La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[entertheabyss]

What I mean is that Real Madrid has the upper hand to beat Barcelona in the El Classico because Real Madrid is more consistent than Barcelona this season. El Classico will always be interesting to watch in La Liga because Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two strongest clubs in La Liga, and fans will be interested to see who will win between them when they play against each other in La Liga.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona is one of the tough game to watch this season and I'm never going to mixed my working schedule with key matches because they always comes with busy actions and leading one into the faith of losing gambles. The EL Clasico is closer than expected and Barcelona should prepare themselves for the huge tasks ahead. It will be total off point and embarrassing for Barcelona if they fail to beat Real Madrid.

The 23/24 season is coming to an end. Madrid have been rumoured with rumours of Mbaape's arrival. In addition, PSG have also been seen to play Mbaape not in full time. It seems that Enrique is starting to adapt to other players. In fact, he started building PSG with young players for long-term progress. I hope Ancelloti doesn't throw away productive players when Mbaape comes. Like Rodrygo, he has been very good this season. Maybe the one who should go is Joselu. He couldn't prove Anceloti's trust.

It is an old rumor, we already many times read about Mbappe news to join Real Madrid.
Well, it may come true because Mbappe is free now, PSG can't force him anymore. His contract with PSG will end this year, he can leave PSG for free. Sure, it seems Mbappe really leaves PSG, Enrique begins to replace his role with another player.

No, Rodrygo and other young attackers will stay in Real Madrid. Mbappe will play as a stiker, Real Madrid only has 1 striker now. So, there is no problem when Mbappe comes to Real Madrid.

Overall this season, Barcelona's performance is not better than Real Madrid, but now Barcelona's performance has improved a lot compared to the start of the season, making it possible for them to be able to provide fierce resistance and even the El Clasico match is a match for great prestige between the two teams. so that no matter what the conditions, the team will still provide a fierce match here.

El Clasico is also a determinant for Barcelona to still have hope in the competition for the La Liga title this season, even though it is tough, the deciding factor will be the El Clasico match in the next few weeks.

There has been a lot of improvement in the Barcelona team, I mean looking back at how they were staggering when the league was new and now you will see a lot of differences in the team now. The El classico is usually a big game for Madrid and Barcelona but why I feel Barcelona is likely to win is because Real Madrid is topping the league with eight points now and they feel so comfortable with the lead as their attention will be more focused on the crucial Champions league match between them and Manchester City so they may see the El classico as of less importance for now and Barcelona needs this winning the most to be able to close the gap a bit so it might go in Barcelona's favour.

[Raflesia]

What you said is true, we should be realistic this season not to compare Barcelona with Madrid, Barcelona's financial situation makes them not as free as they used to be in strengthening the squad, but even so Madrid should not underestimate Barcelona because of course they will also provide a strong fight in the El Classico match later, the rivalry between the two teams has now slackened since Messi and Ronaldo left both teams even though El Classico is still Considered a match full of prestige for both teams but without these two players El Classico no longer presents a hot and controversial match in my opinion, besides that Barcelona' financial problems so far certainly make Madrid can now dominate the victory over Barcelona in recent seasons.

Regardless of how the conditions of these two clubs they are still rivals who should not underestimate each other so Madrid knows this because if they try to underestimate the condition of Barcelona only with financial conditions alone it is a mistake and last season should be proof that with Barcelona's shortcomings they are still able to win the La Liga trophy. League trophy with all its limitations but for now by looking at the difference in points currently created between Barcelona and Madrid it would not be wrong to say that this season the La Liga trophy will again belong to Madrid even though there is currently only an 8 point gap between them and the match still leaves about 8 more matches but expect Madrid to lose in 3 consecutive matches even though the schedule is quite heavy I expect Madrid to lose in 3 consecutive matches. Although the schedule is quite heavy I think this is still too difficult to expect.

I think it's not a surprise that Barcelona having big improvement lately. The drop in performances in the early season is proven by the injuries of their important players while they don't have a good quality of squad depth. Those injuries made Xavi has to put some players out of their original positions that hinder their tactical prowess. Having full team of regular starters makes Xavi easy to execute his tactical plan flawlessly.

The gap of 8-points may be a bit far to chase a strong Real Madrid side, but el clasico game can be a turnaround that can provide the chance to closing the gap. Both Barcelona and Madrid have UCL fixture to focus, but the pressure is more on Madrid because they have to face a really strong team, defending champion Manchester City,. Maybe this could be a slight advantage for Barcelona to keep pushing their chance to chase Madrid. I think Barcelona having less pressure because losing in R8 won't be a big blow for Barcelona for now.

