La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[terrorJR]

In less than 10 minutes, the match between Villareal and Espanyol will end and the score is still at 2-2. Maybe this will be quite a difficult match for Villarreal because last week they just lost against Valladolid. As the host this is an important victory to secure full points and Villarreal's next target is to shift Real Betis' position which is only 2 points away if Villarreal manages to win this game. Let's see if Villareal can turn things around in the remaining minutes or they have to be willing to share points with Espanyol.

The match ended in a pretty dramatic win over Villarreal.
Espanyol missed the momentum they had created and their focus was blown as the game entered a crucial moment which Villarreal put to good use.
It was really an interesting match but on the other hand Villarreal really deserved a win like this especially with the possession of the ball and the chances they created indeed they worked hard in this game.

Barcelona suffered an unnecessary defeat. Still, Real Madrid has thrown away the title this year is my feeling. Barcelona is 11 points ahead, not because they played so great themselves or won a lot. They also really owe a lot to Real Madrid, which failed to win many games and often suffered unnecessary defeat. But maybe it is also good for Spanish football that Barcelona now takes the title, because it was already a few seasons ago. They do have a nice selection together, but they could not compete in Europe this season. Hopefully they will have more success in the CL or... EL

Valladolid got a quick score in the early minutes of their match, but in the second half Valencia managed to equal the score, now this game score is 1-1 draw but there are still 7 minutes left before extra time.

The extra time gave Valencia a goal, making it a 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid. It was a wonderful extra-minute goal by Guerra that lifted Valencia out of the relegation zone. With a 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid, they earned the three points necessary to move up from position 18 to the 16th position of the Laliga standings. With 33 points from their 31 games played, Valencia has at least managed to stay above the relegation zone with this victory. Congratulations to them.

Villareal have been very dominant in this game with how they have played, they have had the most attempts both in the first and second half but their attempts have been more effective in the second half and it why they were able to score four goals to ensure that they win the game and get the three points. E. Capoue who opened up the scoring for Villareal to put them on level terms with Espanyol who were lucky before the break, is also the the player who has ensured that Espanyol will get not even a single point from this game by scoring the fourth goal to close the game. If Villareal had lost with the very good performance they put up, it would have been an embarrassment.

31 attempted shots, 13 Shots on target, 65% Ball Possession. It was indeed quite embarrassment if they couldn't get three points in this game, but in the end they won. Tonight game very incredible, I mean not only Villarreal but Valencia they have almost the same situation they lost at halftime and won at the end. Also their last score was in last minute, amazing Sir both teams are quite fun today.
Soon Bilbao vs Sevilla match, this is the last match on matchday 31, these both teams can be said to be equal but Bilbao looks like they will try their best to get three points and take over place of Real Betis for a while. Also this match will be held at home Bilbao, it looks like they will be the favorites in this match, will it be as interesting as the previous two matches I mean away team took the lead in halftime? I can't wait to watch it.

The difference of 11 points that closes the distance between the two rulers of La Liga Madrid and Barcelona is quite far, with seven match remain before La Liga ends it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to overtake Barcelona at the top of the standings, Madrid needs to win all the remain matches in Laliga and hope Barcelona make another mistake again
Barcelona's defeat yesterday, in my opinion, was only part of make the competition at the top of the standings even more interesting, I'm not sure there will be a change in positions one and two.

Forget about the title race between Barcelona and Real Madrid, I think the competition is over this season considering that La Liga only leaves 7 match unplayed. Barcelona still leads the La Liga standings with an 11-point lead over Real Madrid, of course it is a safe point to expect the Catalan team to be able to win La Liga this season after being absent for 3 consecutive seasons.

Xavi is likely to secure his first La Liga title as Barcelona coach, he is ever closer to a success as a coach that will be reckoned with in the coming seasons. His qualities have been credited with being a great player, but his relatively recent coaching career will be recognized if he wins the La Liga title. This is Barcelona's best season in La Liga, they are the team with the strongest defense in Europe until Week 31. Conceding 11 goals in 31 match is a source of pride, not usual season for Barcelona.

We can now say with certainty without fear of making a mistake that Barcelona has won or is winning La Liga.
Real Madrid is all mentally and physically projected to the semifinal (and who wouldn't be) of the Champions League
if he passes this step, surely the cup will be all his (the Italian teams are currently suffering)

Of course, Real Madrid no longer have a very big chance of winning the La Liga title this season, but they have the desire not to drop more points for the rest of the season.

