La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

It seems João Félix had a poor performance and his performance was weak enough to make Xavi mad at this player. Before João Félix joined Barcelona he said how loved this team and he wanted to play for Barcelona but this player mostly couldn't have good performances since he started playing for Barcelona,
In the game between Barcelona and Almería, the performance of João Félix was weak enough to make Xavi not use this player in the best squad in the game against Las Palmas.

I don't think Felix is completely bad for Barcelona, if you look at his loan period to Chelsea last season, his performance was very different. It may not be easy for Felix to immediately adapt from Atletico-Chelsea-Barcelona, he needs time to understand the club culture and the coach strategy, his initial appearance with Barcelona does look promising. Previously, the President of Barcelona had stated that Felix was a priority to be retained, meaning his status could be made permanent when his loan period was over.

There is still time in the second half of the season for Felix to prove his quality, that he deserves to be given a permanent contract, and can gain Xavi full trust. The very expensive price must of course be balanced with the contribution he makes to the team, if that fails to materialize then Barcelona will send him back to Atletico when the season ends. Felix must be motivated to get permanent contract status, because returning to Atletico is not a good idea for his career.

I agree with you. I saw that Felix wasn't too bad in the Barcelona game, he just needed time to obey Xavi's wishes in the match. Besides, I think if Joao Felix is benched because of his poor performance, then Lewandowski also needs to be benched. I think that Xavi's character is almost the same as ETH's in choosing players and often blaming the players if this continues. I'm sure Barcelona and the players will suffer as long as Xavi is coach, the players will be blamed for everything.

but whatever it is I'm still curious about what Xavi saw in Felix that caused him to want to remove him from the starting lineup. I also don't remember him making many mistakes that ended in losing the ball. In fact, most of Barcelona's mistakes came from poor decisions at the back and strikers.

Real Sociedad vs Alaves

Real Sociedad is playing at home against Alaves. In 25 minutes, neither team can score a goal. Real Sociedad is trying to dominate the match. They have 69% ball possession in the match. But they can't make any strong attack yet.
It is normal that Alaves will play defensively in this match. Alaves will want to play a defensive strategy to draw the match. But the Sociedad team will try their best to get 3 points against a weak side like Alaves. So Sociedad should step up their attack. If not, it will not be easy for Real Sociedad's players to break Alaves' defence. If they win this match, Sociedad will be able to close the points gap with Athletic Bilbao.

In the game between Barcelona and Almería, the performance of João Félix was weak enough to make Xavi not use this player in the best squad in the game against Las Palmas.

For me, Felix is ​​the differentiating player at Barcelona at the moment.  Even though he didn't score a goal in every match, his role at Barcelona was quite good. let's just look at the statistics, Felix has started 13 of the 15 matches as the main starter for Barcelona. even though he only scored 3 goals and 2 assists, so far he is better than Ferran Torres. yeah, we can refer to the statistics that Joao Felix underperformed in the match against Almeria, but that is not a fair benchmark for what he has done while playing for Barcelona. after all, if a player experiences ups and downs in his performance, this is very normal. the most important thing is not to play badly as long as he plays with Barcelona. however, I agree that Joao Felix's performance cannot be said to be stable. and maybe, he needs more time to reach his playing level. for the Barcelona vs Las Pamas match, if I refer to several statistical predictions, Felix will still be included in Barcelona's starting eleven.

Well, by the way, Barcelona actually has a quite competitive squad. be it Joao Felix, Lamine Yamal, Gundohan, Joao Cancelo and other players, they can be really relied on. well, this is where Xavi's role is to show that he is a competent coach who is able to bring his team back to the right track. even though there are several players injured, and all of that is important for Barcelona. but still, as head coach Xavi must find the ideal formula with the available players. now Barcelona has a wonderkid from Brazil, Vitor Roque, and to be honest, I'm very curious about his performance. anyway, Barcelona still has lots of opportunities in the La Liga competition, at least there are still lots of games left until the end of this season.

What happened to the Getafe vs Vallecano match? I still can't believe Getafe got 3 red cards in this match. That was a fatal mistake for the hosts and if they get another red card then the match can no longer continue. But even though we only played with 8 people, it didn't change anything because Getafe lost the number of players to Vallecano and the result was predictable if Vallencano won.

