La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Docnaster]

Yes I am not surprised at the result recorded by Real Madrid after the return of one of the big player from injury and to a great extent the outcome has changed a lot of wrong perceptions that fans were beginning to have towards the club due to their recent poor performance in the leagues but them now that the player has returned from the injury,  the result we are seeing is what is expected and a big boost to what we can expect in the coming weeks and legs in this round of the tournament.

Real Madrid has a track record of great performance in the last few seasons back,  and the departure of Benzema and Vinius whose both efforts and presence in Real Madrid have changed a whole lot in previous matches so now that the player is back from injury,  it means we should watch out for some exciting time for Real Madrid.

Vini Jnr is a star player for Realmadrid and most teams tend to suffer for while when they lose their star players to injury however Realmadrid managed to survive in the league without Vini Jnr based on the fact that they got other quality players they could rely on but their performance reduced and winning some matches was quite tough for them cause they lacked a player that could fit into Vini's rile perfectly.

 However since his arrival they've been very successful and are finding it more  easy to win games, Vinicius Junior is very skillful and contributes alot to the teams success, therefore his teammates would be very happy to have him back into the squad,  especially Jude Bellingham cause he'll help reduce the pressure of scoring goals that's on him currently.

Undoubtedly, Vinicius Jnr is a very important member of the Real Madrid squad and since his return from action after being sidelined with injury, he has helped improved the club's performance both in the Spanish La Liga as well as in the UEFA Champions League competition. The Brazilian without doubt is one of the best wingers in Europe at the moment.
However while he was away, Real Madrid were also winning their games because of the fact that Jude Bellingham has been on fire for the club since the start of the season. The England international has been more influential to Real Madrid's impressive results than any other person on the club since the start if the season.

One area they need to address is in attack by bringing in a good striker, that's one area where they're not quite there yet. If only they had a good striker this season, it would make them even stronger. Logicaly when they don't have a striker to rely on they are already solid, especially when they have one.
I'm just worried that when their current goal-scoring player is unavailable due to certain factors, it will make it difficult because there are no other plyers, especially strikers who can break the deadlock they face for example.

Of course, without reliable players who can scored, Real Madrid will have difficulty to get full points in all competitions. Although currently the depth of Real Madrid squad is not too bad, but performance of the second tier players is always unstable. I mean sometimes they have good performance when played, but not always good. Ancelotti will be very confused if Real Madrid reliable player is unavailable because that is key for Real Madrid victory so far.

[Weawant]

It's the Vinius effect. Real Madrid struggled a little when Vini got injured and with his return, there is some boost in the forward power, but this just goes to show that Real Madrid are an injury or two away from being a completely different team

Vinicius surely has a big role in Real Madrid attacking line. When he got injured, Real Madrid has no other left winger that has the same level as him. That's why Real Madrid performance seems decreasing a bit. Although Real Madrid actually has an option (Brahim Diaz) but Ancelotti seems not really like this player. I don't know what the reason is, but it is very unfortunate to see Brahim Diaz situation in Real Madrid.

There is no experienced striker in Real Madrid's squad. Vini is now their  main striker . But I would say don't have  high hopes for Vini. Vini is a talented player it's true . But so far Vini has not been able to prove  himself as a regular scorer. Last season he played in 33 La Liga matches, scoring just 10 goals and  assisting 5. Rodrygo, another Madrid striker, is in a similar situation.  So I don't think Madrid's performance will go to another level now that Vini is back from injury . Real Madrid will still be dependent on the performance of their midfielders. Madrid's performance  will depend on Bellingham-Kross-Modrich's performance.

The return of vini is a thing of joy for Madrid as they have managed to struggle through other games in his absence, but now it going to seem like the struggling days are over as the man for the position is back, maybe this was the reason the strike force of Madrid for once looked like it was very sick and needed replacement, but no I think there will be no need for that.

Vini seems to be the best striker Madrid have but then it's obvious he isn't reliable as he is now an injury prone player, even before the injury he was that outstanding in performance but then he was just fit for the strike force as he was able to score a few goals but then he needs to improve his goal scoring skill as it's needed to help the team as that has been what they lacked the most.

