La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[EL MOHA]

Unlike Barcelona that do have enough chances but they hardly score, Barcelona is struggling with Mallorca to equalise the goal but Mallorca has the boldness to stop them from scoring and they are not seeing Barcelona as that big team. A super strike by Jao Felix that hit the right side of the bar.

This is how small clubs set out there team against the top clubs. They only get the chance to hit them on counter rather having to play a possession football. If a small club plays the leaders then they should certainly be ready to utilize almost every chance that comes there way and Mallorca did just that, I would say the two goals seems more like a gift mostly especially the one from Ter Stegen. Many Barca fans will be disappointed with the goal keeper although he made mistake but it is high time we come to realization that building play from the back has its repercussions and that is what we saw today.

 

The final score is Mallorca 2-2 Barcelona. Barcelona failed to get 3 points today, they only got 1 point. If Girona wins against Villareal tomorrow, they will be in 1st place. Real Madrid also has a chance to shift Barcelona's position if they win against Las Palmas tomorrow. So, it is very unfortunate that Barcelona missed 3 points today, their position isn't safe now.

I see Madrid taking there chances against Las Palmas but the game between girona and villareal will be tricky one because even though Girona have been excellent this season I sense a good chance of Villarreal winning this match because they have drop points in their last two matches and this will be a good chance for them to get back to winning ways

[youdacapt]

even if many people choose to bet on Barcelona with great confidence even though Barcelona will be playing away from home, I choose to bet on double chance. I dont doubt Barcelona performance but I just always choose to take small risks with low odds to remain consistent with my goals because I always remember the surprising events that have occurred in every match so to anticipate I will take the safe route for this match.
 

It is expected that many would not be willing to bet on Barcelona confidently after conflicting performances by the team in the past 2 games; but facing Mallorca away from home, you can count on 2 goals to be scored and at worst a draw for Barcelona. so i agree with your bet and it is very realistic as well.

I want to add that Mallorca has scored the first goal tonight, 23 minutes into the tie against Barcelona.

Very excited about my predictions haha. It is common knowledge that Barcelona performances has been awful for couple of games and with their history in Mallorca away from home; i was expecting a very tight game, Xavi squad rotation even made it very easier. Over 2 goals were scored and Barcelona secured 1 point away from home.

Hopefully, Xavi learns from this and does better with team selections in difficult games

[Balmain]

An unexpected game and an unexpected result from Mallorca, to be honest, I wasn't expecting this result either. Mallarco's in-form attacker Vedat Muriqi took the stage with the goal he scored in the first minutes. Barcelona, which dominated the league with successive victories, ran into Mallarco this week. In the same week that Real Madrid lost points, Barcelona also lost points and the giants collapsed this week. The goal Mollorca scored in the second goal was also a very delicious goal. This goal set the first half on fire. Although Mollarca managed to score a goal in the second half, Barcelona could not score the goal that would bring the victory. The missed positions in the first half were looked for in the second half, and there was also the factor of bad ground.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Unexpected performance from Mallorca scoring two goals. The first goal have come on the 8^th minute of the match from Muriqi and this added pressure on Barcelona. After hard fight goal came for Barcelona at the 41^st minute from Raphinha. This boosted the performance of the team, but Mallorca didn't delay for the next goal. During the additional time goal came for Mallorca from Abdon and once again the score leads 2-1. In the second half with much effort Barcelona's Lopez made the team's second goal in the 75^th minute.

Finally they were able to level the match, which itself a big relaxation as Mallorca stands on the 15^th position on points table and Barcelona at the 1^st position.

It was a difficult game for Barca but it is better that both teams share points. This is not a good one for Barca because if Verona win their match tomorrow,  they will be  on top of the table again. Mallorca never wanted Barca to win them in their home, instead they prefer a draw. Barca tried all their best to make sure that they win the match but they were not prepared enough. I can still say that Barca underestimated Mallorca, while Mallorca took their time and prepared for this game so that they don't lose all three points. Barca needs to be consistent with their performance if they  really want to win this season Laliga title.

Very necessary point for Barca because it would have been worse. Mallorca came really prepared and met a Barca squad that was fielding some tired legs.
Lewandowsky needs at least a month rest if possible from playing football because he is older than most and needs to find his confidence to net the ball more.

It was such that at some point I had to take a second look to be sure it was Barcelona playing against Mallorca because why would Barcelona of all teams find it difficult such that they were two goals down from the first half of the game. I even had to think Barcelona was going to make a come back like the did recently in their last game but sadly they couldn't maybe because they weren't Planning at home.

Mallorca scoring two goals and making Barcelona struggle to equalize was such a huge surprise and I must say could be seen as an achievement for Mallorca because it could be possible with other smaller team and seen as normal but with Barcelona who has recently been top it wouldn't sound normal that's why it's worthy of been seen as an achievement the got today.

