La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[X-ray]

The worst has been confirmed for Kamavinga: He is out for 2-3 months!

Eduardo Kamavinga's test results were disappointing, as the French midfielder will need to be sidelined for the next two to three months.

France international midfielder Eduardo Kamavinga was heard screaming as he fell to the ground after colliding with team-mate Aurélien Tsoumaeni and was forced to limp out of training hours before the Super Cup final against Atalanta after suffering an apparent knee injury. .

While he managed to leave the pitch on his own, Kamavinga 's condition still caused concern for Carlo Ancelotti and his staff and the 21-year-old was quickly sent for an injury check.

Despite the fact that the ranks of Madrid were optimistic about the state of his injury, Eduardo Kamavinga will need to stay on the "pitches" for two to three months! And that's becauseof his sprained knee. This was confirmed by Real Madrid in a medical report issued on Wednesday (14/08).

Source link: https://www.sportal.gr/podosfairo/article/kamavinga-epivevaiothikan-ta-xeirotera-gia-ton-gallo-meso-tis-real-menei-ektos-2-3-mines-2024081411263032550

Another loss for Real's midfield, and three months is quite a long absence, and we will also need to take into account the time it takes for Camavinga to fully recover. It is doubly offensive that the injury was sustained during training, Ancelotti was also very angry about this and this is understandable, after Kroos left the team he loses Camavinga. Apparently Modric will now start not on the bench, maybe it is for the best that he signed a contract with Real for another year, it will be a backup in case of similar injuries.

Don't worry. It's not a major injury. But I am really disappointed. The season hasn't started yet. We miss one of our key players due to an injury. I think with rotation we should be fine even without Camavinga. And we have many good players available to fulfill his spot, such as Ceballos, Luka, and Vallejo.

And last, I hope Ceballos, Luka, and Vallejo step up and help Madrid as Camavinga did. And without Cama, our squad is not really thin, and this is because we have some who can sub for him. There's nothing to feel worried

Initial diagnosis is that Camavinga will be absent for the next 6 to 8 weeks but has not yet waited for an official check and there is a possibility of quicker recovery. Its bad news for Madrid ahead of their opponent Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final today although still has many players can recovery with his position from Dani Caballos, Luka Modric or Aurélien Tchouaméni. However injured of Camavinga make Carlo Ancelotti on difficult position after last announcement said over with transfer activities but in other side he loss important players can playing well as left defender and holding midfielder.

Has any possibility for Carlo Ancelotti withdrew his announcement before will not sign any new players again? I think Madrid still need new players on midfielder position after leaving by Toni Kroos and Camavinga have out more than six weeks later give bigger space for midfielder behind leaving few players recovery on midfielder position.

Real Madrid - Atalanta



This will be a very interesting game to watch. There aren't many injured players on either team, and it's expected that the Real Madrid coach will start the game with the trio Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Junior. When Benzema was on the team, when Real Madrid played with Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid's attack became very powerful. I hope that Real Madrid's defense pays close attention to Lookman. Atalanta's performance in the friendlies was disastrous, but Real Madrid didn't perform well either. Even so, I'm betting on Real Madrid to win.

Probable lineup:

Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Junior

Atalanta: Musso; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, Pasalic, Ederson, Ruggeri; Lookman, De Ketelaere; Retegui

"It's going to be tough as always because it's the beginning of the season. But we are going there with every confidence and conviction, while bearing in mind all the challenges.

my bet:



I preferred to make a multibet bet because I see that Real Madrid has a good chance of winning this game and the next game which will be a La Liga game and because I see chances of the other games that are in my parlay having some chance of success. In any case we will see a good game today and mainly I want to see how Mbappe will debut, I hope he is not a disaster like Endrick

[Palakka]

I am very happy to see Barcelona's game in this pre-season, I hope they can maintain their game until La Liga starts and this season will run well and according to Barcelona management's plan, Although this defeat is embarrassing, the positive thing is that Hansi Flick knows which points are lacking in his squad, so that he can fix the shortcomings of all lines at least it can be balanced with the game that will be used by Hansi Flick.

Defeat in the preseason session will actually not be so embarrassing for a team, but if it happens against a smaller team and not strong enough last season, there is indeed a little pain and shame received by a team as big as Barcelona in this preseason session. However, as you said, Hansi Flick can take a valuable lesson from the results of the match because losing in the preseason will not be considered bad for a team because the coach still has more time to make important changes to each line that is still weak before entering the official season.

Barcelona have had 4 pre-season matches with only 1 win over Madrid, while they had 2 draws against Manchester City and Milan, but unfortunately in the last pre-season match they played they had to suffer a fairly heavy defeat against Monaco, if we look at it actually Barcelona performance in this match was quite good, however, but we cannot say that they are ready to face official matches next season, because at the moment the squad they have is not yet perfect enough to face the tough competition in the Champions League and La Liga next season.