Barcelona has an 11-point advantage which basically made them almost celebrate before the end of La Liga, but their loss to Rayo Vallecano in the last match only made Barcelona slightly delayed celebrating sooner. Meanwhile, Real Madrid still has the chance to win the double this season if they can qualify for the Champions League final, which also previously qualified for the Copa Del Rey final, so they will try to do it. But, I don't put Madrid as favourite to final, I mean Manchester City seems to have chance to win the ticket to the final this season after failing in the previous season.

Another small problem is that Atletico Madrid are going almost close to RM, they are only 2 points behind and that's not much considering there are still a few more matches to play. Obviously, yes, Barcelona have won this season, but I can't call them much stronger than RM, they seem to be equal this season and the table... It's more like lucky here, unlucky there etc, i.e. you can't judge by it. You could judge by El Clasico, in which both teams have performed decently this season

Atletico Madrid is not a small club that should be overtly loomed down on and being a 2 point ls away from real madrid should not be a surprising thing to you because, with real madrid level of performance in this season, it is not surprising that teams like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will indeed close in on real madrid since there have been underperforming since the beginning of this season.

Unlike last season, when Real Madrid was at the top of the various leagues and with a wider point gap between them and their closest rival then.

[emrecemsan]

I wonder what kind of plans Barcelona have for next season. As they are really close to declaring their La Liga title for this season people will eye them the most for next one. Xavi has been doing a really good job in the La Liga so far however his main problem has been with the Champions League. Because Barcelona still can't give the expected performance to their supporters. The board must also be very unsatisfied with this poor effort there. It has been the case for two seasons which is another problem for the team.

Xavi needs to start taking the right steps to be successful in the Champions League as well. I wonder if one of these steps would be to sign Messi back in the summer. As you might have heard Messi doesn't have an intention to extend with PSG for now. Who knows maybe we can see a deal between Barcelona and him. Xavi has already given green light to reuniting with his old friend.

I was quite surprised after writing the post above that Villarreal immediately turned things around to 3-2. However, it seems that Villarreal is not quite sure about the difference in their advantage and in injury time, Capoue scored an additional goal while closing the score 4-2 for Villarreal's victory. This is a good result considering they really need these full points to continue to compete with other teams. For Espanyol it looks like it will be increasingly difficult for them to get away from the relegation zone this season, moreover they haven't won in the last 8 matches they have played including this match.

Real Madrid are not as strong as last season in La Liga, so that allows Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to have some competition. Barcelona, ​​which had basically failed in 3 consecutive seasons, actually started to show its best quality again under Xavi's tutelage, this was a truly extraordinary achievement for a team.

I believe Real Madrid are no longer compete for the title, in fact I have an assumption that they don't really care what position they end the season in as long as they are still in the safe zone of the Champions League next season. Real Madrid's main target right now is the double final, but I think they won't get that plan as easy as people think.

I doubt that the proximity of Atlético somehow excites Real Madrid. La Liga is already wasted tournament - they lost the title and received a ticket to the Champions League for next year, there is nothing more to worry about. I'm not even sure that Real Madrid cares much about the Copa del Rey final on May 6th, as given the status of the opponent, the result looks a foregone conclusion. The only task now is the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Messi back to Barcelona?

I don't think it's necessary, though. I don't know how their financial situation stands, but they were pretty constrained at the beginning of the campaign. In fact, if they win the la Liga, the gamble to sign various players in the last transfer window even with little money will have paid off.

Xavi can build around the existing team to achieve more next season

The two wins that Valencia got in the two matches they have played have had a good impact on their ranking in the standings table, in fact this is important for them because they managed to get out of the relegation zone. although until now Valencia's position is not too safe in the standings table because it has a fairly tight point distance from the relegation zone team, but Valencia opportunity to move away from the relegation zone is large enough that they can be utilized by Valencia players.

Valencia will face cadiz this week where these two teams are both fighting to stay away from the relegation zone. I believe Valencia will be able to continue this victory when they travel to the Nuevo Mirandilla stadium.

It was one of the worst matches Barcelona has played this season. There is an air as if the season is over, both in Barcelona and Real Madrid. When the score gap widens, of course, motivation becomes difficult. I thought Rayo Vallecano was going to score, so I went for over goal bets. Fortunately, the match ended 2-1 and my bet won.