Barcelona was lucky to go home with a point but sadly failing to get the complete 3 points is definitely going to affect their position as if Madrid should win tomorrow they will cause Barcelona to drop down the table as they will be leading, for Mallorca it was a good one as they are now one point ahead they didn't have to loose everything. This will be a wake-up call for Barcelona to keep improving and not rest thinking they are too good.

It was indeed a suprise for people and most especially for folks who actually predicted Barcelona to have a straight win. Mallorca ready played well but their resistance was not enough plus the fact that Barcelona are currently big time goal scorer which is lewandoski. Barcelona are in really good form and they have been scoring lots of goals which is very unlikely of the same Barcelona team i knew because the goal ration has increased by Barcelona.

Why do you say Verona? It should be Girona. I see that Barcelona experienced difficulties in this match, especially in the player rotation carried out by Xavi in ​​this match. Xavi should not underestimate the opponents they face because with this draw they failed to widen the gap further with Real Madrid or Girona. Even Real Madrid and Girona could return to 1st place if they manage to win their matches this week. I'm sure Xavi regrets rotating in this match, he should have started Lewandowksi as he did in the previous match.

Barca tried all their best to make sure that they win the match but they were not prepared enough. I can still say that Barca underestimated Mallorca, while Mallorca took their time and prepared for this game so that they don't lose all three points. Barca needs to be consistent with their performance if they  really want to win this season Laliga title.

I think Barcelona was lucky not to lose this match because Mallorca's tight defense made it difficult for Lewandowksi et al to score goals in this match. However, so far Barcelona has not been defeated in a Laliga match and I hope they can maintain their best form in the next match by winning. Joao Felix had 3 good chances in this match but he still had difficulty scoring goals. But I admit that Torres didn't play well enough in this match, so I say that if Xavi uses Lewandowski as a starter, there is a big chance he will score a goal.

Yes, many of us don't expect this great performance from Mallorca because Barcelona have been winning their games since they drew their first match against Gatefe, and we know that Mallorca is not in good form because they only have one win out of five matches they played before this. In fact, I don't think Mallorca have been that strong an opponent over some seasons because it is Barcelona that always wins home and away. That is why, even today, I still believe that Barcelona will win the game by all means, but Mallorca surprised me by being able to draw Barcelona with their performance. Barcelona's next match will be against Sevilla. Let's see what happens, but I believe Barcelona will not underestimate Sevilla and lose guard again.

[rahmad2nd]

Barcelona draw will give hope for Real Madrid to explore more opportunities to win their opponents. Everything wil plan out for the good of Carlo Ancelotti and his players, always striving for the best results.The game between Mallorca vs Barcelona comes to 2-2 draw end. Xavi Hernandez would be in dip anger against his team, although they tried their best to level the game because the home team was very serious and keen on a win, nothing else. Mallorca having shared points with Barcelona is a dissapointing results for them, they would defend till the very end, blocking all solid areas to concede goals from their opponents.

I seem to have forgotten that there is a match scheduled between Mallorca vs Barcelona. referring to the statistics and line-up for this match, Xavi tried to rotate some of his players. At this point I don't know what Xavi is actually planning, but it's very likely that he wants to try to experiment with playing and rotating some of his players. at least, he wants to try the depth of his squad IMO. In this match, Xavi played Ferran Torres as a center forward and also played Inigo Martinez.
Well, so this is purely a tactic and strategy planned by Xavi. so, he shouldn't be angry with his decision. the reason is, we have seen Ferran Torres several times as a center forward. however, he rarely shows his skills.

What was unexpected was that Mallorca was able to take the lead in the 8th minute. In short, the match ended in a draw with a score of 2-2. With this draw, it provides an opportunity for Girona and Real Madrid to overtake the ranking currently occupied by Barcelona. Girona will play an away match against Villarreal, while Madrid will host Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabeu. one of these teams wins, will shift the top of the La Liga standings. thus, the competition for the La Liga trophy will be even more exciting in the future.

Not a very good result for Barcelona they could only get one point, including me is not good result for me because I bet on them winning. It's a bad, they couldn't take advantage of the momentum of Real Madrid defeat to stay away in the standings. But even so, that's a football and the unexpected result sometimes happens at there. Interesting, now Real Madrid have another chance return to the top position on matchday 7.

