La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Docnaster]

Barcelona lost to Villarreal today. They conceded 5 goals at home.
This game was a bad defeat for Barcelona. Nobody expected such a result.
Villarreal scored 3 goals after the 84th minute.

Real Madrid managed to win the game 2-1 after falling behind.
They are currently leading the league. There is only 2 points difference between them and Girona.

Looking at the current condition of Barcelona, I feel so pity for the club's manager Xavi Hernandez because the Spaniard have been doing so much to make sure he keeps the club in good form but I doubt he's going to keep the on the top again considering the injury situation at the club. Since the winter transfer window is open, I think the best thing to do at the moment is for the club management to try sign quality players that can be able to help the team finish in the top four of the league table.  

Their embarrassing defeat against Villarreal today further suggests that the club is currently in shambles and if anything isn't done to control the situation, Barcelona might not finish in the top four of the league

[temple]

I have watched Barcelona play in recent games and the performance(s) has been nothing to write home about. For someone who rarely watches the La liga, I've watched Barcelona recent games and that of Madrid and truly, Barcelona is currently a mid-tier team. They've even lost at home on more than one occasion this season. Pathetic.

Here we go, it will be a good chance for Guardiola 2 since he also wants to leave Manchester City before the storm.

Why would guardiola want to leave City only to come back to a mid team like Barcelona? There's so much work to be done at Barcelona and I don't think Guardiola is ready for such challenge yet. He has already done enough at City Even Xavi has recognized that there's a "situation" that needs to be fixed in Barca.

You know, I doubt that many people on this forum think for a second about what they are actually writing. I understand when people desperately seek for some lines to post them here in order to reach a certain post count. Having a good post count is sometimes incentivized, I get that, but I think the least that someone can do is to consider whether what is being typed also makes some sense. Guardiola would never leave Manchester City for Barcelona. It's the biggest nonsense I have read in a while.

"it will be a good chance for Guardiola"

Lol, as if he had ever expressed his desire or as if their was a hidden agenda for Guardiola to come back to a Barcelona that is on the verge of collapse. He has Haaland and all these other amazing players and then one guy here comes up with the genius idea that he could have the inner desire to give all of that up in order to coach Barcelona.

[Rampagoe004]

Initially I tried to be kind to Xavi's performance as a coach. But now I am really disappointed with the strategy used by Xavi for today's Barcelona match. And the Barcelona players also didn't play optimally. How could they have made so many mistakes in that match? Even in several previous matches it was the same.

And the sharpness of Barcelona's attack line is also getting duller. I think it's time for Barcelona to look for a new, better striker. Lewandowski doesn't seem like he was when he was young. Last season he was still able to perform well. But this season Lewandowski's goal productivity has really decreased drastically.

It was beyond my expectations. I never thought Barcelona would lose to Villareal especially with a score like that. Barca really played badly. Xavi couldn't give the fans what they wanted. When the Bacelona board first recruited Xavi as coach I thought it would give positive results for Barca because we know Xavi is one of the greatest Barcelona players in history. So he can return to playing tiki-taka like before. This defeat has finished Barcelona and I am increasingly confident that Madrid will win the La Liga title this season.

[iBaba]

I also agree with you, actually the problem currently being experienced by Barcelona is that Xavi is unable to provide a good strategy for Barcelona, just look at how Leverkusen is currently turning into a great team even though Leverkusen's squad is very low but Alonso is a great coach If he is able to maximize the abilities of the players he trains, Xavi should imitate what Alonso is doing.
In my opinion, Barcelona currently has an extraordinary squad, the current Barcelona squad is one of the best in the world so buying new players would just be a waste of money. I read the news that Xavi still really wants Bernado Silva, Xavi believes that if Silva is in the Barcelona squad then Barcelona's performance will improve this season, I see this as impossible because Silva is still very comfortable in Man City.

I have said this before, and I'm going to mention it here again, that Xavi does not have that capacity to be able to deliver Barcelona, not because he doesn't want to do that. So, every time he's trying to use a strategy to manage the team, it seems like that strategy does not work for him.

He has great players who are very young and want to deliver, but what he doesn't have is enough of experienced players that are playing in the mix of those young players who already have the agility and have the passion to deliver, but they don't have the experience.

Take a good look at how Guardiola is currently managing Manchester City. It's a mix of old players or experienced players and young players. But we have the likes of Kevin de Bruyne is in the match to standardize the game and to put confidence in the players. Then the likes of Halaand who are always ready to score goals as the gold machine to put in goals into the net.

