La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[LUCKMCFLY]

It was absolutely a well-deserved win for Barcelona in the Super Cup. Real Madrid were horrible in the first half. They tried to do something in the second half but they still couldn't prevent a 3-1 loss. It must be feeling nice for Barcelona to win a title in this season. Maybe it wouldn't be the same as the La Liga title but still it is a good achievement.

Now their target is going to be to win the La Liga title. Real Madrid will be a bigger threat there of course. I wonder if Barcelona will maintain this performance against Real Madrid again in the other El Clasico in the league later on.

Finally, Barcelona made its best contribution by winning in this very prestigious league. With the victory that Barcelona won, it is hoped that Barcelona's condition will improve and more investors will come in to provide support for Barcelona in the following La Liga season.

I am from Real Madrid, but I also have to admit that the Spanish Super Cup was won very well by Barcelona and I liked it, I hope they continue like this, this makes all of Ancelotti's players and even Ancelotti himself react much more, they have to to be more confident, Benzema scored a goal almost out of pure rage, that rage should have been channeled into making better dribbles and more goals, I saw Vini Jr as very lost, he would run like he was crazy, and he couldn't stop, I also saw many inconsistencies in the passes of Real Madrid, I did not see that the forwards understood each other, it is curious, Man City lost for the PL and Real Madrid in the super cup, it is something that I had to assimilate on that day.

Copa del Rey will resume and we have 2 interesting games between Barcelona - Sociedad and Real Madrid - ATM. Obviously everything could happen there but Barcelona and Real Madrid are favourites in my opinion.
For the other 2 games, we have Valencia - Bilbao that might be hard to predict since both teams are fluctuating a bit in La Liga.

The game that will be faced by barcelona is far easy compared with real madrid that must have faded its rival atletico madrid. I will not focus with barcelona caused bu it was facing easy opponent. My focus was on the real madrid which will face atletico. atletico madrid can be considered as a strong team right now. The golden performance by griezmann was coming back again. Real madrid must be careful with griezmann. griezmann was a threat for real madrid. about Valencia against bilbao and i think that valencia is a bit superior compared with bilbao. I will still pick real madrid in the duel between real madrid against atletico madrid. i can hope only that real madrid will be facing barcelona again in the final. real madrid must do revenge against barcelona. Barcelona seems able to win against. My concern is sociedad has a bad head to head against barcelona but dunno if there was a big changes happened in the club.

Well, as for the Copa del Rey, I think that this time Real Madrid will not miss the opportunity, because they have it saved for Barcelona for having lost in the Super Cup of Spain, however, they cannot claim victory yet, it is obvious that now Barcelona is playing with everything it has to continue in first place in the League, that is something that is very obvious and that is obvious, however Ancelotti with all his experience must change the strategy he is carrying out and it is that leaving everything to play the final of the games is not working for him, I think that now the strategy must go in which the whole team manages its energies in an adequate way so as not to suffer wear and tear.

Xavi plays it:

Xavi makes public transfer plea after Arsenal fail with £53million move

Barcelona boss Xavi has publicly spoken of his admiration for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi – who has been the subject of transfer attention from Arsenal.

Zubimendi, 23, has a £53million (€60m) release clause in his contract at the Basque club, for whom he has made 120 first-team appearances having graduated through their youth system. Reports in the Spanish press claim the deep-lying midfielder rejected the chance to join the Gunners this month out of loyalty to his club.

Barcelona are not that strong this season, am Suprise seeing them toping the Spanish Liga, I can't really see what they are playing and how come they are at the top of the league.

In my opinion, Barcelona is much better and stronger than in the previous season. Xavi has brought Barcelona to get better condition. We also know how their struggle to be in the top standing of La Liga right now. Although sometimes, their consistency is lost,, Xavi can still able to manage their team very well. They have some strong players in the squad with Xavi as the coach. Although their strength may not be as strong as the Messi era at that time, we can see how the progress of this team so far. So, it is not really surprising if Barcelona can win the trophy. For La Liga itself, we are still unpredictable about who will win the match and bring the trophy this season, between Barcelona and Real Madrid. We still have the time.

Kick off Barcelona vs Real Sociedad starts now.
The conditions remain the same as favorites Barcelona but for the first few minutes it looks like Sociedad are looking to try to take control in possession.
They have to be careful if they want to keep pace with Barcelona's current game because we know Barcelona is still Barcelona with its tiki taka which is quite strong after Xavi is here.

