La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Slow death]

The first half was a little interesting. I mean Atletico Madrid had nearly the double the goal attempts Barcelona had. But they weren't good at finding the target very much. This is the typical Atletico Madrid actually. They had the same scenario against Elche last week. They were able to win anyway because of playing against the weakest team in the league of course. But Barcelona is a much bigger challenge. If you continue to waste the chances in a generous way then it is very likely for you to lose the match.

Dembele's goal has already made things more difficult for them. It feels like Barcelona will defeat them by one goal here just as Real Madrid did. Aside from that I expect Simeone not to be at his current position anymore by the end of the season.

atlético madrid is a team that has wasted goals in many games, just look at their games in the champions league in which they were superior, but they kept missing many opportunities until they lost in the games and were eliminated, I even congratulate the coach from atlético madrid for having managed to make the defense stable, without conceding many goals, but the center of problems is in their attack which is a poor attack and with a lot of wasted opportunities it looks like atlético players are playing in a friendly because it is not acceptable that these athletic players do not take these games seriously

I myself lost money in all the games I bet on atlético madrid, I never get lucky when I bet on atlético madrid, this is something very sad and annoying, I don't understand why the hell every time I bet on atlético madrid games I lose a bet, for the today's game against barcelona they lost, they didn't concede many goals but they didn't manage to score at least 1 goal, in this scenario I don't understand why they still keep that coach when the results are clearly not good at all

Atletico Madrid president suggests Joao Felix will stay at club in January



atletico shouldn't beat players like jao felix, they need more players in their attack so that together with those players who are in the attack they can score a lot of goals

The match played between Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid in La Liga but Barcelona won 1-0. Dembele scored an early goal and Barcelona took the lead. Later, both teams counter-attacked. But Barcelona had another chance and they took it but the referee later confirmed that their goal was offside.  If we look at the statistics of this match, we can see that both the teams have performed very well. Considering the direction of one target short, it can be seen that Atletico Madrid advanced from Barcelona. Barcelona are just two short of the target and Atletico Madrid are five short of the target. If we talk about possession of the ball, Barcelona lead the way with 60% possession and Atletico Madrid with 40% possession. However, Atletico Madrid could not take advantage of the opportunity despite having seven points.  However, the most fouls in this match and most of them were committed by Barcelona. They committed 14 fouls in this match including three yellow cards and one red card.  Atletico Madrid committed fouls against Barcelona including two yellow cards and one red card. But aside from the foul aspect, this game has been a fighting game.

Well, I can't deny that Barcelona has some inspiration now, after Real Madrid has lost, they don't want to continue losing for anything in the world, clearly the mistake of this league is now being made by Real Madrid, however the football they demonstrated I can't deny that I liked Barcelona a lot, I see another air for them, I don't know if they are now aiming to win the League and they want to be victorious with the UCL, it's just something great, because as things get like that, now we see Real Madrid brought out everything they have, the game against Villareal I honestly saw a very lost Benzema, and on this occasion I saw a whole Barcelona playing very well, I liked this game.

And things are done and take advantage to heat up even more:

Xavi makes statement after Barcelona overtake Real Madrid

As reported by SPORT, Xavi said after Barcelona’s win away against Atletico Madrid:

    “These are three golden points. We knew how to suffer (after). It’s important to have kept a clean sheet. Without playing that well, we got the three points. It was a tough game but a big win.

    “It’s not just three points, it’s a huge morale boost. I am proud of the team. We have made a statement that we are candidates to win the league.”

Things are starting to heat up, Real Madrid now has it a little more difficult, and Xavi says these things, clearly the team doesn't like Ancelotti very much, at the same time I like him because it's what this league needed.

Almería vs Real Sociedad between these two teams, Almería had a very bad performance. I lost this match with a bet. I bet with Almería support but Almería lost this match by 2 goals. Real Sociedad showed a great game. They scored 2 goals before halftime. After that  Almería could not score any more goals. Almería players received 1 yellow cards in the entire game.

why did you choose almeria in your bet, from the start their chances of winning from sociedad were very small, I'm happy because I won this bet, I support sociedad and they won with a good score of 2-0. today match is athletic club vs Osasuna, athletic is the host and their chances of winning are greater than Osasuna, I will support athletic.

