La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[mamesso]

~Snip~

The coming season will be another tough and interesting season to watch these clubs dragging the same title; they always challenge each other in any match or title, although I'm still yet to see a better performance from Barcelona from their friendly matches, and still they seem weak, but nobody knows how their performance will look in the main competition, so let's wait and watch.

Because Barcelona is always good at using their players to see that they are not left behind, at least they end the season at the top 2, which is not bad. But this time around we don't know; maybe they will go beyond our expectations.

In my opinion, Real Madrid are still at the forefront of the La Liga title race. They have just managed to win the UEFA Super Cup trophy after defeating Atalanta, this success will further increase the motivation of Real Madrid players in winning the next title. Barcelona still hasn't been able to maintain its performance consistently, but the defeat to Monaco will be a lesson for Hansi Flick to improve his weak position. He will try to make his team perform optimally in official matches to collect as many points as possible.

The players that Barcelona currently has have improved rapidly, Barcelona can rely on young players such as Fermin Lopez, Yamal, Gavi, Pau Cubarsi and several other young players to compete with Real Madrid for the Trophy.

The opening match of La Liga will take place tomorrow and the clubs that will compete are Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe and Real Betis vs Girona I bet on Bilbao to win in this match because they will play as the host club and their opponent is not too tough Bilbao has odds @1.55.
In the Real Betis vs Girona match I think the BTTS option is a good choice, I hesitate to bet on Girona even though last season they performed impressively because they are playing away and have quite high odds @3.05.
Here are my parlay bets for these two clubs do you think it is a good option?

~snip~

I myself am still thinking about whether to make a bet in the first week of La Liga. Because in the first week we still can't analyze, because we don't fully know what their form of play is like. So most likely I will not bet on this first week's match. Indeed, the desire to bet is very high, but I will try to be more patient because now every week we can bet again. So I will enjoy without betting on the first match of La Liga this season.

You are right in this first match it is still quite difficult to predict the bet because we have not seen the changes in each team, but there is nothing wrong with trying to analyze early to see if their performance is better than last season, each club that played in today's match got a draw Athletic Bilbao got a draw in this match even though I bet on their victory, and for Gorona vs Real Betis also got a 1-1 draw I think this is a fair result for them each getting 1 point.

One of the seven titles has been won by Real Madrid this season and next can they collect the remaining six titles? Anyway, being able to win seven titles in one season will make the winner be nicknamed the Septuple.

I think it is quite impossible for Real Madrid to win 7 titles in 1 season because it is very difficult Real Madrid must prioritize 3 important titles such as La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey and this alone is very amazing for Real Madrid because so far only Barcelona is the only La Liga club that has won the Treble Winner, I think Real Madrid has a chance to win the 3 titles because they seem more confident with the arrival of Mbappe, if they can achieve that this season then they can break Barcelona's record.

The Bilbao side have themselves to blame on this 1-1 draw, this is the first game of the season and every team would want to get all 3 point just to be at the top of the log but the manager Valverde gambled with the game, knowing quite well that the Getafe side also are hungry to make a statement and also want to get all 3pt, now you have see how difficult the defense line of your opponent are and the midfield down to the attacker are stronger and doing better than your team, why not bring in your attacking power Nico Williams to combine with his brother to make something happen but he waited till it was late, there was nothing to do with how the away team was pressing and defending, it was well planned by Getafe.
The away team played better to even put more pressure on the host and I was expecting a win but they (Getafe) were unlucky to not convert some of their chances and these guys became more faster than we used to know them, I just hope they continue like this to cause more problems to their opponent in the next game.

I agree that Bilbao manager Valverde made mistake by not bringing in Nico Williams sooner to boost their attack. Getafe strong defense and midfield made it difficult for Bilbao to create scoring opportunities. Valverde late substitution was too little too late and Getafe well planned strategy deserved win. Despite not converting their chances Getafe showed impressive speed and pressure making them formidable opponent. I hope they maintain this level of performance to cause more upsets in future games.

A rare performance shown by Getafe against Bilbao. Getafe had little possession of the ball. But, they were interesting with it against Bilbao. They also defended well from our attack. And i was not expecting we have difficulty beating Getafe at San Mames. I hate to see Getafe get a deserved point from it cuz it makes my bet collapse.

Also, i think we threw the game away with their midfield substitutions. And it was killing our mid, which is also helping Getafe to leave slowly from the pressure. This is not what i was hoping to see the draw on the opening week of La Liga.

