La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[bitgolden]

I'm actually worried about Celta Vigo rather than Malloca, the defeat they just got has made them fail to improve their ranking. Being in 16th position with 17 points does not guarantee that Celta Vigo will stay in La Liga. The difference in points with the teams in the Relegation Zone is quite close, Celta Vigo has played 18 games, while Real Valladolid, Cadiz and Sevilla have only played 17 matches.
Sevilla looking to get out of the Relegation Zone can be a threat to Celta Vigo. They could fall into the Red Zone if they don't put in their best form in this side this season.

Celta have something to worry about, next 4 games in La Liga they will have very difficult opponents: Athletic, Betis, Atletico and Sociedad are all from top of the table and most likely they will not earn many points in these matches. Sevilla (with the exception of Barcelona) will have much easier opponents, so Sevilla should score points, being in the relegation zone is inappropriate for such a team. But they will also start EL matches soon, this is an additional burden on the team.

I do agree that there is a bit of a tough spot for them but at the same time if you are a team that is going to have hard time with beating your opponents, then you should be relegating to start off with. I mean as a team all you need is about 10 wins out of 30-40 games, which is not really that hard, and you could lower that and have some more draws instead, which would help you to stay as well.

I guess that the best thing for a team that can't reach those levels would be relegating and then rebuilding the team from cheaper but more fired up players and get back on the league again. Celta looks like they are not good at all right now, maybe a year or two at second division would help.

Real Betis is not performing well today against Espanyol. Real Betis conceded a goal in the first half. I thought Real Betis would win this match very easily. And I also bet Real Betis to win this match. Now it seems I was wrong. Espanyol's performance is better than Real Betis today. Since Espanyol are leading 1-0, they are now playing defensive tactics in the second half. It seems that Espanyol are not interested in increasing the goal difference. They want to win 1-0 and get 3 points.

Yes, Betis lost, although the statistics were on their side. Espanyol was just lucky that they were able to score that goal and earn three points in this game. But now they are well above the relegation zone, which should give them an incentive to keep playing well. After all, if they lose a few games, they are in danger of falling back into the relegation zone.

The first half of the match was over but Atletico Madrid had a 3-0 lead over Real Valladolid. Goals were scored by Morata, Griezzman and Hermoso. With this result, it is certain that victory belongs to Atletico Madrid, even though there will still be a second half later, it seems that Real Valladolid is very unlikely to turn things around.

Amazing first half for Atletico Madrid and with how good their defence is i think its impossible for Real Valladolid to turn it around let alone score 1-2 goals by the end of the match. Atletico Madrid will finally win in laliga and get back into top 4 positions.

I think Atletico's defense is still normal because Valladolid himself doesn't have many attacks and Valladolid doesn't have more frequent attacks, so Atletico's defense this match remains safe. But other than that, the goal that Atletico made was a quick goal that happened at least Atletico managed to score 3 goals in just 10 minutes.
Also, although Atlético is currently back in the top four, but the gap in points with the two teams below is still very close. Therefore, at least Atletico must be able to maintain their good performance to maintain their position in the top four in the La Liga standings.

it is impossible for Valladolid to catch up with 3-0 in this match because in the first place they found it difficult to develop a more aggressive game after losing 3-0. I believe Atletico Madrid will play carefully in the second half in order to maintain this victory.

Valladolid seems to have a big problem with their back line this season because looking at their percentage, of course Valladolid has conceded quite a lot this season. besides that their ranking is getting closer to the relegation zone if nothing changes of course valladolid can fall into the relegation zone this season.

The second half has started and now it's showing 75 minutes, the score hasn't changed, the advantage still belongs to Atletico Madrid with 3 goals. It seems that Atletico Madrid must maintain this advantage until the final minute if they don't want to concede a goal from Real Valladolid. Indeed, Valladolid's current position is almost into the relegation zone, but as long as they can win the next match it seems that it will make them safe and breathe a little easier.

