La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Oluwa-btc]

I think the main reason was the bad relationship between Laporta and Xavi otherwise he could stay for the next season.
Even Flick was not successful recently and they could have much better coaches instead of him

Xavi was expected to be kicked from Barcelona at any moment especially that few weeks ago he was declared out then resumed... Their might be some misunderstanding and tensions between him and the staff but that was mainly due to the poor results they had and for not winning anything this season.

The way Barcelona president dealt with the Xavi Hernandez issues has got to be very poor truthfully, how do you treat a club legend this way? Meanwhile he didn't even get the necessary backing needed for a successful season.
They gave him treatments they should have given Koeman the one time club player and also coach. Xavi Hernandez did better than him and should have had a better treatments.
It is what it is right now I must say.

I love Hansi Flick, I know he will do a good job in replacement of Xavi Hernandez and should already be aware that the management and club has no much money to fund whoever he wants, he will have to work with the young players from La Ma Sia who are heavily talented.

Girona is smashing Granada by 7 goals to Nil. This year's race for the Pichichi has been so interesting. With a hattrick tonight, Artem Dovbyk leapfrogs Alexander Sørloth who scored four goals against Real Madrid last week. So as things stand

Artem Dovbyk - 24
Alexander Sørloth - 23

Alexander Sørloth's Villarreal is playing against Osasuna tomorrow.

It was a sign that Girona players are waking up from poor performance in their remaining matches, because they where able to play yesterday match to took good possession from the match till the end of the match to scored seven goals to defeated Granada 7-0 to achieved three points. Despite the kind of players Granada manager used to play the match just to reduce Girona points but they failed to make such plan happen, because Girona started scoring goals 30 minutes, 33 minutes and the third goal came at 44 minutes to ended the first half with 3-0. Anything that will make Barcelona to lose their next match, it will make them to drop down to third position because they are using one point to lead Girona in the la Liga league table.

[rendravolt]

Well, Artem Dovbyk is leading the top scorer with 1 difference goal. Alexander Sørloth still has a chance to have more goals in the final match against Osasuna. In my opinion, it won't be an easy match for Alexander Sørloth, he won't easy score goals in Osasuna home. Osasuna also has a motivation to win the match, they want to finish the season in the top 10. So, I'm not really sure if Alexander Sørloth can take the advantage from this match to score more goals.

Dovbyk is truly impressive and apart from recording a hat trick in the last match of the season, he also has the opportunity to win the La Liga golden boot this season. I think the competition for top scorer no longer belongs to players from Real Madrid or Barcelona who we know can always dominate this league, but now it's time for other mediocre teams to show off with strikers who are rarely known.

I think it could be Dovbyk who wins the golden boot but keep in mind that Sorloth alone was able to break into Real Madrid's goal 4 times in one match last week. So Osasuna is not necessarily safe from Sorloth's skill in scoring goals and if they target finishing in the top 10 then Osasuna must fully learn from Real Madrid's previous mistakes.

Girona played brilliantly in this match. they get a big opportunity and make use of it.  In the 2nd half they completely controlled the ball.  And scored 5 consecutive goals. And scored a total of 7 goals.  It was a really amazing game that Girona scored 7 goals but their opponents didn't score even 1 goal. Girona is far behind Real Madrid in terms of points but is almost overtaking Barcelona. There is only 1 point gap between them now. Girona seem to be doing very well again

Girona has completed all matches this season in La Liga. Barcelona still has one game against Sevilla. This is not only a 1 point gap remaining between Barcelona, ​​but this is indeed the maximum points that Girona has obtained this season. There will be no additional points added. If Barca lose then they will be one point behind. But if Barca wins then they will be 4 points behind. The league is over. There will be no more position changes in the top 7 due to their point difference. 4 teams for the Champions League, 2 teams for the European League and 1 team for the European Confederation League have been determined today.

The remaining matches are just matches without any pressure. And it will be interesting to see how Madrid will play against Real Betis tonight. On paper, Madrid is predicted to win, but of course Madrid will not play seriously because they will focus on the Champions League.

