La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Agbamoni]

I don't even know which game scares me more 
Real Madrid have injuries + the mood of Brazilians is at zero or even lower after the games of the national teams. Barcelona is overrated but even so the odds are 1.85 which is not far from a 50% chance of winning.
The only thing I'm more or less sure of is BTTS in the Girona - Barcelona game.

Thank you for your opinion, it made me realize that I missed good odds on BTTS (Yes). After considering it, it seems that you are right, even though Girona is currently experiencing a decline in performance, but logically Girona is playing at home and of course Girona has the opportunity to score at least 1 goal even though Barcelona must win at the end of the match. I have placed a single bet on the BTTS option with odds @1.53
And for the Madrid match against Real Sociedad, I have decided to place a bet on Madrid score over 1.5 with odds @1.82. Indeed, several Madrid players are injured, but there are still Mbappe, Vinic and Rodrygo who are ready to break into Real Sociedad goal.

Odds @1.53 I don't think it's worth it to choose, we better look for other options.
Barcelona is currently in its best form and Girona has not found its best form until now so even though Girona is playing at home I don't think there is a big percentage for them to be able to score a goal.
So I think it's better to bet on Barcelona's victory in this match with a handicap, I think Barcelona is currently in a positive trend and high confidence.

As for the Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad match I think the Real Madrid team doesn't want to gamble on their slump at the beginning of this season, despite the many injured main players but I think Madrid can win this match.

I am comfortable with the odds he chose in that game. It's not as little as you see it. Because when you combine it with other odds it will increase the profits. Sometimes it is not about choosing the high or low odds what should be more important is the fact that you choose the odd with the most possible outcomes. And yes, Barcelona will score and probably Girona will score. It's a game of two goals and above but if it was me picking these games. I can still go for Barcelona to win the game. Even with their performance these days i see them winning Girona in that game. Girona is yet to understand itself. They have improved but don't keep consistency in winning games that is why i can consider them not winning the game.

So, my prediction at the end will be Barcelona to win or draw. To me, this is the safest prediction on that game. Girona can twin Barcelona so its either Barcelona wins or worst comes to worst they wrap it up a draw match.

[CageMabok]

Girona started this season not so impressively in 4 matches at the beginning of this season they have experienced 1 defeat and 1 draw so the conclusion is that Girona this season is not better than last season, it is clear that there is a difference so that what happened last season cannot be used as a reference and Barcelona has actually been much better this season with all the changes they made making them now appear much stronger even though some matches at the beginning of the season also cannot be used as a reference. And for this weekend's match I think Barcelona will be very favored and they have a large percentage to win the match even though the match will be played at Girona's home ground.

It is still very early to draw conclusions like that in just four matches because currently Girona itself is not in a worse position than other teams because from the four matches that Girona has played, the team is currently in the top five of the standings and it is very possible that Girona can reach a much better position because there are many matches that have not been played this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona is indeed a good team, even though last season the team did not win a single trophy under Xavi's coaching, but this season Barcelona has shown their ability again to be a title contender in La Liga.

[Weawant]

Xavi left in disappointment and Flick came with a squad that at least Xavi had built quite well despite the club's financial constraints. Now what Flick is doing is perfecting the legacy of the previous coach in a fairly satisfying way. I admit that Barcelona in Flick hands is inseparable from Xavi intervention in the past. Barcelona players are very mature even though they are still young but can adapt very quickly to the new coach. That is their advantage in the midst of financial shortcomings, there is always something that differentiates them from clubs whose finances are stable but whose players cannot be more mature and independent.

A very key fact here is that xavi did mad a solid foundation already before he left so most other coaches who may come after him wouldn't have a very tedious job to do expect they jeopardize the foundation instead of consolidating upon it, then they will get Barcelona to another messy state to do a scratch start all over but then Flick doesn't seem to be in that path, he's rather consolidating well upon that which he's leveraging some advantage and has propelled Barcelona to an obvious commendable strat for the season. The reason I will strongly say it's all on xavis foundation is because the financial mess isn't totally cleaned up and improvements are visible and ofcourse that was what xavi did almost all through his stay, if flick where to be there initially, probably it wouldn't have been this easy but then what matters the most is in the progress they are making already so far.

An underdog must have a good start, I don't remember there was an underdog can become a champion when they have a bad start.

That's why since Girona's performance wasn't good enough in the beginning, it seems Girona will not achieve anything in this season. It seems that Villarreal will become an underdog in this season, many new players they sign are impactful.

