La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Republikcoin.com]

I agree that Barcelona is playing better under Hansi Flick. He is experienced and makes good decisions during games like substituting players. This is improvement from Xavi time. Barcelona is showing signs of being strong team but it is still early. They should keep up good work and build on their current success. I also think Chiesa would be great addition to team especially on left wing where they need more players. His price is reasonable and Juventus wants to sell him making him good option.

Although Chiesa is a reasonable price to buy this season, Barcelona should also think twice about buying new players if their financial strength is still the main obstacle in the current team. I also see Barcelona starting to improve under Hansi Flick, but it is clear as you said that it is still not enough because Barcelona still have to work throughout the season. However, a home win against Athletic Club is a result that deserves appreciation for the new Barcelona coach at this time.

[Xcode7]

I absolutely have zero complaints about Barcelona's performance now. Lewandowski is performing better this season, but his success is due to the our fluid midfield. It helps him not to drop deep. He can explore the right position without worrying about a counter-attack from our opponents.

Yamal showed his mastery as a winger, and he scored a goal in this game. Though Kounde helped him quietly throughout the game. But you forgot to mention Kounde, Pedri, and Raphinha were standouts today. Kounde was flawless in his defending. Pedri was calm and creative in midfield. And Raphinha with his intense, machine-like drive.

All in all, Flickball is promising, and our young squad is getting even better.

In the first two matches of this season, Lewandowski has shown that he can still play well even though he is no longer young and I think that is inseparable from the support of other players for Lewandowski who is plotted as a target to score goals and also the new coach's tactics match Lewandowski's playing style.

Yamal does have quality, this young player has proven it and it is true that overall Barcelona players have played very well and I think there is nothing lacking from them except to be able to maintain the consistency of their team's game.
The combination of young and senior players carried out by Hansi Flick was quite successful and it dispelled many people's doubts that he could develop the performance of the Barcelona team with all the limitations and problems they are facing.

[samuraijin]

Barcelona won against Athletic Bilbao even though I initially doubted Barcelona's ability and thought the match would end in a draw because Athletic Bilbao is also not a small club, but Barcelona's hard work paid off, they were able to control the ball well 64% even though they still stuck with old players, at least they did not give up to continue to show their best. I think Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski will continue to be the coach's mainstays.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will compete tonight with the promoted club Valladolid, of course Real Madrid is very favored in this match to win, they are 5 points behind Barcelona, ​​so Real Madrid must catch up immediately so that the gap is not too far.

What makes you doubtful in this match, while Barcelona has good players and all players have very good selling value, compared to their opponents they face are not so solid I think everyone is too overestimating Barcelona, ​​as if when Barcelona's defeat is always associated with financial problems. not all defeats or victories of a club are caused by that can be factored in fatigue or stamina of the players that something can change so Barcelona's victory over Bilbao is that Barcelona is a team that is indeed tough and they are even able to become a tough competitor for Real Madrid this season.

I agree that Barcelona is playing better under Hansi Flick. He is experienced and makes good decisions during games like substituting players. This is improvement from Xavi time. Barcelona is showing signs of being strong team but it is still early. They should keep up good work and build on their current success. I also think Chiesa would be great addition to team especially on left wing where they need more players. His price is reasonable and Juventus wants to sell him making him good option.

It's too early to say this because it's the beginning of the season and there are still many challenges that Hansi Flick will face. Like when the UCL match schedule has started, Hansi will definitely start to busy himself to find a way to rotate players perfectly to maintain physical quality and avoid injury. And on the one hand, Barcelona must appear in another competition which will indeed provide pressure like a big challenge that is not easy to do while Hansi Flick is just with Barcelona for the first time.
I admit that since Lamine Yamal was able to develop his talent, Barcelona appearance has looked better but how far can we see the player contributing to the team.

Regarding Chiesa, I doubt whether Juventus will let him go at a low price while Juventus itself is in the process of improving its finances and selling its best players for a better future for the team. So I doubt if Chiesa can join Barcelona.

