La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[QueenVera]

I think this result might change something about Atletico Madrid's future in this season. I mean this isn't a thing they regularly do. They beat Real Madrid despite most of their past games. They did it against a strong Real Madrid at the same time. I don't know what Simeone did but maybe Atletico Madrid can be more successful in the La Liga this season.

Real Madrid's match against Atletico Madrid surprised me because I knew that team couldn't win that way. Real Madrid is always better and stronger than Atletico Madrid, and even though I knew the outcome could change, Atletico Madrid's victory over real Madrid still came as a surprise. Real Madrid's players made some serious mistakes in the first half of the game. Let me even go so far as to argue that the goals were conceded by real Madrid's defence because they lacked the ability to counterattack as Atletico Madrid headed the ball towards the goal, allowing the players to balance and score.

Morata was a real Madrid player before, and I think that real Madrid players should be aware of what he is capable of. Once again, Ancelotti is to blame because the formation he used in that game was very sloppy and not good at all. How could he have five midfielders in the game while using three defensive players? I believe that Ancelotti needs to change the type of formation he employs, and he should start Brahim Diaz because as vini Jr is absent now Diaz will help the team too because he have the ability to move with ball.

It was a very unfortunate day for Realmadrid and them losing the Madrid Derby took everyone by suprise and I think the entire team would be very sad about this defeat, because it's made them drop points and given their rivals chance to top the league, Madrid were so careless with their defense and Alaba wasn't in a really good shape and let his team down in the match with his poor decision making.

 But what suprised me is that even after the poor performance from the defense Ancelotti still took the whole blame upon himself I think maybe it's because of the wrong decision he had in choice of formation or he was trying to protect his players from being called out by the media, either ways he should try not to repeat same mistake he mad3e, in their next match and should also understand that Brahim Díaz is one of his key players and has a vital role to play in Madrid this season, such kind of players shouldn't be benche.

[Polkeins]

Their poor performance started since some of their players got injured. They have been struggling to win matches against teams that they are supposed to trash, but due to their lack of a complete squad, they win most of their games at almost the end of the match, which is not supposed to be for a team like Real Madrid. We are looking forward to winning the La Liga title this season against Barcelona.

Compared to Barcelona and Girona, who have yet to lose any matches but have drawn one match each, they score more goals than Real Madrid, and just a draw yesterday dropped Real Madrid to a third position in the La Liga table. It will be very difficult for them to go back to that top now if they continue playing like this.

I'm sure Madrid won't go down too far. Madrid is Barcelona's rival for the La Liga trophy. Last season Madrid was too relaxed and their focus was on the Champions League. Until they didn't realize that Barcelona was already quite far ahead.
but this season Madrid will not make the same mistake. They may have lost to Atletico but that won't continue to be a downturn for Mdrid's squad. In the next match, they will get winning points.

Last season Real focused on the Champions League because their chances of winning the trophy were higher in UCL. Ancelotti realized that the bench is short, there are practically no substitutes for Modric and Kroos, after Benzema's departure the concept of attack for Madrid ceased to exist. Because one 30 year old rented striker and one 20 year old youngster can't close the gap after Benzema's departure and if Vinicius gets injured it gets even worse.

Real are still lucky that they guessed with the transfer of Bellingham and in fact they squeezed the maximum out of those financial opportunities that they had, but to be honest with their squad now to fight not only in the Champions League, but La Liga will be extremely difficult.

[Furious 7]

Yes, I think this is the first defeat for Madrid at the start of this season, so far they are playing on a winning streak and of course losing this Derby match is certainly not a failure for Madrid, because there is still a lot of time to catch up to win the Laliga title this season. This and even this defeat only made a difference of one point with Barcelona and Girona.

But if we look further, this one loss could have a bigger impact than we think.
The condition of Madrid, which always applies the same strategy, has actually been illustrated by their opponents that they want to anticipate what they want, as well as when they lose this match because other opposing clubs must see the gap where when the movement of Rodrygo and Modric is limited because playing Jude on the wing will be easy. On the other hand, in this match I also didn't like the change of Jude's position which was kept up front instead of being a second striker as usual even though there were Joselu or Brahim who could be used as options but Ancelotti preferred Jude to be left forward and Modric became a second striker.

They did it against a strong Real Madrid at the same time. I don't know what Simeone did but maybe Atletico Madrid can be more successful in the La Liga this season.

I really appreciated this big victory by them despite losing to Valencia by a big score and getting a draw against Lazio by a last minute goal. They really need this kind of results in big games in the La Liga if they want to be competitive for the league title.

