La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[shield132]

Real Madrid have now reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and of course Bayern Munich will be a difficult opponent for them later, but when you say Madrid no longer care about the game against Barcelona, obviously you are very wrong man, because againts barcelona very important for Ancelotti to be able to grab the two remaining trophies for Madrid this season.  Throughout the season Madrid have been fighting to reach the top of La Liga, then when they are only one step away from winning the La Liga trophy why do you think they will let it go this season?

In my opinion this match is clearly very important, even if it's not to confirm the La Liga trophy, but fighting Barcelona is about pride. The two of them have become eternal rivals so playing without any reason for a trophy will definitely show each other's best performance, especially since this is still in a competition where 3 points means a lot to both of them. Barcelona needs to be further away in points from Girona and Madrid too, having more points automatically means Madrid has more time to prepare for the UCL competition where the opponents are strong teams. Bayern Munich in Tuchel hands reminded him of when he was still at Chelsea and facing Madrid in the UCL. Tuchel seems to have been given another opportunity to take revenge but with a different team and squad.

Yes, this match is very important for both teams, it's El Clasico after all and this match is more than a football match, Madrid is the capital of Spain and Barcelona is the capital of the autonomous community of Catalonia. Catalan people don't like being a part of Spain, so El Clasico is here to show which one has the best team.
Real Madrid's point is 78, Barca's point is 70. At the moment Barca wants the most to win this match, especially when it already lost against PSG and at the moment La Liga is the latest important thing that it still can to win.
As a Barca fan, I hope that Barca wins but I have to admit that Real Madrid is too strong right now.

[Richbased]

yep, that's right. everything you say is true that Real Madrid is currently a little comfortable even though they only have an 8 point difference with Barcelona, but even though they will lose it still won't change the position of these two teams and I think Ancelotti as Madrid coach prefers to keep physical players who can be relied on at the UCL.
In the El Clasico match, I am sure that Real Madrid will get a winning result even though they only use second tier players, because in the previous several meetings, Madrid was still able to beat Barcelona and the worst result in the El Clasico match will be a draw and I want to guess that Vinic will only will sit on the bench.

8 points is too much for Real Madrid, they will not allow anyone to get close enough to question their championship. There are still a few days before the match, this will be enough for Real to recover after the match with City, and Barcelona will also not be in the best condition after the defeat to PSG. And besides, the match will take place in Madrid, so I don’t think that Barcelona has a chance to win this match.

Barcelona is still in shock of what PSG did to them, and they might not be able to put themselves together to bring out the best in them. Real Madrid will be motivated the more in this match, because they will not want Barcelona to make them drop point. Their frontline is strong compare to Barcelona.

I know that Barcelona have picked form, and they might also want to let Madrid to know that they can win the game, if only they can outsmart Real Madrid strategy and take it as an advantage to win the match. I don't think that even if Barcelona play the best they can, that they will win the match, the highest that they can do is to draw the match and share points. Madrid is still the favorite to win because the match is taking place in their home.

You need to understand that Regardless of the fact that Barcelona is in shock of not advancing to the next stages of the champions league, they will try their possible best to delay Real Madrid opportunity to have an advantage of having an easy way to the trophy and Barcelona will play the El classico with so much anger while Real Madrid will play with all confidence that even if they lose to Barcelona that they still gonna maintain the top of the table but with how strong Real Madrid have become it will be difficult to just gamble their chances of clinching closer to the trophy.

Important el clasico match, for Barcelona make pressure and want to get opportunity for winning la liga although small chance if success defeat Real madrid still get remaining 5 points left. Manage the first position awhile and get benefit has 8 points left, Madrid want to make La Liga over without waiting until the end of games week, actually Real Madrid will make easily for several matches later if can get three points against Barcelona and make remaining 11 points left.
Barcelona won't give up with small chance for winning La Liga, have eliminated in champion league and want to get chance by winning domestic league and won't get disappointed in this season without winning tittle yet.

[Fausto Arta]

This week will be a very interesting week because this week we will witness the match between two eternal rivals, Real Madrid vs Barcelona. Yes, it is the El Clasico match that is awaited every season. This match is one of the biggest matches in La LIga, and always provides a very hot atmosphere when they meet.

Real Madrid is in very good condition after they successfully advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League after beating Manchester City. On the other hand, Barcelona is not in a good condition after they lost to Paris Saint Germain with a landslide score too.

This match will take place at Real Madrid's headquarters, Santiago Bernabeu. This is an advantage for them to play in front of their own supporters. Real Madrid is the favorite to win this match, but Barcelona still has a chance. I hope I can see a very hot game from these two teams.