One main purpose the return of vino will definitely serve will be a morale boost for the front line as they can be sure to get goals after making the moves and giving the necessary assist needed and required of them. I hope to see the team perform better than they have done in the past few games, in their next UCL game I hope he will be playing and will definitely deliver them.

Vini Jnr is a star player for Realmadrid and most teams tend to suffer for while when they lose their star players to injury however Realmadrid managed to survive in the league without Vini Jnr based on the fact that they got other quality players they could rely on but their performance reduced and winning some matches was quite tough for them cause they lacked a player that could fit into Vini's rile perfectly.

 However since his arrival they've been very successful and are finding it more  easy to win games, Vinicius Junior is very skillful and contributes alot to the teams success, therefore his teammates would be very happy to have him back into the squad,  especially Jude Bellingham cause he'll help reduce the pressure of scoring goals that's on him currently.

Vinicius Junior is a big name, a big threat whenever defenders see's him approaching, I do not doubt his capacity but Vinicius Junior without a concrete number nine is not complete.
Did you get to watch his combination with Karim Benzema, that's the missing ingredients in that soup Real Madrid is trying to cook. Folks rate Joselu, ( though I don't doubt he's been a good fighter for the club ) but he can't lead Real Madrid.

Having great midfielder's and a great defense/ defenders would not be completed without a perfect replacement for Karim Benzema.
The season has a long way to go, I'm counting how many league goals Joselu can achieve.

[red4slash]

Of course, without reliable players who can scored, Real Madrid will have difficulty to get full points in all competitions.

Madrid can still score goals and their goal productivity is good, which means they have players to rely on in the current situation.
We're too worried about them not having a pure striker which makes us sceptical although with their current form I think they're still pretty good it's just that there are doubts when there's no pure striker because one of the cornerstones that Madrid always do when Benzema is in the squad is to put pressure as if Madrid aren't playing well but so far they've been very good.

We can't be naive because it would be better if Madrid had a pure striker because it would add to their aggressiveness but for now they're doing well and they're not thinking too much about that because if they want to try and bring in new players they'll have to wait until the winter transfer window opens.

Real Madrid is going to face Osasuna soon in La Liga and since they are in the first place of the table and they have a close race with Barcelona, it's very important for them to win the game against Osasuna and take the three points from this match but the bad news for David Alaba before this game is about their palyer, David Alaba, he got injured recently and there I the chance for him to miss this game but hopefully he could train with other players. But still hard to say Real Madrid is going to lose points in that game. 

[TopT3ns]

It's the Vinius effect. Real Madrid struggled a little when Vini got injured and with his return, there is some boost in the forward power, but this just goes to show that Real Madrid are an injury or two away from being a completely different team

If both Vini and Bellingham get sidelined, that when you will realize that Real Madrid need a good natural striker.

Real Madrid is always dependent on several other team members; when some of its players are injured, they should continue to play well and continue to give their best contribution to make Real Madrid win. Real Madrid already has a pretty good striker, but the teamwork is still lacking, making it difficult to win.

Undoubtedly, Vinicius Jnr is a very important member of the Real Madrid squad and since his return from action after being sidelined with injury, he has helped improved the club's performance both in the Spanish La Liga as well as in the UEFA Champions League competition. The Brazilian without doubt is one of the best wingers in Europe at the moment.
However while he was away, Real Madrid were also winning their games because of the fact that Jude Bellingham has been on fire for the club since the start of the season. The England international has been more influential to Real Madrid's impressive results than any other person on the club since the start if the season.

It is clear that he is a player who has quite a big influence in the Real Madrid squad because his role on the front line has a big influence on the results they get. I think Vini's return will be a breath of fresh air for Real Madrid in Laliga because Ancelotti can again stage a deadly duel on Real Madrid's front line between Vini, Bellingham and Rodrygo. Vini has made 5 appearances in Laliga and contributed 1 goal and so far, he has always been Ancelotti's mainstay in every match. So it's no surprise that his return to the squad has made Real Madrid strong again after they had problems on the front lines in the previous few matches.

