La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Raflesia]

But the problem for now is that they are in really bad shape when it comes to pushing the current players.
For example, during the previous match where Mendy had to be absent, in the end, his position was replaced by Camavinga, which was clearly not his ideal position there. I think Ancelotti has to make it rational. It's true that they are strong, but they also have to pay attention to several other conditions, such as losing a lot of players due to injuries which might happen at any time.

You are correct that injuries can happen and force the coach to make some unexpected decisions, i think it can happen to any club that does not have too many substitute players, Madrid have enough players, but i feel some wings are lacking substitutes if injuries or suspension happens. I feel Ancelotti knows about this and he has also prepared on what to do if things like that happen, they can even change formation for example. Real Madrid is a club that likes making big signings, so i believe that is why they are waiting for the summer, i feel the team they have now can challenge for the La Liga and champions league, it is the same team that won it last season, i don't think any player left, except Marcelo.

Madrid does have a lot of players but look at the current Fullback when Mendy was injured he didn't have another replacement because there really weren't any players in the same position there which made them have to put Camavinga back to play a little behind to stay awake.
This condition is proof that they are still lacking in terms of players but Ancelotti is still in his stance that he will not bring in players with their condition like this and their not-so-good performance in the last few matches.

If we should judge with the current form of Barcelona we will give the total possession and match fortunes to them, Barcelona has been excellent in their performance so far winning the last 6 matches be it league or cup matches is a good one for me and they enjoy a good history against their opponents, in the last five meetings against their opponents the won 4, their rivals managed to win just one so I will say that Barcelona is the favourite to win this game.

[GiftedMAN]

Barcelona few days time will play another away game against Real Betis , in this game they won't depend so much on Pedri who has been the source to putting them ahead in thr past three games.
Robert Lewandoski should be back to help he's club after returning from the three game ban after the red card penalty given to him as fifa and la liga head said no to the appeals from Barcelona. Barcelona been good with clean sheets, we shall still see them do same to win against Betis.

We say that about many teams and Real still managed to lose points and give Barcelona the lead by 5 points I am not saying Real will lose, but they have become a team that is inconsistent and bit of a wildcard, they end up with losing at the end of the day and you do not expect them to do that, you expect them to win against all the big teams and that's why I believe that they should not be a big bet for anyone.

You can still bet on them to win, and they will probably win, but lets avoid betting huge amounts on their games, there is a chance they could end up losing and we wouldn't want that to happen when we have such a huge amount to gamble.

I believe some gamblers may regularly bet on big teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona in all the match they play.
The chances of this team winning are indeed high, but they never guarantee that our bets are correct because every team that is their opponent in match also has the chance to beat their favorite team. Big amount of bets are going to be very risky, even after we won them in their 2 or 5 previous match, I mean all previous wins will be lost just because of one defeat.

[minime0105]

Real madrid as a team needs to do more in other to remain relevant in the race for superiority in the laliga, they have been inconsistent in their winning, playing draw in the Copa de Rey with Real Sociedad is not what was expected of a world professional team like Real Madrid they hurt the anticipation of many bettors and fans, they have to do something fast in other to right their wrongs for a good result.

Madrid does have a lot of players but look at the current Fullback when Mendy was injured he didn't have another replacement because there really weren't any players in the same position there which made them have to put Camavinga back to play a little behind to stay awake.
This condition is proof that they are still lacking in terms of players but Ancelotti is still in his stance that he will not bring in players with their condition like this and their not-so-good performance in the last few matches.

It's rare to see Real Madrid in such difficult conditions, but I think I need to get them to stay like this until the end of the season. It is definitely an advantage for Barcelona when Real Madrid is in form problems and injuries to its main players, it has happened to Barcelona last season so Real Madrid does not have good competitors.

What I hope, Barcelona must take advantage of this to continue to get positive results in each of their matches. Barcelona will play Real Betis tomorrow, it will be tough match and I hope Ter Stegen can impress and win. 3 points will secure top position again, that's what I hope.


Now it's Barcelona, ​​and some new news about shirt number change for Pablo Martín Páez Gavira or Gavi in ​​the spotlight. Gavi got this jersey number that Xavi used when he was active, this is special for Gavi.

Gavi to wear the number 6 jersey for Barça

The FC Barcelona number 6 is going to be Gavi from now on. The midfielder is changing jersey number from the number 30 he was worn since 2021/22. Gavi inherits a number worn by players such as Migueli, Guillermo Amor, coach Xavi Hernández (who wore the jersey for the most seasons for the Club), or more recently Dani Alves, Denis Suárez, Todibo, Carles Aleñá and Riqui Puig.

Betis are actually one of the teams that fight hard against Barcelona. Of course I don't mean that they are getting close to them in ball possession. However this doesn't mean everything in football. For example they faced each other in the Super Cup three weeks ago and Betis showed a really decent performance in that. They carried the match to the penalty shootouts although Barcelona won at the end. Betis can resist them in the same way in their match up next as well.

This is a quite challenging match for Barcelona in my opinion and this week might be an opportunity to close the gap with Barcelona a little. But in my opinion this won't be like the Super Cup match. I mean I think Barcelona won't let 90 minutes end in a draw.

[RockBell]

I don't see Madrid carrying the league this season because they haven't put in as much effort as they did last year when Karim Benzema was unstoppable, Barcelona is already in the lead with five points and has only drawn once in their last five games, while Real Madrid has lost one game and drawn one. I also don't see real betis winning against Barcelona.

At the moment Betis' condition is not very good and of course there is a big chance for Barcelona in this match, but when you look at them at this time, which is indeed a little lacking in goal productivity, this can also affect me, because if you look at the last few wins, including their 2 wins in La Liga they can only score 1 goal in every match and the actor is the same, namely Pedri. This will be a bit of a hindrance if you still can't turn opportunities into goals.

