La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[rendravolt]

Tomorrow the second match of the league has started again and the clubs that will play include:
Celta de Vigo vs Valencia
Sevilla vs Villareal
Osasuna vs Mallorca
With the odds below


Big clubs like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid have not appeared so I will avoid betting on tomorrow's match because I think these clubs are quite difficult to predict. Villareal and Mallorca last week drew against top clubs Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid so they might make it difficult for Sevilla and Osasuna in the match.

Actually, some of these matches are just as difficult to predict as other elite team matches. Just look at the odds, they are not much different and can almost be said to be balanced. But one thing is for sure, there will be one winner in this match and it could be one of the teams that we don't favor. On the other hand, a draw is still strong here so it is quite impossible to take risks even if you get tempting odds.

One thing is for sure, we have to minimize the risk with other options such as handicap bets with a 0.25 or 0.5 advantage and even though the odds we get decrease, at least we are still on the safe path to winning the bet. Well, if without betting I would favor Valencia, Villarreal, and Osasuna who will collect 3 points.

If Barcelona were not struggling financially, I don't think they would have let a player of Gundogan caliber leave, as Hansi Flick himself knows the former Manchester City captain abilities very well. It seems that everyone was surprised by the Gundogan transfer, and did not expect Barcelona to do it, this is another setback that has surfaced. Besides, Hansi Flick will surely feel that his task will be even harder going forward, and now it makes sense to understand why Xavi overreacted to the club finances in the last season. If Barcelona still have ambitions to sign Nico Williams, then we will see another surprise transfer, Barcelona will certainly have to let go of more players to make it happen.

Bad news for Barcelona after releasing mutual contract for Ikay Gundogan and have return back to Manchester City with free transfer to make Barcelona's financial better and has opportunity registering their new players Dani Olmo.
Actually Ikay Gundogan have two years contract left with Barcelona but both side have reach agreement for mutual contract and Ikay Gundogan will not get his two season salary and become free agent players.

Barcelona haven't many option due high salary receiving by Ikay Gundogan and not ability cut off his salary around 50%, after Gundogan joining Manchester City has opportunity for Dani Olmo get registering without break financial fair play regulation but recently Barcelona still not announce yet about squad list for second La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao in this weekend. Any opportunity for Dani Olmo make his debut for Barcelona on this week or he must waiting more longer until Barcelona get stable or balance financial condition.

Barcelona is currently in a very difficult situation due to the effects of financial problems that have befallen them, Laporta should have thought twice before they recruited Dani Olmo before because when they fixed one hole in the squad then now another new hole is starting to appear in the squad, what is happening to Barcelona at this time actually reminds me again with the reason that Xavi was fired and isn't that a reality that is actually unnecessary covered by Laporta by saying that their finances are fine at the moment?
The problems that befall Barcelona at this time will continue if there is indeed no right solution they find in the near future and not just with releasing players or cutting player salaries, Gundogan move is expected to make Barcelona can be register Dani Olmo to the squad but reportedly currently the existing salary limit is still not enough to register new players,so that not only Gundogan will be released but several other players may also be sell or release.

Like it or not everything is over between Gundogan and Barcelona so there is nothing to regret anymore Barcelona's decision will not change and will focus on the future to make Olmo a replacement figure. Although I am not sure because Gundogan is above anyone with all Barcelona players both in terms of record, statistics and leadership. Everyone should understand Burgerlona well  , what we consider good for them can be bad and vice versa. Please understand this club always goes in the opposite direction even with its fans. In my country Barcelona fans have quite a big influence but the more I pay attention it seems they are also upset with all Barcelona's decisions about releasing Gundogan.
So the point is to let Laporta cook

I mean the joke about how Vini and Mbappe and Rodrygo were all at left wing for a while is true, for a short while that happened, normally that is not the case but they all switch places at all times, they do not have a set position to play, I have seen Mbappe at left and Vini at striker many times too, and even Mbappe a bit back and Jude ahead. He just does whatever he wants with the tactics and players, and because it gets results nobody questions him, looks horrible but then gets a result of they are looking to keep doing what he is doing and will forever be happy as long as they get the results.

I totally agree with you. This was one of the reasons why Real Madrid's overall performance was not stable. Players failed to select their position correctly. Talented players like Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham cannot play in their own positions. So Ancelotti's match strategy works properly in this match.

Real Madrid players have not failed to select their positions. They were only trying oversaturation on one side. That's why you saw that it seemed all of Real Madrid's forwards were moving to the left side. But it is a very important lesson for us to consider having a pure RW in our squad.