[D-law]

A hard fought victory for Barcelona. My match thoughts were centered on how aggressive Barcelona played against a team that is usually very aggressive in their style of play, beating them at their own game.

Victories like this are pathways to winning titles, similar to how Arsenal over at the premier league have been getting the job done over the last match weeks.

The unfortunate incident at the end was one blemish on the performance as a Barcelona player get a red card in two consecutive games.

Barcelona managed, I was how they managed that game that got me happy
The pressure and intensity became high from Athletico but still they showed they wanted to the three points
Good substitute introduced to cover that up, just like you said victorious games as this are pathways to winning tittles

Barcelona's goal in the 22nd minute assisted by Ousmane Dembele and Gavi was excellent and after that they just tried to keep the goals out rather than score the most because they had already conceded a goal so if they can keep the opposition they will win.  They do it effortlessly. But towards the end of the game 90+2" two players of both teams committed a major foul due to which both were red carded by the referee.

[bering]

After spend 6 matches without the winning results finally today Sevilla has gets their important winning from Getafe that playing at home Sevilla take the initiative to playing attacking and control the game since first half and the result is they can score goal on 36 minutes and this makes Sevilla in the comfortable position moreover after Rafael Mir made second goals for Sevilla and Getafe actually was attempts to equalized the score but Sevilla can managed the scores until final whistle and with this result Sevilla position was slightly up to 17th however i was ignoring this match before because i doubt Sevilla can win the match but apparently they can fliped my prediction

I agree, Barcelona scored early in the first half, then defended later. It was indeed an important win that secured 3 points. Thus Barcelona team maintains its lead at the top of the La Liga standings after beating Atletico Madrid. Athletico attacked, but their final pass proved to be their biggest problem. A crazy fight breaks out between Ferran Torres and Stefan in the 92nd minute. Neither of them was able to finish what they started. I found that to be entertaining.

I think this game will still belong to Getafe even if they have to play at Sevilla. But in fact Sevilla managed to secure 3 points at home and with this result Sevilla rose slightly above the relegation zone. This winning trend must be maintained by Sevilla so that they can continue to stay away from the relegation zone and at least they will finish mid-table this season.

Congratulations to Barcelona for the beautiful victory they got from Atletico Madrid. Barcelona achieved the winning goal at 22 minutes, hoping that Atletico Madrid will equalize the goal before the end of first half but Barcelona players never allow such opportunity come to Atletico Madrid till the end of the match. Now that Barcelona has moved to first position in the la Liga league table, showed that Barcelona coach is doing well in this season because there is hope that Barcelona will win this title. I don't think, Real Madrid can take this position from Barcelona before the end of this tournament, because their performance is reducing gradually in this season compared to last season.

The discipline of Barcelona defense made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to find goals, Atletico had many opportunities to equalize the score but the poor finishing allowed Barcelona to win 3 points at Metropolitano. This victory was very important for Barcelona to get away from Real Madrid, the full points won at home to Atletico made Barcelona three points ahead of Real Madrid, which is one rank below.

This defeat made Atletico Madrid have to drop to fifth place, fourth position is now occupied by Real Betis after beating Rayo Vallecano 2-1. Atletico must immediately get up in the next match, Simeone must lead his team to victory when they travel to Almeria to maintain the opportunity to return to fourth place.

None of atletico's defender was guarding dembele. Dembele was staying at the free zone. That makes him able to take the ball from his friend easily without any problem and he was making a shot that was giving a goal to the barcelona. That's atletico defender's fault. I can't even argue even more about that and atletico must accept the truth if it was losing against barelona.
The play style from atletico become even more aggresive once it comes to the second half of match. Barcelona was able guarding its goal keeper from any attacks that were coming from atletico.
Glad to see that the competition in la liga become even stricter between real madrid against barcelona.

[Fakhrulenclix]

Barcelona managed to win the match against Atletico Madrid and with this they managed to distance themselves from Real Madrid on the standings board while taking advantage of Real Madrid's defeat yesterday.
one goal was scored in this match in the 22nd minute through Ousmane Dembele and there was a bit of an incident at the end of the match which caused a riot and saw two players sent off.
Apart from that, it was a very interesting match and I am really very happy with the outcome of this match because my lost bet on Real Madrid has now been replaced.

but can the results of this match be said that Barcelona has risen and found its best performance, I don't think so, what needs to be proven is consistency.