Atletico Madrid can always make a surprise, but unfortunately they are not always consistent in winning and getting lots of points. The victory they got against Real Madrid I think may won't be change anything for their future in this season because I think Atletico Madrid performance will still not be very consistent. But I hope you are right, because they should be able to become the strongest competitors in La Liga.

Even with a game in hand, Atlético is still behind both Real and Barcelona. I don’t think they will get involved in the race for the title, but still this victory over their eternal rival is extremely nice (for them lol not for me).
As for Real, it’s just starting to infuriate me that first Real concedes a goal and then tries to correct the situation. Yesterday the opponent was strong and it was not possible to do this. I hope things will get better when Vinnie returns, at the moment I'm not happy.

Best in Madrid. Here's Simeone's dropback masterclass
Atletico Madrid fans have the right to enjoy and celebrate
Regardless of the result, it's been a long time since I enjoyed a derby

Atletico were going well but are now going downhill.
Needs to get it straight, Simeone needs to be more offensive. Bus days are over
Memphis is coming, let's cook them properly
Love for Atletico...

[uswa56]

Real Madrid must spend some time to calm down from the defeat and try to come back after this shock defeat. They are still have one point less than Barcelona so it is not a too bad standing for them and with a long season, their race with Barcelona is still opening.

Yes, I think this is the first defeat for Madrid at the start of this season, so far they are playing on a winning streak and of course losing this Derby match is certainly not a failure for Madrid, because there is still a lot of time to catch up to win the Laliga title this season. This and even this defeat only made a difference of one point with Barcelona and Girona.

Atletico Madrid seems to know better how to beat Madrid at home, of course they have a lot of experience from each previous meeting, Madrid must recognize Atletico's greatness at home so this defeat must be an important lesson for Madrid so they can play better in the next match against Las Palmas , at least maintaining a safe position in the top 4 of the standings.

This is not about the fight for the La Liga title, of course this defeat will not have an impact because this is only Real Madrid's first defeat and this season's journey is still quite long, but this defeat proves that the quality of the Real Madrid team this season is not that good and there are many shortcomings. is still in this team, which means they will have little chance of winning the title if they don't improve and recover from this situation.

The Mandrid derby always presents a fierce match and indeed this season the Atletico Madrid team has been much better so they were able to get a convincing victory over their city rivals.
And Real Madrid just got their first loss because they had equal opponents since the start of last season. Real Madrid doesn't have a strong team so they can win. I am very pessimistic about Real Madrid's strength this season, in my opinion they are no better than last season.

I'm sure Madrid won't go down too far. Madrid is Barcelona's rival for the La Liga trophy. Last season Madrid was too relaxed and their focus was on the Champions League. Until they didn't realize that Barcelona was already quite far ahead.
but this season Madrid will not make the same mistake. They may have lost to Atletico but that won't continue to be a downturn for Mdrid's squad. In the next match, they will get winning points.

Losing and winning in a match is a common thing and can even happen to the strongest team. Madrid's defeat in last night's match was inevitable because Atletico played quite well in anticipating every attack that Real Madrid launched to penetrate Altetico's defense. However, there are several things that make me assume that what Don Carlo did in his strategy in last night's match was a mistake.

From my layman's perspective, Ancelotti didn't play the players who usually were his staring eleven in previous matches. In last night's match Ancelotti tried to play a duo of Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham, and Luca Modric as an attacking midfielder. In the second half, Ancelotti changed his strategy again. Modric was withdrawn and replaced by Joselu, and Bellingham returned to the midfield position. Unfortunately, the mentality of the Madrid players is starting to get carried away.

Uniquely, in this match the three goals scored by ATM were all from headers. and yes, this match was Real Madrid's first defeat in La Liga. However, that doesn't mean Madrid won't return to its best performance. After all, Vini Jr is scheduled to recover from his injury. There is still plenty of time for both teams to compete for trophies this season, after all, there are still many matches that must be played by each competing team. Every week, changes can occur on the standings board. So, let's just enjoy everything that La Liga offers.

But what suprised me is that even after the poor performance from the defense Ancelotti still took the whole blame upon himself I think maybe it's because of the wrong decision he had in choice of formation or he was trying to protect his players from being called out by the media, either ways he should try not to repeat same mistake he mad3e, in their next match and should also understand that Brahim Díaz is one of his key players and has a vital role to play in Madrid this season, such kind of players shouldn't be benche.

I didn't expect Atletico Madrid to win in the Madrid derby against Real Madrid. I predicted this match would end in a draw but Real Madrid was forced to accept the reality of defeat. I also highlight Real Madrid's defense and goalkeeper. Kepa Arrizabalaga and Alaba performed under poor performance. Morata's first goal, Alaba was not ready to guard Morata when he received Dias Lino's cross in a slightly forward position without guarding Morata. Atletico's second goal was scored by Griezmann, Kepa who was not ready. Here I don't want to blame these two players because the entire team in the line up is responsible for this defeat.