And last, I'm very disappointed with Bilbao benching Nico.

Atletico Bilbao have opened the 2024/25 season with an early kickoff. Playing against a somewhat stubborn side in Getafe it's safe to say it's not going to be easy to get a win in the game. Although they started off very well and got an early goal thanks to Oihan Sancet, they could not maintain the dominance because in the second half, Getafe leveled up thanks to a Chris. Uche header.
 Right now Atletico Bilbao seem a bit shaky, making mistakes and looking like they have lost the confidence they began with in the first half and if care is not taken, Getafe may take the lead and if that should happen, it will be disastrous and disappointing because they have managed to go 19 games at home without a loss so losing will break that record and they will have to start the beginning of the season with a loss and if you ask me, that's not a good way to start.

Bilbao had to be satisfied with sharing points with Getafe. Although this result doesn't seem like a surprising result because most meetings between these two teams always result in a draw. And it happens over and over again. I don't understand it. But usually Bilbao can always show more quality than this but against Getafe they always can't do much. But getting 1 point is not a bad start but it is not good enough.  

Now Betis' match against Girona is underway and the second half will start again in the next few minutes. but the score shows that Betis is still ahead with a score of 1-0. It seems like Girona haven't found their best form yet.

I think Getafe are more satisfied with the draw than the hosts because you could see how elated they were when the ref blew the whistle to signal the end of the game. Anyways, let's just chalk their performance as a warm up for the both sides being that it's their first game of the season and it's normal for these things to happen.
 Girona were not any different as they too settled for a 1-1 draw even though Betis werr the first to draw blood.
In all, it was a very entertaining game for a season opener as the two sides gave as good as they got but I'm hoping we'd see something better from the two sides in their next respective games.

Since a few days ago I have said several times regarding the match that it is riskier to bet on Bilbao or Getafe victory. From previous meetings and looking at H2H it is very clear that these two teams if they meet on the field will definitely give each other resistance and Bilbao has only been able to win 1x. While the draw has a greater chance and can be predicted a little earlier.
Indeed, in terms of appearance, Getafe will initially look defeated but this team knows Bilbao weakness which is easy to counterattack and produce 1 score in the second half. In early season matches like this, you have to be careful in choosing betting options because there are still many surprises that occur.

Girona, Getafe, Betis and Bilbao started the season with 1 point. Like a surprise at the beginning of the season.

Athletic Bilbao lost 2 points by drawing with Getafe and I hope this shock will bring them back to their senses. Getafe maintained this by drawing with Uche and they left the match with 1 point. I think this was a right move as much as they were happy because Bilbao was clearly a superior team to Getafe. The other match in La Liga was between Betis and Girona, Girona forced a draw in the 72nd minute and the match ended in a draw. I think Girona will be further away this year than last year

Yes I also don't understand why they didn't start Nico, he was in good form and they brought him on in the second half, I think this is Bilbao's failure to maximize their first home win, and Bilbao also played quite badly with several fouls that made them get four yellow cards, and on the other hand Getafe played quite solidly by managing to hold Bilbao to a draw at home, a good point for Getafe not Bilbao.

Getafe who had several good chances but they couldn't take advantage of the goal to win and Uche's equalizer was also very good and I think this deficit couldn't be maximized by both coaches, even though we can see both teams should have won but in reality they wasted their first match by sharing points, and I think this is also a boring opening for Laliga.

Girona will find it a bit difficult to cope with pressure of this season as they will be competing in another competition which is the Champions league. Although I had expected them to win their opening match of the season but unfortunately they settled for the draw. Since it was their first match of the season and they were playing at away I don't think the result they got was that bad. Real Betis were also very prepared not to disappoint their fans in their opening game of the season in their home. Both teams should be happy with the draw. Girona even did good by getting a point at away. We will start knowing the full strength of Girona this season after at least 5 games of the season. But for a club like Girona to get an away point in the first fixture at away is a good result.

[Inwestour]

Well, how do you like the start of the new season? Girona managed to draw the first match, considering that they had a very difficult opponent, I can rate their result as acceptable. After all, they sold several players and there were many expectations that Girona would be weaker, but in general they played quite well. But Athletic Bilbao were a bit of a disappointment, I think that Getafe is not an opponent with whom it was worth losing points in the first match, Nico Williams entered the field only at the end of the match, and in general the team's ratings are not high, it seems that the team is poorly prepared for the new season.

