La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Jody.Drummer]

Actually Athletic Bilbao is not in good condition at the moment. We can see from the history of Bilbao's matches that in recent weeks they haven't won their victory again. they keep losing. And finally they were able to get a draw against Rayo. so that Barcelona in this match should really be the underdog. and the game has just started.

The match met everyone's expectations because indeed Barcelona managed to get back 3 points in this match, even though the current conditions were only a 1 goal win but still this was a win for them.
Now the Gap is still the same as its strongest competitor, namely Madrid and this is a good thing for Barcelona even though in some conditions now Internal problems are starting to come upon several accusations directed at Barcelona.

One goal that Barcelona scored against Bilbao made Barcelona manage to earn three points while at the same time keeping the distance from Real Madrid, who became its closest competitor. Bilbao defended well in this match, several attempts made by Barcelona could not penetrate the solid defense built by Bilbao.

After Raphinha gave an advantage at the end of the first half, Barcelona were still trying to find additional goals in the second half. Not a single goal was created in the second half, Bilbao occasionally tried to build attacks to equalize, but every opportunity they got could not be put to good use.

Having a 9 point lead over Real Madrid is very profitable for Barcelona for the next few matches, Barcelona is still firmly at the top of the standings without having to be pressured. This victory is a good capital for Barcelona who will face Real Madrid in the next match, while Real Madrid must face Liverpool in the UCL second leg before continuing an important match entitled El Clasico.

To be honest in this match I like Bilbao's performance regardless of the defeat they received.
They did lose to possession but in terms of opportunities I really liked what they did.
Barcelona won as expected but the performance was not good I think in this game and talking about their gap with Madrid now it is quite clear the difference and I hope there will be more competition in the future because indeed this gap is too big for an easy competition.

On the one hand, we also seem to be presented with El Clasico for the second leg of Madrid and Barcelona.

They are currently playing on the edge when they just score one goal, it is risky because you have to be afraid to concede one until the very last moment. But they are consistent in their defense and confident enough to win it that way. But I must say that it is not as spectacular to watch Barcelona play as it used to be quite a while ago.

The times when they win their games with 5-0 seem to be over. They rely much more on their defensive performance. They have been patient in their game, but they had more power offensively. Now it is control and less risk in the last third of the field.

What are your guesses for the upcoming game against Real Madrid? If Real Madrid loses it and Atletico wins their game, they could even make up a few points and perhaps compete for the second spot in the table.

[bering]

For the upcoming game tomorrow here is my pick

Girona FC VS Atletico Madrid

The stake odds for this game are 3.70 for Girona 3.45 for a draw and 2.09 for Atletico, right now Alexander Callens, Yangel Herrera, and Ibrahima Kebe can not play for the Girona FC, and Yan Couto is doubtful if he's going to play, while Reinildo Mandava, Sergio Reguilón, and Rodrigo De Paul can not play for the Atletico Madrid, for this game all injuries surely is not crucial players and surely Atletico Madrid is doing fine with their position while Girona isn't really that great with so this surely Atletico Madrid is pretty much the favorite to win here, so my pick is the Atletico Madrid,

Talking about Atletico they come to this match after humiliated Sevilla with huge scores 6-1 and i think they are in the full of motivation to earn 3 points from this match especially Atletico has unbeatable in the last 9 matches in Laliga and Girona condition actually isn't really bad because at least before this match they can win from Almeria and Bilbao before defeated Getafe last week

Nahuel Molina will return to the squad after suspension and this will increase the strength of Atletico defensive lines because so far he can performing well as right back and after scores 2 goals in the last match i think Morata should be played since early minutes and for bet option i have to agree with you that pick Atletico win seem good choice

On the one hand, we also seem to be presented with El Clasico for the second leg of Madrid and Barcelona.

Barcelona wins again thanks to good defensive play, well a 9 point gap remains ahead of El Clasico but Baselona is again the favorite for the bookmakers in this match, 2.1 and 3.35 at Real Madrid. So I don't know how many chances Real will have in this match and in general it is difficult for Real to beat Barcelona this season, they beat them just in La Liga 3-1 and after that there was a defeat in the Super Cup and in the cup match. But if Real Madrid still manages to reduce the gap to 6 points, it will already look somehow more real, and if Barcelona wins, then most likely they will not miss their chance.

Christensen, Kounde and the rest of the entire defense did good to win finally
Xavi is very happy for De Jong after the game, he has been so committed to Barcelona
Winning la liga would be such a big dream for them all

[3meek]

Atletico Madrid have a good chance of securing a place in the Champions League zone tonight should they beat Girona... But Girona have been playing well at home recently... Knowing how Atletico sometimes lose points in matches like this, I'll assume both teams will score today, but I still think Atletico should win...

