La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[tsaroz]

Of the 4 matches happening today in la liga, two have yielded result while 1 going on is predictable.
Cadiz won over Granada by 1 goal. Both of these teams are in relegation zone and among them, Granada and Almeria has no hopes while Cadiz is still in fight with Celta Vigo in order to not get relegated. Almeria and Osasuna match running at the moment has almeria already down by 2 goals and I don't see them recovering.
Another game between Getafe and Sevilla was a small surprise as Sevilla won it by 1 goal. But both of these teams are not going anywhere up or down.
Valencia vs Mallorca is the remaining game. And as it's on Valencia's home, they should have an easy win.

With the only goal scored by Ramos in the match against Getafe, Sevilla managed to steal 3 points from this away match and at the same time widened the distance from the relegation zone. The results were quite satisfactory even though there was a risk that Getafe could equalize or reverse the position. But it seems that after the quick goal scored by Ramos in the 5th minute, Sevilla's defense became even stronger and Getafe couldn't penetrate it at all during the 90 minutes.

This proves if ramos is not completely useless for the club. His only goal has been saving sevilla to gather three points and this helps club to climb up to the 14th position to avoid the relegation zone. The decision to recruit him was not too bad, despite his old age, and Ramos still showed a huge contribution to the club.
It's awesome to see how his goal also helped his club to avoid the relegation zone. Twenty matches and three goals. It's good enough for defenders who were still able to contribute some goals to the club.

On the other hand, this is the third defeat in the last 5 matches for Getafe and even though in the previous match they managed to win against Girona, there are times when things like this are beyond predictions. Actually, Getafe is quite favored to win but Sevilla comes with a mentality that makes it very difficult for them to beat them at home.

Yeah, and that's a very bad result. Getafe's position is going down since it was always losing three points. I'm willing to mention how bad Greenwood's performance was. Despite so many news articles about how good he was, I strongly believe he is an overrated player.
Since the middle of the season, Getafe's performance has been declining so much that it is now a toothless club. Literally, this match was quite hard to predict considering the fact that if both were equal.

I mean if we were not counting standing as a factor to determine how strong the club was

Getafe's victory over Girona in their last match did not have a significant impact because the Sevilla team won because they had enough motivation to get 3 points to stay away from the relegation zone.
This is not a surprising result, indeed Sevilla deserved to win this match, they played much more effectively and when they managed to score a goal in the opening minutes of the match the Sevilla team played quite carefully and was very solid in maintaining their lead.

In the last few matches, Getafe's performance has not been very impressive, it seems that they have experienced a decline in performance, but fortunately at the moment they are quite safe in the middle of the table and they also do not have excessive motivation, unlike Sevilla.

Xavi is Barcelona's best addition in years. The club was in ruins when he arrived - financial problems, no enthusiasm. He turned things around by signing Lewandowski and winning trophies. things takes talent and leadership. That metamorphosis wasnt luck.

Im nervous about his departure. With crucial players like Gavi out, not everyone can keep a good team playing well. Maybe the next guy doesnt have that touch. With Real Madrid constantly on your tail... It feels like having a successful recipe, but everything might change in an instant. Barcelona is in such position, which is bad for top-level football fans.

The story you tell is a reality that must be accepted well by Xavi and also by Barcelona fans, because this season all Barcelona fans also know the condition of the team, which is no longer possible to match Real Madrid in strength. And actually I also hope that next season Barcelona can improve again and can also be better than this season in La Liga even though there will be a few touches in the team. Because it would be a shame if a team like Barcelona could experience a downturn in the coming season.

[Volgastallion]

Incredible how always Sevilla manage to destroy all the predictions one can have have about them, they are a machine to do the opposite of what you expect from them. I really thinked the most normal result is gonna be a draw agains Getafe.

About Almeria, going into Laliga2 without breaks.