I watched the whole game and it was one of those very weird games, I did not expected this to be anything at all because Bilbao looked like they would dominate and yet Getafe kept coming back for more and more and more. This is why I believe that we are going to do fine, we shouldn't be shocked with what we have, and we could do fine with this.

Let's see what other games will look like, it is not going to be easy, it is going to take a while for us to see which teams are doing how and to be able to bet and make a profit based on that. If we keep on betting like it's last year, we could make a mistake. That is why first weeks are always the hardest to bet, and we may not get the best result as we expect at any given moment.

I actually see both teams have not performed optimally in their first match and the tension of the match tends to be quite low and this draw is a bit lucky for Getafe because they are playing away and previously they were not favored so I think this is an important point for Getafe.

In the early weeks of the season it is difficult to predict matches and I think betting at the beginning of the season is a bit risky because we have not fully measured the strength of the competing teams.

And the results of another La Liga match between Real Betis vs Girona I was a little surprised when Girona was able to appear stunning and make the match end in a draw even though in the first half they were behind and overall I see that Girona is still the same as last season and that dismisses the speculation of many people who say that Girona this season will be down.

Facing Real Betis, Girona had a hard time witnessed by 54,086 spectators who filled the Benito Villamarin stadium.
Still in a lucky situation, they got 1 point in the 72nd minute. If Misehouy had not scored, Girona would have suffered their first defeat in round 1.
The competition that Girona will follow is not only La Liga, the Champions League is a competition that will force them to use various energies. If last season they were able to perform super, this season they may not be able to repeat it.

La Liga began and Girona quickly felt that how hard it is to maintain their excellent performances like the past season. In this season, they already lost some star players that will be one of disadvantage and impact their squad quality. This together with more attention from other clubs in La Liga, will put Girona at harder situation than the last season, where they were purely an underdog. In this season, they will have more difficulty to beat competitors in La Liga because better preparation and understanding of opponents on Girona, and decreasing quality of Girona too.

The competition that Girona will follow is not only La Liga, the Champions League is a competition that will force them to use various energies. If last season they were able to perform super, this season they may not be able to repeat it.

Playing in Champions League will be another challenge for a small club with limited player resource like Girona. This challenge is not easy to come through for a club with no experience in Champions League previous seasons.

The first match would actually be a good start if they managed to win it, but we also can't deny that currently both teams have not found their best performance in this match, but even so, it can be seen that both teams, Girona and Bilbao, have not been able to adapt to the team changes is happening at the moment, so I doubt they will be able to show the performance they showed last season, Bilbao, who appeared to dominate in that match failed to maintain their victory and I don't know what made Bilbao not field Nico Williams from the start of the match, because after the introduction of Nico Williams it was clear that Bilbao played better and were more aggressive in attacking, but unfortunately that is was too late because Getafe were actually aiming for a draw result in that match.

Talking about Girona, if we compare now with last season of course Girona is no longer the same after they lost their main squad, last season Girona appeared very spartan even when the league just started but now they are having difficulties even though they only faced Real Betis, so I am quite I'm sure that this season, Girona will probably return to the bottom team because they see that their game and the quality of their players are not as good as last season.

They should do better in the Champions League because the teams there are much better than most of the teams in La Liga. Of course Girona has no claim and will only go to the tournament to enjoy it, but if they still want to be successful, I think they have to learn how to win again. This shows us that they have to show a good performance like last year. I hope we will see that because Girona was a team full of surprises last year and they were very good.

[Dickiy]

The first 2 matches for La Liga where two surprise clubs (Bilbao and Girona) last season played today and the result was 1 point for each club with the same result where 1-1 was the score in 2 matches today.

Indeed,
Final result
draw match between Real Betis vs Girona

Girona's performance in the second half was better.

Source: Real Betis vs Girona

Great and successful substitution from Girona, Misehouy just came on in the 71st minute, and in the 72nd minute, he scored a goal. Excellent.

Girona's goalkeeper also performed very well with 3 saves made. This was a good start for Girona, with the result being a draw.

an interesting match, since the first half both teams attacked each other, Real Betis managed to score a goal in the 6th minute, to be honest Girona played well in possession of the ball, unfortunately in the first half their attackers were not good at taking positions and playing badly, the front line was not sharp enough
in the second half Girona played the same possession of the ball, Misehouy broke the deadlock and saved Girona from defeat,
my initial prediction Real Betis will win this match if you look at the records of both teams, Girona has never won at Real Betis' home, this makes Girona successful in being able to hold a draw.

