La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Pokapoka124]

The game between Atletico and Valencia will be a tough one. Both have a win and a lose recorded under their names and will be seeking all three point to move up the table and close up the gap from Real Madrid and Barcelona. The match is currently playing a goalless draw at half time and I think Valencia will fancy a draw from this game as Atletico Madrid are the favorite to win the game.

I wonder how Valencia and Atletico Madrid will play tonight. I think Atletico should win, but I expect this match will not be easy for them. The statistics of their head-to-head encounters suggest that there is more often than not a serious encounter between these clubs, but usually Atletico win. Although the last games of both clubs have been played about the same.

Atletico Madrid have scored a goal finally. Valencia is playing so good in this match but they didn't able to score. I thought it would be easy win for Atletico Madrid but good performance from Valencia. Match may end up with 1-1 draw in my opinion. Let's watch final 20 minutes for more drama.

There is a big difference between Lewandowski and benzema. Lewandowski is not the type of player who saves the team when the team is on the ground in despair, he usually scores goals very early, but he hardly scores goals in a situation where the team is in despair, and I think that will not change in the barcelona. while benzema is a hero in real madrid, because he scores just when we are in despair.

Exactly agree with this statement, Benzema seems always to be the hero and has a high winning mentality, he can save Real Madrid by giving goal(s) again in the injury time or extra time. He can do it several times so that it is not luck, but this is their talent, their high mentality, and also his performance. But in the number of goals, may be different because whatever the ways of the goals, what ultimately counts is the number of goals.

Now is LIVE,
Valencia vs Atletico Madrid
    0        -         1
Griezmann really gives fae to Atletico in their 66'.
Valencia has good ball possession but they are not accurate and Atletico has good defense.

Atletico Madrid have scored a goal finally.

Yes, the current score is Valencia 0-1 Atletico Madrid.

Valencia is playing so good in this match but they didn't able to score. I thought it would be easy win for Atletico Madrid but good performance from Valencia.

Valencia dominated the ball possession but they cannot make enough shot opportunities. I think Valencia strikers don't play effectively. They should have some goals already if their strikers are smart enough to find a way to score.

Match may end up with 1-1 draw in my opinion. Let's watch final 20 minutes for more drama.

I don't think so. I think Atletico Madrid will have another goal. They seem to play very offensively now after changing some midfielders with strikers.

[Pokapoka124]

Losing Casimero doesn't seem to have any significant impact for Madrid at the moment, although they have to work hard enough to beat Espanyol but it looks like Madrid midfield is still very solid with the presence of Tchouameni, as a central midfielder, Tchouameni is able to become the center of Madrid attack and also bridges when they have to attack and defend, Tchouameni appearance and also one assist in that match is certainly a reason if at this time he is indeed worthy of replacing Casimero.
Btw talking about the goals scored in that match, looks like we will see this season the competition is tough not only between madrid and barcelona, ​​but also between benzema and lewandowski who are now both decisive for their team victory, so far benzema has collected 3 goals from three matches and lewandowski 4 goals from three matches, it looks like the two players will establish a strong rivalry in being La Liga top scorer as was the case between Messi and Ronaldo in the past.

I disagree, losing Casimero will definitely be felt at some level. Real Madrid did their best to prepare and got suitable replacement, the future of Madrid's midfield will now be built around Tchouameni as Casimero replacement and Camavinga whose partnership has been solid every time they are paired.

The statistics of their head-to-head encounters suggest that there is more often than not a serious encounter between these clubs, but usually Atletico win. Although the last games of both clubs have been played about the same.

Atletico Madrid is leading the match with 1 goal against valencia.  Atletico, at this point I don't think it will be possible for valencia to draw the game. It is never a surprise for me for Atletico Madrid to win the game,  Atletico Madrid deserved to score more goals. Valencia has  not been playing impressive game.

[Pokapoka124]

Bilbao are a stronger side, their defence and midfield have been very effective in their last two games conceiving just a goal. Cadiz are currently sitting at the bottom of the table. They have to work more on their conversation rate, when they cannot convert the chances they get in every game it will be difficult to win games because you need goals to win games.

[Ratash]

It seems that another difficult season is coming for valencia team after losing today against atletico madrid at home, this will make it a second loss in a row leaving them with only three points in the 14th position, their mercato was a weak one they did not sign any interesting players which is why they had such a bad beginning of season.

Atletico Madrid have scored a goal finally.

Yes, the current score is Valencia 0-1 Atletico Madrid.

Valencia is playing so good in this match but they didn't able to score. I thought it would be easy win for Atletico Madrid but good performance from Valencia.

I don't think so. I think Atletico Madrid will have another goal. They seem to play very offensively now after changing some midfielders with strikers.

It's full time and 0-1 for atletico madrid , no other goal scored.

Classic atletico who get used to win with tiny margin and always looks a hard fought win despite the domination the whole match by the opponent valencia , crazy to think how simeone keeping this form for years .. i would be mad if i was the club owner to see my own club tortured during the match but getting the 3 points at the end of the game lol.

