La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[ginsan]

maybe the team that has performed the worst this season in Laliga is Sevilla because they closed the league break in the relegation zone even though Sevilla is a big team in laliga but this season their performance has been very bad. I even crossed out Sevilla in my next bet because I have lost a lot of choices when they competed. besides that barcelona is one of the most competitive teams in laliga because they have been quite consistent so far. but for that I hope sevilla can perform better after the world cup is over and for sevilla management they have to buy quality players in this winter window. Real madrid and barcelona are the two teams that have a big chance of fighting for the title this season, even Atletico Madrid seems to be having big difficulties this season.

Yes, Real Madrid is still very dependent on Benzema, this is a serious problem that Ancelotti must deal with immediately. Two points down isn't too bad for los Blancos, but Madrid's lack of sharp alternatives in attack could be a stumbling block for them. I think Ancelotti will have to look for a new striker soon in the January transfer window, because the position of the striker is a very urgent matter to deal with.

Carlo Ancelotti will probably look at some of the strikers who appeared at the World Cup, who have a role similar to that of Benzema. Although Real Madrid still has reliable striker like Vinicius and Rodrygo, but Benzema role is very influential on the quality of this team. We'll see did Ancelotti succeed to get an striker in the January transfer market, or stay with the old striker.

Some people in Barcelona does not want the phrase "doing well" they want to return to be the best they used to be.

This is very true actually. People expect a team of Barcelona caliber to win all their games comfortably. After losing a few of the big games, it seems like Barcelona is not as strong as it used to be. But in reality there is a Barcelona that dominates and wins many matches. They lost to Real Madrid and had poor results in the Champions League, but in all other matches they were good and managed to score three points. They don't need to score 5 goals against their opponents in every match. If they continue like this this season, they can become champions.

Indeed, the Barcelona we see today is not as strong as Barcelona before, as it was during its heyday. But they are in the process of moving in that direction to bring it back to its former glory. No team is at the same level every season, because their players change, the coaching staff does the same, so they will definitely have ups and downs in their performance and that is normal. But what makes the difference is how well they can keep from experiencing a very deep decline. One of the factors that has caused Barcelona to decline at the moment is their worsening financial problems which have had an impact on their performances.

The performance of Barcelona during Koeman's time as Barcelona coach is much stronger and more stable than that of the current Barcelona team. However, they do not have a stable performance like the Barcelona team of 4/5 years ago. There is no shortage of star players in the team. However, since the players are new, they need RP time to adjust to the team and adapt to the strategy. If the team can be stable, they will undoubtedly win the title. But I think Barcelona will have to wait until next season to achieve stability. Barcelona's defenders also need more improvement.

Xavi got everyone he wanted in the summer (putting Barcelona in an even more difficult financial position) but Barcelona continue to lose every big game. What do you say if this continues and the result of the season is second place in La Liga again? Barcelona are on the verge of bankruptcy and I don't think they can wait longer than 2 seasons for a good result from Xavi. In modern football, this is more than the maximum term.

Well 2 years, does he have to go? So if he does leave, who will replace him? There are still quite a lot of opportunities for the League and UEL champions. So let's see.
Financial problems, this season Xavi is quite surprising. He shopped quite a lot of players. But I've read, Barcelona is likely to have difficulty paying players' salaries in the following year.

Any qualified coach, now there are such on the market (they always are). But it's more important to change the strategy (although it's too late to do it) - if Barcelona hadn't gone all-in, but suffered a couple of years with a less stellar squad, nothing terrible would have happened. Most likely they would have finished second in La Liga in the same way and from time to time reached the playoffs of the Champions League. In doing so, they could sort out their debts and start a "normal" life.

The qualified coach is not the most important topic. When you want to change Atletico Madrid, you need to change a whole era. It was defensive soccer. We all saw these games when Atletico was working at taking down the clock. Yet they were an amazing team, there is no doubt. Even tough it wasn't fun at times to watch them, they still were a huge hurdle to any big club to actually beat them.

I even crossed out Sevilla in my next bet because I have lost a lot of choices when they competed. besides that barcelona is one of the most competitive teams in laliga because they have been quite consistent so far. but for that I hope sevilla can perform better after the world cup is over and for sevilla management they have to buy quality players in this winter window. Real madrid and barcelona are the two teams that have a big chance of fighting for the title this season, even Atletico Madrid seems to be having big difficulties this season.

Sevilla are a lot worse than they were last season... I was surprised when I looked at the standings this year and last year... Sevilla were in fourth place and qualified for the Champions League, and this year they are in danger of relegation... But I do not think that after the World Cup their position will improve much, the main thing is to escape relegation...