Of course, this tie is going to be very interesting but difficult tie for both Real Madrid and Barcelona and might also turnout to be the determining factor for the league's winner considering the fact that Madrid is already at the top of the table with 8point and may increase it to 11 if they finally beat their rivals this weekend. On the other hand, Barcelona are trailing real Madrid and if they happen to beat real Madrid then they would have reduced the deficit thereby making the league  title still open for more surprises.I don't think the outcome of the champions League quarter finals would have any negative impact on either the teams except for fatigue that could be an inevitable issue as a result of the timing of these and their sudden nature.

Yes, Madrid currently leads the standings with 78 points. Barcelona is right behind them with a difference of 8 points. Madrid has met Barcelona twice this season, and always won. Madrid will stay away and increase their chances of winning if they are able to beat their rival again in the next matchIn the 11th week of this season, Madrid won 2-1 at home to Barcelona. Having fallen behind by Ilkay Gundogan's goal in the 6th minute, Madrid turned around to win through Jude Bellingham's goals in the 68th minute and 90+2Madrid and Barcelona this season also met in the Supercopa de Espana final. Madrid won 4-1 through Vinicius Junior's hat trick and one goal from Rodrygo. Barcelona could only score 1 goal through the action of Robert Lewandowski.

[TheGreatPython]

This match will be the last chance for Barcelona to maintain their chances in La Liga. If they lose to Real Madrid, it can be assumed that they will lose their chance to win the La Liga trophy this season. Obviously, this will not be an easy match for them because they will be playing as guests. Apart from that, Real Madrid can be said to be in their best performance. Real Madrid just got their win in the Champions League, while Barcelona suffered defeat and they had to be eliminated from the Champions League.

Even we have 7 matches remaining with 8 points difference is not too much but still I have strong feeling most chances Real Madrid will win title and things will be favourable for them to have done better job as they are doing in this season and Barcelona which were on good recovery suddenly having big below after losing Champions League game at home against PSG, so there are no too many hopes for the win of title because they already lost their chances.

Barcelona which is facing many issues on and off the field needs to be regrouped themselves for the next season with they are also needed few new quality players which can give them better results and improvement in quality, but things are not going positive for them while they are having internal issues, but derbies are mostly had their own way of entertainment, and we are going to watch another in coming days.

Athletic Club vs Granada CF

Athletic Club StartXI: 4-2-3-1
Unai Simón; Óscar de Marcos; Daniel Vivian; Aitor Paredes; Yuri Berchiche; Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta; Unai Gómez; Iñaki Williams; Oihan Sancet; Nico Williams; Gorka Guruzeta

Granada CF StartXI: 4-4-2
Augusto Batalla; Bruno Méndez; Miguel Rubio; Ignasi Miquel; Carlos Neva; Facundo Pellistri; Sergio Ruiz Alonso; Gerard Gumbau; Kamil Jóźwiak; Gonzalo Villar; Lucas Boyé

Considering that Bilbao is still in its best trend at this moment, so when Bilbao plays at home against Granada, which is just in the relegation zone, of course it makes me very confident that Bilbao will win easily. But yes,the reality is not as easy as imagined because after all, Granada actually had a goal first even though it was only through an own goal but still, having a goal first was a surprise for team like Granada at this moment . After all, in reality Bilbao really dominated this match but even so, in reality it is still difficult for Bilbao to score many goals in this match. But yes, I hope that over time Bilbao really succeeds in scoring more goals and winning in this home match.

[dezoel]

The 3 matches that I would consider as matches that might be easy to predict on matchday 32 are the following 3 matches.
- Bilbao vs Granada
- Girona vs Cadiz
- Almeria vs Villarreal.

Bilbao with their current performance and also with the motivation to return to the top 4 will encourage Bilbao not to waste the match against Granada. For the Girona vs Cadiz match, I think it is quite clear who is better between Girona and Cadiz's performance. Meanwhile, for the Almeria vs Villareal match, I also think Villareal can beat Almeria. Because this season Almeria is having difficulty winning and has only won 1 win in 31 matches this season.

