La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[wakier]

I would guess that Barcelona having trouble right now is overestimated. First of all, last year they were the champions, they are literally the latest champions of the league, saying that they are not doing well is unreasonable, secondly they have one year right now where they are not the champions if they lose this season (when they lose it) so it is not a big deal.

On top of that, they are a team with a lot of financial trouble, so they managed to do the right thing and figured out a lot of great young players, they have 6-7 great young players that can play amazingly and I believe that they should be doing fine. I think the best thing to do in this case would be just considering them lucky and they can be doing better next season with what they have.

I agree with you. If you look at the statistics in the previous few seasons, Barcelona was able to stay in the top 3 for several seasons and that shows that they are still the same Barcelona and are one of the big teams in La Liga. But what differentiates them from previous seasons is that they slumped to 4th and 5th place this season. I think that's something that rarely happens to Barcelona. And coupled with the financial crisis experienced by the team, some people think that Barcelona is in trouble. But if you look at their current position I am sure they will get second place in La Liga. And with great young players in their team, I think Barcelona will return to being one of Europe's strongest teams next season.

Even though this season, Barcelona experienced a downturn and was in 4th or 5th position, but in fact Barcelona didn't continue to stay there, we just weren't patient enough to see Barcelona rise and return to being a strong team in La Liga and now Barcelona has overtaken Girona and is in second place. It's enough to give fans peace of mind because their favorite team is still the best team in La Liga even though they have some financial problems within the team, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Barcelona will still have good performance in La Liga.

If Real Madrid gets the opportunity and defeats Manchester City in the quarter-finals, I believe Real Madrid will be in the final because it is only Manchester City that is scaring the fans, they need to perform very well to get the chance and defeat Guadiola in the Champions League, but I know Ancelotti will change his information against Manchester City because they are new players in the team now, and Militoa will not get the chance to play against Manchester City this season because of the injury. Rudigel will be able to play full-time. I don't want Manchester City to win any trophies this season because they won everything last season, Guadiola wants to win the champions league back to back like Zidane, because they don't used to joke with any of their matches in the league and the champions league, let's see if Guadiola will get the second trophy this season again because if they defeat Real Madrid this time they will definitely qualify to the final, and I don't see any clubs that are strong enough apart from Real Madrid that can compete with guadiola in the Champions League competition this season.

Is it only Manchester City that can stop Real Madrid from winning the title this season, in my opinion, if I’m not mistaken? Because of the consistency of Real Madrid, even Bayern Munich and Arsenal, I don't think they can be a challenge for them, but Manchester City, given that they are fully ready for the title too, I believe they will do everything to see that they bring Real Madrid down so they can get the title. However, anything that will make one of them qualify for the final stage of the competition—don't think there is any other team that will be a challenge for them.

So let's see how the Real Madrid and Manchester City matches will be because many people have been discussing this match, and the discussions are not even going the same way. I think the match is unpredictable since both clubs are doing very well this season; we don’t have any other predictions, and even if I’m to place a bet, I won’t include this match because things can change in this match. 

[Inwestour]

Barcelona's performance is not satisfying and I can bet you that even last season, when they won La Liga, it was all luck The real Madrid focus was on the UCL, and there was no other serious club that would compete with it. That is why I said Barcelona is doing well. Look at Barcelona during Messi and see how the club was all-flying their performance was extraordinary. and making the top 3 is not an achievement to me when others are busy looking for ways to win the trophy they are looking for Look at Manchester City last season, winning 3 trophies. That is what will be called an effort, not looking for ways to make the top 3, and we should not forget that Girona is there so second place will not be easy for them likewise.

There is no need to compare now Real Madrid, which had the opportunity to strengthen the team in the summer, and Barcelona, which spent the entire season without new transfers and, in addition, some important players, like Dembele, left the team.

Real Madrid's financial situation is much better, so they look better this season, Barcelona in a sense is trying to survive, I'm talking about finances, and in such conditions putting pressure on Xavi was a mistake. I’m almost sure that without Xavi it will be even more difficult for Barcelona, but now nothing can be done, they need to look for a way out of this situation.