Ancelotti step of blaming himself in preparing the formation for the starting XI was the right step, this is part of his responsibility as a coach to protect the players mentality. Vinicius absence was felt when they met Atletico Madrid in the derby, Real Madrid front line became helpless and lost their creativity. Barcelona is now temporarily leading the standings, one point different from Madrid in third place. Girona is impressive by sitting in second place, they are unbeaten in six matches and have the same points as Barcelona.

However, I am optimistic for Real Madrid this season, when the players in the squad are available again, Ancelotti can maximize his potential to compete with big clubs in the next match. On the other hand, Diego Simeone does have a good record when meeting Ancelotti, his squad managed to hand Madrid their first defeat in this season campaign. Madrid can handle the follow-up match against Las Palmas easily, Vinicius looks like he can play in that match.

[Ayers]

In the game between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid lost the game with a bad result and while the fans were expecting to see their team use superstar players to beat Atletico Madrid but this time Diego Simeone and his players the game.
During the game, César Azpilicueta the experienced palyer of Atletico Madrid had a conversation with Jude Bellingham. Azpilicueta asked Bellingham to respect the fair play but this young star said he should not talk about fair play in this game.
Real Madrid was obviously under pressure in this game.

I really did not expect Real Madrid to lose this match. But at the same time I understand why Real Madrid has lost. Just look at the number of chances that Real Madrid created in this match. It was a lot better compared to their opponent Atletico Madrid. But Real Madrid was still unable to win the match or score enough goals.

Obviously questions are being asked. The question is which striker is Real Madrid going to bring in. I think Real Madrid is not going to wait till the end of the season to bring in a striker. That's because they do need a striker ASAP. Real Madrid should not have lost the match against Atletico Madrid, but they ended up losing. I'm just thinking what will happen in the Champions League?

Yes, if you look at the match records this season, it is very clear that Atletico Madrid will find it difficult to beat Real Madrid because Carlo Ancelotti's troops are able to appear very strong in every match. But the results of yesterday's match were really surprising and Atletico Madrid were really able to play phenomenally so they succeeded in beating Real Madrid in this prestigious Derby match.

I don't think anyone is to blame in that match, Real Madrid performed quite well, it's just that Atletico Madrid, who played at home, was really able to perform quite well and very few predicted that Diego Simeone's troops would win that match.

but this season Madrid will not make the same mistake. They may have lost to Atletico but that won't continue to be a downturn for Mdrid's squad. In the next match, they will get winning points.

Of course, Real Madrid won't sink too deep just because they lost to Atletico Madrid, but we all know that they do have problems in attack. Real Madrid's attackers were unable to do much when they were defeated by Atletico Madrid 3-1, even Bellingham, who is often considered a hero, was unable to do anything because Atletico Madrid was a stronger team than the 5 other La Liga teams they managed to beat.

I can really imagine that other teams will learn a lot from how Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid. This means that Real Madrid will probably lose more points in the next match if they don't really have a solution to improve their best form. Player injuries are certainly the most fundamental problem for Real Madrid, but we all know that they also lack strikers.

[tusandii]

Real Madrid should have been the team that controlled the match, but the result disappointed the fans. In this match, coach Diego Simeone and his team won thanks to their sharp "header" weapon. I don't think they're that good at aerial combat. Toni Kroos's honorable goal was all Real could do.
The most significant difference is that star Jude Bellingham is absent, with no assists or shots. His only highlight was a yellow card at the end of the match after a harsh tackle. The attack faced many difficulties without Vinicius due to injury. The whole team needs him to recover quickly.

In the end, Real Madrid lost in several previous matches. We discussed that Real Madrid victory was always narrow, making us doubt whether Madrid was able to compete strongly with clubs that had equal performance and Atletico is a club that has equal performance to Real madrid and for me that very natural because Real Madrid played away from home which ended in defeat.
In fact, we all know that the final result of match is that Madrid will lose because in terms of the depth of readiness the Madrid players, Madrid players were a little poor in that match, even Bellingham, who was always said to be the final scorer, couldn't score at all in that match.

I'm sure Madrid won't go down too far. Madrid is Barcelona's rival for the La Liga trophy. Last season Madrid was too relaxed and their focus was on the Champions League. Until they didn't realize that Barcelona was already quite far ahead.