Real Madrid is currently leading the Laliga standings with a 1 point lead over its eternal rival in 2nd place. In the next match, Real Madrid will face Osasuna. Vini is back in the team, I think they will be able to beat Osasuna in this match, even Osasuna is also in an unstable condition because they have only won 3 wins so far.

Lewandowski is an important player for Barcelona so that when he gets injured it will have significant impact on the team progress for some time to come some reports state that he could return at the end of October but there are also several rumors stating that Lewandowski has an ankle injury which may be severe enough to require a longer recovery period.

Lewandowski's injury against Porto was certainly felt hard by Barcelona because after all he is a key player at the club. In fact, he had to miss the next few matches until his condition completely recovered. while on the other hand maybe he will also miss El Classico, one of the most important matches in La Liga. This is certainly quite difficult for Barcelona because after all they need a full squad to fight Real Madrid, their toughest enemy in La Liga during El Clasico. But what else, Lewandowski's condition is not yet possible, forcing Barcelona to change strategy. Not only that, Lewandowski also has to focus on healing so that he can optimally strengthen Barcelona again not only in La Liga but also in the UCL.

[Leviathan.007]

Nacho has been suspended for 3 matches for dangerous behavior that affects the career of the fouled player. Having received a direct red card after a harsh tackle on Portu in the 3-0 win over Girona last weekend, the Real Madrid captain was heavily fined by the Spanish Football Federation.

Nacho's punishment was justified, and I believe it should be even stricter in such instances. Such malicious tackles have the potential to end a player's career.

It does seem like you've got a personal beef for Luka Modric, He will leave Real Madrid for sure one day, bit before that one day, let's give him his flowers for the way he helped support those youngsters boss that midfied against Napoli.
As far as I'm concerned, Modric remain a core member of Real Madrid, he is not to be left out when you line up the list of experienced players.

Luka Modric is a quietly dedicated player, but his role is immensely significant in both Real Madrid and the Croatian national team. He serves as the linchpin, connecting all the stars at Real Madrid to create a formidable team. Modric's tenacity, even at the age of 38, is a rare quality, and he undoubtedly deserves to be considered a legend at Real Madrid.

Playing at this age is a lot for any palyer and as you said Modric is a 38-year-old palyer we know any palyer should leave his team one day or get retire there, Modric is an effective and important palyer in Real Madrid and he achieved many titles with his team but still even a great palyer like Modric should think about leaving and since there are some younger players in Real Madrid like Jude Bellingham and obviously Ancelotti will choose younger players to have a fresher and younger team.

Bilbao has odds @1.40 and it's clearly they are the favourite especially today they will facing weak team Almeria and we all know Almeria performance was very poor this season and their position even at the bottom of standings league because from 8 latest matches Almeria only able to gets 3 points and their defensive lines also is quite poor because from those matches Almeria have already to conceded 21 goals

About team conditions both teams is in the good shape because so far there was no injured players or suspension players from them but Almeria should be careful to Bilbao striker Inaki Williams because he has showing impressive performance recently and in the last 4 matches Williams he has been scores 3 goals so in my opinion not impossible today he will be scored again and considering the condition of Almeria which is not really good i think Bilbao will be the winner of this match

I am almost sure that next season the time has come when Mbappe makes the step from PSG to Real Madrid, but it is still Mbappe and he is probably the player with the most drama in history when it comes to transfers. But in terms of how Mbappe plays and the skillset he has, it would be perfect for him to play with Vinicius Junior. I suppose you can't have more speed in your attacking line than that.

Man turned down the offer to move to Real Madrid when he had the chance, he is a lucky player, ( I shouldn't have said that, he has lots of qualities and he fits no other club than Real Madrid currently. )
I'm still pondering what offer he got from the French President ( Emmanuel Macron ) for him to stay back with Psg. Psg had qualities, but the French league is not the place to see him shine and get his hands on the Ballon d'or.

Saw the Champions League game and two players impressed me alot. Rudiger and Jude Bellingham. Rudiger bullied the fvck outta Victor Oshime, just the same way he did with Erling Haaland last season.
Even if they don't want to get to admit, Jude Bellingham has got to be the face of England and British football around the world. He has been consistent and would still be on thr same level. He doesn't need the media to get him hyped. Consistency and his high mentality will take him higher. Top player.