[klidex]

Real Madrid had only 1 defeat this year, they are performing really well in the league. If they make one or two strong transfers next season, they will be able to really fight to be the best in the world. I think Real Madrid's current performance in the league is very good, and they can become undefeated champions after strong transfers.
In this case, Barcelona will have to work to finish the season second again

With Real Madrid's performance this season, it can be assumed that even without Mbappe, Real Madrid will still be a strong club in La Liga and also the Champions League. Moreover, the addition of Kylian Mbappe to the squad will certainly make Real Madrid a very strong club in every competition and make many clubs that face Real Madrid feel anxious and I think many clubs are afraid of Mbappe's presence in the Real Madrid squad. Next season. Real Madrid is very lucky to get good players without having to spend money on transfer fees. The combination of Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and also Mbappe will make Real Madrid unbeatable and ready to face other tough opponents, especially in the Champions League next season.

Barcelona can't do much if Real Madrid has good players in it, while Barcelona itself is unable to recruit good players, it definitely feels a lot of pressure to play against Real Madrid, let alone compete for the title. I think Real Madrid will win the title again next season because if Mbappe Already at the club, Real Madrid's performance is increasing. Hopefully Mbappe will be able to adapt quickly to the Real Madrid club.

After Messi left Barcelona, Barcelona's performance began to deteriorate. After Koeman became the coach, we saw a further decline in Barcelona's performance. However, Barcelona's performance stabilized somewhat after Xavi took over. And the champions of the previous season were the Barcelona team. However, Barcelona's overall performance is still quite weak and erratic.

Xavi will not be with Barcelona next season. Barcelona must look for a new experienced coach. I don't think Barcelona's performance will improve if the coach is not experienced. Looking forward to seeing who Barcelona appoint as their coach.

Barcelona's performance in several seasons has been very bad, although they can still compete to break into the top 4 in La Liga, but to compete for the championship trophy will be very difficult for them, especially next season Madrid will be stronger with the many transfer plans they will do, for now indeed we cannot hope more for Barcelona but I am quite sure if they will still be able to provide resistance next season in La Liga even though they can't to stop Madrid.

Barcelona's deteriorating performance has nothing to do with Messi in my opinion, because indeed at that time they had major problems in the club's financial balance, forcing Barcelona to release Messi to PSG in order to cut the punishment they would receive if they continued to keep Messi, besides that Barcelona's inability to register new players at that time made Barcelona have to play with makeshift players and that's when Barcelona got worse by having to Cut player salaries and also release all their star players to other teams in order to balance the club's finances.
 Xavi decision to leave Barcelona next season will make Barcelona even more depressed because after all it will be difficult for Barcelona to find a replacement for Xavi when their finances are in trouble,  Moreover, Barcelona realizes that if they bring in a top coach, of course they will spend a lot of money to pay the coach's expensive salary.

I think Real Madrid will win the title again next season because if Mbappe Already at the club, Real Madrid's performance is increasing. Hopefully Mbappe will be able to adapt quickly to the Real Madrid club.

The Real Madrid team this season, especially at the start of the season, often experienced problems in their front line which were not able to show good performance so this cannot be ignored continuously even though several other players were able to cover it up so that up to now Real Madrid has been able to get positive results but Indeed, in my opinion, Mbappe is really needed by the team. If Mbappe comes to Real Madrid, this team will seem to have everything in every line.

The Barcelona team's internal problems have prevented them from getting back on their feet in the last few seasons and this has made the competition in La Liga very boring, as has been the case this season, especially when Real Madrid continues to increase the strength of its team, it is certain that the Real Madrid team will not meet any opponents or Fierce competition in La Liga.

That is what will be called an effort, not looking for ways to make the top 3, and we should not forget that Girona is there so second place will not be easy for them likewise.

