La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[rendravolt]

What happened to Barcelona? they are one goal behind Villarreal and I think their chances of winning at home are slipping away. I didn't expect against Villarreal to be this difficult for them and if Barcelona lose then they will be even further behind Girona and Real Madrid. It seems that Alejandro Balde's absence due to injury also had quite an impact on Barcelona's defense and I think Xavi also failed to implement a new strategy for his players.

Villarreal played very well and they were not afraid even once even though they were playing in front of their home fans and were able to break through with two goals first. Barcelona's mistakes are still repeated and they are still one of the teams with the highest goals conceded. There are still around 20 minutes left and that's quite a long time to equalize the score or even make a comeback. Could Barcelona lose? Moreover, they must be prepared to endure embarrassment in front of their fans.

Yes, of course Barcelona will not waste tonight's match, at least to reduce the point difference in the standings, it is indeed a bit difficult to catch 2 teams above them whose point difference is quite large. Yes, of course, with Villarreal's poor performance, Barcelona should be able to take full points in front of its own supporters. But you also need to be careful not to be too careless and Villarreal could steal a goal at the start of the match. As expected, the goal occurred in the first half

Barcelona had already conceded one goal in the first half and even if Moreno's first goal had not been canceled then Barcelona would have conceded two goals. Even though there is still quite a long time left in the match, Barcelona is having difficulty finding opportunities to score because Villareal's defense is still quite good.
Statistics show Barcelona's dominant control of the match but Villareal can take advantage of opportunities to score goals. Xavi must try to give instructions to his players in finishing and they must also make a solid defense if they want to equalize or win the match in the second half.

With the way the match is going, I don't think Barcelona will lose the match. Villareal is seriously under pressure with many goals being missed by Barcelona. Ferran's miss being the most painful to Xavi, their pressured coach.  Coming from two goals down to make it two goals to one is enough morale booster for Barcelona.

Now Barcelona have equalized while I was typing, Pedri just scored a fantastic goal that just changed everything. If Barcelona maintains this pressure,  they will win the match.

[Pesona1]

Barcelona trailed 1-0 at the end of the first half. Barcelona had 72% of the ball. Barcelona players are dominating the match. But despite attacking a lot, they are unable to score any goals. Barcelona will probably lose today's match as well. Barcelona has no chance of winning the title this season.

Barcelona possession of the ball is quite troublesome for Villareal and Villareal players even prefer to concentrate on their defense by occasionally counterattacking, currently Barcelona is 1-2 behind Villareal and I think it's time for Barcelona to do a lot of experiments shot from outside the penalty box rather than driving the ball to the front of the goal, even though they controlled the ball almost 72% but to be honest Villareal were still more effective when they attacked, with only 4 attempts made by Villareal they were actually able to create 3 on target against Barcelona, ​​when I Writing this post, Barcelona managed to score 2 more goals through Pedri and 1 own goal from Baili which ultimately allowed Barcelona to make a comeback with a score of 3-2. Meanwhile, the game has almost entered the 80th minute and let's see if Barcelona is able to maintain its victory today or nothing.

Barcelona managed to comeback very effectively because they were 2 goals behind. By trying to get out of the pressure until Gundogan goal revived the mentality of the Barcelona players. Pedri return to the Line Up immediately stepped on the gas to score a goal after recovering from injury. For Xavi this is a big victory because he managed to take points away from Atletico Bilbao and has hopes of joining Madrid and Girona in the title hunt.

On the other hand, Madrid victory took him to the top of the standings until we see the results of Girona against Celta Vigo, whether they will be taken over again with the full 3 points or whether we will get a surprise.

Barcelona made a great comeback after going 2-0 down. We have seen such a great comeback from Barcelona after a long time. After going down 2-0 I thought Barcelona were going to lose this match too. But at the end of 80 minutes, Barcelona are now leading 3-2.

Villarreal took a 2-0 lead after Gerard Moreno scored in the 54th minute. But Gundogan scored the first goal for Barcelona in the 60th minute after only 6 minutes. However, in the 68th minute, Pedri scored the second goal to equalize the match. Bailly made a mistake in the 71st minute and  gave Barcelona a 3-2 lead. But there are still 10 minutes left. It cannot be said for sure whether Barcelona will win. There is also a possibility of a 3-3 draw in the match.

[Velvet78]

What is happening in the Barcelona - Villarreal game?? I really can't believe my eyes. 

First a 2-0 disadvantage against Villarreal after that a comeback by Barcelona to 3-2. But this was just the beginning. Villarreal answered with an insane comeback right after that to win the game by 5-3... This is just a huge embarrassment for Barcelona that's for sure. Xavi has already been criticised and people will increase the critism level even more after this terrible result.

[HajiBagi]

Real Madrid will find it difficult to win this match, currently there are only around 15 minutes left before the match ends and the score is still Las Palmas 1 - 1 Real Madrid. For me, there's no need for Real Madrid to win, the current score is more than enough. Let's see what will happen next.

