La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Jossque]

Even though Sevilla have had a bad season, they are still able to win against the big teams.We can say that they stole an important win from their opponent by winning 1-0 at home against Atletico Madrid.They are in the relegation zone and in order to get out of it, they must manage to get 3 points regardless of the opponent in their home matches.Maybe this match can continue that.They can say that we can beat Atletico and in other matches they must fight at full speed to move away from the relegation zone.
Celta Vigo is another team that shares the same fate. Celta Vigo started the second half better after conceding 2 goals 5 minutes before the end of the first half.Celta Vigo equalized the score after 85 minutes but conceded again 4 minutes later and unfortunately had to lose.Celta Vigo, who did not play badly against Getafe and narrowly missed the points, also need to get points.It is worth mentioning that they are another team that carries risks like Sevilla.

There were rumors linking Toni Kroos returning to Bayern Munich and in today's press conference before the match against Leipzig in the Champions League, Toni Kroos immediately dismissed them and said it would not happen. I think it is his love for Real Madrid that makes him want to continue at this club and considering that his performance is still stable until now, it suggests that he still wants to stay at Real Madrid.

There's no way Real Madrid would just let him go if his role wasn't that important and even though he knows he won't be able to strengthen Real Madrid forever, at least his services are still needed before the regeneration of Los Blancos' young players can become more mature. Maybe if you have seen the comments of his former Real Madrid teammate, Isco, he once commented on Toni Kroos' post and asked him to play in the next 2 or 3 years and Toni Kroos actually got a lot of support in this regard.

Everything goes back to his decision, even though Toni Kroos is still needed, there are many things that will be new challenges for him, because everything has been achieved and Toni Kroos has won several titles, so there is nothing wrong if there is a big club that wants to ask for his hand, even though there are several from the Italian club Juventus, who wants his services and the presence of Toni Kroos in Serie A could help Juventus in the middle sector, although not only Juventus but clubs from the Arab league also want to get his signature, Toni Kroos seems hesitant about this situation, it seems difficult to take The decision is to leave or stay, because one day Los Blancos will throw him away..

I predicted that Bilbao's match against Almeria would end in victory for Bilbao and I thought that Bilbao would score lots of goals against Almeria but it turned out that Almeria was so great that he could make Bilbao unable to score a single goal against Almeria and the result of the match must end in a 0-0 draw.

But of course Almeria always gives surprises in every match, such as the match against Girona, he can make Girona unable to score even 1 goal. and against Real Madrid, Almeria was able to score a goal against Madrid, although the result was a win for Real Madrid with a score of 3-2

With the results of this match, it is certainly very difficult for Bilbao to beat points Atletico Madrid because Bilbao did not get maximum points.

but it's a shame that Almeria hasn't won yet, yes sometimes I also want to see Almeria win the match but I think Almeria still has the potential to improve itself because even though it is at the bottom of Laliga at the moment, of course in my opinion Almeria is a team that is respected even though it is in in last place, namely 20. I hope that in the next match Almeria can win the match.

Currently, the La Liga matches have been very unpredictable. Teams that were performing well are not playing well. Especially in this week, teams that are at the top of the table are either losing or dropping points against opponents that are really towards the bottom of the table. Atletico Madrid, athletic club, Barcelona all three teams should have been the winner in their last matches. But none of them were able to secure three points. And meanwhile, Real Madrid is running away with the first position again.

Anyway, this was definitely a good performance from Almeria who has not been able to win a single match so far. At least they got a point. But I am not so sure if they will be able to win their next match.

but it's a shame that Almeria hasn't won yet, yes sometimes I also want to see Almeria win the match but I think Almeria still has the potential to improve itself because even though it is at the bottom of Laliga at the moment, of course in my opinion Almeria is a team that is respected even though it is in in last place, namely 20. I hope that in the next match Almeria can win the match.

Zero winnings for Almería, what are the players doing? Because someone have to interpret this scene for me, really a poor stats from the team, but they were very competitive previous season. It's been pretty rough for the Almería to climb to good position on the league table. Almería headcoach, Gaizka Garitano will retained his position because the board developed trust and they know how he tried his best to elevate the team's performance, all to no avail. Almería will be relegated this season because they've failed to meet up the require points on the table and in games.

There is nothing to expect from Almeria in this moment and in this season so I wonder, how can you say Almeria are a respected team? Because after all, this season is Almeria second season playing in La Liga because the previous season was Almeria first season of promotion in La Liga. But anyway, the fact is that last season Almeria was only in and competed in the lower zone in the standing and in fact, last season Almeria also only finished in 17th position just above the degrdation zone. With results like that then yes, Almeria is not a respected team as you say, because Almeria will certainly be relegated because Almeria still does not have a good ability to compete in La Liga.

