La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Raflesia]

From the onset of the season I never doubted Barcelona will do better as the season progresses knowing full well how a great team they are not only in laliga but Europe, however I concur with X-ray that 3 points are nothing of a strong gap for an opponent like Madrid, and if they have to stay top the table then they need to keep winning upcoming games as their greatest opponent (Madrid) in second position on the table is very much determined to see themselves back on top of the league table.
Another rhetoric here is, can Barca be able to keep up the lead till the next El classico? I don't know for sure!

With their condition bringing in several big players and of course expensive as if this was the end for them because they were dying financially it was clear they wanted to make something new in an instant way to improve their condition.
With the composition of their players there is actually no reason to be doubted but my expectations seemed to be hampered by their defeat in the Champions League which made me realize that they were not as good as I thought in this instant way. But this can still be improved because there are some things that are definitely not in line with what you want.

I think Barcelona being better than last year is not a surprise. Not just because Xavi got there and he is making them play a better game, that's quite true and I wouldn't argue against that at all but we are also talking about 100+ million euro worth new transfers as well, ignore everything else and just the fact that they have Lewandowski, one of the best pure scorers of our time is good enough fact that they should be doing better.

They also have plenty of other new players that helped them be better too. Sure they also have some of their old players and Xavi helped, but those new players are definitely there to prove they are good and help them be better.

One of those players is Araujo. Araujo is the name that kept the Barça defense alive and he made his difference once again, the injury he suffered at the beginning of this year broke Barcelona's back and they could not leave the group, otherwise this team was not too bad to leave the group. He prevented a possible disaster with his intervention, he is definitely one of the best defenders in the world. It's too early to say this, but I think Barcelona found the new Xavi-Iniesta duo thanks to Pedri and Gavi. Of course, Pedri and Gavi are not at their level yet, but they are still young, they can reach that level in the coming years. Barça conceded only 6 goals in the league. I think this team will still develop a lot with Xavi. Arteta's first two and a half years at Arsenal were very rough in terms of play and success. They started playing an extraordinary game this year. I think Xavi will do the same. It can even do better.

[snipie]

Barcelona play better football than last year and they also have a much better starting position than last year. But they now also have access to Lewandowsky, which also makes a big difference.

Lewandowski is a good player, he is the top scorer of La Liga right now considering that Benzema was absent in several games due to injury and he scored 8 goals.
Otherwise, Barcelona improved a lot under Xavi management even though they failed in CL and might fail in EL too. In La Liga, Barcelona has solid defensive line that received only 6 goals after 16 rounds, which is the advantage of the team. The attack line is doing good their job making the team gets the lead in the table.

There will continue to be more pressure on Barcelona. The e points difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is like no point difference because only one match that Barcelona fails to win will close the gap.
Assuming that the point is upto 5 and above I would have believed that Barcelona can win the title. But for now it is still under serious contention and Barce may give up even before El clasico

The remaining twenty-two games and the current points difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is only three points. The opportunity is still very much open to become the La Liga champion this season. There may be some mistakes that will be made by them during that time, because they are still competing for Europe.

Another interesting thing is the Relegation Zone, I see Elche have never won. In fact they can only Draw in four games and have four points. Eleven points with Sevilla at number seventeen. So it is very likely that Elche will be relegated if this continues.

Barcelona and Real Madrid both have their fair chances to go super Turbo on the table and failed to convert that opportunity, when Barcelona was supposed to hit hard on Espanyol, they drawn and Madrid becomes more closer after they won Valladolid and when they had the chance to go ontop of the table, they didn't and now Barcelona has taken back the lost opportunity they once had, I doubt if they will slow down soon.

The Second leg is about to start, that's another hell journey we don't even know what will happen, things can still  an go side ways with the little time we have as some teams can still maximizes their efforts to make up for their mistakes, I mean 16 out 38 so far is still a very long journey to accomplish.

[BRINIRHA]

A draw for the match is not a decent result for Bilbao, because Bilbao can really control the game by winning in many statistics. With the victory from the statistics that Bilbao has, then Bilbao should be able to score at least one goal and win three points in that match.
But indeed, the draw is worth it for Osasuna because they can play with good defense and discipline. But for Bilbao, who are playing at home with such a good statistical advantage, a draw is not a decent result for Bilbao. But yes, maybe that is indeed the limit of Bilbao's abilities, maybe they are still not so good at making the final finish.

Even Athletic Bilbao was good team on field and have enough chances to score goal but things completely in favour of Osasuna which was here for having one point, and they have done this with their tight defense even most of the time all players were on for defense which helps them and not allowed Athletic Bilbao for having any positive chance for having full three points from this match with this result Osasuna is surely feeling proud because they are doing good job in this season.

Now after break Athletic Bilbao play two matches which give them two points, and they are not able to score any goal even no concede any goal but now have to stay at seventh spot which is surely not good because they deserve better now next week they have another challenge against Real Sociedad.