Barcelona managed to win impressively against Atletico Madrid even though the match was quite difficult from the start of the match, from the start of the match Barcelona had difficulty developing their game but fortunately they had a magical boy who was able to change the game after his spectacular goal came in the 24th minute, the goal became the trigger for Barcelona revival which was ultimately able to beat Atletico Bilbao with a score of 2-1 while making them currently in second place in the La Liga standings with a perfect win from two matches.

So far, Hansi Flick has still been able to bring Barcelona to the right track, but even so, we can't expect much from them at the moment who have a limited squad, recruiting Chiesa will probably make them stronger in the future considering the performance, experience and quality that he has will certainly provide a significant impact to support Barcelona attack line, but the problem at the moment is of course the financial problems that befell Barcelona, ​​although they might easily be able to get Chiesa, but they can't registered it with the current La Liga authorities, even Dani Olmo, who they have recruited from Barcelona cannot play Leipzig due to problems with permission from La Liga authorities.

[Solokan]

Barcelona again proved that they can win the match and score 3 points even though they are having financial problems. Previously, Barcelona also won 3 points over Valencia, then today Barcelona won over Athletic Bilbao. Hansi Flick's men's performance was good today, but I still found that some of their attack schemes were still weak, especially when they got goal opportunities.

Honestly, I am also amazed by Hansi Flick's coaching, even though Barcelona is currently experiencing a financial crisis, but yes, Barcelona can prove it in this Laliga match and can successfully win the match twice. Yes, after beating Valencia with a score of 1-2, now Hansi Flick's troops can get 3 points because they won against Bilbao with a score of 2-1 through Yamal and Lewandowski. Of course, Barcelona will now definitely be more confident for the next match.

I also agree with you because Barcelona has had a lot of goal opportunities and to be honest, if Barcelona players could take advantage of it, it would certainly result in Barcelona scoring more goals and of course I hope that Hansi Flick can fix this. but still yes, now I am happy to see that Barcelona is still performing well and Lewandowski is still good at competing and also in this match I am very happy because I saw Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal meet and of course this reminds us of Euro 2024 where Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams played a duet. beautifully, but now Yamal and his friends have managed to beat Nico Williams and his friends.

Yes, now Barcelona has succeeded in occupying the standings in 2nd place and of course Barcelona must continue to win in every match and Hansi Flick needs to improve Barcelona's performance so they can win the title in Laliga this season.

Since the beginning of the season I have been questioning the Athletic Bilbao's performance because they are not even playing as if they have the quality players to win games with the way they played the very first game it wasn't convincing at all that they can do better in the next game, but I blame the coach for all that happened in the first game and they went on against Barcelona but no energy to even secure the 1pts instead they lost. Barcelona winning last night is going to motivate them this very season to face any of the bigger team and their opponent (Athletic Bilbao) last night is losing form and I can't say they're among the big teams in La Liga for now but let's see how Athletic Bilbao handle their next opponent.
Madrid is another team that hasn't been giving what we expected, like they drew their last game which many thought they would have won without stress. Today is another day and a different opponent, let's see what they have to offer. The players Madrid have are suppose to make their opponent feel scared before the kick off but they're not making it happen, imagine Mallorca playing like they're Barcelona in their first game against the champions, maybe today we might see a different Real Madrid.

[Luzin]

Lewandowski again made a goal. 2 matches 3 goals. Very good for 36 years old.  Will he be a strong candidate for Top Scorer this season? Because Artem Dovbyk Girona has moved to AS Roma. It seems that it is still difficult to guess that there are still many matches. It seems that it is only a matter of opportunities and the type of coach that made Lewandowski last season unable to become the top scorer. But with 19 goals last season that is also quite a lot of goals. Lewandowski is number 3.