[Cryptmuster]

As for Girona, everything is much more complicated, first of all because they have sold several very important players for the team, I think this will have an impact on the team.

After a surprising successful season like the last season, a small team like Girona have to face with big challenge from their star players and big clubs. Star players will want to find new challenges, join bigger clubs and get better income while there are many big clubs in Europe are ready to bring star players in Girona to their clubs.

With attraction of big clubs, better income and greater chance to win titles and enjoy Champions League regularly, it's hard for star players to refuse. With big bid offers from other clubs, Girona will hardly be able to refuse these offers.

And also an important role is played by the fact that Michel is negative and has spoken about the team being poorly prepared for the new season, some players returned late from vacation and did not have time to get into shape, but I think the main reason for his dissatisfaction is that Girona decided to sell their leaders, and he understands that it will be difficult for the team without them

It's not good preparation for a new season which can become nightmare for Girona but after all, they can be proud of what they achieved last season. It can be their biggest achievements in their player career but surely they can be ambitious and chase bigger achievements. In a new season, they will experience Champions League, a first ever and it'll create pressure on both coach and players during a season.

A draw away to Betis is not a bad result for the first leg, they played well, despite Michel complaining about the team's poor form, but Girona played a very good match. And there is positive news on the forward, Girona have found a replacement for Dovbyk, they bought Miovski from Aberdeen, a very promising forward, last season he scored 26 goals in 53 matches, which is certainly impressive, but we must not forget that the Scottish Championship is different from La Liga, so it is unlikely that he will be able to maintain the same performance in the new team.

Girona indeed failed to win in their first match but a draw is not a bad start either, especially since that 1 point is obtained through an away match. But I also agree with you, if Girona cannot improve their performance, then this will be a tough season for them because they will not only compete in La Liga but also have to play in the Champions League. With their current level and performance, it's still not enough to keep them safe in the Champions League.

[Ayers]

Basically friendly games are not an indication, if we say "Barcelona lost to Monaco so they are not looking good", we could also say "Barcelona beat Real Madrid they are looking strong" which one makes sense to you, I personally do not think that we are going to make that much sense by just saying which one makes sense, it is not really that complicated to make that sense and we should not be looking at it like an important game, it's only just friendly games and we can't really make a deduction from it at all. We are going to face Barcelona doing decent enough but I still expect second place for them.
Real Madrid looks such a good team that we are going to end up with them winning the league without a doubt, it will not be really that easy to handle at all. We are going to see this changing so it should be something that could give a good result in the end. This should be very careful without a doubt but a second place is all they could get this year.

Preseason friendly are like nice appetizers before a large meal - they look good but don't reveal the whole story.
Barcelona, for example. They were scattered against Monaco and Real Madrid. Coach Xavi is certainly testing his best lineup and strategies. Thats smart, but we shouldnt overinterpret the outcomes. Even in meaningless friendlies, Real Madrid looks sharp. Well-organized, confident, and hungry. They're the team to beat now.
Barcelona or another team may surprise us and take the show. Its what makes this sport amazing. Real Madrid is much stronger. They have skill, experience, and momentum. Barcelona must improve to keep up.
My opinion is my own, however I've played this game for a while and know what Im talking about. genuine Madrid is the genuine deal and wont be stopped.

Pre-season friendlies and their results dictate nothing. Even if a team loses all their matches, we can't write them off. Pre season is all about coaches finding out the right players in their starting XIs. Testing out as many players as they can. That's what preseason is all about.

If talking about Barcelona and Real Madrid specifically, they had decent preseasons each. Both teams have a decent squad to work with, especially Real. A lot of talents to browse through, and star players too. They kicked off well and might end up with 1/2 trophies in the end. Barca also trying their best to find the sweet spot, with a new gaffer in the club. La Liga should be interesting in 24/25, with Atletico also strengthening their team.

Girona indeed failed to win in their first match but a draw is not a bad start either, especially since that 1 point is obtained through an away match. But I also agree with you, if Girona cannot improve their performance, then this will be a tough season for them because they will not only compete in La Liga but also have to play in the Champions League. With their current level and performance, it's still not enough to keep them safe in the Champions League.

Girona's results in La Liga last year were exceptional, because due to their budget and population size, it is not normal for them to fight for the top positions, and they were normally a second division team. We had a similar case years ago with Deportivo de La Coruña, now in the second division, but who shone and managed to win a league and two Copa del Rey.
