La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[zuzie]

I never expected to enjoy such a match between Getafe vs Barcelona team. Getafe team players played too many fouls in this match for which Getafe team players received 6 yellow cards.I can't imagine that Barcelona team will perform so badly in this match No. I thought Barcelona might win this match with 1 goal but Barcelona didn't score any goals in this match. In 42 minutes a player from Barcelona team received Red cards.

Barcelona got many chances that should have been converted into goals unfortunately that opportunity always fails I don't know if it was just bad luck or it just wasn't the right time what is clear is that they should have won by more than 2 goals, but ok this is the first match there are still many matches left Barcelona still has a chance to compete in the standings compete with Madrid especially Madrid is not as strong as last season.

[W Jr.]

Personally I think Barcelona deserves to be applauded for their performance tonight against Getafe because of the fact that they played most part of the game with 10 men though their opponents where also reduced to 10 men in the 52nd minute.
IIkay Gundogan was very impressive in his first competitive game for the Catalan club and has shown great signs that he'll make a good signing for them. Barcelona for fact had wanted a win but a draw isn't a bad result as well

The red card can't be used as an excuse to explain the draw of Barcelona. Getafe isn't a top team to suffer playing vs it. Barcelona played around 15 minutes with 1 player less until Mata got a red card too and back to equal number of players.
Barcelona weren't successful this time and Xavi has to take cautions to avoid such mistakes.

Getafe got a nice draw at home. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, was injured by this draw. Barça is a team that set out with the motto of championship in La Liga. They never want to be in the shadow of Real Madrid and Real Madrid has a lot of injured players. They should have made good use of these weeks when they had the potential to lose points.

To be honest, I didn't watch this game and seeing your opinion about this match, it's clear Getafe wants to make it difficult for Barcelona to steal 3 points from their home ground. The number of yellow cards must also be a reason for Barcelona players to do the same thing until in the end Raphina commits a serious foul which results in a red card for her. It seems that Xavi also got a red card maybe because he protested too much against the referee's decision. A goalless draw made each team secure 1 point and for Barcelona they would be left behind by their rivals if they could not overcome their goal-scoring stalemate.

The parking buss strategy was very effective in preventing barcelona from winning the game. I think another club shall try to repeat this strategy for upcoming week. Barcelona faces difficulty to break getafe's great wall. It's a very good performance from getafe to steal 1 point from the big club. Getafe knows what must be done by the club to make sure it will able to steal point from barcelona. Barcelona was even getting red card.

Getafe was able making all of players are feeling so stressed. GGWP for getafe. My expectation to hold barcelona is coming true. I don't expect getafe to win the match but getting draw was enough for that club.
I would like to see the barcelona to face more opponents that used parking bus strategy. Parking buss is key to prevent barcelona from winning the game.

Not all teams will target the same result, namely a draw against Barcelona because the teams that are struggling to be in the European zone will try to get full points, and I'm pretty sure Barcelona will grow even more so they can handle it well when facing teams with a strategy. as implemented by Getafe. But being able to get one point against Barcelona was quite profitable for Getafe because a club like Getafe is the target of strong clubs to be able to get full points.
I just watched the highlights of the match, and actually Barcelona had some really good chances but all of them failed to get past Getafe's goal, and it looked like the game was really intense.

In other matches, Real Madrid won 3 points and their new midfielder managed to score one goal and with this win opens up opportunities for tough competition in the standings later

This match is full of heat, Xavi is complaining too much, he forget if referee always favor in Barcelona because there were many controversial decision and it has been discussed by many football fans.

After all Xavi is using a weird strategy in this match, he know Barcelona is more stronger than Getafe, but he use defensive strategy where there are 4 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders. Gundongan is used to be an attacking midfielder or central midfielder, not defensive midfielder.

Getafe tried to provide solid resistance to Barcelona so as to make this match run tough. Getafe's mission, which wanted to prevent Barcelona from stealing three points at home, went as expected, even though Barcelona managed to dominate the match, Barcelona players had difficulty finding goals.
This match also took place with high tension, several yellow cards and red cards had come out of the referee's pocket. Barcelona must be satisfied with the acquisition of one point due to not being optimal in taking advantage of opportunities. This result is certainly not what Barcelona expected, but the result of the match cannot be changed after their players are unable to score goals.