[bering]

Atletico Madrid vs Girona

We all know Atletico Madrid has spend a lot of money during this summer to gets new players because total they had spend 183.5 million to gets Julian Alvarez, Robin Le Normand, Connor Gallagher and Alexander Sorloth so because Simeone has spend a lot of money then i am sure the management demanding Atletico Madrid can performing well

For Girona they have lost some of their important players this summer such as Artem Dovbyk and Savinho and i think this might will have negative impact to their performance especially lost Artem Dovbyk which automatically Girona don't have sharp striker again

About the outcomes of this match Simeone has successfully to managed Atletico Madrid records at home because since last season Atletico Madrid records is very impressive during playing at Metropolitano and for today too considering host factor i think Atletico will being an the winner of this match and the odds for Atletico is @1.50

[knowngunman]

Barcelona won against Athletic Bilbao even though I initially doubted Barcelona's ability and thought the match would end in a draw because Athletic Bilbao is also not a small club, but Barcelona's hard work paid off, they were able to control the ball well 64% even though they still stuck with old players, at least they did not give up to continue to show their best. I think Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski will continue to be the coach's mainstays.

Barcelona fought until the last minute and showed that no one should underestimate them this season. Although, I expected them to win the game normally but I gave up and lost my hope seeing them playing draw after seventy minutes but fortunately, Lewandowski came through to secure them a winning goal at seventy fifth minute. However, they shouldn't be over excited about the win and forget that there is still a lot of work to be done especially in the defense. The overall performance is not a bad one but their defense is not yet in a good shape to resist penetration from more aggressive teams than Bilbao.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will compete tonight with the promoted club Valladolid, of course Real Madrid is very favored in this match to win, they are 5 points behind Barcelona, ​​so Real Madrid must catch up immediately so that the gap is not too far.

As for Madrid, this is supposed to be an easy game for them with lot of goals to increase the goal difference which will be an advantage for them when the league becomes more intense. I know the earlier they close the gap the better but the league is just starting and I have no doubt in Real madrid.

[CageMabok]

What makes you doubtful in this match, while Barcelona has good players and all players have very good selling value, compared to their opponents they face are not so solid I think everyone is too overestimating Barcelona, ​​as if when Barcelona's defeat is always associated with financial problems. not all defeats or victories of a club are caused by that can be factored in fatigue or stamina of the players that something can change so Barcelona's victory over Bilbao is that Barcelona is a team that is indeed tough and they are even able to become a tough competitor for Real Madrid this season.

I am also waiting for Barcelona's competition with Real Madrid this season if Barcelona is really in better condition. And for the matter of player fatigue, it is actually not only on one team, but also on the other team although I think it doesn't need to be expressed now because we have all only watched two matches in the official season. In addition, today Real Madrid will also compete at home by hosting Real Valladolid and I will also see if Real Madrid is able to win or even draw as happened in their first match this season.

[Ayers]

It seems that it is only a matter of opportunities and the type of coach that made Lewandowski last season unable to become the top scorer. But with 19 goals last season that is also quite a lot of goals. Lewandowski is number 3.

The most experienced player in the Barcelona squad is Lewandowski. And I think Hansi Flick builds his match strategy around Lewandowski in the centre. Lewandowski is the most important player in the Barcelona squad.

Barcelona's squad lacks experienced players. Hansi Flick wants to build a squad based on youth. And I'd say he's been pretty successful. Barcelona's match strategy and overall gameplay were very good in both matches. It was expected that Lewandowski would play well. But we also got a good performance from young Yamal. If this trend continues, Barcelona will be in a tough competition with Real Madrid for the title this season as well.

[Velvet78]

But you forgot to mention Kounde, Pedri, and Raphinha were standouts today. Kounde was flawless in his defending. Pedri was calm and creative in midfield. And Raphinha with his intense, machine-like drive.

All in all, Flickball is promising, and our young squad is getting even better.

Yeah I agree. They were solid as a team there. Hansi Flick gives hope for the fans but let's see what he will do during the whole season. He is quite under pressure of earning achievements for the team.

Because Barcelona won the La Liga title only once in the last five years. Can you imagine how bad it is for them? The La Liga is the most important tournament for this team, a huge priority.


