La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

I also think so, it is inappropriate to blame Ramos for the incident. Ramos was just unlucky. But even though he is old, Ramos is still quite direct in guarding the defense line. His return to the club during his junior years has also had a positive effect on Sevilla's development. Los Nervionenses started off at the start of the season and now their progress is starting to get better. So what happened last night is normal in football because it was just a disaster and was not planned.

Watching Barcelona grab a other points and climb closer to Real Madrid on the table. Was it really extremely challenging for Barcelona to secure three points against Sevilla? Yes, considering Sevilla employed a defensive strategy against the blaugrana, making it really hard for them to score. It appeared to be an uncontested game for Xavi's side, but their relentless pressure on Sevilla broke the deadlock when Ramos had a deflection that led directly to the net, creating the difference on the scoresheet. Sergio Ramos impressed at Camp Nou against Barcelona.

It wasn't  easy for Barcelona to grab 3 points from Sevilla,  the performance of Sevilla was very tense  and it was as if Barcelona would not have been able to win the game, but so interesting to see Barcelona overcome the tough game of Sevilla.  If Sevilla continues of playing in this manner in laliga this season they will really achieve a better position but Sevilla performance can't be predicted,  it is still possible their next game won't be as tough like the one they played against Barcelona.  Barcelona were very lucky in the game they played against Sevilla they were able to achieve full point despite Sevilla toughness.

I was a bit surprised to see the head to head statistics between Girona vs Real Madrid because from the last 3 meetings Real Madrid was unable to win from Girona and on April last season too Real Madrid have already lose with big scores 4-2 so this proven although Girona status as mediocre team in Laliga but they have been several times to make Real Madrid get in trouble so Girona cannot be underestimate in this match moreover Girona status is still unbeatable so clearly they are much better if we compared to their performance for last season

- Girona is one of Real Madrid's rivals, but Real Madrid has some advantages in this match, including the absence of two key Girona players, Toni Villa and Borja Garcia.
- In addition, Real Madrid welcomes back Vinicius Jr., so I believe they will have a good result against Girona.

I also think so, it is inappropriate to blame Ramos for the incident. Ramos was just unlucky. But even though he is old, Ramos is still quite direct in guarding the defense line.

It's common for defenders to score own goals, and Ramos shouldn't be criticized for it. Ramos' performance is still impressive, especially considering his age.

[rendravolt]

The game is very intense this second half, as Barca has shown much dominance and repeated attacks. Sergio Ramos presence at Sevilla defence is really giving the team some confidence. That's experience in display.
Lewandowski has really shown a great effort to score but the Sevilla goalie is another brilliant keeper mounting egd to edge on the goal post, at 72 minutes and his still keeping a clean sheet on this game with so much pressure from Barcelona.

Indeed, since Sergio Ramos has been around, Sevilla's defense line has become much stronger and more difficult to penetrate, but who would have thought that currently Barcelona is 1 goal ahead through an own goal from Sergio Ramos. It seems that we have too high expectations for Sergio Ramos in this match and Barcelona will definitely maintain this advantage until the final minute. I think Sevilla must improve the performance of its players in order to get better results, especially for the attack line which has felt less stable recently to be able to score goals.

I have seen before that Ramos was Barcelona's biggest enemy in La Liga, but today Ramos has become Barcelona's friend. just kidding
Barcelona won the match 1-0. And Barcelona's only goal was a mistake by Ramos. I don't see Ramos' fault here. Lamine Yamal had a nice header, and it accidentally hit the feet of Ramos. However, Barcelona were lucky. Ramos played well throughout the match. But in the end, it was Ramos who lost Sevilla.
Sevilla's performance in this match impressed me. Because in the past matches we have seen a messy performance from Sevilla. Sevilla's overall performance in today's match was quite good. If the team can improve a bit in attack, Sevilla will be able to move towards the top of the points table.