Many supporters of Barcelona believe that their team can compete with Real Madrid in the La Liga, but they are unaware that nothing will stop Real Madrid from winning the league this year. You are also correct regarding Barcelona's performance in the previous season; luck played a major role in their victory, and Real Madrid's focus on the Champions League that year also contributed to their success. Given the level of competition this season, Barcelona is not a team that can be trusted to win any trophies.

Although their current form appears strong and has helped them advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, supporters shouldn't be encouraged to believe that Barcelona can win Laliga and advance to the championship game because there are many teams that are stronger than them. While young players like Lamin Yamal and Cubasi are certainly giving Barcelona more confidence at this point, they should also keep in mind that these players are still young and that using them will negatively impact their careers.

I will say Barcelona's bad performance has a lot to do with Lionel Messi leaving. And it also has a lot to do with the bad financial situation. Because remember if Barcelona was not in such a bad situation financially, they wouldn't have become the club that they are today. They would still be able to bring in great players without thinking too much and also big coaches would have been interested in managing Barcelona. A player who is showing good potential would not have to think a lot about his future in Barcelona before joining the club. And in my opinion, if they could actually somehow keep Lionel Messi, his leadership would definitely have helped. We all know what he did in the recent World Cup with Argentina.

[naira]

Now Barcelona is in 2nd place in Laliga, of course this is a good thing because of course there is still hope for Barcelona to become champions again this season.
Although it is actually difficult for Barcelona to become champions because Real Madrid is superior to Barcelona.

However, if you look at Barcelona's finances, I think in this case Xavi has succeeded in bringing Barcelona to success and this season I think Barcelona can be considered successful because currently, even though they are in 2nd place.

However, Barcelona fans definitely want Barcelona to perform better this season and want Barcelona to become champions again this season. However, it seems that Xavi is starting to feel uncomfortable at Barcelona until he finally decides to leave Barcelona at the end of this season. Yes, having young players in Barcelona certainly opens up opportunities for Barcelona to perform better next season, but I think if for example Xavi leaves Barcelona, ​​I don't think Barcelona will necessarily perform as well as it is now because I think Xavi is really needed by Barcelona.

The audience is exaggerating this season, even though the performance is actually fine, only because financial matters are used as material to lower the mental state of the players. The reason is, what is happening in the depths of the Barcelona squad is still solid and still has the same enthusiasm as last season. In my opinion Barcelona has been extraordinary so far in both the UCL and La Liga, it doesn't matter if they don't win trophies but their output is still quite strong. Barcelona has young players who are loyal to the club even in the midst of a financial crisis. I think Barcelona serious problems will come next season after Xavi actually leaves the club.

[knowngunman]

I think it boils down to the standard of the club. Many football fans will not admit it but Barcelona is among the top 3 biggest clubs in the world. When a club as big as Barcelona has a little failure, it would be viewed as a very huge one meanwhile this is what other teams get a pass for.

Let's put what I mean practically. If you ask any football fan to choose which club has been more successful in the past 10 years between Liverpool and Barcelona, most of them will say it's Liverpool, but are they?
Liverpool has the Champions League in the last 10 years, and Barcelona also has won 1 Champions League in the past 10 years.
In total, Barcelona has won 16 trophies since 2015 while Liverpool has won 7 but because of the standards of Barcelona, this is considered poor. It's the price for greatness, I understand.

I like the way you analyze the whole issues in your comments but I will also like to know the other two clubs alongside Barcelona as the biggest clubs and the basis in which you rate them. Moreover, I don't think any sane and experienced football fan would rate Liverpool ahead of Barcelona despite the recent challenges they are experiencing. Actually, Barcelona performance has depreciate but not to the extent people are assuming it. As you pointed out earlier in your comments is exactly what I noticed too. The reason their poor performance is noticed and being talked about is because of their standard and of course, expectation from them is beyond imagination. Considering the squads that made up the current Barcelona team, one can not expect too much from them as everyone is doing right now. These boys are too young to be mounted with much pressure to play extraordinarily.

That is what will be called an effort, not looking for ways to make the top 3, and we should not forget that Girona is there so second place will not be easy for them likewise.

