La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Rabata]

Finally Mbappe has started to make impact.    This was the first match in which there was a good relationship between Vinicius Junior and Mbappe as well. You know both of them have been playing quite selfish until this game.

It is nice to see this but we need to see it more. These two should get along with each other for Real Madrid to be more successful. Because the season hasn't started in a very ideal way for them in the league so far. 

By the way Mbappe is normally a LW. But he has been used as a CF for a long time. If it weren't for Vinicius Junior on the left wing then I would love to see Mbappe playing there instead.

Mbappe was a bit of a target because he couldn't score in the league, but he relaxed a bit by scoring 2 goals. I expect 20 goals from him in La Liga this year, he scored 2 of them, and the remaining 18 goals. I'm sure he will have successful matches in the Champions League. I think Mbappe will be a player to be feared after he solves his adaptation problem.

After not getting a goal in the first match of this season, he was waiting for the 2nd match and when he did not score any goals, he was criticized. He was a little embarrassed of himself. At one point, when he was not make any goal even in the third match, there was a storm of criticism about him. It is not easy for everyone to perform normally at such a stage. But Mbappe was not disappointed in that position. He knew he would get the goal. Finally, in the last match, he got two goals in his possession and end the miserable days. Now he adopt himself in the team and I believe he will surely have a good session for Real Madrid. You expect 20 goals from him, I think he will be able to fulfill this expectation.

Regarding the rating, the first time finally seeing the rating of Real Madrid players, especially Mbappe this season, is very good. Mbappe, Tchouameni, Valverde and Rodrygo were really cool this time.

But, can they be consistent? because their main opponent, Barcelona is also that consistent so far.

The problem now is Ancelloti still hasn’t found his best starting lineup yet and the biggest problem is the midfield, he has started many palyers along side Valverde and Tchouameni but it hasn’t worked, today he experimented Dani Ceballos who was lost in the game and the substitute Brahim Diaz was much better, I think before the team get used to playing with each other Ancelloti needs to find his best midfield combination and then consistency would follow suit

We are so worried, but it seems that Ancelotti is still very confident with the club. In fact, they are not worried about the previous draw results they experienced. Moreover, he realized that the cooperation of the players at Real Madrid was getting better, at that time, Vini JR even let the penalty kick be taken by Mbappe.

Ancelotti appreciates all teamwork and relationships:

Ancelotti said,. whatever the rumors outside, in fact, the relationship between the players is very good. And he believes that in the future, it will be much better.

I am disappointed with this draw, because I bet on Madrid and was sure that Madrid would be able to steal points at Las Palmas' home ground, which is a team that is not favored in this match, although drawing with Madrid is an extraordinary thing for a club like Las Palmas, this bad result worsened Madrid's standings at the start of this season and bringing in Mbappe did not produce good results for Los Blancos, of course this must be evaluated as soon as possible otherwise the title race will be lost and of course their rivals will get it.

It's unbelievable that Real Madrid was unable to beat Las Palmas in their last two games, this isn't the result we expect from Real Madrid in every game, if it hadn't been for the penalty, Madrid would have lost the whole point, and this is the same team that lost their last game to Alaves by two goals, Ancelotti has a lot of work to do since we believe that Mbappe will make Real Madrid difficult for any of its opponents, but their performance has not been what we expected. Barcelona, which we expect to struggle to win games, is currently dominating their opponents; I wouldn't be surprised if they win the league title this season.

However, Real Madrid was even doing better without Mbappe last season, they defeated Las Palmas both at home and away. However, this season appears to be different now with Mbappe, they were unable to score a goal without a penalty, even against Betis yesterday, I was expecting that Real Madrid would perform better to score 3 to 4 goals, but we'll see what happens in the middle of the season.

I think Real Madrid's game organization is not going well and I don't think it should be blamed on one individual. Mbappe can be said to be still in the adaptation period in La Liga and it is very normal for any player not to be able to make a big contribution to the team right away. Ancelotti is quite aware of that but he always has an idea to immediately get his team back on the right track. The match against Real Betis was proof that they really wanted to rise and get perfect points and it looks like team cooperation is starting to improve compared to before.

