La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[tusandii]

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.

The weak team like almeria must not be on la liga. It's a shame for the club never won even a single game. Almeria will be seriously relegated to the lower division soon. Im expecting almeria to lose more points caused by its bad performance. Almeria got another bad result again and this is also disrupting the mentality owned by its players.
Im supporting the club to go to the bottom. I think that this club is obviously useless club that must not be on the la liga. I think almeria was lucky enough last season to stay at the la liga. This season is going to be a different season for almeria caused by it will be relegated very soon. The chance owned by almeria to stay is very small right now.

I think that people are also feeling so upset by seeing uncompetitive club like almeria is still exist in the la liga. Glad to see that this club will be going down soon. There's no better word to explain almeria other than disappointment. The club is performing the worst in the la liga and this is such a disgrace for the club.

Yes, it is true that it is very difficult for Almeria to survive in LaLiga because for me this mediocre club is just lucky to be promoted to LaLiga because previously Almeria performance in the Segunda division has always been bad and last season they were lucky enough to take advantage of the opportunity to be promoted to LaLiga and it turns out Almeria cannot maintain its consistency and must accept that at the end of the season it will leave LaLiga because as you said, since the start of the season until today it has not been able to score a single win.
For me, everyone who supports big LaLiga clubs really likes Almeria's performance because it is one of the clubs that can be used as a place to get 3 points without any difficulty.

I think it's not just Almeria that is certain to be relegated, but Cadiz and Granada also seem to have difficulty getting out of the red zone.

I can't really understand the behavior of Barcelona with their player, Frenkie de Jong. We all know Barcelona is not in a good situation and buying any new player is impossible for them. Also, Frenkie de Jong was recently one of the best players in this team but they don't respect him enough. Barcelona even tried to sell De Jong to Manchester United but his performance made them keep this player. Now he is sad because Barcelona is not willing to extend his offer to pay him more salary and that's why he could leave.

They tried to create pressure on the player with intention to force him to leave the club in the summer. Then they failed and De Jong continued to play for them and made good contributions for them. I agree with you that De Jong is still one of most constructive players in Barcelona. Months ago, it could be from Xavi's favorite tactics as well as strategy of the club. Months later, the player is still very important in their squad and they again show disrespect to De Jong by trying to force him to leave again.

De Jong can easily find some other big clubs in Europe or can join Saudi Professional League in the next summer. With bad treatments from Barcelona, time to time, I see no reason why he should stay in Nou Camp after the contract expiration date. No need to deal a new contract with Barcelona, as he can move to a better club that will treat him better.

[X-ray]

Sergi Roberto the player of Barcelona was about to leave and there was muchs news about him leaving the team but they decided to keep their player and that's why Barcelona, sent him an offer to extend his contract for a longer time. Sergi Roberto is a leader in Barcelona and he doesn't take a huge amount of money for salary which is the reason for Sergi Roberto to get an offer from Barcelona.

I think, he deserved that offer from Barcelon management because it will be difficult to see players who will accept to be receiving such salary from their team but Segi Roberto took a good step to prove to the team that he love the team by receiving low salary for long period of time. Now that his contract has be extended to long period of time, I think it will add more improvement to Barcelona in their remaining matches, because Barcelona need to improve higher to leave their current position even though they are not going to win the la Liga league title this season. I don't think, this offer will stop Barcelona not to bring in some potential players when the window is open for signing in new players, because there are some players Barcelona manager need to release to be able to achieve the quality players they want.

Barcelona was always forcing the players to cut their salary and this can't be tolerated. They must have got what they deserved and barcelona shall try to sell the players if the club keep try to cut the salaries from some players. I think that if the club has no resource to recruit the new player and then there shall not be a conflict in the club.
Xavi has taken the right decision to leave from there as soon as possible. It means xavi has made the right decision to leave from barcelona as soon as possible I knew that if some fans were so upste toward him but i think that's not a serious problem for him.

barcelona needs to prepare the new recruitment as soon as possible but the financial problem has prvented barcelona to win the game. I do support the club to get a good result in the upcoming game but consider it's gonna face napoli and this is the main problem.
barcleona needs to be careful or it will be losing int he first leg against napoli. I hope that napoli will able to perform even better compared to the last season.

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.

I think Napoli will watch the replay of Granada holding Barcelona to a draw. Overall the Barcelona defenders really performed poorly. They have conceded 33 goals and that is a very bad result for their defense. Napoli can use this weakness to win. Even though Napoli is in poor form in Serie A I think Napoli will not be beaten easily. I bet the match will end in a draw. Both teams are not in good form.

