La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[piebeyb]

Arda Guller himself was quite good at starting the match against a club that certainly did not match the quality of Madrid players. Now we just need to see whether Arda Guller will start to be included by Ancelotti in the main squad for bigger competitions like La Liga, because that is the only challenge for Arda Guller to develop further with the real game.

Yes, he should play more on the field with Madrid's main squad because that will give him the opportunity to adapt to playing better than what Ancelotti expected. I see him looking quite good, it's just that it takes time for him to adapt and develop even better, competition of course very tight so he has to show the quality of his game so that Ancelotti uses him in the main squad.

I think it can't be too fast for a player to adapt quickly on the field with the main squad players, especially since he is a young player whose playing hours are certainly less than other star and professional players, making it easier for him to adapt quickly. Guller is a young player that Madrid has. Of course, if Madrid can make him a great player, it will definitely be an advantage for Madrid because they bought him.

The last team in the points table is Almeria. I don't see any chance of Girona dropping points in this match unless Girona are very unlucky. Girona won 4-3 against Atletico Madrid in the last match of La Liga. In the last match, Elche team also beat Girona 2-0. Although the match against Almeria is Girona's away match, Girona team is the favorite in this match.

Girona have played very well since the start of the season. And now the team is second in the table with equal points with Real Madrid. They scored 46 goals in 19 matches. Girona also has the potential to win by a big margin against Almeria. I think Girona will win by at least 2 goals.

Girona four matches later in La Liga

• Almeria
• Sevilla
• Celta Vigo
• Real Sociedad

I don't think Girona will fail get three points with four teams above and potential keep pressure Madrid on first standings position, behind top teams such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid success defeat and I sure four mediocre teams above seems not much problem for Girona keep get three points on every match. Likely the same with Real Madrid will not face difficult opponent team on four matches later except against Atletico Madrid, crucial between Girona and Madrid will face on early February and both team has chance who will lead top standings position.

I would not say it was a warm-up match for him. I know that you didn't mean in that way, but some people could understand it that way. The pressure has been building massively and Ancelotti made the right decision to slowly help him to get accustomed with that pressure and this game was a good opportunity to do that. But Ancelotti decided to rotate a lot of players, which I think can be both positive and negative when you are trying to integrate young talents into the team.

Ancelotti experimented with his squad in today's match. He probably tried to understand the potential of the young players in his squad. Arda Guler performed well today. However, he could not score or assist. However, the performance of young player Nicolas Paz was not good enough. Naturally experienced Brahim Diaz and Joselu played well enough. We also saw good performances from Camavinga and Ceballos. However, my focus was on Guler's performance in today's match. Arda Guler is expected to become a regular player in the Madrid squad.

Ye but there is always a little bit of risk if there is too much rotation. There were already a few surprises this season when big clubs tried to rotate a lot in less important games against inferior teams and then the favorites got smashed because of their rotation. Depending on the competition we are talking about, I think getting eliminated from a competition only because rotation was too much is not a good result of an experiment. If there is a lot of rotation, you still want the team to win and have an experience of success. I think that is what creates the maximum benefit for everyone.

Valencia lost the first half with a goal in the 4th minute.Valencia made good use of their opponent being down to 10 men and started to put the pressure on them in the second half.Valencia won the match with a goal in extra time in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw in normal time. To be honest, I didn't expect them to have so much difficulty because Valencia's squad quality is much higher than their opponent.The opponent is at the bottom of the 2nd division and I didn't think they would attach much importance to the cup match.We can say that they gave Valencia a hard time when they should aim to stay in the league.

Girona four matches later in La Liga

• Almeria
• Sevilla
• Celta Vigo
• Real Sociedad

I don't think Girona will fail get three points with four teams above and potential keep pressure Madrid on first standings position, behind top teams such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid success defeat and I sure four mediocre teams above seems not much problem for Girona keep get three points on every match. Likely the same with Real Madrid will not face difficult opponent team on four matches later except against Atletico Madrid, crucial between Girona and Madrid will face on early February and both team has chance who will lead top standings position.

