La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Distraction]

Atletico Madrid don't have a very comfortable matchup on this week maybe. But I would like to remind you of their last match against Athletic Bilbao which ended up with a 1-0 victory.

Atletico Madrid weren't even the favourite side in that match. They didn't have a good form back then also. But they are always full of surprises. It is hard to predict when they will win or lose points. Because they aren't one of the consistent teams in the league. Actually you might say their current form is consistent because of not losing any match. But they are still losing points due to getting draws in unexpected matches. Therefore I won't be sure of them here just because they defeated Athletic Bilbao away already. I think this time we will watch both teams scoring also.

However, in the Barcelona vs United match, neither team managed to score in the first half. Barcelona scored early in the second half in the 50th minute and conceded a goal just two minutes later. The match is now tied at 1-1. Let's enjoy the match.

United are leading 2-1 as of now in the 69th minute. But so far United have been a real threat as they have better chances and taking shots frequently. Barca are having good possession and passing but are unable to create anything promising. I hardly think Barca are gonna comeback right now with the way United are defending.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw. The performance of the players of both the teams was very good. However, the match could have been won by Barcelona had Barcelona not conceded a goal due to Kounde's mistake. But the first half was not exciting. Both teams played defensively. But the second-placed Barcelona and United players attacked a lot. And the match became exciting. It looks like the second leg will be more crowded.

Barcelona now aim to perform well in La Liga. Because Xavi and Barca management's main goal is the La Liga title. They really want to make sure of that. They will play against Cadiz in the next match. Barcelona need to get three points in this match and increase the point gap from Real Madrid.

Since being held to a 1-1 draw by Espanyol at the end of December, Barcelona have won all of their La Liga matches so far.
Barcelona won the league match 6 times in a row so far, and they are an unbeaten team since being beaten by Bayern Munich in the Champions League on October 27, 2022. That is a very good statistic for Barcelona so far this season, and now they have gone 17 match unbeaten.

It is very possible to expect Barcelona to extend their unbeaten streak against Cadiz because the quality of the two teams is very different at the moment. Cadiz may be looking to steal points at Camp Nou as they desperately want to stay away from the relegation zone, but Barcelona are the favorites at home. Even if Cadiz has chances, they may be aware that beating Barcelona is never easy.

Barcelona can continue the winning trend in the next match because cadiz is not a strong team considering they have been very inconsistent this season. However, when Barcelona faced Cadiz, it seemed that Barcelona would not be strengthened by a number of their core players, such as Gavi, Pedri, Sergio Busquest and Dembele who had not recovered from injury for a long time. That will make Barcelona have to work hard to be able to perform better like the previous match.

Moreover, Barcelona has a pretty busy schedule this month so Xavi has to work hard to be able to manage the energy of his players to appear stronger in every game they play.

Barcelona has a mission to maintain their unbeaten record when they meet Cadiz at Camp Nou.
Their main target is to win the match and keep the safe zone from their toughest rival Real Madrid. 8 points ahead of their eternal rivals makes Barcelona very confident to do their best without mistakes, but their main problem at the moment is the loss of their influential midfielder due to injury in the draw against Manchester United.

Pedri is certain to be out for a few match, and it is very doubtful that he will feature in the second leg at Manchester United. Sergi Roberto, Kessie, De Jong and Gavi were available, but the loss of Pedri completely changed the team's appearance in midfield. So Xavi must find the right solution against Cadiz so that his record can be maintained.

The unfortunate circumstance of a key player such as Pedri being injured is indeed caused for concern. I find myself quite apprehensive regarding the team's performance in his absence from the midfield. The forthcoming encounter against Cadiz is expected to pose a considerable challenge in the absence of Pedri. Nevertheless, I remain confident in Xavi's abilities to devise a course of action that will enable the team to uphold its winning record. It is distressing to ponder the possibility of Pedri's non-participation in the second leg against Manchester United. Yet, my faith in the remaining midfielders like De Jong to exhibit prowess and fill the void remains unshaken. One can only hope that this will permit Barcelona to maintain their impressive streak of victories in La Liga and proffer stiff opposition in the Europe League playoff round. The ensuing period poses a formidable challenge for the team, but I remain optimistic regarding their prospects of excelling.

