La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Jody.Drummer]

No one needs convincing that yesterday Barcelona won an extremely important victory. This is not a big surprise, because apart from the match against Real, so far Barcelona have won all their away matches. A win against such a good rival as Atletico Madrid will also have a positive impact on the team's morale, which has slightly decreased after the draw in the derby match with Espanyol. 3 points advantage over Real certainly gives psychological comfort.

Yes, it's true that this victory will make them more confident to play the next match in this La Liga. The victory was very difficult for them to achieve, because Atletico Madrid also put up a very tight fight, in fact, only 1 goal was created in this match. What is more profitable for Barcelona is that Real Madrid lost their match this week against Villarreal so that they made their points again.
I thought Real Madrid would be able to win this match, but the fact is that they had to accept a narrow defeat to Villarreal which left them 3 points behind Barcelona.

Bilbao team has a golden chance today to take the fifth position, thanks to barcelona victory over atletico madrid they can now take their position if they manage to beat osasuna it will be a home game but a tough one since the opponent is also in a good shape and they are only two points behind bilbao, they are a heavy favourite but this game will not be easy but i still expect them to win with a small difference i dont think we will see many goals.

Yesterday ended as I expected in two games. Sevilla put a stop to their bad run and took the first step towards a new start by defeating Getafe at home. They need to get out of the relegation zone as soon as possible. A winning streak should fix this.
Atletico madrid vs Barcelona was a good match. Both teams kept trying and the winner was Barcelona. It must be said that it was a nice and important 3 points away for them in the championship race.

Sevilla dominated the game against getafe. Sevilla performance was very impressive which they scored two goal in yesterday match. The Victory for Sevilla was unexpected, their winning brought them out from the relegation zone. Getafe miss the opportunity of winning the game to be in the 11th position ahead if valencia.

Barcelona managed to get an important victory to get away from Real Madrid, one goal scored by Dembele lasted until the end of the game. Atletico tried hard to find a goal in this match, the struggle of Atletico players was in vain due to not being able to penetrate Barcelona defense which was getting stronger. The duet of Christensen and Araujo at the heart of Barcelona defense was very good, they were able to withstand all attacks from Atletico players.
This victory has further increased the confidence of the Barcelona players after last week they were only able to draw with Espanyol, now Xavi must take advantage of every opportunity so as not to lose points in the continuation of La Liga.

Without any doubt a big win for the Barcelona in Madrid because now this win give them lead of three points, and surely they could be proud of their achievement for this win and lead in La Liga league table because things are not easy for them in this season Real Madrid is surely having quality and ability to fight back for the leadership in this season Dembélé done good job in absence of Robert Lewandowski which was not available for this match due to RED CARD in last match.

In this match defence done good job and not allowed Atlético Madrid attack to have any good chance for coming at level with this defeat now things are going difficult for the Atlético Madrid to stay at the top four because they need improvement and change of strategy for having better results.

Laliga league is complex with highly competitive clubs in the League, more actions coming in from the teams. The winning was so much deserved by bluagrana because it was the only edging points they needed to ranked back to been first on the league table. So much efforts put in from the players, with Pedri, Gavi and Dembele displaying good performance in the game. Xavi Hernandez proud of his players, for beating Diego Simeon men, although the game was a little bit difficult for barça.

In the other side, Atletico is so bad when playing at home, by just winning 3 games only so far. I agree that the result was very predictable by the statistic of both teams. Hopefully Simeone can find better defensive players and one center forward in this winter transfer window.

As I said before, the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will run with high tension, and it was evident that there were 2 red cards in that match. I think Atletico Madrid played quite well in this game and they had several good opportunities that should have turned into a goal, it's just that they don't have a great finishing touch. With an additional 3 points, Barcelona can widen their gap with Real Madrid but that still does not guarantee their position in La Liga because Real Madrid certainly will not stay quiet.

Yes, I saw that it was a game where both teams played badly, as evidenced by the two red cards
This worries me, for Real Madrid
if he is so mean and aggressive, it means that he is tired and that Barcelona can take advantage of it

Three very valuable points for Barcelona to remain firm at the top of the standings with 41 points. The goal created by Ousmane Dembele in the 22nd minute of the first round became the sole goal of Barcelona's victory against Atletico Madrid.
Yes, the psychology of the players and Xavi will be better after this win because previously they were being chased by their strongest rivals.

I thought Real Madrid would be able to win this match, but the fact is that they had to accept a narrow defeat to Villarreal which left them 3 points behind Barcelona.

I also think so, even though there was only a very thin goal difference, Real Madrid still lost and volunteered must to stay at the second level of the standings with 38 points.