Since the first red card, Getafe's defense became loose and Vallecano took advantage of this to score the first goal. In the second half the result was still the same and Getafe continued to be attacked by Vallecano players and as a result they scored another additional goal. The match ended with a score of 0-2 in favor of Vallecano and I can't stop thinking that the Getafe players were so emotional that the referee gave so many cards to the players. Vallecano was not provoked by the situation because they really needed this win so they could slowly climb up the standings.

I doubt if Real Sociedad can win today. They couldn't score in the first half. Although they performed somewhat well in the first 20 minutes, their performance thereafter was quite poor. And the important thing is that in the 36th minute the referee red carded Sociedad goalkeeper Alex Romiro. It will be more difficult for Sociedad to score against Alaves now with 10 players. Since Alaves' players play defensively, it is naturally difficult for Real Sociedad's players to score. And after getting the red card it became more difficult.

It is not over yet though for Real Sociedad as they are still the stronger team at the moment, but that red card turned the game and chances for both teams upside down. Before the game started obviously Alaves was a huge underdog, but now it is a tough fight to get through their defense and score that one goal that Real Sociedad needs. But again soccer is full of surprises, one bad action and a red card and the game goes a totally different way than anyone would have expected.

In the game between Barcelona and Almería, the performance of João Félix was weak enough to make Xavi not use this player in the best squad in the game against Las Palmas.

Barcelona are not in good shape, they have been struggling from one form to another without having exactly what to pin down this season, though they have good standings to boost their performance this season, they just need time to build up and become a better version of themselves. Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez is in charge and have specialized in dealing with the obstacles he would be facing this season. Barcelona have outstanding players but this players does lack consistency. Joao Felix is an important player for Barcelona, he has achieved quite major role in the frontline.

In the game between Barcelona and Almería, the performance of João Félix was weak enough to make Xavi not use this player in the best squad in the game against Las Palmas.

You are right, I believe, in that Felix's performance was not strong enough to convince Barcelona to sign him on a long-term basis. However, we also need to be aware that not only Felix's performance is lacking in Barcelona; all of the team's players are struggling this year. Let's take a look at Lewandowski's goals as well. He hasn't scored as many as ten goals this season because he hasn't been able to replicate his winning ways and Barcelona pride from the previous season.

Xavi needs to be patient with the players because not only the Barcelona team is struggling this season; he should be grateful that he is even holding onto fourth place in the league table. Real Madrid was able to play well last season without complaining, and they then made an attempt to assemble a young team, which has allowed them to perform well. As for the Barcelona team, I don't see anything wrong with them because I think their performance will secure a spot in the champion league the following season.

The red card thwarted Getafe's entire plans in this match, and what was worse was that they had to lose 3 players due to red cards in 1 match. I think things would have been very different if Getafe didn't get that red card, but today Rayo Vallecano deserved to celebrate their victory even against 8 Getafe players.

The match became unbalanced when one of the players received a red card, so that was the first impression why Getafe lost this match. Rayo Vallecano basically often surprises in several matches, they have even managed to thwart Barcelona's plans to win in the last few seasons. It was a lucky day for Getafe, but they also tried hard to win.

Of course, this match was not a draw and for Getafe this match went unexpectedly because the referee was very strict with them in that match. Three Getafe players received red cards and one of them was given to Man United loan striker, Mason Greenwood, and the other two red cards were given to players Latasa and Damian Suarez. Of course, with Getafe missing three players, they were unable to respond and didn't even manage a single shot on target at Vallecano's goal. On the other hand, Vallecano's goals were scored by Sergio Camello in the 45th + 1st minute and 47th minute.

The results of this match meant that Getafe had to be satisfied and remained in eighth place with 26 points in the standings, behind Real Betis in seventh place with 28 points, and Rayo Vallecano rose to eleventh place with a collection of 23 points.

Real Sociedad is probably going to lose the match. It was unimaginable for me to see such a poor performance from them today. I wanted to watch the match live today to see Real Sociedad's dominance. But this group completely disappointed me.
Their performance in the first half was not as good as expected. After Remiro's red card, it was very difficult to perform with 10 players. Naturally, Real Sociedad's performance was poor in the second half as well. And in the 76th minute of the match, Luis Rioja scored from the penalty spot to give Alaves the lead. Alaves will probably win the match 1-0.

