La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[GbitG]

Barcelona are winning and look to see out the game, but their overall play has not been convincing at all. Struggling against teams like Almeria who are sitting at the bottom of the table means they will find it very difficult to make it to the quarter finals against Napoli in the champions league.

Remains to be seen if the squad is boosted during the January transfer window.

Yep, buddy, this is true that Barcelona didn't perform what they needed; they won the match on luck, and from all above, Sergi Robero has played such a beautiful and fantastic match. He scored twice against Almeria, and once again, he made himself a winning hero for Barcelona.

By the way, Xavi needs to place more emphasis on team performance because real Barcelona needs a lot of modus and consistent effort, while currently Xavi's crateria does not match up with his ex-performance status. Moreover, Robert Lawandoski has played poorly and didn't do the best for Barcelona, which they need. That's sucky, bro, that Barcelona hit 17 shots on goal but only scored 3 goals.

[kawetsriyanto]

Barcelona's defense was not as strong as last season, and because of that their goal productivity also decreased. Of course, Xavi has to solve his defensive problems this season, which quite often concedes goals in every game, this is never good considering Barcelona have conceded 21 goals in 18 La Liga matches.  It is true that Ter Stegen's injury made it easy for Barcelona to concede goals, although Inaki Pena Sotorres was also able to perform well with several important saves.

We can say clearly that Barcelona defense is weak now. They have no strong center defenders, they also lost their main goalkeeper. Xavi also has another problem in attacking line, Lewandowski played underperformance after he recovers from the injury. Actually, Barcelona isn't in a good condition now, Xavi has some complicated problem. Ideally, the solution is to buy some players in January transfer window but Barcelona has a problem with their financial. Xavi only can get the option for new players from Barcelona academy. Xavi have done this option by taking Fermín López and Lamine Yamal in the previous transfer window. However, this way won't bring instant impact, the young players need a lot time to play in their best level.

For the defense problem, I won't blame Inaki Pena. To have a strong defense, it doesn't only require a strong goalkeeper but it also needs solid defenders. If Barcelona still have bad defenders, they won't improve their defense strength although Ter Stegen can recover in the near future. The solution is to have stronger defenders.

Meanwhile for the attacking problem, Barcelona needs to buy a top striker. Xavi can't rely on their academy to improve the attacking line. They need a striker like Osimhen, Mbappe, or L. Martinez.

I didn't watch this match, but referring to the statistics and footage of the goals from both teams there is something I can review. Barcelona should be able to beat their opposing team easily in this match. apart from playing at Camp Nou, Almeria is the team that lives in the red zone at the bottom of the rankings. however, in this match, Barcelona seemed very difficult to win the match easily. in this match, Barcelona was able to score goals quickly, but the opposing team was able to respond in a short time. even though, in the previous season Barcelona had a very solid defense. this season, Barcelona's defense has often conceded goals. in several matches, I saw Araujo not playing well and tending to underperform. likewise with Balde, he often needs adjustments until his game is better. Kounde is no exception, he also often plays unstable. so, there is homework that Xavi has to do. in particular, Inaki Pena, who played poorly. in this match, Araujo and Inaki Pena made 2 mistakes so that Almeria was able to score 2 goals against Barcelona.

Apart from that, the bad news is that I just found out that Pedri has been injured again. unfortunately for Barca, Ter Steger's status is not even certain when he will return to the main squad. De Jong, his status is suspended. but based on statistics, Barcelona appeared more dominant and even had many chances. there were 30 total shots, 11 on target, 5 big chances. as a result, the match ended with a score of 3-2. for the Champions League match, let's just wait because the match still has quite a long time lag. the point is, what will Xavi do with his squad. in particular, the problem of the defense line must also be addressed apart from the front line. for the midfield, even though Gavi and Pedri are injured, at least there are still Gundohan and De Jong who can be relied on. well, there's no other way, apart from just following developments, especially since Barcelona is one of my favorite teams in this competition.