Actually if Granada had use the performance they had on there match against Barcelona they would have gone very far on this Spanish La Liga because there efforts on that match was very impressive, however it was even Barcelona that scored the first goal but Granada was able to equalize and almost win Barcelona on the match because of there good performance, actually Barcelona did not expect the performance of Granada on that match because Granada has been having terrible performance this season so Barcelona believe they can easily win them but at the end it did not go the way they had expected.

Granada got a draw against Las Palmas and another draw against the mighty Barcelona. For me, it is a sign of improvement for the club. I was impressed with their attacking football and they didn't give Barca the respect which a low-class club would have given. They kept attacking even when they were leading. Barca should be grateful that they got a draw. However, it was a splendid performance by the young Spanish striker Lamine Yamal. He got a brace and his second goal will compete for the best goal of the season.

Actually in times of Granada I don't really no why they have been playing this bad on this season because is unlike them and I no that there previous seasons are not so bad like this season I wonder what is happening to the team because with there poor performance on this season is very obvious that they are going for relegation and considering there current position I doubt if they can be able to escape the relegation because there performance is still not good enough.

I will state that Granada had a better season last season where they ended the season slightly above the relegation zone. But they still have the opportunity to pick up and fight for survival in the La Liga. And from what I saw in the game against Barca, they can make it to the middle of the table if they work harder.

Maybe if you have seen the comments of his former Real Madrid teammate, Isco, he once commented on Toni Kroos' post and asked him to play in the next 2 or 3 years and Toni Kroos actually got a lot of support in this regard.

Yes, even though Madrid has many young players who are ready to replace his position, it doesn't mean that Madrid will easily let him go, because Madrid's main squad requires people who have experience playing there and Kross is the right person to play in Madrid's main squad, that's what is possible. ensure that Kross will stay there, especially as Madrid has made a big name, so it's impossible for him to return to Munich, unless that's his decision.

I also believe that Madrid needs experienced players to manage the game on the field so that they always show their best game and get good results, for example winning a match, especially this UCL match, of course he also wants to bring Madrid back to win the UCL this season where their journey has been thwarted. by Manchester City last season, of course Madrid still needs him in the main squad and he is also not old enough to still play in Madrid where he might be able to get the comfort that he doesn't get if he plays in Munich. but whatever it is, the decision remains Kross.

Today I watched the highlights of the game and yes, Granada looked very good, but what kind of strength are you talking about? The team is in 19th place and has 13 points from 24 games. This is the obvious outsider. The problem is Barcelona - they have a terrible defense (Granada could have scored more) and against its background even teams like Granada look dangerous.
You can be 95% sure that Athletic will win against Almeria today (the team has 6 points and 17 defeats lol) and so it turns out that we will have an interesting fight for the top 4 where Barcelona will not be safe at all.

Before now, Barcelona were regarded as one of the strongest teams not just in the Spanish La Liga but also in the UEFA Champions League competition and were feared by the smaller clubs but since they started underperforming, almost all the clubs that are facing does not see that fear factor in them again and now believes that Barcelona are very much beatable.

The 3:3 draw between Granada and Barcelona yesterday is a prove that the claims .of the club manager Xavi Hernandez are true. The Spanish manager last month said that things have gone too bad at the club and that it'll be very difficult to maintain the club again hence his decision to leave the club at the end of the current season. Barcelona are currently in the third position of the league table but if they continue with their current performance, they might not finish the season in the top four of the league table

I think La Liga teams are not initially afraid of Barcelona in the same way that clubs from other countries which play with Barcelona very rarely are afraid of it. Why are they afraid if they play with this club at least 2 times a year? In this case, it is perceived as routine, especially against the backdrop of the fact that there is also Real Madrid. It's just that Barcelona is weak now and it's easy to take points away from them.
As for the fight for 4th place, unfortunately Athletic unexpectedly played a goalless draw and now Barcelona has a margin of 5 points to feel calm. But it is far from certain that they will retain this reserve.

It's true that Barcelona's performances  are weak and erratic right  now. Even then, staying in the top four of the table will not be a difficult task for Barcelona. Barcelona are still ahead of Atletico  Madrid and Athletic Club on descent points. However, it is important to stabilize Barcelona's performance. Such erratic and poor performances will make it challenging for Barcelona to qualify for the Champions League. I was very disappointed with Barcelona's performance against Granada. Barcelona  conceded 3 goals in this match.

Barcelona will now look to perform well against Napoli in the  Champions League clash. Barcelona's performance will be stable and if the defenders play well, Barcelona have a chance to  win. However, there is considerable doubt  whether Barcelona's defenders will be able to play well.

