La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Frankolala]

-snip-and also we will see whether Ancelotti can fix Real Madrid or not to make Barcelona down from the top of the standings.

Real Madrid started the season in a bad way. But Real Madrid is not like other teams. They have a winning mentality and I am sure they will get back to winning ways in the next few games. Real Madrid always manage to come back from difficult positions and in the end they will be the champions again. It is still early in the season so we cannot say that Barcelona will stop Madrid's dominance after getting 4 wins. If the points difference in the middle of the season is only around 1 to 4 or 5 points, then it is just a matter of time for Madrid to knock Barcelona down the standings. What Madrid is capable of is being consistent in every game until the end of the season. But if Barcelona can lead by 10 points then it will be difficult for Madrid to catch up.

Yes, the season has not been in favor of Real Madrid. They really started badly, but the truth about Real Madrid is that they can turn up at any time, and when they're back in form, they always beat any team that comes their way. However, with the way Barcelona is playing currently, I don't know if they will give up easily they're in winning spirits. I just wish that Real Madrid could get back to their form and make La Liga more competitive. Let's see how Real Madrid plays today; maybe they will win the game or draw. I have a little confidence that Real Madrid will try their best to win today's match against Betis.It would be bad not to win today's match. I don't think even a draw would satisfy Real Madrid fans; only winning can put smiles on their faces.

You're right. Real Madrid has not received any favors this season, but I am confident that they will return soon and prove themselves. They have played three matches, two of which were draws and one of which was a win, so I don't see anything wrong with the season as a whole, so they will undoubtedly perform well very soon and challenge Barcelona, who have not lost a single match in the league, because with how they are playing, I don't see any club stopping them if it is not Real Madrid. There match against Real Betis is going well; they are really doing amazing. They dominate the first half nicely, but they have not had the opportunity to score goals. Mbappe is really trying to score but yet he is as not get the chance let see how the second half will be, if he will score is first goal for Real Madrid today in the league. Madrid need to try and get the winning tonight and am confident they will try because they are playing at home and won't let the fans be ashamed with the squad they have and playing draw in the games.

I am not happy with the recent performance of Real Madrid as they are finding it difficult to score goals unlike last season that goals were just pumping into their opponents net. I think the absence of Toni Kroos is affecting the midfield and their performance. Vini tried his best to give some cross out but there was no one to put the ball into the empty net.

I hope for a breakthrough in the second half for Real Madrid because it will not be nice for them to lose or draw this match. Mbappe needs to understand Vini and Rodrigo properly so that he can find the back of the nest easily.

The Real Madrid vs Real Betis match has been going on for 30 minutes, but neither of them has managed to score a goal. Mbappe repeatedly failed to take advantage of his goal opportunities which probably made several other players frustrated because of it, but I don't think Real Betis's defense would be able to stop Real Madrid's attacks throughout the match.

Real Madrid was good at building attacks, but Real Betis' defense still managed to thwart many opportunities. The first half was still quite long and I thought one of the two teams would score to take the lead. It's up to who will do it first, but if Real Betis scores first then Real Madrid will have difficulty winning this match again.

Real Madrid against Real Betis and am sure that things are not going as planned in the first half for Real Madrid, but am sure when they come back for the second half the game might change because this is not the first time that something like this has happened, am still expecting Madrid to perform well during the second half, because even with the extra time there was no goal in the first half and with the number odd given to real Betis, there is no way they can be able to win real Madrid no matter how hard they try they might be able to, and even if they can stop real Madrid this first half they won't be able to stop them from scoring. real Madrid will double the attacks until they can score, that is one thing I love about Madrid they are consistent and if they don't win this game I will be extremely disappointed because they should be able to defeat real Betis with ease, all this will happen during the second half, there is no attempt made from real Betis yet so no hope for them.

Real Betis is basically not a tough opponent for Real Madrid and that is why the probability of Real Madrid winning is very high. After all Real Madrid is playing at home which can increase the players' motivation to win the match, but the chance of missing out on extra points cannot be completely ignored. If Real Madrid drop any more points today, then they will have to settle for Barcelona leading the standings for longer.

