La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Jody.Drummer]

Adrián Sánchez: Frenkie De Jong's agent Ali Dursun told Barcelona to send their official wage reduction proposal in writing.​

Good news for Barcelona if they could sort out the problem with de Jong. The season had just started and Barcelona was in Group C in the Champion League with strong teams like Bayern Munich and Inter. Sending de Jong away would be a dumb move cause Barcelona needs a reliable midfielder like de Jong to hold the line. Hope Barcelona manager and player can finally give the wage drama to rest and focus fully on the games.

Barcelona will solve de Jong's problem by any means. Because next season Barcelona aims to win both the Champions League and La Liga titles. And they are in a very tough group in the Champions League. In this situation, if de Jong leaves Barcelona, Barcelona's midfield will be weakened. And so the Barcelona management will try their best to solve the problem with de Jong and keep de Jong in the team.

The simplest way for them to get rid of De Jong actually is by paying all the bills they are in arrears because if it has been paid then there is nothing that can be a strong reason anymore for De Jong and De Jong can leave comfortably.
But it's a different story when they force them to leave without giving the money that should belong to De Jong. Obviously he would insist on holding on until his demands were met.

Bravo, Karim Benzema.
UEFA Men's Player of the Year 2022 for you.
We are also happy even though the team you have strengthened so far is not the club we support.



Congratulations to Carlo Ancelotti too.
Your UEFA Men's Coach of the Year 2022.
You won this award at an old age as a football coach.
You managed to beat Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in England.

Congratulations Karim for your achievements at your age. Benzema should be 36 if I'm not mistaking. I already knew you will win UEFA best player. It was my friend that was being sentimental, he was saying Karim will win Ballon d'or why Kelvin D will win the UEFA best player. I told him Karim will win both. Karim won the champions league even when his club wasn't the favourites, he eliminated all the big clubs with his brace and hatrick, there was obviously no excuse to deny him that position.

It is true, Barcelona is safe to sell De Jong if his salary arrears are paid off. However, until now the problem of De Jong's salary arrears has not been resolved so it is possible that De Jong will last until the end of the season and play in the Champions League with Barcelona. Even if Barcelona are actually capable, then I don't expect him to join a team that only plays in the Europa League because the Champions League is a competition that every player in any team in Europe wants.

Xavi needs De Jong, and for a good career De Jong also needs Barcelona. Both need each other, but are sometimes described differently by the media who want to attract more readers. Actually I don't agree with Barcelona's transfer policy which slightly ignores the issue of player salaries and focuses on transfers, but that's the best way to build a team at this time even though sacrificing some things that shouldn't be.

[bering]

Sevilla had a problem with their consistency this season because maybe their new players who purposed as replacement of Jules Kounde and Diego Carlos still took time to adapt and it proven from the last 2 matches against mediocre teams Sevilla was failed to win and today against Almeria they should be utilized this match to get their first winning this season and Sevilla had good opportunity to get 3 points today because Almeria condition also not better than them and Sevilla had decent odds to bets @2.09

If De Jong leaves Barcelona at the moment, Barcelona's midfield will become unstable. And can't even find a worthy replacement for Xavi de Jong at the moment. And this is why Barcelona is not interested in selling de Jong. De Jong, on the other hand, has been at Barcelona for a long time. He has adapted well to Barcelona. At the moment, he will not be able to easily adapt to any team in the Champions League. So De Jong also wants to stay in Barcelona.

Barcelona spent a lot of money to sign players. But they don't know how Barcelona will pay these star players high wages. Barcelona has already borrowed a lot of money. How Barcelona will overcome their financial crisis is still uncertain.

you are right, xavi still needs de jong's services and de jong is in dire need of barcelona for a good career. actually I agree with what you said, sometimes the sports media describe it differently so that we readers assume there is a big dispute going on there, maybe what happens is not as described in the media news.
but despite all that, if we look at the two barcelona matches, xavi still includes de jong in the barcelona starting line-up I still have great confidence that de jong will not leave barcelona.
but everything can still happen, if you see that Barcelona still needs funds to stabilize its financial balance and the closing of the transfer window is still left in the next few days.

To avoid the crisis he must make money, here the fans who have to subscribe and watch the games come into it. And they have to win, they have to go to the Champions League and go as far as possible in order to earn more money.
Other ways I honestly don't know how they can do, to make money.

But Almeria also can't be underestimated, even though they lost the first match they could still steal a goal from Real Madrid, yes even though luck was with them at that time because if you look at the chances Real Madrid should be able to score more than 2 goals. Sevilla must be careful and take this opportunity to get 3 points.

In this case, they are actually able to pay De Jong's arrears because they buy players at high prices and they can, so it would be very funny if they couldn't pay De Jong. But indeed we have to distinguish which ones can't pay and which ones don't want to pay
There is no reason for them not to play De Jong while still staying at Barcelona because his performances are still quite good in midfield.