[Mame89]

Im laughing now with the result achieved by barcelona. This club is the worst now and it can't even win against the worst club in the la liga. Those who took total over was lucky enough unlike people who bet on barcelona to win the game. It's unbelievable to see that if barcelona has lowered its stndard to be the same as granada. Barcelona is shit right now.
I hope people were not taking the risk by beting on the barcelona in UCL. Barcelona is going to face napoli soon and we do know that how big the gap between barcelona and napoli. Im seeing that barcelona was in the same level as granada. Barcelona is not as good as before.
The club is now being so wasteful with any chances owned by the club. Im very happy to see this happening. Barcelona is just going down and down even more. It was fuckin crazy to see granada to scored three goals against barcelona which has been favored to lost three points.
Outstanding performance from granada. Barcelona is not able battering granada and it's very embarassing result. What a terrible club.

I think Barcelona this season is finished in the title race in LaLiga and the Chmpaion League. Barcelona is now unable to build self-confidence, maybe Barcelona being in the top four of the league until the end of the season is a good achievement and next season with a new coach they will have to build a squad from scratch.

This season Barcelona's defense has been a disaster, in the last few matches they conceded easily and most recently against Granada when they conceded 3 goals, Barcelona's defense is really worrying. I think next season they will be better in every aspect of the game with a new coach and some new players. So for this season the fight for the La Liga title is over, Real Madrid deserves to be champions. In the Champions League against Napoli, I'm not sure Barcelona can get away with a fragile defense like this. Betting on Barcelona in my opinion would be risky.

[X-ray]

but it's a shame that Almeria hasn't won yet, yes sometimes I also want to see Almeria win the match but I think Almeria still has the potential to improve itself because even though it is at the bottom of Laliga at the moment, of course in my opinion Almeria is a team that is respected even though it is in in last place, namely 20.

Almería will be relegated this season because they've failed to meet up the require points on the table and in games.

They got paid for did nothing and yeah that's the reality. I knew that it's very hard to accept it but almeria is a garbage team in the la liga. This club is a really really mediocre club. I have no words to descrive that how bad this team is but the standing was saying the truth about almeria.
It feels like i wanna end la liga as soon as possible and replace almeria with a new club that could perform even better than it. Almeria was able staying in la liga caused by its luck. This club will be running out of its luck very soon. Almeria must be going down again soon.
I was not expecting a lot from this club Almeria is totally useless team right now in la liga. There's no better word to describe it other than mediocre club. we talked about the fact now how almeria was playing so badly this season.

Barcelona is really bad this year. Needless to say more, they are bad. Because they are bad, even low ranked teams can get points from them. It was a miracle to get points from Messi when they played with him. Now it's an ordinary thing. We have seen how variable a player can be for his team. Barcelona was never the same after Messi left. Xavi's method is no longer valid this year.

[Pesona1]

Barcelona will now look to perform well against Napoli in the  Champions League clash. Barcelona's performance will be stable and if the defenders play well, Barcelona have a chance to  win. However, there is considerable doubt  whether Barcelona's defenders will be able to play well.

Barcelona performance against Napoli later seems very difficult to predict, I personally don't dare to say whether they will play well or not, because currently Barcelona performance is inconsistent and it could even be said that they have not yet found their best playing rhythm, on the one hand, Barcelona is currently being required to be able to beat Napoli because the Champions League is the only hope they have left this season to win the trophy, although so far Barcelona has had a better head to head than Napoli, but I don't think Barcelona will  be able to surprise for us with beating Napoli easily, so far Napoli performance in Serie A is not much different from Barcelona in the League, but still Napoli is a strong team and in fact they often put up fierce resistance when facing big teams, winning head to head doesn't seem to make them Barcelona are the favorites when they face Napoli later.

With Barcelona's current performance, I think they are not yet calm and it is still very vulnerable for them to get out of the top 4 positions.
Barcelona's performance is not that strong this season and they are also inconsistent, so I think to be able to stay in the top 4 until the end of this season so I think this will be a big job for Xavi to be able to maintain his performance.
Meanwhile Atletico are also not consistent even though they sometimes have strong performances, this will be very difficult for the competition at the top to fight for the top 4 positions.

I think Barcelona this season is finished in the title race in LaLiga and the Chmpaion League. Barcelona is now unable to build self-confidence, maybe Barcelona being in the top four of the league until the end of the season is a good achievement and next season with a new coach they will have to build a squad from scratch.

Barcelona no longer has much chance of winning the La Liga title because Girona and Real Madrid have more points and also have better team performance. It's difficult for Barcelona to get any closer as long as the top two teams don't drop points, but it's by no means impossible. But Barcelona is not finished in the Champions League, in fact they have not played a single match in the round of 16, how do you know they are finished this season?