Couldn't agree more about Jude Bellingham and Rudiger. Both have their stories that are worth looking into. Rudiger was more or less a no name who fought his way up to the top and is now one of the best in his position. Bellingham was so young that many critics said his move to Real Madrid comes too early. Both are great examples that modesty, mentality and hard work pays off no matter the age.

Well, I think Mbappe could also fit very well into the Liverpool team or the Manchester City team as a left wing replacing Foden. Mbappe is still one level above anyone else, he is just in the wrong team.

But I think Real Madrid would be the best solution for everyone involved, us fans included. He would somehow perfectly fit into that white Real Madrid jersey.

Real Madrid already has a pretty good striker, but the teamwork is still lacking, making it difficult to win.

Right you said, Real Madrid should be able to play to the maximum even without their best players. even this happens not with Real Madrid in my opinion all clubs are sometimes like this, they play badly because there are no best players of course this is not a good thing. not to be used as an excuse if they appear without their best players if they train and play well it will lead them to victory, in the upcoming match against osasuna they must win to make them stronger and stay in their first place.

 Even in the statistics of Real Madrid's match with osasuna Real Madrid is unbeaten in its last 19 matches against Osasuna in all competitions Real Madrid has always won without conceding in its last 2 matches in La Liga and has always scored 2 goals in its last 3 home matches compared to osasuna who has only won 3 times in La Liga this season and those 3 wins were all away wins so there should be no reason for Real Madrid to be able to get a victory in the current match, they must be optimistic that they can show their best game in the upcoming match.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Today's game between Athletic Bilbao will definitely look like a walkover for the home side despite their loss to Real Sociedad last week they will pick up their piece and start all over again. I don't really know what happened that Athletic Bilbao didn't find the ball at the back in their last encounter, so for them to redeem themselves I believe today's game would be an easy one for both the Williams brothers for them to run through the defense of Almeria, since they (Almeria) are the weaker side in LA Liga. I expect a big win from the home side, 4 to 5 nil on this encounter.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Real Madrid are doing just fine in the La Liga this season. We can call this as Bellingham effect also in my opinion. Because since the day he joined the team he has been performing amazingly. Even in Vinicius Junior's absence Bellingham was carrying the team with a big level of contribution with goals. He has been like the main striker of the team. 

Today Real Madrid are going to play a really tough match against Napoli away in the Champions League. It is a quite challenging one for Real Madrid maybe but I expect them to show a solid performance.

While Vinicius and Bellingham are both on the pitch Real Madrid would be really deadly in the attacking line.

Well, the day is very good, the truth is that I think that things can flow correctly towards Real Madrid, it has good things, and what you say is true, for now Vinicius is not there, but Bellingham has shouldered the team and That's very nice, because a leader like that should be taken by someone with experience, and when you see this player he is doing everything so that things are given to the team, for me he is Ancelotti's secret weapon and for MADRID, they are not They are first in the League, but they are doing very well, they are there, Barcelona is not first either, and that is not bad either, things are getting good wherever you see them, I personally have a lot of faith in them. Madrid, has a basis where they can do things well, I think Ancelotti has to change some strategies, they resist both times very well, but I see that they are pushing to the last and that is a double-edged aram, because a game of 90 minutes, for me they have to manage everything from the beginning, maybe save a little energy at the end, but from the beginning they must ensure the game, the constant attack that Madrid has is something that we all like, but in In this case I think they have to be much more decisive when it comes to scoring goals, Bellinghan is hooked, they should take advantage of that, with the help of Rodry they can do a lot.



Politano: ‘Napoli face Real Madrid like Liverpool’

It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Inter-Benfica on the LIVEBLOG.

The Partenopei won 2-1 away to Sporting Braga in their opening group fixture, while Carlo Ancelotti’s side only managed a 1-0 against Union Berlin.

This is the first home match of the tournament for Napoli, who are reigning Champions of Italy, and Politano looks back to what happened last season against Liverpool.

“It comes at a moment where we are in good form and it can launch us towards great targets. I remember last season we had the big win against Liverpool and never stopped after that,” he told Sky Sport Italia.

