La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Porfirii]

But so far Bilbao is very good when facing a weak team to win, so when facing a strong team they are not burdened with having to win. Because Bilbao has already collected points when facing a weaker team.

People from Bilbao would say that there are no strong teams because all the rest of the teams are weak compared to Athletic Club. Well, it is a joke, but they are known for their funny arrogance.

You are right, they are collecting points now that will be very valuable afterwards in la Liga.

[Yurkov]

Real Madrid will find it difficult to face Atletico Madrid because Carlo Ancelotti is not expected to include the injured Karim Benzema and Barcelona's 3-0 win over Elche FC could be a burden for Real Madrid in my opinion.

If you look at Atletico's several games, in fact, they are also not very good. But I think Atletico have a high motive if they meet Madrid. There is a prestige that they must win. So indeed the match will be quite difficult to predict.
Benzema's injury will probably dampen Madrid's strength. But I think they still have a midfielder ready to make goals. Because I also know they don't have a striker as good as Benzema for the time being. I hope Madrid are able to win and return to the top of La liga. Because at this time Barcelona has 1 point more than Madrid.

It's a Real Madrid game without Benzema, and I'd like to see Carlo Ancelotti put his strategy into action when he loses his top striker. Of course this will add to the work of Real Madrid, but we know how Real Madrid is without a Benzema. I'm sure Ancelotti has prepared for this, so we'll see if the strategy works well or not.

Benzema is one of the players of Real Madrid team. I have never seen Real Madrid play without Benzema. But Atletico Madrid is a very strong team. It is only a matter of time to see what the Real Madrid coach can achieve with Benzema out of the squad.

The match between Villarreal and Sevilla ended in a 1-1 draw. Sevilla had 55% possession during an exciting match. A free-flowing game played between the two teams, with short and long ball passes landing in the penalty area. Oliver Torres' goal for Sevilla in the eighth minute gave them the lead in the first half while Villarreal's only goal came in the 51st minute by Alex Baina. With this result, Villarreal are 6th in the standings and Sevilla are 15th.

And Rodrygo is the strongest candidate to replace Benzema up front
Looking at the line-up against Leipzig yesterday, in today's match against Atletico Madrid it is likely that Carlo Ancelotti will again use a combination of three strikers Rodrygo, Valverde and Vinícius
The last time Real Madrid lost 0-1 from Atletico last season, and this will be the first meet between the two since the new La Liga season, opportunities for revenge are open for Real Madrid.

I believe that the team that caused the accident in the Madrid derby will be Real Madrid. Atlético Madrid is definitely a great team. They are also very strong but not as strong as Real Madrid. Football is not always thought of, but I am thinking of placing a bet that will win Real. They are doing great in La Liga this year.

[Minecache]

Ath Bilbao won today and i have to say im impressed with how good they are so far in the ligue, with this win today they are temporarily in third place, and they are better than Sevilla and Real Sociedad so they might end in the season in a CL qualifying spot, and at least 5th and qualify for the Europa Leauge.

It was a really great match, and Athletic Club could've won by a bigger margin taking into account how well they played.
Although it is a team a bit irregular, I hope great results for Athletic de Bilbao this year in La Liga. Time will tell, but a third position in the ranking is awesome.

we are still at the beginning of the season, still very far from it all. but seeing Bilbao's performance is quite impressive. can even compete with Betis and Atletico.
The win against Rayo was very important, they played under pressure but could take every opportunity they had. despite falling behind early on, Bilbao came back and proved they weren't finished. a positive result for Bilbao, hopefully, they can stay consistent.
In another surprising match, Osasuna had to fall behind 0-1 to Getafe. Osasuna had to play with 10 men after Avila got a red card at the end of the first half. The fight is still on, but it will still be quite difficult for Osasuna.

It was a great match with a lot of fireworks from the players. It would have been a far more interesting match if the goal at the 67th minute was allowed. But it was rolled out because of an offside decision by the VAR. And I have to say I thought there was some hope for Rayo Vallecano when Falcao scored in the 79th minute. But in the end, it was a really good performance from Athletic Bilbao to make sure that they get all the three points that they need. This has been a good performance from them this season. Athletic Bilbao is in the third position in this season's standings. I have been impressed by their performance. But they will have to be consistent to stay at the top of the table.

Athletic Club played well today. I like their style of play. They played both offensively and defensively. The athletic club game is getting better than before. Williams, one of their team's players, scored 2 goals to ensure their victory.