[karabiber]

Champion Real Madrid played Villarreal last week in a spectacular goal duel that ended in a draw. The Real Betis game will also be a farewell to Kroos, who has announced his retirement from football. Real Madrid's sole focus is on the Champions League final and I expect Ancelotti to experiment with tactics against Real Betis and therefore not give too many chances to the substitutes.
In fact, Real Madrid have gotten very good results from the alternatives in recent matches. Ancelotti will make different rotations in this match. Real Betis got tired after losing to Sociedad last week. They have a clear line up and a large number of players with uncertain status, especially in the defense and midfield. I don't think they will show much resistance at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid are definitely the favorites.

Yes, maybe they had internal problems which ultimately made the relationship between them not good, so that in the end Xavi had to be the one who was kicked out because of the bad relationship. In fact, if we look at Barcelona's performance, he should still be worthy of being given the opportunity to become coach next season. However, news circulating that there has been an agreement between Barcelona and Flick confirms that Xavi will no longer be part of Barcelona next season.
However, I think Xavi will soon find a new team, because his performance is not bad and even shows something that I think is quite promising. So maybe it won't take long for him to get a new team.

It was quite unbelievable to see a team with such horrible performance for the whole season, Almeria only managed to win 2 games after 37 games played. With this result, they will surely going to continue to struggle when they start to play in the Segunda Division next season. Almeria will play their last match against Cadiz CF at home and I think this match might ends up with a draw to mark the ending of this season for both relegated teams.

[bering]

Girona did exactly what I expected from them which is mercilessly beating Granada using their home advantage and their goal scoring prowess. Despite that this win does not mean anything for them since they are already bound to remain in third position, the match gave them the opportunity to score as many goals as they possibly can. A match ending 7:0 with all their major scorers, including Artem Dovbyk scoring hat trick and Eric Garcia registering a goal should indeed be celebrated as a good match. On the part of Granada, the loss does not really matter much to them as they have already been relegated alongside Cadiz and UD Almeria... so "he that is down need fear no fall".

I am looking forward to Real Madrid against Real Betis, a match I expect the former to win to seal the season in victory. There should be no excuse as to why Madrid will fail to deliver, not even the Champions League final will deter them from collecting the 3 points.

I was surprised when Girona defeated Granada 7-0 yesterday. Even though Girona have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League competition next season, it means that Girona can still be a threat for clubs in La Liga this season, except for Real Madrid. In this match, Artem Dovbyk scored a hat trick against Granada to have an upper hand in winning the top scorer of La Liga this season. With the performance of Artem Dovbyk for the Girona this season, I am afraid if Girona can be able to keep him at the club because big clubs in Europe will want to secure his service, and Girona will want to cash in on him since he is now valuable. Don't be surprised if Real Madrid fails to beat Real Betis in their match because Ancelotti might likely rest his important players for the UEFA Champions League finals with Borussia Dortmund so that they will be fit enough to display an amazing performance against Dortmund and win the UEFA Champions League trophy.

Granada defensive lines is very poor and during this season until this match they have been conceded 79 goals which this causes Granada has several times lost with big scores and i was predict Girona can able to win this match easily even most likely win with big scores but i never thought Girona can scores 7 goals in this match and i have to says this is very fantastic because Girona can ended this season with amazing result and this is Girona's biggest scoreline win of the season and Artem Dovbyk can appears as Laliga top scorer currently with 24 goals

This season was ended for Girona because they have been finished 38 matches and with gets 25 wins and lost 7 times makes them deserved to occupy 3th place and playing at Champion League but next season won't be easy for them because their contender such as Bilbao, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will be more stronger than this season besides that hopefully Girona will hold their manager Míchel because with his current achievement it makes some of big teams were showing their interest to Míchel and the rumour is Barcelona was attempts to gets him from Girona

It would be quite difficult for both people to work together if they had a disharmonious relationship, and that's what happened between Xavi and Laporta. One of the things that made Xavi want to leave Barcelona before was because he felt that he did not get full backup from Laporta (including financial support) but for a certain reason Xavi decided to do a U-Turn.

That seems like good news for Barcelona fans because Xavi is still willing to carry out his role but, it turns out there was something that made Laporta furious with Xavi. It seems like Xavi's words are that he feels that Barcelona will not be successful if the same method is used next season, which was the trigger.

