La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[W Jr.]

I lost my bet because of Real Madrid's defeat, there was only one game left, which was this Real Madrid game. Honestly, with this defeat, Real Madrid doesn't inspire confidence in me, even Vinicius Júnior was substituted. The players didn't have much determination on the field. The next game will be at Real Madrid's home, but I won't bet on Real Madrid, I'd rather just watch the game to see if I'll see any improvement in performance.

They drew against Mallorca, that wasn't an outright loss but then it cost you your game, I sympathize with you mate. Actually vinicius wasn't at his best in that game and it was obvious, since it's like the first game of the season it may not be of an extreme importance to them but subsequently they may do much better nevertheless they got their 700th goal under the management of Ancelotti in that game which for them it was a height achieved, we all wished they had started off the season with a better result probably you would have won your bet and even the fans would be happy their team is starting of so well.

I think there will be many people who bet on Real Madrid. Unfortunately, these people lost their bets in the first week. When Real Madrid scored in the early minutes, I thought they would score 2-3 more goals, but I was wrong and they had to settle for a draw with Mallorca's goal. It may be one of the worst games of the year for Real Madrid, but since it was the first game, it can be compensated.

Real Madrid was going to be legendary but they lost points in the first match of this season. Sometimes even the most reliable things can fail. It is good for you not to bet on Real Madrid because if you did, you would trust Real Madrid like me. Today was a bad day for many gamblers. Imagine, Real Madrid is a team with the best squad in the world and they lose points in their first match.

On the other hand, Mallarco also proved how full a team they are. They benefit incredibly from Vedat Muriqi, he was the name that saved the match.

True, and who thought that Mallorca can do such a great match against a team full of talented players, new recruits and a good coach. That doesn’t mean Real Madrid is not a reliable team for betting but only proves the point that gambling and betting is unpredictable. I bet that Mallorca won’t win the next few matches even against weaker opponents than them, because if you noticed that any small team playing against top teams in Europe, they give it everything to show their strength, and the players are trying to create attention for themselves.

Real Madrid should now revise their options, as they have many players each one is trying to show himself alone, not playing as a whole team is the reason why PSG always failed. We have seen many substitution from Ancelotti but he couldn’t find the holigrill of Real Madrid yet. However, I’m sure that Real Madrid is going to perform way better in the next matches.

[Weawant]

Mbappe debut with Madrid in La Liga did not go well and with a very perfect squad of course it is very strange for us to see Madrid achieve 1 point, so this shows that a perfect squad will not make perfect on their way to winning the championship trophy, Madrid Before the match it was clear that they were very favored in this match, especially  the opponent they faced was Mallorca which in fact is the bottom team in La Liga, but what we saw at the end of the match was actually the opposite of what we previously predicted, if you compare the squad that Mallorca and Madrid is clearly something that we can't really reason on just because it's their first match in La Liga, because after all Madrid actually has played their first official match in Super UEFA some time ago, so in my opinion the draw against Mallorca is certainly worthy of Ancelotti evaluation at the moment.
Apart from that, in my opinion, the draw achieved by Mallorca was the result of their hard work and you can also see how Mallorca made Madrid lose their sharpness when Mallorca piled up their players in front of the goal, isn't that an effective tactic to face a club that has a dangerous attack line?

Seeing too many big names in a team is a very valid reason for bigger expectations because bigger names to many means bigger results which isn't an unrealistic expectation but when such expectations aren't met yet, it's much better that we accept and keep hoping. In that game Mallorca focused my h energy on their defense and it turned out really productive for them such that they got just exactly what they had wanted off the game. This wasn't mbappes actually debut for Madrid as his initial debut was a huge success, this was his first la Liga game which I believe wasn't really bad it's just the high expectations that made it seem like their performance wasn't good enough.

[Leviathan.007]

Hansi Flick is working from knowledge. He's a winner, and he'll have this team ready to adapt and overcome. Of course, Valencia is going to resist. But I think they'll be going away with three points when the last whistle sounds. This Barcelona team is built to win, and they gonna start the season off strong.

Valencia were leading already and have had the best chances in the game which they should have been able to convert more opportunities. They should have scored two by now because they have been able to find ways through the Barcelona Defense, but they couldn't before Barcelona turned up the heat to score one back to get leveled.
Valencia have not played bad at all, they can win this game in the second half if Barcelona do not correct their errors from the first half, and if they convert more of the chances that they create.

 

It was not a good game for Barcelona regardless of the result they got in this match against Valencia. Barcelona won the game in this match and they had a good performance thanks to the experienced forward they had but the bad thing in this match was about their young player Alejandro Balde.
Alejandro Balde got injured during this match and he left the field, he was worried and this made the fans think they would lose Alejandro Balde for some weeks in Barcelona but a few hours after the game between Barcelona and Valencia, they said it was not hard enough to make him lose some games.