[harapan]

Barcelona could finally sigh some relief with an easy fixture coming their way against Almeria, who are at the bottom of the league, leaking goals. Almeria have conceded 39 goals in just 17 games. Barcelona havn't won a match in their last 3 and would be looking to get one tonight. The attackers and defenders could use this fixture to build confidence and score goals while keeping cleansheet.

As unexpected as it was, there was nothing easy about this match. Barcelona didn't show any improvement. If they had played against a better side tonight they would have lost this game. When the worst team in the league scores you two goals that means you're in a very bad situation. Ineki Penesde a very big error, Aruajo wasn't at his best. That was a horrible performance from the defense.
To me, Cancelo is the only player for Barcelona that has been impressive.

Barcelona has no fixtures again till the 4th of next month, that's a lot of time for them to rest and figure out what tgey need to do differently. They travel to the US in the next couple of hours for a match that could bring in some much needed profit so they would be able to add one or two signings to their squad. If they take this form into the next year they will finish the season without a trophy.

[mammusu]

Barcelona has returned ahead of Almeria. The current score is 3-2 after Sergi Roberto scored his second goal. Barcelona had difficulty winning this match because Almeria played with high enthusiasm, but Barcelona really dominated this match and really did not deserve to lose points.

Now the match is over and Barcelona managed to win this match even though they really struggled throughout the match. The captain scored 2 goals, the other goal was scored by Raphinha, this was a good comeback for the team after Jordi Alba's visit some time ago. Lewandowski again failed to score a goal, of course this is not good for him at all because as a striker he has to score goals to maintain his good performance.

A good win for Barcelona in today match because they managed to win again after they failed to do so in the previous two match. I see that Barcelona needs hard work in this match because Almeria was able to perform better in this match. However, Barcelona strength was still quite strong compared to Almeria, so Almeria was not able to defend well after the score was 2-2. Where Sergi roberto was able to score 1 more goal and led barcelona to become winner.

It is believed that Almeria, who are at the bottom of the standing, will find it difficult to secure points in today match because barcelona is improving their performance and barcelona managed to do so by winning 3 point. Barcelona again overtook Atletico madrid with an additional 3 point in today match.

[Weawant]

So far in the second half of the match between both teams(Barcelona vs Almeria), the scoreline is 2:2. It is unbelievable that Barcelona is dragging victory with the bottom team of the Laliga table, upon they are playing the match at their home, they still find it hard to comfortably win with many goals against Almeria.
It will be a game of shame if Barcelona can't win Almeria but have a draw match with them at the 90 minutes of play. I don't know what will be Xavi excuse be if this match later ends in a draw.

Barcelona finally won by three goals after a 1-1 draw in the first half of the game where Almeria did tried their best for a team that is considered a weak team against Barcelona but Then Barcelona aswell did showed some dominance at some point and Almeria aswell was trying to balance the game and hoping to get a point from this game.

Barcelona was hosting this game and it was expected of the at such to be able to win Almeria without stress considering they are a bigger team and we're playing with their full squad from home but then it turned out that Barcelona was struggling at some point but most importantly they won and we're able to get three points so this could possibly get them back to their winning ways once again if they are able to stay consistent with improvement because at some point they seem to be Lossing some form.

There is not a single team that should be underestimated in La Liga, even though they are struggling in the relegation zone. Almeria almost stole points from Barcelona in today's match if Inaki Pena was not alert to thwart a header from a player using a free kick.

This was a match that Barcelona won with great difficulty, but I admit that Barcelona really dominated this match. Almeria was lucky not to concede more than 3 goals in this match considering that Barcelona had 11 good opportunities to score against them, but the 3-2 result is the result that puts Barcelona ahead of Atletico Madrid in the current standings. Xavi of course has to solve several problems, especially in his defense which has looked fragile this season.

It was a win that was deserved, and Barcelona was able to struggle and finally win the game. In the beginning I was angry with the way Barcelona were playing but after they won the game with so many chance that they were unable to convert to a goal. I was happy eith them, because I bet on Barcelona to win Almera.