This will be a special note for Ancelotti and when they face a much more evenly matched club it will make it difficult for them to get points. The reason for focusing on the Champions League like last season is Ancelotti's inability to handle Real Madrid and it is completely irrelevant if that reason is given. This defeat will not make Real Madrid worse, but Ancelotti needs to be careful when facing a club that is much more balanced.

but this season Madrid will not make the same mistake. They may have lost to Atletico but that won't continue to be a downturn for Mdrid's squad. In the next match, they will get winning points.

In this match we will probably see the performance of the front line players who have no chance of scoring goals and in my opinion Real Madrid needs a center forward in such conditions. If Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham are unable to score goals then that is where a center striker is needed as a differentiator on the field. The aim is to make a difference in the match and opponents will pay special attention to the center forward making it easier for other players to create goal scoring opportunities.

The match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid was one of the best derbies I have seen in recent years. Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone analyzed all the holes in the Real Madrid defense very well and passed this analysis to his players. That's why I consider Atletico Madrid's victory a deserved one. Real Madrid will continue to feel the absence of Benzema. Florentino Perez should have tried to spend some money and sign Mbappe. They need to sign a striker in the winter transfer window.

Including I also really hope for Real Madrid victory in this match even though it is a home match for Atletico Madrid but so far Real Madrid has never had problems that make it difficult to win even though the opponent is superior in a home match.
Several Real Madrid players who can usually be relied on in this match were unable to show their abilities well and they seemed unable to find openings to launch attacks properly.
In previous matches Bellingham was always a pretty good player and could provide goals for Real Madrid victory but today he couldn't do much against Atletico Madrid.

I thought these two players would heated debate but it turns out they didn't and it looks like their expressions are very serious when discussing fair play.
If only the two of them are scheduled to meet again I sure Real Madrid will avenge their 3-1 defeat in today match.

They are a club with a big mentality, so one defeat will not bring them down. It's not just once or twice that they have experienced something like this, even in the Chmpions League we all know that they are a club that can turn things around when the match time is not far away. However, their problem is now on the front lines. Most of the goals they scored came from mdfielders, and even most of the goals came from Jude , here it should be clear that they have serious problems after being left behind by their sharp striker this season. Ancelloti has to rack his brains, lest their weaknesses become an opening for their opponents in every match.

[Fiatless]

I think just one defeat received by Real Madrid does not deserve to judge their performance too much. I agree about the player shopping that Ancelotti needs to do because that is the team's need to face the tight schedule of matches they play in several competitions at once.
Utilizing the squad available now is not the solution to targeting a trophy at the end of the season. With Real Madrid's 3-1 defeat last night, I think Ancelotti has realized what he has to do with the club management.

Atletico Madrid might be going through some problems but they are one of the best teams in La Liga. They have all of the best players that can take advantage of any lapses. The cause of this defeat is purely defensive. The central defenders couldn't handle the aerial balls coming from the flanks. García and Vázquez were under pressure during counterattacks but Rudiger and Alaba left some of Atletico's strikers unmarked. It is normal for big clubs like Madrid to lose games but their ability to put the loss behind them and keep winning future games is what will determine how they will end the season.  

Los Blancos' loss of important players is seriously affecting the team, causing them to struggle in league games. However, they may be motivated to improve, having effective objectives to hit this season. Jude Bellingham contributed 0 shots on goal and only had one shot that was wide out. Diego Simeone's players didn't allow them a chance to breathe, kept pressing, and used their goal opportunities, Sául Nguez is MOTM, having delivered two fantastic assists to the frontlines and having complete control of the midfield. In the Madrid derby, Real Madrid was defeated by Atletico Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti's performance has dipped.

Vinicius Jr has recovered from his hamstring strain but he was sidelined from the game against Atletico due to sickness. Bellingham failed to deliver Real Madrid this time and the club will be hoping that Vinicius and other players will be fit for Los Blanco's subsequent games.

I agree with your opinion that in this match the performance of the front line players is the key. Real Madrid really needs variety in its attacks, especially if players like Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham have difficulty scoring goals. Adding a center forward could be a smart strategy.
So, adding a center forward can be a good strategy in situations where the front line is having difficulty scoring goals, and this can be the difference in the match.
However, the question is who is the right striker to buy in the middle of this season?

Now what is the connection between the loopholes of Real Madrid and that of Benzema absence, what you saying do not pass a clear meaning. Nevertheless, The winners of the derby game did more than Real Madrid. They attacked and also defended, least thing you will want to see is Atletico Madrid winning all the controls in midfied.
Modric was too soft for the game and Jude Bellingham lacked experience as this show this is the first time he has featured in such hard derby. All goals came in as headers, that should tell that Real Madrid defense had errors and lacked communication.
Joselu is not up to the standards of Real Madrid what he does best is heading he will not have his contract extended by Madrid superiors.