Pretty good fixtures they can sure manuever with. I'm only worried about the Real Sociedad game. They're the only club that can challenge Girona for the full three points.

Sevilla have not been in a good form even with the appointment of a new coach. Both Celta Vigo and Almeria are games they can easily win. They have a good form against clubs who are below tenth position.

Mason Greenwood had got to be my Copa del Rey player of the week, he was very dangerous and caused havoc against Espanyol. I don't if Manchester United are considering returning him back to the club.

[Jossque]

I thought Arda güler's first Real Madrid game was superb.Of course the opponent he played against was easy, but I think we can say that he did not stand out among the players.Arda is protected by Ancelotti, but it would be better for him to get more playing time.If he tries to do it directly in cup matches without adapting in the league, he may fall behind in some things.We are aware of his game intelligence and talent, of course, but it should not be forgotten that he is a footballer who needs constant time for the game so that it does not atrophy.

In cup matches, at such early stages, the coach most often gives key players of the main squad a rest and weaker opponents try to take advantage of this. But you are right, considering that Valencia had an advantage throughout the second half, they should have decided the outcome of this match in their favor without extra time.

The match for Barcelona was also not easy, although they did not have to win back, but to prevent this, Xavi used Gundogan and Lewandowski at the end of the match, so cup matches are not always as easy as it seems at first glance.

You are right about the resting side, but the home team should also do that.When we look at the home team's situation in the league, we have to say that they are in a troubled situation and in the relegation pot.They should not focus too much on the cup match.Valencia should have finished the match before extra time. Especially after their opponent was reduced to 10 men, both teams could have made good use of this and not taken extra time.Although cup matches are usually matches where teams use their substitutes, they can also have the chance to try some of their tactics in these matches.It's all about how they use it and it's up to the teams to make it harder or easier.

[Warkop]

Girona will gets easy opponent this weekend that they will playing at Almeria home ground and in Laliga i have to says Almeria's chance to stay in Laliga is completely closed this because among all teams in this league only Almeria who still struggle to gets their first winning this season and with collect 5 points from 19 matches i think it's impossible for Almeria to bounce back and survive in Laliga so obviously at the end of season Almeria will return to segunda division

We all know Girona was in the good shape because they almost gets the winning results for each matches and they also has successfully to beat several strong teams this season and the latest is Girona can win from Atletico Madrid so beating Almeria should't be a big problem for them and if we see based on head to head statistics Girona can able to beat Almeria with big scores several times and from this match too i am quite confident Girona can win with 2 goals margin or more besides that Almeria defense also very weak because so far they have already conceded 43 goals in Laliga

If Girona's performance can remain as it was in the previous match, then we can predict Girona's victory in that match. Almeria will definitely have great difficulty in this match even though they are the hosts of the match. Because Girona this season has really become a different club to the previous season. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have even suffered defeats against Girona. So it feels like Almeria will even have difficulty achieving a draw. Girona will most likely score more than 2 goals in this match.

Seeing Almeria this season is a little sad. In fact, they have never gotten full points this season. This is different from Girona, which has an good record this season. And only had 1 defeat in 19 matches this season. Girona's record even matches Real Madrid's record this season.

I am sure Girona's performance will remain the same and will continue to perform very well like the previous match, Girona will definitely win this match. Yes, it is true that Almeria will not be able to do anything to put pressure on Girona's back line, because Girona will definitely play very aggressively to attack continuously and put dangerous pressure on Almeria's goal to win this match.

In my opinion, Almeria is not strong enough to be in Serie A, because their rivals look very tough and Almeria's performance is also very bad and they have not been able to appear consistently in the several matches they have played this season. In stark contrast to Girona's performance this season, Girona is able to compete with big teams that have a good history and also have great players such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. It seems that Michel has succeeded in providing effective tactics and strategies to compete against big teams in La Liga and brought his squad to second place at the top of the standings this season.