It bothers me when two big teams play football and in the end of the game the better team wins and we will say that it was a very tough game. I would have considered it to be a very tough match if Atletico Madrid was able to win Barcelona.
For there to be two red cards in the match shows that it was a fight to finish but the result was not pleasant to me because the competition will likely be less since Madrid already lost 3 points

[ShowOff]

I think Atletico Madrid's defense at the moment is not too bad compared to other teams. Although Atletico Madrid is still better than Real Madrid in the number of goals conceded, Atletico Madrid's current problem is that they don't have a striker who is hungry for goals. So far the average goal scored by Atletico Madrid is 1.4 goals per game, and they are no better than Girona or Atletic Bilbao in terms of goals scored. I agree they need a good forward and I think that should be considered while the transfer window is still open.

[bitgolden]

it seems that we both would've lost our bets if we followed our guts (did you finally placed it? in that case sorry for your loss).

Real Madrid lost 2-1 against Villarreal, and Barcelona won Atlético de Madrid 0-1. This is a good reminder that, in sports, there is also some degree of "lottery".

That is true, there is a low chance that you could end up being wrong at even the most guaranteed games, of course that is low but people only see the losses, normally on a game like Real Madrid vs Villareal, most of those games are won by the favourites, but there are times which you called a lottery, where the bigger team loses as well.

This is was a game like that and it happens time to time there is no shocker there. At the end of the day we should be happy that we get to at least give it a try, because 9 out of 10 times we would win those games and they are better in that case. I believe that we should not be really focusing on a win, but more on the entertainment.

The referee gave two red cards at the end of the game when the players emotions were running high. Especially this is the Spanish league, where players are often furious. Still, Barcelona won deservedly. They had an opportunity to get to the top of the standings and they used that opportunity. Now they shouldn't have any problems in the next few games.

Atlético Madrid is never better than Real Madrid. Atlético, who only won 1 game in their last 5 matches and lost 5 games in 16 matches, is no way better than Madrid even in their worst performance. Atlético are playing at their comfort, their games are majorly defensive unlike Madrid who play attacking games and even their defense sometimes overlap in the midfield just to create chances for the forwards they reason they conceded more goals than Atlético.

Simeone will not only need to sign forward players, but to work on the team pattern of play. This was why they finished at the bottom of the table in the group B of the UCL group stage matches. Atlético aren't showing any tendency of competing for anything this season, not even copa de Rey

Savic doing Savic things, nothing changes with Atletico. It’s the way Simeone wires them
Important win for Barca, they seem to be well up for the fight which hasn’t always been the case in recent seasons. They are looking like mounting a serious assault on winning La Liga this season, good for them.

Comparing to other teams, yeah Atletico have 15 conceded goals, not bad comparing to the other teams this season. But actually that's not a good record for their defense, which usually they got less than 30 conceded goals only for years in every season (except the last season). It must be Simeone's main concern atm and until he finds some defensive players who able to fit his needs, I think Atletico couldnt get their shape back quickly.

It was a high tension match, so I think the players didn't really care about the cards because of the pressure during the match. I don't know what really happened so that the referee gave 2 red cards, but as a result Atletico Madrid and Barcelona had to lose players in the next match. It was a loss for both teams. Statistics prove that Barcelona commits more fouls than Atletico Madrid, but maybe that's part of the strategy too so that the opponent is provoked.

I'm happy with Barcelona's win yesterday even though I had to miss the game. I watched the highlights, and of course both teams tried hard to win the match but only Barcelona managed to score. For his victory, Barcelona again made the point difference with Real Madrid to 3 points following Real Madrid's defeat from Villarreal in the previous game. Next, Barcelona will host Getafe for Week 17 of Laliga, but before that Barcelona has 2 other matches for the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa Del Rey.

What also made Barcelona to have more advantage of Atletico Madrid was that Atletico defense was not very good. But Atletico Madrid performance was a little bit good, they are had opportunities that they couldn't convert it to be goals, this was the problem they had.

Seeing from the highlights, at first Stefan Savic started a small tackle, only they fell and it was like a wrestling match, only the referee without thinking gave his second red card, this looked like he was provoked, but somehow the referee made the right decision.

But in the end Barcelona was able to gain points to get away from Real Madrid, as at the start of the match they started to get fierce so Barcelona were able to defend the first goal from Dembele even though they had lost the player Ferran Torres I think Barcelona can still benefit from this victory.

Indeed, and that's the clue to bet responsibly. But I wanted to say it as a friendly reminder.

Yesterday I saw a movie where the main character was stuck in some kind of space-time loop inside an elevator with his girlfriend. There they had a lot of time to talk about their secrets, and he ended up confessing that he had gambled all her savings on a sure bet ("investment" he called it), which was none other than a bet on Real Madrid.

The film was a comedy, but this scene reminded me that there are people here who may do this in a moment of weakness. Please, don't do that. Enjoy betting if you want, but don't rely on a guaranteed result as there is nothing like that in gambling.

The referee didn't really have a choice even if he didn't see the whole situation enfolding. I am not entirely sure in how far the VAR is responsible in that situation for letting the referee know as that situation is not connected to a pre-goal scene or anything. Are any misbehaviors on the pitch also to be punished via the VAR? Anyway, the situation looked as if it was to get out of control. The two guys were almost slapping each other. You could really see how they were trying to hold themselves back from totally escalating.