The match has ended with barcelona winning the game 1-0 against real sociedad. Real sociedad is a difficult opponent for barcelona. Barcelona has more than 75% of ball possessions but it was making only a few shots on target. Only 1 shot being able to be converted into the score for barcelona. that being said that if barcelona goes to the next round. Xavi may be feeling so good with the result of barcelona even though if barcelona was winning the game with small score.

[TelolettOm]

No matter what the score is, it doesn't matter. The goal was victory and their final result was qualifying. As usual, Barcelona's problem was not able to penetrate the Sociedad defense that piled up many players in the defensive area. This proved that Barcelona could only make a goal in the 52nd minute. Sociedad also played with 10 men as Mendez was red-carded. Perhaps if there hadn't been a red card the match would have been different, Barcelona might have been harder to win.

Sure, the most important is the win, not the number of goals. But with 1 goal only, it means a lot that Barcelona is not very effective at attacking. Although Real Sociedad only played with 10 players since minute 40', Barcelona only can make 1 goal. I feel something wrong with Barcelona attacking, their attackers look to have less of accuracy. Xavi must fix this problem, so they won't have a problem when they play in the next El Classico or the other big matches.

We all know that Barcelona is still trying to recover from past misfortune and in doing that, their performance may not be up to the expectation, but even with one goal it still makes a big difference for Barcelona who is fixing its team to meet up with other stronger clubs squad this season.
Most of the clubs in the same zone as Barcelona are not performing up to what Barcelona is doing presently and also I am not disputing the fact that alot more need to be done in their next match to sustain a good temple for consistent performance for Barcelona ahead of this season final stage of the premier league.

I agree with you, and sometimes i feel that the elimination from the champoins league is a helpful think because this way the team will be forced to focus on La liga, getting the title this year will be the best cure for them to forget what happened to them in the previous seasons

They have not just won but also keep a clean game with allowing opponents scoring and tearing up the defense tonight, one must admit that Barcelona are gradually regaining themselves from the problems and setbacks they found themselves with Koeman as coach of Barcelona.
The win last night wasn't enough but that's a good game still making preparations for the big meet up again Manchester United.
That game will be on Le of the best test for Xavi to test how good tactics he has in Europe.

The elimination from the UCL was giving Barcelona more time to restructure its team. Xavi has more time to did various experiment with its team and yeah xavi has found the best strategy that can be used for his team. It can be seen from the recent performance by Barcelona. This club is always increasing a lot. I meant we must also be aware of the fact that Barcelona is slowly going up again. It has been winning a trophy and I expect xavi wanna try to add more. The possible trophy for now is la liga trophy but real madrid didn't wanna let Barcelona to win the trophy easily.

The superior number of players since the end of the first half after Brais Mendez was rewarded with a red card made it easier for Barcelona to continue the match. Barcelona managed to seal victory after Dembele managed to score the only goal of this match in the second half, this victory made Barcelona advance to the semifinals.
Barcelona again kept a clean sheet in this match, a solid defense can help Barcelona more easily achieve positive results in the next match. Xavi must increase his attack power and improve his finishing to increase his team's lead, because in the last two matches Barcelona have only been able to score one goal.

It seems that Real Sociedad cannot be underestimated. Even though Barcelona did dominate the game, as we saw in that match, several Real Sociedad attacks really endangered Barcelona's goal even in the last minutes. even though throughout the second half Real sociedad played with 10 players.


Even in the first half, Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad) also almost scored a goal against Barcelona in the 30th minute. However, Barcelona were lucky because the ball only hit the crossbar. I was surprised at that time. But Barcelona also did a lot of very good attacks. but unfortunately several opportunities failed to be utilized to the fullest.
Despite winning by a narrow score. But I am quite satisfied with Barcelona's performance in this match.

Real Sociedad is a very strong team this season. And they have been able to continue their good performance since the beginning of the season. I don't think they will have any problem in qualifying for the Champions League. It was not easy for Barcelona to win against such a team. However, the entire match was dominated by Barcelona players. Xavi's match strategy is quite effective. They keep possession of the ball and do not allow the opposition to create attacking opportunities. Barcelona had 74% of the ball possession in this match as well. Real Sociedad could not create many attacking opportunities.