Bilbao lost points in the last 2 matches in Laliga because they were lost from Real Madrid and draw against Villarreal last week and if they want to pursuing Atletico Madrid for Champion League spots then Bilbao have to bounce back immediatelly and this is the right time because today Bilbao opponent is just Granada and we all know Granada is so weak this season even they will going to be relegated to Segunda division so it's not required more to analysis because obviously Bilbao is much better compared to them and my prediction is Bilbao will be able to win this match and collect 3 points and for the final scores probably 1-0 or 2-1 for Bilbao but recently i have checked the odds for both teams and i can see the bookmakers provide low odds for Bilbao win @1.30 and i am not really sure this odds is deserve or not to bets

Now due to recent poor performance Athletic Bilbao is lost their chances for the Champions League because things are clearly not favourable for them because in remaining matches we have no challenging thing for the Atlético Madrid and Athletic Bilbao is going to visit Madrid which will surely widen the difference of points and also give advantage to Atlético Madrid for their chances to go through for the Champions League but in this season we have good performance from the Athletic Bilbao which is encouraging and with this we can expect they will strongly perform in coming season, and we will have better competition for the top spots.

Girona is also already stay for the top four and if we have some improvement in Barcelona then La Liga could be more interesting to watch as we will have the good number of teams those will go for the title race and competition will be give quality to fans watch this and enjoy this all.

[kawetsriyanto]

I agree with you. Real Madrid will go all out to beat Barcelona. I think this will be an important moment for them because if Madrid is able to beat Barcelona then they will be 11 points ahead of Barcelona in second place. This will further secure first place for them.

No doubt Real Madrid will try to beat Barcelona with their best. Sure, it is an important match for Real Madrid, winning the match may secure their position in the 1st place. If Real Madrid win the match, the point gap will be 11 points and it will be quite difficult to catch by Barcelona because there will be 5 remaining matches only.

The Champions League will be played on May 1. That means Madrid will have sufficient rest time after playing Barca.

Indeed. The match will be in the early of next month, there is enough time to take a rest. I think it won't be a problem to play all out against Barcelona before the match against Bayern Munich in UCL.

Yes, Madrid currently leads the standings with 78 points. Barcelona is right behind them with a difference of 8 points. Madrid has met Barcelona twice this season, and always won. Madrid will stay away and increase their chances of winning if they are able to beat their rival again in the next match.

They are leading with 8 points but it may be not secure if Barcelona can win the match. The point gap will be 5 points, Barcelona may have a chance to catch Real Madrid if Real Madrid lose again the next match. Real Madrid should avoid this possibility, they will try to win the match. So, I agree that Real Madrid chance to win the title is higher if they win the El Clasico.

Real Madrid have now reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and of course Bayern Munich will be a difficult opponent for them later, but when you say Madrid no longer care about the game against Barcelona, obviously you are very wrong man, because againts barcelona very important for Ancelotti to be able to grab the two remaining trophies for Madrid this season.  Throughout the season Madrid have been fighting to reach the top of La Liga, then when they are only one step away from winning the La Liga trophy why do you think they will let it go this season?

I don't think Bayern Munich will be a difficult opponent for Real Madrid in the semi-finals because I believe Real Madrid are performing better than them this season and since real madrid has come to the semi-finals, I don't think Munich can defeat them because only Manchester City can give real madrid a tough game and madrid eliminated them in the quarter-finals, which means Munich can't defeat madrid so easily and the biggest thing is that Bayer Munich are coming to face madrid for there stadium for the second leg, and he won't be easy to defeat madrid at home in the UCL. Real Madrid will like to get the both trophy this season the league and the champions league trophy, and i believe on them, they will do there best an in the  both competitions this season.

If you look at the current La Liga standings, of course you know how important the match against Barcelona is this week, currently Madrid is at the top of the standings and they are only 8 points separated from Barcelona in the second rank, so inevitably Madrid must take the match very seriously so that at least they are no longer chased in the remaining matches,  I think for now Ancelotti will not underestimate Barcelona in order to give Madrid two trophies this season.

Madrid will not like to lose against Barcelona this weekend because they don't want the point to be closer because the season is not finished and anything can happen, and they won't try to make any mistakes thematic that can cause them to lose or draw against Barcelona this weekend. I believe with Ancelotti he won't mess up in the game, but I notice some of Real Madrid's players are tired since the match against Manchester City, and I think Ancelotti will beach some of his key players. But Ancelotti needs to put some squad to prevent losses because as I see Barcelona, they are unhappy since PSG eliminated them in the Champions League they will like to revenge against madrid this weekend, but he won't be and easy task for them.

[MAAManda]

The team that is waiting for the classico more than Real and Barcelona could be Girona. Because if Real Madrid wins, which many people do expect them to win, then it means the points difference between Barcelona and Girona will come down to just a single game.