[bastisisca]

In the next few days the league will start again after the international break and I have two matches that are the main options to follow and make one of the team from both matches as the favorite.
Real Sociedad against Real Madrid and this is an away match for Real Madrid but they are still the favorites and are really favored even though in the two matches at the beginning of this season they had draw with only against the lower team, Real Madrid will still be the favorite for everyone.
Girona against Barcelona is the second match that I will follow and I think this will be an interesting match because Girona plays at home and Barcelona itself is team that can win from four matches at the beginning of the season, for this match I think Girona can give surprise, I predict the result might be draw or narrow win for Barcelona.

The odds seem absolutely correct and very very attractive to me.
I think I want to open a sort of Spanish branch of my betting, in my opinion it can be done well here too.
Furthermore, I think that Real Madrid are really obliged to win otherwise the advantage starts to become very much Barcelona's.

Xavi left in disappointment and Flick came with a squad that at least Xavi had built quite well despite the club's financial constraints. Now what Flick is doing is perfecting the legacy of the previous coach in a fairly satisfying way. I admit that Barcelona in Flick hands is inseparable from Xavi intervention in the past. Barcelona players are very mature even though they are still young but can adapt very quickly to the new coach. That is their advantage in the midst of financial shortcomings, there is always something that differentiates them from clubs whose finances are stable but whose players cannot be more mature and independent.

That's not entirely true, what is clear is that Xavi left after failing to improve Barcelona's performance last season and Hansi Flick's current success cannot be attributed to Xavi, I think that's unfair but what is certain is that Hansi Flick can improve Barcelona's performance now because Hansi Flick is a good coach and the tactics he applies are quite suitable for the players in the current Barcelona squad.
I see Hansi Flick's success that Xavi doesn't have is playing or creating a combination of senior and young players to create stability in team performance, so far this has been quite successful in being implemented by Hansi Flick and it is proven that several senior Barcelona players have experienced an increase in performance again now such as Lewandowski on the Barcelona front line.

Xavi departure actually left a lot of sadness for Barcelona fans at that time, Xavi who came when Barcelona was in a very slumped position was actually willing to give up the luxury he got in the Qatar League just to rebuild Barcelona, but when Barcelona which was actually down with very complicated financial problems did not affect Barcelona performance in his two coaching seasons,  In the first season even Xavi was able to lead Barcelona to win La Liga and last season Barcelona was also able to bring Barcelona to the quarterfinals of the Champions League and also ended the season in the second position of La Liga, so I think we can't say if Xavi work at Barcelona is very bad, related to Xavi dismissal, I think it's no longer an open secret because as we know that previously Xavi dismissal was not related to Barcelona performance So far, Because previously Barcelona also tried hard to keep Xavi who initially wanted to step down, but when Xavi was willing to coach Barcelona again, precisely he was fired because of his statement that criticized Barcelona financial problems at that time.

Girona can still be said to be a mediocre team but Girona still managed to be in the top five at the start of this season, so of course it is a good result for Girona at the start of this season. But indeed, because in the next match Girona will play against Barcelona, ​​then it will still be a difficult match for Girona, because Barcelona in this moment is also the only team in La Liga that has managed to get four wins.

But indeed, if we consider the head to head results in the last two seasons, then Girona looks better but maybe, with head to head results like that it will be a trigger for Barcelona to beat Girona at this moment. Playing away doesn't seem like it will prevent Barcelona from being able to beat Girona, because I also admit that Barcelona under Hansi Flick is a better team than in previous seasons. Therefore, it is not surprising  that even though Barcelona is playing away, but based on the odds, Barcelona is also the favorite team to win.

[Volgastallion]

I dont trust so much Girona this season if you ask me, they dont seem in the same mood like in the last year, plus this kind of little teams not make two consecutive seasons at super top level, you can look into every case, and always they strugled so much to maintain the previous level.

But i also think they are gonna remain in the top 10 of the league.

But indeed, because in the next match Girona will play against Barcelona, ​​then it will still be a difficult match for Girona, because Barcelona in this moment is also the only team in La Liga that has managed to get four wins.

They made big shock in La Liga last season and are doing great performances in early matches this season. It's really hard for Girona to finish this season in top four again but their early matches are very promising. Maybe they won't complete in top four but top six and a ticket to UEFA Europa League next season is a possible target for Girona. They can grow up and increase their competitiveness with time and become a new Sevilla in La Liga.