It's quite funny that after getting into the Europa League, Barcelona tightened its game schedule - the break in the Champions League between games is 2 weeks, and in the games for the right to get into the 1/8 of the Europa League, only one week. But they are lucky enough that in La Liga during this period their rivals are among the weakest - Cadiz and Almeria.

[Jody.Drummer]

Head to head Girona and Almeria I think is quite interesting because when they compete, they at least get wins and loses more often. I mean, it's quite rare for them to end the game in a draw and yes, I think it's an interesting head to head.

Because at this moment they only have a two-point gap, but whichever team can win this match, that team will be part of being in the middle of the standings. But considering their trend so far this season, it looks like Girona does have a better chance of winning because Girona will also be playing at home.

At least in every game these two teams always have at least 2 goals scored and that makes the match much more exciting because the two teams carry out attacks on each other's defensive sides. Even so, Girona did have a pretty good win compared to Almeria. But the difference of these 2 points can be a motivation for both teams to get the best results for this match.

This is a balanced match in my opinion regardless of their position in the standings, because they are currently in a bad trend. Even though Girona is more favored, that doesn't mean that it closes the opportunity for Almeria to get points in this match. Girona will act as the host in this match and surely that will motivate them even more to win. Almeria is in a bad state, Girona is the same, it's just that they are still better compared to their guests this time.

Barca will definitely win Cadiz,to keep topping their league. I don't see the match as a difficult one for them, no matter the absence of some key players. What I am more concerned is their match with Man united next week. Barca didn't perform well if not they are not suppose to draw yesterday's game against Man united. It wouldn't be easy for Barca to win in old Trafford. There is laxity in Barca's midfield and something should be done in respect of that by Xavi,if not I see Barca out of the Europa league next week.

I'm worried about the player's absent, Sergio Busquet and Pedri and Dembele.... They would have made the job easier for Barcelona at home during the weekend but I doubt they can win Cadiz comfortably without these players.
I'm convinced Cadiz would find the back of the net against Barcelona too, Barcelona conceded two goals finally against Manchester United. Cadiz should look up to how Manchester United did that and also do. To be a bit biased, I'd say Barcelona will draw this game.

Girona should find this troubling tonight but still they should have the upper hand against Almeria who has a poor away record according to stats.

[Alanaz]

Osasuna will host Real Madrid, who managed to win again the previous week by beating Elche with a landslide score. Osasuna is in a negative trend by experiencing 3 draws and 1 defeat in their 4 matches. Real Madrid does not look prime, but that does not mean that Real Madrid will be easily held by Osasuna. They can hope Real Madrid will drop again if they want to pick up points from this game.

[RealMalatesta]

Everybody knows how atletico madrid plays that they depend on defence and counter attack and other teams know this and know how to play against them so this is why the results are bad for Atletico this season. If they are gonna play like this they need to get players that do this right and not get players that play an attacking style. Not everyone can play atleticos style

Basically, when you have a system in place, if it is a good one then you will have a few good years with it, but then teams will eventually figure out and when one team does, everyone repeats that to get success against you.

This is what happened to ATM as well, they had a great few seasons, even won a title, because their tactic was great, but eventually other teams figured them out and found tactics against them which worked, and that is why they are not getting any good results. Same could potentially be said about Liverpool as well, Klopp had amazing tactic, but after this many years, people figured them out and that is why they are having a bad year too.

Cadiz is not as strong as you think, but I don't think Barcelona will underestimate them. Don't worry, Barcelona have enough players to rely on in that match even though Pedri and Busquets are absent due to injury. It's good momentum for other players like Kessie, Ferran or Ansu Fati and Roberto, and they have to prove that they are needed by the team.

It's true that Pedri and Dembele really have something to rely on in terms of quality, but Barcelona shouldn't rely on them for maximum results. Raphinha played well against Manchester United, and he could take full time or most of the minutes in Barcelona's next home game. But because Pedri is injured, I think Gavi will be placed in midfield where his current position can be replaced by Ansu Fati or Ferran.

