La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Razmirraz]

I think, Benzema is among the talented strikers that made Real Madrid unbeatable in this season, because he always play to give the team the best that will make their fans happy at the end of the game. Since Benzema has recovered from injury to be part of their next match, I think it will be difficult for Ossasuna to defeat Real Madrid, because Benzema will like to score goals that will bring victory to Real Madrid. I don't think, Ossasuna can draw this match 1-1 with Real Madrid because their coach will not allow such thing to happen in this match than to use some players that know how to score early goals to play first half.

Look, Lewandoski can compete very well with Benzema in terms of skill. He is also a talented player and inclined to score many goals (and few on penalties)
So keep an eye on him too, for me he deserves the Golden Ball

Luckily for Barcelona because Lewandowski was able to adapt well immediately, he immediately became popular in La Liga thanks to the skills shown when executing the ball into a goal. Now he is in the top position in the list of top scorers with 8 goals that have been carved since his arrival to Barcelona.
Players like Lewandowski need special escorts from opposing players because if he escapes it can be a nightmare for the opposing team, Lewandowski presence in La Liga is Benzema competitor for the title of top scorer this season, because the quality shown by Lewandowski will make him the top scorer of La Liga this season.

It seems unrealistic to me to see Messi in Barcelona again. I wouldn't say that Messi is a bad player. But he is old enough now. Barcelona needs a regular scorer now. It will be difficult for Messi to maintain his fitness now. Moreover, Messi's wages are still very high. Barcelona management is not able to pay so much wages. Xavi is probably expressing interest in Messi joining Barcelona to please Barca and Messi fans. But I don't think Xavi will take such a decision.

If it's a fitness issue I think Messi is still worth considering, but to return to Barcelona is still a difficult thing for us to see after his contract is over. I think even if Messi plays again at Barcelona he will still be productive regardless of his age and fitness form. Because if we compare Messi with his eternal rival (Ronaldo) now Messi has shown that he can surpass him.
Apart from that case, I also see that now Barcelona is losing a lot of players, possibly quite dangerous both in terms of their position in La Liga and their biggest challenge in the Champions League. 4 players who required Xavi to think even harder in order to adjust the void.

Considering the fitness, Messi has still managed to maintain quite good fitness. And he has continued to perform well in the PSG and Argentina squads. But if Barcelona wants to take Messi in the team then Messi has to be compared with Lewandowski. Can Messi continue to perform as well as Lewandowski? I think Messi will be far behind Lewandowski now. However, Messi can perform well as Lewandowski's substitute.

Maybe Messi wants to retire in Barcelona. He will probably spend the last year of his career with Barcelona. But it cannot be said for sure yet. Xavi may be interested in keeping Messi in the squad. Because he has played with Messi for a long time. But Barca management will be interested in taking Messi again? It seems very unlikely to me.

I think in football anything can happen, who would have thought that Ronaldo could play again for Manchester United, which was reported to be going to City at that time, but it turned out that he still went to Manchester United as a club that has made his name, as well as Messi, who we know is one of the best. a player who has a special place in Barca heart.

[Lordhermes]

it will definitely be a hot transfer between Barcelona and PSG.

Messi is a great player, and he is already a part of the great history of Barcelona. Barca is not short of players at the moment I think. even with Lewandowski up front, Barca is already very good.
if it happened, either it would be a good buy for Barca or not. Xavi is of course currently thinking about how best they will achieve the target this season.

Xavi should concentrate on developing his youth team into world-class players; he has the ability to transform young stars. Messi's return to Barcelona will undoubtedly have an impact on the locker room. Messi left Barcelona enraged; he had never wanted to leave. He reduced his pay in order for him to stay, but the Barcelona management refused. He has lost his relationship with Barcelona.

Better for barcelona to pay its debt rather than always thinking to bring back messi. The team that may go bankrup must not try to take something that doens't needed at all. Bringing back messi will always make the team in the worst situation.
The team itself can't even pay salary some of its player and thinking to bring back messi to the camp nou is unrealistic decision that i have ever seen

xavi should focus on  his youth
Team, develop them into world class players,   xavi has that ability of transforming young stars. Singing 2messi back to barca will definitely affect the dressing room. Messi left barca with anger, he never wanted to leave . he cut down his pay for him to stay, but the barca management  could not resist psg offer. He has lost his relationship with barca, beside that he doesn't have the fitness again to compete in barca. Singing messi back will be worse singing to the team at the moment.

