espanyol 10 minutes towards the end of the match, allowed Espanyol to turn things around. This is something really great for Espanyol, because apart from ending the curse of never winning away against Valencia, it was also the first away win for Espanyol this season.

If Dembele, Umititie, and Coutinho leave the team, Barcelona will not suffer much.

I can agree about Umtiti. Since Barcelona has 6 central defenders, they won't have a problem if Umtiti leaves. While for Dembele and Coutinho, I don't see any other experienced players in their positions. Losing them means Barcelona to rely on youngsters only. I don't know if it will be a good solution for Barcelona performance, although it can be good for Barcelona financial. If they leave, it will reduce Barcelona players' salaries. But Barcelona will lose some players with great talents/skills.

I think Umtiti as senior player in Barcelona but not any coach like with him and now Xavi still not giving chance for him, after Koeman era Umtiti still not get minutes player now he still take more minutes on bench and I think better move to other club during he has chance to top performance, I see Umtiti is better than Pique have slowly on defender area for Barcelona but Xavi still not give chance for Umtiti. Many player will left Barcelona in January window transfer like Countiho, Dembele and Umtiti not in game playing for Barcelona in this season.

I too agree that losing Umtiti and Countiho won’t hurt Barcelona, but Dembele is a special player and they should avoid selling him unless it’s absolutely necessary to do so. Lastly I’m sure that Xavi will try and bring 1 - 3 player’s if he’s able to sell the above mentioned player’s, but I hope he’ll target quality player’s only.

I wasn't expecting this much bad performance from Valencia in their match against Espanyol yesterday. Despite this poor performance, they still managed to score first. But their red card in the last ten minutes caused them to have a disappointing loss. After the red card, Espanyol scored a penalty and scored their winning goal in only 5 minutes. After some weeks, Valencia got a loss in the La Liga. There is only a two-point gap between them now.

I did not expect Valencia's defeat either. I have been watching their unbeaten series of gameplay for a long time. Espanyol's gameplay is weak than Valencia's. Yet Valencia has been defeated. The red card can be considered as the main reason for this.
The Valencia team we've seen in the past, they didn't attack very much. He used to play defensively. And the match would have been drawn 1-1 or won 1-0. Espanyol's players made a lot of attacks after 60 minutes, with Valencia having 10 players making it difficult for them to repel the attacks. And so in the 88th minute they conceded another goal.

I think Umtiti and Countiho are not the main choice in the Barcelona squad at this time, losing these two players is not very influential in Barcelona's game scheme, but in contrast to Dembele who appeared almost regularly with Barcelona but did not reach a contract extension agreement, Barcelona faced a dilemma whether to keep Dembele until the end. season with the risk of being a free agent or selling Dembele in the January transfer window with the option of losing this player early.

Valencia threatened to drop from La Liga which will continue to fall far from the standings. Several chances created also did not make a change in the final score. Now the appearance of Espanyol only needs 2 to 3 points to be able to shift the existence of Valencia and not overflow with Barcelona. Here there will be more and more clubs who are hesitant to go forward and have the opportunity to enter the big 8 zones.

if Barca is thinking of releasing Dembele I think the main calculation for Barca should be to look at the opportunities in this January transfer window. we know how Barca is now trying to solve financial problems. but there is a risk of having to lose the player early as you say.
Barca must immediately improve their squad, otherwise, the current situation might last a very long time. even until the new season begins. and of course, it is a big loss for Barca.

[BITCOIN4X]

I think Umtiti and Countiho are not the main choice in the Barcelona squad at this time, losing these two players is not very influential in Barcelona's game scheme,

These two players can be sold because they are not too used to being played by Xavi. Coutinho failed to reach his best form during his time at Barcelona, ​​but Umtiti had earned the trust of coaches in previous seasons before injuries prevented him from breaking into the first-team squad. Selling these two players could help Barcelona financially I think, it doesn't really matter.

but in contrast to Dembele who appeared almost regularly with Barcelona but did not reach a contract extension agreement, Barcelona faced a dilemma whether to keep Dembele until the end. season with the risk of being a free agent or selling Dembele in the January transfer window with the option of losing this player early.

Xavi and Laporta want Dembele to stay, he is a player who can help Barcelona's attack scheme but so far he has not shown maximum results. Dembele will get more playing time at Barcelona, ​​but he has so many injuries that it has been difficult for him to improve in recent seasons. But he is starting to show himself as an important player this season, he can stay.

I don't know why they both want to keep Dembele. He has never shown that he is a professional player and we all know unprofessional players never touch to their highest ability. We have Balotelli, Robinho, Adriano, etc. Their career can be broken because of their undisciplined traits and the career span of football players is too short. So if they lose a few years, it's too late for them to come back.

Years ago, Balotelli won Golden boy award but now none of us knows where he is playing and what he achieved in last few seasons.