After watching the Europa League between Barcelona and Manchester United I concluded that Barcelona would be the champions of La Liga. The boys are playing good football if not so Manchester United would have won Barcelona in the Europa League fixture.
I did not see any club in La Liga that is going to be a stumbling block to Barcelona apart from Real Madrid when they meet again in the coming weeks.
Cadiz will only try to share the points but it won't be possible for them.

Girona previously lost against Cadiz makes me doubt with this team, although Girona in this match the favorite but their performance also not good. So there is a possibility Almeria will get points in this match, because the previous match against Girona head to head Almeria was able to get full points, even I guess Almeria will win tonight.

In any case, Barcelona has proven to be the most stable at the moment. There is no team better organized defensively than Barcelona. Still, things can turn quickly. They don't score many goals themselves and 2 corners or 2 free kicks from the opponents can easily score a goal. I think Barcelona will really have to score more, they are still giving away too much space. Real Madrid has been giving away a lot of space for years, but they have factored that into the game image, and that is often offset by many goals. They may be in a lesser phase now, but I still expect Real Madrid to make the title fight exciting.

not only has it proven to be stable but it has proven to be almost back to its former glory
I remember at the beginning how people criticized Xavi a lot, I said, make him work and you will see that he will succeed!
in fact I was right

[Velvet78]

After having a very comfortable game against Elche, Real Madrid are going to play against Osasuna away this time.

I expect this game to be more challenging. But on paper Real Madrid are very highly favourite side of course. When we look at their match history in Osasuna's stadium we can see that Real Madrid destroyed them most of the time. It has been more than ten years since Osasuna beat them there the last time. In addition to that Osasuna are having bad weeks recently. While Real Madrid are in good shape I think they will continue with another win. I just wonder whether Ancelotti will rotate the squad. Because there is a Liverpool game closing in.

What's the point of accrediting 'em praises to FCB now?? Is it judged based on the past legacies they had? Or from its name? I thought every current victory was supposed to determine the team's present form?
If only 2 corners or free kicks could put the ball in Thier net, then I don't think they have a good defensive strike there.
Madrid has a good basement as we still got some old players actively striving in Thier squad. Remember back then when Barcelona took the lead in almost 70% of the Liga tournament? Maybe this is just pay back time...lol

Valentin Castellanos' quick goal made the difference in this match and this was good capital for Girona at the start of this first half.
Now they are a little more confident even though the match is still a bit monotonous for these 20 minutes but I think this is a very good capital for them regardless of anything they are one step more confident.
Even though in this match I didn't choose between the two for betting, but usually for a team that incidentally is a team in the middle standings there is always something interesting to watch.

Osasuna is ranked 9th on the table but they lacks the qualities to face Madrid presently. Osasuna is an average team in laliga and there's every probability that they ought to lose points whenever they faces real madrid. The Los blancos are keening on equalizing points with barça who are ranked first on the table. Elche is in the relegation zone so I wasn't expecting any miracle to happen for the inferior club, rather real madrid smash them in a disrespectful manner. Carlo Ancelotti needs to rest some of his keyplayers in the game for the preparation for the upcoming tough game in the champions league.

[minime0105]

In the last few matches Real Madrid has been playing well with this their recent performance I have come to conclusion that in their next match they will defeat their opponents because they enjoy a good head to head record against the host team, ordinarily Real Madrid is a very good team both in their league side and the away outings, this team is currently the champion league champions for now, they are always ready to make more impacts but they need to do more work in their mildfield and attack this will enable them to successfully win their future matches.

Cadiz is one of the clubs that can be said to have the worst defense at the moment so regardless of Barcelona's current condition with performance, players and mental condition everything is clearly profitable for Barcelona especially now they are playing at Camp Nou. The conditions are still the same as the favorites for them so there is no need to think about the current conditions because I think Cadiz is not that strong even though several possibilities will occur later, Barcelona is still a clear favourite.
