La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[arimamib]

Three matches have been played in the La Liga competition so far. If I talk about the first 2, both of them have been drawn. I really thought we were going to see a win in the Girona match. Because you know Girona has performed well in the last season. But I guess as this is the start of the season, they are a bit rusty. As the season progresses, they will start to perform better. But if they actually want to have good competition for the La Liga title, they will have to win matches like these. Because otherwise there is going to be a big difference in terms of points created between them and Barcelona or Real Madrid. The next match for Girona is going to be against Atletico Madrid and that is going to be much harder.

In today's match between Las Palmas vs Sevilla seems it will also end up as drawn, both teams produced 1 own goal each lol 

Several teams have played their first match of the season and it seems that many of the matches we saw on the first day ended in a draw. Las Palmas vs Sevilla ended with a score of 2-2 and only Celta managed to achieve maximum results by beating Alaves with a score of 2-1.

In tomorrow's match Valencia vs Barcelona which might be a big match because both teams have many quality players in their squad. I want to see Hansi Flick succeed in his debut match because that will make him more confident in the next match.
By the way, many of Barcelona's main players will miss their first match this season because some of them are still not recovering from the injuries they suffered. I think that in tomorrow's match, Hansi Flick's team will emerge victorious because in the statistics of the second meeting, Valencia had difficulty winning against the team called the Blaugrana.

[Ndabagi01]

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.

This is not a bad start for the team even though this was not what was expected to be the outcome of the match. They still have a lot of time to repair their mistakes and they should do that in a jiffy because the earlier they do it, the better for them and how far they can go in the league. The champions league also awaits them, and performance like this can’t make them go that far in the champions league if they don’t improve.

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.

Preseason are not used to judge the best performance of a team or what they’re going to be like when the season finally begins. It’s majorly use to test new players, and try out new strategies before the main league begins. I have seen a lot of teams that have played poorly in the preseason and did better in the main league and also have happened the other way round.

Still early though , every team testing her strength let's give it some time ..
About the injury, I don't think it's just only gonna be the first match only but maybe not too much , I could see de Jong,Gavi and Pedri recovered already but I don't think he will be risking them at the moment especially  pedri and Gavi , De jong missed half  of last season game due his injury I think he should have recovered more, same with Gavi .... Hansi Flick needs to find a way to deal with this injury of a thing resting, I don't know how he will do it but he needs to rest players on regular basis because ar rge moment they can't afford to have more injuries in the team.

Without having to worry about betting on Barca and Real Madrid's victory, although it is a bit difficult to predict the Osasuna vs Leganés match, but believe me Osasuna will appear at home and can collect the first 3 points.
As long as Osasuna is consistent, I am sure victory will be easy to get
Barça and Real Madrid should also not be able to lose points because at the beginning of the season like this, popular clubs usually take advantage of the unstable conditions of other clubs.

Current odds.
* Osasuna @ 1.88
* Real Madrid @ 1.46
* Barcelona @ 1.7

The way the odds are even placed by Stake.com, it becomes obvious that even Stake.com is confident in Madrid and Barcelona winning their first la Liga games of the season, of a Truth it's very possible too with osasuna winning their own game too, they aren't a weak side but they aren't a tough one either. Getting a good start at the beginning of the season is of utmost importance as it will give that good starting point for the team so in the days of decline, they will still have a reason not to fall really terribly, its normal for all other big teams to take advantage of the smaller ones to win their games at the beginning of the season.

In my opinion, it seems that the bookmakers are looking at Barcelona for fear of losing. Just look at the value of the odds, which are now at @1.72. This type of odds is given by the bookmakers when there is some uncertainty about the outcome of the game. It seems to me that what the bookmakers are looking at is Barcelona's weak squad and their new coach. Valencia is not a great team. Under normal conditions, Barcelona would have odds of @1.35 in this game, but since they have a new coach and the squad is not the best, it is expected that this will be a game in which Valencia can get a draw. In any case, I don't see Barcelona winning this game easily, which is why I won't bet on Barcelona to win. I prefer to bet on Real Madrid.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

The new season has started with 4 matches already passed and 3 matches ended in a draw while Celta Vigo took over the top of the standings for some time, today we have 2 more matches one of them is Valencia vs Barcelona so will Barcelona take over the standings? we are still waiting for this and it is expected that there will be many goals or both teams have the opportunity to score goals. Apart from that, we are also waiting for Real Madrid first match with several new players and we already expected Real Madrid and Barcelona to compete for the title, almost everyone predicts Real Madrid will secure the title but we have to wait at least a few games.