[Z-tight]

Xavi is too loyal to be Barcelona coach and because of that, I think it was the right decision for Xavi to resign. Because anyway, the financial crisis that Barcelona is going through is really having a bad impact on the management of the team and also the performance of the team.

I think the main reason Xavi resigned is because of the pressure that he is facing as Barcelona boss, especially from the Spanish media and journalists, Xavi has had problems with the press since he became manager and i believe he could not take it anymore. Barca's financial problems also contributed to the Spaniard leaving, but i don't believe that is the main reason he is leaving the club. Barcelona must look for a new manager now, with their limited funds. There is no speculation for now on who will take over from Xavi, but the person is going to have a huge job to do.

Ramos single goal in the 5th minute made Sevilla win 3 points in the game, this season Sevilla's performance is quite bad so it is very natural that they are no longer favored in every game they live, even when against Getafe many of us previously underestimated Sevilla can achieve positive results today, Sevilla's inconsistency in the league is certainly the reason why Sevilla this season has fallen much worse than Getafe which is a team Medioker in the Spanish League, the previous seasons even without Ramos in the squad, we can see if Sevilla can continue to provide resistance and competition in La Liga and I think their achievements in the Europa League so far are proof of how tough Sevilla have always been.

The defeat to Osasuna today made Almeria's suffering even greater, throughout the season Almeria has only been able to win 1 game so far so their chances of being relegated to league 2 next season are in sight, especially now that Almeria is sinking with a distance of 14 points from the safe limit of the relegation zone, and I think it will be very impossible for them to get out of the relegation zone this season with only 8 games left.

Xavi is too loyal to be Barcelona coach and because of that, I think it was the right decision for Xavi to resign. Because anyway, the financial crisis that Barcelona is going through is really having a bad impact on the management of the team and also the performance of the team. So yes, although there will be a transfer window that will open later but still, it is difficult for Barcelona to be able to build a team with great players in the upcoming transfer window. So yes, even if Xavi stays at Barcelona but if Barcelona financial situation is still bad then of course, it is difficult for Xavi to improve the quality of Barcelona and it will never be easy to make Barcelona strong again in the title race.

Xavi Hernandez become most loyal manager for Barcelona and not give huge pressure for management must signing top players, Xavi can adapt well with current financial faced by Barcelona and he was success by winning La Liga tittle although with current financial condition facing. I don't think any new manager will adapt well how bad financial condition from Barcelona and likely seems not comfortable every windowt transfer opening Barcelona always difficult for signing top players.
But Xavi Hernandez journey with Barcelona have been over for this season, he leaves Barcelona for next season after bad respond from management and less respect what achievement so far giving by Xavi.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I think for this problem it is still possible for Barcelona to catch up but with 9 matches remaining and Madrid who still have consistency, the hope is still where Madrid do their job by continuing to play consistently and maintaining the current points margin.

I'm sure we all know that La Liga belongs to Barcelona when Madrid was inconsistent last season, so Barcelona maintained its consistency until the end of the season and won the title last season, likewise this season it looks like it will belong to Madrid, because they are very consistent in La Liga. as well as in the UCL until now, so they really maintain their performance to be able to perform better in every match and get good results, Madrid seems to be working hard for the title this season.

Whether it's a title in the domestic league or in the UCL, it seems that Madrid is chasing one or both, but in the remaining matches until the end of the season it seems difficult for Madrid to make consecutive mistakes that cost them and let Barcelona catch up on the points difference and overtake them, it seems that Barcelona will have to ready and open-minded if in the end Madrid will win the La Liga title this season, but these two teams Barcelona and Madrid also still have hope of winning a title other than La Liga, namely the UCL because as we also know, both of them are clubs full of surprises and also consistent.

Yup, in the end it looks just like previous seasons when Madrid and Barcelona alone were always the deciders in a trophy because even though there are several other clubs but when it comes to title competition, it is Madrid and Barcelona who always get the advantage.
A few seasons ago actually La Liga was quite interesting where there were Atletico who were always one of the other competitors especially when prime Griezmann was so strong but indeed after they tasted the championship in the 2020 season until now Atletico could not maintain their condition and were only always satisfied in the top 4.