But indeed, if we consider the head to head results in the last two seasons, then Girona looks better but maybe, with head to head results like that it will be a trigger for Barcelona to beat Girona at this moment.

Barcelona are stronger and are performing better than Girona too so they have better chance to beat Girona in coming match. It will be a big test for Girona but they are strong mentally as shown in last season and this season too. Big test is tough but Girona are not fearful and they can go through a big test with good result even the opponent is Barcelona.

[Leviathan.007]

At the beginning of the season, I wasn't happy about Xavi's departure though I used to prefer him over Flick but with Flick's performance so far I must say I'm impressed even at the pre-season staged, though we are still early into the whole paparazzi but it's really a good start and we expect something more from him(winning his First Laliga trophy in Barca should be one of it).

Xavi has coached Barcelona well and has made Barcelona win the title and I am the same as you and to be honest at that time I personally also thought that Xavi's departure would make Barcelona lose its performance but yes now the German coach has proven himself that he can improve Barcelona's performance good and can continue Xavi's struggle well.

Of course, it cannot be denied that Barcelona's start to this season has been very impressive and of course the hope of becoming LaLiga champions this season has great potential for Barcelona. but of course we'll see what happens with Barcelona in the next match and we'll see whether Hansi Flick will be able to make Barcelona consistently win or not, but what is clear is that the hope of Barcelona fans now wants to see Barcelona become champions this season and of course now Hansi Flick certainly must try to make it happen and if Hansi Flick can make Barcelona fans' dreams come true, of course Barcelona fans will be proud to have coach Hansi Flick. Yes, we'll see whether Hansi Flick will be able to win his first trophy in Laliga or not.

But of course I can't wait to see Barcelona's match against Real Madrid and if, for example, Barcelona can win the El Clasico match, of course there is a big possibility that Barcelona will be able to win the title this season, but it is certainly not an easy thing to play against Real Madrid. but unfortunately the match is still a long time away.

I was not going to start talking about the past of Barcelona but we know Xavi was a good coach, he started working in Barcelona as a young coach while he was not experienced enough and Barcelona was his first team in Europe but still, he won the title of La Liga with Barcelona which is a great achievement for him.
But he wanted to make huge changes in this team and making all these changes could cost a lot for Barcelona, that's why Barcelona got him fired from the team because they didn't have the enough money to give him enough tools while now Flick has the same station in Barcelona.

I am sure Xavi would have finished the season better if he hadn't struggled with injuries last year. They had already won the championship the season before. I think Xavi is being treated unfairly. The new manager started the league well but we don't know if he will continue. It is unfair to say that he is better than Xavi with a few games he played. Xavi left him a team that was sitting on the dock but when he took over his own team, Barcelona was in ruins.

They can grow up and increase their competitiveness with time and become a new Sevilla in La Liga.

I'm also not quite sure that Girona will be able to repeat their success last season because they let Artem Dovbyk go to Roma. I think Artem Dovbyk has made a big contribution last season and he is also the top scorer. Girona made the mistake of letting him leave just to get 30 million euros. They should have gotten more than that, so they could have more options in bringing in new players.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I dont trust so much Girona this season if you ask me, they dont seem in the same mood like in the last year, plus this kind of little teams not make two consecutive seasons at super top level, you can look into every case, and always they strugled so much to maintain the previous level.

But i also think they are gonna remain in the top 10 of the league.

I also think so. They will probably stay in the top 10 but it looks like they are not going to have as good a season as last year. It wouldn't be the first time that a team with such a poor history has spent several seasons fighting for the top, as happened with Deportivo de la Coruña some time ago, for example, but it's certainly something exceptional.

The odds are worth betting on for Real Madrid to win here. This makes it more interesting because next match real society is going to face against real madrid in this match real madrid will definitely win the match by seeing the best performance in it. Real Madrid will be bound to win the above match as they must do well in this match to compete with Barcelona.

Xavi left him a team that was sitting on the dock but when he took over his own team, Barcelona was in ruins.

Xavi's case is an old story, yes he was not given a fair treatment at Barcelona because he won them a trophy and should've been given more time and backed by the board, but they made their decision and brought in this recent coach who has more experience than him when it comes to managerial role and so far he's doing a great job, I'm pretty sure that he'll succeed at Barcelona, the only thing for fans to worry about is injury crisis, it hit the club so bad last season and that's why their performance wasn't as expected but one thing I love about Barcelona is that even in their worst form they'll still manage to finish in the top four effortlessly. Hansi Flick is a very good manager with lots of experience, he's been successful in the past in both domestic and top league games, he's won about 7 trophies which includes major ones like Champions league, Super Cup and Club World Cup and I believe that with such experience, Barcelona team is in safe hands. So far, i've seen improvements from their previous games against inferior clubs and I believe they'll do better against top clubs in the league, their next match is away from home against Girona, it's not going to be an easy one but with Barcelona's current form they might win or draw that game.

