La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Gallar]

It is undeniable that Ancelotti is one of the most genius coaches although many people criticise him as a coach who is ‘poor in tactics’ but with a game that is not too adventurous we can see that he is one of the successful coaches of this century.
In addition, with the power that Madrid has, he can do anything with Madrid's resources so he is more capable again despite his age.

Currently, even with the young Madrid squad that he has, Ancelotti is still very capable of making their performance more stable by minimising all forms of ego that young players have with the label of star players.
Now the new season begins again and we will definitely see how Ancelotti's work is quite simple in terms of formations and attacking schemes but very deadly to face.

Yes, there is no doubt that Ancelotti is the best coach at the moment. The many medals he has given to Real Madrid are clear proof that Ancelotti is indeed a great coach today. Then now Laliga has started, and Real Madrid have played two matches so far. Even though at the start of the season Real Madrid had difficulty getting points because they were held to a draw by Mallorca, in the second match Real Madrid proved that their good performance was starting to return. The reason is that in the second match Real Madrid was able to win the match over Valladolid with a score of 3-0. So with this, Real Madrid is now in 5th place in the Laliga standings.

Real Madrid's slick performance cannot be separated from the strategy implemented by Ancelotti. However, current problem is that Ancelotti has not been able to put Mbappe in the right position. The reason is that until this second match, Mbappe had a little difficulty scoring goals. Maybe Ancelotti should try another position that can be applied to Mbappe, for example on the wing. Because as far as I know, Mbappe would be better used in the wing position, because Mbappe has very good running speed. So, for example, if Mbappe is used on Real Madrid's wing, it will certainly open up lots of opportunities which will certainly make it possible for Real Madrid to score lots of goals.

....

I also think Ancelotti is one of best coaches now. He has done great job with Real Madrid. Team played well in their last game beating Valladolid 3-0. And I also think that Ancelotti needs to figure out how to help Mbappe score more goals. Mbappe is very fast and skilled so playing him on wing might be good idea. This could help Real Madrid score more goals. If Ancelotti tries different positions for Mbappe he can help him play better and make Real Madrid attack stronger.

It's difficult to maintain consistency in a big league like La Liga considering there are many great challengers, don't forget we have Real Madrid, Barcelona & Atletico Madrid as top challengers. Now the standings are also not led by Celta because they lost to Villarreal today, Iago Aspas is no longer visible on the match scorers list, it's a shame because Celta couldn't get 1 point because in injury time Parejo surprised them with a late goal.

The leader of the standings cannot be determined in several matches that have taken place because usually the consistency of the lower clubs will become unstable and lose their place in the standings.
Real Madrid also faced a less than good condition in the first match where they drew in the match, while Barcelona managed to sweep the previous two matches by getting six points.

Villareal is leading the standings now where they managed to collect seven points in three matches while Celta Vigo is in second place with six points. Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have only played two matches so they are in the under position of Villareal and Celta Vigo.

A few days ago I saw Barcelona's problem about Dani Olmo. Barcelona could not register Olmo due to financial problems. Reportedly, Barcelona is willing to drop Andreas Christensen, who is injured, to register Dani Olmo. Unfortunately, the Olmo register can only be held until December. For this reason, Barcelona must immediately get new funds, their choice is to sell players, or find new funding sponsors. Olmo's registration will increase Barcelona's salary cap. Flick succeeded in his first debut, if he had the players he wanted, it would certainly be profitable.

Villarreal  0-1  Celta VigoAfter 25 minutes

In the first two matches against Atletico Madrid and Sevilla we saw good performances from Villarreal players. The match against Atletico Madrid was a 2-2 draw. And Villarreal team won against Sevilla. Can Villarreal win today's home match against Celta Vigo? Celta Vigo is not a weak team. It was difficult for me to pick a favorite team in the match. Both have a 50-50% chance of winning. So I refrained from betting on this match.

Celta Vigo scored in just 12 minutes to take a 1-0 lead with Celta Vigo striker Borja Lglesias scoring the first goal. However, Villarreal's players are also performing well. Villarreal's players are attacking a lot. Villarreal is playing attacking from the beginning of the match. Looks like they want to get 3 points in this match by any means. Villarreal players have already made 9 shots in just 25 minutes.

Edit: WooooooWW, Villarreal equalized the match in the 26th minute. Cardona scored a nice goal from Moreno's assist. Now the match is tied at 1-1. Hopefully we will see more goals in the first half.

