La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

Of course, this is a positive point for Barcelona, considering that Real Betis is actually in good condition, but in this match Barcelona showed another good performance so it is very natural that they won a big win in this match. This is an effective purchase of several players by Barcelona and almost all of them have chemistry with each other.

Now Barcelona's front line is so superior. Ferran Torres is starting to be sharp again, Lewandowski can still be relied on to score goals, and Raphinha's contribution has increased this season. Two debutants Felix and Cancelo also showed their best qualities.

The change in line-up that Xavi played in the match against Real Betis was absolutely correct. Ferran, Lewandowski and Felix are a good front 3 instead of playing Gavi, Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal. Gavi remained Xavi's choice in that match, but he played as a midfielder which ultimately had an impact on Barcelona's attack scheme being more effective.

All the players played as expected, even Barcelona performed very well in that match. Barcelona who appeared dominant managed to score 5 goals for the home win, but of course their two loan players could really have a good impact on the game and both of them also scored goals.

[Sim_card]

Bellingham is the man to look out for in Madrid squad because he has been a potential star man in the shoes Benzema left empty to fill. The Madrid squad should not bother about losing, but a win with slight goal margin possibly of above 1.5, and perhaps a draw is expected, I must say it will be highly unlikely too.
A slip in today's game on the part of Madrid might see Barca come close to taking the lead in subsequent matches and it is clear how difficult Xavi would make it be for Ancelotti to try to recover the top spot once lost.

I was monitoring this match because Madrid conceded first I'm sure Madrid will equalize the score, it's just not certain whether in the first half or in the second half
But I hope there are no more goals in the first half so that the odds will increase in the second half if we place a bet now the odds are 1.55 not interesting enough
One more interesting thing is if Madrid concedes first then there will usually be a lot of corner kicks especially if playing at home 7-8 is usually easy.

Real Madrid wouldn't give up on Real Sciedad as they are trying their best to equalise the goal but it hasn't been easy for them, because Real Sociedad don't want to give them that chance. The game is still open and I believe that Real Madrid will play better in the second half, as Bellingham will always save the day as usual. I want to see the changes that Ancelotti will make in the second  half, as it might bring a turn around for them. It is an interesting match and isn't an easy one for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is playing like a shitty team from Secunda Liga and they are 0-1 so far only because of their goalkeeper otherwise they would have been down 0-3.If they don't change anything in the second half this game will end in a lost one for Real Madrid,their coach Ancelotti is changing a lot of things by making Rodrigo their main attacker play one time from the left,one time in the center and one time in the right yet without yielding any result so far.Most probably Ancelotti should be greatly regretting those words about Mbappe that Real Madrid does not need another attacker,things are looking completely different now,they need one like Mbappe as soon as possible.

Am sure Ancelotti is biting his fingers on the ignored deal for Mbappe. The match between Madrid and Sociadad was quite boring in first half, am hoping second half would be more entertaining rather than the way it seemed like Madrid were struggling to live up to their former glory.
One thing about every new season is how every team starts the struggle from match 1 till end. Season in, season out.
This match is sure going to put enough pressure on Ancelotti to come up with a better goal striker option along with Bellingham.

I think Xavi made the right decision in signing João Félix and I hope they sign him permanently in the next window because he's actually the kind of player they need I their team and a prefect replacement for the injury prone Dembele, I'm so impressed with João Félix performance yesterday and i think he's one player to look out for this season because he was so outstanding and has bring out the best I'm Lewandowski, I believe with him currently in the team we could see Lewandowski improving and getting more goals for Barcelona this season.

Barcelona thrashed Real Betis 5 nil at Camp Nou, shooting them to be first on the league table. It's going to really a competitive race for Real Madrid and Barcelona. I'm just glad that Xavi Hernandez signed Félix this season, and giving him an opportunity to explore and become a better version of himself. Joao Felix is in Camp Nou to proof to Diego Simeone that he's not a flop player after all, scoring and providing crucial chances on his debut for Barcelona. He open the scoring and his performance was superb, there's more gamble time for the Portugal international, we would hoped he returned to his peak under Xavi Hernandez.

