La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[dezoel]

Anyone knows why Barcelona has a packed schedule this early in the season? A game on 24th, a game on 27th and a game on 31st? Seems like too packed for start of the season, is there a logical reason for that? In any case, they should be good enough to beat any opponent they face at this level, they are not really that bad and they should realize it by now.

In fact, Vallecano looks like it would be a different division team against Barcelona. That doesn't straight up mean Barcelona will win, we have seen top division teams to lose to other division teams on cup games before, not unheard of, just that it means the gap is too huge and it would be humiliating if Barcelona doesn't just destroy them, which they should be able to do.

[Unsoldier]

Rayo Vallecano will play against Barcelona, and the clear favorite here is Barca. The Catalans have won both of their opening matches and are aiming for the championship in Spain. Despite their success, there are some defensive issues: Barcelona conceded one goal each against Valencia and Atletico. However, their attack remains strong, with Lewandowski and Yamal performing well.
Rayo Vallecano also started the season well, earning four points from two matches, including a win over Real Sociedad (2-1). They will put up a fight, but beating Barcelona will be difficult.

My prediction is a 2-1 win for Barcelona.

Where do you get information about Barcelona's match schedule?
I didn't find more than 2 games for Barcelona during the rest of August on their schedule, so I think you found the information about the schedule incorrectly.

Barcelona will only play against Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid for the rest of the month, one of which will be played in the next few minutes. You can look for it on the official website or the La Liga schedule on Google, Barcelona will only play against Rayo Vallecano and Real Valladolid for the rest of the month, one of which will be played in the next few minutes.

Kick off will start soon and Barcelona has a high chance of winning this match. Even though this is an away match for Barcelona, ​​their performance in the last 2 matches can be the main factor why they are favorites. However, I am sure that Rayo Vallecano will always be a team that is difficult for Barcelona to beat.

Barcelona remains the favorite and they are a strong team in La Liga. I dare to bet on Blaugrana and they will win the match. Hansi Flick is eager to prove his capacity and he wants to bring El Barca back to being able to compete with Real Madrid who in the last few seasons have always been the ruler. Even though they are being hit by the issue of a financial crisis that has not been resolved, the players and coaches remain focused on the match being played.

[Moreno233]

What a surprise! Barcelona is one goal down, something totally unexpected and I think it is the fault of the goalkeeper because he ought to save that ball. If this stands, it will be very devastating for gamblers because everyone gave Barcelona direct win as the odd was very attractive. I don't see any anxiety on the side of Rayo Vallecano so I feel this match might be a big surprise to all. However, the goal is too early so I doubt if they will be able to sustain it till full time as they are playing away.

Mallorca vs Sevilla

Mallorca (confirmed lineup): Leo Roman, Pablo Maffeo, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Johan Mojica, Samu, Manu Morlanes, Antonio Sanchez, Sergi Darder, Cyle Larin, Vedat Muriqi.

Sevilla (confirmed lineup): Oerjan Haaskjold Nyland, Jesus Navas, Loic Bade, Nemanja Gudelj, Adria Pedrosa, Juanlu Sanchez, Lucien Agoume, Saul Niguez, Dodi Lukebakio, Kelechi Iheanacho, Kelechi Iheanacho.

Both Mallorca and Sevilla are in the same lane meaning the have achieved the same thing in time of point, game won, game lost and game draw, the two have to struggle to get a full points. Even in their last five matches they had the same thing. Let wait and see if today things will change.

It's going to be very difficult, but I expect Mallorca to win this game. Sevilla started the new season with changes in the squad and so far things are not going their way. Maybe they weren't active in the transfer market and didn't lose much except for En Nesyri, but they have brought in young players. And Pimienta is in charge of the team. Sevilla's squad needs a certain amount of time to adapt to the pitch.

Sevilla don't have big targets for this season. With only one point in the first two weeks, they have shown that the team can be dangerous when it is cohesive. Mallorca, on the other hand, have made few additions to their squad and have brought in a experienced like Arrasate as coach. They played better than expected against Real Madrid in the first week of the league and can exploit their opponents inexperience against Sevilla. I think Mallorca will use their home advantage and win this match, even if it will be difficult.

Sevilla team is disappointing their fans this season as well as last season. Their performance is very poor. The team could not win even one of the three matches. Draw two matches and lose one. The team also shared points against Mallorca in today's match.

Sevilla's main weakness is their attack. In this match as well, I saw that Sevilla's players could not score a single goal despite a lot of attacks. A total of probably 16 shots were managed by Sevilla's players. On the target, even after having 7 shots, Sevilla could not score a single goal. Sevilla management should have tried to strengthen their attack this season. But the Sevilla management has not spent any money on player purchases this season. We probably won't see Sevilla in the top 10 of the table this season either.