After seeing how Athletic Bilbao continued to build attack after attack but didn't score a goal, it really made me a little frustrated. and indeed Athletic bilbao should be able to win this fight. However, Osasuna is already aware of Athletic Bilbao's superiority in terms of attacks. so that Osasuna carried out a pretty good strategy by building a very solid defense. It's actually really unfortunate that Athletic Bilbao couldn't get full points in this match. because in the next match Athletic Bilbao will indeed face stronger opponents. Real socieded can even beat Osasuna with a score of 2-0. So I think Athletic bilbao will have to fight harder in the next match. because if they let their guard down, they might lose.

Three points meant a lot in the football as long as barcelona can keep winning the upcoming match. Remember that barcelona is also leading the goals compared with real madrid. That being said that when both have the same points and barcelona would be in the top position. Barcelona can use three points as the gap until the end of season. that will make barcelona has so many advantages.
In the football leading three points were good caused by madrid was under pressure if it will not bale to win the next match and the gap will be even bigger

Barcelona play better football than last year and they also have a much better starting position than last year. But they now also have access to Lewandowsky, which also makes a big difference. They won very businesslike last weekend at Atletico Madrid, usually a difficult hurdle to overcome. But in the battle for the championship you can't really draw any conclusions either, as both Barcelona and Madrid can lose points every week. They are both not so good that they just win everything. Xavi has a large share in the current game image of Barcelona. Barcelona can use success again. Last national title feels like 10 years ago due to the successes of Real Madrid.

Barcelona is giving its best game this year because they really have a very good player named Robert Lewandowski as a very professional striker, while currently Barcelona is succeeding at the top of the standings with quite high points, Xavi is a coach and as one of the strategists who used for Barcelona so it is only natural that Xavi plays a big part in the journey of Barcelona's achievements.

Barcelona’s gameplay has definitely improved from last season. And you’re right as they’ve now got a good starting position than they did last year. I think the addition of Lewandoski bolstered the squad after messi had left. I’m loving their winning ways now but I think there is even a greater hurdle ahead with matches like Real Madrid to be played.
Xavi has done a lot to being Barcelona to its winning ways as before and while that itself is no easy feat, Barcelona seems to right on track to being a goal scoring winning machine they once were in the Spanish La Liga

[X-ray]

Barcelona is giving its best game this year because they really have a very good player named Robert Lewandowski as a very professional striker, while currently Barcelona is succeeding at the top of the standings with quite high points, Xavi is a coach and as one of the strategists who used for Barcelona so it is only natural that Xavi plays a big part in the journey of Barcelona's achievements.

Lewandowski has become the successful transfer of barcelona last season. He has been adapting with the club so fast. He is a very good striker for barcelona. that's why lewandowski was able to be the top scorer in the la liga for his first season with barcelona. It seems like that benzema has a competitor now. I would like to see how xavi will try to solve the problem on its team. Xavi never got a great achievement with barcelona.
He was also an amateur coach that hired by barcelona. Xavi gonna be sacked once he will get nothing for this season.
Barcelona is lucky enough to get lewandowski. Lewandowski was a good striker. He is having a very good accuracy to convert the chance to be goal.

The breakthrough made by Barcelona in the transfer market at the start of the season indicates that they really want to give competition to Real Madrid in the La Liga title race. Barcelona has grown into a team that is able to restore confidence after going through a bad period since Messi left. The arrival of several top names in the Barcelona squad has made many changes to his appearance, Xavi has managed to make the Barcelona squad better since he replaced Ronald Koeman as Barcelona coach.

Having a three point lead over Real Madrid has not made Barcelona position safe, anything can still happen because the season is still long. Xavi must be able to maintain Barcelona performance to maintain the advantage of Real Madrid, Ancelotti will not give up before the season ends, he will continue to lead Real Madrid to shift Barcelona from the top of the standings. Only a win will keep Barcelona at the top of the table, Xavi must do so to claim his first title as coach.

Obviously, having only a three-point lead over, Real Madrid is not going to be good enough for Barcelona. But I think we have to give Barcelona enough credit for being able to hold onto the first position on the table.

Actually, we have to give Barcelona credit for being in first place even though they have a lot of problems going on. Real Madrid can obviously overtake Barcelona. There is still a lot of chance for Real Madrid to do that. But I just think Barcelona should be appreciated for how they have performed till now. But Barcelona will have to remember that the main target of Barcelona is to win the La Liga title right now. There will be a lot of people pointing fingers at them if they fail to do that.

[hahay]

Barcelona is lucky enough to get lewandowski. Lewandowski was a good striker. He is having a very good accuracy to convert the chance to be goal.

How do you know that Xavi will be sacked if Barcelona don't win any titles this season? Because I'm sure no source says that and in fact, Xavi still has a contract to coach Barcelona until 2024. So, I'm not so sure about Xavi's dismissal, because Xavi also only has a fairly short contract as Barcelona coach.
Also about Lewandowski and Benzema this season if they are compared, I think it is not quite right because Benzema himself is not fully fit this season because of the injury he has experienced. So Lewandowski doesn't have a strong competitor this season in terms of top scorers.