Barcelona defense is still very fragile when we look at pre-season matches and of course Hansi Flick should immediately find the right solution to overcome this, but apart from that, we cannot use the results of pre-season matches as a reference because Barcelona did not field their best squad in that match, for now it looks like Hansi Flick has to move quickly to find Barcelona best squad framework because La Liga will start in less than 3 days.
BTW, previously it was reported that Barcelona couldn't register Dani Olmo because he had financial problems, have they now found a solution?

[giammangiato]

This is the lineup according to Eurosports and Mbappe is starting the match. This is the first competitive game for the Frenchman and his opportunity to win his first European trophy. Winning this game will be a dream. come through for Kylian Mbappé and scoring a goal will make it more remarkable. Carlo Ancelotti will also face his first test of being able to harness the array of stars in Real Madrid. The club will pursue to win this competition for the sixth time after winning five out of nine appearances. We also need to look out for the Europa Cup hero Ademola Lookman, who will want to lead his club to their first trophy in this competition.

My goodness, how scary! Real Madrid fielded their best first team against Atalanta, it will be a massacre unfortunately, I don't think Atalanta will be able to do something with all this quality.
Obviously I support Atalanta but it's a tough match.
Let's see how it goes, let's hope we don't play a game with too many goals difference, it wouldn't be nice.

[Iranus]

Earlier today, I saw pictures of Real Madrid players travelling to Warsaw earlier ahead of their UEFA Super Cup game tomorrow against Italian club Atalanta that'll be played tomorrow and Kylian Mbappe was one of the players in that squad which I think simply means he'll play his first game as a Real Madrid player tomorrow. The big question now is if Ancelotti will make the big decision of naming the France international in his starting XI. Wether he starts or not, I'm 99% sure he'll feature in that game

One thing that is certain is that Mbappe will indeed make his first debut at Real Madrid through this match. Against Atalanta, who are the champions of the European League, it will provide quite an interesting sensation to watch. Even though Real Madrid may be the favorite in this match, Atalanta will definitely provide strong resistance like when they beat Leverkusen. Everyone is probably more curious about how Mbappe's debut will be in this match than the result of the match. 
But I personally have another curiosity, namely that I am curious about what kind of formation Ancelotti will ultimately use. Will it be the same formation as when Benzema was there? and I think it's most likely like that.

https://www.marca.com/en/soccer/uefa-super-cup/r-madrid-atalanta/2024/08/14/01_0115_20240814_186_456-live.html

Yes All Eyes on Mbappe 

I am also sure that the viewership of this match is going to go through the roof just because of the debut of Mbappé for Real Madrid. This is probably the most anticipated debut in the last four years. And I’m pretty sure that is going to be the reason why people are very excited to see this match. But of course, people are also probably excited to see Real Madrid win this match. I don’t think Real Madrid should have a lot of problems winning this match. But as you said it is definitely going to be very interesting to see which formation will be used by the Real Madrid coach. Yeah because Real Madrid have good players in every position right now. So it should not be a big problem for Carlo Ancelotti to decide the formation. I am pretty sure Mbappé is going to be played as a striker instead of a left-winger or the second striker.

They are not just doing a regular friendly match, because they also include trophy that can be obtained. After all, if the conclusion is that Monaco and Barcelona are playing seriously because they want to get a trophy, but in fact Barcelona actually lost big without being able to reply to a goal in the match, because Monaco also won big 3-0. Indeed, I personally will not care about the results that occur in friendly matches like this, even if they lose or win, I still won't care.

So yes, I personally still won't be able to conclude whether Hansi Filck has the right tactics or strategy for Barcelona next season or not. Because for me, to have good results in his first season will certainly not be easy, because Hansi Flick also seems to still need time to build the team to be stronger and certainly better.

Let's see how it goes, let's hope we don't play a game with too many goals difference, it wouldn't be nice.

Madrid's forward line is Vini-Mbappe-Rodrygo. Everyone is waiting to see the performance of Vini and Mbappe in this match. We were not sure which position Ancelotti would use Mbappe. I look forward to seeing how Mbappe performs in the CF position.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid's squad is very strong and experienced. Atalanta's overall performance, on the other hand, has been somewhat erratic. Last season we also saw erratic performances from Atalanta's players. This team is weaker than Madrid. But even then it will not be easy for Madrid to beat Atalanta. Because Atalanta's defense is strong. Also, against the big teams, Atalanta teams perform well most of the time. Expect this match to be exciting and both teams will score goals.

[junder]

Tomorrow in Spanish League will start Athletic Club vs Getafe match between two teams. I am waiting to enjoy which team will perform well in this match. Both teams have very good players so I think it is very difficult to predict which team will win this match.   Close. Athletic Club is in 2nd position in the points table so it is not clear which team will win this match.