Dissatisfaction with the Barcelona manager meant that Xavi had to be expelled, even though in the middle of the season Compared to their rivals, Real Madrid continues to show brilliant performance but Barcelona is unable to compete with them, which is what makes Barcelona hesitant to extend Xavi's contract.

Now Barcelona has officially announced that Hansi Flick will become Barcelona coach, ​​a good decision for Barcelona to be able to compete again next season, because Xavi is not a great coach, his ability in Europe is very low, this shows how they compete in the Champions even though they have there are many great players who fail, in my opinion Xavi's quality to coach in Europe is still lacking.

It’s too early to say whether Atletico and Barcelona will be stronger next season, one can only speculate, but Xavi’s dismissal does not speak in favor of this. But if Michel remains in the team and Girona keeps all the important players and tries to strengthen the team, then Girona can be just as strong a team. I didn’t expect that Dovbyk would be able to make a hat trick in the last match, so far he is again leading the best strikers, a good season, it is important for Girona to keep him in the team if they want to be as strong.

With this result, they will surely going to continue to struggle when they start to play in the Segunda Division next season. Almeria will play their last match against Cadiz CF at home and I think this match might ends up with a draw to mark the ending of this season for both relegated teams.

If Almeria only draws against Cadiz then they will be the relegated team with the fewest wins because Cordoba in the 2014-2015 season was able to win 3 times in one season.
Almeria got too many draw results because their number of defeats was not as many as Granada who were also relegated this season.
With this bad performance, not only Almeria but also Granada will probably find it difficult to compete in the Segunda Division so they will need several seasons to get back up to La Liga.

The last Laliga match no longer affects what the clubs will get, because the teams that will be relegated are already confirmed to be Cadiz, Granada, and Almeria, also for the teams that will play in European competitions next season because the point difference can no longer be caught, so the match will less attractive.

Almeria will play their last match against Cadiz CF at home and I think this match might ends up with a draw to mark the ending of this season for both relegated teams.

Actually, from the beginning we couldn't expect much. Last season they were in the border zone because there was only 1 level above the relegation zone line and this season they could not compete further because of their stuck performance from season to season even indeed for this season they can be said to be much worse than the previous season.
2 wins from a total of all matches this season is definitely a bit annoying and when compared to other major competitions at the moment they are the worst with Salernitana in Serie A because they only managed to get 2 wins from a total of 37 matches at the moment.
The last game against Cadiz didn't have any impact on either of them as both Cadiz and Almeria were already relegated but it was still a case of showing the fans that although it was a very poor season for both Almeria and Cadiz, they did take the season seriously even if the results fell short of expectations.

Things went really interesting for Barcelona recently. First Xavi was leaving, then they convinced him to stay but later on there were some problems occurring once again. Now he has got sacked officially.  

Now one of the serious candidates is Hansi Flick. I think he would be one of the greatest choices. Because he is a manager who has a career filled with many titles. He is a World Cup winner manager (with Germany in 2014) before anything else.    He just hasn't managed a team out of Germany yet. But I don't see it as a negative side for now.

I hope Barcelona starts a better era with him and it would be consistent as well.  

[Bobrox]

Girona have played all La Liga matches in this season and make us shocked after success securing third standings position for season 2023/24 and their attacking line players Artem Dovbyk success leading top scorer awhile with 24 goals of 36 appearance. Last night success made hattrick after defeating Granada and he has opportunity with La Liga top scorer depend on Villareal striker Alexander Sørloth scoring 23 goals and he has match left today with Villareal against Osasuna.

Little disappointed for Real Madrid fans although have won La Liga trophy but their player Jude Bellingham seems difficult reach Artem Dovbyk because one match left Madrid will face Real Betis and Bellingham jus t scoring 19 goals.

La Liga top scorer awhile

It's a little surprising why Barcelona didn't have a strong stance at that time when Xavi wanted to leave Barcelona, but Barcelona kept him in the hope that Xavi would stay for at least one season, but after Xavi tried to be sure and accept the offer, Barcelona itself fired him and chose Hansi Flick as Barcelona coach in the coming season.
honestly, I'm just saying my thoughts, but is this news really official from Barcelona?
I don't doubt Hansi Flick but I just think Barcelona best period was with Xavi when they were short of players, Xavi was still able to rotate players well even though he didn't get any titles this season but at least last season he still had a good achievement in getting the La Liga title.

