La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[klidex]

Sevilla have made a great climb in the standings after improving their form in the league. They would have even been a part of a race for joining a European tournament if there were more weeks to be played now. But still they are in a safe distance from the relegation zone at least. Their loss against Girona was unexpected to me though. I wonder if they have dropped their tempo after reaching safety in the standings.

Maybe they just want to focus on the Europa League at this moment. This makes me think like Espanyol could also get some points from them tonight. Espanyol are in the relegation zone you know but they still have a chance to get out. This could be an opportunity to do well.

Yes, Sevilla have played really well in the second half of the season. I think that now that they are in the middle of the standings, they have no motivation to try to win every game. Especially since they have the final stages left in the Europa League, where, after beating Manchester United, Sevilla can be called a contender for the top spot.

In La Liga, Sevilla's performance did not really look good, but admittedly it was very good after being able to enter the semifinals of the European league.
Even though Sevilla is currently having a bit of a poor performance in LaLiga, I'm sure Sevilla has a good plan in the European league which has been arranged by Sevilla coach Luis Mendilibar.
I believe that at least Sevilla can go to the final stage.

Barcelona missed so many easy chances in this match that it was actually painful to watch. But I have to give credit to the goalkeeper of Osasuna because if it was not for him Barcelona would have scored at least three goals in this match.

The performance of Osasuna's defense was indeed very good in this match and it can be seen that even when playing with 10 players it seems that Barcelona is still having trouble with that.
On the other hand, the poor finishing was also one of the obstacles here and this was evident when De Jong's one-on-one opportunity against Fernandez and several opportunities obtained from Dembele failed to convert into goals.

Currently Barcelona having 13 points lead from the second spotted Atlético Madrid with 5 matches left in this season mean title is there under control so just because of these things are going not aggressive from their side, and they are playing not good as they were few weeks back and their few players surely missing good chances which is also having good impact on match result Osasuna which is currently at 9th spot with having not fair chance for the UEFA doing good job and not allowing Barcelona attack to do things which create mess-up, and they have to suffer badly defence was in good shape and their marking was also good which not allowed Barcelona players for the more goals even they were playing with 10 men for the 70 minutes of this match.

Exactly, as for Napoli, Barcelona too can very well lead and win La Liga without drama
Real Madrid have decided to quit to concentrate on the cup, and rightly so.
I don't feel like blaming ANcellotti.
I think Real Madrid win UCL

[mamesso]

Real madrid has never serious with laliga,  even right now.  You can see they are keeping their key players on bench just for the Champions League  game. Real Madrid has put in more attention in the Champions league game and not winning the championship will be disappointing after all the effort they putting.  The Champions league seems challenging for Real Madrid this season that it is so  hard for them to maintain their performance in laliga. I'm expecting more from Real Madrid in Champions league game for the focus and consideration they put in Champions league.

Real Madrid is not serious in La Liga, since they are very far behind Barcelona and feel unable to catch up on the points that Barcelona have accumulated, Real Madrid has shifted its focus to the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League. After suffering a defeat to Real Sociedad, Real Madrid's chances of winning the La Liga trophy are certain to be closed because Barcelona only needs one more win to secure the La Liga trophy.
Real Madrid is trying to win the two remaining titles this season, in the Copa Del Rey they will face Osasuna in the final, while in the Champions League Real Madrid will have to fight hard to get rid of one of the other favorite teams.