Real won this match, it was not an easy match, but they did it. When Real conceded a goal, it was obvious that they would force the game to win, and in this case there was almost no doubt that Real would not lose, but whether they could win I doubted. Las Palmas' defense is very reliable (the second best defense in La Liga after Real Madrid) and if they could play as well as they can, Real could have problems.

One thing I want us to be understand if real Madrid is playing is that if the match have not end we should not decide that real Madrid will not win the match, real Madrid is a team that always play with miracle and evey time they find a way to win their matches, Las Palmas is winning real Madrid from the beginning after they return from the second half and before the game end real Madrid score back and win the game by ending 2-1, I always believed in real Madrid whenever they are playing and that's why they keep remain my favorite team.

But I understand something today that real Madrid match today, the absent of Jude Bellingham change the match today because the middle position look somehow, I don't understand the way the middle player's play today, and I believe if Bellingham is in the match the middle position will not be the way it is today, but to be honest Las Palmas really try today because it took real Madrid time to win the match.

[bitvalak]

Real Madrid vs Las palmas Real Madrid team played amazingly in today's match. Although the first half saw plenty of attacking play between the two teams, neither team managed to score a goal. But after half time both teams played superbly, firstly in 53 minutes Las Palmas managed to give Real Madrid a goal, but later Real Madrid team became stronger and started to attack brilliantly which brought the game to a tie. Although the game was very tight, but in the 84th minute of the game, Real Madrid took the lead by blocking the ball in the goal net of another opposition team, and at this moment the game was almost over and Real Madrid won a great victory. Today's match was held at Las palmas home ground due to which they played superbly and attacked well against Real Madrid and had the most possession. However, Real Madrid have overtaken Girona in La Liga at the moment and moved to the top spot. Real Madrid scored a remarkable 2-1 win over Las Palmas and moved to the top of the points table with 54 points and today's game was really interesting.

Once again Real Madrid is making a comeback, how many times have they made a comeback in La Liga when they were behind by a goal.
I don't think this is just luck, it is clear that every player has high motivation to win the match.
Congratulations to Real Madrid who can still maintain a points gap with Girona for the race for the top of the La Liga standings.

At almost the same time Barcelona also managed to make a comeback against Villareal.
The final result was good but unfortunately it was a little tarnished because Villareal's goal was disallowed by the referee because it was considered offside. Even though the player did not touch the ball at all.

[Belarge]

Defeats happens when a club doesn't stand strong enough to defend their territory and holding up to their lead, what happen to Barcelona was purely defensive errors and Villarreal never back down from converting their chances to goal scoring. The final whistle is blown and the game ends 5-3 in favour of the visitors. Villarreal came prepared and hold Barcelona down as if they're mates. Xavi Hernandez is really dissapointed with his team's performance, really sad to watch Barcelona conceding a whole of 5 goals. A good starting for Villarreal to take spectacular winning without struggles.

This is really a big disgrace for Barcelona to lose against Villarreal, I don't expect this should happen even though Barcelona are not in form, winning Barcelona 5-3 in Spotify Camp Nou was actually bad record for a popular club like Barcelon, this alone show how bad Xavi is which I suggest they should find a place for him, if Atletico Madrid can win their next match definitely Barcelona will move down to fourth place because they will be have the same points but Atlético have more goals than them. The management have to act fast if not the team may not make it to the Champions league next season.

[Xxmodded]

Once again Real Madrid is making a comeback, how many times have they made a comeback in La Liga when they were behind by a goal.
I don't think this is just luck, it is clear that every player has high motivation to win the match.
Congratulations to Real Madrid who can still maintain a points gap with Girona for the race for the top of the La Liga standings.

Another come back for Real Madrid after winning over 1-2 against Las Palmas, its second matches in a row for Real Madrid made come back last match before against Almeria conceded two goals in the first half success return to winning result on last minutes to lead 3-2. Today Las Palmas as second team in this week made comeback by Real Madrid after conceded early success win over 1-2. Three points make Madrid more comfortable on the top position awhile waiting Girona match result against Celta Vigo.

At almost the same time Barcelona also managed to make a comeback against Villareal.
The final result was good but unfortunately it was a little tarnished because Villareal's goal was disallowed by the referee because it was considered offside. Even though the player did not touch the ball at all.

What the excited of this match can scored 8 goals, its bad result for Barcelona losses and conceded 5 goals for the first time in La Liga this season, almost make come back when leading with score 3-2 until 71th minutes but loss focus and made Barcelona get conceded three goals on the last minutes. Becoming two losses in a row for Barcelona after last match defeated by Athletic Bilbao 4-2 and today losses 3-5, wow Barcelona defense too week conceded 9 goals of 2 matches.

hell Barcelona's match against Villarreal was more interesting in the second half than the first
Regardless of the result, I was actually very entertained by today's match because I think it was one of the most interesting matches this week.

