La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Dailyscript]

~~

I even see the depth of Real Madrid's squad this season is quite good between the main players and the reserve players so that the problem of player rotation will not actually be an obstacle for Real Madrid to continue to perform well in any competition including in the UCL this season. But Real Madrid still has to hope for the recovery of several players who are still injured because almost all players become more important this season after each team that enters the UCL has to undergo a new format with very different conditions.

We all agree with that, Madrid is a team that is truly filled with players who have above average quality. Don Carlo can play the players he wants according to their performance, after all they have players that are almost evenly distributed based on the quality of both regular players and second reserves. as for some injured players will soon rejoin the main squad, some of them are Bellingham, Camavinga who in a few weeks we can see will return to the field. but some of them seem to need more time to return to the main team, Tchouameni, Caballos and Alaba and for some others their status is still in doubt. what concerns me is Real Madrid's defense line, with the absence of several injured players can have an impact on their performance in the defense line. besides that the tight schedule is very draining energy, yes as I said in the previous post. maybe for now it's not a problem for Madrid, but in the long term it could be a problem. I mean, if some Madrid defenders have to be absent longer.

You're right here. With the absence of seven Real Madrid starters that are on injury, especially the defenders who are really needed this period and in the match against Real Sociedad I feel Real Madrid will have a very tough time winning against Real Sociedad. Right now Ancelotti needs Vinicius, Mbape, and Rodrygo to sync now more than ever. They must show that chemistry if they want to win that match. If they lose against Real Sociedad, the gap between them and Barcelona will be no more. If they want to keep that gap they need to be strong that day.

Real Betis vs Leganés

Real Betis (predicted lineup): Rui Silva, Youssouf Sabaly, Diego Llorente, Natan, Romain Perraud, Marc Roca, William Carvalho, Aitor Ruibal, Pablo Fornals, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, Vitor Roque.

Leganés (predicted lineup): Juan Soriano, Jorge Saenz, Sergio Gonzalez, Javier Hernandez, Valentin Rosier, Enric Franquesa, Darko Brasanac, Yvan Neyou Noupa, Oscar Rodriguez, Juan Cruz, Sebastien Haller.

Welcome back Laliga with an amazing things starting with Real Betis vs Leganés tonight, Real Betis had only three matches before the international break and Leganés four games, Leganés just came out of the relegation but their performance hasn't look nice but I will give them the benefit of doubt that they are just new and again the second is still fresh, let see what they have for tonight.

The good news for Barcelona is about their player, Gavi. this player was out for a long time but now it seems he is getting ready to play in the field for his team.
Gavi of an effective player for Barcelona and he had a good performance in this team. We were expecting to see him out of the field for 12 months, now 10 months passed and he is ready to train with other players which can be a great step forward for this player to get back into good form again.
Gavi got injured in the last season while playing for Spain and he was out for 290 days. [...]

Based on Barca Blaugranes ^[1], Gavi would return to the field in October or November, it said that Barcelona don't want to rush gavi back. I believe that there are many Barcelona fans really wanted to see him back to the field again. So, i agree that this is a really good news, not only for Barcelona team but also for fans.

Real Betis' performance was really bad at the start of this season, while Leganes has collected from 4 matches. I think that Real Betis will get their first win today considering that previously they only got 1 point in 3 matches. It would be a shame if Real Betis dropped any more points today as they play at home, but I feel that Betis can be expected to win.

I don't know what you expect from Leganes, but they are still better than Real Betis. Both teams have the potential to get maximum points, but I just give Real Betis more of an advantage because they are playing at home. Home advantage is important for them, so it should be utilized perfectly to get their first win at the start of this season.

[bitgolden]

This week looks like it's easy week for big clubs, we can never know of course what will happen, but they should get some wins. Real Madrid will be facing off against Real Sociedad, which they should be winning if all goes according to plan and they look much better, betting on them to win looks like an easy bet.

We also have Barcelona going against Girona, which I know looked closer last season, but this season Barcelona is much better and could win that one easily, and then we also have Athletico Madrid going against Valencia, which they should be getting a win from as well. In fact, I think Bilbao should be able to beat Las Palmas as well, that looks like a game they can win .When you combine all these games into a single parlay, with either bilbao in or out, then you will see that the odds are not that bad at all.