If Barcelona want to get money, of course they have to release Dembele in the January transfer window, because if they keep Dembele then Barcelona will automatically lose money because Dembele contract will expire at the end of June 2022, besides that Barcelona have already got Ferran Torres and Dani Alves, because if Barcelona want to be able to registering these two players with the La Liga football authorities as part of the Barcelona squad this season, of course, Barcelona must release Dembele, because Barcelona have violated the financial fair play rules in terms of the LaLiga spending limit, so the only way for Barcelona to register Torres is to remove the player who earn a lot or pay torres a low salary.

Valencia cannot stop doing this kind of games and simply ruing tickets of betting all over the world  . What happened with the old Valencia ? Because to be honest, when LaLiga began this year , I saw valencia as a force with a great squad that had been sleep in the last years of LaLiga and finally come alive and played a top football like this club should always play. Well...reality hits back harder and last night Valencia did not want a single minute to win that game and of course they lost it.

No one thought that Valencia would lose to their visitors Espanyol. The last 10 minutes of the second half became a nightmare for them. Even though they were actually able to take the lead first, I am forced to say they performed poorly in this match. If they win they will actually be in the top 4 of the standings. But this is the result they have to swallow.

For this year, Valencia is still far from expectations, so it's only natural that they lost the match against Espanyol though. Because his performance in the match in the first half did not reflect their usual game. Moreover, Omar had to get a red card in the minutes that were needed to turn the situation around. At least if you hold back more aggressively, the position could be even.

I have seen very few matches in which Barcelona have benefited in any match by keeping Dembele in the team. Dembele did not live up to the expectations of management. He is injured for most of the season. We don't see a better performance on the field after a long injury holiday. So saving money selling Dembele would be a good decision.
Koeman's decision was to keep Griezmann out of the team.On of the bad decision. He could have sold Dembele and Coutinho. Griezmann is more experienced than these two players, and he wanted to reduce his wages to stay at Barcelona.

Though Valencia had scored a fantastic goal in the beginning, Espanyol just lead it. Yes the first goal was much easier but the second goal was stunning. Paudo just hit it on his forehead on second and it was made. Quick and perfect move from Paudo from Espanyol. Valencia audiences might have been disappointed. Barcelona has to win its next game to withhold its 7th place in the table if not either Valencia or Espanyol would take over based on the performance.

[EdenHazard]

To be honest, the Valencia v Espanyol match is not very interesting... I thought Valencia would have no problem winning, but a red card decided the outcome of this game... Lol, while writing this post, Espanyol managed to score a second goal... Now they're next to each other in the standings...

It wasnt a good day for me i tought they could win today since they are on a good streak but and they have been playing good until that red card foul it was a stupid mistake after that valencia players lost their cool and they lost the game and precious points.

Valencia closed the end of the year with a pretty painful defeat, actually in that match valencia played quite well and even managed to take the lead in the second half, but instead they made a fatal mistake when the game entered the last minute of the game, a foul by Hugo Duro really changed the way match and forced them to accept defeat after espanyo made a remarkable comeback, with this defeat automatically valencia desire to penetrate the top 4 has failed.

it's like a sayonara to european competition for clubs like valencia, villareal and athletic bilbao who keep digging their own grave by playing match after matches inconsitently even tend to shows awful performance.
second year of the covid19 outbreak still wild ..

rayo vallecano and real betis seems eyeing the european competition as their goal, wish them could make it tho!

I'm more interested in fighting for a position in the middle of the standings than fighting for the championship. The distance between their points is really close, and it becomes an interesting spectacle. All teams must be able to maximize every game to maintain their current position. If not, they have to be willing to shift their position.
Barcelona is now in a bad shape, will the match vs Mallorca they can win the game?

[ShowOff]

Barcelona is now in a bad shape, will the match vs Mallorca they can win the game?

Bad in terms of not winning the match is probably not a reason to say they are bad. Barcelona had a good game but struggled to win as they don't have a regular goalscorer in every match. If you can rate their overall performance then I'm sure you can find the reason why I'm saying this.

I can convince myself to see Barcelona win v Mallorca and this should be true. I don't find any reason why Barcelona lost that match unless Mallorca was able to beat any team in the previous 18 match. But I respect whatever you think about Barcelona, ​​this is a game where the winner is decided in 90 minutes.

Getefe will be ready to host Real Madrid tommorow, having gone eleven games unbeaten and winning nine and drawing two of the eleven games unbeaten.
They are indeed seriously minded for the chase of the Laliga this season.
Almost impossible to say Karim benzema won't come on the scoreboard,he has got fifteen league goals this season already.

What's wrong with Valencia? they only lost to Espanyol last night from their last few matches. You can see that Valencia is currently 8th in La Liga.

La Liga matches from next week will be tough matches for Valencia, they will face Real Madrid, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad and Barcelona. Maybe Valencia will drop in rankings here, what do you think?