This season Barcelona's defense has been a disaster, in the last few matches they conceded easily and most recently against Granada when they conceded 3 goals, Barcelona's defense is really worrying. I think next season they will be better in every aspect of the game with a new coach and some new players. So for this season the fight for the La Liga title is over, Real Madrid deserves to be champions. In the Champions League against Napoli, I'm not sure Barcelona can get away with a fragile defense like this. Betting on Barcelona in my opinion would be risky.

In the last few seasons, Granada has not been an easy team for Barcelona. Look at H2H and you will definitely see the fact that Barcelona has always failed to get full points in every season against Granada in the last few seasons. Barcelona still failed to stop this record, but this season Barcelona is considered bad because they are considered to have failed to fight for the title with a 10 point gap from Real Madrid.

The match against Napoli in the last 16 of the Champions League will be a tough match for Barcelona. But I think Barcelona can't be underestimated and will probably be better than last season. Xavi only has a chance in the Champions League, but every game will not be easy for them.

[tbterryboy]

It was a very tough struggle but it ended happily and benefited Real Madrid by winning an additional 3 points. The team was able to shift the position of Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. With this victory, Real Madrid is in first place after being able to shift Girona to second place with 61 points in the standings. . Barcelona did not take good advantage of Girona's defeat because this season they played very badly, different from last year, this season Barcelona often lost 5 matches. but unexpectedly they were lucky by beating Granada and bringing Barcelona to the top of the standings at that time.
However, in the end, Barcelona must accept the fact that Squat Real Madrid is currently a very good team this season and it is possible that if they remain consistent in defense and show good play then I think Real Madrid will be able to become champions. in that match. Spanish League this season.

Looking at how they got an easily win that makes me think of how great they are to be fair, because they beat their closest opponent with such ease, I think that's a big deal. Girona never held a chance at that game, look at how better Girona played against Barcelona, historically one of the most successful teams in that league and last years title winners, whereas Real Madrid just easily breezed past Girona without a trouble.

All in all I have to say the title is all but decided right now, Real Madrid will be crowned the champions. Because we are still early in the season we do not have the mathematical guarantee yet, but the more weeks go by and we will see Real getting inch by inch closer to be crowned, and I guarantee you that it will be before the last game as well.

Meanwhile Atletico are also not consistent even though they sometimes have strong performances, this will be very difficult for the competition at the top to fight for the top 4 positions.

If they can finish the league in the top 4 places, this would really be Barcelona's chance. Barcelona is very bad this year. They had success with Xavi in ​​the past, but this year they are not like the past. Real Madrid is far ahead of them. Barcelona also loses points to smaller teams. The latest example of this was the Granada match. Who would have thought that Barcelona would concede 3 goals in this match?

You're right, it's hard to rely on Barcelona's defenders. I have lost a few matches betting on Barcelona because of the laziness of Barcelona's defenders. Especially I thought Barcelona could win with a great performance against Granada. So I bet a large amount of money in favor of Barcelona in that match. Since the match was at Barcelona's home ground, So i definitely thought Barcelona was the right team to bet on. All teams always play well at home. But unfortunately Barcelona could not take full points even at their home ground. Now I think Barcelona's defenders need to be more diligent. So that they can come up with something good against Napoli through hard work.

The Napoli vs Barcelona match will be played next week and not this week so yes, at least there is still preparation for Napoli and Barcelona to be able to play with better preparation of course. But indeed, if we check the current available odds, at least Barcelona is not the favorite team in this match later. Because after all, based on the current odds are in the range of Napoli @ 2.50 and Barcelona @ 2.63 and yes, even though Barcelona has a better squad than Napoli but it does not seem to be a good guarantee for Barcelona at this moment. Because yes, Barcelona draw against Granada in last match in La Liga was also a very disappointing result and therefore, it looks like Barcelona are in a bad situation at this moment.

Because yes, Barcelona draw against Granada in last match in La Liga was also a very disappointing result and therefore, it looks like Barcelona are in a bad situation at this moment.

Basically Barcelona doesn't have a better squad than Napoli, they have no choice but to maximize some of their young talent. Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Pau Cubarsi, Fermin Lopez and Marc Guiu are some of the players I mean, so if you look at the depth of the squad then I believe Napoli will have an advantage.

Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde, Joao Cancelo, Christensen/Inigo Martinez and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are the best defensive options so far, but that doesn't guarantee they can defend well without conceding many goals. Xavi doesn't have a good right-back so far, Kounde who plays as a center-back often fills that position even though it's not too bad for him. Joao Felix did not play in the last match against Granada, neither did Araujo so he could most likely strengthen Barcelona in the first leg if his condition is better.