Although Getafe is in a better position than Rayo Vallecano but yes, at least Getafe is also not always lucky when playing Rayo Vallecano. Because, based on head to head records at least Rayo Vallecano is also still better than Getafe. Also, so far this season at least Rayo Vallecano has a good record also for away matches, moreover this match is played at a neutral location so yes, I think it's natural that Rayo Vallecano managed to beat Getafe.

Although Getafe got 3 red cards but still, Rayo Vallecano managed to score a goal when Getafe was still playing with 10 players. Because yes, no goals were scored after Getafe got 2 red cards in the second half Therefore, it is basically still difficult for Getafe to beat Rayo Vallecano, and a better position in the standings is not completely guaranteed.

The red card thwarted Getafe's entire plans in this match, and what was worse was that they had to lose 3 players due to red cards in 1 match. I think things would have been very different if Getafe didn't get that red card, but today Rayo Vallecano deserved to celebrate their victory even against 8 Getafe players.

Rayo Vallecano basically often surprises in several matches, they have even managed to thwart Barcelona's plans to win in the last few seasons. It was a lucky day for Getafe, but they also tried hard to win.

we can not really say that Getafe is better than Rayo Vallecano clearly. And this has been proven after Rayo Vallecano has defeated them today 2-0 even after that red card. Getafe had an advantage since it was their home game but they messed it up. But what is shocking to me is that Getafe got 3 red cards. It is quite embarrassing actually.

Rayo Vallecano were better than them in everywhere it mattered. Better expected goals, ball possession, shots on target, etc. Getafe did not really have 1 shot on target. So we can say that Rayo Vallecano actually dominated Getafe. I was not expecting this much domination but it is bound to happen when 3 of your players get red cards unnecessarily.

We are currently in first game of 2024 for La Liga which is playing between Getafe vs Royal Vallecano after the end of first have we have one goal from the Royal Vallecano which is scored in injury time by Camello as after having red card in 40th minute now Getafe is playing with 10 players and things are looking no ideal for them as they were doing good before break but 2024 is having troubling start for them even both teams are level in performance but now this red card and goal is surely going to have impact on Getafe which needs to be more aggressive into second half if they want to fight back.

Getafe home performance is very good, and they need to be more aggressive and realistic about their second half if they want to stay at the good spot for the remaining time of the season, which is surely not easy with few teams are trying to have better spot with their consistency and performance.

The first La Liga game for the seasons second half just finished minutes ago and we had the first win from Rayo Vallecano over Getafe. They seemed to be the better side even though they're below the host on the league table. The 3points from the game with a clean sheet goal margin has added their push. It was expected that Getafe would be the better side, they were the host, they're ahead on the table and they had every reason to perform better than their opponent.

 Well the game is finished and we're onto the next game for the league as well. We'd see how much fight Alaves can put up against Real Sociedad who are a stronger side to them. Maybe another clean sheet is looming or maybe Alaves would at least strive to net a goal successfully. At this time, everyone is struggling hard to find a solid and right space on the table and they won't be friendly aas they were in the season's first half.

In the game between Barcelona and Almería, the performance of João Félix was weak enough to make Xavi not use this player in the best squad in the game against Las Palmas.

Joao Felix performance might look bad recently that was why Xavi had to bench him in the match against Las Palmas but we can’t deny the fact of the contribution that Joao Felix have contributed to Barcelona since he joined the club on loan. His love for the club really improved his performance and this player should be a good player for Barcelona to keep as a permanent player. His recent weak performance is normal and it can happen to any player but that does not mean they should forget when he was still playing the best games for them. No need to slam this player because I am sure he will come back stronger than before after this moments of weak performance.

I would blame the referee for ruining plans and hope for the hosts, got issued with 2 red cards, how will they be able to cope with 2 man down? Pretty bad and discouraging to see them play match. Jorge Figueroa didn't make any improvements, rather he was strict and didn't issue out any fairness for home side, he would have atleast pity Getafe and gave Mason Greenwood who's their key man in the frontline red card for argument, we know how aggressive these players can be, the referee would have just overlook certain actions. However the deed have been done and there's certainly nothing to be done. A really tough and rough match for the home team. Getafe lost 2-0 to Rayo Vallecano.

As for the Barcelona team, I don't see anything wrong with them because I think their performance will secure a spot in the champion league the following season.