I was shocked to see Villarreal coming from a 1-2 trail at half time to win the match 4-3 at full time. This is indeed a wonderful match and worth the time spent watching it. At a point I felt that Celta Vigo was going to win the match until the own goal of Jailson entered at the 64th minute that killed the morale of Celta Vigo although they never gave up but still went ahead to score at the 80th minute to make it 3-3 at which point I concluded it was going to end in a draw. It was at 10 minutes into the extra time that Villarreal got a penalty which Dani Parejo missed before scoring to make the match a win for Villarreal. 

The Celta-Villarreal match was a very enjoyable match to watch. I wasn't expecting a 7-goal match, but Villarreal scored the winning goal in the last second, while Celta left the field with the sadness of not getting a point. One of the most enjoyable matches in La Liga was played yesterday. I think the fans who watched it in the stands were very lucky.

[Out of mind]

Villarreal and Celita occupy the top two positions in the La Liga points table, with Villarreal winning the match 4-3. It is very surprising that these two teams have started with such good performances and if they can sustain such performances then good things can be expected from them.
However, there are still strong teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, so they will definitely compete for the top spot. As the teams performed well in the early part of the season, they moved to the top position. However, Girona have performed very poorly at the start of the season, which has left them at the bottom of the points table, without a single win so far, but they need to improve their game. Girona are a strong team, as we saw last season they did it every day against the bigger teams, so we didn't expect them to perform like this in the new season.

It’s reported that Barcelona has finally succeeded in registering Dani Olmo into the club. It’s was an embarrassing situation tbh. They signed him and couldn’t register him for about two weeks. Olmo and his reps were silly not to have cover for this kinda situation.

They were aware of patterns from previous times but they didn’t cared about it. They were just pushing for the deal to go through only.

I don’t know how clubs like Barcelona still attracts players. They have to sell to register. Gundogun exit opens a door, and there may be a few other exits. They may be in disarray at the moment, after these issues with salaries and abandonment of bonuses, players will still want to still play for Barcelona.

I think last season, they had a situation with players refusing to leave or even refusing their contract buy out. FDJ was one of these, even a lot  i cant remember.

I don't understand how they got to this financial crisis in the first place and they know how bad it is but they go ahead to sign players with high wage just to meet up to the standard of other clubs. This isn't funny any more, letting players go like they did to the man that joined Manchester City few days back Gündoğan and they could not sign Cancelo to join the team, all these can't make Barcelona great again instead players would be running off the club and nobody wants to attached in such situation.
With this I'm having that feeling that they might not do well in some of the competitions they are into, starting with the game at hand against Rayo Vallecano they can be on the losing side, Barcelona can lose that game later tonight and I just don't know why but I feel so.

Dani Olmo has been sidelined for the first two games of the new season and his future at Camp Nou remains in the air. Barcelona has less than 10 days left to clear players and create conditions for Olmo to play. Even after pushing Mika Faye to Rennes, Ilkay Gundogan to Man City, and loaning out Vitor Roque and Clement Lenglet. However, this move was not enough to secure Olmo's registration. For Olmo, this was a disappointing situation. The player left RB Leipzig hoping to make the next step in his career at Barcelona. However, the club's financial difficulties are hampering his plans.

But luck came to him, I read a funny piece of information, Andreas Christensen's long-term injury became a turning point for Dani Olmo at Barcelona. Christensen's four-month injury layoff has helped Olmo's situation. La Liga rules allow clubs to exceed their spending limits if a player in their squad is out for an extended period. Olmo will be provisionally registered and make his official debut in the match against Rayo Vallecano. I believe Barcelona will also find a way to officially register Dani Olmo.

[bering]

Neymar is in his recovery progress and he wants to return to Barcelona this summer at any cost but unfortunately, Barcelona with their financial crisis and temporary failure to satisfy ceiling of club salary from La Liga, refused to bring Neymar back to their club.

They forced some players to leave including Gundogan for reducing total salary in their club and meets La Liga requirements to be allowed for registering Dani Olmo for their squad this season.

Neymar must be realistic that even if Barcelona have better finance, they will not want to bring a star player with many serious injuries and no longer can play at highest level.