The game has now entered the final 10 minutes and there are still no signs of Valladolid scoring in this match and Atletico are still quite disciplined in defending and attacking so far.
This could end up being a fixed score of 3 goals I think considering the current state of things. Even though Valladolid was able to keep up with Atletico's play and possession of the ball, I think their attack was still very weak.

[judas]

Atletico Madrid are about to do the expected thing from them. Because it was a really comfortable match for them obviously. They didn't surprise us by finishing the job in the first half already. This win might be some morale boost for them but I still don't want to say something about their future early. Because their main problem has been consistency and we never know what is coming for them next. Osasuna are a team that can make big difficulties for them unless Atletico Madrid don't improve their effort gradually.

Even if they finish in top 4 I still hope Simeone leaves at the end of the season. This team need big changes.

With this winning condition, at least they are a little safer from Villarreal's pursuit, because even though their 3-point advantage at this time can be caught, they can still be in the top 4 later because Villarreal must score half a dozen goals if they really want to shift Atletico.
Their game in this match was quite good. They didn't throw away their usual chances but their scheme was still a bit boring.

[LGD2Business]

After scoring 3 goals in the first thirty minutes, they stepped on the brakes, they could have scored more goals, but they idled the game. Valladolid never got into the game today. Memphis Depay also played as soon as he arrived, entering the game in the last 15 minutes. It looks like that he will enter the jersey race with Morata.
Now there is a match that concerns the lower standing. Having perhaps their worst time this season, Sevilla will play with Cadiz, another team on the relegation line this time. Sevilla now has to win this match no matter what. This may be the last chance for Sampaoli. I can't understand why they fell so much, they actually have a very good squad. Let's see if this match will be a comeback to the league for them.

Simeone will be leaving at the end of the season, It has already been said. I agree with you, the team needs changes. Aside from the inconsistency, the way they play is a hindrance to them, especially against big teams. They tend to be too defensive and respect the opponent a bit too much. They are in no position to play that type of football, they have so many attacking-minded players to play football like that. I respect Simeone for all he has done for that team and he's a legend but they need some things to change, like the way they approach games.
Except he (Simeone) wants to rest for a while, finding a new job won't be a problem for him. He's a good coach but at this point in his career, pathing ways with Atletico is best for both parties.

[Pulsar77]

Sevilla's form is very scary indeed and they had better hurry about fixing their issues. They are getting bigger and bigger in time otherwise. We are like in the middle of the season but they are still under the risk of relegation. Truthfully I really don't know what they need to do. They changed their coach but nothing is different. Then I say that the players are the problem. I can't say that the quality of the squad is bad because there are very capable players in it.

It must be related to their morale but I don't know how they still can't motivate themselves to get away from this threat in the standings. I hope the Cadiz match ends up with a victory for Sevilla and it helps them improve their effort.

Atletico Madrid ended the game in the first half within the first 30 minutes of game play. Valladolid found it hard to adapt all through the game. They only succeeded in making 1 attempt and that was all. But they tried not to concede more goals. I don't know if we can count on Atletico in subsequent matches to continue winning more games.

[Minecache]

I look at the Relegation zone, there is a very far difference in points for Elche. They have only five points in a draw. I think seeing this is very difficult for them not to be relegated this season. Meanwhile, Sevilla and Cadiz they still have a chance to move up because their selish points are less than three points clear of seventeenth place. In addition, the interesting thing is, the fourteenth to seventeenth ranks have the same points of seventeen.

Cadiz has a very good chance of getting out of the relegation zone. Because today I have seen Valladolid win against Atletico Madrid. If Cadiz can somehow win the next match? They will be out of the relegation zone. Actually, Cadiz will jump up multiple spots if they can win the next match. But it is very hard to say that they will be able to actually win the next match. Because the next match is against Sevilla. I know that Sevilla is not playing well at all this season. But a surprise can happen anytime.

