La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

But I think it won't be very good if they keep delaying.
Benzema's condition has not been very good so far despite his good productivity but we know that his body is not very good. On the other hand, we also know that in Madrid right now, even though there are still a lot of them, players who do have great potential, especially for young players, but their instinct for scoring goals is a little lacking and when Benzema is not there, Madrid has a little trouble.
I think delaying to find out clearly is a little forced with the current conditions even though they are still confident but it wouldn't hurt to bring in new player options now.

Madrid definitely need a new striker ASAP but the big problem is that no one will accept to stay in tge bench because i dont think the new striker will take benzema place since the player still doing very well, this will make real Madrid mission to bring a New striker a bit complicated but i think the administration will find a good solution as it always did

This is a decision later in my opinion because I think Ancelotti is clearly professional and the main line up is clear from the performance during training although in this case Benzema will still be the first priority but when his performance deteriorates or is still hampered by injuries like now I think he will not force for something difficult.

It is really hard to find a meaningful explanation for Atletico Madrid's current condition. They are already 13 points away from the leader while we aren't even exactly in the middle of the season. I would have liked to say that they wanted to focus on the Champions League more. But their results in the Champions League were also horrible. While they were the most powerful team of their group they just finished it in the last place. They got only 5 points in total. This is a complete failure for them so far.

Simeone has been managing them for 11 years. He must be knowing every positive and negative sides of this team. Maybe it isn't related to the players. It might be just due to Simeone's tactics' weakening in time. Maybe they need a new manager as of now.

From time to time we see even top teams fall down the pecking order some seasons just like Liverpool are currently struggling with their form in the premier league this season same way Atletico Madrid are struggling to keep up with the top team like Real Madrid and Barcelona this season. Could it be some tactical faults or lacks? I believe the break should give Atletico Madrid time to figure out possible solutions to change the situation.

It is really difficult to overlook Villarreal's change in one season. We are talking about a team that reached the semi-finals in the Champions League in the end. But now they are having really troubling days. We are seeing them in the middle of the standings currently. Especially their losses in the recent times caused them to lose a lot of points.

Maybe they are focused on the Europa Conference League this time. They finished the group stage as leader. They might want to achieve this title as well after achieving the Europa League title. But they should be really careful in the La Liga at the same time. There isn't any guarantee for their title in the ECL so they should fight for a European tournament spot in the La Liga.

I just wonder what could be the possible issues in this team that is resulting to a poor and drastic drop of form this season because when you look at Villarreal you see a team of top players and good playing style especially when they played under Unai Emery, could it be that Enai departure plays a role in their decline or it's a problem with the management structure. This international break should give them a life line or a way out of this problems i guess.

Villa real won their match in a narrow escape manner tonight as there we're able to press home the winning after almost 99 minutes of intense playing time.

This season has been full with uncomfortable results from clubs that we're seen as the weaker clubs but at this moment those clubs are raising in point on the table due to their steady winning

Hazard has already announced his retirement from the national team of Belgium. Do you still have to be able to keep playing at the Real Madrid team? I don't think we'll see the old Hazard again. He's come a long way since his injury. Or have we perhaps overestimated him by his performance and actions at Chelsea? I had actually completely forgotten that Hazard was still with real Madrid. ~

Yes, he just decided to retire from the Belgian national team and I think Hazard's career is also almost over at Real Madrid. Hazard did indeed shine with Chelsea, but since joining Madrid with a prolonged injury, the Belgian player has not been able to make much of a contribution. According to the news, Ancelotti has also invited Hazard to look for another club because he is not included in the Don Carlo scheme.

[emrecemsan]

I'm not surprised with Hazard's decision about retiring from his national team. Because there were already huge problems going on at Belgium national team. Hazard was among the players who had private issues with another player. Hazard had problems with Trossard to be more specific. This bad environment in the team must be very effective in his decision about retirement. We weren't able to see the old Hazard anyway so I think there is nothing wrong with this decision.

I don't expect much from Hazard in his team career as well. He couldn't get accustomed to Real Madrid from the beginning. The injuries he had here just made things even worse for him. He made a huge mistake in the first place by leaving Chelsea. Even if he returns to the EPL soon, I don't have big expectations from him anymore.