If Al Hilal not extended Neymar contract then this season could be the last season Neymar with this team and i just read the news about this recently because Barcelona has failed to gets Nico Williams from Bilbao then Neymar has been offering himself to Barcelona as the alternative player but Barcelona has been refuse him even Hansi Flick says Barcelona currently is very solid and they don't need Neymar

I think Hansi Flick has just make good decision with refusing Neymar because if he playing with Barcelona then it will cause new problems later because we all know Neymar is injured prone so i am sure this condition will makes him unable to in form again so Neymar have already to passed his prime and he will not be able to playing just like when he played for this team a few years ago

I want to ask, as Barcelona are trying to sign Nico Williams before how are they going to register the player after they sign him? So after saying in public that they are capable of signing Nico williams they don't have any money to even register Dani Olmo, to be honest, it is very shameful to see Barcelona saying this, Signing a player over £60 million and can't register the player, I have been hearing that team is facing financial difficulties but this Barcelona own is getting out of hand because Barcelona is acting like a club that doesn't have a president.

Barcelona sold out some young talented player's are still they are complaining that they can't sign Dani Olmo, After posting a picture of their stadium that they are going to make everything fine, I'm not a Barcelona fan but I'm very disappointed at this team because at the end this team will end up being sell to another people, a team that doesn't have a good president that can control their financial, if Barcelona continue like this they will end up selling the team.

The Celta-Villarreal match was a very enjoyable match to watch. I wasn't expecting a 7-goal match, but Villarreal scored the winning goal in the last second, while Celta left the field with the sadness of not getting a point. One of the most enjoyable matches in La Liga was played yesterday. I think the fans who watched it in the stands were very lucky.

This was the most competitive and exciting match of this season of La Liga. The tense tension existed till the last minute of the match. And Villarreal have finally proven that this team is very strong this season. And it is challenging for any big team to win against this team now.

I thought the match would be a draw. Because the players of both the teams were performing well. The match was tied at 3-3 after Starfelt scored in the 80th minute. I did not expect to see more goals in this match. There is no doubt that Villarreal's boys played brilliantly. The team continued to try to win until the last minute of the match. And finally managed to win the match. Villarreal scored their fourth goal in the last minute of the match at 90+10 minutes. Villarreal won the match 4-3 and managed to get 3 points.

Celta Vigo tried hard to get points from the match. But they could not resist Villarreal's strong attack. Although Villarreal had relatively few attacks in the second half, each attack was very sharp. That's why despite trailing 2-1 at the end of the first half, Villarreal won the match 4-3.

~Snip~

Maybe  but Griezmann is not the old griezman though, he doesn't perform like he used to back in France with paul pogba  ( what an era they created ). I think he's still good to some extent,that's why the coach is probably keeping him, Julian Alvarez on the other hand, I can say he's good though he didn't have enough time to play in realmadrid he only played as subs which I don't like tbh, good he's here and I'm happy for him , I know he will have the time to showcase his talent as he always wanted to all along.
Now about them taking over Barca once again, as I've said earlier  maybe but might be hard to archieve imo... you guys only think Barca is weak because of their financial situation but I could say they might even  surprise everyone even with their squad, besides  Barca has a good squad btw, they need more though but the team is still fine  hopefully they don't mess things up

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the teams capable of finishing in the top four on a regular basis, Another place is up for grabs by other teams depending on their performance throughout the season. Last season Girona made a big surprise in La Liga, but this season they are starting to lose their power. Celta Vigo may be the dark horse team this season, but it is too early to draw conclusions now that the league has just started. They played very well at Villarreal's headquarters, they managed to make the home team's defense overwhelmed to hold back the attacks.

Luck was not on Celta Vigo side in this match, when everyone thought the match would end with a score of 3-3, they actually got a penalty from the referee near the end of the match. Dani Parejo who was the executioner, carried out his duties perfectly, Celta Vigo had to go home empty-handed after the match ended 4-3.

They unloaded the payroll a little, Gundogan left the team, Felix also left, so they would have found money for Williams, I think maybe they let these players leave because they wanted to get Niko. But he decided to stay at Atletico Bilbao, and by the way, his results are not very impressive, maybe he spent too much time in the off-season paying attention to transfer opportunities that he forgot about training and now is not in the best shape. By the way, Barcelona is playing away from home against Rayo Vallecano today, I did not expect that there would be a midweek round in La Liga, by the way, 1.72 for Barcelona to win.

Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona

La Liga game week 3 begin in this middle week and the opening match Villareal success defeating Celta Vigo and their winning trend stopped after losing over 4-3, its very crucial match between Villareal vs Celta Vigo how both team played more aggressive and keep offensive by scoring above seven goals.