@Lordhermes the fans of Barcelona yet adore him, and signing him back will help the current president win the next elections hence I expect Barcelona to go all out and sign him. Furthermore Messi will be a great influence on Barcelona’s player’s, hence it’s a simple decision if he’s available then Barcelona should definitely sign him because he’ll yet be able to help them win some more trophy’s.

Sevilla's performance at the start of this season was very poor with 1 win from 6 matches and is currently in 15th place, although Atletico Madrid have not been convincing this season, Atletico's statistics are better than Sevilla. Until matchday 6, Atletico Madrid won 3 of 6 games, 1 draw and 2 loss I think this time Atletico Madrid seems favorite to win. Unbelievable with Sevilla's performance this season compared to last season's successful finish in 4th place at the end of the season.

Agree. Sevilla performance is beyond expectation, they played very badly. I don't know what's happening with this team, they are very weak in all lines. I think the problem is with their tactic, Sevilla must consider changing their coach. Now, they are in 15th place, they can drop to the relegation zone if there is no change in their performance. I hope Sevilla management evaluates the coach, then changes him to a better coach.

Sevilla start of this season was surely one of the worst as they completely fail to give any impression but in last two matches they are on good run with having good win in away match against Espanyol and then stunning draw against Villarreal which is surely best from start of this season it's good improvement for them, and now they are going to host Atlético Madrid which is also having not good start but here things could be tricky for both teams because both are looking for better performance and points.

Against Atlético Madrid at home Sevilla has good history, and they can turn their fortune into good because with the win of this match surely they are going to be on right track because they need positive result from this match which is surely possible, but they have to perform extraordinary because with this performance it's not going to be good for them and having win from this match.

[redsun114]

In my opinion, Messi's main focus at the moment is PSG and the world cup which will take place during November. Maybe he will make a decision about his future after the world cup is over, about a return to Barcelona it's just a rumor that there is no certainty.

Regardless of what his goal now is, Messi's focus is on PSG and the World Cup.
We know what Messi's attitude is when it comes to his country so it is certain that he will be very serious in the world cup especially this could be his last world cup.
As for PSG, his performance now can be said to be better than before so there is no reason for him to think far away with the contract that is still at PSG.

Right now Messi is playing his career's last few seasons just because of this we can expect something good from him for his current club PSG and country Argentina where they are going to play world cup after two months and right now they are at their best which is good for them because he is the legendary player and just missing world cup from his wallet which can bring him to the new highs of this game but sadly this all is never been easy because too many teams are at their best, and they can ruin his this last world cup as well.

But, as many are feeling he is having any intention for Barcelona it's never been true because he can't think about this right now just giving his focus to his best results which are more important than thinking about Barcelona and other things which are just rumors and having nothing positive for him.

This is very happy news for Real Madrid as well as their fans, as they will be seeing their team perform with the potential for excellent results coming back. If he plays in the match against Osasuna, I think it would be better if he came on as a substitute in the second half with the purpose of seeing his progress after the injury. Then against Shakhtar Donetsk he could be played in full. BTW, what is your score prediction in this Real Madrid Vs Osasuna match later? Can Real Madrid win with a score that is far enough away? 3 - 0 for example.

Real can win both 4-0 and 2-1. Any result is possible, even without taking into account whether the main team or the team with some reserve players will play. If this game was not after the international break, then I would bet on the victory of Real Madrid with a handicap of -1, but most likely -2, but since this is not such a game, it may be generally worth waiting for the game to start and make bet in live mode.

I see no way to call Osasuna weak. Osasuna's performance this season has been fairly stable. They are now the fifth team in the table after winning 5 out of 6 matches. And so it cannot be said that Real Madrid will win easily. However, they have not lost a point in any match so far. However, teams often perform erratically after a long break. And so I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid dropped points for the first time in the season.
This is Real Madrid's home match. Real Madrid is strong at the Bernabeu. Madrid is also unbeaten in their last 15 matches against Osasuna. However, Madrid drew 0-0 in the last home match. So Osasuna will play the next match with the goal of a draw.