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.

Hmmm this is quite a stink, mate, This season Barcelona has had very poor performance status especially from the defensive point of view They conceded too many goals even though they were 3-0 up but due to the lack of defense, the opponent made it 3-3. I think the Barcelona defense will be considered one of the poorest defense in La Liga this season because in only 18 matches, they concede 20 goals. From all above, this from in the recent matches, like previous in 8 matches they conceded 15 goals, which is quite poor. So therefore I believe that Barcelona will lose this match. Because Napoli have a strong attack, and Barcelona's defense couldn't stop them. 
 
So in My point of view Barcelona couldn't get the chance to win the game because they have a poor defense and when a club couldn't hold the net so how they will go for win the match.

Indeed, Barcelona's performance is very bad in terms of defense, this is what caused them to experience defeat and lead to losing points in the last few weeks because Barcelona's defense is very bad and mediocre clubs are able to break through Barcelona's defense easily so it is natural that many doubt Barcelona's performance. this season to compete in La Liga and also the Champions League even though Barcelona's opponents are also unstable but it is true as you said that Napoli have a very strong attack line. Especially Victor Oshimen so Barcelona must prepare themselves and improve their performance if they don't want to experience defeat by Naples.

And this is quite a tough task for Xavi Hernandez because Xavi can't do much to improve the back line to improved his clubs performance so I think the fans and the board are just resigned to the tactic that Xavi used in that match but I hope Barcelona can wins the match even though must be with thin win.

Actually, Nou Camp is not a place for players to develop their careers. I feel like this place has become a place for them to do business with players, which is true. The Camp Nou home team faces many financial difficulties. That affects De Jong's income as well as other players at Barcelona. Barcelona do not want to let De Jong lose his market value, and they are doing this to force him out in the summer of 2024 to avoid a free transfer when his contract expires. They do so when it will help Barcelona save a decent amount of money while also receiving a huge transfer fee. De Jong is no longer maintaining his stance and is likely to leave Barcelona in the 2024 summer transfer window, even though he has a contract until the end of the 2025/26 season. The Premier League tournament always has many clubs welcoming De Jong and willing to spend large sums of money to have him.

Yes, so far Almeria has not won a single win in Laliga this season and I agree with your opinion that Almeria is a weak team and so far they have never won a match in Laliga which is a bad reputation considering that of course many other teams have won. when competing but Almeria have never won.

However, when Almeria played against Girona, of course we saw that Almeria's strength was special, but in fact at that time Almeria was unable to take advantage of opportunities and their shots on goal were always inaccurate, but I think the draw against Girona was special because Michel's team was really great. and against Madrid, the match also ended with a narrow score, against Valencia, also with a narrow score, and against Bilbao, the result was also a draw.

and considering that the next match is supposed to be against Granada, Almeria should win, but we'll see.

What I mean by what I say is that teams are respected like this so in the end any team that will compete against Almeria will always be careful because remembering that the results of Almeria's matches with strong teams always have a narrow difference.

But what you say is true because of course we have to look at the fact that Almeria is a weak team at the moment.

Barcelona even tried to sell De Jong to Manchester United but his performance made them keep this player. Now he is sad because Barcelona is not willing to extend his offer to pay him more salary and that's why he could leave.

Isn't De Jong staying at Barcelona because of the high salary? and if I'm not mistaken he gets the second biggest salary as a football player after Mbappe from PSG. I don't think any player will want to leave as long as the club can still pay very high salaries and that's why De Jong is so comfortable at Barcelona. Apart from that, his performance at Barcelona has been very good so far, but what's the point of keeping good players if the club is in a period of financial difficulties?

Barcelona made the right move if they rejected the offer of a higher salary and it would be better for them to start thinking about selling De Jong and as a big team they cannot continue to depend on their key players if the club is still having difficulties. I mean if De Jong wants to stay and can cut his salary that would be much better, however I see his performance this season is not as good as the previous season. But if the decision to leave was taken by De Jong himself, that would be even better and Barcelona would have to be firm with their players.

[khiholangkang]

Barcelona can send any player from the team when it comes to money. The biggest example of this is Lionel Messi. They sent a player like him off the team because of salary. I'm sure Sergi Roberto's salary is very low and that's why he was accepted. Also, there is a need for such an experienced player in the team. I understand they want to extend the contract.