Sevilla has lose from Girona last week and this is their first loses after passed 7 matches unbeatable in all competitions before and now they want to improve their position on standings league and basically Sevilla position is safe and they will not being to relegation this season but i am sure they want to finish at higher rank than the current position so they have to performing well in all remaining matches of the season to gets better positions on standings league

Sevilla current opponent is Espanyol and on the paper it shouldn't be a big deal for Sevilla to beat this team especially Espanyol had poor records from away matches that this season they have already lose 8 times and only got 3 wins from away matches and for team condition both teams probably will playing with their best starting line up because there was no serious problem from their squad and all of their main players will be available to played and Sevilla win has odds @1.81 or other option such as both teams to scores seems good with odds @1.98

After going through 7 matches in all competitions without defeat, in the end Sevilla fell to Girona. for me Sevilla's defeat was natural, because every team will experience goes ups and downs. and if we talk about standings, Sevilla is in a zone that is quite safe from relegation. in this match Sevilla will play its match as the home team, on paper Sevilla is superior to its opponent. apart from playing at home, Espanyol has a gap based on standings ranking. so it's very natural, if Sevilla is more favored by the bookie in this match. it's just that, next week Sevilla will play an away match at the Juventus headquarters. So, whether Jose Luis will play his main squad in this match, is an interesting consideration for those who will bet on this match.

On the contrary, this match became one of Espanyol's most important matches. at the very least, they need points to secure their ranking in the relegation zone. plus, they have another difficult match which will host Barcelona the following week. that means, Espanyol will appear all out to win this match. unfortunately, Martin Braithwaite is absent due to an accumulation of cards. however, do not rule out that Espanyol has the probability of winning this match. well, referring to the H2H history of these two teams. the fight is always colored by a fierce battle with high tension. So, do you think Espanyol will be able to break Sevilla's dominance, or will the game end in a draw. IMO, my estimate is that both teams will score goals in this match.

Yes, after all, Real Madrid is not about "never" being serious in La Liga, because in this season or at this moment Real Madrid's chance to win the La Liga title is no longer possible. So naturally, if Real Madrid reserves the main players or doesn't play the main players when Real Madrid has a match in La Liga, so it's not about never being serious.

But even so, at least Real Madrid has been confirmed this season to get the Copa del Rey trophy, because even though Real Madrid has put a high focus on the Champions League but in reality, Real Madrid still cannot be sure of winning the Champions League title this season. But yes, "if for example" Real Madrid can beat Manchester City and then qualify for the final, then that makes Real Madrid have a great chance to win the title in the Champions League as well.

There is no point in getting a lot of focus on La Liga after they have discovered that Barcelona are a much stronger team this season. But Real Madrid's form this season has been poor, whatever the reason, and that's why Real Madrid are so far behind Barcelona.

I'm not just talking about his recent defeat to Sociedad, but Real Madrid have failed to win 12 out of 33 games played this season. Real Madrid have lost 7 of the 33 matches so far, so I think that is their bad record in the last 4 seasons.

But even so, at least Real Madrid has been confirmed this season to get the Copa del Rey trophy,

There is no guarantee, how can you guarantee that?

But that is still quite far when compare to Sevilla's achievements last season. I don't know what is the main cause of Sevilla's decline in performance this season?
Apart from that Sevilla have a home match today against a team from the relegation zone, Espanyol. Can they recover from last week's defeat, until the 30th minute the match is still a 1-0  in favor of Sevilla

[RaltcoinsB]

Atlético with the current form may well hold the second place after Barcelona, and Real Madrid, taking into account participation in the Champions League, may still lose points. I don’t know how important this can be for Real Madrid, here only who the champion plays an important role, and who will finish the season in the top 4, everything else is secondary. Barca dominate in La Liga, but it would be much better if it could also manifest itself in the Champions League.

It would be also better if the gap in La Liga wasn't so big and we could maintain the excitement until the last matchday, but Real Madrid and Atlético are already out. About the second position, it won't be a problem for Real Madrid to concede it if they win Copa del Rey and, most important, the Champions League. But, if they end the season winning only the FIFA Club World Cup, it will be a bit disappointing.

The second-place match between the two Madrid teams will be full of excitement. Although I see Real Madrid as more advantageous, there is no difference between second place or third place. If we look at it in terms of prestige, of course it is better to be second, but when it comes to Real Madrid, no ranking is prestigious except the championship.