[Ahli38]

Barcelona is giving its best game this year because they really have a very good player named Robert Lewandowski as a very professional striker, while currently Barcelona is succeeding at the top of the standings with quite high points, Xavi is a coach and as one of the strategists who used for Barcelona so it is only natural that Xavi plays a big part in the journey of Barcelona's achievements.

And it looks like Barcelona will continue to be able to maintain its ranking at the top of the standings. because the opponents that Barcelona will face in the next matches are not strong teams. And Barcelona should be able to continue to collect full points in the next two matches. because the opponents to be faced are Getafe and Girona. and a fairly difficult match will be faced by Barcelona after these 2 matches. namely Barcelona will play Real Betis.

Barcelona will definitely maintain this position till they get to final battle to embrace the la Liga league title, because their performance is an excellent which will be one of the reason they will achieve victory from their remaining matches. I don't think, Getafe and Girona can defeat Barcelona because many things has changed positively with Barcelona which will be what will make their opponents to lose confident in their next matches. If Barcelona can defeated many strong teams to get to this position, I believe they will not allow any team to stop them in this season.

Barça were passing through rough times when they brought in one of their legend, Xavi Hernandez who lifted the team and carry their burden with ease, and today, the team board are happy that they gave Xavi an opportunity which he turned to a golden one without excuses like the rest of the past coaches. The bluagrana have top striker, Robert Lewandowski who is a professional experience attacker, he barely missed goal opportunities, he always scores in every game for barça and he's leading as the highest goal scorer. His presence served a good contribution to Barcelona, and there's enough time for the Poland international to create records in Barcelona. 

[piebeyb]

Right now it really isn't too important to discuss whether they were lucky or not because what is certain is that they also don't have time to think about that and what they have to do is focus on their condition and maintain their condition which currently has the upper hand.

yes, of course, the most important thing is to focus on the league championship this season, at least keeping the distance from Real Madrid at the top of the standings, as we know Barcelona did not qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League, of course they have to focus on fixing the many mistakes and failures of their previous team to win the league.

[OcTradism]

Obviously, having only a three-point lead over, Real Madrid is not going to be good enough for Barcelona. But I think we have to give Barcelona enough credit for being able to hold onto the first position on the table.

With only three points and uncertainty of Barcelona performance as well as strong ability of Real Madrid, it can become zero after any week. Having 3 points difference is better than nothing or falling behind Real Madrid.

Actually, we have to give Barcelona credit for being in first place even though they have a lot of problems going on. Real Madrid can obviously overtake Barcelona. There is still a lot of chance for Real Madrid to do that. But I just think Barcelona should be appreciated for how they have performed till now. But Barcelona will have to remember that the main target of Barcelona is to win the La Liga title right now. There will be a lot of people pointing fingers at them if they fail to do that.

Either Barcelona or Real Madrid, they are good enough to stand at a first position. I believe this position will be changed between them a few times till the season ending. Real Madrid will have bigger task in Champions League than Barcelona have their task in Europa League. Real Madrid might be ready to sacrifice La Liga for Champions League but Barcelona won't sacrifice La Liga for Europa League. It can be one of good advantage for Barcelona in their race with Real Madrid.

His presence served a good contribution to Barcelona, and there's enough time for the Poland international to create records in Barcelona. 

But still, after he is no longer young now Barcelona has a suitable player option as a replacement in the future. Lewandowski often has chances in every game, but now he needs to realize that his time at Barcelona may not be long and it's good that he's still leading the scoring charts with 13 goals during his time at Barcelona. So Xavi has prepared an alternative for his position. The capital that Barcelona has is quite brilliant, namely young players who are able to control the pace of the game starting to appear so extraordinary. There are Gavi, Pedri, Dembele and Raphinha who can counter the front lines well.

Yes true, for me he deserved the golden ball, Robert Lewandowski. He is an exceptional player and a very good professional.
I would really like him to play for my Juventus, but he certainly costs a lot of money and at the moment I don't think Juventus can spend it.
In any case, in my opinion Barcelona are putting a lot of pressure on Real Madrid

[KTChampions]

And it looks like Barcelona will continue to be able to maintain its ranking at the top of the standings. because the opponents that Barcelona will face in the next matches are not strong teams. And Barcelona should be able to continue to collect full points in the next two matches. because the opponents to be faced are Getafe and Girona. and a fairly difficult match will be faced by Barcelona after these 2 matches. namely Barcelona will play Real Betis.

I would not treat these two games as a guaranteed 6 points. In fact, Real Madrid and Barcelona for two this season lost points in only one big game (between themselves), in games against Atlético both teams scored 3 points. It turns out that almost all point losses (even rare ones) occurred in games with outsiders. It should be assumed that it is difficult for teams to score 90% of points, so there will undoubtedly be points losses. For example, in such games where no one expects this.