It was not luck, my friend, but was Real Madrid still in the process of rebuilding the club again? If you are calling that Madrid was focusing on UCL, this is totally wrong, as Madrid lost against City last season. Barcelona was at the right time when many clubs are rebuilding their clubs and barcelona took the momentum.
The current season is kinda different caused by real madrid is slowly finishing to rebuild its club again. Real madrid needs only some final touches to finish the best squad in the world. The first plan to recruit a good striker for the club. The second place is rebuilding the defensive line of real madrid.

I have been seeing that the main concern that often causes Real Madrid to struggle to win the game is its weak defense, which can concede goals anytime. Real Madrid needs to put more effort into rebuilding the defensive line.
Real Madrid's main weaknesses were on the RB and LB. They have no good wing backs, and this must be sorted out as soon as possible. Ancellotti and perez have promised to sign two new players.

[rendravolt]

Real Sociedad have achieved two consecutive wins and this week will be the next winning streak if they succeed in overthrowing Alaves away from home. We know that Real Sociedad is having quite a difficult season and they have also just been eliminated from the Champions League stage this season. But they still have other responsibilities in La Liga and their mission is of course to return to the Champions League zone next season.

It's just that the situation is not very favorable at the moment because they have a big difference in points to be able to break into the top 4 of the standings and they need at least an additional 10 points to be able to qualify for that place. Now the challenge awaits them in the remaining matches and seeing that the H2H against Alaves is actually not that good and often ends in a draw. But overall, Real Sociedad was quite dominant, but it should also be remembered that the meeting at the start of the season against Alaves ended in a draw at that time. I think this time Real Sociedad won't have any more trouble and will definitely be able to beat Alaves, but of course with a fairly narrow score.

[Solokan]

I would guess that Barcelona having trouble right now is overestimated. First of all, last year they were the champions, they are literally the latest champions of the league, saying that they are not doing well is unreasonable, secondly they have one year right now where they are not the champions if they lose this season (when they lose it) so it is not a big deal.

On top of that, they are a team with a lot of financial trouble, so they managed to do the right thing and figured out a lot of great young players, they have 6-7 great young players that can play amazingly and I believe that they should be doing fine. I think the best thing to do in this case would be just considering them lucky and they can be doing better next season with what they have.

I agree with you. If you look at the statistics in the previous few seasons, Barcelona was able to stay in the top 3 for several seasons and that shows that they are still the same Barcelona and are one of the big teams in La Liga. But what differentiates them from previous seasons is that they slumped to 4th and 5th place this season. I think that's something that rarely happens to Barcelona. And coupled with the financial crisis experienced by the team, some people think that Barcelona is in trouble. But if you look at their current position I am sure they will get second place in La Liga. And with great young players in their team, I think Barcelona will return to being one of Europe's strongest teams next season.

I am also quite confident that Barcelona will be able to maintain the 2nd place they currently occupy in the standings. Because we have seen Girona and Atletico Madrid even experiencing instability recently. Atletico Madrid seems to have had their concentration in Laliga a little disturbed because they are trying to focus on the UCL. That's why Atletico Madrid is now ranked 5th and that's quite surprising.

Barcelona has had financial problems for a long time. But when shopping for players, it seems like this club always chooses the right players. At the start of this season, Barcelona may not be shopping for great players. But Barcelona made the right choice by borrowing Felix from Atletico Madrid and also borrowing Joao Cancello from Man City. Joao Cancelo is a defender but sometimes this player is also quite active in helping forward if he has the opportunity and sometimes scores goals. And actually the players Barcelona has are not that bad. It's just that I'm worried that they will get the wrong coach next season.

Yes, it looks like Barcelona will have the potential to be firmly in second place in Laliga until the end of this season. and Atletico Madrid, recently their performance has not been stable, and neither has Girona. and Barcelona against Atletico Madrid with a score of 0-3 will certainly make Barcelona fans believe that Barcelona will be superior and be ranked runner-up. until the end of the season and on week to 30 we will see Barcelona against Las Palmas. I think Barcelona will easily be able to beat Las Palmas, but if Barcelona draws or loses it will certainly open up space for Girona so of course Xavi has to be alert even though his opponent at that time is Las Palmas.