This is why I believe that they are going to try their very best to make sure that things go as well as they hope. If Barcelona wins, then it is not going to change anything for anyone, it is still Real as title winner in the end and Barcelona second place, but if Barcelona loses then Girona will smell blood and they will try their best to get that position. Lets be honest, Girona had a good season but how many seasons could they have like this, we all know next season they will not be even remotely similar.

It all depends on them too, before El Classico, Girona must face Cadiz first. And their match against Cadiz should be an easy 3 points considering this is their home match and Cadiz has also not had an impressive performance this season.

Girona also can't underestimate Cadiz because they're a bottom team, currently Cadiz is in the relegation transition zone, which means they still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone and are determined to get the maximum results they can get.

Xavi said that many times that he won't be working in Barcelona in the next season and he wants to leave.
After the bad performances Barcelona had in some games, Barcelona was even close to getting Xavi fired from the team and they even asked him to leave himself before getting fired from Barcelona. But since Barcelona improved, they decided to keep Xavi in Barcelona and they even offered him to extend him a contract but Xavi said many times that he wanted to leave and he won't change his mind anymore.
Barcelona is trying to find another coach and Deco wants to have Rafael Márquez the former player of Barcelona as coach in Barcelona.
Considering the current situation in Barcelona, Rafael Márquez can be a cheap option for them.

Considering the current situation in Barcelona, Rafael Márquez can be a cheap option for them.

In my opinion, that is the right reason not to stay at Barcelona because even though I am not a Barca fan, I see that Xavi has fought as hard as he could in various ways to help Barcelona get good results, but when Barcelona experienced a decline in performance, Xavi was always given bad criticism from Barcelona and that's why Xavi prefers to leave because his reputation and self-esteem are worth maintaining rather than having to stay at Barcelona but always being blamed.
Rafael Marquez has been confirmed as Barca's coach in the coming season and everyone doubts whether Rafael Marquez is able to manage a player like Xavi well.
I think Rafael Marquez is able to bring about change because he is also a former Barcelona player and he knows what Barcelona needs in times of financial shortage.

With the kind of spirit that Real Madrid is currently harboring I dont think any club out there can easily defeat them including Barcelona right now because the last win against Manchester City have gracefully strengthen them to be more fierce and their level of delivery.

All Real Madrid needs to do now is to put in same energy or something little more than they had in the last match and I can guarantee that they will win this El Classico. I dont think Barcelona will be as strong in terms of performance like Manchester City did in the last match at the Champions league quarterfinals

[Joca97]

Another dissapointing betting day. Even laliga favorites cannot win … atletico bilbao couldnt win against Granada and that is just shocking from them. This was suppost to be an easy win but that just didnt happen today with all the attacks from Bilbao at home. Granada that is already relegated took a point

Unexpectedly, it is very unfortunate that Bilbao was once again unable to optimize its existing opportunities to achieve full points. After previously only being able to draw against Villarreal, this time, you can only draw, even against relegation zone clubs. It's really unfortunate.

even though according to match statistics, they were very dominant. Even Granada was unable to get close to Bilbao's defense line. In fact, the goal that was obtained was OG. This is a big evaluation for Bilbao, because their attack line is not productive enough. REALLY, this is pointless and not amazing enough. Over time, they could be shifted from the top 5 position if they continue like this.

If you look at the current La Liga standings, of course you know how important the match against Barcelona is this week, currently Madrid is at the top of the standings and they are only 8 points separated from Barcelona in the second rank, so inevitably Madrid must take the match very seriously so that at least they are no longer chased in the remaining matches,  I think for now Ancelotti will not underestimate Barcelona in order to give Madrid two trophies this season.

I agree with you. Real Madrid will go all out to beat Barcelona. I think this will be an important moment for them because if Madrid is able to beat Barcelona then they will be 11 points ahead of Barcelona in second place. This will further secure first place for them. The Champions League will be played on May 1. That means Madrid will have sufficient rest time after playing Barca. The next match is against Sociedad before the first leg of the Champions League. I think Ancelotti will try to focus on El Classico and will rotate players against Sociedad.

Since Madrid was able to defeat Manchester City in the Champions League it is sure that Real Madrid can possibly get the Champions league title. Manchester City has always been a limitation to Real Madrid in Champions league games but now it won't be hard for them .in laliga the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona it is very clear that Ral Madrid is getting the title for laliga this season without any doubt. Reall Madrid have really done well this season to dominate laliga and the champions league.

[Furious 7]

Barcelona still hafta  face a pretty tough remaining match towards the end of this season if we look at the opponents they have to face where there is still Girona although now Girona seems to lose its Magic but it will be inconvenient for them and it is the opposite of Madrid because apart from Barcelona at this time there are no other clubs that might be able to stem Madrid to win 3 points so in terms of opportunities it is clear that Madrid is still very favorite to remain champions this season .