Yes, I think the win is everything and what the Barcelona team want regardless of the number of goals, moreover had it been they played better and lost the game they will be blamed for not being able to score goals even one goal but they were able to register one goal and get all the 3point that is needed. Yes, I think the Barcelona team needs a lot of work to be done on it especially in the attacking force and midfield because they are suppose to score more goals and dominate more against Real Sociedad who played with one man down but I think they can still do more in their next game.

Real Sociedad became a team of 10 after seeing a red card in the first half. Barcelona had a good attack in the first half. But despite many attacks in the first half, Barca could not block any ball in the net. Yet Real Sociedad were in no way behind in the fight. Ousmane Dembele's goal in the second half created a huge gap after a fierce fight. And Real Sociedad lost in this gap. Barcelona luck opened mainly in the 40th minute. And this goal ended with no more goals in the entire match. Barca advanced to the semi-finals with a 1-0 win.

Maybe it's true, even though many people consider it a failure when they are eliminated in the Champions League, on the positive side they can focus on La Liga to get the title here. But again and again only a few people realize this, most of them want to see a team succeed instantly, no matter how bad things get. Today we have seen Barcelona develop, and I think next season they will be able to say a lot more in the Champions League.

Real sociedad was very defensive in the game with holding back and tighten all areas of their backlines with tough formation, 4-3-1-2 but their plans changed when the referee issues a red card to Mendez for a foul committed in 40th minutes of the game. Barça kept the pressure on and a goal-less first half. Real sociedad tried holding them back in the second half but all to no avail. Barcelona had a narrow escape from real sociedad in Copa del Rey game last night. A point for the bluagrana to prove, all credits goes to Ousmane Dembele who gave his team hope with a superb goal that sealed their winning in the game.

Well, that's the skill, too, to force the other team's players to foul. Barcelona played well in the match, pressed, attacked from the center and through crosses, it seems the only lack of activity on the left flank, and there Dembele managed everywhere on both flanks, as I think the best player of the meeting.
Barca has more of a psychological problem, if Barca score the first goal and do not score the second soon, then the problems begin. They do not know how to beat the opponent yet, the same problems Barcelona had with Getafe, Mallorca.
Nevertheless, 7 games in a row Barcelona wins, so we can say that the team actually found its game.

A goal that brings barcelona to the win meant a lot even though that was only 1 goal. I think that it doesn't matter how many goals already made. I think that losing 1 player was a disappointed for real sociedad. I think that if real sociedad was not losing one of its player and it's possible the game will be continue until penalty. Real sociedad is very strong. Barcelona was dominating the ball but it doesn't matter a lot for real socieded. That's very disappointed for real sociedad to get a red card.
I think that's unnecessary mistake that already made by real sociedad's player

This is really hard match for Barcelona because in my opinion Sociedad can performing well and surprisingly with only 10 players Sociedad can be threaten Barcelona defense with their counter attack and at the end of second half Barcelona seems lost to focus and their defender did a mistakes which makes Sociedad player Alexander Sorloth had face to face with ter Stegen and luckily Sorloth has wasted this chance
On the other hand next match will be so interesting because it's Madrid derby between Real Madrid vs Atletico apparently both of teams are in the good shape after beat their opponents at Laliga but i feel like Madrid will going to win this match because from the last 10 meetings in all competitions Madrid only lose once from Atletico and the odds for Madrid also looks very tempting @1.92

Real sociedad knows how strong Barcelona. that's why real sociedad was changing its strategy after red card was already issued to one of its player. Real sociedad knows that if that will be getting horrible results once real socieded goes offense against Barcelona. Barcelona was able winning against real sociedad. I think that real sociedad's player shall not make a such a mistake against Barcelona. It seems like that the result from the match must become evaluation for real sociedad about which thing that was making the team lose against Barcelona.

Real Sociedad had a bit of bad luck as they lost the match. Maybe the result could have been different if not for the red card. But I would say Barcelona deserve this win. Barcelona players performed very well in this match. Not only did they dominate the match, but they also attacked a lot. Real Sociedad's defense was too tight. And the performance of the defenders was excellent. Otherwise, Barcelona would have won this match by at least 3 goals. Barcelona's match strategy and performance is improving day by day. If this continues, Barcelona will win the La Liga title this season.