In my point of view this is not good that Barcelona cares more about money than their players loyalty and talent. They let go of Lionel Messi who is one of the best football players ever just because of his salary . This shows that they don't appreciate what he did for the team and how valuable he was on and off the field just because of money. It's true that Sergi Roberto has a lower salary and brings experience to the team but that doesn't make it right to treat Messi like they did.

But we can't look at it that way, the manager must want to make their club have stable finances and or not have a bigger risk even though basically the person has merit and ability, but if you can't afford to pay him then it's very difficult to say to selfishly keep him and risk the integrity of the club.

For sure money needs to be managed well for the health of the team and everyone involved gets a salary, I think from a businessman's point of view it's reasonable in financial management, maybe if the deal goes through messi can accept a smaller salary for the health of the team must be retained in my opinion.

[Velvet78]

Barcelona have very valuable players indeed but they wouldn't and shouldn't sell some specific players thinking about their future. Players like Gavi, Pedri should always be kept in the squad for example. This kind of players are Barcelona's future now. Barcelona's most recent contract with them must be already showing that they don't intend to part ways with them anytime.

This team might just make use of some improvements in the defense line. Because they have been horrible this season as they have conceded too many goals compared to the previous season. A team like Barcelona deserve the best players for every position.

[pusaka]

In my opinion, Barcelona's reign of football is slowly coming to an end. The fact that Barcelona could not win their home match is a big proof of that. As a Barcelona fan I feel a lot of shame for the bad streak of Barcelona players. If Barcelona continue to lose their consistency like this, it won't take long for Barcelona to join the ranks of weaker clubs. Now Barcelona should acquire new players for next season. So that Barcelona can once again be at the top of La Liga.

Consistency is the top priority for Xavi Hernandez this period because mere watching the performance and stats of Barcelona, it's not encourageble to watch their matches. They can't move to the top because they're showing zero signs of transforming to a formidable team. Barcelona dropped heavily in performance, they have no solid ground of bouncing back to triumphant victory this season, definitely weigh out of line. Barcelona changes in elite performance, they lack the imperative qualities to hold unto because the players are out of line.

If you look at their statistics in the last decade, they show a decline, I don't even see them as they used to be when they were victorious, at that time they still had Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and others. I think one of the things that makes them like this is because they are not ready when their mainstay players leave the team one by one, or in the sense that their regeneration process is not going well.
Another problem is the financial problems they are experiencing at the moment, it is very pronounced for their decline. That problem makes them unable to move more freely and that they cannot bring in new, fresher players to help or fill their weaknesses.

Yes, Barcelona really deserves to get great players and keep the good players they have. The only problem is that we all know that this club is still struggling for several seasons with problems that have not been resolved until now, namely financial problems. So Barcelona's biggest obstacle is probably this. So this club will still sell several players to ease the financial problems they have. But I think the two players you mentioned will continue to stay at this club. Because yes, it would have a very bad impact on this club if it lost these two important players. Because Barcelona still really needs him.

They let go of Lionel Messi who is one of the best football players ever just because of his salary . This shows that they don't appreciate what he did for the team and how valuable he was on and off the field just because of money. It's true that Sergi Roberto has a lower salary and brings experience to the team but that doesn't make it right to treat Messi like they did.

In modern football, money really determines the level of success of a club because currently it is very difficult to find talented and mature players if the club doesn't have money. Although we do not ignore young players from the club academy, young players have to adapt and experience is also an obstacle for them to adapt quickly. If Barcelona is unable to improve the club's financial capabilities for the better, then they will have difficulty competing in local competitions and the Champions League.

This concern needs to be considered by club management because if their income continues to decline, the quality of the club will be much more difficult to develop. Now they only have a few senior players who have experience and the young players they have are not yet ready to face the pressure in crucial matches.

[Blitzboy]

I can't really understand the behavior of Barcelona with their player, Frenkie de Jong. We all know Barcelona is not in a good situation and buying any new player is impossible for them.

Barcelona even tried to sell De Jong to Manchester United but his performance made them keep this player. Now he is sad because Barcelona is not willing to extend his offer to pay him more salary and that's why he could leave.

After avoiding the sale to Manchester United, the club should make him feel valued. Instead, they're placing him in a terrible salary situation, which is unfair. If the reports are genuine and he's one of the top earners, the club may be reticent to raise his wage during financial crisis.

I think De Jong's willingness to compromise, perhaps by reducing his wage expectations, shows character and loyalty to the organization. I feel sorry for him. Its hard to feel unappreciated after giving your all on the pitch. Barcelona must improve how they treat its stars. Not just money, but respect and recognition.