Ancelotti has won more Champions League trophies than any other coach in history and comes here with Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior on amazing form, but he also has Eduard Camavinga as a makeshift full-back.

“Real Madrid are one of the best teams in the world, but they do not like running backwards, so we must try to keep the ball as much as possible,” added Politano.

One of the things that I really like about the Italian team is that they are convinced that they must win, they were the owners of the Serie A, they must show that their football is great, that they have a lot to prove, that they are the best in Italy, no It doesn't matter who has left, or stayed, they are from Italy, the best representation of that country, so they can't let everything stagnate just because Madrid is one of the strongest in the League and the UCL, they have They want to go out with their all, because that's why they are in the UCL. Furthermore, Napoli has a lot to prove, in this UCL they cannot do anything wrong to their fans because they have always shown that they are a very integral team, that they can make a difference and that they always They can be above any team , for me it is one of the teams that I am most curious about, after what I saw in Serie A.

It's the Vinius effect. Real Madrid struggled a little when Vini got injured and with his return, there is some boost in the forward power, but this just goes to show that Real Madrid are an injury or two away from being a completely different team

If both Vini and Bellingham get sidelined, that when you will realize that Real Madrid need a good natural striker.

Real Madrid has a great team at the moment, the truth is Bellingham has taken over the team alongside Vinicius, it was too much of a machine in the UCL Against Napoli who fought a lot to stay afloat , I don't deny it , they made Everything, they even tried to go ahead, but I think that Madrid is Madrid, they have a lot, but to be Honest , Napoli had a lot of level in doing it, although well, as I said, Madrid felt as if they were playing at the Bernabeu, for now the things in the league are going well , I think they can Do many more things so that they can continue doing well, I personally couldn't say that Madrid is much better armed than the Previous Season and things are looking very good so that in the League is going on a very good path, in fact I think that Madrid has a much Better team than Barcelona , this can be something very positive for everyone , even for the League itself, which can be very Good.

Barcelona struggle with injuries, Bellingham on fire for Real

BARCELONA, Oct 6 ― Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez may have to get creative with his team selection for their LaLiga game at Granada on Sunday as the champions grapple with injuries to key players, including striker Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski was Barca's top scorer last season and already has five league goals this campaign.

Yet the 35-year-old Pole was on the receiving end of a crunching tackle from Porto's David Carmo in Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League win and the Catalan club confirmed yesterday that he would be out of action with no timeline for his return.

Barcelona, who trail Real Madrid by a point at the LaLiga summit, also have to cope with injuries to Frenkie De Jong, Pedri and Raphinha.

Fortunately for Xavi, Granada, are second from bottom in the league with one win in eight games.

Well here things can look very even among the biggest in Spain and at the same time it gets hot, let's wait to see how these good teams Continue to perform, for me Real Madrid is the favorite, there is no other way it is one of the best , both for the League and for the UCL , although in the UCL things have come out very surprising , very strong teams have Lost.

Even in Vinicius Junior's absence Bellingham was carrying the team with a big level of contribution with goals. He has been like the main striker of the team. 

Today Real Madrid are going to play a really tough match against Napoli away in the Champions League. It is a quite challenging one for Real Madrid maybe but I expect them to show a solid performance.

While Vinicius and Bellingham are both on the pitch Real Madrid would be really deadly in the attacking line.

With or without their major players, they have established themselves as one of the best leading clubs in the UCL, as well as topping the La Liga table this season. When a team is outstanding, there is not much more they can do except winning games. Real Madrid is a top-notch team that is not intimidated by any opposition. Los Blancos defeated Napoli despite their peak performance with Naples; it was a challenging match for Carlo Ancelotti's side, but they have consistently performed in UCL games; I have optimistic expectations for the squad this season.

[Razmirraz]

Xavi had a bit of a headache in choosing the players who would be prepared when Barcelona played Granada in Week 9 of La Liga. Player injuries started to hit the Barcelona players which meant that several of Xavi mainstay players in Barcelona main squad had to be absent due to injuries. Pedri, Lewandowski, Raphinha and De Jong will certainly not be able to help Barcelona in the next few matches.