Joao Felix is very suitable to play at Barcelona because he is a typical striker and Barcelona's game is very aggressive. On the other hand, RB Barcelona has made great progress so far, Barcelona now has many alternative attack models that are not monotonous. Can play 1-2 passes from the middle, can penetrate from the left wing or right wing. If in the past right wing players could only penetrate by running the right front wing role player, now there are right wing players who can also create various attacks from the right side.

Currently Barcelona can be said to be a strong team in the league with the quality of its existing players. When compared with a team like Real Madrid, Barcelona is still too strong up front while Real Madrid's front line is still not strong enough. Now the Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad match is underway, but Real Madrid lost 0-1 to Real Sociedad. This proves that Real Madrid is having a very difficult time scoring goals without a top striker, let's wait and see in the second half whether Real Madrid is able to make a comeback.

It seems to me that you are exaggerating, Real Madrid also had dangerous moments and if Rodrigo had fallen in the penalty area in a less dramatic manner, perhaps a penalty would have been awarded. In any case, Real scores a goal already in the first minute of the second half and I think 45 minutes will be enough for them to resolve the issue in their favor. You have to get used to the fact that they don’t always play at 100% and if things go badly they can speed up.

[BALIK]

Real Madrid have confirmed starting eleven for match against Real Sociedad few minutes later, seems not any drastically rotation with Joselu and Rodrygo will filled attacking line players.  For midfielder have little rotation with Toni Kroos playing in the first minutes with Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni. Jude bellingham position not change yet and Carlo Ancelotti put him as second striker and he has free position as holding or attacking midfielder. Not change yet with defender position except Militao still absent after getting injury and Kepa Arrizabalaga keep trusted as main goals keeper.

Real Sociedad is a very tough opponent. And the points are very important for Real Madrid in this match to maintain the top spot in the table. If Real Madrid cannot get full 3 points in this match then the team will lose the top spot in the table. Because Barcelona had an excellent 5-0 win against Real Betis in their last match.

Both teams have been attacking since the start of the match and the important thing is that Real Sociedad is now leading 1-0. Ander Barrentxea scored for Real Sociedad in just 5 minutes. Real Madrid continue to attack. The team is attacking a lot but is unable to score. We are yet to see better performances from Joselu and Rodrygo in attack. I would say the outcome of the Real Madrid match depends on Bellingham's performance.

Bellingham is clearly performing in this match. But it seems sociedad already took Madrid unaware on the first goal and the second goal that was disallowed.
Madrid is still trying to dominate the match but the damage has be done already by Real Sociedad.
This first half will end with this 1-0 .
Madrid might come stronger at the second half but sociedad is giving them a serious fight.

Real Sociedad was leading 1-0 in the first half. But Valverde scored in the first minute of the second half. And now the match is tied at 1-1. Bellingham, Valverde and Joselu's performances were good enough today. But we haven't seen a better performance from young Rodrygo. This match clearly shows that Madrid lack experienced strikers in their squad. Madrid's defense and midfield are very strong. But they are lagging behind due to lack of experienced finishers. Madrid had the opportunity to score several goals. However, Modrich is in Madrid's squad. After 70 minutes, maybe Ancelotti will bring Modrich on as a substitute.

I want to see the changes that Ancelotti will make in the second  half, as it might bring a turn around for them. It is an interesting match and isn't an easy one for Real Madrid.

Actually, Real Madrid's form was good from the first half, but they had difficulty scoring goals because of Sociedad's good defense and goalkeeper form. Alejandro Remiro made several important saves for his team, while Sociedad's performance was equally good. Sociedad really made Kepa have to work hard to save his goal, but fortunately he only conceded 1 goal in the first half.

Real Madrid, who returned after halftime, immediately changed the rhythm of the game and scored, yes, they managed to break through the goal to change the score to 1-1. I hope we can score 1 to 2 more goals in this second half to ensure victory.