We should definitely consider this as a good bet, doesn't mean we will win it, shocking results could happen, but it looks like a good bet all together. There are moments like this when all the big clubs meet against weaker teams, and it's always good to take advantage of those weeks, while it could still be a loss bet, it is one that is definitely looking like a good one.

If they lose against Real Sociedad, the gap between them and Barcelona will be no more. If they want to keep that gap they need to be strong that day.

I don't think Real Madrid has much to panic about in my own opinion given that Real Sociedad are also lacking some of their players to injuries too. Brais Mendez and Hamaris Traore are definitely going to miss out on tomorrow's match, Odriozola, Elustondo and Zakharyan of the Real Sociedad also in doubt of either playing or missing the match, likewise Mikel Oyarzabal who suffered from an ankle sprain injury during his duty in Spain. Although for Oyarzabal, he was spotted at a training this week, which is most likely to see him at the pitch in their game with Real Madrid.

Ancelotti still have Luka Modrich to work with Valverde at the centre in placement of Camavinga and Tchouameni who will both be absent, although Tchouameni was also sighted at the training earlier. The presence of Bellingham is still much doubted as Ancelotti might want to reserve him for the Champions league game instead while Diaz Brahim will be used to replace him.

I see tomorrow's match as a win for the Real Madrid side due to the experience that the guy have garnered over the years and his familiarity with the club and the La Liga league. I respect Ancelotti for his ability to manage players and reserve back ups for times like this. One may likely say that Ancelotti is in tight corner considering that they will be meeting at the Real Sociedad'z's home, nonetheless, they are appearing there well prepared to make a win so as to close more gaps between them and the Barcelona club.

After International break, La Liga game week 5 of 38 will begin today and the the opening match between Real Betis vs Leganes, some teams have bad news after international break exactly for Real Madrid have loss their defender Eder Militao around two weeks later after getting injury. Its bad news for Madrid because they have many players previously got injured and left one defender only right now with Antonio Rudiger not injury yet and make Carlo Ancelotti confusing who will be his partner for central defender position.

Real Madrid will play early on game week 5 against Real Sociedad than Barcelona have away match against Girona, looking the current standings Barcelona become the only one team keep the 100% winning ratio and have opportunity keep defend the winning trend until five consecutives matches.

That's right, that's great news for all Barcelona fans. Gavi has shown his face again in training sessions a few days ago and he took part with all his teammates. His injury recovery took quite a long time and he has been out for a long time, but now fresh air can be expected because it is possible that he will return to the squad after the medical team gave him the green light to play. Hansi Flick certainly won't be in a rush to play Gavi in ​​the next match, of course that is the best choice so that Gavi doesn't get a recurrence of injury.

Ronald Araujo is reportedly still injured at this time and I don't know when he will return. Reportedly he is on the road to recovery and I hope everything goes smoothly for him. If Gavi and Araujo return to play, Barcelona will likely be even stronger and Flick as coach certainly has many options in defense and midfield.

A former Barcelona player will go to take over when Barcelona are in a bad situation. After Xavi took over, Barcelona's fortunes gradually changed and Barcelona won the La Liga title in the 2022–23 season. However, in the following season they failed to win the La Liga title and Real Madrid won the title by a big margin that season. However, after the end of the 2023-24 season, it is rumored that Barcelona are going to sack their manager Xavi.  

Many people criticized this action of Barcelona and Barcelona started a new season with this criticism. But at the start of the season, Barcelona have been playing the right tactics and are in the right positions so far. If everything goes well then the fans will consider this decision of Barcelona as correct but if for some reason the result goes against and Barcelona has a bad result compared to last season then the management and manager will be criticized by action based media and football lovers.

Well, that’s how it should be right? I understand that you never listen to the fans when it comes to making decisions. Because even if you listen to the fans and make the decisions that they like, and if it fails, they are still going to blame you for that. So make the right decisions at every given time. Just like everything else, not every decision is actually going to work out. And you have to accept that fact.

I just think that it was unfair towards Xavi that just after not performing well enough to win another La Liga title, they fired him. Could have given him more time. But if the new coach is able to bring in results consistently, I guess it’s right. I think people should remember that Xavi was fired because he was unable to pay in the title. So is the same criteria that the new coach will have to fill?

Its bad news for Madrid because they have many players previously got injured and left one defender only right now with Antonio Rudiger not injury yet and make Carlo Ancelotti confusing who will be his partner for central defender position.