[Minecache]

Real Madrid started well but after half-time Mallorca attacked strongly and equalized in the 53rd minute. Real Madrid tried hard until the last minute but could not get the game back but they drew the match. It's really unbelievable that a strong team like Real Madrid lost to a normal team at the beginning of the season. But I watched the game and most of the time in this game Mallorca players over attacked they were very strong in attack. However, Real Madrid also attacked a lot but were not able to successfully, due to which their subsequent attacks failed after the game was drawn. All in all the game was very exciting with both teams trying to win but the match ended in a draw and they shared the points. Real Madrid's early season performance left fans confused.

I am sure many gamblers like me lost their money in this match. Everyone considered Real Madrid as the favorite and bet on Madrid to win. There was no reason to think of Mallorca as favorites in this match. And it was difficult to predict that this match would be a draw. Because Mallorca was not a strong opponent for Real Madrid. Even last season the Mallorca team was 15th in the table.
Real Madrid did not perform well in this match. I thought we would see a more composed performance from Madrid. I thought that since Madrid have a strong midfield and attack, Madrid will definitely play aggressive from the start of the match. But Madrid played very defensive in the first half. Even in the second half, the team did not get a chance to attack much.

The draw was clearly disappointing for Real Madrid but they have to realize that they did perform badly and there is a problem that they have to solve. Real Madrid tends to play attacking football in this match, but when faced with opponents they play a bus parking strategy, they seem to have lost their creativity, and what is quite worrying is that there is no balance when it comes to defense, thus giving Mallorca plenty of room to make their attempt.

Real Madrid's squad is full of young players. There are no experienced players in the squad. So I thought we weren't going to get a lot of good performances from this team at the start of the season. Players also need time to bond. But after the excellent performance against Atalanta, my expectations from Real Madrid increased. This Madrid squad played well against Atalanta. This is why I bet on Real Madrid to win. But Madrid failed to perform well against Mallorca.

Every player in Real Madrid's midfield is talented. But in this match I felt lack of experienced players in the squad. Without Toni Kross or Luka Modrich in the squad, Madrid's overall performance would undoubtedly have been stronger. But I believe that gradually with the help of Ancelotti, this squad of Madrid will become stronger. Because every player in the squad is very talented.

[SmartCharpa]

Barcelona didn't have an easy job at all though. It was like they were waiting for Valencia to score to start performing better.    Lewandowski was on his very good day that he scored two goals. It is good to see him being beneficial for his team. Because he is one of top earners in the squad now. Therefore the expectations are bigger as well.

I still believe it could be his last year at Barcelona on one hand. He is 35 and has 2 years left on his contract. If he plays much extra this season then maybe the team could consider keeping him for one last year.

Barcelona started well and scored their first goal as Valencia scored in the first half, Barcelona conceded the first goal, I thought they wanted to disappoint their fans, as they always do, but they proved me wrong and made a comeback to secure the three points in their first away game of the season, Lewandowski scored two goals in their first game of the season, but I don't think Barcelona will consider him as their main striker after this season because he is 35 years old and will turn 36 this month, I believe Barcelona would prefer to have a striker under the age of 30 to compete with Real Madrid.

Furthermore, it's a good start of this season for Hansi Flick to win his first La Liga game as Barcelona's head coach, this is just the beginning of the season, and we don't have to praise or believe that he will continue with Xavi Hernandez level, despite that they didn't have any new players in their squad, but I believe that in the next 5 to 6 weeks will decide whether he is the best manager to improve the squad using the available players.

You can't even imagine the amount of people that actually made this bet and with all the expectations on real Madrid what do you expect will be the results if anything go wrong ? Well the results as would be will be a devastating one and it did affect the gambling world at a very large extent because so many people have lost their bet and some crazy gamblers like Drake would have even staked so much on this game that's if he is finds it interesting to bet on although his stakes are majorly on games with no or little expectations of winning.

You lost your ticket but Madrid did not lost the match, they share the points. It was a disappointing game thou because the midfield was nothing to write home about, there was no creativity and pass accuracy. Modric wasn't himself because I can't even remember how many times he lost possession. We are going to watch series of drama this season that will probably lead to fight between Mbappe and Vini since both of them choose to play for themselves and being selfish.

Really can't believe the result with all the players they have. Ancelotti needs to instill discipline on some of these players especially Vini who is easily provoked and gets out of the game because of immaturity. Madrid would have won that game but sadly they played against each other instead of playing together as a team. Mind you, this is just the beginning and there's still a long way to go.