Tjeal Madrid is not serious in La Liga, since they are very far behind Barcelona and feel unable to catch up on the points that Barcelona have accumulated, Real Madrid has shifted its focus to the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League. After suffering a defeat to Real Sociedad, Real Madrid's chances of winning the La Liga trophy are certain to be closed because Barcelona only needs one more win to secure the La Liga trophy.
Real Madrid is trying to win the two remaining titles this season, in the Copa Del Rey they will face Osasuna in the final, while in the Champions League, Real Madrid will have to fight hard to get rid of one of the other favorite teams.

Every club desires to win as many trophies as possible. Just like Manchester City, every club will never be tired of pursuing more trophies. So I don't subscribe to the insinuation that Real Madrid was not serious to win La Liga because they gave their best but it turned out that Barcelona was better. For now, a bird at hand is worth millions in the bush, so the Los Blancos are channeling more effort to win the Champions League because it is close to their reach.

If I were Carlo Ancelotti, I will keep on reserving my best players for the Champions League. Players like Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior will be rested to avoid fatigue and injury. I still doubt the ability of Real to win against Manchester City because the latter's performance has greatly improved and it will take an extra effort from the Real team to defeat the Citizens. But let's wait till it is decided on the field of play.

[Doell]

Sevilla - Espanyol, this match really interesting. Sevilla actually led first with a score of 1 but Rekik made his team lose the lead. Also Espanyol team can scored, so now the score is 1-2. Although now currently Espanyol can the lead at half time, but this game are still long because there is still second half I mean. Also Sevilla is better rather than Espanyol, they dominated this game a bit so maybe they can scored again in the second half.

[KTChampions]

Why should Real Madrid be concerned about La Liga and the difference between second and third place, can you explain to me? For a club like Real Madrid, there are only two places: the first and all the others.
It turns out that in the next round, if the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona does not change, then Barcelona will officially become the champion. It's funny that even though it will be an away game, everything will happen in Barcelona, since this is a game with Espanyol.

actually real madrid's performance in their laliga is not too serious anymore after they failed in the race for the Laliga title, I agree with you that the place in the laliga that madrid is after is to be the leader of the standings and the champion at the end of the season and they don't care if they finish the season in 4th place  if they lose again next week.

Benzema being absent is indeed a strategy to maintain his fitness for an important match when they face Manchester city. Mister Ancelotti focus is for the ucl and copa del rey.

Unfortunately the barcelona party is going to be on the road next week, I think they are postponing doing that or something else is on their minds. We give applause for their coach Mister Xavi.

The party will not be at their home stadium, but in their hometown, so the problem is not big.
As for the whole season in La Liga, I would say that Real Madrid suffered mainly because of Mbappe (who promised a lot but ended up deceiving the club). Had Benzema had a partner of comparable stature, then no phenomenal winning streak from Barcelona would have made them with such an easy title. Barcelona took the title but completely failed in European cups (again) so I don't think it's Barcelona's achievement, it's Real Madrid's problem.

It would be also better if the gap in La Liga wasn't so big and we could maintain the excitement until the last matchday, but Real Madrid and Atlético are already out. About the second position, it won't be a problem for Real Madrid to concede it if they win Copa del Rey and, most important, the Champions League.

If we look at it in terms of prestige, of course it is better to be second, but when it comes to Real Madrid, no ranking is prestigious except the championship.

You are right when you say that there is little difference between the 2nd and the 3rd place, and even if Real Madrid ended third in La Liga they would have a good excuse: their performance got worse in the league because they had to focus on more relevant competitions.

But, although that excuse would be completely reasonable, the historic rivalry between the two Madrids is legendary, and that will add another layer of interest in who gets the league runner-up title.

[tygeade]

Real Madrid hasn't choose with Copa del Rey and Champion League matches schedule because left three days after facing Osasuna have important match against Manchester City in Champion League. Carlo Ancelotti have smart rotation with his players composition against Osasuna and seems can't push three days later with the same line up composition against  Manchester City. Both matches most important for Real Madrid after losing compete in La Liga tittle race and right now left opportunities with copa del rey and champion league.

