La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Polkeins]

Celta Vigo vs Valencia match will start in a very short time. In today's match, Celta Vigo team is at the 1st position in the points table. On the other hand, the Valencia team is at the 19th position, so it is understood that there is no chance for the Valencia team to win this match. In the previous matches, Valencia  The performance of the team's players was very bad. The goalkeeper in the Valencia team is very weak for which the Valencia team is not able to do anything well.

I think you are confusing Valencia goalkeeper with someone else, because Valencia's goalkeeper Mamardashvili is one of the strongest in La Liga and last season he brought a lot of points to the team and helped out in seemingly desperate situations. In addition, Liverpool agreed with Valencia on a 6-year contract to buy Mamardashvili and this year he will play on loan in Valencia.
As for the game itself, after the change of coach, Celta decided to gain as many points as possible from the first rounds and Iago Aspas has already managed to give an assist and score a goal.
It is strange that none of the top clubs have not bought Aspas, despite his age he plays very stable.

That is the funny part, if it was another manager that didn't get good results then this tactic, the way they play would be questioned a lot and the manager would be fired. Ancelotti figured out a way, that looks horrible, and would not work in any other team ever, and somehow still gets Real Madrid all the titles, which is really weird and I still don't get how that works lol.

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.

What's strange about this, I've seen many times when Carvajal was in the forward position when a corner was taken and he scored goals, or even when someone from the midfield was near the goal and also scored. There is a lot of dynamics on the pitch, players have to move around because they will constantly be played by defenders, and in this case Rodrygo and Vinicius are trying to adapt to playing with Mbappe. For Ancelotti, it is not an easy task to fit three forwards on the field at once, add Bellingham to them, who is also constantly moving closer to the goal and we get a clumsy mixture that will either work or cause Ancelotti problems, and then he will have to go back to the old system.

The best part of Ancelotti's Real Madrid is that they are extremely dynamic. They can adapt very well, and that's why they can come back from setbacks like no other. When you know in your head that you can turn around a game because of how good your teammates are, and how a chance can pop up any moment. This is what we see about Real Madrid ever so often in the highest of stages.

Yes, it may not be great on the eye, but as long as they are getting results, it doesn't really matter, does it? I think they have a great team, with players who are of great skill and grit. They know how to perform at the highest level week in and week out. The attack is trying to shape better and for them to find their perfect placements, they will need some more time, and results will soon follow.

Real Madrid is an outstanding club which their performance is consistent, Ancelotti knows what he is doing and he is always taking important matches serious which shows that he has focus on his plan to always achieve his target.

The players are understands when he needs an excellent result and they always make that happen. Real Madrid is still the favorite to win Laliga because they can go tough any time to defend the title.

Deco and the new board are doing a great job of cleansing the club from players like this. It could affect them but they should be patient with the young players

I don't think Deco and the board are doing a great job. They're trying but I won't call it a great job. I said they're trying because of the kind of situation they took over, it's a very dicey situation and all things considered, they're trying, but they could have done better. The players they sell should be worth more than they sell them. They show that they're desperate to let go of those players and that reduces the player's value.

Also, they are more focus on what the media thinks than whats actually going on. They keep saying they will be back to 1:1 if they sign a deal with a particular company like they did with Nike, but the deal never came. This has been going on all year.
Then there's the issue of recruiting players. They don't even think about a DM but they're focused on other areas. Don't get me wrong, those areas are vital too, but not as much a DM. Barcelona suffered last season because they lacked a DM and this season, they don't even care about that. The LW too, they spent too much time on Nico, who I think is a good player btw, but he's not worth all that energy. He's not prime Neymar.

Mbape successful transfer has made Anceloti task to be more demanding but I'm sure there is always a way for him, this is not his first time doing it. They have drawn just one game which is better than losing, more games will be won if they go hard on the rest but I just think that when you cook food and you add too much ingredients, the food becomes too sweet that it doesn't interest someone again, that's the case of Real Madrid and it's players.

Vinicious, Rodrigo, Mbape, Bellingham are key players that will want to start any match, only the likes of Modric and some other midfielders will want to be bench and not start in a match. If this can be utilized well, the team will go hard on any match but imagine Mbape, Vinicious, Rodrigo, and Bellingham all want to score a goal in match, there will be too much greed around them.

On the other hand, the Valencia team is at the 19th position, so it is understood that there is no chance for the Valencia team to win this match. In the previous matches, Valencia  The performance of the team's players was very bad. The goalkeeper in the Valencia team is very weak for which the Valencia team is not able to do anything well.