Yes, the financial problems that Barcelona has been experiencing for a long time certainly haven't made Barcelona lose its performance because Barcelona is good at shopping for players and Barcelona always gets the right players.

That's what I'm worried about and hope Barcelona can perform better next season, even though for example Xavi isn't the one coaching Barcelona.

[Bitcoin_people]

The two La Liga teams currently occupying two places in the points table are Barcelona and Real Madrid. These two teams will also play in the Champions League. Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently in very good positions. And in this season's Champions League, both the teams will work hard enough as both the teams will surely work hard to get the win against their next match opponents. And already I think that since Real Madrid are at the top of the points table, they are many points ahead of Barcelona in La Liga, so Real Madrid will focus mostly on the Champions League at the moment. Although the biggest matches this season will be in the Champions League as there are going to be enough attacks with Real Madrid and Manchester City that Real Madrid will focus mostly on the Champions League rather than La Liga. Since Barcelona are many points below Real Madrid, the Madrid team will work harder in the Champions League than in La Liga just to win the title.

I am very impressed with Barcelona struggle to get out of their downturn this season, they were knocked out of the top four positions due to poor performances which resulted in them losing a lot of points. However, Barcelona was able to show its identity as a big team in La Liga, now they have managed to re-enter the UCL Zone by occupying second place. The decline in performance of Atletico and Girona provides an advantage for Barcelona, although it is a bit difficult for Barcelona to reach the first position now occupied by Real Madrid, they can try to secure the runner up position until the end of the season.

[Velvet78]

Real Sociedad have achieved two consecutive wins and this week will be the next winning streak if they succeed in overthrowing Alaves away from home. We know that Real Sociedad is having quite a difficult season and they have also just been eliminated from the Champions League stage this season. But they still have other responsibilities in La Liga and their mission is of course to return to the Champions League zone next season.

Real Sociedad were much more of a fighter in the league in the previous season. However we can't see the same dedication this season unfortunately.    Maybe the Athletic Bilbao factor is playing an important role here because they weren't this effective previously. But in this season they are doing an incredible job by fighting for a Champions League spot.

Still Real Sociedad could have been more competitive instead of trailing behind by nearly 10 points though. Even their Conference League spot is in danger right now as Betis aren't that far away. Their remaining games are also not easy as there are ones against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

After Messi left Barcelona, Barcelona's performance began to deteriorate. After Koeman became the coach, we saw a further decline in Barcelona's performance. However, Barcelona's performance stabilized somewhat after Xavi took over. And the champions of the previous season were the Barcelona team. However, Barcelona's overall performance is still quite weak and erratic.

Xavi will not be with Barcelona next season. Barcelona must look for a new experienced coach. I don't think Barcelona's performance will improve if the coach is not experienced. Looking forward to seeing who Barcelona appoint as their coach.

Barcelona's performance in several seasons has been very bad, although they can still compete to break into the top 4 in La Liga, but to compete for the championship trophy will be very difficult for them, especially next season Madrid will be stronger with the many transfer plans they will do, for now indeed we cannot hope more for Barcelona but I am quite sure if they will still be able to provide resistance next season in La Liga even though they can't to stop Madrid.

Barcelona's deteriorating performance has nothing to do with Messi in my opinion, because indeed at that time they had major problems in the club's financial balance, forcing Barcelona to release Messi to PSG in order to cut the punishment they would receive if they continued to keep Messi, besides that Barcelona's inability to register new players at that time made Barcelona have to play with makeshift players and that's when Barcelona got worse by having to Cut player salaries and also release all their star players to other teams in order to balance the club's finances.
 Xavi decision to leave Barcelona next season will make Barcelona even more depressed because after all it will be difficult for Barcelona to find a replacement for Xavi when their finances are in trouble,  Moreover, Barcelona realizes that if they bring in a top coach, of course they will spend a lot of money to pay the coach's expensive salary.