I always liked Ath Bilbao's play style they used to create a lot of trouble for Barca and Real Madrid when they were winning  matches with 4 goals or more, Ath bilbao was always a feared opponent, they had some okay seasons lately but they started off great this time, we'll see how close they will get to the top 4 at the end

It seems that another difficult season is coming for valencia team after losing today against atletico madrid at home, this will make it a second loss in a row leaving them with only three points in the 14th position, their mercato was a weak one they did not sign any interesting players which is why they had such a bad beginning of season.

Even though I hope that Gennaro Gattuso as the new Valencia coach can make Valencia's performance better. It seems that Gattuso has not found
an effective strategy, because in 3 matches in La Liga, it can be said that Valencia's performance has been disappointing. After all, we can see
the change in strategy that Gattuso made when Valencia faced Atletico Madrid did not go well. In the previous two games Gattuso used a 4-3-3 formation,
and Gattuso tried a 4-2-3-1 formation against Atletico Madrid but nothing changed.

Valencia's first match only won by one goal difference against Girona. Then in the next two matches Valencia lost, even though Valencia dominated
the match against Bilbao and also Atletico Madrid. Unfortunately, Valencia's problem is that their front lines are less productive, from 3 matches Valencia
was only able to score one goal. It was also scored through a penalty kick, it looks like Gattuso must bring in a new striker who is quality and productive
in scoring goals. If not Valencia will have difficulty winning, because they have difficulty scoring goals.

I was really shocked to see this high domination by Valencia today. I really wonder how Atletico Madrid let them play with the ball this much even though they still won by 1-0. Valencia had a 70% ball possession in the match. Thanks to Griezmann the win came to Atletico Madrid but I don't think Simeone is contented with this result. They need to have control of the match if they want to have consistent results throughout the season. I can't even imagine them against Barcelona and Real Madrid now.

[Luqman]

I agree with you on this,  Real Madrid was outstanding last season with this current squad in the team, winning the champions league and Spanish La Liga with the same players and Karim Benzema being the hitman of the team last season. With the current form of the team and the players, Ancelotti has watched their good performance before coming out to say he's ok with the current squad so I think he's players are in their best form now with the main man Benzema still active in scoring goals, I think Madrid is ok and hotter than last season.

Exactly Real Madrid this season will be as amazing as the last season. They still have Benzema and also other players that have high unity as a team. Ancelotti is also one of the most experienced coaches so far. The composition will really make Real Madrid to have also a big chance to be the top two of the La Liga trophy. But now, this season, the journey will not be as easy as in the previous season. Because Barcelona has new talented players such as Lewandowski and other new signings. This means that Bracelona will be also a very tough club to compete

Indeed, they just want a result. Don't care much about beautiful football or attacking football. They have the players to do the job as well, on counters. Valencia had 70% possession through the match but a sturdy defense from Atletico and Valencia just couldnt get through. A hard earned 1-0 win for Atletico while a frustrating loss for Valencia.

[Lordhermes]

Real Madrid has been outstanding so far also in the La Liga with 100% winning rate. Ancelotti already said his team is okay and he doesn't need anymore additions at the moment,  I believe in what he said because his team is actually playing so well and looks like they also understand the task ahead for the season. Benzema's top form has also been a key pointer in the teams performance in recent seasons until now and it seems age is not a barrier in his case.

For now,Karim Benzema is the best striker in the world.Looking at what he has done at Madrid since he arrived in the club.He has scored so many goals but his form since last year has been tremendous helping the team win the champions league and also winning their league.They are following the footsteps they took last season to make  their season a great one.

The season has only been running for 3 weeks, but we can see the top 6 teams in the standings with the usual names last season.
there weren't many surprises at the start of the season, but the standings can still change. Madrid started better. quite productive with 9 goals in 3 matches. Benzema is getting older and sharper in Madrid's front line.

After coming on as a second-half substitute, Griezmann made an immediate impact, scoring two minutes after coming on, and thanks to an excellent performance by Valencia goalkeeper Mamardashvili made several superb saves to prevent Atletico from adding to the tally.

Exactly Real Madrid this season will be as amazing as the last season. They still have Benzema and also other players that have high unity as a team. Ancelotti is also one of the most experienced coaches so far.

Although Benzema is still in Madrid but that doesn't guarantee they will be as amazing as the last season, yes I do not deny Benzema has a big role in front line but this is part of the team's cohesiveness at least midfield and defense has a big role in thwarting the opponent's attack. There have been several changes including Casemiro no longer in midfield, Isco and Marcelo also saying goodbye although the two did not feature much last season but both were part of Real Madrid's achievements last season.

This striker always helping its club at the late game and how best karim benzema is. It's very long time with madrid and his performance never go down like another striker. He was playing very consistent even if when his age was not young again. He was always making goal to the madrid.
Im not feeling doubt if he has become the best striker in the world for this time. That's a very good assets owned by real madrid. The real match against another good striker from barcelona will come soon.
I hope karim can make so many goal against barcelona.

Real Madrid still have several teams that are stronger than just relying on Benzema, currently they are trying several combinations of strategies to find out which is good for defending and attacking because they lost Casemiro who has contributed a lot in the midfield and in the last match madrid used a formation that leaving only one attacker and I think it will be very difficult because at least the attacker needs 2 players to work as a team well.