It may be one of the worst games of the year for Real Madrid, but since it was the first game, it can be compensated.

The results of this match are understandable because this is the start of the season. But if in the second week the same results happen again then it will be difficult to understand and will be difficult to understand. But what is more difficult to understand is that there were too many draws in this first week. Which causes many of us to lose in bets for those who favor one of the teams.

I hope Real Madrid can show more dominance in the second week when they face Valladolid. because it would be quite surprising if Real Madrid again failed to get full points in the second week. For now I hope Atletico Madrid and Valladolid don't disappoint me. Because maybe I will favorite them in today's match.

Where did you get this photo?

I specifically watched the replay of the match at the minute indicated in your photo 22:46, and there were only 8 Mallorca players, maybe you will see this for yourself if you watch the match. And in your photo there are 11 Mallorca players on the field and a goalkeeper, which cannot even correspond to reality.

Mallorca focused on defense, this is expected, most teams play against Real Madrid exactly like this, but they not only defended but also created quite a lot of good moments and could even score more, so I consider this draw a fair result. This is how Barcelona has an advantage over Real Madrid from the first round, unexpectedly, but for the intrigue in La Liga this is good.

[Luzin]

Madrid would have won that game but sadly they played against each other instead of playing together as a team. Mind you, this is just the beginning and there's still a long way to go.

The start of the match was not good, but I feel it was fair. Madrid did not play well. Looking at the list of players that Madrid played is very extraordinary, they should be able to win. But I see there is a big problem. Against Mallorca they did not have a balance. Balance in attacking or defending. Ancelloti has Vini, Belingham, Mbaape, Valverde, and Rodrygo. They have excellent attacking ability. But in Madrid's defense is bad, they only have Tchouameni who has better defensive skills. Practically they have a very difficult time getting the ball when they lose possession. It seems that Ancelotti must immediately improve this condition. Madrid must be balanced, so that they are able to play more dominantly. They must play as a team instead of an individual.

[KTChampions]

I said Real Madrid would be the champion by far, but they drew against Mallorca in their first match.
This draw will definitely be a negative point for Ancelotti.
Because the match was 1-1 and there was no substitution until the 87th minute. He made 3 substitutions 3 minutes before the end of the match (normal time). Of course, the changes made at that time did not bring much benefit, but if these changes had been made in the 70th minute, the score could have been different.
The starting 11 players were not effective. I hope Ancelotti has learned from this result. Because even Real Madrid's reserves can easily play for the La Liga championship.

It was definitely an unplanned loss of points, but I don't see any reason to draw any conclusions from it. After a summer that was busy for all the top players, you can't expect the teams to be in good shape at the start of the season. Real should win games like this with any lineup and condition, but still, randomness sometimes works against them. But there is a good opportunity to bet on Real's next game, I have already done so.

[naira]

Real Madrid should now revise their options, as they have many players each one is trying to show himself alone, not playing as a whole team is the reason why PSG always failed. We have seen many substitution from Ancelotti but he couldn’t find the holigrill of Real Madrid yet. However, I’m sure that Real Madrid is going to perform way better in the next matches.

The result was quite disappointing because Madrid in the second half gave a lot of empty space in the middle line, so that Mallorca players took advantage of the space to steal points. It's only a matter of time for Ancelotti to find his best game, if we see Mbappe and Vinicius always attack from the left side, that means Mbappe can't be in the middle because he is not the type of attacker who is quiet and receives passes. Benzema who previously wore the number 9 jersey gave the left and right sides to Vinicius and Rodrygo to focus on being reliable passers. For now, Mbappe is still awkward and can't play the same role. In my opinion, if Ancelotti doesn't solve this position problem, it will be difficult to have his best attack.

This is how Barcelona has an advantage over Real Madrid from the first round, unexpectedly, but for the intrigue in La Liga this is good.

It must be difficult if the opposing team plays with total defense. The first half Mallorca was not very defensive based on the available statistics Mallorca made 10 clearances while Real Madrid made 13. In the second half Mallorca only practiced a defensive game after the equalizer occurred.
For those who do not like Real Madrid, of course the draw that occurred is a reason to compare Real Madrid with their support team. For example, Barcelona fans who are very likely to highlight Kylan Mbappe who failed to provide victory.

Agree. In the early minutes, Real Madrid's defense line didn't look very good. But in the attack line I still see Vini Jr and the others working together well from the start. It's just that I see Mbappe sometimes pushing too hard to shoot the ball instead of passing it back to another player who is in a better position. I hope Real Madrid doesn't become a club that puts too much emphasis on individual play. Because I prefer this team to play patiently and work together very well as usual. But overall there are no serious problems in this team. It's just that some improvements need to be made, such as in the back line. And I hope that in the attack line all the players can be calmer and don't need to rush. Because the results were not as good as seen in that match.