Their chances are still very good at this time if indeed the target is the two trophies only in this case it is certainly not an easy matter because after all it can only be obtained if they can continue to be consistent especially for the Champions League at this time they are like being faced with the final because Manchester City is clearly not an easy opponent but if in the end they can beat Manchester City in this quarter final then I think the final guarantee is bigger for them.

I think for this problem it is still possible for Barcelona to catch up but with 9 matches remaining and Madrid who still have consistency, the hope is still where Madrid do their job by continuing to play consistently and maintaining the current points margin.

By looking at the opponents that Madrid will face, it seems that their chance to continue to be consistent and regain the trophy even before the season ends is still very possible because by looking at the schedule for the rest of the season which will soon end Madri is clearly benefited where they will have 5 home and 4 away matches against clubs that are still far from their level except El Clasico and several dark horse clubs that are currently pursuing Europa League positions and even the Champions League for Bilbao.

I think taking this into account does not rule out the possibility that Madrid can continue to get 3 points even during El Clasico, it's just that this needs other considerations when the condition of the players who continue to be suspended can be a problem.

Currently apart from La Liga, Madrid still have a big job where they have to conquer Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals so surely the focus will be more on the Champions League first than La Liga even though this they will definitely still try to get points in La Liga but the main focus is Manchester City which must be the target for them to beat.

With the condition of Madrid who will play home in El Clasico later and with their conditions in domestic competitions that are still very good, the chance for 3 points is clearly very large but for now El Clasico is still quite long and they don't need to pay attention to that first because some matches are quite draining they will still do at this time.
This week they will face Bilbao where they are a dark horse even though Madrid are favorites but still another possibility to draw or lose can still happen if Madrid cannot maximize the advantage of playing home and in the Champions League also they still have to face a tough match against Manchester City so if they lose focus and the players who are suspended have problems it can also be dangerous for Madrid.

[topbitcoin]

Because I see Xavi is a genius future coach and those who say Xavi has to go, they don't know his game. They only criticize things they don't even know about, when Xavi needs the best defensive midfielder he knows what he is talking about and this is just the start, barcelona just needs to bring in the players he wants and be patient in the process because what he is doing right now is not perfect . But now he has decided to leave Barcelona and this decision will not change even if Barcelona wins the UCL title. Xavi's decision to leave Barcelona is final and will not change.

Now it's a little more complicated because seeing Barcelona's previous condition and the pressure continued to be given to Xavi makes him give up now and let whoever will coach Barcelona next season which of course this could backfire again for Barcelona for wasting Xavi who has been very instrumental in lifting Barcelona's performance even to get the trophy back in very difficult conditions.

Now with the previous unchanged statement for Xavi, it is very small for them to be able to keep Xavi even though Laporta is still trying to keep Xavi now but the decision is currently in Xavi's hands and he can leave next season because of the lack of appreciation given by Barcelona to him.
This is obviously very regrettable but there is nothing that can be done at this time because the chance of Xavi changing his decision again is still there but the possibility of Xavi leaving is inevitable for now.

Yes, one of the reasons why he chose to resign from Barcelona's coaching chair was the pressure put on him. Even though pressure is a very normal thing that a coach receives, the problem is that I think the pressure he receives is excessive because Barcelona's situation is also not in a good condition. Maybe it would be very realistic when Barcelona could give Xavi everything he wants, but currently he is not receiving everything he needs, while management is putting pressure on him to achieve.

Barcelona should also adapt to their current situation, because I am sure all coaches will give the best for their club. They will do their best when they don't get what they need, especially if they get what they need, the same thing will definitely happen. If Barcelona continues to do things like this then I'm sure no coach will feel at home, unless they get a high salary and also get everything they need.