Sevilla was playing so well against getafe. As far as i know that if sevilla has more passing accuracy combined with the ball possessions against getafe. i do like the way how sevilla was dominating the match against getafe. Getafe itself is far superior compared with sevilla in the statistic but im so happy to see that sevilla has managed to win against getafe by scoring two goals.
Will seville start to go up again after he was struggling with its performance since the early of this season? this is a very interesting thing to be watched.

In possession of the ball, Sevilla is superior to Getafe with a ratio of 58:42, which proves that Sevilla now seems to have started to find a good strategy for their opponent. Sevilla's next opponent is Girona. It seems that this will be an arena to prove again for Sevilla to win, but it seems that Sevilla will experience a little difficulty because they have to play at home to Girona.

Yes, Barcelona was able to achieve quite encouraging results at the Metropolitano. Imagine, the Blaugrana were able to win an important victory at home to Atletico and further strengthen their position at the top of the standings. This is the first time Barcelona have won and scored at the Metropolitano since 2019.

After this match, I see that Barcelona's chances of winning the championship are increasingly open. Xavi must really take advantage of the current situation and must maintain consistency. Even though the season is still long, the three-point advantage over Real Madrid is an important asset for the Catalan team.

Great game of Barcelona, but I must say that on 93 minutes Griezmann could have equalized the score, but by some miracle Araujo carried the ball already from the ribbon. Araujo just healed his injury and immediately saved Barcelona. In this game the team showed its character, Pedri created a goal out of almost nothing, and Ferran was not afraid of Savich and went to the end. In general, everyone likes the Barcelona more, even if without a goal extravaganza, but with character and fight to the end.

Xavi Hernandez, has really tried for Barcelona inspite of their financial challenges, he's still fighting hard for the title.
Yesterday, was another test for him and he delivered by winning altetico Madrid. Thou, this season altetico Madrid is just an average team. They haven't performed like a top four team. But Xavi men still shown that they're title contender.
But to me, Real Madrid  is still my favourite for the title inspite of their recent poor performance. I believe they will bounce  soonest and lead the table again.

[minime0105]

The game between sevilla and Getafe was a good one for Sevilla but it wasn't an easy winning for sevilla because Getafe gave them a good fight defensively, in the first 36 minutes Sevilla got their first goal of the match and the deserved it, before This match Getafe has only lost once in the last six that placed them on a good side too but Sevilla being the host of this match never relented, this winning for sevilla might be a good opportunity for them to turn things around and start winning match.

Barcelona has grown up with young players this season and have achieved success game after game. Maybe it's not too early to see young players who have been able to work together on the field. Pedri and Dembele are indeed important assets for Barcelona. Xavi is now starting to regain trust. If this season Barcelona is able to secure the standings and continue to play nicely, then the Champions League door can be a little more flexible. In the match against Atletico Madrid, we can see that this narrow result has brought Barcelona a little away from Real Madrid.

Imagine, the Blaugrana were able to win an important victory at home to Atletico and further strengthen their position at the top of the standings. This is the first time Barcelona have won and scored at the Metropolitano since 2019.

After this match, I see that Barcelona's chances of winning the championship are increasingly open. Xavi must really take advantage of the current situation and must maintain consistency. Even though the season is still long, the three-point advantage over Real Madrid is an important asset for the Catalan team.

The difference of 3 points has not made it safe for Barcelona in the race for the trophy considering only 16 matches. Barcelona's struggle is still far away regarding the La Liga season title. But the victory at the Metropolitano against Atletico Madrid gives Xavi Hernandez a slight advantage in case they suffer an unexpected defeat while their rivals win.

The victory over Atletico deserves to be celebrated by Barcelona because since 2019 the Blaugrana have always found it difficult to win even though under 2019 they have beaten Atletico Madrid, namely on 02 Feb 2017 with a score of 1-2 when their stadium name was still Vicente Calderon.