Real Madrid will play early on game week 5 against Real Sociedad than Barcelona have away match against Girona, looking the current standings Barcelona become the only one team keep the 100% winning ratio and have opportunity keep defend the winning trend until five consecutives matches.

The first half of the Real Betis versus Leganes match has finished, the score is still tied at 0-0. Looking at the course of the match, it seems that Manuel Pellegrini squad can secure full points today, let's see how the second half will go.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid, who are currently being hit by a storm of injuries, will face Real Sociedad, but I don't think Ancelotti squad will lose points. On paper, Mbappe and his colleagues are very worthy favorites to win. Ancelotti has rotation options that can be relied on, so I don't think there is any excessive worry about them.
On the other hand, Barcelona is performing well, Hansi Flick seems to be able to lead his squad to take revenge on Girona, where last season Girona was able to beat them in two meetings. It must be admitted, so far and maybe in the future Barcelona will be able to maintain this impressive performance.

Andriy Lunin extended his contract with Real Madrid and now it seems Real Madrid finally found their stable goalkeeper after all the challenging times they had so far in this team.
The contract of this goalkeeper was about to expire in 2025 and since he wanted to be in the first squad there was the chance for him to leave but now since he extended his contract with Real Madrid, we are sure that Andriy Lunin is not going to leave anytime soon.
Even his competitor in Real Madrid, Kepa Arrizabalaga left the team.

You forgot to write that this was a rather unusual contract extension - now Lunin, along with Endrik, has the longest contract with Real - until 2030. Courtois has a contract until 2026. Apparently, in the long term, Real chooses Lunin. But in any case, given the density of the calendar, both goalkeepers will have game practice.

If they lose against Real Sociedad, the gap between them and Barcelona will be no more. If they want to keep that gap they need to be strong that day.

Some of Real Madrid's key players will be absent due to injury, and this will affect the team's performance. Obviously, they will not perform as they have been doing it before. With this, Real Sociedad are going to have a little chance of getting this match not too tough, but aside from that, Real Madrid will not lose this match. Their mentality of winning is still with the remaining players that will play the match, and I’m very sure they will do everything to secure the point because of their gap in the table.

Well, that’s how it should be right? I understand that you never listen to the fans when it comes to making decisions. Because even if you listen to the fans and make the decisions that they like, and if it fails, they are still going to blame you for that. So make the right decisions at every given time. Just like everything else, not every decision is actually going to work out. And you have to accept that fact.

Actually, when it comes to football their many says that you as a manager you won’t listen to because any decision that went wrong you will be the one to blame, fans think everything they said is always right thing to do, and sometimes it won’t workout because they only watch how it goe, they are not the one doing the task. and they think everything they want will be something easy and right to do at the right time which is not so.

The fans need quick result from every changes that is made,  and this things are all challenges that managers need  to overlook and do the right thing for the squad.

Real Madrid did not start the season in a very good performance having seven regular starters injured is going to affect the performance of the team because despite winning comfortably in their last match they haven't played like the team they are known for during the previous season.

Playing against Real Sociedad is not going to be an easy game and since they are playing from away they need to find a perfect way to combine their attacking force so that Vinicius junior and Mbappe can have a good combination that will produce goals for the Real Madrid team. Ancelotti can't afford to lose the game unless he will be ready to keep chasing Barcelona who is already topping the league with 4 points with Real Madrid sitting second in the league table.

Real Madrid injuries looks average, the players will some get back on their feet to come and support their own but how come Real Madrid are having hard time to play Witt the rest of the Squad. Didn't they have Mbape they claim will revolutionize Spain football the way he was doing in France, seems the magic is poor. Bellingham looks better in my book than Vinicious and Mbape combine, Vinicious might be a winger and long time in Real Madrid but Bellingham will do better with time.

I'm not sure if Real Sociedad are going to win Real Madrid even though it's an away match, Sociedad has played two home match so far since the Laliga tournament has started but they couldn't win even one and you think Real Madrid are the ones that will lose this time, there squad doesn't really looks that bad despite the injuries, they can take them by the horn and beside, they have long history of killing Sociedad many times.

But it could be an unpredictable situation. We know that sometimes Ancelotii has unpredictable schemes and the fact that they turned Tchouameni and Camaving into defenders last season is proof that Ancelotti always has an unpredictable way of making his clubs perform well despite injuries.