Xavi must also be very aware that De Jong's influence on Barcelona's midfield is huge, the issue of De Jong's transfer to another team is still big even when Barca are able to register kounde

kounde successfully registered because barca sacrificed umtiti to leece, what a good strategy

[Sebas.tian]

Sevilla will defeat Almeria 3-1,  because their players are well organized to work together in all their position to ensure they achieve what they want from this match at the end. No doubt, Sevilla will get their 3 points from this match, because Almeria are still lacking in the area of defense which their coach is still searching for potential defender that is good for that position. If Sevilla can put more effort to their tactics in this match, it will be easy for them to achieve many goals that will give them 3 points at the end of the match.

Real Madrid normally have a comfortable week now but their last result against Espanyol here was interesting. They lost by 2-1 then. Actually they had a big dominance but the main problem was with their finding the target. However things may be different this time after this great start. I still expect a close score actually so maybe this time they can win by 2-1. Both teams to score might be a good option because Real Madrid conceded one goal in each game they played so far.

[xzone]

Real Betis are doing it again! They have a perfect start if they manage to win this game with Osasuna and so far they are leading 1-0 with 2nd half almost over. I think it was more than 20 years ago since Betis had a 3wins out of 3 games but it all depends to keep the current score so I'm curious how this one will go.

Not sure how I missed this match. Just checked when it's ending, and it looks like Real Betis will take the 3 points home, despite one of their players (German Pezzella) getting red carded in the 73rd minute. If I recall well, Real Betis had a good start even last season. The even topped the table for some time

Real Betis started the season really well. They're playing like they played in the 2000s, they've been pretty good offensively up until now. Of course, I am very curious how they will perform in the following weeks, I hope they have a successful season.
I did not think that Ossasuna would not score in this match. It was a result that surprised me a little

I think Real Madrid will easily win the match against Espanyol. They are playing really, really well at the moment and Espanyol is a mid-sized club that can look down rather than up. I foresee few problems. Past results are no guarantee of success, especially not because Real Madrid were simply much better in that match. I think it will be 1-3 or 0-3. Ask me how Barcelona will fare after the sensational 3-3 against Manchester City.

Real Madrid players confidence is very high right now. Which Real Madrid managed to beat Frankfurt in the European Super Cup, then continued
with positive results by winning in two La Liga matches. So Real Madrid must be very ready to face Espanyol in the third week of La Liga, especially
since Espanyol started the season not so well. So it looks like Real Madrid can beat Espanyol easily, although the previous season Espanyol had
a good record by successfully beating Real Madrid when playing at home. And that might motivate the Espanyol players a bit, but I think the Espanyol
win was just luck. And I'm sure Real Madrid won't let Espanyol win again, after all if we compare the last 4 meetings between Real Madrid and Espanyol,
Real Madrid is far superior with 3 wins. Based on that I have no hesitation in betting for Real Madrid to win.

[Z-tight]

Ask me how Barcelona will fare after the sensational 3-3 against Manchester City.

It was only a friendly match that was played since wednesday, and i don't think the players will be too tired after that match because it was not played at a high intensity, the coach made many changes and i don't think any Barcelona player that started that game finished it, so they should be very fresh for their match this weekend against newly promoted Valladolid, and they also don't play until tomorrow. Barcelona are going to have a very comfortable victory tomorrow, it will be easy for them.

[Sirait]

Elche will host the match against Sociedad today, the history of the meeting between the two teams is really unbalanced because Sociedad has won more than Elche. besides that, since this season started, Elche has never won while Sociedad has won once against Cadiz. I predict a narrow win for Sociedad in this match (1-0).

I think that Real will win without any problems and by the way the odds are quite favorable - 1.44. As for BTTS, I would bet on BTTS No with odds of 1.97, since the fact that Real conceded a goal in each game, on the one hand, speaks of a trend, and on the other hand, with a certain attempt, Real should be able to win with a clean sheet.

[fzkto]

I think Real Sociedad will win today against Elche, because Elche's recent games have been going badly to put it mildly. There are doubts about Mallorca and Rayo Vallecano, but I think Rayo Vallecano will also win, although Mallorca is not an easy team that can surprise the fans. And Sevilla should finally get three points against the underdogs. I think Almeria will lose today.

[Porfirii]

Well, Real Betis did well last year, and in the first games has won in this new Liga: there are some strong teams apart from the typical ones who may end in a good position. Look at Athletic de Bilbao, they have some winning sprees from time to time and depending on the year they end very well or very bad. But yes, most chances are for Real Madrid, Athletico and Barcelona, of course.

For this match against Osasuna, actually, the match was balanced enough. Both Osasuna and Real Betis offer their fight quite well. Actually, Ossasuna had more shots and chances to score, but they were mostly not accurate. Real Betis's defense was also quite good this match. additionally, Real Betis could utilize the chance to shot and goal. Fortunately, Osasuna was still not able to score a goal even after the red card on the Real Betis team.

As I said earlier that Real Betis have prepared a good strategy and it is impossible for them to compete only to make a draw and it is proven that the Real Betis vs Osasuna match was won by Real Betis who are one goal ahead of Borja Iglesias and in my opinion this is strong evidence that Real Betis Betis have the strength to compete.

That's the beauty of football: although there are some big teams with a really big budget (well, not the case of Osasuna ), it is true that strategy, motivation, chance... and many other factors have a great impact in the number of goals, making relatively little teams like Betis shine, and making bets on them more difficult too.