Atletico Madrid is now more ambitious to be in second place. Real Madrid's loss of points helps them. Maybe they'll finish the season second. It doesn't matter for Real Madrid much, as long as they don't become the champion.

Valencia also won the match again and moved away from the relegation line a little bit. Even the prospect of their relegation was frightening for such an established club. I hope they get over these bad days soon.

Barcelona are in one of the best forms at the top of La Liga. But such a sudden defeat really surprised the fans. In the last match of Barcelona, ​​Barcelona tried to use new tactics compared to the opposition team, but I think the Barcelona players failed to adapt to this strategy. As a result, Barcelona lost.

That's football for you, you don't expect the perfect team, they have the relaxing moments where even the lesser club will strike them unexpectedly. What I see in that match is that Barcenola is just unprepared, but by the time they would be more serious, it's too late. Rayo Vallecano is not a team I expect to beat FC Barcelona but that's the reality yesterday. It was bad to point out that they (Rayo Vallecano) scored twice before Barca could be able to score once towards the end of the game.

Most clubs get relaxed when they are at a wide-gap level, but it boomerangs at times, just like in the case of Arsenal in EPL.

I mean they were 11 points ahead and Real lost, so that means that we are talking about a situation where Barcelona didn't give a damn, and that obviously resulted with a loss for them too. But there is no difference between 14 point leading and 11 point leading at this point.

They know they are the champions, they won't be even too happy when they finally win it, because it wasn't a last minute thing and they knew for a while that they won, so it won't come as a surprise anymore, it gradually became more and more obvious that they will win so they celebrated that each game so by the end when it is a sure thing they are not going to celebrate too hard since they knew it already. So in that situation you do not play with 100%, there is really no reason for it, you can still lose and get the title anyway.

Barcelona and real madrid both lost this week. they really threw away 3 points because they felt they had no more competition in the title race. Indeed, from a point distance, the two are still 11 points adrift from the closing match this week and the remaining matches for them are 7 more matches, which makes both of them no longer display a more aggressive scent in their game.

However, as a record, Barcelona performance in the last 5 matches is not good enough, where 2 draws 2 wins and 1 defeat. I think Xavi will continue to provide strong motivation for the players to continue to win so they can lock up the title faster.

The plan should make Barcelona squad stronger by signing more top players.
If they target to win UCL title for the next season, Barcelona squad must play more consistently and have better squad quality. Barcelona attackers and defenders need to strengthen, they seem not really convincing.

Xavi needs to start taking the right steps to be successful in the Champions League as well. I wonder if one of these steps would be to sign Messi back in the summer. As you might have heard Messi doesn't have an intention to extend with PSG for now. Who knows maybe we can see a deal between Barcelona and him.

Does signing Messi guarantee UCL title? And Why Xavi must sign Messi again even though he already has a lot of quality young players?
I think Xavi doesn't need to sign Messi, he must prioritize for young players. If he really wants to sign top strikers, he is better to sign young strikers like Osimhen.

I don't think it's wise for Xavi to think of signing Messi again to Barcelona, Messi left the Barcelona team leaving the team in financial crises kow that they have hope of winning the Laliga I think working with the available players in the team should be his consideration instead of offering Messi contract that will see him make the team go bankrupt the second time.

Right now I think what Barcelona need is to hold onto the players they have or may be get more younger players instead of thinking about bringing Messi back to the team, age is no longer on his side I think it will be a waste of finance if Xavi should bring him back to Barcelona.

It would look easy if there was no financial fair play and they had money there, but in this case they not only don't have enough money, the problem of financial fair play still haunts them to this day.
Their condition is not much different from before when it comes to finances, they may push with some players who are brought in but the problem is that they also can't continue to have problems with authority and cutting players' wages because this is not very ethical for such a big club.

Valencia and Sevilla before have nothing to do with the relegation zone and their presence their was a big mistake made by them. Fortunately they recovered and get a bit away. Sevilla position is better while Valencia aren't that secure with only 2 points difference between them and Getafe in the 18th position.
Valencia will have hard times vs opponents like Villarreal, Real Madrid and Real Betis mainly among the seven remaining opponents. Nothing is guaranteed there.