Almera is also a club that allow defeat easily but on the 83rd minutes Barcelona took over the lead and made Almera to know that they are the ones in charge of the game. A brilliant game for Almera as they were able to draw the game until the winning goal came in, i was thinking that they will be a hard nut for Barcelona to crack but they won the game with 3-2 victory.

Barcelona have been poor lately after failing to win any if their last 3 matches in all competitions before today’s match against Almeria. They got lucky to win the match today, Almeria also showed they cannot be underrated and fought hard but they couldn’t get any points today. Barcelona really needs to up their game else they will get nowhere, they currently 3rd position in the La Liga and got promoted to the Champions league round of 16 but the question is with this form can they go far beyond the knockout stage? Can they even win Napoli? I think they can if they try their their best because Napoli is also not performing well.

Barcelona definitely needs to add more players to the squad to strengthen the team by January else they will keep suffering.

Every club can win but for Barcelona, they become more vulnerable to their opponents. Xavi's side have no excuse to give if they don't stand in position to win three points from their opponents and not meeting up the top four spot this season, I'll personally conclude that Barcelona are out of form and will not be able to stand out to become strong against upcoming oppositions in UCL and La Liga. Struggling is not a quality that Barcelona should be proud of this season because they're elite club and they should compose winning matches easier than expected on their end.

Barcelona's victory over Almeria was quite a relief for Xavi and his club, who experienced several defeats and results that were not in accordance with previous expectations. So far, at least Barcelona is still in the top 3, so no matter what, they will definitely still enter the UCL. But of course Barcelona also has other hopes, namely to hold the La Liga title again this season. but what happened this season was beyond their predictions, perhaps. Their performance has decreased quite a bit, especially because of several problems at Barcelona itself and also several injuries suffered by the players. Not only that, Xavi also doesn't seem to be able to optimally choose the players he hopes to buy in the next transfer market. So this will really provide a challenge for Xavi to manage his club again this season, where the competition is actually getting tougher.

Barcelona has never won easily against any team this season in both La Liga and the Champions League. Barcelona qualified for the round of 16 with great difficulty, while Barcelona also had difficulty getting maximum points in several easy matches in La Liga. The depth of the squad is good, but the effectiveness of the attack they have built is not that good. Barcelona struggled to win against Almeria today even though Barcelona ended with a win.

I'm worried that Lewandowski will be marginalized after failing to score in many games so far. Lewandowski has seen his goal productivity drop significantly this season, but Xavi still trusts him throughout the match. Xavi needs to rotate him to make Lewandowski compete better, Marc Guiu is there to do his best at every opportunity.

Barcelona team of before is not among the teams that any club can defeat but since they lost form they have totally stopped being a  threat to other clubs especially the small clubs which were initially afraid of playing against FC Barcelona right now every club play them without fear knowing too well that they have not been in their best of form. Personally I think Xavi should still be giving more time to work on the revival of the team and they should get a supporting striker to help Lewandoski since he has become an injury player since moving to Bayern Munich to Barcelona but regardless Xavi will have no reason not to see Barcelona going to the UCL next season and Xavi should fight to get to the round of 8 in the Champions League because I doubt if they can get get to the finals looking out the teams involved.

[Velvet78]

Barcelona had a really big difficulty in beating Almeria. Whenever they got ahead there was an answer by Almeria but finally Barcelona managed to win after getting ahead the third time.    Lewandowski was silent about scoring a goal today but at least he made an assist. This win was really important for Xavi indeed considering their recent form.

They lost five points in their previous two games in the end. If they lost points in this game as well then probably the point gap with Girona and Real Madrid both would have been wider. But this season will be really tough for Barcelona anyway. I don't feel like they will be able to win the La Liga title.

Barcelona are undoubtedly have high expectations because of their status as an elite club with a rich history of success. Of course They are demaded for three points in every match, especially against supposedly weaker opponents that reflects the club's high standards and legacy they have built over the years. Xavi's side, with their prestigious background, is always expected to maintain a high level of performance to put them in the title race in both La Liga and Champions League. Struggling against teams that are considered less challenging may raise concerns about their current form and ability to contend at the highest levels.