[Velvet78]

Actually this was a deserved game for Villarreal as they were much better than Sevilla. Maybe Sevilla had more ball possession but Villarreal found many more big chances than Sevilla to score. Sevilla found the goal in their only shot on target. They were really on their lucky day. I was also expecting Villarreal to win but wasn't brave enough to bet on them as it was still a tough game for them. I think that this doesn't change much thing for Villarreal. They are still a powerful team in this season and one of the biggest candidates of top 4.

Football is not always thought of, but I am thinking of placing a bet that will win Real. They are doing great in La Liga this year.

The derby match will always be an interesting spectacle, because both teams have the ambition to prove who is the best between them. Even though Atletico Madrid is not in very good shape but they certainly have a very strong motivation and desire to beat Real Madrid. So it will not be easy for Real Madrid to win against Atletico Madrid.

[KTChampions]

Madrid has several times playing without Benzema this season and they can through it without any problem and for Vinicius indeed he is top scorer for Madrid with 4 goals but he more likely played as a winger and today if there is no Benzema usually Ancelotti played Rodrygo on center striker although his not too sharp but he can playing well on that position and regarding bet option Real Madrid is on fire they can get 100% wins results in all competitions during this season so i dare to bet for them because i am sure 3 points will belongs to them

2.28 for Real Madrid's victory looks really tempting, apparently such a generous odds are given due to the absence of Benzema and the historical background of this confrontation. Because in general, Atlético right now does not look like an equal opponent for Real Madrid. The only danger for Real Madrid is to draw, if Rodrigo plays in Benzema's place, I'm not sure that he will be comfortable in Atlético's dense defense and that he will have enough chances there.

[Sirait]

A little disturbed without Benzema up front, Ancelotti was forced to rest Benzema with a knee problem against Celtic the week before but I don't think that's a big deal, Real Madrid are the only Spanish team to win without relying on a star player.
Atletico Madrid want to break the positive trend of Real Madrid who are unbeaten in La Liga, but it looks like they are not in good form to do that, I believe Real Madrid can get the three points.

Simeone said that ATM's chances of winning in this derby are very small even though they are the hosts as the ATM squad's confidence has not bounced back after they lost in the UCL match to Leverkusen. Madrid so far unbeaten (only Barca are capable) so I'm also sure Madrid will win this match smoothly, maybe 2-0 will be the final result of this match.

Sevilla's performance at the start of this season was quite bad, I think their attacking line played so weak that they couldn't create dangerous chances. but this draw is quite wort it considering the quality of the two teams is comparable, this is a fierce and very interesting match.
However, Sevilla's still holding on to 15th in the standings means they have to improve a lot to get back to the top of the standings.
Sevilla is actually a team that is counted on to occupy the top flight but in reality they have started the season very poorly.

Villarreal had six chances to shoot on target, but unfortunately didn't score more than one goal for them, while possession was won by Sevilla by a small percentage, the match was quite difficult and both clubs attacked each other, five Sevilla players were given a yellow card by the referee in the match for committing violation.
Five important saves were made by the Sevilla goalkeeper, which saw them avoid defeat and earn a point in the game.

This draw puts Sevilla in 15th place with five points, the next match will be even more difficult for Sevilla, because they will face Atletico Madrid on 01 October.

But Atletico Madrid have the ability to return to form at any time. They are now desperate to win the match. Real Madrid's defense will be somewhat relaxed without Benzema. However, Real Madrid are likely to win. If Real Madrid actually win today, they will be more confident.

Seeing Real Madrid's current performance without Benzema's presence, I am quite optimistic about it.
They still have Hazard in center forward with Rodrygo as winger and Valverde as attacking midfielder. Another option is Rodrgo can be used as a center forward and Valverde or Asensio can be a winger.
Currently with several young players who can play in several lines, Ancelotti is actually very easy to set up strategy.

Benzema is the pilar of Real Madrid.  If he leaves Real Madrid and the club is unable to get someone that is as good as him it will affect the club in performance.  The laliga title Real Madrid
 won last season Was because of Benzema, same thing with the Champions League.

[sana54210]

This is why Ancelotti should have more options, but I think even without Benzema Madrid can still win the game. Against Atletico Madrid, it may not be easy but at least I believe the formation that now exists as a Madrid striker can penetrate the defense built by Simeone.

Besides, Barcelona's victory over Elche was still not enough to secure their position in the first standings. Because it's not easy to compete with Real Madrid. There will be a competition to collect goals between the two. The difference of 1 point is not difficult for Ancelotti and his team to take back the first position.

But while I have not seen the potential of players who can replace Benzema up front, at least until this match starts and I see who players can really replace Benzema's position in the line up.
And it's true, the advantage that Real Madrid currently has is that they are supported by quality players in every line. Especially their midfield, we know that their midfielders are ready to serve whoever is in attack.