Barcelona management will not fire Xavi, because they have to bear compensation if they do, we know that Barcelona is experiencing a serious financial crisis. Xavi decision to resign was indeed very correct, of course there were many reasons that he did not reveal to the media, and the information we got may only be a small part of what actually happened inside Barcelona.

What is clear is that Barcelona management will have difficulty finding a new successor, especially if they are looking for a quality and big-name coach. Apart from that, competition to find a new coach will also be very tight next season, considering that several other big European clubs are also looking for new coaches. If clubs from the SPL join in the competition, it will be increasingly difficult for Barcelona to compete.

Meanwhile, we'll see how far Xavi can take Barcelona to achieve success this season, where their opportunities in the Champions League are more open than in La Liga. If Barcelona can win a trophy, then it can help them gradually get out of the financial crisis. I predict that Xavi will not change his attitude, meaning he will still resign next season.

Instead of being fired, Xavi would be better off resigning, I think that is an inaccurate assumption about Xavi.

Xavi has given his best for Barcelona amidst Barcelona's very poor financial condition. Last season he managed to win two titles for Barcelona, ​​while this season Xavi managed to bring Barcelona to compete in the Champions League quarter-finals. This is a respectable improvement for Xavi, I say that because of the current condition of the Barcelona squad which is filled with loan players and academy players.

It's not easy to be Barcelona coach, even when they have good finances. Of course there are higher demands from him, but that is not logical considering that Xavi has difficulty building his squad without strong financial support. Unlike Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, these two teams tend to have good financial strength.

Xavi's current position is no longer comfortable and I think his decision to resign at the end of the season is very appropriate because he was not supported by the Barcelona management to build this team well, but instead the team management set a high target and in fact some of the news about Xavi's last time in blame for Barcelona's decline in performance this season.
The arrival of another coach next season does not guarantee that Barcelona's performance will be able to improve and it could even be worse.

Xavi Hernandez since he became the manager of Barcelona have actually performed well despite the limited resources at the club that's stopped them from signing quality outfield players. He's been able to maximize the team's  players but despite all his hard works at the club, they're still far from becoming the kind of team he wants to build and that's because the financial crises at the club has stopped him from getting the desired players he needs to achieve his aim.
The young Spanish manager have now decided to leave the club and probably go to a club that'll be ready to sign players he wants to build his team with. Xavi Hernandez will leave Barcelona at the end of the season and judging by what he said, the former Barcelona player will certainly leave Barcelona at the end of the season even if the club end the season with the UEFA Champions League trophy

Correct. It is unfortunate that many people blame Xavi for Barcelona's decline this season or more precisely their failure to defend the La Liga title. because currently it is almost impossible for them to catch up on points from Real Madrid. However, Xavi still has the opportunity to win the UCL League trophy. Xavi will concentrate fully on this competition and of course will give his best for Barcelona this season before leaving Barcelona.

However, what is certain is that Barcelona's decline this season is not necessarily Xavi's fault. However, individual mistakes, player injuries and players who are not performing well like Lewa are also factors that have damaged this season. Barcelona should give Xavi another season with good players and fewer injuries, then see how he dominates. However, Xavi has made the decision to leave Barcelona, maybe that is the best choice for Xavi.

sometimes someone criticizes a team just by looking at its bad performance without seeing from the other side that Barcelona has also managed to get into the quarter finals of the UCL and all this would not have been possible for Barcelona if they didn't have Xavi, who can now make things easier for Barcelona close to this prestigious title even though there is pressure from injured players but the fact is that Xavi can still rotate players perfectly.
Gavi and De Jong are important players that Xavi has and these two players are very reliable to be able to help Barcelona win every match, but we'll see how Xavi can maintain consistency without his mainstay players.

Barcelona can achieve a difference of 7 points with 8 matches remaining, at least they can get 4 wins. Barcelona can overtake Real Madrid, but it still won't be that easy. when Madrid has the opportunity to win the title this season, Ancelotti will not waste this opportunity.