An 8-goal drama ensued and the regrettable thing is that Barcelona were hit by a comeback in extra time in this match.
Honestly my hopes were raised especially after Barcelona turned things around when the original score of 0-2 became 3-2 for Barcelona but indeed at the crucial time it seemed like Barcelona lost concentration which actually made them chaotic and actually had problems in 10 minutes of normal time and extra time.
It's a regrettable bet but I'm happy with how many goals there were in today's game.

Xavi has failed again to strengthen Barcelona's position in the standings, Xavi has even failed to make himself strong for the Camp Nou public and there is a chance that his position will be replaced.

[Woodie]

I didn't see any impressive football that Barcelona played in the first half at home, and if they continue this way in the second half, Villa Real might win the match. However, we shouldn't underestimate Barcelona, because they can become deadly in the second half and win all three points.

Barcelona 0-1 Villarreal

Unfortunately Barcelona didn't look hungry enough to complete the comeback and worse off they were at home and the 12th player effect didn't help them either.

But credit should go to Villareal for putting up a brave fight playing away from home and to score five against these big boys..just hope this will be an eye opener for these guys to shake things up to organise the team before they drop more points as they haven't been convincing enough.

[Weawant]

Firstly I would want to talk about how much Barcelona have been conceding goals in almost every match recently and it's really not a good thing to reckon with, even when they win they will first have to concede goals before they will end the game in a victory today they conceded five goals one of the highest they have conceded in a single match this season.

I'm really disappointed at the results of the game between Barcelona and Villarreal, it was okay that they were two goals down a d by the second half they were able to put up a come back and we're leading by a goal what baffles me the most is how they became carefree enough to the point they concede three more goals in the second half after scoring three goals, it was a festival of goals at the second half, literally six goals were scored in the second half and Barcelona ended up Lossing the game after leading earlier which is a clear indication of weakness to me.

Hahah I hated Barcelona, but honestly, today I was so surprised and shocked by how Barcelona played the game against Villarreal that they didn't even stop one single chance from Villarreal. I never saw such a poor performance by a club like Barcelona. The way they defend so poorly and make a lot of mistakes in their defense line. There are a lot of problems in the club, which they need to improve; otherwise, Barcelona will hold itself in the top 5 ranks. So if they didn't hold up the place above the to 5 maybe they could not qualify for the Champions League. But really, guys, Barcelona had the worst performance against Villarreal Although Barcelona have good players, they weren't capable of winning the match. There is a little bit of a mistake from the referee that he didn't give the penalty to Barcelona but Barcelona have lost three point to the club, who are at 14th in the league table.

Barcelona was leading with 1 goal in minute 71'. It was when Eric Bailly made own goal, Barcelona 3 vs 2 Villareal. At this time, Barcelona should have bigger motivation to win. Unfortunately, Goncalo Guedes scored a goal in minute 84' to equalize the score (Barcelona 3 vs 3 Villareal). After this goal, Villareal players have played more confidently, they always tried to have more goals. They finally got 2 goals in injury time, Alexander Sørloth and José Luis Morales added 2 more goals. I don't know why Barcelona defense looks so weak in injury time. Xavi may only focus to order all the players to attack, he forgot to keep watching the attackers of Villareal.

Yes, it is another bad result at home. They are again conceded many goals. It already happened when they played against Girona at home. They were also defeated many goals at that time, 4 conceded goals. Now, it is not only about the problem in attacking line, but Barcelona also has a very serious problem with their defense. It is difficult for Xavi to strengthen the lines because Barcelona has no enough money to buy quality players.

I don't think Xavi needs to be replaced soon. He must be given more times because he is trying to improve Barcelona squad with limited options. We don't care with Camp Nou public, they expect to win 2 top competitions but they are not aware with Barcelona current squad. It is not enough to win UCL or La Liga title with the current squad quality.

This is a very painful blow for Barcelona, being beaten so badly at home. What's more, it is Villareal, who incidentally is not a very strong team this season. Even when we look at the statistical data and track record this season, Villarreal really has a declining performance. However, they actually beat Barcelona at Camp Nou. This certainly makes Xavi even more stressed with this very unexpected result.

even though Barcelona has much better match statistics, more consecutive attacks, more shots on target, but fewer goals. Hmm, this is really a very sharp evaluation for Barcelona. With this, their points with Real Madrid and Girona are even further apart. This will be bad news for quite a long time for Barcelona. We can find various funny and even spicy comments on social media regarding the results of this match.

[bitpotter]

Barcelona is getting funnier and this crushing defeat against Villareal clearly punished them. It can be seen that there were so many mistakes made by the Barcelona defenders that it became easy for the Villareal players to break into the goal. I think Barcelona's big name has been destroyed and they will get worse. There is nothing Xavi can do and I think he must be aware of resigning as Barcelona coach.

The defenders and absence of a proper defensive midfielder all has lead to the damnation of Barcelona and Xavi Hernandez who has decided to leave at the end of the season.
Prayers are that he leaves the club in a good position to finally enable them qualifying for the Champions League Competition next season.

I thought the own goal from former Manchester United defender Eric Bailey would've been enough to help them seal three points but all didn't go as planned. Good decision of Xavi Hernandez to finally resign.