Real Madrid has broken the deadlock in the match on the first minute of the second half with a powerful shot from Valvarde  to equalise the goal. One thing that I have observe in Real Madrid this season is that they always allow their opponent to score first before them, and they do all their welcome back in the second half, we saw this in their last match, and I also think this is how this match will also end. They are dominating the second half after recovering from the game. Real Sociedad are on pressure.
Goal ball Joselu has scored with a header on the 60th minutes to put Real Madrid on the lead, what a perfect timing and a perfect goal.

Realmadrid are still favourites to win the game they've already saved themselve from losing the game by equalizing and i think theirs still time to turn the game around and win Realmadrid are in full control of the match and  created more Chances than the visiting team, im suprised that the away team have held Madrid up to the point and are making it tough for them to create better chances and score more goals.

 They really need to win this match if they want to close in on the current leaders Barcelona if they drop some points or draw it means they'll remain below Barcelona at the second position, I've not finished typing when Realmadrid just score a comeback in the 61st minute of the game,what a fine assist from Garcia to their striker Joselu, they need to score more or maintain this score line to remain at the top currently.

Madrid had the opportunity to score several goals. However, Modrich is in Madrid's squad. After 70 minutes, maybe Ancelotti will bring Modrich on as a substitute.

Yes, the young players are giving it their all, but the perfect seasoned striker vibes were absent from the team, which is why they have struggled to score goals this season. Despite Jude Bellingham and other players' efforts to elevate the squad to the highest level, I believe this team is not sufficient to compete for the Champions League.

After Bellingham's equalizer, Joselu gave Real Madrid the lead, giving Madrid fans hope that they will win the match because they now dominate the game and have greater control over it. I am expecting more goals before the finish of the game because we still have over 25 minutes left.

At least they started luckily the second half and are winning the game so far.This should put Real Sociedad to come out and equalize and in these circumstances Real Madrid should be a killer to this game if they get them in a counter attack.It would be a huge mistake for Real Madrid to start thinking about defending the result to much.I am sure Ancelotti their coach has a lot of experience and he knows very well that points lost at home games can cost you a lot even the league title so most likely he will do anything in his power to get this win.

It was obvious. A goal in the 5th minute against Real Madrid is nothing more than an opportunity to bet on Real Madrid's victory with improved odds   I can’t say that as a fan I’m happy that Real are constantly creating difficulties for themselves in order to overcome them later, but as a bettor I’m happy  
By the way, a draw does not leave Real in second place, at the moment Barcelona has only one point more, so a draw would only equalize them.

Looking this game this second half, I see it that it will end 2-1 in favour of Madrid.
Because after this their second goal, they've tightened their midfield and defence bringing in Modric and camavinga to help in fulfilling that.
The midfield dominance by Madrid has greatly improved this second half.

[Ryu_Ar1]

In the end we see how players who were not really needed at the previous club can turn out to be very useful because indeed with Cancelo and Felix at Barcelona Xavi has several schemes that can be maximised well because there are several formation patterns that Xavi can try with these two players in the end.
On the other hand, with Felix in attack, they can also easily reorganise the midfield where Gavi and De Jong are again a good duo in midfield.

I think this season will again be interesting to see how Barcelona perform because surely they will maximise their players well now not only for La Liga but for the Champions League.

Felix is ​​a talented player, it's just that he was rumored to have differences with Diego Simeone when he was at Atletico Madrid. Likewise with Cancelo, this defender is one of the best. Unfortunately, Pep Guardiola doesn't really like his attitude. especially, when Pep Guaridola uses the option of three defenders. In the end, these two players from Portugal played for Barcelona even as loan players.
but in last night's match both of them proved their quality, especially Joao Felix. Barcelona's second goal scored by Lewandowski was Felix's cleverness in letting Chistensen's assist through. then, Lewandowski ran to greet him. with what they showed in last night's match, it seems that even though there is not yet a strong bond, the two players from Portugal are able to adapt very well.