[Falconer]

Barcelona is still having great difficulty scoring goals against Las Palmas. They scored a goal, but unfortunately it was offside which the referee later disallowed after reviewing VAR. Las Palmas went down to 10 men after their goalkeeper saw a red card for a hard foul on Raphinha, but Barcelona haven't really been at their best so far in the first half.

Raphinha, Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez had goal opportunities, but the three of them still failed to score until the end of the first half. Maybe there will be a change in strategy in mind in the second half because Barcelona's attacks so far have been completely ineffective. They only made 3 good chances, even if they dominated this match completely.

It's bizarre to see Xavi leaves because I dont see any other manager suits Barcelona better than Xavi. His decision to resign at the end of the season is intriguing. He has done his best with a league title, but it seems that he hasn't received the necessary support from the club's management to build the team effectively. The board has set high expectations, which could be Champions League trophy, without providing the necessary resources or support.

I think it's unfair that Xavi to face criticism for Barcelona's decline in performance this season. The reality is that the problems at the club run deeper than just the coach. Whoever the coach next season may bring about change, but it's not a guarantee that Barcelona's performance will improve. In fact, without addressing the underlying issues within the club, there's a risk that the situation could worsen. What Barcelona needs is not just a change in coaching staff, but a comprehensive overhaul of their approach, including better management strategies and investment in the team. Only then can they hope to return to their former glory.

[tiCeR]

Real Madrid is playing very well this season and they were also able to bring in new players when they out of a sudden had to deal with injuries. Both Courtois and Vinicius Junior are key players ad while they found a great solution for Courtois, which was hard enough, it was difficult to do the same for Vinicius Junior when he was injured. But he is back and living up to his full potential. Barcelona won't get close to them, but to put it in a nutshell whether there is still a chance for the title race to become close, it will all be about matchday 32. The clasico will decide whether there is going to be some fighting until the end.

Form always determines the success of any squad. Real Madrid is in good condition this season, and there is not much doubt that they will win the La Liga, since I do not believe Barcelona will be able to compete with them. Real Madrid is already eight points ahead of Barcelona, and they defeated Barcelona in the first leg. With Real Madrid's current form and the points gap they already have, I don't think the El Clasico will determine whether Barcelona can succeed or not, but they should be able to close the gap on Madrid due to their inconsistent play.

Obviously you are wrong about this one. There are plenty of examples when teams that are in top shape and play very well still can get eliminated from any competition. It is highly unlikely in the domestic league though as the team with the best form has the highest probability of averaging more wins than any other team over a large number of games. But in the Champions League or national cups like the Copa del Rey, it is not only about form and it doesn't always determine success. A far weaker team can land a lucky punch any time and eliminate a huge favorite from a tournament. Atletico Madrid would not beat Inter Milan very often in two games, but this time they did. However, their form was certainly no good indicator of their advancement to the next round.

it is not that easy and I think most people familiar with football know that. The leagues have so many games that the best team usually wins. But the other competitions are kind of driven by their own set of rules.

The arrival of another coach next season does not guarantee that Barcelona's performance will be able to improve and it could even be worse.

Barcelona management wants to support him but they have no money to sign top players to build the team. Xavi may feel uncomfortable because he can do the best with Barcelona team. I think he already did the best, but he may not satisfied with his own work. I can understand this because Xavi was a part of most successful Barcelona team. So, he doesn't want to see Barcelona as a weak team which can't compete for the title. Recently, I heard the rumor that Barcelona management will try to negotiate with him to stay in Barcelona. We don't how the final decision of Xavi, let's wait for until the end of the season.

I don't think Barcelona management blames Xavi for the failure of Barcelona. They must be aware that it is also caused by the crisis financial, so Xavi couldn't find the ideal players that he wants. He can't build a team as expected. In this way, it makes sense that Barcelona can't win any title.