[TelolettOm]

For the kind of strength Girona did displayed last season a d how decently they finished, this isn't an excellent start up not with a team as real betis, betis isn't very weak tho but they are good enough to be classed with Girona and yet they had a draw with them rho they where playing from home.

The departure of Girona's striker and their captain certainly had quite an impact on the club's situation. But at least, they did their best in this first match, even though it was quite worrying at first, but finally they were able to draw against one of the strong clubs in La Liga.

anyway,
Celta Vigo became the first club to win a La Liga match this season, after previously, the results of the other clubs' matches all ended in draws.
Celta Vigo 2 vs 1 Alaves

And what caught the eye in this match was: Celta Vigo's second goal scorer was Iago Aspas who is 37 years old.

This season after Real Madrid bought Mbapep they will have more fans interested in watching the games of this team in stadiums. that's normal to see Real Madrid increase the price of tickets in this season to get more benefits considering the players they bought and the inflation during this year. But the fans of Real Madrid are now going to pay the minimum of 95 euros for in the cheapest situation which is going to be against Valladolid.
If I'm not wrong they increased the price of tickets by more than 70 percent.

I think the decision to bring a superstar to join the club is burdening Real Madrid now. The rise in ticket prices reflects Real Madrid's quest for more revenue. I saw some complaints about this on X. But, some loyal Madrid fans don't see it as a problem.

And, that's going to be a very interesting debut by Mbappe in La Liga. It's worth the ticket price. But, a 70% increase is big. It will pay off to watch the match against Valladolid soon.

Hopefully, there will be an adjustment in the price of ticket.

[FinePoine0]

Your expectations will only run 50%, Bilbao won from Getafe, it makes sense, they are playing a home game & still have Nico in their team, will make this match their first 3 point field. The other 50% will fail, because Real Betis is also playing a home game, i hope Real Betis can win this game because they are on my betting slip.

It looks like both of us have failed.    I mean I was able to predict Betis - Girona game to end up with a draw but failed about Athletic Bilbao. I believe it was because of Nico Williams' not being a starter also. Subbing him in the last 20 minutes? Are you serious?

Girona were really seeming like they would lose at halftime. Because they played really poorly in the first half. But after some improvement they stole one point by 1-1. Playing away against Betis is always difficult for most teams in the La Liga. They lost home only 3 times last season. Congrats to people who bet on both teams to score for this one. I think it was logical to bet on. It seemed risky to bet on a side to me honestly as it was just the beginning.

I never imagined that Girona team would perform so poorly at the start of the game, although Betis players managed to score from a corner kick. But the players of the Girona team did not realize that it was going to be a goal, but without panicking, they continued to perform for a long time and the players of the Girona team were in the attack. And in the end they also managed to score a goal which was a counter attack, a counter attack so scary they prepared to score it in front of the goalkeeper and succeeded.

Hopefully, there will be an adjustment in the price of ticket.

Real Madrid have pressure from consequences of Covid-19 like other clubs and by spending very big fund for Mbappe, their finance is affected negatively but they will cover it with T-shirt sales with Mbappe number and name on it. Years ago, Juventus bought Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid with expensive cost but through T-shirt sales, they got that spending back very quickly.

Mbappe is one of brightest and greatest super star players recent years and will continue to be one of best players in coming years. He has many fans and it can help Real Madrid to get cost spent for this transfer and salary payment to Mbappe. I believe that they are smart enough to assess cost and benefit math very well before getting Mbappe from PSG.

The ticket price increase will make their fans disappointed but early reactions will disappear and they will soon fell familiar with this new ticket price.

Celta Vigo came from behind and won. Playing at home, Celta had actually scored the equalizer in the first half but it was disallowed for a slight offside. In the second half they scored the two winning goals. Both Swedberg and Aspas' goals were very good. Celta knows how to attack in an organized way. By starting the league with a win, Celta showed that they are aiming for higher places. Alaves was a team Celta should have beaten anyway, if they were aiming for the European competition spots.