Let's not make excuses as if in this case Getafe are the antagonists who are doing everything possible to get the points because with last night's game, both clubs were also very hard and even if you look at some of the refereeing decisions it's obviously a little bit questionable because there are some decisions that I think are controversial like the Kounde pull at the beginning of the first half which could have been if the referee had been closer it would have been a Penalty and the decision before Xavi protested and was red carded because there was an incident where it was allowed by the referee which was detrimental to Barcelona because it should have been a foul.

On the other hand, Barcelona were good offensively but Getafe's defensive strategy was no less good especially with some of the saves made by their goalkeeper and defenders that could actually be a benchmark for why this match ended in a draw.
The high tension in football is natural because of course for the first match they want a good result.

More competitive actions from these clubs, let's hope the best team always wins. Xavi Hernandez and the fans expectations were caught short, when they got issued a red card, their plans changed and they will try to improved in their next game. Getafe were pretty defensive, atleast they didn't lose their first league game, sharing points was the only option they could settle for. The game was boring to watched, both team tried their best but witnessing three red cards in a single game, ofcourse it was a tough one. The bluagrana drawing their first La Liga game against Getafe.

Yesterday I thought that Getafe and Barcelona might draw, because Barca's last two away games against Getafe also ended in a draw without goals... Yesterday was the third such game, although the match was really interesting.... Unfortunately Barca's win was the last event in my multi bet and I lost...

[bering]

Atletico Madrid as a host will playing against promotion team Granada and without doubt in this match Atletico Madrid is the favourite especially after ended their pre season tour with able to beat Manchester City i think Atletico Madrid is fully confident that they will be able to earn 3 points today and for Granada they will attempts to stole at least 1 points although it's hard because we know Atletici Madrid at their home is quite strong

The bookies was provide low odds for Atletico Madrid @1.33 and i am not surprised to see this because they are the favourite and if we see based on head to head statistics i can see Granada was able to make Atletico Madrid get in trouble several times because in the last 2 matches Granada was unbeatable from Atletico Madrid but indeed at home Atletico Madrid has good chances to collect 3 points from Granada

[Jody.Drummer]

Vini didn't play like he usually does, it seems like he needs more time to start this competition to find his best game. getting the chance to appear as a substitute, Joselu, he hasn't shown the ability as expected.
All in all, Real Madrid played well, and we are starting to see the rotation that will be their strategy now that Modric and Kroos are no longer in the squad. Yes, they are starting to give their younger players a chance to feature from the first minute.

Barcelona will obviously win, they already show how good they're in the friendly matches.

Yes it's fair to predict they will win their first game, now they look much better prepared and stronger with some new players joining this season.
At home, although they are the favorites in this match, they must be careful. Getafe could be more than they bargained for, and surprise Barcelona.
I'm betting on Barcelona by the way.

Yeah I noticed that as well right from the pre-season normally in matches against lesser teams vini jnr would always make good attempts to get goals but chances where coming from Rodrygo and Bellingham and this match has shown that Madrid needs a better striker other than Joselu to get more goals if not they'll have to keep relying on goals from the flanks and midfield area
 
 I like the fact that the coach is giving younger players chances to express themselves and develop into world class players not all matches that you'll rely on old experienced players atleast they'll rotate them tougher opponets like Athletico Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, well as for Barcelona they've been impressive in the pre-season and I think they'll dominant against Getafe since they've got a better squad than last season.

Yes it is what is needed at the moment, the arrival of Joselu also did not make many people happy, because it did not match expectations. I don't mean to underestimate Joselu's ability, but I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Rotating players to give young players a chance is a form of preparation that Real Madrid are doing, they are well aware that the senior names that are now in the squad will not be in the line-up for long, and they are smart because they prepare for it before the player leaves and I think it is a positive thing that they are doing.

In the last five games Granada have won four times, while Atletico Madrid have won only once, against Manchester City, but have drawn three times. Of course Granada is not a serious opponent for Atletico Madrid, especially since it will be a home game. But still I have my doubts that Atletico Madrid will win this game easily. This is the first game of the season.

Many people lost their prediction yesterday, because they predicted for the favour of Barcelona to defeat Getafe 2-0 but Getafe really prepared well to stop Barcelona players not to score a single goal which they made it happen by draw the match 0-0. Based on the yellow card the referee gave to both teams showed that Getafe played a rough play more than Barcelona, which was the reason Getafe embraced the opportunity to made the match draw at the end of the match, because there was early red card for Barcelona in the first half that made them to over used themselves. I believe, Barcelona manager has learned his lesson from this match to control his angers whenever there is a challenge among the teams because he was given red card yesterday the way he attack the referee in the field.