[Raflesia]

they have brought in a lot of players to overshadow this season and it looks much better, now I think there is nothing lacking in their squad, in every line they already have qualified players it's just that now Xavi has to be more able to make this team's game more organized and also makes Chemstry between players even better.
now Barcelona is ranked 1st in the standings and that is proof that they are already very good, they just need to be consistent because their rivals Real Madrid are also playing quite well this season and they will be competing hard for the La Liga title this season.

If Barcelona still doesn't make a bigger point gap with Real Madrid, then the top position currently occupied by Barcelona is still not safe because Barcelona still needs to beat Real Madrid this season if they want to get the La Liga title. Real Madrid is a team that is still very dangerous for all teams in La Liga including Barcelona, ​​because if there are only two points between the two, it will be easier for Real Madrid to take the top spot again from Barcelona.

Making a big gap from Madrid is certainly not easy because it is possible to win they are capable of it but the problem is ensuring Madrid don't get points clearly difficult in my opinion especially in this case Madrid are also still playing very well until now regardless of how their performance was without the benzema yesterday they still played really well with the matches they kept going.
Of course Madrid also doesn't want to give up the current title race, so it's not easy to get away from Madrid's pursuit.

[D-law]

If you carefully examine the Barcelona team, you will understand that the team is not as bad as people portray them, the major problem with Barcelona team under Xavi is that they fail to win big matches when it is needed and also they have been very unlucky in the Champions League matches. Apart from these two problems which are fixable I think Barcelona team is doing well.
Some people in Barcelona does not want the phrase "doing well" they want to return to be the best they used to be.

They will surely return back to the big side they use to be
They should have at least won the first leg with Bayern Munich that would have given them some bitof hope.
They are on top knowing well That it's for a short time,they will have to be consistent to remain on top still for them to win the league

[ILuckyGuyI]

Every big team in a league can have a really bad season. This is totally normal of course. I remember a Chelsea example like they made the same start and they were really close to the relegation area for some time also. They started to make things a little better for themselves later on and finished the league in one of the middle places at least. It feels like it will be the same for Sevilla also. I just hope so honestly because it would be very shocking to see a team like Sevilla relegating from the league.

It looks like their main issue is not related to the manager. They have made a change but everything is the same now. It must be related to the players. Maybe they are still mentally weak and they need something strong to start recovering. I hope to see a different Sevilla in the second half of the season.

Real Madrid is a team that is still very dangerous for all teams in La Liga including Barcelona, ​​because if there are only two points between the two, it will be easier for Real Madrid to take the top spot again from Barcelona.

This means that Barcelona must always win and Real Madrid at least should lose once. This may be difficult to expect this result, but nothing is impossible. Sometimes, real Madrid performs quite surprisingly when fighting with certain clubs, sometimes they give surprising result such as draws. Well,hopefully this will not happen. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid should not be drawn or lost to make thier position keeps safe and will not be takne over again. I personally really like Real Madird. But, I can't deny that Barcelona will always be a difficult opponent, moorever they aplay much better after failed in the UCL.

[BitcoinAccepted]

The championship is currently an equal chance for both teams to win. Real Madrid has fallen back slightly, but it is also mainly the merits of Barcelona that are also dropping few points at the moment. Barcelona have taken a blow with the elimination in the CL, but maybe they are happy to continue in the EL. They had a tough group in the CL. Seville must also be seriously concerned at the moment. I think this is the team's worst season ever. For years they have easily achieved European football, a lot has to change before that continues again. Maybe they miss Luuk de Jong who went to Barcelona 2 seasons ago and has now moved on to PSV? Maybe they should have brought in other players.

[baeva]

I think this season is important just to play to the end, maybe you should not think about the place... They need to change coaches and they will do it, the only question is when it will be in the winter or summer. If you think about it, Barseleona were in the same position before Xavi came in, but they got out in second place, but it was very hard...

If they decide to change coaches in your opinion, who do you think is the right coach to replace Diego Simeone? And do you think Atletico Madrid would be better off doing that?
It will be very difficult for a team to decide whether it is better to fire or keep the coach. Because they can still be said to be good overall, but they lost in terms of competition which many people think is due to the monotony of Diego Simeone's strategy.

I do not know exactly who they should hire as a coach, but Diego has exhausted himself and absolutely everyone can see that. The management has definitely already decided something about him, but we, ordinary people, will not know it. In addition, they probably already have options about who to put in his place

[Smack That Ace]

Barcelona only weakness this season when facing big teams, this condition that Xavi must immediately overcome. Barcelona failure in the UCL was due to not being able to compete with Bayern Munich and Inter, in La Liga Barcelona also lost to Real Madrid.