Today Real Madrid (vs Valladolid home) and Atletico Madrid (vs Girona home) are going to play their games. What do you foresee?

Honestly I expect comfortable wins by both. Real Madrid lack Bellingham and they couldn't start well. But I think they will make up for that. Atletico Madrid were able to beat Girona by 3-1 last season. Girona had a stronger squad then. I think a similar result could be seen. They have made really good additions to the squad. 

[Hirose UK]

In one of the La Liga matches we will see meeting that is certainly quite interesting, this is meeting for two team that were quite strong last season and ranked 3rd and 4th.
Girona vs Atletico Madrid is quite an interesting match for this week, they previously both drew and only saved 1 point in the opening match of the League, I sure both of them will show very fierce game to compete for points.
It just that in the predictions I made for their match, it shows that the chances of victory for one of the team are very small, it is also likely to end in draw because the performance of Girona and Atletico Madrid is still quite equal.
It just that I was quite surprised when I saw the bookies actually making Atletico Madrid the overwhelming favorite to the point where the odds between the two were very different.

[Farma]

Lewandowski also started the season well. Lamine Yamal, as we know. He is continuing where he left off in the European Championship with the Barcelona jersey. They are currently threatening Real Madrid. Bellingham will be away from the field for a month in Real Madrid. If Real Madrid loses points during this period, Barcelona will widen the gap even more. Real Madrid lost two critical points against Mallorca. They do not want to experience a similar situation.

Lewandowski started this season well but Barcelona must not forget what happened with Lewandowski last season. He is old and at this age, his performance can suddenly become worse like past season so Barcelona need to have plans when Lewandowski can not play well and have solutions to replace him or tactical change.

Real Madrid will be a strongest team in La Liga with many star players they have, with Mbappe appearance this season and with experience of winning La Liga and Champions League recent seasons. Barcelona will want to beat Real Madrid and win La Liga but this task is not easily achieved. The absence of Jude Bellingham will be covered by other players in Real Madrid, it affects them but they know how to resolve it in coming months.

These are difficult times for Real Madrid. Although they have many players instead of Bellingham, Bellingham has a quality that sets him apart from other players with his talent. I know his quality and he often scored goals that saved Real Madrid in extra time. Real will be affected badly considering that he will not be able to play for a while and he may not be able to regain his form quickly after returning from injury. They may also wait a while for him to regain his form.

Bellingham has indeed helped Real Madrid in goal difficulties several times and he is there to make it into a goal, but this is Real Madrid they have worked for decades and there are many famous players there so they can't possibly be down just because of one player, Bellingham has indeed done his best last season and this season they also have a new superstar, Mbappe so I think they will win the match I will not worry about their match because Ancelotti is not a coach who only relies on players but he is a very experienced coach and also the game scheme he applies is dangerous for his opponents.

Losing Bellingham I think there are still other options such as Arda and Luca Modric who can replace him so for now losing Bellingham will not have a big impact on this team because Real Madrid is a team form not an individual so Ancelotti will overcome this for the next match.

[Leviathan.007]

It wasn't an easy game for Barcelona but most importantly is in the fact that they won at the end of the day,

Barcelona enjoying a good start to the season, not like Athletic club are an easy opponent. They still have the dangerous Nico Williams but Hansi Flick had a good solution for him. Barcelona do not have Olmo yet playing with them but they are showing a lot of good options with their players all trying to impress. With this second victory for Barcelona, Real Madrid will be under pressure to win their game.
There is still the transfer of Chiesa from Juventus to expect completed soon. The El Classic this season will be hot.

The case of Nico Williams is not close yet for Barcelona and they still looking to find a way and hire this player. Nico Williams was playing for Bilbao in the they had against Barcelona while there were many rumors about Nico Williams leaving his team for Barcelona and Flick wanted to hire this player because of his performance he recently had.
Nico Williams had a good performance in this match and the interesting picture from Flick and Nico Williams is about the time when I think Flick said something to Nico Williams when he was close to this player.