I don't think Real Madrid will have a hard time winning the match against Ossasuna even though Benzema is not available. Real Madrid with better quality players will be very easy to dominate the match and score goals but I hope Ossasuna is not too weak in the match. Vinicius, Valveldre, Rodrygo are in good form and I think they are reliable too.

So far Ossasuna have won 4 of 6 matches, and until the 6th week their defense is still pretty good with only conceding 5 goals. I can hope Ossasuna does well even though Real Madrid are the favourites. 3-0 is possible, but Ossasuna might also score this away match.

If you realize it, Barcelona never prioritized paying off debt, they were more concerned with the prestige of having a luxurious squad. If I realize too, there are no players who protest with Barcelona's situation like that even, Miralem Pjanić is willing to let go of Barcelona's arrears so that he can get out of Barcelona's ties. It was as if no one could protest against Barcelona's situation and even some of them didn't seem to have the power and effort to lead to a settlement. Worse yet, even though Barcelona have such chaos but there are still many players who are willing to sacrifice to join Barcelona for example like Lewandowski, Rapinha and Koundé and even, at that time Koundé was too late to be registered. Therefore, if you say Barcelona's debt is basically like a problem that can't be solved but strangely enough, it's such an easy problem to cover up and not even get picked up by the media.

Seems last announcement from Real Madrid social media about Karim  Benzema have back training with the team and still not update yet he can play against with Osasuna or not depending he got injury and still need recovery time. Not problem for Real Madrid without Karim Benzema because last winning before break out from FIFA matchday against with Atletico Madrid success won with Rodrygo replacement for Karim Benzema position.

Depending on stable position standing seems Osasuna is not easy for Real Madrid with impressive performance in this season won 4 of 6 match, could be warning for Real Madrid never underestimate with Osasuna because have chance to stop Real Madrid winning record in 6 games before.

[bestcoins1]

Yes Osasuna is not a weak team today they are ranked 5th in the standings but when compared to Madrid, Madrid is stronger
Moreover, Madrid still holds an unbeaten record of course they will try to maintain this record therefore I agree with you Madrid will win
Regardless of how much the final score is not important the main target is 3 points.

Comparison between Real Madrid and Osasuna is a bit inappropriate in my opinion, because Real Madrid who are still unbeaten this season are only better suited to be compared to Barcelona for this season. Because Barcelona already has a very good performance and has also improved from last season so it deserves to be compared with Real Madrid which is almost the same in strength this season.

[rahmad2nd]

We can see how far they can play well without their main players in this match. I agree with what you said, Barcelona's game can be judged by this match before the next game which will put more pressure on them. They don't have much time to prepare who will be starting in the lineup. Xavi should already know who those players are, because most of the players he has retained this season have been his picks.

Temporary statistics on paper Barcelona still wins from Mallorca. but that's all we have to keep an eye on, unstable conditions can occur in the field. Mallorca should be sure to lose. However, Xavi can still overcome some of Mallorca front-line players. Lewandowski was lucky not to be absent because in that way Xavi was still able to focus his attack with the center on Lewandowski as the executor. There are still Dembele and Ansupati who can provide a little boost up front.

This match will not be too heavy for Barcelona even though some of the main players are reported to be injured, Barcelona still has several players to be the main starter against Mallorca.
Lewandowski will remain the first choice as Target Man, and he will score in that match.
IMO, it won't be difficult for Barcelona to beat Mallorca, however, the tough game for Barcelona is in the champions league. they have an away game against Inter Milan.
of course Xavi will be at a disadvantage because some of his core players have to rest, and this is clearly not a good situation for them.

In this context it is a meeting between the two, obviously comparing without meeting is something that is not quite right because we all know the quality of Real Madrid. Real Madrid will play the host role, something that benefits them, because 3 days later they have to return to play in the Champions League against Shakhtar in the 3rd match of the Champions League group stage.