[slapper]

Another important win for Barcelona against atleteco belbao, the win wasn't easy and belbao really did a very good second half, they even scored a goal but unfortunately iniaki Williams touched the ball with his hand, Barcelona team is running straight to the trophy and i think it's really hard for Madrid to catch them now

What a match! Athletic Club Bilbao is one heck of a team to beat, but boy oh boy, Barcelona managed to do it with a 1-0 victory! My goodness, I was at the edge of my seat the entire game, especially during the second half when Bilbao was putting on the heat, I mean really giving Barcelona a run for their money!

It's absolutely fantastic to witness Barcelona leading the pack towards the championship this season. My Madrid may try to play catch up, but with the way Barcelona is playing, it's going to be a real uphill battle.

Barcelona played with their typical style and nearly every player performed tremendously. I was particularly blown away by ter Stegen's top-notch performance as the goalkeeper - he truly saved Barcelona from conceding.

I knew it won't be easy for Barcelona, athletic bilbao will do them tough. Barcelona are so lucky to get 3 point from the game to go more ahead of Real Madrid. Barcelona are close to winning the league which they need to remain consistent to make it possible  and hard not to allow real madrid to meet them up.

[makishart]

Barcelona didn't have their best game maybe but it was still enough for a victory against Athletic Bilbao by 1-0.

To be honest how many goals being made by barcelona doesn't matter a lot anymore. The main aim is about how to win the game. 1-0 is good enough for barcelona caused by it was able to taking the full points against bilbao. Xavi has been putting its focus to the la liga. Xavi's target is not making the big scores as many as possible. The win against another team was just making even closer to the trophy. I think that score was not important anymore. Club's achievemend will be the first priority by xavi.

I was expecting Lewandowski to score as well but he didn't. Instead Raphinha was the savior of the team there. Barcelona were just having problems with finding the target as there were only 2 shots on target in the whole game. Their opponent had so many opportunities as well but they were lacking in finishing. Barcelona had better improve this game a little more if they want to win more comfortably. After the Valencia game this was another one they couldn't have full control.

Since raphinha was consistently become savior for the club and i wonder whether barcelona is still trying to sell him in upcoming season? Im a bit curious about that since it has been rumored that if raphinha and ansu fati will be kicked from al liga as soon as possible.

Even chelsea was also monitoring him right now.

Raphinha is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League sides Chelsea and Newcastle amid an impressive run of form at Barcelona.

Real Madrid help Barcelona themselves, they lose a lot of points in the last matches, when you are in the championship race with a team like Barcelona, you need to be better. I don’t know if Barcelona will lose points with Athletic today, because Athletic have looked very weak in recent matches, three defeats and a draw. So Real Madrid can only hope to close the gap in the next match when Real Madrid will play with Barcelona, but the match will be at Camp Nou so I don't know if it will be possible for Real to get points.

Real Madrid lost a lot of points in the previous match, drawing with Real Betis, Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad even lost to face Mallorca, nine points just disappeared from the last four matches of Real Madrid, making them lagging behind Barcelona at this time. While Barcelona managed to get three points in an away match against Atletico Bilbao, although in this match Barcelona had difficulty scoring goals.

But I don't think Barcelona will lose this match. Because I do not see any possibility of bad performance of the Barcelona team, the team has been doing great since the last matches. But even if Barca win this match, it will be a great fight.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen showed his best class in this fight, he managed to save when Atletico Madrid tried to do a goal scoring. Barcelona did not play more aggressively despite dominating the match and was only able to do two shots and there were not many opportunities that could be utilized by Barcelona. While Atletico Bilbao also performed well in this fight and almost held a draw or could have defeated Barcelona in the match, if Ter Stegen did not make four rescue.

Athletic Club Bilbao is always a team that makes it difficult for Barcelona in every match. Barcelona's 0-1 win at San Mames Barria last night seemed to confirm that to be true.
Although it was a tight game, Barcelona managed to get an important point to secure their championship path this season.
There were plenty of chances that could have been goals, but ter Stegen did well to keep Barcelona from conceding.
From the video highlights, Barcelona performed with their usual style of play and almost all the players performed well only constrained by the final finish.

Athletic Bilbao were no weak opponents. Bilbao was expected to try their hardest to get points against Barcelona. Athletic Bilbao's performance was very good. And I would say very lucky that they managed to get 3 points in this match. Although Barcelona had 37% of the ball possession, Bilbao's players made a total of 15 shots in this match. On the other hand, Barcelona made 10. Barcelona's defense was very strong. Also, Ter Stegen played very well in this match. However, I expected a good performance from Lelandowski in this match. Lewandowski's performance was not good.