IMO, Barcelona can be even better than the match against Real Betis. Gradually, Barcelona will play very solidly. Moreover, if Gundohan is able to perform with his best performance. I am quite sure, Barcelona has a great chance of retaining their title in La Liga. Now, Xavi's job is only to ensure that his team achieves a strong bond. plus, prepare an ideal strategy for the squad with competitive players. As a Barca supporter, I was a little happy to see what they showed.

The Felix and Simeone debate began when Felix was not too satisfied with Simeone's performance and way of training which seemed monotonous which actually made their relationship stretched and Joao Felix experienced several problems where he seemed not to be needed at Atletico.
Seeing several players who expect Joao to return to Atletico after previously being at Chelsea proves that the players at Atletico do not have any problems with Joao but it's just that the estrangement with Simeone that occurs makes him inevitably have to be willing not to get his position especially there are already several new players such as Griezmaan who returned and Depay who immediately clung to Atletico making his position even more lost.
Now, Barcelona is a new start for Joao and I'm pretty sure if Xavi can maximise Joao's abilities then it won't be difficult for Joao to regain his form.

Against Real Betis could be the start for them and Xavi can still set the tone for a better performance than this but the worst can still happen and the current hype for Barcelona can't be used as a benchmark because it's only 1 game so they don't need to be complacent with this.

Ancelotti can't expect much this season, especially regarding which players he really wants to bring in. His contract is due to expire at the end of the season and he is unlikely to extend his contract for another job. Of course, Ancelotti only relied on the good performance of his midfielders including Bellingham and several others, while Rodrygo and Joselu weren't really able to take on much responsibility when Madrid lacked strikers.

Rodrygo and Joselu can score goals, but Real Madrid should be aware that neither of them can always perform well. Madrid needs a center forward instead of constantly relying on Joselu, but Real Madrid's confidence is still fine as long as they can achieve positive results in every match even without a good center forward.

The first half of the game was a cracker for real Madrid being dismantled with lots of pressure from real sociedad . The goal by Barrenetxea put RSD on the lead in the first half despite Kepa's saving but the rebound went straight to the net. Ancelloti has always taken advantage of the second half of his games, and it's all evidence in the reawakening of real Madrid  with an early second half goal from valverde and a second goal from joselu  putting the game in favour of Madrid.

[Lorokan]

Real Madrid is playing like a shitty team from Secunda Liga and they are 0-1 so far only because of their goalkeeper otherwise they would have been down 0-3.

haha; its easier to blame real madrid! The truth is that Ancelotti is doing an incredible result, grinding out results every Matchday with injuries to their most important goal scorers; the most important thing in football is to score goals; with Benzema off to Saudi Arabia; other real Madrid goalscorers have been out injured; battling to win games in such circumstances is a massive plus for the side and i believe the fans should appreciate the doggedness of the footballers

Hardfought 2-1 victory; consecutive victory in the league and maximum points; i think Real Madrid are doing just okay.

The Spanish La Liga game between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad is almost over and Real Madrid are likely to win the match. It was Joselu's header in the 61st minute of the game that have Real Madrid the lead after Federico Valverde strike cancelled Ander Barrenetxea's early goal.
I wasn't expecting Real Madrid to struggle to win the game but Real Sociedad has given them a torrid night at he Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti's current formation has been working for the club but I think it'll be difficult for Madrid to win without recognized striker when they face stronger opponents in the UEFA Champions League competition.

Same here, I thought that this game would be easier for Real Madrid as Real Sociedad hasn't been doing that well so far, but quite the contrary happened. Real Sociedad was very active and resilient. The ball possession was about equal for both teams and in most of the other statistics Real Sociedad was close to Real Madrid. I think a player like Vinicius Junior is definitely missing as it reduces their attack speed in particular. But still they haven't dropped any points yet and so far efficiency is with them. Bellingham didn't score, maybe a fact to note!