[bitLeap]

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will compete tonight with the promoted club Valladolid, of course Real Madrid is very favored in this match to win, they are 5 points behind Barcelona, ​​so Real Madrid must catch up immediately so that the gap is not too far.

On paper there should be no reason for Madrid to draw or lose, because Valladolid is below Madrid in quality. However because Madrid first week results were quite unsatisfactory, many of us are now doubting the instability of their performance, plus Bellingham will be out for 1 month which adds a lot of gaps. This instability problem will be even more serious if Ancelotti does not find a solution regarding the placement of his attacking trio. The fans want the maximum from the Madrid squad and Ancelotti has no choice but to meet those standards.

[Popkon6]

Today, Real Madrid vs Real Villadolid is going to be a very competitive game with the team after a short while, Real Madrid is best known for this La Liga season as the strongest team in the current season. However, compared to the squads of these two teams, I see the strongest players in the attack department of the Real Madrid team. However, Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrigo will be the three players in the main attacking division. And they will be supported by Luka Modric and unique supporting players, but the opposite side does not have that many experienced players. That's why I have bet on Real Madrid team in this match and I believe that I can definitely win.

Real Madrid will clearly be hunting for a win in this match because in the first match they failed to get it, even though their expectations were quite high at that time. What I saw was that their creativity was not really working maybe the impact of Toni Kroos no longer being there, while no other player could replace his role.

This match should be a good opportunity for Real Madrid to solidify their strategy because they will be playing at home and Real Madrid has a pretty good record against Valladolid so far.

This match Real Madrid does not need to rush into attacking if the opponent does not have many experienced players, but don't forget that sometimes underestimating can backfire on you. Therefore, regardless of Real Madrid being favored, playing seriously would be much better and this match may also be Real Madrid second experiment in implementing an attack system from 3 different lines. What is meant is that in the match against Villareal, Real Madrid was considered to have failed to implement the Vinicius, Mbappe and Rodrygo formation which finally Ancelotti admitted that his attack system was ineffective and unsatisfying to watch. Now it's time for Real Madrid to improve on their poor performance last week.

~~

Yeah I agree. They were solid as a team there. Hansi Flick gives hope for the fans but let's see what he will do during the whole season. He is quite under pressure of earning achievements for the team.

Because Barcelona won the La Liga title only once in the last five years. Can you imagine how bad it is for them? The La Liga is the most important tournament for this team, a huge priority.


Today Real Madrid (vs Valladolid home) and Atletico Madrid (vs Girona home) are going to play their games. What do you foresee?

Honestly I expect comfortable wins by both. Real Madrid lack Bellingham and they couldn't start well. But I think they will make up for that. Atletico Madrid were able to beat Girona by 3-1 last season. Girona had a stronger squad then. I think a similar result could be seen. They have made really good additions to the squad. 

Barca played well in last night's match, they pressed well even though they dropped a little in the second half. Overall Barca played well, even though they missed several big chances. But still, this victory is good for them. In the Hansi Flick era, Raphinha's role is different from the Xavi era style. From the two matches played by Barcelona, ​​Raphinha was assigned to explore the opponent's defense line. Not infrequently, he also received the ball from the midfield. Pedri also played very well, although he tended to be a pivot. Torres was a little different, in last night's match he seemed to be assigned to penetrate the opponent's defense line. The point is, Flick's style of play is not much different from Pep Guardiola's concept. Interesting for the next matches, because I'm waiting for Hansi Flick's tactical variation.

For today's match, it is clear that theoretically Real Madrid will defeat Valladolid. Even though Bellingham, Camavinga and several other players are absent, Madrid is too strong to be defeated by Valladolid. Moreover, the match was held at the Santiago Bernabeu, El Real's headquarters. the odds owned by Madrid are also very low, it is clear that there is a clear gap between the two teams that will soon compete. Well, Mbappe should be able to prove himself by scoring a goal in this match.
Atletico Madrid vs Girona, both teams played a draw in the first week. however, it seems that ATM is much more ready to get three points at their home, especially since Girona's performance is quite doubtful this season.