Amazing.
Copa del Rey

Until the last minute, neither Athletic Club nor Mallorca had added a goal. And in the end, penalty shootouts took place to determine which one won the Copa del Rey this season.

And the result is: 4 - 2 (penalty shootout)
Congratulations to Athletic Club

They were extraordinary, both of them competed very optimally. however, there was only 1 winner, and that was Athletic Club

Exactly, Barcelona had to use another strategy when several of its main players were injured, this is what made it difficult for Barcelona to be first. At least Barcelona has tried to give its best to stay in second place on the standings. There is no longer a chance for Barcelona to catch up on the points they are left behind. Hopefully the injured Barcelona players will recover soon and contribute again to making Barcelona champions.

Regardless of how the conditions of these two clubs they are still rivals who should not underestimate each other so Madrid knows this because if they try to underestimate the condition of Barcelona only with financial conditions alone it is a mistake and last season should be proof that with Barcelona's shortcomings they are still able to win the La Liga trophy.

Although the schedule is quite heavy I think this is still too difficult to expect.

In essence, Barcelona only needs to focus on securing full points in the remaining matches ahead, regardless of how Real Madrid finishes this season. Points will be deducted automatically if Real Madrid loses or draws, and what Barcelona needs to do is maintain its own consistency. The El Clasico match is one of the deciding ones, of all the remaining matches this season, and the match will be a tough test for both teams. Expecting Real Madrid to drop points makes sense, but it won't be useful if Barcelona themselves also drop points.

Ancelotti really understands the pressure towards the end of the season, so he will not underestimate any team in maintaining their chances of winning a trophy this season. Barcelona is still a big team that has the potential to disrupt Real Madrid path to winning trophies this season, Xavi squad will continue to apply pressure until the season ends. Even though they are currently hit by a financial crisis, Barcelona is able to appear dominant as a tough competitor for Real Madrid. If Juan Laporta can bring Barcelona out of this difficult situation, Real Madrid will again find eternal rivals with equal strength in La Liga.

Copa del Rey final match is being played between Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca with the first half almost finished.
The surprising part is that Mallorca are leading with 1 goal scored in the 21th minute by Rodriguez although Bilbao are dominating and trying to get more attempts.
I don't think personally that this result will remain in the second half and I assume Bilbao will score at least a goal, well hopefully!

Yes, this was quite surprising because Mallorca took the lead in the first half. However, in the second half, Bilbao was able to equalize the score to 1 - q from a goal by Sancet. Anyway, the final match of the Copa Del Rey turned out to be very interesting. the match was very exciting and tough. Kudos to Mallorca.

Athletic Bilbao scored a goal as expected and were able to play penalties and win that game with difficulty.
Final score was 1 - 1 and 4 - 2 after penalties thanks to their goalkeeper saving one.
Athletic Bilbao were able to get that title after like 30 years not winning it so they should be happy especially that they were being kicked from the competition after losing in it.

Exactly, Barcelona had to use another strategy when several of its main players were injured, this is what made it difficult for Barcelona to be first. At least Barcelona has tried to give its best to stay in second place on the standings. There is no longer a chance for Barcelona to catch up on the points they are left behind. Hopefully the injured Barcelona players will recover soon and contribute again to making Barcelona champions.

Xavi has got a fair rotational strategy that will most definitely help them be able to get to scale through the period of time when their key players has gotten injuries but then it isn't such that can actually be really maintained long enough as they will most likely get to the point where they will exhaust their rotation and they will have to get their key players to be able to maintain productivity and a good position on the table too aswell.

Talking about catching up with the points they did failed to get at the beginning of the season which has gotten them the second position they are currently, is something they can't really achieve again this season probably until maybe next season because the point difference both teams has got , is way very far such that the team at the top can never get to allow them come to get ahead of them because they have been very far away from them much more that they are may just have to let go till next season when they will have all the time to fix all their weakness and get a better form to stand against other teams in the la Liga.

But then Barcelona happened to be the defending champions of these la Liga and so much was actually expected of them this season and they have been able to still try their best to make it to the second position despite all the ups and downs so they could be said to have tried their best aswell and are able to get to the point they are and will still qualify for the champions league again by next season, the only difference is in the fact that the point difference is just too much.

Although the schedule is quite heavy I think this is still too difficult to expect.