[Jossque]

Leganes will host Real Betis in the opening match of the week.Leganes have 5 points from 4 matches and Betis have 2 points from 3 matches in the league.The home side Real Betis are naturally the favorites in this match.This is an opportunity for Betis, who started the season with both Real Madrid and Girona, to show themselves.I think Betis will win this match comfortably at home.

A very key fact here is that xavi did mad a solid foundation already before he left so most other coaches who may come after him wouldn't have a very tedious job to do expect they jeopardize the foundation instead of consolidating upon it, then they will get Barcelona to another messy state to do a scratch start all over but then Flick doesn't seem to be in that path, he's rather consolidating well upon that which he's leveraging some advantage and has propelled Barcelona to an obvious commendable strat for the season. The reason I will strongly say it's all on xavis foundation is because the financial mess isn't totally cleaned up and improvements are visible and ofcourse that was what xavi did almost all through his stay, if flick where to be there initially, probably it wouldn't have been this easy but then what matters the most is in the progress they are making already so far.

To be honest, I would say between agree and disagree. The reason is, I think that Xavi aims to repeat Barcelona's playing style like the Pep Guardiola era. Even with his style and characteristics, unfortunately Xavi failed to further improve Barcelona in the following season. Well, apart from the fact that he had difficulty recruiting the players he wanted. IMO, Barcelona actually has a foundation with their philosophy. Every coach who handles Barca, only continues it. Including Hansi Flick who carries the same philosophy but with a different packaging. Xavi's era is over with Barcelona, ​​as a supporter I still appreciate him, especially since he presented one La Liga trophy. In the Flick era, he had stated to several media that he would implement Pep Guardiola's style. But that doesn't mean he will imitate Pep's characteristics, because Flick is a coach who has many tactics and experience. I remember Flick's statement before La Liga started, he said that it would be a challenge for him to bring Barcelona to be much better. Even though the progress was quite good in four matches in La Liga, he was still not satisfied to further improve the performance of the squad he coached. Well, now we have a coach who at least gives us hope that Barcelona will be better.

Andriy Lunin signs new Real Madrid contract extension until 2028


Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has signed a new three-year contract with the club.
The Athletic previously reported that the Ukraine international, who had one year left on his contract, was expected to stay at the club during the summer transfer window and was close to agreeing a new deal.

He has now signed a new contract with Madrid that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2028.
Madrid and Lunin reached a verbal agreement over a new deal before the end of last season.

However, the 25-year-old had doubts about extending his stay at the Spanish club due to Courtois’ importance and the lack of playing time he might receive as a result.

Lunin joined Madrid from FC Zorya Luhansk in 2018 with a contract until 2024. In 2019, he renewed until 2025 — although the deal was not officially announced by the club.
Source link: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5760291/2024/09/11/real-madrid-andiry-lunin-contract-extension/

I still think he has made the right decision. Because Courtois is 32. So there is a chance that Real Madrid is going to give Lunin a little more playing time in the recent future. And if the main goalkeeper Courtois gets injured, there are going to be a lot of chances for Lunin to show his skill. But again, that’s the catch. He has to wait for the main goalkeeper to be injured for himself to get some good amount of play time or if he does end up leaving, he is not going to find another club like Real Madrid. And even if he does he’s not going to be the striker in that club anyway. So it is better to stay with Real Madrid in my opinion.

There are 2 positive news for the Catalan club this week



1.
Where Gavi presence in the training session is something that Barcelona fans have been waiting for. Considering that he has been absent for quite a long time, it is hoped that he can fully recover and return to strengthen the team. Not only Gavi who was present, Ansu Fati also took part in the training. I think Hansi Flick must continue to monitor the condition of these 2 players and it is estimated that the match against Girona could be a suitable match for Gavi to start back. and

2. Regarding Barcelona financial situation, according to ESPN that Barcelona spending limit has increased and is estimated at €222 million, the core of this situation is that Barcelona can recruit players freely. As we know, Barcelona has experienced restrictions for several seasons due to exceeding the maximum limit starting from salaries, bonuses, etc.