 So when you look reflects to Barcelona. You may have only a very few old players in their midst, or you may only say Lewandowski alone. So Xavi needs to understand some of those things and get the best way he can manage the very strong squad that he has. Leverkusen has also been able to do well in their own regards.

Girona must continue to work hard and still have a solid team to always be able to win every match. Girona this season shows that teams that have just entered La Liga have the opportunity to be at the top of the standings. The difference in points between first and second place is very thin, and Girona must win the next match in order to maintain their position at the top of the standings.

I must attest to the fact that Girona is doing extremely well in this season and all kudos go to the President of the club and then to Michel, who has been a great manager managing these guys so far. But the truth of the matter is the president needs to be appreciated because he's a great guy who is doing great work in both the teams that he has under him.

In them, maybe we can also say that the president is giving the managers a listening ear in terms of the chemistry of players they need to play in the league and maybe that's why they've been achieving mastery in their games. Great work, Girona.

[TopT3ns]

We still can't confirm who will be the champion, we have only run 14 matches out of 38 matches until the end of the season, it's too early to believe that Madrid lost to Barca in the hunt for the La Liga trophy this season

the season will start again next year, if nothing changes then madrid will continue to annoy barca at the top, hopefully barca doesn't make mistakes because both (madrid and barca) have only lost 1 time

If it still cannot be determined who will be the winner, then that is not true because currently the difference in points in the standings between Barcelona and Real Madrid is very far, and it feels like Barcelona will not be able to catch up on the points they are left behind. Barcelona's performance is no longer very good. Even last night's match against Barcelona had to lose badly against Villarrel, who should have been an easy team to beat for Barcelona. With this defeat, I see that there is no longer any hope in Barcelona.

Maybe this is just the hope of some parties who are quite disappointed with Xavi. Even though not only Xavi, but Barcelona is also not doing well. However, this rumor is just a rumor, it could even be called not a rumor because this publication is actually old news.
And even in an interview, when a reporter asked about himself and Klopp, he simply answered like this:

When Guardiola was asked by a reporter if he would see out his contract at Etihad, Guardiola replied: "Do you want to sack me? (With a smile). I’m fine. There’s still one more year, I want to do it – and maybe I will extend."

So in essence Pep will still be at Man City.

Actually, it's quite painful to watch the Barcelona vs Villarreal match. Because we can say that Barcelona is superior in several ways, even its attacks are quite high. But that didn't work to make them win. score 3 - 5, this is a sad result, especially since this has been a defeat several times recently.

[logfiles]

I haven’t seen what happened in the Barcelona-Villarreal game yet, it seems the refereeing was problematic there again, but in any case, 5 goals at the Camp Nou? What? Barcelona has officially been dethroned, now there is only a fight for the top 4.

Technically they are not in their "beloved home ground" as it's still under renovation, so the place is Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. That's why they're getting battered home and away by different teams without any fear.

The recent scorelines really show how they have completely lost that fear factor.

Xavi Hernández: "I want to announce that on June 30 I will no longer continue as the coach at Barça. I think the situation needs to change course, and as a culer, I cannot allow the current situation."

Well, that was bound to happen. I still remember how some Barcelona fans were just daydreamers thinking that Xavi would just turn thing around and bring another tiki taka era to the Catalans  

[asriloni]

playing at home Barcelona lost to Vilareal. this at the same time has declared by itself Barcelona has been released from the Spanish league title race.
But last night's match was quite exciting and interesting, there were many goals in this match with 8 goals scored by both teams. with a final result of 3-5 for Vilareal's victory

Im very happy with this result. It's time for xavi to leave from barcelona soon. Barcelona is shitty club now and it was always performing so badly and there will be no place anymore for xavi in the club. The chance for barcelona to enter the title race is zero right now. Glad to see that villareal was able destroying barcelona.
Barcelona got all the poor results in all the various competitions and this is a bad day for me to see real madrid winning the game while barcelona lose. Im feeling that the best achievement for barcelona this season will be UCL spot. I see no chance for barcelona to compete for the la liga trophy.

Another update from romano regarding the future of xavi in the barcelona https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1751349450264469775

It has been trending on twitter and said that if xavi is going to leave from the club soon. Here's the quote

BREAKING: Xavi Hernández has decided to LEAVE Barcelona at the end of the season.

Xavi think that if he is klopp but klopp is one of best coach has ever existed. Mockery from fans of both Liverpool and Barcelona has begun as a result of his decision to leave the club soon. what a garbage coach and barcelona needs to sign a new coach as soon as possible. I know that this lost against villareal was unacceptable result for the fans.
Barcelona has so many good players but it's still performing to badly.