It's true that we know that Sergio Ramos has been Barcelona's enemy for years when he was a Real Madrid player and of course Sergio Ramos also wanted to tackle Barcelona in last night's match. But unfortunately, this time Sergio Ramos actually had bad luck and became the only player who benefited Barcelona with his own goal. Indeed, in this process Lamine Yamal seemed to have made the right decision, but when Sergio Ramos tried to block it, he accidentally hit his leg. At least Sevilla were able to play quite well despite the mistakes they made and they must remain confident in the next match and forget about this defeat.

Seville was becoming stronger with every round, Barcelona was really difficult to win this match, but they were still able to defeat and regain first place, at least until Girona and Real played their match. It is important for Seville to continue to take shape, they have a lot of important games in the Champions League in front, with such a game as they showed yesterday with Barcelona they will have good chances to try to take second place in the Group. Or, according to tradition, from the third place, try to win at EL. )

Barcelona got the three points yesterday against a weak Sevilla no matter that they mobilized and played well yesterday night against Barcelona,all the teams do though not only Sevilla.Barcelona came from a draw 2-2 against Mallorca in midweek and they needed a win yesterday night which they got and are calm now about what will happen next.

All the pressure is on Real Madrid tonight to win against Girona who strangely this year was in first place leading the La Liga until yesterday night and if they win against Real they got to first place again.It will surely be a difficult game tonight and I predict an over 2.5 goals bet as a safe one here.

Sergio Ramos impressed at Camp Nou against Barcelona.

Barcelona is now at the top of the standings even though this victory was created by Sergio Ramos' own goal, Lamine Yamal's header, whose intention was to provide a pass to his partner, touched Ramos' leg and he was unable to block it. I think in this match, Barcelona was unlucky not to be able to score a goal. even though, they have many opportunities. they had 4 shots on target out of 18 total shots, and 4 big chances.1 of them hit the goal post.
Sevilla goalkeeper Orjan Nyland made several brilliant saves, although in the end Ramos made a blunder with an own goal. Barca also won, although not as smoothly as we predicted and hoped.

On the other hand, Sevilla played quite well, especially the goalkeeper. they were able to put up resistance, even though they didn't have as many opportunities as Barcelona.
Well, in the next few hours, an important match will be held for both Girona and Real Madrid. The team that wins this match will automatically shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. and I hope that the two teams that will compete in this match will provide very interesting and exciting broadcasts to watch.

Not only he will pick form, but the Spanish La Liga is a place where he spent quite a good number of years playing for Real Madrid, and he has become familiar with the league, therefore adapting is not going to be a thing of worry at Sevilla he just need more time to blend in with the team's pattern of play. Every player makes a mistake and this own goal of Ramos is not the first of its kind.

Ramos is entirely responsible for Sevilla's defeat against Barcelona. How could he make such a mistake in the end? Such a mistake was never expected from a world-class defender like him. The way he scored his team's goals, it felt like he was a Sevilla player and not a Barcelona player. I don't understand how he got the ball back from the point where he was standing.  

Own goals are not unusual. We have seen many players scoretheir  own goals before but in a different way.  

Ramos was standing slightly in front of the goalpostt, from where he was standing a defender would never pass the ball back because the empty goalpostt was right behind him but why did he pass the ball back?
He might be dropped from the team for the mistake he made.

No doubt, Sometimes own goal happens not only due to the fault of the player but also as a result of pressure coming from the opponent team Barca, and the blame should not only be on the shoulders of Ramos, if the team as a whole was containing or matching pressure with Barcelona, the opponent wouldn't have had the opportunity to near their eighteen-yard box let alone putting the defender Ramos on that pressure that resulted in him giving a wrong back pass from the head cross that caused the goal.

Ramos was so keen on scoring a goal against Barcelona but he scored an own goal instead.    But it was really unlucky for him of course. Sevilla were doing pretty good against them in this game actually. If this own goal didn't happen then maybe they could have even got a point in Camp Nou.

At least Sevilla didn't play very poorly. But they need to make some progress in their results as well. For example next time in the league they are hosting Vallecano. I would expect them to beat Vallecano without serious problems. Right after that they have a game against Real Madrid which is a really challenging fixture.