Barcelona is not an easy and weak team they also beat Real Madrid 2-1 in August 4th match. so Barcelona has a chance to win the match against Rayo Vallecano at least 2-0 in this match. But nothing can be guaranteed in football.  Because there are times when a strong team loses a match against a weaker team due to some weakness. so in this match we can expect Barcelona to win but Rayo Vallecano can win if they have good luck and good performance.

No, I don't think Barcelona only have the chance to win Rayo but I think they have everything it takes to get the victory. Since Barcelona defeated Real Madrid on the 4th of August, I realized they were in for something bigger this season and could see a little effect on the new manager. The 2 - 1 win over Real Madrid was not by chance, they did their best to achieve that.

Rayo Vallencano is not as strong as Barcelona's squad so I'm rest assured this game will be a major milestone to the Barcelona as it will help them achieve more points. The strategy is to win small matches and also work towards winning the big ones. That's the precedence that the Barcelona team is setting up right now. I hope they sustain it throughout the season though.

I am not surprised that Baca is one goal down in the first half because it is possible that Bacra will equalize the goal in this first half and take Thebes lead maybe in the second half. One thing I know is that Rayo will not win Barca because they are not as strong as Barca.

In Barca first match this season against Valencia, this was how Valencia scored first before Barca but it turned out that Barca equalized the goal and won the match with 2-1 victory against Villarreal. Betting on Barca does not mean that you have lost your bet yet until the game is over. If Barcelona did not score in this first half, the second half Willmar be in their favor.

Barcelona have a losing record against Rayo Vallecano in the past. But I don't expect Barcelona to lose in this match at all. I bet Barcelona to win. I hope Barcelona will not disappoint me today.

Rayo Vallecano lead 1-0 just 9 minutes into the match. Vallecano took the lead with a goal from midfielder Unai Lopez. But overall performance of Barcelona is not to my liking. In 35 minutes, this team managed to make only 4 shots. As Barcelona are already trailing 1-0. So Barcelona should play attacking strategy. And 1-1 in the first half. In the second half, Rayo Vallecano will play completely defensively and try to finish the match 1-0. Rayo Vallecano's defensive strategy will make it more difficult for Barcelona's players to score.

Barcelona still has time to turn things around, trailing 1-0 is still reasonable to chase, because the match is still running in the first half. I think Barcelona will play more aggressively in the second half, and Hansi Flick will definitely rotate players. What makes me curious is why Hansi Flick didn't play Dani Olmo from the first minute, even though he is good enough to play as a starter, I hope he can make his debut today. So far Barcelona looks very dominant in possession of the ball, and that's good enough because it allows them to create more opportunities to score goals.

Unai Lopez managed to score a quick goal in the 9th minute, and it must be admitted that the goal has put Barcelona under pressure, but from the course of the match we can see that the mentality of the Barcelona players did not collapse. Besides, I didn't expect Rayo Vallecano to play so aggressively, they seemed to be pressing from the start of the match. The first half is over, Hansi Flick must change his strategy in the second half, at least Barcelona can make the match a draw. It would be a shame if Barcelona lost points today, but that could happen. Let's see how the match goes in the second half, whether Rayo Vallecano solid defense can be penetrated.

[DanWalker]

Sevilla's situation is even weaker this season. Day by day we see the deterioration of this group. Sevilla were very close to the relegation zone last season. Sevilla management should have strengthened their squad this season. But they failed to do so. They failed to win the first two matches. The team shared the points with Las Palmas. and lost 2-1 against Villarreal.

Two latest seasons, Sevilla were in crisis but they successfully to avoid relegation at the end but their quality is no longer good. I believe that Sevilla will be relegated in this season or the next one. If they can not resolve their problems in quality and performances, things will become worse season by season so eventually a relegation is unavoidable.

Is Sevilla management financially weak? Or does the management have no desire to finish in the top 6 of the table and qualify for the Champions League or Europa League? 2019-20. In the 20-21 and 21-22 seasons we saw excellent performances from Sevilla. The team finished fourth in the table in all three seasons. But I was very surprised to see the sudden collapse of Sevilla. However, this season I would expect the Sevilla management to take the necessary steps to strengthen their squad. But Sevilla did not take the necessary steps to strengthen their squad. So it would be foolish to expect anything better from this team this season as well. We have to be very careful even betting on Sevilla's matches.

Betting on Barca does not mean that you have lost your bet yet until the game is over. If Barcelona did not score in this first half, the second half Willmar be in their favor.