[Jossque]

Sevilla had a good win against an easy opponent and gave their fans a pleasant game after a long time in the league.Sevilla scored 5 goals and hopefully will regain their old form with this win.Sevilla managed to break the match with 3 goals in the first half and started the second half quickly and managed to increase the difference to 4 at the beginning of the second half.This win was important for them because they needed a morale as they would face Barcelona away in 3 days.It looks like a good match awaits us in Barcelona away.
Barcelona, on the other hand, drew away to Mallorca and left 2 points in this away game.Mallorca was the side that started the match well and in the 8th minute Vedat Muriqi managed to put his team ahead.Before the end of the first half we saw 2 more goals in the match.First Barcelona scored and equalized the situation, but soon Mallorca scored the goal that closed the first half ahead. Towards the end of the match, Marin scored the equalizer.This is an important point loss for Mallorca and a sad point loss for Barcelona.With this draw, Girona and Real Madrid will have the opportunity to overtake Barcelona.

It's not that bad for barcelone consider the club was still getting 1 point from the match against mallorca. I think that it doesn't mean a lot for real madrid caused even though if madrid was winning the game and then it will still only have 1 point as gap to the barcelona.
Football is hard to predict and that's why sometimes picking btts was always become the best choice instead of a club that has dominated the league. It's caused by im sure any team in the league is willing to score no matter what kind of opponent they faced.
Barcelona has been dominating the ball possession as always but it was only a few goal attempts like mallorca. I must mallorca has better accuracy when it comes to attack compared with barcelona at this moment.
Mallorca has been performing good enough in this match. I must give them applause for the consistency of defending from barcelona which was dominating the ball.,

[JoyMarsha]

Finally they were able to level the match, which itself a big relaxation as Mallorca stands on the 15^th position on points table and Barcelona at the 1^st position.

Barcelona won't still be in the first spot in the LaLiga standings by tomorrow. Either Girona takes the lead in LaLiga or Real Madrid is at the top of the standings.

In the seventh week of LaLiga matches, Barcelona has played seven matches, earning 17 points; Girona has played six matches, earning 16 points; and Real Madrid has played six matches, earning 15 points.
Tomorrow is the day for Girona and Real Madrid to play their seventh-week match against their opponent, and if either team wins, they will overtake Barcelona ASAP.

Kounde needs a rest, Araujo is just returning from injury and they are lacking depth in the Center of the defense with Kounde and Christenssen playing many minutes, week matches like this means they should be giving a rest as the next weeks will have games coming in thick and fast.

Lewandoski also needs a rest, while Ferran needs more playing time. He has been impressive the minutes he has been on the pitch but those minutes have become very scarce of late since the loan deal of Joao Felix.

- Jay -

These two players have had enough time to rest because the next match will be held on the 30th of the month, so there are still a few days for them to rest, and of course the opponent they are facing is a team that shouldn't be too difficult to beat. Barcelona must maintain its position at the top of the standings.

Even Barcelona got 1 point, I think it was a bad result. Barcelona has better players and they need 3 points to maintain their position (leading La Liga standings). Since they failed to get 3 points, Barcelona is probably no longer leading the La Liga standings tomorrow. However, the competition is still far from the end, so it is not a big problem to fail maintaining 1st place now.

Anyway, don't underestimate 1 point, sometimes it can determine which team to win the competition.

It was like the usual match, Barcelona was just too focused on the ball possessions. They even won 70% the ball possessions. But they failed to create many shot attempts. During the match, they only made 10 shots (4 shots on target). It is a bit shame for a big team like Barcelona. Well, for Mallorca, they have done a great job by stealing 1 point against Barcelona.

What a terrible result by Barcelona to a team like Mallorca.
You are right about them probably not leading in the standings tomorrow with Real Madrid playing an even lower on the table team in Las Palmas.
Even if they lost to Atletico Madrid in their last outing, I can't see how they lose in this match since they know with a win can bring them first on the table, as the graphic by the poster above shows.
With those full points will leap frog Barcelona with 18 points ahead of them.

So far, even though the difference in points between Barcelona and Girona is quite small, it can only make Barcelona go down temporarily even if Girona can get points over Villareal. Meanwhile, Barcelona only needs to expand the range of their game with a supply of ideal players and enough strikers to rotate, so for Xavi it will not be as difficult as Girona to rotate players.

Girona and real madrid can still surpass barcelona. I think that this kind of situation will still happen till the end of season. I remember that if girona was also a part of manchester city. I think that girona will become one of strong contender to compete at the top position of la liga this season. City football group was investing more on this club. It feels like seeing manchester city on la liga.

Very funny, how can you equate Girona quality and performance with Manchester City? LOL! Moreover, you seem to be so confident that Girona will remain in the top four until the end of the season, it's a real joke.

But regarding Barcelona result in last night match against Mallorca, surely a draw won't get Barcelona relegated. I just wonder, why when Barcelona don't win and then there's a lot of speculation that Barcelona have become very weak. After all, the reality is that there are still many other opportunities ahead and one thing we must realize is that La Liga is about Real Madrid and Barcelona. So, if at this moment Real Madrid and Barcelona experience a loss or a draw but still, in the end Real Madrid and Barcelona are two teams that will certainly be able to finish in first and second place and or in the top four of course.