In my opinion, there is no weak game against Joao Felix is just that sometimes he can't enjoy some matches and you'll think his performances are weak when Felix first arrived at Barcelona, everyone said he was doing well, and I believe Barcelona wants to make Felix a permanent transfer with cancelo, if you look at the matches Felix didn't play, you'll see Barcelona will not win, unless they draw. Barcelona's concern is that Xavi needs to sign another striker before the transfer window ends. And they have a match against Palmas this week, which I believe will be a cheap game for them because Palmas are not really talented enough to compete with Barcelona in the league, but if Palmas defeats Barcelona i will say xavi did not deserve to be a coach for the club. Since Girona upset Barcelona, the teams are no longer comparable they are disoriented and cannot compete with Real Madrid this season but since the league is not over, I believe they can regain their true form and win the laliga title .

Felix's performance is unstable, it looks like he is returning to his performance when he was at Chelsea, very bad. Much different from when he first came to Barcelona, his performance was praised by many parties. Because in reality Felix only wanted to play at Barcelona, and after realizing his dream of joining Barca, he really enjoyed playing at Barcelona and since his debut with Barcelona, his face looked happy, this indicated that Felix was happy with Barcelona. But unfortunately now he is not included in the main team against Las Palmas because his performance has decreased.

If we're honest, Felix is actually not the player that Xavi really wants, but Laporta's dream player since 2021 has been planned. However, due to the financial failure inherited by the previous president, Laporta was able to take advantage of this opportunity. In fact, Barcelona is said to be the club in the UCL with the lowest player transfer spending this season. Laporta should be the next president of Barcelona like Florentino in Madrid, but unfortunately Barcelona has to change president every 5 years.

In the game between Barcelona and Almería, the performance of João Félix was weak enough to make Xavi not use this player in the best squad in the game against Las Palmas.

Xavi gave Felix the first half, but at the beginning of the second half he decided to replace him with Torres, however, Torres was not remembered for anything outstanding. If a coach gives a player the opportunity to play from the first minutes of the match, it means he trusts him and gives him a chance, how the player takes advantage of this chance depends only on him.

Girona will play Atlético Madrid tomorrow, and although it will be a home match, it will be another difficult test for Girona, after a difficult match with Betis. This will be another match that could be make or break for Girona, if they lose and give Real a chance to pull away then things could change for them soon.

Joao Felix is really struggling in the La Liga. He has been given chances after chances but he cannot be seen to do things right. Barcelona have match against Las Palmas coming up and they better win tomorrow. They are already falling behind in the top 4 race and are only 3 points ahead of the 5th placed team. Now what they need to do is start winning the matches does not matter how.

The Atletico Madrid and Girona match will be what I will be looking forward to tomorrow. The match is going to be super hype. What I will be looking forward to is how Girona will react to their first place getting snatched away by Real Madrid. If they can keep the consistency, it is good. But if they cannot due to their morale being down, it is not good.

The early red card in the first half of the game was what prompted the poor performance of Real socidad at some point in today's game, earlier at the early minutes of the first half they had a better possession and even more of the goal attempts and we're doing much more better than slaves , they literally dominated the first 20 minutes of the first half

Alaves couldn't even get a.goal regardless of the red card socidad had already which could mean socidad was a better side regardless they were only unlucky and had a bad day. I must commend socidad for the draw they had even with a man down, I'm very sure they would have won if not for the red card, Alves only goal came as a result of a penalty kick. The game was a balanced one at some point but then I still see real socidad as my favorite in the game, although the goal came at the last minutes of the game but socidad was able to secure a point and are currently at the sixth position with 32 points, it's possible they can make it to top four before the end of the season.

The red card of Remiro, the goalkeeper of Real Socidad, at the 36 minute of the game made everything harder for the team. It affected directly the strategy of the team. I call it the worst red card to be taken, the team lose their goalkeeper in addition to another player which will be substituted by the other goalkeeper and it is their striker Silva that went out to let Marrero join..
In this game, Real Sociedad were lucky to take a point at the last moments of the match, they were very close to lose it although they made more attempts to score, more than what Alaves did.

Valencia 3 - 1 Villarreal. Villarreal record isn't good at all this season.. They are trying to cope with Valencia but the latter made more serious attacks and they got 2 penalties, so it is obvious why they are leading and eventually winning.