[fzkto]

If Atletico win against Sevilla, they will have a great opportunity to stay at the top-5 of the standings, and the match against Brugge on October 4 should not be a serious problem for Atletico. Although I agree that it could be a draw against Sevilla, because statistically they have a lot of draws. The last time Atletico won away against Sevilla was 4 years ago. I was probably too confident that Atletico would win, but I still think they will.

it looks like to take 5th place this week will be a little difficult for Atletico Madrid because the teams in their ranking will face weak teams like Villarreal will face Cadiz and Osasuna will face Real Madrid so if Villareal wins then it is a chance for Atletico Madrid to take 5th place  quite small even though they won the match against sevilla. Sevilla also cannot be underestimated because they are trying hard to stay away from the degradation zone. Meanwhile, Villarreal is sure to be easy enough to get 3 points in the match against Cadiz because Cadiz performance so far has been very inconsistent.

I wanted to say more that it is important for Atletico to get three points to move higher in the standings. Although they have not started this season very well, I think they have a chance to fight for the championship. But for that they need to beat not only weak clubs, but for example Sevilla too. The competition for the title is very tough this season because Barcelona and Real Madrid are in great shape, so it is important to win as many matches as possible!

There was a news said that benzema already recovered and he will comeback with real madrid against osasuna which is a very good news for real madrid as it was getting its beast striker coming back to play with the club. what do you guys think about this? I do believe if benzema can't give all of his best performance. He already recovered from his injury but he may not able to fully play with real madrid. Osasuna seems become a good opponent to test his performance again.

Certainly good news. This will make Madrid better, although in the previous game Madrid had no difficulty when playing without him. Against Atletico Rodrygo performed quite well. In fact he was able to make the opening goal when he won at home to Atletico madrid. I think Osasuna is not a difficult opponent for madrid, so I believe madrid can win 2-0. Coupled with Benzema's recovery I became more and more convinced even though maybe he couldn't perform the full 90 minutes.

So far Rodrygo has played well in Benzema's place, but if Benzema can really come back that's good news for Ancelotti, because he can implement his usual strategy. I believe that even though Benzema has just recovered, he will still be able to contribute to Real Madrid's game, especially in their attack. And hopefully he can really get back into the squad.

It's good that Benzema is back, he's the leader of the team now and his presence on the field is important. By the way, Osasuna is now unexpectedly high in the standings and in 6 matches they conceded only 5 goals, which is even less than Real Madrid. But Real looks much better in attack, especially since the match will be at the Bernabeu, and here it will be very difficult for any opponent to resist Real. I expect Real Madrid to win, but I don't expect many goals in the match.

[S A KHAIR]

I wonder what indicators you used to determine the extent of Messi's influence on PSG's game? In fact he doesn't show anything above average - PSG dominate Ligue 1 and any attacking player in midfield will have a good goal/assist statistic. Even if you compare him directly with Lewandowski, I would say that Lewandowski shows a much better productivity in Barcelona (although again you have to wait for games against strong teams).

Messi is not the main striker in PSG now. So it is foolish to think that he will score a lot of goals. Galtier changed Messi's position. Now I think Messi's main responsibility is to strengthen the bonding between the midfield and forward players. Messi can now be considered a playmaker. And Messi has been able to adapt to the new position quite well. And I think we will see better performances from Messi in the future.

It is foolish to object to the fact that no one wrote. No one suggested comparing the goals of Lewandowski and Messi. The fact is that even if we are talking about Lewandowski and some goalkeeper, we can compare their contribution to the common cause. And the fact is that PSG are so strong in Ligue 1 that in Mbappe's place there could be a bunch of other strikers and have the same statistics as Mbappe, and this applies to Messi too. He does not show anything surprising in the center of the field in the position of the playmaker/under the strikers, the usual average game.

I think that the simple analogy is going to be that Lionel Messi is a talented player. However, right now his team does not require him to score a lot of goals. There are other players who can do that as well.

But in Barcelona Robert Lewandowski was brought in for the sole purpose of scoring a lot of goals and being the finisher of the team. And with the type of competition that PSG faces in Ligue 1, they don't need a lot of goal scorers in the team. But that does not mean Lionel Messi is not capable of scoring goals often. In his recent appearances with the national team Argentina, he has demonstrated that he is more than a capable goal scorer.