Barcelona have struggled to challenge Real Madrid this season as much as they use to do over the years and that's because of the club have been experiencing financial issues which have restricted them from signing as much world class players players as they should've signed in the transfer market for the past four transfer windows. But despite all the challenges that Barcelona is facing, it's not stopped them from being Real Madrid's biggest rivals in the league. Barcelona won the league title last season but are very unlikely to repeat it again this season because Real Madrid who happens to be at the top of the league at the moment is in a very good form and ahead of them with eight points.
Barcelona's biggest problem at the moment is finding a manager that'll replace their current manager Xavi Hernandez who'll leave the club after the end of the current season. Getting manager that'll be able to manage Barcelona as much as Xavi Hernandez have done since he took over the managerial position at the club will be very difficult if you ask me.

The main reason for the improvement in Barcelona was because of Xavi being under more pressure and that's surprising to see this happening in Barcelona. Usually, when you put a coach under pressure they will have a weaker performance and they won't have a good performance anymore but we saw before the game against Napoli in the Champions League when they put Xavi under pressure and they said Xavi would leave the team at the end this season, they had much better performance. They even tried to choose another coach while they had Xavi working in Barcelona
Now it seems Barcelona is even trying to make Xavi stay in the team because of the good performance he had but it seems this time Xavi wants to leave.

Barcelona is able to continue its winning streak in La Liga, this is proven by their level of concentration to stay in second place and take advantage of the opportunity to stick closely to real madrid if Real madrid loses points in the remaining match this season. Of course, strategy is the most important thing that coaches have to think about when their main players are absent and xavi has succeeded in doing this by bringing victory and victory. There is indeed very little chance for barcelona to overtake real madrid because currently Real madrid is 8 points ahead of barcelona who is in second place.

Barcelona must focus on the Champions League, especially since they will be facing a team that is quite strong and this is where the most effective strategy is needed to beat PSG. The first leg will take place at psg home ground where barcelona will most likely find it difficult to beat PSG. But they can play well and look for a draw in this match because the second leg will take place at Barcelona headquarters and that's where they can try to beat psg.

Barcelona still has many great players from its academy and i think that this could be alternative solution to fix the injured problems encountered by barcelona. The main problem whether club will still able to maintain it, but Real Madrid has dominated this season. We can't deny that if the league competition is about how consistently you can get three points in any matches. Barcelona has done so poorly in the middle of the season.
Without a doubt, if Real Madrid is now taking care of it, it must have performed better than before. I believe Barcelona must accept that it will not win any more trophies this season because Real Madrid owns La Liga.
Barcelona's chances of winning a trophy are slim at the moment. I don't doubt it. I believe that if we also discuss which factors influence Barcelona's ranking below Real Madrid, there are many variables that are difficult to explain.

The limited number of players that Barcelona has and injuries to these important players is what caused Barcelona to experience difficulties in the race for the La Liga title at first so they lost good opportunities which they missed in several matches but now Barcelona's condition is starting to improve but it seems a little too late to catch Real Madrid in the title race because the difference in points with the top of the standings is quite far so that it is quite impossible for Barcelona to catch it for the rest of the season.

Barcelona's current position is in 2nd place and has overtaken Girona which is now in 3rd place, at least Barcelona must maintain its runner up position so that it doesn't look bad because Barcelona was the La Liga champion last season, at least being in 2nd place below Real Madrid is not a bad situation bad, but Barcelona also has to be careful because Girona is also trying to return to second place if Barcelona is careless and loses several matches.

The El Clasico match between Barcelona vs Real Madrid might be a revenge event for Barcelona, but if they are able to beat Real Madrid, which has a stronger squad than Barcelona, but Xavi's tactics also cannot be underestimated, which can sometimes create surprises and if Barcelona being able to beat Real Madrid will narrow the gap between the two.

Despite the fact that Barcelona have experienced many injuries on their players since the start of the season, that has not stopped them from performing well in the Spanish La Liga thanks to the club manager Xavi Hernandez's solid tactical approaches, management and rotation of the team. But the problem the club is going to experience now is the fact that Xavi Hernandez will leave the club at the end of the season. Getting Xavi Hernandez's replacement will be a very difficult task for Barcelona for you ask me because every top manager out there will want to manage a team that's capable of signing world class and quality players which I don't think Barcelona can do at the moment because of their current financial crises. They're in the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition and would have to beat French champions Paris Saint Germaine to progress to the next stage of the competition.

[KTChampions]

I don't think so at all. Real has already taken revenge from Barcelona for last season and Barcelona does not look like a significant opponent for Real. If Real can qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals, then they will be 100% focused on the Champions League as the next title will be within arm's reach. Another question is if Real finish their performance in the Champions League at the 1/4 stage: then they will either be burnt out because they lost to City again or they will be angry and then I don’t envy Barcelona. But as you can see, if we assume that all outcomes have equal probability, then the chance of seeing a motivated Real Madrid is 25%.