We could force LW to play as RW, but I'm not feeling sure they're always feeling confident to leave from their actual position.

Madrid's main problem now is Mbappe. There is no doubt that Mbappe is a fantastic player, but I'm still saying this. Mbappe is a bit monotonous. And because of this he is not able to adjust himself well with the squad players. Also Vini and Mbappe have played in the same position in the past. So the players are having some problem to adapt to the new position. But since Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. Very soon maybe he will solve this problem. And we'll see stronger gameplay from Madrid next.

Mbappe's still relatively new in La Liga, and this probably makes him struggle to adapt to the harder league compared to Ligue 1. To be fair, Mbappe was fantastic in Ligue 1, but he is still unproven in the superior league like La Liga. I'll be glad if Mbappe has cr7's level of impact, but for now I can't see it from him!

I don't even think Mbappé will score more than 20 goals this season. This is because La liga is not league 1.

Barcelona had financial problems even before Xavi arrived and all this time the team somehow exists and achieves good results. During Xavi's time Barcelona also lost Dembele, who went to PSG, and for the Barcelona attack at that time it was too tangible a loss. Now they have lost Gundogan, and also Felix who was also important for the attack, so under Flick nothing is happening that has not happened before. The difficulty is that Barcelona is losing very important players, but does nothing to ensure that their places are replaced by worthy replacements.

Breaking!

One of Real Madrid's stars, Jude Bellingham, is reported to have an injury and he will return after the international break in September. Real Madrid seems to have received a major blow, even though Ancelotti needs him to be in the main squad so that the adaptation built starting this season with Mbappe and other colleagues can run well.

However, before that happened, Real Madrid had already experienced a disaster that would disrupt their game to win matches every week. Yesterday's draw certainly did not restore the mentality of the players and now they have to be plagued by other sad news.

Then, who will fill Jude Bellingham's position temporarily? On the bench, there are already several names ready to replace him and maybe it's between Arda Guler or Brahim Diaz.

Disappointment is a natural situation because our initial expectations of Madrid were very big by expecting Madrid to get 3 points in their first match at the start of this season but it will not affect much actually because we must realize that this is a match in the first match so there are still many opportunities to keep Madrid doing more in the next match, moreover there are still 37 weeks left to pass so we don't need to be disappointed too deeply just because of 1 draw match.

Madrid is still Madrid where they are still the favorites for this season in the race for the championship so the early matches will not have any effect because it is not necessary for a big team to get full points at the beginning although it is very good but when it can't happen then there is no need to force it and I am still quite sure that sooner or later Madrid will continue to develop and make the same position as the previous season.

Give Ancelotti time because it is not easy to neutralize the player's position. I would not be too quick to judge that Madrid will have a bad season, everything will go well and the process we can see. The result of the first match was not satisfactory but it is not the end of everything. Madrid have been through something like this in the past when creating Los Galacticos, not immediately showing a perfect game. It takes adjustment, training and understanding each other. Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham will be compact in time.

It's Barcelona's decision to do whatever they please with their players, but before they do that, let them remember they have fans who are in full support of the team's performance and, in the same vein, interested in Barcelona's future.

A team like Barcelona can't have an existing problem at hand, instead of finding a lasting solution, they go ahead to create another problem, thinking a simple remedy can be a cure for the problem accumulated.

Barcelona team knows that their financial capacity is not good, they should seek financial help rather than let go of quality players for a single player who they don't know the future of the player would be like(good or bad). Barcelona can have with a gold at hand and be searching for silver, knowing how painful gold can be when lost.

The point is that, letting Gundogan go as free agent and bring in Dani Olmo doesn't solve the financial problem at hand.

The worst news for Jude Bellingham and Real Madrid is about getting injured and this can definitely damage the team if this key player loses some games in Real Madrid because Carlo Ancelotti was counting on this player for the next games during this season.
Real Madrid is going to play against Valladolid but the situation about Bellingham is not clear yet and Ancelotti yet we are still checking his situation.

One thing is for sure, we have to minimize the risk with other options such as handicap bets with a 0.25 or 0.5 advantage and even though the odds we get decrease, at least we are still on the safe path to winning the bet. Well, if without betting I would favor Valencia, Villarreal, and Osasuna who will collect 3 points.

Not even some to me, Laliga games at the moment especially at the beginning of a season are always unpredictable, even the surest club gave us some dissapointment as their first game...
Thus, it will be a good practice to take some actions to minimize risk just as you've said above, the hamdicap is not too bad actually at least it put someone on a safer side although it's not gonna be a good odd and that that doesn't mean it won't still cut if you pick a wrong side