I agree with you, 2 points is nothing. Besides, if it stays as it is now (2 points gap), it will all be decided in the next El Classico. It's too early to say though, I bet they will get 100% wrong in one match and the gap will increase to a more or less comfortable one, or they will keep us in suspense till the end of the season

their points were too close that even one game would make a huge difference in the next points tally. but looking at barcelona performance in the matches they have played it looks like they have a good enough direction to continue to be consistent in the remaining matches this season. Real madrid seem to have lost balance this season a bit as the absence of benzema is a point to pay attention to in their form in the matches they have been through. even though he didn't have a big impact, benzema became a very influential figure in the real madrid game.

to determine who is the strongest candidate to win the laliga trophy this season we have to be patient to see it because the competition between barcelona and real madrid looks like it will continue in every game this season.

I think it should not be allowed that only one man wins a game, it could ruin the game later on, but I always thought that Real was the team that did not allow that. Every time they've lost someone for health reasons or whatever, their game hasn't changed at all, they've been just as strong and continued to win. They still seem that way to me now

Except on the attackers, I see they always have trouble making goals when Benzema is injured. That has been evident in some Madrid games. Many friends here also said so. So there's one that's missing and it's had a bit of an impact. Even though they have to try to keep winning and optimize the existing players. This is the reason why a club should have several player options. They want to always be strong and win, but sometimes the reality in the game is very different.

[terrorJR]

This is another burden but indeed in this case it is also difficult for us to say this because of course they also have to understand that the team is not the same as the club so they have to get rid of that feeling even though this will definitely have a little effect
The journey is still far, they can't avoid it now and what has to be done is to be consistent so they don't get as much ridicule as before and of course the title must be earned first they need it so they don't get called clowns lol.

of course every player who competes in the world cup will experience an impact on their mentality if their country is eliminated from this prestigious event because every player must have high hopes at the world cup and especially for spain which is dominated by barcelona players eliminated after losing in a penalty shootout. of course the players who fail to score in the penalty shoot-out round will be overshadowed by guilt because their shot can be blocked by the opposing goalkeeper.

but before the league starts the players will definitely be focused on undergoing regular training and attending therapy to restore enthusiasm for the upcoming matches.

The problem in this case is that most of the players who compete there are Barcelona players, even though their fate is actually almost the same as Bayern in the Bundesliga, the difference is that when the Bundesliga and La Liga are clearly different in terms of competition, especially for La Liga itself, Barcelona is still being chased by Madrid, who only 2 points difference.
Indeed, focusing is what they are obliged to do now, especially with their current condition, there is no real reason not to focus.

Real madrid already stated to sell hazard as the club didn't need him anymore. I think that real madrid will be also doing the same thing to the modric as he is old enough to play for madrid. The performance from modric in world cup was not so good. Hazard was very often getting injury during his career in mardrid, he can't perform so well like when he was playing under the name of chelsea. I hope that he will try to consider moving back again to the his old club.
Hazard's performance didn't make ancelotti feel satisfied that's why ancelotti rarely playing him as starting line up. that's very sad for hazard to end his career in real madrid with very bad achievement.

Eden Hazard is quite old so it is natural for him to retire, so far his career has only been good when the match was in 2019 after that he couldn't get any more goals and his contribution to football has decreased again. Maybe he already has a big business. other and no longer focus on the world of football.

I think Sevilla must guard Yassine Bounou with the high price before the winter windows transfer opens, As we know how Yassine Bounou save his team and make the history world cup by zero conceded, which I think many clubs will interested to recruit him with high salary and bonus. As I remembered how he can be saved Raul Jimenez's penalty in 8 round Europe league, that was history because Jimenez never missed penalty from 18 shoots.

[Sebas.tian]

Real Madrid seemed weaker than Barcelona against smaller teams in the recent games of the season. However this is still not a proof for anything of course. Real Madrid are still only two points behind them and they can easily fix these bad results after the start of the second half of the season. Benzema's return from his injury will be a big improvement for them as well.

I don't know if Real Madrid need any transfer in January. They already have a squad whose quality is enough for reaching their goals in this season.