But you are bringing this up here, all these players getting a rest can bring teams into serious trouble. It is unbelievable that Barbastro was able to stay so close and only one goal difference against Barcelona until the last minute. That should not happen. But it is typical for Xavi, who is one of the weakest coaches in La Liga, but got lucky that he was allowed to get the trainer position in Barcelona. Lewandowski is not to blame, Xavi is their biggest problem.

Las Palmas is also out because they didn't take their opponent seriously enough. It's striking how all these first league clubs run into trouble because they are arrogantly going into these games and don't take the challenge seriously.

Xabi knew that when it was difficult for them to win, he would use Lewandowski and that proved to be successful because Lewandowksi was able to score 1 goal which made Barcelona the winner in this match. Even xavi also played some of the youngest players they have but it was difficult for them in this match because there was no perfect completion of the attacks they built. Even though the opponents are quite weak, to beat them, Xavi has to field his main players.

Of course it's true that big teams will play second layer players to test their quality. But in this match I didn't see Lamine Yamal even though if Lamine Yamal participated in this match of course he would be the starter of this match. Apart from that, this victory made Barcelona move on to the next round.

[topbitcoin]

He's a player who's giving his all for the Barcelona club even if all hasn't gone well though, he still has a high work rate this season for the games he has started and has come from the bench press.
Returning to Atletico Madrid is not a good idea for him, so even if it takes him another long season loan with Barcelona I believe, he'll accept a pay cut to play for Barcelona at the end of the day.

His love for the Barcelona club really makes him enthusiastic about playing various match with more time for himself compared to Atletico Madrid which doesn't give him time to play and it seems that Joao Felix is not very comfortable with his original club, even though he got a salary cut at Barcelona, but thats not the case it is not a big problem because he just wants to give his best contribution and continue playing for his favorited club, but I doubt whether Atletico Madrid is willing to negotiate with Barcelona knowing that Barcelona is their arch rival in LaLiga so Atletico Madrid will still set the price that Atletico Madrid sets at the price which has been agreed.

If Barcelona wants to make him permanent then Xavi has to sell players to buy him but who is that player because so far Barcelona is experiencing an injury crisis so they can only sell players who can be sold to be able to buy Joao Felix.

Joao Felix contract at Atletico expires in 2029 and Felix current value is around 40 million so even if there is an agreement on the salary issue the reason for the salary cut is not always the reason for Barcelon a to minimize their desire to bring in player but not too concerned about the cash flow they face.
Last season they were still cutting transfer fee for players so Xavi tried to make some move by looking for free players and loan player even though they were still in profit due to winning La Liga  but they still cut their budget.

Now the situation hasn't changed i think because even though they are a big club they will still have trouble spending 40 million directly in the current condition unless there is a relief from Atletico such as the fraudulent scheme that Atletico always  does to Barcelona for several players such as Griezmann and Suarez.
 

[Velvet78]

Xavi's job is really difficult this season. In the La Liga they need to fight not only Real Madrid but also Girona for the title. How successful are they about that? Not great honestly. They need to win more games consecutively to prevent the gap from getting bigger at least. Because neither Girona nor Real Madrid lose points easily these days.

It is a shame that Barcelona don't have a stronger team play compared to Girona. There is a big quality gap when it comes to players but we can't see Barcelona showing this clearly. Xavi wouldn't get sacked this season probably but he would be expected to improve to be able stay here a couple of more years.

But you are right, considering that Valencia had an advantage throughout the second half, they should have decided the outcome of this match in their favor without extra time.

Yes, that's true, the coach will definitely secure several important players to avoid the risk of injury because the season is still long and the Laliga competition remains Valencia's priority. In my opinion, if a team is not able to perform optimally and loses against a weak team, the coach will definitely take out these important players to help. like Sergi Canòz and Gayà who were able to score goals and help the Valencia team win until Valencia finally came home with victory.
Indeed, in this match Valencia seemed to be having difficulties even though the opposing team only played with 10 people because the main players chosen by the coach were unable to create opportunities and only then could the substitute players provide more resistance.