Thanks for sharing these insightful news. Finally someone who is also providing the source with the post 

I didn't know Guardiola said that, but usually he is not the kind of guy who is playing around with the press and he would rather say "no comment", but here he is clearly playing around with the press explicitly mentioning the possibility that he could extend the contract. I would like it because it would be like the sledgehammer to the football world if all of these players out of a sudden go and retire.

[Weawant]

So he can return to playing tiki-taka like before. This defeat has finished Barcelona and I am increasingly confident that Madrid will win the La Liga title this season.

Such humiliation at home is something Barcelona could have avoided but decided to be careless and ended up in such a huge loss that came in so embarrassing, I taught Barcelona has won the game Already when I saw that they were leading 3-2  because I believed Barcelona was a stronger side and will be able to holed the scores to that win till the end of the game.

I think it's time xavi leaves, his tactics aren't working no more his losses are beginning to .w much and almost unbearable for the team and they are not helping the team anymore as they are not making much progress with such results a d they are not even sure of the champions league next season so it's such a poor result for them , Madrid will definitely win the la Liga this season with just little challenge but then the big one is ahead of them which is the UCL an did think they have got plans to winning that aswell.

Las Palma 1 - 2 Real madrid

As expected from one of the best teams in the world, Real Madrid won the game and remains in first place in the league, I have no doubt that this season we will be champions, I'm just not celebrating yet because Girona, which was supposed to be a team that stays in the positions were from European competitions, this season for some strange reason they are fighting against us in the top position and it would not be wise to celebrate knowing that Girona only has a difference of 2 points in relation to Real Madrid, we need to pray that Girona loses at less 2 games and we won 2 games so that the difference in points in 8 points of advantages we have in relation to Girona, with that we could already celebrate the title

Real Madrid have no other choice they have to win to secure their position and they will not give Girona a chance to go further, last season Real Madrid had missed the title so this season is Real Madrid turn. I didn't watch this match but I saw the statistics and Real Madrid almost made a mistake luckily Real Madrid was able to turn things around in the 65 and 83 minutes. Basically, overall Real Madrid game was less impressive and concede more often, maybe they sometimes underestimate their opponents.

Next month in the first and second weeks Real Madrid will face 2 strong opponents Atletico Madrid on February 5 and Girona on February 11 luckily both of these matches were played at Real Madrid home but even though they are playing at home we know it will not be an easy match especially against Girona who are still fighting to win the title and if Real Madrid loses one of these matches then Girona will be even more confident. Real Madrid is certainly not comfortable with that situation.

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

FC Barcelona even dominated Villareal both in ball possession and goal attempts, but failed to win against Villareal at Camp Nou. If FC Barcelona does not improve their performance and be consistent in winning matches, they will find it difficult to qualify for next year's UEFA Champions League.

[FinePoine0]

WTF? Las Palmas scored a goal in the 53rd minute to take the lead against Real Madrid. It's probably time to bet on Real Madrid:

2.35 - 3.04 - 3.28

Yes, I've done it, but I didn't take the 1X2 bet, cause a handicap is the wisest bet if a strong team is behind .

It is unlikely that in other circumstances you can get a bet higher than 3 when Real Madrid plays. There are more than 30 minutes until the end of the game and I think that they will be able to correct the situation.

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.

A goal from Tchouameni in the 84th minute gave Real Madrid a lead over Las Palmas in La Liga. I was not surprised to see that Real Madrid struggled to win against Las Palmas today. Las Palmas have been in amazing form in La Liga recently, which could give their opponent a tough time. Finally, Real Madrid are leading the La Liga table with 2 points off Girona.

Rodrigo, a very important player in the Real Madrid team, did not perform well enough as he earned a yellow card early on. But the first moments of halftime were very good, with plenty of competition between the two teams. Meanwhile, Las Palmas went ahead by a goal and shocked the Real Madrid players, successive Real Madrid players began to perform better and Vinicius Jr. scored a goal with the magic of his feet to equalize the team. Later on in the end of the match, Real Madrid's young player Aurelien Tchouamene scored another goal with a header to ensure the victory for Real Madrid. Real Madrid team is occupying the first place in the points table at the moment.

[Kristiyana]

But Xavi is no longer confident after Barcelona will not extend his contract, meaning this season is the last for him to train Barcelona.

It is difficult to understand why they lost at home with a big score of course whether there is a lack of confidence while the underdog team is much better than Barcelona if they lose it will be difficult to win the LaLaig title, even if Real Madrid then it is definitely a candidate this season to win the LaLiga trophy.