Yes, Ramos failed to anticipate the ball well, and if Sevilla can hold Barcelona to a draw, Orjan Nyland will definitely be Man of the Match. Barcelona failed to convert various opportunities into goals, which could have resulted in a bigger victory. Joao Cancelo came out as Man of the Match, the loan player's performance was quite impressive with the Blaugrana in that match. The standings will definitely change again after the results of the match between Girona and Madrid, I will wait for Girona to suffer their first defeat this season.

Girona is indeed in good form, but I think Madrid has all the attributes to give Girona a defeat this time. Los Blancos will be motivated to overtake Barcelona at the top, Ancelotti will not underestimate Girona and will field his best squad. A narrow victory was enough for Madrid, as capital to face defending Serie A champions Napoli in the next match.

Sevilla should be able to get 1 point based on the statistics of both teams after the match ends. I liked Sevilla's performance in playing the match. OG Ramos accidentally blocked Yamine Yamal's header. Ramos intended the ball he was holding to be anticipated by Nyland but the goalkeeper was not in a ready position.
There were quite a lot of changes in Sevilla's game in the match against Barcelona. The statistical difference with Barcelona is not that big so in the next match, it looks like they can get better results which can improve their position in the standings.

Barcelona were very lucky in the game they played against Sevilla they were able to achieve full point despite Sevilla toughness.

Barcelona's victory is not considered lucky either. They got the three points because of their effort and hard work throughout the match.

[execijutiere]

In the opening match of the week, we saw an important game, Barcelona hosted Sevilla. Since both teams had a Champions League match during the week, I guess they moved this match early. Of course Barcelona was the favorite as they were the hosts, but we can say that Sevilla plays at a more serious level in such matches. The only goal in the match was an own goal by Sergio Ramos. Barcelona won the match with this goal and got an important win. I think Sevilla will get better in the future.

[laurenB7742]

Girona, the surprise and flash team of the season, go into week eight as leaders. Michel's team are unbeaten and won again at Villarreal after falling behind earlier in the week. They have made some very good additions to last season's good squad. For Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior could return to the starting eleven this time but i don't expect Alaba to play and Rüdiger is available but not fully fit. Real struggled in the Atletico Madrid derby, especially in defending air balls. Girona can take advantage of this with Dovbyk. I think Girona will score but Real Madrid can pull rabbits out of the hat in these games with their big team reflexes. I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.

Barcelona has taken the first place in the league now, a lucky win and 3 points, so they have 20 points only 1 point more. But today the topgame is played in Girona, the guest is Real Madrid. Girona has won the last 6 games, the series of real madrid is not so good. The last match between the two teams was on 25.04.2023, there Girona won 4:2 against Madrid. The name Castellanos was everywhere in Spain, he score 4 goals against real madrid. Today he will not play, he moved to lazio rom.

Girona has 19 points in 7 matches and Barcelona has 20 points in 8 matches. A win for Girona or Madrid in today's match will see Barcelona lose top spot in the table. However, if the match between Girona and Madrid is a draw, the top spot in the table will be occupied by Barcelona.

The way Girona have performed in the first 7 matches this season is amazing. Girona team surprised everyone. They are unbeaten so far and Girona have won 6 out of 7 matches. However, Madrid are a very experienced team. They will definitely not want to lose against a team like Girona. However, Madrid lost 4-2 in the last match against Girona. Madrid will have to avenge the previous defeat today. There is no doubt that the match will be competitive.

I would expect them to beat Vallecano without serious problems. Right after that they have a game against Real Madrid which is a really challenging fixture. 

Yes it was a bad day for Ramos, as the goal he scored in his own net cost Sevilla a defeat to Barcelona. Despite their defeat in this match, overall they played well, it can only be said that they were unlucky to lose with a goal created by their own players. It must be recognized that Sevilla successfully suppressed every attack launched by Barcelona, they also created several opportunities, just did not lead to a goal. Next they will go to the Champions League match against PSV.