Xavi wouldn't get sacked this season probably but he would be expected to improve to be able stay here a couple of more years.  

It must be admitted that Barcelona is not doing well at the moment, there are many factors that have caused the performance of Xavi fleet to experience a shake-up this season. Player injuries are one of the causes, and the decline in striker Lewandowski sharpness is also included. There is hope that in the second half of the season the Blaugrana can appear consistent so that they have the opportunity to close the gap with Madrid and Girona.

The impressive performance of Madrid and Girona makes it difficult for Barcelona to defend the title, and another threat comes from Bilbao, which has a big chance of overtaking their position if they do not perform optimally. Xavi must immediately find the best solution to make his squad solid again, the challenges they face in the future are very difficult, especially if the UCL rolls around again.

Barcelona management should not think about firing Xavi, because they have to prepare compensation if they do. They have difficulty even recruiting players, firing Xavi is a disaster that must be avoided. To be honest, not many coaches are patient with the financial crisis, because it certainly hinders the manager steps in building a squad to be able to compete for trophies.

[Blitzboy]

`beat them.

Real Madrid has always been good at adopting talented young players. As if they could see the potential of this young player from the start. Losing Benzema was also not a problem for Real Madrid because his position was successfully covered by Vini Jr and Bellingham. Now we can also hope for the presence of A. Guler as a potential future great player at Real Madrid. The debut in the Real Madrid vs Arandina match in the Copa Del Rey was also an extraordinary debut for A. Guler. He was given quite a lot of time, namely he played from the beginning of the first half to the middle of the second half. Even though he didn't score. But its appearance is quite striking.

Now I wonder if A.Guler will also play in the Semi final match of the Spanish Super Cup. Because if he plays again then I think he can contribute more. It's just that this match will be more difficult because the opponent they face is Atletico Madrid. I think if Ancelotti plays Arda Guler then maybe it will only at the end of the match if Real Madrid is already in a safe position in that match.

I agree. Like they can see future stars with a sixth sense. Their technique of mixing veterans with young players like A. Guler is impressive. Im hesitant about Guler participating in the Spanish Super Cup Semi-final. He did well against Arandina, but Atletico Madrid is different. If Real Madrid has a comfortable lead, Ancelotti may play it safe and substitute Guler. I trust in Guler's talent, but such a high-stakes game could be overwhelming for a rookie player.

I think Real Madrid's strength is their player selection and planned team rotations. Their management of Benzema's absence shows their ability to prevent over-reliance on key players. Stepping up against Atletico Madrid demands ability and expertise. Guler deserves more playing time, but introducing him gradually in high-pressure contests may be better

[QueenVera]

Yeah Girona won't waste any time they will take advantage of moments like this, I mean easy moments to get 3 points because they are in a race with Real Madrid and there's no time to waste opportunities. Currently Real Madrid and Girona have the same points this means that one mistake can have an impact on their position in the standings, obviously they don't want that to happen therefore each team will do whatever they can.

On the other hand, Almeria has no hope of surviving in La Liga it has been predicted that Almeria will be the first team to be relegated this season from 19 matches they only collected 5 points so there is no way to get out of this situation while the other 2 teams cannot be confirmed whether cadiz, granada or other teams because based on points at least 5 clubs have close points Sevilla is one of them and only 1-3 points adrift.

Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona even Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Barcelona because Barcelona is also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Barcelona's home. The most surprising part for me was that Girona actually defeated Barcelona.

 But in my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience. even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. but I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.