Rotation is must adopted by Ancelotti if want their team keep in the top level performance from copa del rey and Champion League, I think Madrid still difficult finding new back up for Karim Benzema position after losing last game against Real Sociedad when Benzema absent.

The problem is that they are both important games, so if they end up putting younger players or bench players against Ossasuna, they would lose a cup, but they can't play every single great player neither, that would make them tired before the City game as well, so what could they do? I am not entirely sure to be fair but that looks like a big deal and I fear that it may not be as good as people imagined it should be.

I bet that they are going to end up with a little bit of trouble overtime, but that is going to end up being the least important part of it. I know that there is a good chance that we could end up with seeing them play the same roster in both of them which is the likely thing to do, but it will definitely cause them a fatigue issue against City without a doubt.

[rendravolt]

Sevilla - Espanyol, this match really interesting. Sevilla actually led first with a score of 1 but Rekik made his team lose the lead. Also Espanyol team can scored, so now the score is 1-2. Although now currently Espanyol can the lead at half time, but this game are still long because there is still second half I mean. Also Sevilla is better rather than Espanyol, they dominated this game a bit so maybe they can scored again in the second half.

I still hope Sevilla can make a comeback in this match because as hosts it is clear that this is a loss if they lose. However, this time Espanyol performed quite well and was able to make things difficult for Sevilla. The own goal from the Sevilla player gave Espanyol an unexpected advantage. I think that being behind by 1 goal is not a problem for Sevilla and I'm pretty sure at least they can equalize first to pump up the enthusiasm of their players. Sevilla must win this game if they want to shift the position of Mallorca which is currently above it.

[speeder]

Sevilla vs Espanyol first halftime game is already over.  Sevilla football team player Bryan Gil scored first in the 22 minute of the game to take a 1-0 lead. Later on the opposition team Espanyol scored a goal in the 29 minute of the game to bring the game to a close. And Espanyol is ahead with the second goal in the 43 minute of the game. In today's match, the defender of the Sevilla team showed a lot of irresponsibility. Sevilla had 62% possession in the first half. As a team, we can only hope that Sevilla will be able to score two more goals in the second half

[Asiska02]

But that is still quite far when compare to Sevilla's achievements last season. I don't know what is the main cause of Sevilla's decline in performance this season?

The drastic drop in Sevilla's performance this season continues to surprise many. Even more surprising is their outstanding performance in the Europa League considering how poorly they’re performing in La Liga this season. They now occupy the tenth spot in La Liga and have no chance of returning to the top four this year. To secure a spot in the Champions League for the upcoming season, hope now rests on the Europa League championship.

Apart from that Sevilla have a home match today against a team from the relegation zone, Espanyol. Can they recover from last week's defeat, until the 30th minute the match is still a 1-0  in favor of Sevilla

The match ended 3-2 in favour of Sevilla. I expected Espanyol to give them tough time but it wasn’t so as Sevilla dominated the game more and had more advantages than them. Their performance today speaks well for them on how far they’ve come in the Europa league title race.

[Raflesia]

Real Madrid hasn't choose with Copa del Rey and Champion League matches schedule because left three days after facing Osasuna have important match against Manchester City in Champion League. Carlo Ancelotti have smart rotation with his players composition against Osasuna and seems can't push three days later with the same line up composition against  Manchester City. Both matches most important for Real Madrid after losing compete in La Liga tittle race and right now left opportunities with copa del rey and champion league.

I know that there is a good chance that we could end up with seeing them play the same roster in both of them which is the likely thing to do, but it will definitely cause them a fatigue issue against City without a doubt.