Real Madrid needs to get the victory against Real Betis because they already dropped many points and in today's match if Real Madrid didn't collect 3 points. So obviously it would be hard to catch up to Barcelona. Barcelona has won all the matches and successfully got all the points although they have not made any big signings. But the team is following their tactics under a spell. While real madrid has lost its confidence. What could be the reason for the lack of confidence? 
 
Anyway, the first is to continue. and still match score is 0-0. Real madrid has put in enough efforts to score in the first half, but Real Betis's defense is being criticized and they repeatedly stop the attack. Killian Mbappe is also quiet, possibly there will be some changes in the next half.

Real Madrid do need to win this match, they have a solid and strong team but they seem to be blunt, they have many stars but it is very difficult to produce goals, the match in the first half against Real Betis this time could not get a goal and now the second half is almost running halfway still cannot get a goal, it is quite disappointing.

Even if we think Mbappe will be something valuable for the Real Madrid goal machine, until today it has not been registered as a goal machine in the standings, this is completely beyond expectations, and yes indeed they must accept that Barcelona is much better.

The cause of Real Madrid's inability to score goals
If you are observant, you will know that Real Madrid has been struggling since this season that Kylian Mbappe joined them. I said it before that it would have been better for Madrid if Mbappé didn't arrive.
You need to acknowledge these;

• Even if it's not pronounced, I have observed that Vini Junior and Mbappé hardly pass ball to each other.
• No matter how they both pretend, they are fighting for supremecy.
• Rodrigo who was benched in last match has proven that he owns the right flank.
• Now, Vini Junior's rating keeps dropping because he has been limited with Mbappe.

Real Madrid have been playing very well in this match and haven’t been able to convert any of their chances, this is not good as time is not by their side anymore. They have only won one match this season, drew one and then this one they’re playing now. Mbappe is yet to find his stance and has not yet scored any goal after attempting so many times. I hope today that will be broken.


So quick to have seen him got the opener in this match. This is his first La Liga goal since joining Real Madrid. Let’s see if he can continue to improve on his goal scoring ability. It’s not going to be easy for him either because all of the forward players in the team are goal scorers and would want to top the team as the highest goal scorers.

Now we still hear good comments about Kylian Mbappe's goal. He just got his first goal in La Liga and all the Bernabeu fans were roaring and excited about it. Good job Mbappe, in the end Valverde's beautiful assist made Mbappe score his first goal. This opening goal shows that Mbappe is not the fake player who has been mocked all this time, he is ready to score more goals.

Vinicius has won a penalty which he allowed Mbappe to take the penalty, and Mbappe utilized the chance to score his second goal for Real Madrid in one match. Finally, Mbappe broke the deadlock in Laliga as he scored more than one goal in a match.

Real Madrid is very happy now that they have scored two goals showing that they are in the best place of winning the match. Real Madrid have being motivated to score more goals and who knows if Mbappe will have a hat-trick in this match. Real Madrid is better in this second half than in the first half while their opponent did better in the first half because they were able to stop Re Madrid from scoring any goal. The match is currently 2-0.

Mbappe repeatedly failed to take advantage of his goal opportunities which probably made several other players frustrated because of it, but I don't think Real Betis's defense would be able to stop Real Madrid's attacks throughout the match.

After 3 games, Mbappe finally managed to open his La Liga account this season in today's match.
The first half did look a little less convincing but in the second half Ancelotti's 4-3-3 formation finally succeeded in making Madrid outperform Betis at least in 70 minutes of normal time this time.

This is what I'm waiting for where Madrid get 3 points again and indeed they have to do this especially with the condition of Barcelona at the beginning of this season playing very well so at least Madrid must make a breakthrough by getting 3 points to make the competition at the beginning of the season a little better.
Madrid's dominance was well maintained and the quality of their attack looked much better than against Las Palmas last week. With time still to go with this kind of attack I think it's possible there could be a third goal later on although 2 goals would be enough to seal the 3 points.