Now that Benzema has recovered from his injury, showed there is a hope of improvement in Real Madrid after the FIFA world cup competition because Benzema still need to perform well for the whole world to believe how important he is to Real Madrid in his time.  I believe, Real Madrid will never allow all those small teams to defeat them again than to handle them like the way they used to handle strong teams and defeat them with many goals which is what they are willing to apply after the break. Barcelona is really trying in this season but it will be difficult for Real Madrid to allow them to take first position in this la Liga league competition table.

Yassine Bounou is the hero of Morocco on world cup so i am not surprising if later there is big club who want him and actually he is penalty saver specialist and he did it plenty with Sevilla and Morocco and during defend Sevilla he has 53 cleansheet this also makes him recognized as one of the best goalkeeper on Laliga so it's normal if other clubs want to bought him but last time i heard he was linked to premier league team Aston Villa even this team will attempts to gets him this January and Unay Emery confirmed Aston Villa will make an offers to gets him and Sevilla also apparently will allow him to left so lets see whether this rumour will became true or not

Yassine Bounou is a senior player at this time he was 31 years old I'm not sure any big team will sign him unless he's a free player
I'm sure he will end his career with Sevilla for at least the next 2 years after that maybe he's back in the local league or a career as a goalkeeper coach.

Bono shows a very good game at this world championship. There will probably be quite a few teams who want to buy him, but Sevilla also needs him because things are very bad for them now, the team has sunk into the relegation zone, no one expected this. However, if they decide to sell him, they can use this money to buy other players to strengthen the team.

A two point advantage over Real Madrid has not made Barcelona position secure in first place, a loss in one game can make Barcelona lose its position. Competition for the La Liga title this season is only contested by two clubs because other competitors such as Atletico Madrid and Sevilla cannot maintain their performance. After the international break is over there will be matches that Barcelona will have to win if they are to retain their place, Xavi will certainly not let any chance of lifting a trophy be lost due to the mistakes made in several games.

[Zackgeno96]

Barcelona's lead over Real Madrid is no guarantee that they will win the competition. Real Is not at its best in the last phase of the competition. But if you look at that team, there is more class and substance than Barcelona. It will still come down to the mutual confrontation later in Barcelona. Barcelona has actually won many matches with very ugly football and then also with minimal differences. I think that game image has to change, because if you keep winning with minimal differences, then everything has just fallen in the right direction. Benzema will be back in January.

There is every possibility that Barcelona can win the La Liga.  They are already at the top of the league and their strongest competitor is Real Madrid, if you look at the player situation of Real Madrid you will understand that Benzema is not in his best fit for now and before he could return to Real Madrid to help them get more goals Barcelona will advanced because that is the major challenge they have apart from the Europa League. Xavi will want to win the La Liga in order to redeem his image and get more time in Barcelona

That is what happens in football when wrong decisions are made in players career.Hazard was a very useful and vasatile player who plays both left and right wing while he was at Chelsea and was also playing at a top nine,sometimes as an attacking midfielder,but his move to Madrid hampared his progress and ever since then,injury began to affect his career.
It's not a bad thing that he retired from international football,because he knew that he was no longer good at the team,and that he needed to give young players playing time too, to shine and make name for themselves.

[KTChampions]

I'll be interested to see how the Barcelona players deal with the pressure after returning (in disgrace) from the World Cup. Spain had 8 players from Barcelona and 2 from Real Madrid, obviously the Barcelona players brought with them the habit of losing important games  It is interesting whether this will affect their morale and play at the club level or not.

Yes, I am also looking forward to this, will it have a significant effect on their game in Barcelona, if it is true that the Spaniard was affected mentally in the match against Morocco yesterday, it will have a very bad impact on the stability of Barcelona's game, and of course, the La Liga leader will be replaced immediately if that happens.

Unlike the case with Real Madrid players who only have two representatives, Dani Carvajal and Marco Asensio, of course, this will not affect the players at Real Madrid.

An additional negative factor is that before the first games in La Liga, which could possibly help to forget what happened, it is still far away and the players will think about what happened for the rest of the time until the resumption of the Spanish championship. By the way, Lewandowski also does not have the mentality of a winner - in a completely lost game, he rejoiced like a child at a goal scored (the score became only 3-1 and Poland went home).