3-1 big score. Until the match is a few minutes left, I predict Valencia will receive their second defeat. The over 2.5 bet before the match started is certain to win. Celta Vigo will be the team that has currently been able to score 5 goals and 2 wins in 2 matches in two matches.
Luckily for Valencia because Iago Aspas missed a penalty in the final minutes of the first half. If Aspas' execution was successful, the score might not have been 3-1, but more.
Are you betting on this match?

[Chilwell]

The game has started, and it is the end of the first half, with Celta Vigo winning 2-1. Both teams are playing well, but from my observations, Celta Vigo is putting in more effort than Valencia. It's very possible that Celta Vigo will win the match. Valencia scored first, but Celta Vigo equalized and then added another goal to make it 2-1. Both teams have created incredible chances, but Valencia hasn't been lucky enough to turn those chances into goals. Let's see what happens in the second half maybe Valencia will put in more effort to draw the match or possibly try to win. Based on their head-to-head statistics, both Celta Vigo and Valencia tend to win against each other either away or at home,so their games are always unpredictable. However, I'm thinking a draw might be likely.

Am much confident in seeing Celta Vigo becoming victorious because of their first match victory, a big congratulations to them for been the first team to win their second match of the season and I felt sad for Valencia for been beaten home and away in the first and second game of the season and happened to be first to lose the both matches of the season, they still have chances of becoming the Laliga champions only if they can find their problems and also find permanent solutions. At the beginning of the match when they first scored I was so excited for them meaning they can make revenge on what Barcelona did to them not knowing they are not ready for it.

I don’t know what they are planning. A few days ago they were bringing in players using their name and legacy. And I think right now they are just trying to protect that legacy because, without it, Barcelona is not going to bring in the players that they want. Many youngsters are also interested in playing for Barcelona because Barcelona has a good history and legacy. We cannot deny that. But if Barcelona thinks that only selling their legacy and lying to the public about the financial situation is going to make everything right, I think they are mistaken. They will actually have to improve the financial situation of the club. Otherwise, they will never be able to approach the players which they actually want or need.

True. Real Madrid is a strong team, they can also maintain consistent performance and Ancelotti has his own way to organize the team's strategy when the team needs a win. In the first match, Real Madrid failed to get full points but that did not make Real Madrid unable to compete in La Liga, Real Madrid will remain the favorite this season and Ancelotti will do something in the next match to make the team even better.

In the first match, Mbappe was too focused on finding his first goal in La Liga, but he forgot about teamwork. Several times golden opportunities were lost because he felt he could score goals himself, even though Vini or Rodrygo had more free space and great opportunities to score goals. So it is natural that Real Madrid lost two points in the first match, because new players certainly need to adapt. Just look at this match, he also likes to change to fill the left wing, right, even the middle. Indeed, he has not found chemistry with other players. But I am sure in one or two matches, Mbappe will find chemistry with the strategy implemented by Ancelotti.

Besides the problem of making the most of the three expensive strikers in attack, coach Ancelotti also faces a more difficult problem when he has to start the days without Toni Kroos. Coach Carlo Ancelotti needs to make appropriate changes next season when Toni Kroos is no longer in the squad. His influence on Real's playing style over the past 10 years is unquestionable. Kroos' absence has exposed many problems in Real's playing style. In the last two matches, they have almost lost control of the midfield and have mostly only made long passes up front for the strikers to coordinate with each other.
I want to ask everyone which player would be qualified to replace Toni Kroos?

From a layman's point of view, TChouameni should have played a role as a replacement for Toni Kroos, unfortunately he has not reached the level of maturity and stability like his senior players. I have discussed that Kroos's resignation will have a little effect on Real Madrid's performance at the beginning of the season. As the game progresses, TChouameni will transform into a reliable midfielder like Toni Kroos. but for now, TChouameni still needs to develop his abilities. as for Luka Modric, now there is Bellingham who replaces his position. let's see in the next match whether Ancelotti will rotate some of his players, for example Modric will return to being the main starter. besides, it is possible that in order for the game to run as Ancelotti wants, he will change his system again to 4-3-1-2. which players will be rotated we don't know, but if the system is like that, it could be that Mbappe will be given freedom if he is positioned as a second striker. he is positioned in front, like when Bellingham occupied that position.  thus, Mbappe remains free to score goals. anyway, this is just my personal assumption. because, most likely the system that Ancelotti will adopt is still the system they implemented in the first match. well, let's just see to make sure if there are any changes. or, Ancelotti is still confident with what he implemented.