In my opinion, Bilbao is far superior, considering that last season they were able to finish in 5th place in the final standings, and keep in mind that in the Bilbao squad there is Nico Williams whose performance in the Euros was very impressive. That made them able to win the match, and in my opinion this match is very important for Bilbao to win considering that this is their first match in La Liga.

On the other hand, Getafe finished in the top 12 last season, and so far they have not shown significant development. In the 5 pre-season matches they played, they were only able to win once, draw once, and lose the rest.
therefore I will bet on atletic bilbao 

[SOKO-DEKE]

I am very happy to see Barcelona's game in this pre-season, I hope they can maintain their game until La Liga starts and this season will run well and according to Barcelona management's plan, Although this defeat is embarrassing, the positive thing is that Hansi Flick knows which points are lacking in his squad, so that he can fix the shortcomings of all lines at least it can be balanced with the game that will be used by Hansi Flick.

With Barcelona's performance in this on going preseason matches I have watched so far, they are really playing well, and it is a sign of improvement in Barcelona. It is very possible that Barcelona will do even more than our expectations with this current squad that we don't have must trust on. It not always about the scored in preseason but are are the expected players performing.

Hansi Flick is really putting things together. I know that Barcelona does not have world-class players like Real Madrid, but with the effort of Hansi Flick, these players can turn into well recognized world players players. Barcelona's squad is not that bad to me, due to my observations. If the head coach is really competent,we all witnessed how great Girona performed last season, even without world-recognized players in the squad. Sometimes it is not about having all the best players in the team before a team can perform well. If they have tactics and an experienced head coach, the available players can be use to achieve what they want.

[Swordsoffreedom]

After all, if the conclusion is that Monaco and Barcelona are playing seriously because they want to get a trophy, but in fact Barcelona actually lost big without being able to reply to a goal in the match, because Monaco also won big 3-0.

Because for me, to have good results in his first season will certainly not be easy, because Hansi Flick also seems to still need time to build the team to be stronger and certainly better.

Barcelona may not have taken this match seriously. But I was very disappointed with Barcelona's overall performance in this match. In particular I would say the performance of Barcelona's defenders was terrible. With such a defense, I doubt whether Barcelona will be able to occupy the second place in the points table next season.



In this match, Barcelona players made a total of 12 shots. Only two of these shots were on target. In attack were Lewandowski, Raphinha, Torre and Victor. However, Yamal was not one of the key players in Barcelona's attack. With Yamal we could have seen a better performance from Barcelona. I think Hansi Flick considered it only a friendly match.

However, Barcelona's defense needs to be strengthened. We saw Barcelona's poor defense last season too. And this season too, it seems that Barcelona's defense has not improved. Monaco's players made only 6 shots. Monaco has managed to score three goals with 6 shots.

Real Madrid is expected to win the Super Cup Final, but Atalanta is unlikely to have a chance against them on the pitch. Despite Camavinga's injury, he will not bring anything to the team as they have many midfielders and will replace him with another. Camavinga will be in today's lineups, but his injury will keep him on the bench. Let's see how the lineup looks like for tonight game, and i think that will be real madrid lineups in the laliga too. Atalanta are good in terms of playing finals; they usually focus If Real Madrid truly wants to win the trophy, they must take them seriously. Because Atalanta's strikers are good, they don't used to play on the pitch, with motivation, they win Bayern Leverkusen in the final, and everyone thinks that Bayern Leverkusen will win the game because they are stronger than them, and they even went unbeaten last season, so Real Madrid needs to focus very well and achieve the title because I would like Real Madrid to win the trophy.

[Alpha Marine]

Barcelona managed to dominate the match by firing more shots than Monaco, but none of the Barcelona players' efforts managed to penetrate Monaco's goal.

Barcelona were actually very poor in the first half. They were beyond poor. They couldn't keep the ball, they couldn't win the ball back and there was no communication from the players. It was like they hadn't trained for it. The defending was the worst part of the half. They defended like they were not ready for the match.
In the second half, they played better but they couldn't score.

Hansi Flick learned a valuable lesson after Barcelona were beaten 3-0 by Monaco, Some mistakes that occurred in the Friendly Match must be overcome when they play in the Official Match. He must make Barcelona perform better, a defeat like this must not be repeated in an official match because it will make it difficult for them to compete with Real Madrid who have the best squad.

The loss might be a blessing in disguise. He needs to know that there's a lot he has to do in that team and if he is to stand a chance at winning any silverware he has to fix that. Part of what is needed in that team is a defensive pivot midfielder. They will concede a lot of goals if they don't fix that. They also need a left winger who can score and create goals. Looking at how Barcelona have been in the window, I will be very surprised if they do better in La liga this season, talk more of the Champions League.