I think madrid is currently more focused on fighting for the Champions League championship which will soon start it seems like they are really keeping their players in good condition in hosting Liverpool later even though now Liverpool is not a tough opponent but in the Champions League every club always has surprises, after all there is still time to catch up with the Spanish league to top the standings

Real Madrid failed to grab the three points in the game after a goal-less draw against real sociedad. The game was filled of actions from the Los blancos who took every single chances to net a goal but the visitors didn't hold back with a strong defendline in the match. That's the third draw for real madrid this season under Carlo Ancelotti.

That is why we were so disappointed with the result, although it is not a loss, but the drawn result is also disappointing. If they can win the match, at least, they can reduce the gap point with Barcelona, but they miss the chance and the point is farther right now. Although it is 5 points, it needs 2 matches for winning for Real Madrid and 2 matches for Barcelona's losses and I think it is quite difficult, moreover because Barcelona right now is very motivated and on fire to be much farther in the top standing from Real Madrid.

Real Madrid got a draw vs Real Sociedad in La Liga and not in Copa del Rey. Well in both cases, this is beyond the expectation from Real Madrid..
They will play this Thursday vs Valencia which just sacked their coach Gattuso. Dunno if that was the best move to do, 2 days before the match against Real Madrid! I assume they aren't counting on that match a lot and they are feeling safe from dropping to the relegation zone since the teams there have difficult games too

Valencia will be a hard oppenet for real Madrid for sure, they will surely not let real Madrid get the 3 points easily because they also need to get at least one point and make themselves away from the relegation zone, real Madrid should definitely win this match otherwise la Liga title will be really hard for them

[blue Snow]

Barcelona wouldn't definitely problem when facing Betis on away. They have confidence and never lost in the last 13 matches, The problem is Barcelona now is rather barren. In the last 3 matches, Barcelona has won with 1 different goal only, which I think this situation is quite dubious, I doubt their victory tomorrow when still not sharp, Lewandowski must create a goal tomorrow to avoid draws.

To be honest, there's no difference between current real madrid with last year. Madrid is still using the same strategy as last year but the thing that makes it different is

1. Some players become even older like luka modric (37 years old), tony kroos (33 years old), Benzema (35 years old).

Those players have always become the main choices by ancellotti while its opponents were using a fully young talented player's squad. There will always be a difference between stamina owned by madrid and its opponents. This must become the main concern by ancellotti to give young players in madrid more time to prove themselves.

2. Madrid is only depending on benzema

As far as I can see madrid is always relying on benzema. there shall be a strong and young striker other than him.

1. Some players become even older like luka modric (37 years old), tony kroos (33 years old), Benzema (35 years old).

They have plans to replace those old players gradually. They bought Camavinga, Tchouameni, Vini Jr., Rodrygo and Valverde. Many of them are given more chances to play and gradually become more matured and taken more important positions in Real Madrid.

Those players have always become the main choices by ancellotti while its opponents were using a fully young talented player's squad. There will always be a difference between stamina owned by madrid and its opponents. This must become the main concern by ancellotti to give young players in madrid more time to prove themselves.

They have young players like Camavinga, Tchouameni, Vini Jr. and Rodrygo who can bring more strength, power and speed to their system.

2. Madrid is only depending on benzema

As far as I can see madrid is always relying on benzema. there shall be a strong and young striker other than him.

I disagree. Benzema is so important for Real Madrid but in the last two seasons and this season too, we see a very good growth of Vini Jr. Rodrygo is following a same growth journey like Vini and they can carry more tasks from Benzema in next season. I am not doubtful that these two players will stop their growth here as they are so talented and professional.

It's quite interesting to see the odds of this match, but seeing that Barcelona's performance this season is actually very good and there should be no doubts about betting for Barcelona. I agree that even though this is an away game, it seems that Barcelona will win this match, but if they can only score one goal before the final whistle sounds, it looks like this will be a pretty dangerous situation and Real Betis could reverse the situation.

With the game against Athletico Madrid if I'm sure, that game finally got to be a fulltime draw with Real Madrid getting the job done during extra time.
With the game against Real Sociedad, that was double draws in a row. With the game against Valencia, that game seem like a first half draw result and then Real Madrid winning the second half.

Gatuso hasn't been much of a good coach, at Napoli and presently at Valencia, I expected the sack bit it came just too early, good decisions because the results weren't getting improvement.

Three points today will see them behind Barcelona with two points. In the past games, Real Madrid Benzema hasn't been much of a good goal scorer.

I agree with you, because Real Betis don't have the power or strength to stop Barcelona not to achieve points from this match, and Barcelona are very ready to showcase new strategies that will make people to believe that they have the potential players to win this title. Based on Barcelona performance in their last 6 matches, showed that the match will end up for the favour of Barcelona no matter how prepared Real Betis will prepare for this match, because Barcelona strikers will definitely struggle to ensure they achieve goals that will bring them victory. I believe, Barcelona will defeat Betis 3-0 to maintain the first position in the la Liga league competition.

Latest meetings from them showed Barcelona have to hard struggle to beat Betis at Spanish Super Cup even the match have to ended with penalty kick and i think it showed Betis isn't weak team but indeed if we see from Betis recent matches Betis performance looks unstable and Barcelona could be utilized their weaknesses to earn full points today and wided their difference points with Madrid

I was often to say Barcelona is too much depend on Lewandowski to scoring goals that if he played Barcelona almost be certain win with big scores and after suspension probably he will return to play today and he can makes some different in this match and my prediction Barcelona will win with 2 goals margin but if we talking about betting options Barcelona has odds @1.7 this is quite higher than before and in my opinion this option is the safest bets for this match