Tonight, Barcelona still have winning trend in last two match will face Rayo Vallecano, have good news for Vallecano after success signing Jame Rodriguez and any potential for him make debut in this match. Have bad news for Barcelona after last two match can't registering their new players and seems facing Rayo Vallecano seems Dani Olmo not ready in the player list name.
Dani Olmo will absent three consecutives match for Barcelona in la Liga and become most absent for new players recruitment after break out financial regulation.

[Solokan]

You make an important point. Real Madrid won this match and they won by a big margin of 3-0. We are happy that Madrid got 3 points. However, Madrid's Vini-Mbappe-Rodrygo trio did not perform well. And that's why we can't be satisfied with Madrid's overall performance.

Madrid is a very strong team. However, if Madrid's Vini-Mbappe-Rodrygo trio does not perform well, the Real Madrid team will not be able to play well in the long run. Can't even play well in the Champions League. Real Valladolid and Mallorca were weaker opponents. However, we did not see a satisfactory performance from Madrid's attack. This is certainly a concern.

Indeed, the results of Real Madrid's match against Valladolid were quite good because they were able to win the match with a score of 3-0 for Real Madrid's victory, but many people really wanted action from Mbappe, Vinicius and Rodrygo because most people favored them. and of course it is natural to think that the match was unsatisfactory because the trio did not score a goal.

and to be honest, I personally also look forward to the trio scoring lots of goals and want Real Madrid to get more goals. but of course I also see that Mbappe is not able to take full advantage of opportunities, but maybe it seems like Mbappe needs a process to perform better in his new team.

However, if you look at the last match that has been played, it can certainly be said that the two teams are not strong teams because Mallorca was also a team ranked far above Real Madrid last season. and Valladolid is also of course a team that has just entered Laliga this season, so if you look at Valladolid's match against Real Madrid, Real Madrid should score more goals, like more than 3 goals. Indeed, if a situation like this is allowed by Ancelotti, it will certainly not be good in the long term. But of course I believe Ancelotti will be able to make Real Madrid's attack line even better.

Dani Olmo will absent three consecutives match for Barcelona in la Liga and become most absent for new players recruitment after break out financial regulation.

Praise is coming to Barcelona after successfully picking up a win in the previous match, but Hansi Flick must be careful with Rayo Vallecano, even though the opponent they face is not an elite team in La Liga, Rayo Vallecano has always made Barcelona struggle in the last three seasons. Barcelona was only able to achieve one win in their Head to Head in the last six games, the rest were 2x Draws and 3x Losses.
Rayo Vallecano could be a nightmare for Barcelona as Real Sociedad have become their first victims. Hansi Flick must be careful at Rayo Vallecano's headquarters, his often used 4-2-3-1 formation may be able to stem the surprise from Rayo. Dani Olmo is already available to play after being officially registered, his energy is much needed to increase their attacking power.

I think the match will end in draw because Vallecano had a good results and the match will held in their home, while Barcelona lost several important players and they're forced to play with Academy players.

The draw odds is juicy @3.80, don't miss this chance.

Barcelona isn't a strong team, Lewandowski will not always be lucky to score a goal in every match, he's an inconsistent player.

Barcelona have so far managed two perfect wins over Valencia and Atletico Bilbao, so against Rayo Vallecano will be an opportunity for Barcelona to continue their positive trend in La Liga, the previous two wins managed to make Barcelona currently at the top of the La Liga standings and leave their main rivals (Madrid) with a two-point difference who are also yet to play their third week match, two consecutive wins should be a motivation for Hansi Flick to continue to press his squad in order to perform maximally and break every criticism they have received so far, talking about Dani Olmo, it seems that we will not see  he joins the Barcelona squad in near time because reportedly Barcelona have not found a solution to register him to the squad even though they have released several players at the moment including Gundogan, Barcelona must now immediately find space to be filled by Dani Olmo so that it will be easy for Hansi Flick to bring Barcelona to be the championship la liga this season.  

[Hirose UK]

Villarreal today played very fiercely and competitively against Celta and this fierce match still gave Villarreal victory with score of 4 - 3 and was worried about draw but in the added time Dani Parejo created goal for Villarreal advantage.
Now several other matches will also take place in the next few hours, I waiting for Mallorca vs Sevilla and Rayo vs Barcelona which will also compete later.
Mallorca vs Sevilla will likely be difficult to predict and I take BTTS for this match, in the Rayo vs Barcelona match itself I take Barcelona as the favorite to win the match.