[Popkon6]

Real Madrid team can win I was sure that Real Madrid team is stronger than Las Palmas team. But there were many competitive moments early in the game and until half-time the performance was fairly even between the two teams as neither team managed to score. Real Madrid were the most attacking side and had 13 shots on goal throughout the game and Las Palmas had 7. Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr. scored a magic goal with his feet to equalize for Real Madrid. Another goal later saw Real Madrid take the win but I see more of an attacking difference here. The Real Madrid team has always been aggressive and the team is on the top of the points table with three points which is marked as the best team of this season.

Barcelona are no longer considered the top club in football especially in La Liga. Real Madrid always go for the winning points, Las Palmas been the first team to net a goal and at the end of the day, an epic comeback was carry out. Carlo Ancelotti knows exactly what he's doing to carry out the big tasks at Santiago Bernabéu stadium, we would be watching the every step of Real Madrid because Carlo Ancelotti have ensure his ways become more clearer with his team and the supporters. Real Madrid is regarded as the King of comeback in La Liga and no longer Barcelona.

[Solokan]

now it seems very difficult to predict the outcome of a match, sometimes a weak team can win against a strong team in the Barcelona vs Villarreal match. I bet on Barcelona winning but my prediction failed.

 Barcelona failing to make it to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey was very unexpected. and now Barcelona has been defeated by the team that is ranked 14th in Laliga, namely Villarreal with a score of 3-5, it seems this will definitely make Barcelona supporters sad and it is a shame that Xavi cannot make Barcelona win because Barcelona is currently the 3th ranked team in Laliga. and last season's champions in Laliga have now been defeated by Villareal.

After Villarreal drew against Mallorca, Villarreal is now happy and I think Villarreal is very great in this match because they managed to beat a team that is strong in Laliga, namely Barcelona. Now Marcelino Garcia Toral has made good progress for his team because they managed to win against Barcelona. and I am sure that now Villarreal will get new enthusiasm because they have succeeded in beating a strong team, namely Barcelona. and I'm sure that in Villarreal's next match against Cadiz, I think Villarreal has the potential to win because if you look at Cadiz's history in his last match he always lost.

La Liga is back on track with Real Madrid at the first position, Girona drop to a second position and with this defeat, Barcelona have to say goodbye to the title they are defending.

Barcelona have two competitors behind, Athletic Club and Athletico Madrid which are ready to kick Barcelona out of top four. Barcelona will have to be careful if they don't want to end this season with nightmare in La Liga. This defeat shows that Barcelona have very weak defense that is harmful for their performances in many matches.

Xavi announced that he will leave when the season ends and I see it as a wise decision from Xavi. He won one La Liga with Barcelona and can not defend it with them in this season. Leaving now will help him to save some sweet memory in Barcelona fans and can avoid a sack.

[reagansimms]

Barcelona was trailing 0-2 in the 54th minute then managed to turn the situation around to 3-2, but Barcelona had to swallow the bitter pill after Villarreal scored 3 additional goals in the remaining match time. Villarreal mentality apparently doesn't break down easily even though their status is a visiting team and they are already behind Barcelona, they continue to try to find gaps even though Barcelona has control of the ball.

There is no longer any need to assess Barcelona performance after achieving bad results from a team that had never won in its last three matches. Before beating Barcelona by scoring five goals at once, Villarreal had lost 11 times and conceded 42 goals. Xavi-Out is starting to be discussed due to the poor results achieved by Barcelona, maybe next season Barcelona will look for a replacement for Xavi because the level of trust in him is decreasing.

The Real Madrid team has always been aggressive and the team is on the top of the points table with three points which is marked as the best team of this season.

Real Madrid won by a narrow score against Las Palmas, namely 2:1, I was almost anxious when I saw that Las Palmas was able to create its first lead by Javi Munoz in the 53rd minutes and in the second possession the club played very well with fair possession accuracy. Real Madrid started to provide more aggressive attack when Real Madrid conceded a goal and sure enough Vinicius Jr was able to equalize in the 65th minute after that Aurélien Tchouaméni scored Real Madrid's second goal and led Real Madrid to victory.

This victory is very important for Real Madrid because they want to reclaim the top position of the standings which was previously taken over by Girona, now Real Madrid is at the top with the end of the same match and Real Madrid has 2 points more than Girona, I think Real Madrid must expand distance from Girona if you want to sit comfortably at the top because Girona still has a big chances of occupying the top if Real Madrid is careless or suffers just one defeat. Therefore Real Madrid must continues to appear consistent before Girona suffers defeated.