Rayo Vallecano managed to score an early goal, and Barcelona had almost all of them to equalize, but they did not succeed, although there were good chances for this. Now if Rayo Vallecano concentrate on defense in the second half, it will be even more difficult for them, and the hosts may well choose such a strategy. For now, there is hope that Barcelona can turn the tide of this match, the half should be enough for this.

In this match I also bet on Barcelona's victory, but after seeing Barcelona's game in the first half, I had to accept the fact that my bet lost. The first half of Barcelona's game was very bad, their defense was very weak.

With a goal behind, of course every Rayo Vallecano player will take advantage of the time. They will try hard to play disciplined in the second half, and Rayo's defense in the first half was very solid, they were disruptive and successful. Which made Pedri, Torres, and Lewandowski unable to do much in the first half. Flick must make important changes in the second half, otherwise Barcelona may not win this match.

Barcelona in the second half must try to slow down the game a little. Because Rayo's defense is very tight, especially in midfield. That way they can try to pull Rayo's block. Because Barcelona's game in the first half was too direct, making their game chaotic.

[AYOBA]

Barcelona remains the favorite and they are a strong team in La Liga. I dare to bet on Blaugrana and they will win the match. Hansi Flick is eager to prove his capacity and he wants to bring El Barca back to being able to compete with Real Madrid who in the last few seasons have always been the ruler. Even though they are being hit by the issue of a financial crisis that has not been resolved, the players and coaches remain focused on the match being played.

We all know that Barcelona is a favorite team in La Liga, but today matche against vallecano has not yet easy for them, because as it stands now the vallecano is leading Barcelona by 1 goals this shows that Barcelona have to put much of they reall want win this match for them to remain favorite as people identify them.

Because if we look at their game Barcelona have dominate the entire possession but unable to equalize back since the first half is still going on let see what Barcelona can able to do before first half should end up, but in my view the way their leading the match possession they might bring the positive outcome.

That's right, Vallecano quick goal disrupted Barcelona's defense but we can also see that Barcelona continued to attack since the first half at least Barcelona have fired 14 shots and if they continue to do so then there is a chance Barcelona could equalize. By the way Barcelona played with the main squad it means they are ready to get points today, whether it is 1 point or 3 points. Do you think Robert Lewandowski will score today? he is currently on the top scorers  list with a record of 3 goals.

Not everything is so bad, Barcelona's defense is good, but it is difficult to play without mistakes, but Rayo Valcano's defense systematically has very significant failures, and if Lewandowski had not rushed, Barcelona could already be ahead. 65th minute 1:1 and Barcelona has enough time to achieve victory, but I see that they have rebuilt and it seems that they are going to play with 5 defenders, it is obvious that they will try to keep the score tied.

[red4slash]

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.

I'm curious why some individuals his tactics as being poor when it is really effective making Real Madrid the most fearsome team in the world sometimes simplicity is the best and this is what we get from Ancelotti.

Many people think that in this era of modern football, their attacking schemes must be very good and have very good ball possession, for example, as Pep did with Mancehster City so when looking at Ancelotti's scheme which is quite simple because sometimes they in previous seasons always do a fast counter-attacking scheme and play all out in the 15 minutes before the game ends, they don't really like it but I think the same as what you said because Ancelotti actually has a scheme that is quite effective because in the end regardless of the scheme carried out the fact is that the achievements and series of good performances he always gets.

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.

Real Madrid has always been a club where respect for everyone is much expected from every player even at least from the fact that they are teammate though I also love how they are always supportive to each other like they got each other backs, this is more than just respect each other rather they show love and unity.
Like the Bible said A house divided by itself cannot stand, I believe this is the same principle they have at Real Madrid and that's the reason with a short time they can easily bounce out of a terrible season like nothing ever happened.

Actually I think Ancelotti key tactics is from the fact that he knows how to make players believe more on their self for improvement and this is the reason I guessed individually all Real Madrid stars are fearsome since any can step up for the team at any time.

Madrid's young players are now mentally well-formed and it's just a matter of honing their attacking players' goal-scoring instincts. Mbappe has not been able to score until now even though Mbappe's performance in the last 2 matches is still quite good but because his position is indeed less ideal with Mbappe because he prefers to be a winger, there still needs to be habituation in this case so that Mbappe is more able to explore the attack line well and become the goal machine that is always expected. But for the problem of ego and teamwork and mutual support I think for now Madrid is very good because it can do that with players who are still very young.

Barcelona from the beginning playing well and their defence if good. And Rayo Vallecano is also trying their effort to make sure that they win the game. Now that it is only it is only 13 minutes are left, which is the hot period of a football game, we will know who win the game. Rayo Vallecano defence is also good so let's watch out.