[Jossque]

In the first match of the day, Celta Vigo managed to win against Valencia with 3 goals. With this win, Celta vigo, who managed to make 2 in 2 in the league, managed to take the lead with more than a match at the moment.Although he did not find many shooting opportunities against Valencia, Celta vigo, who made good use of the positions he found, took the advantage of playing at home.
In the other match of the day, we will be watching Sevilla vs Villarreal.We can say that the 2 teams have always managed to score goals against each other in their last meetings.

[Josefjix]

Jude Bellingham currently in critical condition after suffering from a plantaris muscle injury on his right knee. This is really a bad time for the Englishman to experience such a terrible injury. He will be ruled out for a month and not good news for Jude Bellingham and Carlo Ancelotti. The headcoach of Real Madrid will have to rearrange his starting XI and this time, he has missed out on Eduard Camavinga and Jude Bellingham who happens to be key players for the club. Not to worry because Carlo Ancelotti will make promising epic decisions for the club.

I think everyone also admits that Real Madrid is one of the best teams in La Liga history so far. The depth of the squad and coaches that Real Madrid has is very competitive every season, but it is true that they cannot always win the title. This season Real Madrid should be superior to all other teams in terms of squad depth, but unfortunately they failed to win their first win against Mallorca in the first match.

Ancelotti has big targets this season when he has a truly competitive squad. The treble winner is the most awaited target, but so far Real Madrid has always failed to get it. It's an important point in history for Ancelotti to get that, so I think they have a chance to get it this season. La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Champions League, those are big targets.

You speak very well, since if Kross is still in Real Madrid, you do not believe they will lose their first game because I did not see Tchouameni's performance in the first game against Mallorca, and it is only Bellingham who works in that position. Ancelotti must adjust the lineup information for their upcoming game if they do not want to lose another point. Modric is already old, he can't play full minutes, he doesn't have the strength anymore, he is just trying, and I think he will leave next season if his contract expires. Real Madrid don't want to lose all of their key stars at once, so Modric renewed his contract for one year. We really miss Camavinga because I truest him very well is a very good player, He marks very well and never gives up, he does everything he can to help the forwards get the ball and score. Madrid needs to wake up before he will hard for them, I didn't anticipate Madrid to draw, but that is football, and you can't foresee everything. But I'm confident Ancelotti will not aim to lose their next match, and because they are playing at home, we'll see how the game ends.

The LW too, they spent too much time on Nico, who I think is a good player btw, but he's not worth all that energy. He's not prime Neymar.

Yes I said they are doing a great job simply because of the mess they inherited and I also understand your point too but yet it is not upto them. Let’s start with the selling of players for lower fees, either they show desperation or not they definitely need to eject those players out desperately this is something everyone is already aware of, moreover this players are on wages that Barcelona are just looking to do away with and nothing more, so other clubs will definitely exploit this and want to pay low fees for them, although other boards will have inserted some clauses but I don’t still think they can do much better than they are doing now.

As for their signings there is definitely no denying the fact that a replacement for Sergio Busquet is still yet to be found but who do think they could get for a lower fee and be able to register, they signed Dani Olmo and here we are yet to get him registered. As for Inki Williams he is certainly the best for that price tag on him, any price below that wouldn’t get you a player of that caliber again but a low profile one like the Romeu signings

[BIT-BENDER]

Now Barcelona has lost Felix, gundogan, and some other tip talent, I would love to see how they would do moving forward. I think that the Barcelona team needs More from the board running the show. They are making it hard for even the best coaches to revive Barcelona, I see a club with great potentials but still this season could still be same as the last season if they continue is this manner.

I still believe losing Toni Kroos will have huge impact to Real Madrid performance but let's see in the next few matches if Real Madrid can bounce back and win then my assumption will be wrong but regarding who is the player can qualified as Toni Kroos replacement i think none of player at Real Madrid current squad can replace his position because i have to says it's hard to find the player who have equal quality to Kroos

Ancelotti even admitting by himself that he still finds it difficult to find a replacement for Toni Kroos but Ancelotti is experience manager so he know well about team condition and i am sure he will find the solution regarding this problem however several month ago there was one player who has a similar playing style as Toni Kroos but this player is from outside Real Madrid and he is Florian Wirtz but Real Madrid have to waiting at least until 2025 to gets this player

Vinicious, Rodrigo, Mbape, Bellingham are key players that will want to start any match, only the likes of Modric and some other midfielders will want to be bench and not start in a match. If this can be utilized well, the team will go hard on any match but imagine Mbape, Vinicious, Rodrigo, and Bellingham all want to score a goal in match, there will be too much greed around them.