Hansi Flick may be an experienced coach but I still have a little doubt that he will become Barcelona coach because managing a team with poor financial conditions is not an easy task for a coach to be really, really careful when implementing any policy because it will have a big impact on Barcelona future.
If that is Barcelona management's decision, we can only accept it and see what will happen later.

[mamesso]

Everything has happened, Xabi will not manage Barcelona next season, Barcelona management has appointed Hansi Flick as his replacement. Barcelona new era will begin with a new coach next season, perhaps there will be some surprising transfers made by Barcelona to facilitate the new coach. Barcelona failure to win a trophy was not because they were incompetent in managing the club, the financial problems they were facing meant that Xabi had to work hard to maintain Barcelona performance despite all the limitations in his squad. Xavi has succeeded in promoting several young players from La Masia as future stars for Barcelona. If Xavi is entrusted with managing Barcelona for the next two years, Barcelona will reach its best level again with players who have tiki-taka DNA.

Xavi dismissal did trigger controversy which also stemmed from controversial remarks in recent weeks, previously Barcelona continued to try to ask Xavi to stay, but when he had agreed to stay at Barcelona Xavi was fired only because of a trivial matter, the dismissal carried out by Barcelona was certainly beyond our expectations so far after Xavi was able to lift Barcelona performance from the slump, so far Xavi has put all his mind and energy so far For Barcelona but unfortunately the sacking does not seem to reflect an attitude of appreciation for all of Xavi performance at Barcelona at the moment, when later maybe Barcelona with Hansi Flick slumped in Barcelona of course everyone will assume it is karma for Xavi dismissal.

Hansi Flick is a coach full of experience and also proven to be able to handle large teams so far, some of the prestigious trophies he was able to give to Bayern Munich are clear evidence of his coaching prowess so far, but we cannot deny if Hansi Flick success at Bayern Munich cannot be separated from the depth of the Bayern Munich squad which was very capable at that time,  But next season of course we will see different things when he coaches Barcelona, Barcelona who are indeed in a financial crisis of course will not be able to buy great and expensive players so indeed Hansi Flick has to work hard to improve Barcelona performance with makeshift players and I think maybe Hansi Flick will find it difficult to do that.

Xavi was a good option for Barcelona. There are less manager who are emotionally connected to Barcelona as Xavi is. His entire career was spent playing for Barcelona and he worked all he can to pick together a team from a crumbling club. He did his best from what he have and led the team to 2nd position at the end of the league.
Hansi Flick is a good manager but it would be his first managing a Spanish Club. He can bring the German tactics to Barcelona team. Whether he'd be more success than Xavi is still to be seen but I don't have a high hope from what Barcelona holds now. I guess Hansi would want to reshuffle the team a bit. A failure may mean Barcelona would go further down on the table.

Xavis dismissal is actually going to be challenging for Barcelona because I think it's rare to see a manager currently who will be able to manage Barcelona well enough through their financial status and still be able to achieve as much as xavi has been able to achieve since the beginning of this issues till this moment, earlier when he did mentioned he will be exiting Barcelona by the end of the season, it brought about several reactions as regards it's effect on the team after his exit.

Before now Barcelona wasn't really termed a tough team in the la Liga this season and now the exit of Xabi is definitely going to add to everything to making them even a lesser tough team because I'm sure any other Coach who will be coming after Xabi is most definitely going to start all over and may need some time to getting the players used to his style and tactics, aswell as his strategy of which it will take some time from them except they will be utilizing the break to get that fixed. Girona like u did said if they eventually keep their players and not selling them off, they will be a strong team this season especially if they get to improve much more than they were in the just concluded season.

Atletico may even get stronger then Barcelona in this coming season, before now they have been a strong contender in the la Liga when Barcelona had all the strength, now when it's looking like Barcelona will be having one of their toughest hits I think it's going to be a weakness that most teams may capitalize on against Barcelona and for the first few weeks of the season Barcelona may start of poorly abut may eventually get to improve in cause of the season.