At least Mbappe and Ancelotti were able to maintain the position they played and according to Mbappe's capacity in his position, it only took time to create his first goal in La Liga, maybe in this match against Real Betis was a lucky day for Mbappe, it cannot be denied that he deserved to celebrate his first goal with Vinícius Júnior because there must be a mystery if these two figures become goal machines for Real Madrid.

[Majestic-milf]

Barcelona literally went through Real Valladolid yesterday with a 7-0 banger and I wonder these clubs managed to make it to the Laliga because this seems like an easy three points for Barcelona who have been successful in getting all 9 points in three games whereas Real Madrid are still finding themselves.
 I'm sure Hansi Flick will be be pleased by how well his men have been able to deliver but where my concern lies is if they can be able to maintain this fine form and deliver when it matters because this was how they did two seasons back; getting goals, raking points but had to lose to Atletico Madrid when they should have taken the cup.

Four consecutive wins obtained at the start of this season indicate that Barcelona performance has improved under Hansi Flick control, in those four matches, Barcelona managed to score 13 goals and only conceded 3 goals. This kind of performance is very different compared to last season, Barcelona lost points very easily which made it difficult for them to compete with Real Madrid.

It's actually three consecutive wins for the Blaugrana and I'm for them. They seem to have more cooperation upfront than Real Madrid and it's this synchrony that gives them goals. Funny, but this is about the highest scoreline I've seen from them since the likes of Messi and co.
 With this number of goals and stellar performance, it only means two things; high boosted morale and a certain form of fear from other teams to thread carefully with them as they are known to demolish teams who stand in their way.

During the previous games they've had good moments together but Kylian Mbappe has not been able to convert most of the chances he had. He was also seem missing chances yesterday, in my opinion, he is not really a number nine striker but more of a player who arrives from the flanks.

Consistency is what that matters right now. They fail to do that, then they can not catch up with Hansi Flick and Barcelona. Barcelona might not be able to win the big games because of poor defenders but they have done well against the smaller clubs in La Liga Competition. I want to see him on the left wing, Endrick as the central forward and then Vinicius Junior as the right winger. I would love to see him do it back to back. Carlo Ancellotti should know that they need enough creativity to unlock these young pacy players he's got. Do anyone envisage Jurgen Klopp becoming the next manager of Real Madrid? I see that happening up in my head.

[Spaceman1000$]

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.

Mbappe really showed his class in this game, after previously failing to score in the first three La Liga matches, he immediately stepped on the gas by scoring two goals against Real Betis and becoming the hero of Real Madrid victory. Now Mbappe has started to register his name on the scoreboard, his goal tap has started to open, Ancelotti really hopes that the former PSG player can help the sharpness of Real Madrid front line which has had difficulty scoring goals in the last match. Bellingham was delighted to see his team return to winning ways after only managing two draws in their last three games, his presence was eagerly awaited by Real Madrid players and fans alike as his ability is believed to improve the quality of Real Madrid attack.

What a way to announce his arrival at real Madrid, it was classy show for Mbappé and his real Madrid team mates, though they didn't have a wonderful first half but they still went ahead to beat Real betis by 2 goals. I think this Real Madrid side are still trying to get their Rhythm back as they were last season, or even better though they are experiencing some glitches but it's normal for a team that have absorbed some new players into the fold and are experimenting to see where they may really fit in. I think they may have started their journey to success by beating betis and may continue progressing all the way which leaves everyone sceptical about this season's el classico, and how interesting it would be to have all those wonderful stars from Madrid and Barca on the same pitch.

Now that's the Kylian Mbappé Real Madrid fans have all been wanting to see, when he came into the team alot was expected from him, based on his quality but he couldn't deliver as expected in their last two games but having a brace is a very good way to win the heart of the Real Madrid fans again and hopefully it would help him improve better in their upcoming matches. Well, you're right cause they're not at the peak of their form yet but they'll bounce back stronger very soon, all they just need to work on is some individuals performance and try to work together as a team on the pitch instead of trying to set individual records at this early stage, why I said so I cause Vini Jr and Mbappé are world class players and from their previous matches they're not really co-operating with each other but instead are trying to set individual records, they constantly get selfish with clear passes that would've led to goal and that's been killing their gameplan and causing the goal drought in the 1st half especially, but I believe they'll bounce back stronger.