Real Madrid having Mbappe this season will definitely make a good difference and it is a very good decision for Real Madrid to have Mbappe in the squad which they will never regret it.

Real Madrid will surely will win the league this season because with what they have in the squad I don't think their will be any challenge in winning their games. Real Madrid hard their first game for the season with mallorca which was a draw game. I know  people were expecting to see Real Madrid to win the game, the result of the game is making some people to think if Real Madrid will be able to get the title of the league. This is just the beginning of the season, Real Madrid can still secure the tittle of the league by winning most of the games that will be taking place in the season.

[Oluwa-btc]

Also, they are more focus on what the media thinks than whats actually going on. They keep saying they will be back to 1:1 if they sign a deal with a particular company like they did with Nike, but the deal never came. This has been going on all year.
Then there's the issue of recruiting players. They don't even think about a DM but they're focused on other areas. Don't get me wrong, those areas are vital too, but not as much a DM.

The LW too, they spent too much time on Nico, who I think is a good player btw, but he's not worth all that energy. He's not prime Neymar.

I won't blame or blast them too much because you need finance to make all of these hard decisons truthfully. Manchester City are also rumoured to take legal actions against Barcelona if they fail to pay up for the depth they owe. That was during the sale of Ferran Torres from Manchester City to Barcelona. They'll get better but it'll take time, maybe a season or two.

I preached about this Defensive midfielder role too much on here honestly. I even advocated for Barcelona to go get Joshua Kimmich because he can serve both as a defensive midfielder and also a right fullback but nothing happened. Since Sergio Busquet left Barcelona, they have struggled in the middle of the park.

When you look at how Flick wants to play, I honestly think he needs a creative left winger but I'm not saying Nico Williams is as good as Neymar Jr. He wouldn't have been a bad idea for them to bring in.

Well it's very clear for everyone to see that this current real Madrid team has lost their balance which they had last season, and it's definitely going to take this real Madrid team time and some activities in the transfer market to fix that.

Why I am saying so is that the acquisition of Kyler mbape has make the team selection very difficult for Carlo ancelotti which you rightfully pointed out,  because Kyler mbape is not a player that will be kept on the bench, but due to the fact that they are trying to accommodate him, vinicious junior and Rodrigo it has unbalanced the team a little bit, but the major problem this real Madrid team is having right now is the departure of Toni Kross, they have lost their chief dictator in the middle of the park, he is the player responsible in dictating the tempo of how real madrid attack and how they keeps the ball, and due to the fact that he has not been replaced, it's actually having a toll on the team, because they don't have such player as Toni Kross that can control the midfield as he does, and in my own perspective, this that is the major problem of real madrid.

[Egii Nna]

Celta Vigo vs Valencia match will start in a very short time. In today's match, Celta Vigo team is at the 1st position in the points table. On the other hand, the Valencia team is at the 19th position, so it is understood that there is no chance for the Valencia team to win this match. In the previous matches, Valencia  The performance of the team's players was very bad. The goalkeeper in the Valencia team is very weak for which the Valencia team is not able to do anything well.

3-1 big score. Until the match is a few minutes left, I predict Valencia will receive their second defeat. The over 2.5 bet before the match started is certain to win. Celta Vigo will be the team that has currently been able to score 5 goals and 2 wins in 2 matches in two matches.
Luckily for Valencia because Iago Aspas missed a penalty in the final minutes of the first half. If Aspas' execution was successful, the score might not have been 3-1, but more.

Celta Vigo are playing amazing in the start of this season, no doubt because having 6 points and 5 goals is incredible for a start, although they are performing well. But even at the start of the game, when I see Valencia's first goal and how they were playing, I want to bet on them winning, but I wait to see how the game will move before halftime so that I can bet on the team I wish. So the game ended, and I still don’t bet on any of the teams because I am still doubting myself, thinking that Valencia will equalise even though I know they have been playing to get the win, but they ended up getting nothing. Although Celta Vigo has won the game, it was a nice performance. I hope they keep it up when they meet up with bigger teams.