Barcelona actually played decent in this match. But in my opinion, Sevilla was really unlucky to lose this one. They had shown good attacking in this match. It was really unlucky that Sergio Ramos actually ended up scoring an own goal. Otherwise, they definitely could have got one point from this match.

And does anyone have any idea about the injury situation of Raphinha? I know it is a hamstring injury. But I don't know for how long he is going to be out of the action.

Anyway, this has taken Barcelona to the first position in the La Liga table again. Let's see if Real Madrid can win the next match because if they do they will be ahead.

In my opinion, Sevilla was good enough to be able to withstand the aggressive play of Xavi's squad, even though they had to suffer an own goal, but overall without this goal Barcelona couldn't do anything other than share the points. Not being able to score a goal for Barcelona was clearly very negative because of Barcelona's total of 18 shots, only 4 were on target. This victory was considered lucky for Barcelona which brought them back to the top of the standings. Xavi must immediately carry out an evaluation after this match because without a goal is a little less good for a club like Barcelona whose players are more stable than Sevilla.

Xavi Hernandez is a promising coach that have purpose for the club, his vision is to see Barcelona on-top La Liga table and lifting the most significant title which is the UEFA Champions League title. But he first of all, concentrate on his opponents in league game. Sevilla performance in the game was outstanding, good to see José Luis Mendilibar men displayed such incredible qualities towards the blaugrana, though they lost the game but it have given them the necessary motivation to start winning crucial games. Sevilla have a long way to go this season, just a matter of time before the bounce back to winning ways which is purely going to be beneficial to the club and there supporters.

Sevilla perform better than expectations in this match, and they were surely deserve one point after having performance like this in all match even they were unlucky to have own goal and lost of point which was surely important for them and Barcelona with this win now having top spot for one day because now after few hours we will have another interesting match which will decide who is going to stay at the top for rest of the week.

In last few matches, we have decline in performance of the Barcelona which is surely not good as now things are going to be tough for the all top ranked teams which are competing in top leagues with Champions League match is also coming after few days, so they need to be perfect for this all Sevilla is surely now back in business and most chances we will have good performance from them in coming matches.

In the game between Real Madrid and Las Palmas, Vinicius Junior played for his team ad n got recovered and was injured for some weeks, obviously, Ancelotti was under pressure because of this player being injured and other players in Real Madrid had to do his job and finish the balls during that time but in this game when Vinicius Junior returned to the field, Ancelotti was not satisfied at all and he was complaining about this player.
It seems Ancelotti should be given more time to Vinicius to get back to his good form.

Vini may not have played well in the match against Las Palmas, but in today match maybe Vini will be able played in his good performance. Anyway, Real Madrid cannot afford lose points to stay close with Barcelona, and it seems like they will play quite well. But yeah, we'll see today because Girona is not a weak opponent either, and it's going to be a big match at there.

But yeah, we'll see today because Girona is not a weak opponent either, and it's going to be a big match at there.

They were doing fine without him and I felt that instead of rushing to play him against Las Palmas, Ancelotti would had allow him to rest and be fully fit to play against  Girona which is a more tougher side, Vini jnr just recovered from injury so I won't be suprised if his performance was not very welcoming especially since he's not fully recovered, but Vinicius is a star player for Realmadrid and I believe he'll  be fully fit and ready to face Girona today.

 Girona's form came as a surprise this season cause I didn't expect them to be at the position they're currently, well I'll love to see how they'll do against a bigger team, if they're ready to be among the league contender this season, it would come as a suprise if they win Madrid today but I doubt because we could see them suffer their 1st  defeat against Realmadrid today.

I agree that Sevilla's loss in this match was because they were unlucky, Barcelona could not create goals, and the 1 goal that came in this match was a goal born from Sevilla's Sergio Ramos.
Yes Sevilla could have held Barcelona at bay, and I think a draw would have been the result had there been no own goal. But this is football, sometimes luck is also the deciding factor whether a club wins or loses. And that happened to Sevilla in this match, they must be willing to lose points because of their unluckiness.