[hahay]

It all takes a process for Vinicius and Mbappe to have stronger chemistry but I think both of these players have quite good individual qualities so we just need time to see it all happen.
Mbappe's two goals in the second half to ensure Real Madrid's victory over Real Betis were not that special because Madrid were favored to win from the start but I think Mbappe's goal was quite important for him and the team to be able to improve their mentality and confidence to be able to build a much stronger chemistry between players.
Ancelotti is a very experienced coach so he knows what he has to do and with Madrid's new squad now we will see their strength slowly, I am quite optimistic about that.

Mbappe goal was very important to build his confidence with Madrid, Vinicius in today match was not at all selfish and I respect him for giving a penalty kick for Mbappe to motivate. Although it is still less than a perfect game but at least this performance is a little better than the previous 2 matches. Give them time to understand each other and trust Ancelotti to do his job. Everything takes time and hopefully Real Madrid will find their best game.

This is the greatness of Real Madrid, even though they are all stars but they can easily give their teammates a good score or rating. Because after all, if we consider their age which is still young but they are not too selfish to take a penalty kick, and give it to Mbappe which of course is a good thing to build good chemistry in the future. But with the two goals that Mbappe has in this match, at least it surprised me a little, considering in the previous match they played badly.

But yes, I am also happy with Real Madrid's victory because at the same time Mbappe also managed to score a goal  which gives a good sign for the future too. With results like this and then there will be an international break, then hopefully Real Madrid will be even better after the international break, because I have very high hopes for every Real Madrid match.

Finally, he found the back of the net, and it was not been easy to get because it had to go through 4 matches, and might even make some people question whether he's really that good. That goal not only relieved him but I also saw that his teammates (Bellingham and Camavinga who were in the audience) were cheering with joy. So it has a pretty good impact on the mentality of the whole team.

Mbappe must not be complacent yet because this has only just begun, and from the way he plays he is still not really in tune with his team, so he has to quickly learn and adapt.

Mbappe journey at the beginning of this season with Madrid was not perfect after his failures in the first few games of Manchester United, but finally after getting 3 failures in the previous match, Mbappe's performance against Real Betis really shows his quality as a striker so far and after his first goal was scored in La Liga then I am sure we will continue to see him consistent in scoring goals, because all this time the new player  only needs first goals to continue to be consistent in creating goals in new teams, Mbappe is a great striker and I think although he may have a little difficulty adapting to Madrid in La Liga but it is likely that he will have a big contribution to any future Madrid victory like Ronaldo has in the past.

It is not a problem where Mbappe is positioned because Mbappe can move to the right position for him if he can share roles with other players such as with Vini.
In their last three meetings, I admit that Real Betis is always difficult to beat. Even if Real Betis loses, the score difference is only 1.

Beyond what we are discussing, I want to mention that Mbappe has shown his business in front of the Bernabeu public when defeating Real Betis. Two of his print winning goals. Is it possible that the executor of the penalty kick will be handed over to him while he plays?

[hyudien]

We can say that Ancelotti is very confident in Kylian Mbappé's abilities. I heard that he warned his players to pass the ball to Mbappé's empty runs. He must be very confident in his shooting ability. He is not wrong about that either, he is very good at finishing. His first goal in the Real Betis match shows this. When the position was over, he got away and scored a very nice goal. He will slowly find himself, he will be more motivated as he scores goals.

Everyone also does not doubt Kylian Mbappé skills, but he needs a little time to adapt to playing in La Liga. The reason is, Mbappé is used to playing in the farmer's league while with PSG. You know that clubs in Ligue 1 play football only as a requirement to accompany PSG. While now Mbappé is playing in La Liga where in terms of quality competition between teams is almost equal in strength. Ancelotti has the task of raising Mbappé level of play to a higher level. Well, the first 2 goals must have motivated and raised his mentality again.

[rahmad2nd]

If it is said like that then it will be wrong because not only Real Madrid but every team wants to win every match. In the two matches that Real Madrid drew, they certainly tried and played aggressively but they didn't succeed there, maybe there was something wrong with their strategy or they didn't play the strategy that they came out on the field with. Each team usually plays about 38 matches in a season. Real Madrid have failed to win two matches out of 38 matches but it can certainly be called a long backlog. 

However, the matches ahead of them must be taken hard and they should get full points in every match otherwise it will be difficult for them to retain the title of the tournament.