And about Elche, I think they are going to get relegated for sure this season. They are not going to improve and get away from this zone, especially from this kind of circumstance.

20 minutes of running time there have been no goals scored so far but it's interesting to see Cadiz's performance in this match because indeed during these 20 minutes there was at least 1 chance they got even though this wasn't too threatening but this was pretty good for their start.
The chance of a draw is huge in my opinion but if Cadiz can play more disciplinedly I think this will be a narrow win for Cadiz even though they continue to survive in this match.

[Raflesia]

Although Atletico Madrid is behind in terms of progress, they are able to attack well in this match. From the beginning of the game, all teams attacked, at one point Atletico Madrid managed to score three goals.

Atletico played their defensive scheme at the start of the match but indeed they still experienced an advantage even though they had to fall behind in possession but for the second half they were much braver after winning 3 goals.
Errors from Valladolid did allow Atletico to counterattack which they could maximize well in this match.
This is a pretty good win because at least with this result they can still compete for their place as usual in 3rd place even though they still have 7 points to chase from Sociedad.

[KTChampions]

A magnificent victory that will give Real strength and self-confidence. A second loss in a row and elimination from the tournament would have been a big blow, but once again an epic comeback and Real Madrid avoided such a deep failure in such a short period of time. I'm very happy for Vinicius - he scored the most important goal that was the start of this comeback and it was a good response to the criticism that has been heard towards him lately.

Yesterday we have two matches which were play on same tempo and have similar results as well, but I was not expecting result like this from Real Madrid because they already lost their match against same opponent few days back in La Liga match and now things were not good for them, but they have done amazing fight back announce about their strength as well which could be surely now understandable for many these were feeling they are already out of the competition.

After trailing by two goals at the end of the first half Real Madrid and Manchester City both fights back in style and win their respective matches which is surely impressive from these both teams which are already on same level in their respective leagues and now have same challenge after few days in Champions League hopefully things could be good and favourable for them to win their challenging matches and qualification of the next round.

Imagine my feelings last night: I see a 0-2 result for Real Madrid and I think "is it really a deep crisis and the season will be a failure?". At the same time, I see the result 0-2 for City and I think: "how good, I hope this defeat completely ruins their chances for the title." And in the end, everything turns upside down in both games.
I end up going to bed happy and sad at the same time

[Velvet78]

Atletico Madrid got a very comfortable win and took a deep breath. But this shouldn't cause them to be complacent even a little. They need to make a huge improvement in their form to be more convincing. It is for their sake considering the Champions League ticket. They can't afford staying out of top four area at the end of the season. They are already having a bad season in general.

I think they will stay in top four at the end but the fans wouldn't be very contented with this effort anyway. Let's see what Atletico Madrid board think of doing in this summer.

[nurilham]

If you compare it to a player like lewandowksi indeed , but they could become an effective striker though in case lewandowski is not available , if there is no chance for xavi to sign a new striker then i think there is no choice to use ansu fati & ferran torres at the front and nothing really to worried about.

If Fati and Torres can be effective strikers, Barcelona won't sign Lewandowski. Honestly, I really doubt that these players can be alternative strikers, they are pure wingers. Although they also can play as center forwards, I am not sure they are strong enough to fight with the opponents' center backs. Fati and Torres must improve their physical strength if they want to play as center forward.

You are right about Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, they are both not dominant centre-forward but they are right wingers who can also play at centre-forward. Only Lewandowski is pure striker as centre-forward, but in urgent situations I think Xavi can play false nine formation.

False nine may be not a bad idea. But does it works effectively with the current players? I think it is not really suitable for the current Barcelona squad.

Taking into account that Real Sociedad has also won against Rayo Vallecano and that there are seven points of difference between both Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid, I agree that the latter must make a big effort if they want to recover the third place in La Liga.

In addition, there are currently 6 clubs with less than that difference between them and Atlético, so watching the rear should be a must also in order for them to avoid unwanted surprises.