I will say Barcelona's bad performance has a lot to do with Lionel Messi leaving. And it also has a lot to do with the bad financial situation. Because remember if Barcelona was not in such a bad situation financially, they wouldn't have become the club that they are today. They would still be able to bring in great players without thinking too much and also big coaches would have been interested in managing Barcelona. A player who is showing good potential would not have to think a lot about his future in Barcelona before joining the club. And in my opinion, if they could actually somehow keep Lionel Messi, his leadership would definitely have helped. We all know what he did in the recent World Cup with Argentina.

Yes, Barcelona is in a difficult period. The Camp Nou home team has many financial problems, preventing them from creating famous transfer deals. They did not have enough money to pay Lionel Messi's salary and forced him to leave.

Xavi shows no signs of changing his opinion and remains committed to leaving at the end of the season. However, Barcelona is said to have paused the search for a replacement, hoping Laporta can convince the team's great legend to stay. Xavi's decisiveness is causing headaches for the Catalan giants. If this season ends with a good result, Laporta will convince Xavi to stay.

The two La Liga teams currently occupying two places in the points table are Barcelona and Real Madrid. These two teams will also play in the Champions League. Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently in very good positions. And in this season's Champions League, both the teams will work hard enough as both the teams will surely work hard to get the win against their next match opponents. And already I think that since Real Madrid are at the top of the points table, they are many points ahead of Barcelona in La Liga, so Real Madrid will focus mostly on the Champions League at the moment. Although the biggest matches this season will be in the Champions League as there are going to be enough attacks with Real Madrid and Manchester City that Real Madrid will focus mostly on the Champions League rather than La Liga. Since Barcelona are many points below Real Madrid, the Madrid team will work harder in the Champions League than in La Liga just to win the title.

It is even possible that these two teams will focus more on their Champions League matches because it is also almost impossible for Barcelona to catch Real Madrid's points in the current La Liga standings because they are already far behind so it is more possible for them to focus on the Champions League.
And the same goes for Real Madrid, with their points advantage making them currently quite comfortable so they can focus more on the Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City.

This season the competition in La Liga is not so fierce because the top teams that usually compete for the title such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are in decline so Real Madrid can easily dominate at the top of the standings without any pressure from other teams.

[Volgastallion]

Lot of unpredictable games this round we are gonna have.

First Getafe Sevilla, i dont bet in that game even drunk, Sevilla is always doing whatever they want and Getafe also, one day they win against stronger teams and the other they do shit against a weak one.

Another avoidable match for me is Celta Rayo, other two teams very irregular.

And more if we think we come back from a international break.

[hahay]

Real Sociedad have achieved two consecutive wins and this week will be the next winning streak if they succeed in overthrowing Alaves away from home. We know that Real Sociedad is having quite a difficult season and they have also just been eliminated from the Champions League stage this season. But they still have other responsibilities in La Liga and their mission is of course to return to the Champions League zone next season.

Still Real Sociedad could have been more competitive instead of trailing behind by nearly 10 points though. Even their Conference League spot is in danger right now as Betis aren't that far away. Their remaining games are also not easy as there are ones against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Even though Alaves is basically not a difficult opponent for Real Sociedad but yes, in reality, in the first meeting this season, Alaves managed to hold Real Sociedad to a draw with a score of 1-1 when Real Sociedad played at home. In this way, their second meeting this season looks like it will still be a difficult match for Real Sociedad to beat Alaves who will be playing at home. Butindeed, even though it seems like it will still not be easy for Real Sociedad to beat Alaves, I personally still veryconfident that Real Sociedad will not lose by Alaves, even if for example Real Sociedad fails to win then a draw could occur. But indeed, basically Real Sociedad will remain the favorite team in this match because of course, Real Sociedad has a bigger mission than Alaves and as such, Real Sociedad still has a chance to win.