Since the match started until the end of the first half, I began to doubt that Mbappe would score a goal in this match. Although Mbappe always had opportunities, he was unable to convert them into goals. In addition, considering that he has not been able to break through to score his first goal in La Liga. Talking about Real Madrid's performance, we all know very well that Don Carlo needs to adjust his system so that his team can play properly. It is proven, in last night's match Don Carlo again applied the 4-3-3 pattern. This time Ancelotti's strategy went according to plan, El Real's players as a whole played impressively. Although the match was tough, Mbappe's goal was a victory for his team. Plus, he was given the opportunity to execute a penalty shot and was able to utilize it very well. IMO, we don't need to talk about Real Madrid for a full season. At least, for the next few matches regarding Mbappe's consistency. Because, the other Real Madrid players know Ancelotti's style and game plan very well.  as I said in some previous posts, that Madrid is the team that has the most depth of players that are very competitive. the rest, depends on how Ancelotti applies the most ideal pattern as their standard from match to match.

[GxSTxV]

Is it possible that the executor of the penalty kick will be handed over to him while he plays?

I believe that even Vinicius is giving Mbappe more authority over penalties and focus on him as the main striker this season, and honestly not many players like Vini can do that without jealousy, he is a great example for team play and good attitude to improve the team results. Real Madrid is showing their strength starting from this 4th round after many issues and media reports attacking the coach and players for their performance. We cannot be sure until the next meeting now, and the white house should once again prove his power and recover against the leaders in standings.
In the other hand, Barcelona team are proving and working to build better strategies, tactics and gameplay to face their opponents in UCL, especially against Bayern Munich.
Winning LaLiga trophy for me is very depending upon the whole team to play together, as we have seen what Girona with young and new local players did, beside their great win against Barcelona 4-2 in both legs, would we see a revenge from them this season?

When the position was over, he got away and scored a very nice goal. He will slowly find himself, he will be more motivated as he scores goals.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti already knows the abilities of Kylian Mbappe just before he arrived his new club and that's why he wasn't happy that he wasn't getting those defense splitting passes each time he makes those brilliant runs. Federico Valverde made that deft touch of a pass in to open Kylian Mbappe and the French striker understood he needed to make a run to get the ball which I think can only be made by brilliant players who perfectly understands the game. I have never doubted the prolificity of Kylian Mbappe even when he wasn't getting the goals in his first three league games and I'm very happy he was able to finally score  two goals yesterday and would definitely be scoring may more in time games to come

yes of course now Real Madrid is very extraordinary and of course very ready for the next match and honestly I like the celebration that Mbappe did he was very excited, and honestly I am also very happy because I bet on Real Madrid's victory.

Gratz! It was easy +30%. Unfortunately, I waited for the odds to become more interesting (for example, if Betis scores first) and in the end I didn’t place a bet at all.
By the way, bookmakers don't give a damn about the current standings and the fact that Barcelona is leading with a 4-point advantage over Real:

Real Madrid - 1.50

Barcelona Fc - 3.25

The quotes are practically the same as they were at the beginning of the season.

[naira]

This is the greatness of Real Madrid, even though they are all stars but they can easily give their teammates a good score or rating. Because after all, if we consider their age which is still young but they are not too selfish to take a penalty kick, and give it to Mbappe which of course is a good thing to build good chemistry in the future. But with the two goals that Mbappe has in this match, at least it surprised me a little, considering in the previous match they played badly.

But yes, I am also happy with Real Madrid's victory because at the same time Mbappe also managed to score a goal  which gives a good sign for the future too. With results like this and then there will be an international break, then hopefully Real Madrid will be even better after the international break, because I have very high hopes for every Real Madrid match.

As long as Real Madrid players respect each other then I will not worry about their performance on the field. Vinicius, Mbappe and Rodrygo in the future will continue to show their quality, for me this is just the beginning. In the future these 3 players will be more solid, then we also have Bellingham, Valverde, Arda, Brahim Diaz and Endrick where all of them will definitely find their best players as time goes by.

Real Madrid's victory over Betis is worth celebrating, considering how important it is to build confidence for new players like Mbappe whose role will be much more important for Real Madrid. Remember the BBC trio (Bale, Benzema, Cristiano) is a very deadly combination of Real Madrid attacks and hopefully we can see it in the current era with the new formation.