Mbappe managed to score 2 goals, while bringing Real Madrid to a 2-0 lead over Real Betis, Valverde provided an assist in a very beautiful way, another goal was scored through a penalty. Bellingham who was sitting in the stands looked very happy, there is no certainty when he will be able to play again. Leading 2-0 is enough to secure 3 points, Ancelotti seems to be telling his players to play more defensively, because the match time is also not long. Most likely Real Betis will not be able to make a surprise, so that the match becomes a draw. Ancelotti seems to have rotated players, pulling out Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos. In my opinion, Real Madrid no longer need to force to score many goals, they only need to maintain their advantage.

This is the most anticipated thing that the fans has been waiting for since the first match of Mbappe and you can see the fan love that he's got despite the slow start of Real Madrid this season but the fans has shown their support for the French man who has struggled so far in the previous matches of Real Madrid.

Nice goal from Mbappe even as he has made it two after converting another one from the penalty kick. Mbappe is never a fake player just that it took him days to prove himself because a lot of people were expecting the Real Madrid team to be very hot since the team is looking complete but they started very poor this season, let's see how the next match will be since the goal has started coming in for Mbappe.

Vinicius has won a penalty which he allowed Mbappe to take the penalty, and Mbappe utilized the chance to score his second goal for Real Madrid in one match. Finally, Mbappe broke the deadlock in Laliga as he scored more than one goal in a match.

Real Madrid is very happy now that they have scored two goals showing that they are in the best place of winning the match. Real Madrid have being motivated to score more goals and who knows if Mbappe will have a hat-trick in this match. Real Madrid is better in this second half than in the first half while their opponent did better in the first half because they were able to stop Re Madrid from scoring any goal. The match is currently 2-0.

The match was very boring before Kylian Mbappe scored. The intensity of the attacks increased after that, which resulted in Mbappe's second goal being awarded a penalty. Now Kylian Mbappe has scored 2 goals and ended his goal drought in La Liga, in fact I think he is aiming for a hat-trick in this match. Mbappe's performance was basically good, but I agree with some previous assumptions that he was unlucky in finishing.

Oh unfortunately, Ancelotti has removed Mbappe and replaced him with Modric. Now it's time for Vinicius to act, but he has to be very careful with his actions considering he already has a yellow card. The fans' wait is over, Mbappe scored 2 goals in this match.

[Smack That Ace]

The performance of Barcelona players can change at any time, not only Barcelona, ​​but other teams too. So far Barcelona has experienced quite a significant increase in performance, but this is only about the first 4 matches. The international break could possibly affect the team's performance as some other users have said, which is true but also not entirely true.

Hansi Flick certainly feels happy about his record at the start of this season as Barcelona's new coach. This squad has scored 13 goals in 4 matches and conceded only 3 goals so far, while the toughest contenders and favorites for the title are still behind in 8th position with a total of 5 points from 3 matches. I believe that Barcelona's new era filled with many young players has continued in the hands of Hansi Flick, so there is great hope for this team to stop Real Madrid from retaining its title.

https://www.espn.com/soccer/report/_/gameId/704692

I expected Barcelona to win this match but I never expected this score. I thought it would be something like 2-0 or 3-1 or something like that. This match was absolutely one-sided and Barcelona did not give their opponent any chance. Raphinha with a hat-trick. Kounde with a brace and Lewandowski, Olmo, and Torres with one goal each, Barcelona was able to score 7 goals.

This has been an incredible start for Barcelona in the new season. And by the way, they are the only team which has been able to win all four matches out of the four that they have played so far. None of the teams have been able to win Four out of four so far. Not even Real Madrid. But Barcelona should not be feeling overconfident and should obviously try to keep the consistency.

In my opinion, Real Madrid no longer need to force to score many goals, they only need to maintain their advantage.