Swedberg was exceptional in that game. It's unbelievable to see he's been so amazing in his mixed minutes for Celta the last 10 months. And i see a very big talent in him, a very underrated player. And that's impressive to see Aspas has rescued us in the late game and score his first goal this season. This 37 years old guy still always where he needs to be. It seems Aspas is starting his mission earlier to save us from relegation like last season.

Truly, Celta Vigo's legend.

[mamesso]

The new season has started with 4 matches already passed and 3 matches ended in a draw while Celta Vigo took over the top of the standings for some time, today we have 2 more matches one of them is Valencia vs Barcelona so will Barcelona take over the standings? we are still waiting for this and it is expected that there will be many goals or both teams have the opportunity to score goals. Apart from that, we are also waiting for Real Madrid first match with several new players and we already expected Real Madrid and Barcelona to compete for the title, almost everyone predicts Real Madrid will secure the title but we have to wait at least a few games.

Celta Vigo are the only team to have won all four games played this season, taking them to the top of the table temporarily while they await the results of their other games. The Valencia vs Barcelona match is very crucial for Hansi Flick, he who is playing his first match since being appointed coach after Xavi departure must give the best results on his debut. This match is not easy for Barcelona because they will start the match at Valencia headquarters. Barcelona also has to race against time because some of their players have not been successfully registered with La Liga. Dani Olmo, who was recently recruited from Leipzig, has not been registered until now, Barcelona must find a solution so that the newly recruited player can play immediately.

This is just the beginning getting 3 points in the first match is not something to be proud of now they have to fight until the end if they want to achieve maximum results, but yes I appreciate their victory against Alaves because their opponent is also not a club that can be underestimated if we compare last season Alaves is better than Celta Vigo but it seems that this club has made improvements to be better than last season for the next match he will face Valencia.

The first match Barcelona vs Valencia tomorrow I will favor Barcelona to win in this match even though they come as guests because Valencia is not a strong club to face one of the favorite clubs in Laliga apart from there being some Barcelona players who have not been registered but most of them still have good players retain players from last season.

A good start for Celta Vigo in La Liga with 3 points in last night's match, both teams were in the middle of the standings last season, showing balanced strength, the advantage for Vigo is playing at home, and this is the first 3 points in a La Liga club after previously other clubs got a draw.

statistical records show Celta Vigo won with ball possession.

yes I salute this one player "aspas" even though his age is approaching retirement but in last night's match he played impressively, and managed to create a goal to close out Vigo's victory

What do you think about this match? This season is not going to be easy for Barcelona and Hansi Flick. Hansi Flick's main target is to use the team's young players properly. If hansi Flick can use the young players correctly then Barcelona will compete for the title this season as well. I know Real Madrid's squad is stronger and more experienced than Barcelona's. But Barcelona's squad also has plenty of talented young players.

Valencia is not a strong team. So bookih consider Barcelona as favorite in this match. The chances of this match being a draw is also very low. Barcelona will certainly not want to drop points in the first match of the season. Barcelona players will fight hard to win the match. However, Barcelona have a past record of dropping points against lesser teams. So Barcelona must play carefully. But I don't think Barcelona will make any mistakes in this match. Because Valencia's defense is not strong. The overall gameplay of this team is also weak.

Celta Vigo deserved to win this match even though they were 1 goal behind but the aggressive play they showed managed to turn things around, in my opinion because they played at home also had a little influence which made them more confident in this match but whatever it is, winning this opening match is quite important for Celta Vigo.
And on the other hand Alaves has also shown its best performance and if we look at the whole of these two teams are not much different compared to last season.

Iago Aspas, who is already 37 years old, is still playing quite well and he is even still a starter in this match. At an age that is no longer young, but in terms of quality and physicality, Iago Aspas is still quite good, that is an extraordinary thing in my opinion.

Barcelona had a completely unsuccessful season under coach Xavi, they could not defend their La Liga title. Real Madrid are currently dominating the domestic league. With the arrival of coach Hansi Flick to replace Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona has many positive changes. They play faster, more direct attacks instead of making too many complicated passes in the midfield area. We have reason to hope that the German strategist will rebuild and bring titles to Barcelona.