Yeah, if Real Madrid qualify for the semifinals in the Champions League, maybe they will be more careful against Barcelona but that doesn't mean that Real Madrid will just miss the match I mean they also don't want to be embarrassed if they lose at home and there is dignity in the match so in my opinion the worst result for Real Madrid is a draw, not a loss. In other matches, it might not matter if Real Madrid lose because it has no impact on their position at the top of the standings but this time the opponent is Barcelona, it is clear there is history that you don't want to miss.

If we check the betting market, currently Real Madrid is favored by bookies the odds are 1.78 for Real Madrid to win yeah, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will win, but the betting market is usually an important indicator. If Real Madrid can win this match then Real Madrid is finished this season, I mean there are no significant obstacles ahead.

The Real Madrid double chance bet does look like a safe bet, but the odds are quite small - 1.18. It seems to me that the profit is not worth the risk, maybe BTTS is even the best choice since the odds are 1.51. But in any case, we need to see how the quarterfinals of the Champions League end, for example, if Barcelona is eliminated (high probability), they will have increased motivation to prove at least something. About Real Madrid everything is more and more random, I’ve already written down my thoughts.

[bering]

For Copa Del Rey match yesterday surprisingly Mallorca can able to performing well that they even can scored in the first half but Bilbao didn't fanic because after that goal Bilbao players is still attempts to taking over the game and create some opportunities to scores goals and in the second half finally Bilbao can equalized the score from Oihan Sancet and after this goal Mallorca seems has decide to playing more defensive because seems they want to ended this game with the penalty kick but Bilbao performing more good than them and some of Mallorca's players missed penalty kicks and Bilbao win this match

Ernesto Valverde is really successfully to makes Bilbao performing better this season because at Laliga this team is still consistent at top 5 and in Copa Del Rey too he can able to bringing Bilbao to gets the trophy and Bilbao journey in this competition is not easy because before reach to the final match Bilbao have to eliminate strong teams just like Barcelona at quarterfinal and Atletico Madrid in the semifinal match and Ernesto Valverde was very satisfied with this achievement because finally after 40 years Bilbao can lifted this trophy again and this is new history for Bilbao

[Google+]

Athletic Bilbao scored a goal as expected and were able to play penalties and win that game with difficulty.
Final score was 1 - 1 and 4 - 2 after penalties thanks to their goalkeeper saving one.
Athletic Bilbao were able to get that title after like 30 years not winning it so they should be happy especially that they were being kicked from the competition after losing in it.

Bilbao managed to end the Copa del Rey title fast after 30 years, I thought before Bilbao would win easily because against Mallorca who actually had a level below Bilbao so far, but it turned out that despite playing aggressively since the game started but Bilbao struggled to score in the game and even they had to concede first from Mallorca and force Bilbao to continue to improve the attack to be able to equalize the score,  The 1-1 score did look quite strange when both teams had almost 30 (Bilbao) and 13 (Mallorca) chances in scoring and even as favorites, Bilbao managed to control almost 70% of possession in the match but indeed the attack and defense of both teams deserve our thumbs up in the match.

By winning the Copa del Rey this season, of course, Bilbao already has one automatic ticket to qualify for the Europa League next season and wouldn't it also benefit the Spanish League to send more than 4 teams to European competitions If Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico Madrid can win the Champions League this season, currently Bilbao is fighting for a position in the Champions League next season and they are competing with Atletico Madrid who are in the top 4 Now, if later Bilbao can get a ticket to the Champions League, will their Europa League ticket through the Copa del Rey be forfeited or even given to another team like Mallorca who are runners up of the Copa del Rey now?

[Solokan]

Barcelona in their last match was successful against Las Palmas in Laliga with a score of 1-0, but actually I think the result with a score of 1-0 was less than satisfactory, but yes, even though the result was 1-0, of course Barcelona managed to get 3 points and win the match. but now it looks like Xavi must be ready to set strategy so that Barcelona will perform well in the next match.

In the next match, of course, Barcelona will compete in the Champions League against PSG and I think PSG is a tough opponent, PSG's players are very good. but I heard the news that Frenkie de Jong has recovered from his injury and I also don't know whether he is 100% recovered or not, but I heard that Frenkie de Jong has the potential to play against PSG later. but honestly I hope that in the match against PSG in the Champions League, Frenkie de Jong can play for Barcelona. I am sure that if Frenkie plays in this match it will make Barcelona's performance even better.

Barcelona's match against PSG in the Champions League is really a match to look forward to, I can't wait for this match.