Bellingham and Mbape with Vinicious included are buddies and he is just concerned because how do you think Mbape who is now a renowned striker after 2 games couldn't get a single goal but a guy that is a midfielder already had one. Even Bellingham wouldn't be comfortable with such with all the hype that was around Mbape movement from PSG to Real Madrid only to be like this, but I'm glad he gave them a lead and now secure another point already.

However, there is something about Real Madrid squad I don't understand yet. This Real Madrid need some new players either we like it or not. I'm not comfortable because the old squad is getting older, we need fresh guys in our defensive games. Look who Anceloti used as substitution for Mbape, a whole Modric. The game was already coming to an end but I didn't expect him as substitution for tonight's match.

This goal does not justify having a brilliant performance, Mbappe still needs a lot of input not just individual effort but as a team. Just like you said, there is competition happening between Mbappe and Vini which will/already affecting the club. Everyone expected with these level of players in the squad, it wouldn't take longer securing good amount of goals in most fixtures but turns out to be just wrong, even a small club like Betis, Madrid are still finding it difficult to give the leading goal not untill closer to the 70th minute. I'm holding back from drawing the conclusion of excess squad killing the teams performance, with this performance, their chances of winning titles are limited, they should improve and work things out, also hope the coach sees the poor communication between specific players in his team.

Ancelotti tried to play boldly with his 4-3-3 formation even without Camavinga and Jude in their attacking midfield but they applied Ceballos who was given more confidence in today's match which made me quite doubtful at first.

However, Mbappe's brace in this match was very good and this is what we have been waiting for from the beginning of this season where Mbappe can score his goals in La Liga. 2 goals is certainly very good although 1 goal was created from a penalty but that does not make him not shine in today's match.

Hopefully this will be a good opening for Mbappe and his productivity does not decline after 2 goals in this match because indeed next week there is still a tough match against Sociedad which we know that they are also not an arbitrary club especially they are still one of the dark horses so far.

Yes, finally Mbappe managed to score goals in LaLiga at the 4th round against Real Betis, this might be the start of the white machine after few complications inside their tactics, I was hoping to observe this result sooner, not wishing to see that Ancelotti failing in every match to find the holygrill of all the talented and skilled players in his list.
We also can’t judge the success of his tactic eventually, before following the next outcomes against stronger opponents and in other competitions rather than just LaLiga. For this last one, Real Madrid should fill the gaps between them and Barcelona before they take advantage of their two draw matches, while Barcelona managed to win every single match for now.
The competition this year is proven to be more difficult than last seasons, with many changes in both teams, the Classico will be on fire against the new young stars from both sides, new faces and new football enemies between Real Madrid and Barcelona as we use to see that between Cristiano against Messi.

I mean we had some idea that something like this might happen. And this is where the coach has to come in and fix this problem. It is not very rare to see players not having the best chemistry between each other especially when they never played with each other before. I think we can probably say that this is the start of the season and that’s why the players are a little bit rusty. That is probably a reason why Real Madrid has not been able to win all the matches that they have played so far. But there is definitely a competition going on between the attacking players. I just hope that it turns into a healthy competition and not a competition of how one can get ahead of the other in terms of states.

It is unlikely that Betis seriously expected to come back, they were happy with the score 0-2, as it seems to me, in that sense, losing points in the game against Real is not a surprise at all.
In fact, despite Real's huge advantage in statistical terms, it cannot be said that this was an easy game, Real continues to have problems with teams that focus on defense. I hope that Ancelotti will be able to solve this problem by the game with Atletico.

[JeromeTash]

ained confidence, there is a chance that they could land on some silverware this season.

The positive aroma began to be felt, Barcelona appeared so fierce under the guidance of Hansi Flick, a performance like this has not been seen for a long time since Messi left.
[/quote]
Let's not exaggerate it just because of the 7 goals in one match. Previously, When Xavi was the coach, do you know what most people would say? That he was going to bring back Tikitake to Barcelona and Barcelona would be great again. Where is he today, and how did Barcelona perform under his guidance?  

Great teams and legends don't just get created overnight. Persistence and time are a very big factor in this.