[bering]

Girona is really facing tight schedules this month because after they fight against Real Madrid then this week Girona will playing away at Bilbao home ground and i will see this match will be difficult match for Girona because on November last year Bilbao can able to makes Girona slipped because at that time they only playing draw and now after beated by Real Madrid last week Girona actually want to return to the winning ways but seems it won't be easy because Bilbao is categorized as dark horses team this season and their current performance is much better compared to last season

I have been discuss about this before because Bilbao was very strong at their home and during this season Bilbao can collect 9 wins at there and only lost once from Real Madrid so Girona is really gets decent opponent this time and i think Bilbao potentially can makes Girona gets in trouble and currently Girona has 5 difference points below to Real Madrid and if they want to keep up Real Madrid for race title i think win result is mandatory because if they lost or draw then Girona target to taking over first place from Real Madrid will be so difficult but after seeing Bilbao home matches statistics i think Bilbao possibly can being an the winner of this match

In my opinion. Barcelona's current downturn is not the players' fault, but rather Xavi's fault for not being able to coach a team as big as Barcelona. Xavi is none other than the Spanish version of Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney. Good players but bad managers. Completely beyond his depth and capabilities.

Even though they have Pedri, Frenkie, Lewa, the best strikers, Araujo and Kounde the best defenders, and Mats the best goalkeeper. And now Xavi blames the players and keeps saying injuries and teenagers. All the players I mentioned above are the best. Just look now at Real Madrid without the main goalkeeper and all the CB players. It doesn't even have a main striker. Playing several games without a single CB, they had several injuries and two months without Vini, Cama, Carvajal and others, now Jude is injured, but Real Madrid can get through it because they have a genius coach. So, Barcelona can bounce back next season after Xavi steps down from Barcelona and Barcelona brings in a new coach.

But if the decision to leave was taken by De Jong himself, that would be even better and Barcelona would have to be firm with their players.

This is not about money, but De Jong with his determination in choosing Barcelona, his interest in playing as a midfielder because De Jong knows very well that La Liga is a place where reliable midfielders are created here, that is why De Jong chose Barcelona with the style of play he has. De Jong wants De Jong to be at Barcelona, so there is no concern regarding the salary that De Jong receives while at Barcelona because management still wants his services to be loyal to Barcelona and his role is still crucial and key in the midfielder sector.

So, Barcelona can bounce back next season after Xavi steps down from Barcelona and Barcelona brings in a new coach.

It can be understood, but Xavi cannot be completely blamed, he has tried his best for the best results he could give. Last season Madrid experienced a setback, and Barcelona managed to dominate La Liga by winning it. This season Madrid is on the rise, and Barcelona is struggling to keep up with the competition, an ups and downs that is very common in football. I think replacing Xavi is also not wrong, the management definitely understands the condition and needs of the team, what they need to pay attention to is the right successor to replace Xavi.

The injury factor is also very understandable, the difference between Xavi and Ancelotti is very clear, where experience makes a clear difference in the results of matches, especially in experimenting to determine the lineup. It is very likely that Barcelona next season will be even better, but Xavi must be able to bring Barcelona to finish in the top four of the standings and appear in the UCL next season. I see that the depth of Barcelona squad actually makes it possible for them to compete to retain the trophy, but Xavi has failed to manage opportunities this season.

Of course, your assumption towards Barcelona this season is quite neutral where there is no hidden sentiment or hatred in it. It's true, Xavi cannot be entirely blamed for the decline in Barcelona's level of play this season, I think all the players know that too and as players they also have responsibility for their respective jobs.

Barcelona won't be considered better even if they really had a great season even when they won the title, but it feels natural because Barcelona is Real Madrid's toughest challenger so far. Xavi and all the coaches who have coached Barcelona know how much pressure they face at Barcelona, ​​​​even pressure from external is sometimes much worse and can have an impact on them. But I respect him as a player and coach, he has proven his worth at Barcelona.

[FanEagle]

Frankie De Jong gets about 20 million a year, I think that is not the highest after Mbappe, there are plenty like Kane, but it is definitely high. Barcelona can't afford to pay him 20 a year, they can sell him or just release him after his contract is over. I do not get why people are mad about it, Barcelona was managed poorly and they lost all their money that part is true and you can be mad about that part.

However, afterwards as in if you look at it right now then we can see that they are doing the right thing. How can a company who sold a lot of stuff just to keep the lights on, can afford a 20 million a year player. They should go with cheaper players, that would make it a lot better for all of them without a doubt.