It is not a fault from Xavi because Barcelona does not have good players as same as other big clubs. Their system is worse than other clubs too and it is not a hidden thing, they are rebuilding their squad with Xavi Hernandez. They knew about their problems and their fans should accept it to move onward more positively about future of Barcelona.
In general Xavi has been rebuilding Barcelona very good and he has helped Gavi, Pedri grew up a lot in past two seasons. Only Ansu Fati must have more appearance and show that he can play at highest level if does not have any injury. This World Cup can be a booster for Ansu Fati.

The world cup break gives free time for Xavi to improve Barcelona weaknesses, the chemistry between the players must be well established, Xavi must also awaken the players' mentality so that they are better prepared when facing big teams.

Barcelona has many players were called for World Cup and Xavi will have very stressful time during World Cup. He must think of plans for the season in both La Liga and Europa League. Meanwhile to wait for return of those leagues, he must pray that no player will return to Barcelona with injury.

Barcelona is not in a good financial position.
It was not in a good financial position, even when Xavi first came into the team as a coach.

So, I am going to say that as he is someone who came into this shit and took matters into his own hands, did actually decent enough. Because this is a situation where he could have done worse pretty easily.

I am not going to say that he is the savior of Barcelona football because that's still quite a long way away. However, I will say that the time when he arrived was very important for Barcelona and he did what the previous coaches could not do, even while they had some great players on the team, including Lionel Messi.

Nah, Sevilla is just so messed up. Perhaps the whole team and system needs a complete overhaul if they are to get back to the top of their game. In the first half of last season they were so good only to bottle up in the second half of the season. Their poor form woes in this season just continued from last season and I do have any hope from them this time round as well.

Real Madrid surely doesn't want to give up to win the title. They must struggle until the end of the season. Moreover, with the current situation that they are only 2 points left from Barcelona, the chance to win La Liga is still very open (very possible). It is strange if Real Madrid gives up now, this is something impossible to happen. I am sure Real Madrid players will be more motivated to win every match, they know Barcelona is still possible to miss points because there are many matches left. What they need to do is to win every match and get 3 points, and they must defeat Barcelona in the next El Classico (on matchday 26, March 2023).

Which team do you mean should be able to win the first leg with Bayern Munich
If what you mean is Barcelona, then you need to wash your face so you can look back at the match schedule and which team Barcelona must beat after the world cup later. Because you also need to know that Barcelona this season must be willing to go down to the Europa League after their failure in the Champions League, so Barcelona will not meet Bayern Munich again this season.

Its clear that real Madrid will not give up the title, the gap is really small and we still have more than half a season so it's very early to talk about the winner but what i can say that Barcelona will make the impossible to get the title and save the season because European league is not a big deal for them and they will not make much efforts on it

But, I can't deny that Barcelona will always be a difficult opponent, moorever they aplay much better after failed in the UCL.

I prefer to see Barcelona and Real Madrid competing for first place with a close point difference. The enthusiasm of the players will be even more motivated to fight for the top of the standings when the two teams have a close point difference. Barcelona will try to maintain the top position while Real Madrid wants to displace Barcelona. The competitive rivalry is increasingly making the matches of the two more exciting, one mistake will make them lose their position.

Still left many matches for talking candidate the winner La Liga in this season with current 2 point left between Barcelona and Real Madrid, despite Madrid have chance at the next El Clasico (on matchday 26, March 2023) I don't think with Barcelona and Real Madrid are consistency in the winning games, have surprise team make Madrid and Barcelona loss points at unpredictable matches.
Little bored with La Liga dominance right now between current third standing position have many points gap with Barcelona and Real Madrid, its look little compete with other team from Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad until Athletic Bilbao loss many points.

Yes, Barcelona is doing well in this season, and they are in good position to start breaking record by start winning big  matches to make their fans believe that this season will end up for their favour. I think, Barcelona coach will definitely introduce more tactics into the team that will make the players more active in all their position in this holiday period so that there will be more improvement after the holiday. I believe, Barcelona coach will definitely solve the two problems affecting the team in this season, so that there will be massive victory in their remaining matches.

  Judging on that game, was Barcelona not the better team that night, it was that bayern munich took good use of those chances they had. Bayern Munich had two or three counter attack and converted it. If you have some time take a good look Barcelona was the better side. It's unfortunate they got knocked. Can they just win La Liga