The positive thing is that from this match, Hansi Flick was able to see where their squad's weaknesses were. And it is hoped that he can immediately fix it before the first week comes in La Liga. Hansi Flick is serious about changing Barcelona's style of play and so far or in the previous few matches it looks good but in the last match it didn't look good.

In less than 1 hour from now we will see Real Madrid play against Atalanta. And I'm curious about Mbappe's debut in this match. And it looks like Mbappe will indeed be the center of attention in this match. I hope he can give the best for the Real Madrid squad and answer all the hopes of Real Madrid fans.

Barcelona fans, wake up and smell the coffee. Preseason hype is one thing, but getting smacked 3-0 by Monaco? That acts as a reality check. Give me nothing like "it's just a friendly". It reveals holes, simple and basic. Surely Flick has a plan. Still, making this Barcelona team a contender? That calls more than just strategies. It takes time and perhaps some fresh faces as well. How he manages this situation will be interesting

This is a warning indication whether or not preseason exists. Chemistry's off; the execution is shoddy. Barcelona has a fight this season; they best be ready

After seeing the overall performance of Barcelona in this match, I would say that Barcelona is in a weak position this season as well as last season. I don't see any improvement in their performance. Last season we saw the performance of Barcelona's forward players erratic and the defense weak. We are seeing the same thing this season as well.

Barcelona's attack might be stronger if Lewandowski and Yamal perform well. The overall performance of Barcelona's attack depends on this pair. Barcelona's midfield is also quite strong. But Barcelona's defense is weak. If Hansi Flick can't strengthen Barcelona's defense then I don't expect this team to perform well next season. Hansi Flick should now take the necessary steps to strengthen Barcelona's defence, adding experienced defenders to the squad.

[Minecache]

None of us imagine that the Atalanta team will win the Europa League final. However, Atalanta performed well in the Europa League. Liverpool and Marseille qualified for the Europa League final after defeating them. And the Atalanta team won the Europa League after defeating a strong team like Leverkusen in the final.

Real Madrid is undoubtedly stronger than Atalanta. But the Atalanta team cannot be considered weak. This team often surprises everyone with excellent performances. But we are all waiting to see Mbappe's performance in Real Madrid jersey.

Yes, you are right, I don’t know who would risk betting today that Atalanta is capable of beating Real, and the odds of 6.5 on Atalanta indicate that bookmakers also estimate their chances very low. To some extent, Real was lucky in the Champions League final, when their opponent was Dortmund, because to be honest, it was not the strongest team that could have been their opponent in the final. And the same thing is happening in the Super Cup final, because if Bayer had played them today, and they had been able to maintain their unbeaten streak until today, then the chances would have been estimated differently, but I think it will not be a problem for Real to beat Atalanta today.

I thought we would enjoy a competitive match. But the match seems very boring to me now. Neither team is doing much attacking. The players of both teams are playing very carefully. Mbappe is in Madrid's squad. But we have yet to see a better performance from Mabppe. At the end of 30 minutes, both teams managed to make only one shot each. Madrid had 51% ball possession and Atalanta had 49% ball possession.

As both teams are playing defensive tactics, it looks like the first half will end goalless. However, in the second half, Ancelotti will definitely change his match strategy. I hope the second half will be more exciting. Madrid really want to win today's match.

Both teams seemed to play more carefully in the first half. And indeed the match was quite boring. Initially I thought both teams would immediately play aggressively from the start but it seems my guess was wrong. but I was quite surprised because Atalanta could also match Real Madrid well. And Real Madrid is also still having difficulty penetrating Atalanta's defense. In the second half, maybe the fun will only begin. Because in the first half the two teams were just testing each other's strengths and trying to observe the opponents' weaknesses. So that in the second half all teams will have finished analyzing and a better strategy will definitely be used. But if it turns out that in the second half the match is still running the same as in the first half then it looks like this match will not be as lively as we expected.

Atalanta is indeed able to provide very strong resistance but for me this condition is very reasonable because both clubs have just started this season's match in the super cup competition.
Actually Atalanta is not too strong and Real Madrid only needs a little chemistry after the arrival of Mbappe, it certainly takes a lot of time to be able to become a strong formation.
Ancelotti always uses this strategy in the first half using a little attack to see how the Atalanta players play but after that Real Madrid will provide a stronger attack in the second half.
Just see later in the second half Real Madrid will definitely score a winning score.

Real Madrid problem is from the midfield, they don't have who to be in charge of the midfield and they allowed Atalanta to be in control of the midfield. This is where Kross will be missed because assuming he is still in Real Madrid, he will do the job professionally. However, I know that Ancelotti must have seen he laxity and will make substitutes that will improve their performance and change the game to the orb favor on the second half. Most games that Real Madrid won last season, they scored in the second half and the first half for Ancelotti is for studing his opponent weaknesses.