A difficult match, although Barcelona created many chances, they failed to score. Nothing has changed since last season, Barcelona never scored much before, and after Rafinha was sent off in the 42nd minute, they had to play in the minority for some time. But I liked the way Barcelona played, they were faster, Getafe just played strong, sometimes rough football, it is always difficult to create something against such an opponent.

The match between Getafe vs Barcelona was quite exciting because these two teams played quite impressively to get full points in this match. But the course of the match was confirmed by the busyness of the referee because of the many violations that occurred and at the end of the match the referee had to issue 3 red cards in this fight. I saw at the end of the match how frustrating it was for Lewandowski who failed to score in this match, especially since he had several very good golden opportunities in this match.

By getting 1 point in this match, of course, Barcelona first match ended not as expected, but it was lucky for them because they did not lose in this first match. I think the quality of Barcelona game is good enough, but Getafe tight defense made them fail to score in this match.

In the last five games Granada have won four times, while Atletico Madrid have won only once, against Manchester City, but have drawn three times. Of course Granada is not a serious opponent for Atletico Madrid, especially since it will be a home game. But still I have my doubts that Atletico Madrid will win this game easily. This is the first game of the season.

wait a minute, you say Granada last five matches with other teams is very unreasonable as an assessment that Granada has a strong performance like Atletico Madrid but try to judge from the last five matches when playing against Atletico whether Granada can still be said to be able to match Atletico performance while Granada only have beaten 1x and Atletico 3x. it does not make sense to me if you say Atletico Madrid won't be easy to win against Granada because even though its the first game but there no doubt that Atletico will be superior on one hand this match takes place at home to Atletico which gives a bigger chance to win.
my advice is that you better try to predict and analyze again whether what you are predicting is correct at this time because it is very risky if later you bet on a draw or bet on Granada.

Barcelona had a bad run against Getafe in away matches in the recent years. And this continued not to change as of their latest match as well. If Raphinha played in a more disciplined way maybe they could have won this match. He just got a yellow card in the 38th minute and only four minutes later he got a red card.    The conditions got equal a little time after the second half started though because Mata also got a red card. But still Barcelona couldn't break the deadlock.

Xavi's getting a red card made things even harder for Barcelona as he couldn't communicate with the players on the pitch. This is a poor start for Barcelona.

[MinoRaiola]

This match is full of heat, Xavi is complaining too much, he forget if referee always favor in Barcelona because there were many controversial decision and it has been discussed by many football fans.

After all Xavi is using a weird strategy in this match, he know Barcelona is more stronger than Getafe, but he use defensive strategy where there are 4 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders. Gundongan is used to be an attacking midfielder or central midfielder, not defensive midfielder.

With this strategy he made a wrong decision, thats why he was so angry and maybe get a red card. This happens extreme rarely... or maybe never. A coach gets a red card in the first game of the season, the betting odds would have been x500 I think. If Raphinha had not done that, then the game would have ended different, but that are only 2 points and the first game of the season, there is much more time to do it better.

unexpectedly the first match was hot from both teams. there are Lewandowsky and Gundogan in the team, but Barcelona still failed to get a goal. many chances were created but they still couldn't score the winning goal.
looks like Xavi has a lot of work to do to improve how his players have to work as a team. they put in a pretty good game actually in pre-season. but it's a shame they started the season not so well.

[Razmirraz]

Yes it is what is needed at the moment, the arrival of Joselu also did not make many people happy, because it did not match expectations. I don't mean to underestimate Joselu's ability, but I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Rotating players to give young players a chance is a form of preparation that Real Madrid are doing, they are well aware that the senior names that are now in the squad will not be in the line-up for long, and they are smart because they prepare for it before the player leaves and I think it is a positive thing that they are doing.

Real Madrid brought in Joselu only as a complement to their squad, he can be used as a solution to overcome the problems that occur in the striker position. Real Madrid will not rely on Joselu as a main player, this reason is reinforced by the way Real Madrid brought him.
After losing several important players in the striker position, Real Madrid struggled to find replacements in the vacant positions. Ancelotti can still include several young players from the club's academy to play in several other matches in the Super Cup or CDR, due to the limited stock of reliable players in the striker position, Ancelotti must be careful in making decisions.