The midfield and the wings are already solid, the defense could use some work to be fair, but it is not too bad neither, and their goalkeeper is amazing, only position left that needs to get younger is Benzema at striker and he is so good that they can't really get anyone who would be decent there. They tried to get Mbappe as we all know but PSG offered the deal of all deals to him, about half a billion dollars worth of contract, Real couldn't match that and to be fair shouldn't have neither, could find a good player for much cheaper.

At the end of the day, they could buy like 2-3 young players again, spend a total of maybe 100 million and then they would be a good team for at least 5 more years, with small changes here and there, that's not something you get to see that commonly, a team that gets younger but still dominates.

Real Betis 2-1 Girona

Real Betis managed to continue their winning streak. Managed to beat Girona 2-1. Girona got a 1-0 lead by scoring in just 7 minutes. But in the 15th minute, Borja Iglesias equalized the match 1-1 by scoring from the penalty spot. Both teams are playing defensively in the first half. And we didn't see any more goals. In the 71st minute of the second half, Borja scored another goal to give Real Betis a 2-1 lead. Betis then secured their victory with a defensive strategy.
 
With 15 points from 6 matches, equal points with Real Madrid, the third team in the points table is now Real Betis. Real Betis are 5 points ahead of Atletico Madrid and 10 points ahead of Sevilla. I think they can qualify for Champions League this season.

[AakZaki]

Barcelona continues to show good performance. so it's no wonder now barcelona is at the top of the standings. so that real madrid is now in position 2 standings. but later Real madrid will play Atletico madrid and I think Real madrid can win this match. because considering the condition of Atlético Madrid which has decreased slightly in its recent game performance. and if Real madrid win in that match then it means Real madrid will be back at the top of the table.

I also think that way. But this is the derby of the city of Madrid, so there are always surprises in the final result. But if you look at Atletico Madrid's few games, they are not as good as last season. It even seems that they have not been able to compete in the top flight of the league. They didn't do much of a player revamp, so they fell behind. Although Madrid also didn't buy many players, they were still able to play well. Barcelona is currently ranked first in the class, a 1-point gap with Madrid. I think there are a lot of chances for Madrid to be able to regain the top of La Liga. Perhaps the next determination will be made when Barcelona and Real Madrid play in the first and second half of the league.

It was no benzema no party but now it seems eden hazard rising back , on his way to latest chance to get the old prime hazard at premier league , despite im a bit more to going to bet for a draw ... real madrid are indeed favorited still to win the game , everyone concern are on how benzema missing this match.

Hazard will start from the bench and could be the super-sub! Hopefully , just be ready when real madrid conceded first , winning from behind on real madrid always giving me a different luck!

With 15 points from 6 matches, equal points with Real Madrid, the third team in the points table is now Real Betis. Real Betis are 5 points ahead of Atletico Madrid and 10 points ahead of Sevilla. I think they can qualify for Champions League this season.

Betis last season also had a good start and just when there were last few games they started to drop in performance so I won't be surprised if history repeats itself, so far there are many teams that are still struggling to stabilize the team that because they sold players and bought other players who still haven't adapted to the team but in the next transfer window they can buy more players and that will change the whole way the teams play, so I think it's still too early to believe that Betis can get a place for the Champions League and if Atletico today manages to beat Real Madrid, their next game will be against Sevilla, which in a way they could win, but the luck of Betis is that in the next game they will play against an opponents who have moderate form and who it is within the reach of betis to win, with that betis could still remain in the 3rd position

At the end of the day, they could buy like 2-3 young players again, spend a total of maybe 100 million and then they would be a good team for at least 5 more years, with small changes here and there, that's not something you get to see that commonly, a team that gets younger but still dominates.

even if they bring 3 or even 10 players if they are not players capable of replacing benzema then they did nothing. one of the big problems now is getting an excellent player to replace bezema. but this will not be an easy task, at least for now, real madrid can still be fine as it is, but 1 year from now they will have to make profound changes in the forwards because barcelona have a good attack and real madrid will not be able to guarantee that benzema play so well in 1 year due to his age, a few days ago the franca coach released the list of players for the Nations League games and benzema was not called, this league is another problem because it wears out players

I know he is a vital player at Madrid but we also have to be aware that he will not always be fit during the season so indeed they have to reduce it to make Benzema difficult in this case because it is clear there must be an option when Benzema is not there.
btw as I said before Madrid now include Rodrygo in midfield and Valverde on the wings with support from Kroos, Tchouameni and Modric in this Derby.