Barcelona have reputation with their philosophy, skilled players, and a winning mentality. Won 3-2 against Almeria need to be questioned about their form and readiness. Barcelona need to rise to the occasion and show their qualities, especially the defence structure which is quite concerning. This is not a consistency and the ability that can navigate them through challenges of the league. The expectation is that Barcelona, despite any transitional period, should still be formidable contenders in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Barcelona vs Almeria.

In this match it goes without saying that Barcelona won this match due to their luck. I thought that tonight's match will end with a 2-2 draw with Barcelona. But in the 83rd minute of the game, Barcelona made another chance and went ahead 3-2. The biggest shame for Barcelona fans is that Barcelona had to fight hard against Almeria, who are bottom of the La Liga points table, to break a 2-2 draw. Although Barcelona dominated throughout the game, Almeria's playing skills made it very difficult for Barcelona to win. However, Barcelona managed to ease the disappointment of the Barcelona fans by scoring the winning goal in the 83rd minute of the game.

Defending the tittle was my honest wish, from the start I've always rooted for them to defend the title bit injuries affected Barcelona. Though, I would say that they didn't start the season strongly. They struggled like we didn't expect and it affected how they played in La Liga and partly Champions League.
Tue management backing Xavi Hernandez makes sense, that's the right call to make, it won't be just nice throwing off a manager who won you the tittle last season. Besides, Barcelona are good at giving them legends time for upgrades and change.

They should level up and stop all of this unnecessary comparisons with Girona. Ain't it shameful? They should be doing this with Real Madrid and not Girona TBH!!

Barcelona played at home but they had difficulty beating Almeria even though Barcelona was able to control the game quite well but they needed time to score a goal. Lewandowksi is having difficulty scoring goals and I don't know why he has recently experienced a setback in scoring goals even though in today match he had 8 shots but none of them he could turn into a goal.

Even though in this match Barcelona were able to score 30 shots, if their forward players are not in their best form it will certainly make it difficult for them to score goals. However, today win is quite important for Barcelona because they need to get back to winning ways to increase their confidence in the competition for the title this season.

[Majestic-milf]

I'm a bit disappointed by their performance and even though it was a win for them, I expected them to keep a clean sheet because if you think of it, America is no match for their standard but what did we see? Two goals from them and at some point it looked as if Barca needed them to score before they'd get pushed to find a goal. From statistics, they were the stronger side but those goals conceded was a testament that Barcelona should not underestimate any club.

Xavi Hernandez and the team's supporters are quite aware of how rough and weak Barcelona have grown to become, all these mediocre teams have no regards for Barcelona because the Blaugrana in question is not in form. They barely win matches with ease efforts. Camp Nou have become any other random stadium in La Liga this season because Barcelona have found it to be difficult to easily win their opponents on home ground. The wining might be considered to be one of these lucky stars that got triggered by Barcelona. 3-2 victory against an average side doesn't seem to be promising for elite team.

The way I see it, they are seriously joking with their title chase and now that Girona is hot on the table, if they continue like this they won't even stand a chance. The game was a very annoying one and I know that big teams misbehave but this was like they were confidently fucking up. The season is still fresh and I'm certain if this continues like this, smaller teams will not be afraid to stand up to them. Take Girona for instance, they may be the table toppers now, but compared to last season, they weren't even worthy to tie the laces of Barcelona but you could imagine how they thrashed them 4-2.
 I'd have to admit that the laliga is tough and unpredictable this time around and it will leave many guessing as to who would end up the winner.

[TopT3ns]

Barcelona could finally sigh some relief with an easy fixture coming their way against Almeria, who are at the bottom of the league, leaking goals. Almeria have conceded 39 goals in just 17 games. Barcelona havn't won a match in their last 3 and would be looking to get one tonight. The attackers and defenders could use this fixture to build confidence and score goals while keeping cleansheet.

Barcelona has an opponent that is quite easy to beat, and Barcelona should win because this way they can start to increase their position at the top of the standings and catch up with quite a lot of points left behind. Barcelona needs at least four wins to catch up on the points they have left behind and compete for first place.