Due to injuries suffered by Raphinha and Lewandowski, Xavi had to rotate on the front lines. Yamal can be played to replace Raphinha, while Ferran Torres can be played in the place usually filled by Lewandowski. Xavi can still use the 4-3-3 scheme because Felix can complement Barcelona front line.

Ahead of the match vs Granada, Xavi didn't feel too stressed about his team's condition, because Granada is not a team like Villarreal or Valencia which can make things difficult for Barcelona. Granada position in second from bottom of the standings gives relief to Barcelona, they have also only won once in the 8 matches they have played in La Liga.

Xavi can be a little relieved by the opponent Barcelona faces this time, but when they face a stronger opponent, Barcelona will feel pressured because they can't play their mainstay player.

[Strongkored]

Real Madrid is going to face Osasuna soon in La Liga and since they are in the first place of the table and they have a close race with Barcelona, it's very important for them to win the game against Osasuna and take the three points from this match but the bad news for David Alaba before this game is about their palyer, David Alaba, he got injured recently and there I the chance for him to miss this game but hopefully he could train with other players. But still hard to say Real Madrid is going to lose points in that game. 

Looking at the odds, it can be seen that Real Madrid is predicted to win the match quite easily, especially in the H2H, Real Madrid is far ahead so this is enough to show that it will be a one-sided match with Real Madrid controlling the entire match with the possibility of them scoring lots of goals, my prediction Real Madrid will score more than two goals in this match.
Jude Bellingham will score another goal in my opinion and maybe Ancelotti will start Joselu from the first minute of the match because he also has enough ability to always score goals in Real Madrid matches, and because this is not a match with a high level of difficulty the coach will see the opportunity to rotate players so that several core players can be rested or only play in the second half.

Xavi had a bit of a headache in choosing the players who would be prepared when Barcelona played Granada in Week 9 of La Liga. Player injuries started to hit the Barcelona players which meant that several of Xavi mainstay players in Barcelona main squad had to be absent due to injuries. Pedri, Lewandowski, Raphinha and De Jong will certainly not be able to help Barcelona in the next few matches.

Xavi and Barcelona have to use Lewandowski very carefully because he is old already and at his age, any serious injury can put his career at risk of ending. He contributed a lot for Barcelona to win La Liga last season but Barcelona must prepare for time they will no longer have him or his best performance.

We already witnessed how Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo lost their best performances after just a few months or one season. With old players, things change very fast so it will be what happens with Lewandowski in future.

Due to injuries suffered by Raphinha and Lewandowski, Xavi had to rotate on the front lines. Yamal can be played to replace Raphinha, while Ferran Torres can be played in the place usually filled by Lewandowski. Xavi can still use the 4-3-3 scheme because Felix can complement Barcelona front line.

Yamal can replace Raphinha well but Ferran Torres is not a striker and using him means Barcelona will play without a classic striker. Ferran is more like a forward or an attacking midfielder and Barcelona have to change their tactics especially their front line without Lewandowski and have to use Ferran Torres as their replacement for the Polish striker.

Today's game between Athletic Bilbao will definitely look like a walkover for the home side despite their loss to Real Sociedad last week they will pick up their piece and start all over again. I don't really know what happened that Athletic Bilbao didn't find the ball at the back in their last encounter, so for them to redeem themselves I believe today's game would be an easy one for both the Williams brothers for them to run through the defense of Almeria, since they (Almeria) are the weaker side in LA Liga. I expect a big win from the home side, 4 to 5 nil on this encounter.

It will be easy match for bilbao but almeria might be giving a tough game for bilbao but the chance for this to happen is quite small at this moment. There are many options that can be used to bet in this match.

Bilbao will be actually winning the game against almeria. Bettors can also take over 2.5 goal as a overall goal to happen in this match. Btts is unlikely to happen.

Double chance was also offering safest bet opportunity for all of bettors. I thikn that if anyone would prefer to pick 1x2 bilbao instead of another option.

@1.40 for bilbao
@7.40 for almeria

We know the different is very big caused by bilbao is in top 10 teams right now while almeria is still struggling at the bottom.

Picking bilbao will be a sense choice for sure.