Even though it's still possible, the chance for Barcelona to win the league is quite small. They have to win all of the remaining games including against Real Madrid to make their hope stay alive. If they don't win against Madrid, the chance will be completely over, and Madrid will be practically win the league. Slight advantage for Barca is that they can now focus on the league after being eliminated from Champions League, while Madrid will have to split their focus on the Champions League semi-final.

Despite having small chance, Barcelona should just fighting till the end with the hope of things will go in their favor. They should have mindset that the small chance can be gain, therefore they have to maintain their performance to keep the chance alive. This mentality is important for their squad as a lesson for their improvement in the future.

As I said earlier in the quote you cut, 8 points is not an easy thing for Barcelona to chase because even if they can still get points in El Clasico in the end it will not be enough to bring about a change in the situation because the gap is too big.
In addition, we must be aware that in the end the situation in terms of Madrid's schedule is also favorable for them even though there is a busy schedule that they have but it clearly will not affect too much considering their current mentality is still very strong so that now apart from the points gap that is owned mentally and the schedule of matches in the rest of the season can be decisive for them to get the conditions and advantages that make Madrid will still be the favorite even though they have to do a few matches with victory to secure their current position in taking back the trophy that was lost last season.

[swogerino]

Another dissapointing betting day. Even laliga favorites cannot win … atletico bilbao couldnt win against Granada and that is just shocking from them. This was suppost to be an easy win but that just didnt happen today with all the attacks from Bilbao at home. Granada that is already relegated took a point

I would never play these type of games as you never know what to expect from a relegated team,they can be fighting hard like they did tonight or they may be not giving a shit at all because they are already out of the La Liga for the next season.I think it was a really bad result for Athletic as they risk their participation in the Champions League and I think they have already lost it since they are 3 points away from Atletico Madrid while Atletico Madrid have one game less,I think that it is normal to assume that for Athletic the motivation lacked which led them to this bad result and they should be happy by participating in Europa League next season.I think this is very bad for them as a team as a win would have left them in the fight for the glory of a Champions League participation.

[Ryu_Ar1]

This week they must prepare for the big El Clasico match.

h2h in the last 4 matches maybe we can consider this still balanced where 2 wins belong to Barcelona and 2 wins belong to Madrid but in the first meeting this season Barcelona lost at Camp Nou and now for the second meeting in a few days they will compete at the Bernabeu which must be a little difficult with Madrid's current mentality still big.

I think there are still El Classico that are not included in this table. Previously, real Madrid also won from Barcelona in La Liga match on January. It's a big win from Real Madrid. It's in Spanish super cup. real Madrid also won the match on January 2024.

Source: El Classico

Thanks for adding mate, it happened in the final yesterday which was not included in the list I gave.
With this, of course, it makes the situation of Madrid's confidence increase even more, especially now that they are playing at home, although sometimes things like this cannot really be used as a reference, but still, home matches make more advantages in terms of their mentality.

Now it is clear that the difference in points, mentality, performance and player conditions is favorable for Madrid coupled with the match at the Bernabeu that could have made the situation complicated for Barcelona so that in the end the final result in this match could be the determinant whether in the end Barcelona could still delay Madrid champions or not because if in this match Madrid managed to win then it was certain that the trophy would be faster they got.

[red4slash]

Since Madrid was able to defeat Manchester City in the Champions League it is sure that Real Madrid can possibly get the Champions league title. Manchester City has always been a limitation to Real Madrid in Champions league games but now it won't be hard for them .in laliga the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona it is very clear that Ral Madrid is getting the title for laliga this season without any doubt. Reall Madrid have really done well this season to dominate laliga and the champions league.

I agree with this because in my opinion the 2 biggest forces and candidates for the Champions League are Madrid and Manchester City so when one of them must be eliminated as happened yesterday where Manchester City had to lose to Madrid then most likely the winning club will definitely become the champion and that is a matchology that has lasted for the past 2 seasons.

The previous 2 seasons Madrid managed to win very dramatically from Manchester City and they immediately got their 14th trophy in the Champions League and last season where Manchester City managed to destroy Madrid at Etihad making them champions for the first time in the Champions League as well as recording a new history for them.

This season looks the same as they meet and beat each other which makes Madrid come out as the winner so it is certain that the current favourite for the final and even the champion is Madrid even though there are Bayern who are ready to tackle them in the semi-final.