I must emphasize that Barcelona's attack is very scary, especially after the strong explosion of young striker Lamine Yamal at EURO 2024. With a defense playing quite poorly, Valencia will likely have to suffer defeat against Barcelona in the opening match. Although missing some key players, Barcelona's squad is still quite strong overall. Combined with their extremely superior head-to-head record, we can be confident that Barcelona will win this match.

I think Valencia will be a tough opponent for Barcelona, ​​especially since this is a home game for Valencia. It will be difficult to steal full points for Barcelona and maybe the worst chance is to end in a draw with goals exchanged. If we look at H2H last season where Barcelona played the same away game they could only draw, so as I said before this is not easy for Barcelona.

If you think Valencia's defense is so weak, maybe you are wrong and honestly they are quite solid for their back line. Sometimes Valencia finds it harder to score goals than to concede goals so that's why they found it quite difficult to concede goals during last season and were always able to hold back every opponent. What is clear is that if you want to bet on Barcelona, ​​of course you have to be prepared for the possibilities but as long as you are sure it doesn't matter. For me this will still be an event to steal points for both teams so the over 2.5 goal result will be much safer.

Valencia who will play at home certainly has a greater motivation to be able to win the first match of La Liga this season and of course this will be a difficult match for both of them.
However, if we look at the strength of the Valencia team, it is not better than Barcelona, ​​​​especially in the pre-season match, Valencia was only able to win 2 times out of 8 trial matches they did before starting this season, and I think we can measure the strength of the team from the match at least and Valencia does not seem to make major changes to be better again this season.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is experiencing many problems but they continue to build the team to be better regardless of whatever happens later but there is a big effort for that.

With Odds @ 1.70 for Barcelona's victory, I think it is quite worthy to bet on, regarding playing away I think it does not have a significant effect on the Barcelona team who have a strong mentality, they certainly also have a big motivation to be able to win their first match.

[Gallar]

Yes, Celta Vigo is able to completely dominate this match, so it is natural that Celta Vigo can win this match. Because apart from the advantage of playing at home, if you look at the quality of the players, Celta Vigo is clearly superior to Alaves. So I'm not surprised Celta Vigo won this match. Maybe the reason Celta Vigo conceded first in this match was because the Celta Vigo defender was too forward, so when the Alaves player sent a high pass, the Celta Vigo defender lost his step and failed to block the high pass. Apart from that, in that match Celta Vigo should have scored 3 goals, but because one goal was caught offside, the referee disallowed the goal. Then talking about Lago Aspas, in this match the performance was still very good. It was proven that in that match he was able to score one goal against Alaves with full confidence. Maybe that's why Lago Aspas is still retained by Celta Vigo and is the team captain to this day. However, apart from Lago Aspas, I was also very impressed with Williot, because in that match he was able to score the opening goal for Celta Vigo. And with Celta Vigo's victory in this match, they can sit at the top of the Laliga standings for a while.

They play faster, more direct attacks instead of making too many complicated passes in the midfield area. We have reason to hope that the German strategist will rebuild and bring titles to Barcelona.

When Koeman was the coach of Barcelona, ​​the situation of Barcelona was terrible. Barcelona was a completely upset team. Xavi stabilized the team and became La Liga champions. But he could not fully stabilize this party due to lack of adequate funds. As a result, last season we saw erratic performances from Barcelona. For this reason, Barcelona sacked Xavi and assigned Hansi Flick.

Whether Hansi Flick can strengthen Barcelona is yet to be said for sure. But in friendly matches we have seen good performances from Barcelona. The bonding between the players is good. Also Flick's match strategy was good in friendly matches.

I must emphasize that Barcelona's attack is very scary, especially after the strong explosion of young striker Lamine Yamal at EURO 2024. With a defense playing quite poorly, Valencia will likely have to suffer defeat against Barcelona in the opening match. Although missing some key players, Barcelona's squad is still quite strong overall. Combined with their extremely superior head-to-head record, we can be confident that Barcelona will win this match.

Barcelona's attack will likely consist of Lewandowski, Yamal and Raphinha next season. Yamal performed brilliantly at the Euros. If he can perform well with Barcelona as well then Barcelona will surely fight for the title this season. But I would say Hansi Flick should be more serious about Barcelona's defense. Barcelona's defense is still relatively weak.