Mallorca's defense did look so solid in the match that it made it difficult for Real Madrid players to develop their game. I also see the weakness in the midfield as the reason why the match could end in a draw, apart from the finishing which may also have not been optimally utilized. Mallorca even got two great opportunities to break into Real Madrid's goal even though the opportunities failed to be maximized.

There will always be comparisons for Real Madrid and Barcelona fans because the rivalry between the two has been going on for so long. Even in the era of Ronaldo and Messi, this has happened where both fans have compared. Mbappe did not play badly in the match and I think it was just luck that was not on his side.

Although Mallorca played with a defensive strategy and waited a lot in the back line, they were able to take advantage of the moment when they got a chance to attack. The strategy they implemented in this match was so effective that it could make them achieve good results. Getting a draw against a team like Real Madrid is a good result, because at least they avoided defeat. Yes, you are right, there will definitely be many people who don't like Real Madrid will start comparing the results of the matches they achieved in the first week, and of course Mbappe will get a lot of attention. But I think they don't have to rush, because it's still very early, the real journey has just begun.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

The first match of the day in Spanish La Liga will be played between Valladolid and Espanyol. Valladolid finished second in the Spanish 2nd Division and were promoted to Spanish La Liga. Espanyol, just like Valladolid, were in the Spanish 2nd Division last season. They finished 4th in the Spanish 2nd Division. After the playoffs they were promoted to the Spanish La Liga. This match could be a battle of two equal powers. I don't usually bet on matches like this. But Valladolid made better signings in the transfer window than their opponents. I think they will be the favorites in this match today.

[Spaceman1000$]

Real Madrid vs Mallorca

Real Madrid XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy, Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Mbappe.

Mallorca XI: Greif, Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica, Costa, Mascarell, Dani, Darder, Asano, Muriqi.

Mbappe will start his first Laliga match against Mallorca tonight at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, what is your thoughts about Mbappe's first match.

A really solid win is on the horizon. I can feel it.    Ancelotti doesn't want to cut Rodrygo from the starting lineup after Mbappe signing. This is why he prefers a 4-3-3 formation, Bellingham being one of the members of the middle three.

I was expecting so. Rodrygo is also one of the important players for Real Madrid. This must be enough to put an end to Manchester City rumours for him. I assume he would also rather staying in this situation.

Real Madrid has built another dream team I believe. A really scary team to dominate not only the La Liga but also the Champions League.  

Reading your beautiful words, honestly if I had read them before the game started, I would have been much more motivated than I was. But now that the game is over I see that I had high expectations about Real Madrid that do not correspond to reality and definitely your words are also far from reality, because Real Madrid drew and only managed to score 1 goal. I see that with the arrival of Mbappe nothing has changed in terms of the team's performance. By that I mean that it is possible that Real Madrid will not consider becoming champions this season. In the first game Real Madrid conceded 1 goal, that is not a good thing.

Mallorca 1 - 1 Real Madrid



I lost my bet because of Real Madrid's defeat, there was only one game left, which was this Real Madrid game. Honestly, with this defeat, Real Madrid doesn't inspire confidence in me, even Vinicius Júnior was substituted. The players didn't have much determination on the field. The next game will be at Real Madrid's home, but I won't bet on Real Madrid, I'd rather just watch the game to see if I'll see any improvement in performance.

Actually I do not know what could have gone wrong with real Madrid because I still don't know understand how a team that comfortably beat atalanta in the super cup cannot beat real marlloca in their first match of the league, could it be fatigue? Wrong strategy or one of those days when it seems as if nothing was going to work, perhaps this is not the Real Madrid we all expect to see, they weren't at their best considering the fact that they had all their best players on the pitch and even more on the bench, this must be such a disappointing start for the team, the coach and the fans and i hope they recover from it and get their first win of the season.

[henmark]

The fact that there are still some people who end up believing that Barcelona may win the league is a great achievement for Barcelona, I see it 0% chance right now, but people did vote for that option at the poll. While I do find it quite funny that Real Madrid got a tie on the very first game, and that is normally not that good looking because they should be able to beat Mallorca easily, so this doesn't really look good for them, they are still by far the better team.

Barcelona is not even remotely close to being as good as Real Madrid right now, which is a shame because we watched these two teams battle it out for over a decade, probably for far longer than that but I remember just the last 25 years or so, and it was so much fun, it looks like not that close anymore.