It's obviously going to be a problem of course because if you try something new in the final then obviously it's also very difficult especially it's the last match in the Copa del Rey and their chances of bringing the cup are obviously very big.
I think they will try all out to secure the title with the goals created after that they can start with a new scheme so they can rest their players so they are not too tired considering the actual schedule conditions are quite close together.
It would be very risky to start from scratch with young players and reserves because it could end up being the same as they had against Sociedad.

Sevilla vs Espanyol first halftime game is already over.  Sevilla football team player Bryan Gil scored first in the 22 minute of the game to take a 1-0 lead. Later on the opposition team Espanyol scored a goal in the 29 minute of the game to bring the game to a close. And Espanyol is ahead with the second goal in the 43 minute of the game.

As a team, we can only hope that Sevilla will be able to score two more goals in the second half

The match ended in favor of Sevilla with a narrow score of 3-2 in this match.
I honestly still felt that it was going to be a draw but Sevilla forced themselves into the lead in the dying minutes.
Papi Gueye will clearly be hated by Espanyol this time because indeed a goal 2 minutes before the game ended made them have to be willing to lose points which made them sink even further into the relegation zone.

[Leviathan.007]

The next match for tomorrow.

~snip~

These are two pretty interesting matches and I thought I would place a bet on one of them. Maybe it's quite clear for Sevilla to win this game as they are still in their best form so far and with good enough squad depth it certainly won't be a problem for Sevilla to be able to beat Espanyol at home. I am more interested in betting for Sevilla to win in this match and for the Bilbao match against Betis, even though there are many injuries to Bilbao players, I am quite doubtful whether Betis can beat them or not, so I will pass the bet on this match.

Sevilla won the game against Espanyol with a 3-2 result and they had much more control over the game because they had 17 goal opportunities and Espanyol had only 7, also this game was very important for them because after Espanyol they have to face Juventus in Europa League which can be a harder and more important game.

[Marykeller]

For me, Barcelona already won the La Liga title.

Barcelona has unquestionably won the Laliga championship. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, who are in second and third place in the rankings, are behind them by 17 and 18 points, respectively. Barcelona needs just one more victory from their remaining games to clinch the Laliga championship.

Right now, they are not thinking about this whether they are going to end at the second or third spot because their main focus is how to handle Manchester City in the semifinal of the Champions League Carlos Ancelotti is doing his own tricks which are helpful for them in Champions League with they already have enough space for staying into top three which is not bad for them after having double in last season, and again they can win one cup and now doing their all strategy for the big game I am also shocked with their performance in last two defeats but look like they are having no issue with these defeats but if they are able to stop Manchester City then surely things could be entertaining for them and their fans but with the current form of Manchester City it's not looking easy right now.

Real Madrid and Osasuna will meet in the Copa Del Rey championship game on Saturday. The final result of the match will reveal how well-prepared Real Madrid is to take on Manchester City on Tuesday of next week. Whether they are capable of winning them or not.

Real Madrid is more focused on their Champions League encounter against Manchester City, but will their defense be able to prevent any of these Manchester City players from scoring goals (Halland, De Bruyne, Silva, and Grealish)? That is a significant question because of the way things currently stand, Manchester City appears to be an unstoppable force in the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League.

[Doell]

I still hope Sevilla can make a comeback in this match because as hosts it is clear that this is a loss if they lose. However, this time Espanyol performed quite well and was able to make things difficult for Sevilla. The own goal from the Sevilla player gave Espanyol an unexpected advantage. I think that being behind by 1 goal is not a problem for Sevilla and I'm pretty sure at least they can equalize first to pump up the enthusiasm of their players. Sevilla must win this game if they want to shift the position of Mallorca which is currently above it.

Same, I also hope so. And nice Sevilla can make a comeback in second half with a narrow score of 3-2, they got three points today after losing against Girona last week. With this win, Sevilla now have 44 points and shift Mallorca, because Mallorca also lost against Girona today. Interestingly, on Girona vs Mallorca match, Castellanos was able to score again, Girona also now have 47 points in the standings. It seems like Real Betis Balompié position is really under threat, they must win against Bilbao.