[Slow death]

The match for Barcelona was also not easy, although they did not have to win back, but to prevent this, Xavi used Gundogan and Lewandowski at the end of the match, so cup matches are not always as easy as it seems at first glance.

the truth is that barcelona has become a joke, let's look at the case of real madrid in the cup del rey game, real madrid played against a very weak opponent and the real madrid coach chose to rotate the team, look at the players who were initials in the real madrid game:



For this game, Real Madrid's coach chose to play with 50% of the power that Real Madrid has, and it was enough for Real Madrid to win comfortably and only conceded 1 goal, which was an own goal. which clearly showed that real madrid was good in attack and defense, this shows the great quality that real madrid has in its squad. they hardly fall with the departure of any player, when ronaldo, cristiano ronaldo, zidane, roberto carlos, raul, casillas, luis figo, kaka, sergio ramos, karin benzema left real madrid, real madrid didn't fall, it remained very strong even with With the departure of each of the best players each year, Real Madrid always found a way to put another good player in the spotlight

Now look at the case of Barcelona:



They played with 50% of their strength and even so it was not enough to comfortably beat an extremely weak team that is in the lower league, in that game Barcelona had great difficulties scoring goals, it is true that they managed to score 3 goals, but They could have scored more goals, in defense they failed, conceding 2 goals. I believe that even if Barcelona were playing with 100% of their strength, they would still have conceded goals in that game and it would have been a game with the same result. In my opinion, Barcelona needs more changes, some players have a very different style of play than others, the team has not been in sync with certain players.

Girona will gets easy opponent this weekend that they will playing at Almeria home ground and in Laliga i have to says Almeria's chance to stay in Laliga is completely closed this because among all teams in this league only Almeria who still struggle to gets their first winning this season and with collect 5 points from 19 matches i think it's impossible for Almeria to bounce back and survive in Laliga so obviously at the end of season Almeria will return to segunda division

It will be another ez game for girona. The club is still on fire and it's ready to beat any opponent that will come soon. Im still concerning about the fact that if girona may not be playing seriously against almeria soon. Girona got pretty good odds in this match as it was getting 1.63 compared to the almeria. Yeah this is a very good odds for girona and im really sure that girona can win against almeria. This is a worthy match to risking our money to get decent reward caused by girona will be winning the game easily against almeria.

Im not feeling doubt anymore with the performance if girona after it was beating atletico madrid and barcelona known as the strongest teams in la liga after real madrid. So, i think that girona will be winning with huge margins even though it may be also conceding 1 or two goals.
Total over was also offering very good odds for 3 but the risk is quite high to pick over 3. Girona can also win with narrow score against almeria as long as it will be performing consistently defensive against girona.

People know so well how bad almeria is right now. I have no doubt that girona to win the game against almeria and three points can be secure easily from almeria. Girona needs to keep its focus on how to get la liga this season from real madrid.
Even though this was the most difficult mission to be completed but girona can dot hat.

[naira]

I am sure Girona's performance will remain the same and will continue to perform very well like the previous match, Girona will definitely win this match. Yes, it is true that Almeria will not be able to do anything to put pressure on Girona's back line, because Girona will definitely play very aggressively to attack continuously and put dangerous pressure on Almeria's goal to win this match.

In my opinion, Almeria is not strong enough to be in Serie A, because their rivals look very tough and Almeria's performance is also very bad and they have not been able to appear consistently in the several matches they have played this season.

It seems that Michel has succeeded in providing effective tactics and strategies to compete against big teams in La Liga and brought his squad to second place at the top of the standings this season.

I can confidently say that Girona is increasingly difficult to stop, their ambition for the end of the season is to have prepared everything to match their initial target namely to provide a new atmosphere in La Liga. So it doesn't matter if Girona or Madrid win the trophy later because both of them have the right to fight for the top position according to their current quality. Girona will face Almeria this weekend, coach Michel always tries not to underestimate his opponent. Almeria is not considered a threat but Girona will remain focused on taking advantage of the opportunities that exist. Because Almeria is one of Girona routes to balance Madrid at the top of the standings.