Regardless of these considerations, Barcelona managed to return from that match with a win while adding to Barcelona's points collection. That is enough to prove that Xavi Hernandez's team is better than Athletic Bilbao
After failure in the Champions League and Europe, Barcelona learn many things not to experience failure again, especially in La Liga

[reagansimms]

Indeed Barcelona victory against Athletic Bilboa not easy but three points achievement make them keep comfortable on first standing position and enjoyed with La Liga tittle race from Real Madrid behind 9 points left. Barcelona have quit well performance than Real Madrid in La Liga despite have losing tittle chance in Champion League or Europe League but winning La Liga tittle in this season seems enough how to answer public's doubt with Xavi reputation.

Up coming next games become important for Barcelona because against Real Madrid and could be start for getting La Liga tittle in this season, winning on el clasico match make Barcelona close with La Liga tittle after waiting more than four years.

There is no other reason for Xavi than to prepare his team to always focus on La Liga after the opportunity to get the Europa League was prevented by Manchester United. The victory over Bilbao made Xavi a little relieved, he managed to make Barcelona ahead of Real Madrid by 9 points.
Xavi will try to continue to encourage the Barcelona players to always be consistent in the remaining matches this season, the La Liga title that is already in front of them must not be won by another team. Xavi must also be able to make Real Madrid fall when the two teams meet at Camp Nou, a win over Real Madrid will widen the gap between the two and bring Barcelona closer to the trophy.

Previously, Atletico and Girona were the teams with very good defenses, but now everything has changed, especially in Girona, they concede too much. Although Girona is still a very difficult opponent when it comes to home matches. Therefore, Atletico will be the favorite, but Girona will not give up points so easily. Atletico are likely to score because Girona's defense looks like it's full of holes right now.

The performance of each player in each season has differences in terms of stamina and performance, currently, Atlético still has a pretty good performance because it is proven that they are still in the top three at the top of the standings and are able to not lose in their last five matches, while Girona is not as good as imagined because their position fell in the top 12. So I'm sure that in this match, Atletico will have it easy against Girona.

Barcelona have quit well performance than Real Madrid in La Liga despite have losing tittle chance in Champion League or Europe League but winning La Liga tittle in this season seems enough how to answer public's doubt with Xavi reputation.

If Athletic Bilbao's late goal had not been nullified, it would have slowed Barcelona's journey, and Real Madrid will no doubt continue to have faith to finish first as well, but the mistake from the handball cost Inaki Williams that opportunity, It would have even been his first goal this year after the last one he had in October, it would have been an advantage for them because they don't seem to be doing well, it is either draws and losses.

Up coming next games become important for Barcelona because against Real Madrid and could be start for getting La Liga tittle in this season, winning on el clasico match make Barcelona close with La Liga tittle after waiting more than four years.

Whatever the outcome, I believe Barcelona and Real Madrid both deserve it for their efforts in the domestic league. I would be delighted if Real Madrid could recover soon, but I would appreciate Barcelona much more if they take the title because the reputation will be entirely recovered and credit to Xavi.

That goal in the last minutes, the emotion of those who were watching the game, and the disappointment to see the goal annulled! sigh...

Perhaps it was karma. It wasn't shown on the screen during the match but I have seen the images later: some fans from the Athletic Club threw a bunch of bills on the field in the minute 30'. IMO, that's not the way to behave, even when we all know that what Barça did was worse. But one thing does not take away the other.

Atletico Madrid has the advantage of being able to win in their match at home to Girona, but it will not be an easy match for them to win because even though Girona is in a position far from Atletico Madrid they also definitely want improvement in the standings. Ateltico Madrid must be able to play as well as possible, because it is possible that Girona will be able to make a surprise.

A quick look at the bottom of the Spanish La Liga table will reveal that once a good and competitive club like Valencia is struggling to escape the relegation zone.
By a matter of points. They are in the relegation zone. It is just a goal difference that is setting them aside.
Some seasons ago Valencia used to be one of those teams that represents Spanish La Liga in the Europa League even in the Champions League how have they fallen into this place? Do you think it is possible that Velencia will be relegated?

It was a wonderful performance from Barcelona.  Looking at the match, the winning was determined. I expected a win from Barcelona looking at the team and their recent perfomances even though missed lot's of chances but they kept working hard and had confidence in their team and the result was positive. I must confess that Gavi is a great and an experience player. His performance was excellent, their team work was really great. Barcelona really deserved the win.

On the paper it's clear that atletico win in everything.

But they have to watch it closely , girona always score big in the last three matches ... they always scored at least two goals as well as atletico who scored and past sevilla 6 in the last match so yeah i expect there might a lot of goals scored in the match , over 2.5 goals for me.