It is undeniable that this match will be a bit suolit especially Sociedad is one of the dark horse clubs which in recent seasons has been quite troublesome. But in the end, Madrid's strength is still far superior even though their players are injured in today's match and I am still quite optimistic about 3 points for now even though Ancelotti cannot appear with their full strength.

Due to the intense match schedule, especially the big teams are forced to use their reserve goalkeepers and players. Real Madrid has secured its goalkeeper by extending the contract of one of its trusted goalkeepers. If Andriy Lunin was not liked, his contract would not have been extended for this long. Real Madrid is not taking any risks regarding the contract.

If Andriy Lunin performs well in the matches he is on the field, his chances of being in the first 11 will increase. Real Madrid extended Lunin's contract and closed the goalkeeper transfer window for a long time.

But in the end, Madrid's strength is still far superior even though their players are injured in today's match and I am still quite optimistic about 3 points for now even though Ancelotti cannot appear with their full strength.

True, Sociedad has always been a stumbling block in recent seasons, because they can always appear quite optimal and are in the top standings because of the slick performance they always show, especially in this match they will play home, which makes this clearly more difficult for Madrid.
However, I quite agree with what you said in this case where Madrid is still very capable of getting 3 points and they have to do that for now.
At the beginning of the season they were criticized even though they haven't lost yet but the draws they've had have sometimes made it look bad to some people and for the next match Madrid certainly have to show that they are indeed the best club in La Liga and 3 points is something they have to force in this match.

Real Betis vs Leganés

Real Betis (predicted lineup): Rui Silva, Youssouf Sabaly, Diego Llorente, Natan, Romain Perraud, Marc Roca, William Carvalho, Aitor Ruibal, Pablo Fornals, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, Vitor Roque.

Leganés (predicted lineup): Juan Soriano, Jorge Saenz, Sergio Gonzalez, Javier Hernandez, Valentin Rosier, Enric Franquesa, Darko Brasanac, Yvan Neyou Noupa, Oscar Rodriguez, Juan Cruz, Sebastien Haller.

Welcome back Laliga with an amazing things starting with Real Betis vs Leganés tonight, Real Betis had only three matches before the international break and Leganés four games, Leganés just came out of the relegation but their performance hasn't look nice but I will give them the benefit of doubt that they are just new and again the second is still fresh, let see what they have for tonight.

Real Betis won this match with a final score of 2-0. Leganes couldn't do much when Abde Ezzalzouli and Vitor Roque scored goals. This was Vitor Roque's first goal with Real Betis in 2 appearances, certainly good for him as a player on loan. Roque's is still a Barcelona player, but because Barcelona had to reduce places to register other players, Roque's was loaned out.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will both visit their opponents' stadiums in Girona and Sociedad. Barcelona must maintain its good performance after 4 consecutive wins, while Real Madrid is also fighting hard to maintain its performance to stay close to second place. If Barcelona loses, it will be easier for Madrid to reduce the points gap between the two, but I think this time Barcelona will not lose to Girona.

The good news: Gavi joins part of training

Following a day off on Wednesday, it was back to work for the FC Barcelona squad on Thursday with the biggest highlight being the presence of Gavi, who underwent cruciate ligament surgery last November and has also been carrying a meniscus injury sustained while on duty for Spain.

The midfielder has gone through nine arduous months of hard work to get back in condition to play, and today he was finally able to join in with some of the group exercises. Ansu Fati, also recovering from a fitness issue, was able to do likewise.

Thursday was also the first day with all of the players that have been on international duty back under the orders of Hansi Flick. Guillermo and Olmedo of Barça Atlètic also took part, with the focus being the derby away to Girona next Sunday at 4.15pm CEST.

[Obim34]

Barcelona form this season was really surprising, not everyone expected Barcelona to be this good, even going heads up against Madrid to hold the top position in the La Liga table while Madrid cling on second position. Barcelona are opportune that Madrid drew two of their four games which separated both with considerable numbers of points and goal difference aswell. These should be a good motivation for Flick to keep the teams performance consistent and even better because definitely Madrid are getting better and we may not see them loose/draw as much games to drop points, in some weeks, some injured players will be back on the pitch and teams performance will be great.

Barcelona are being pulled by the hair by Robert Lewandowski, this player is truly a phenomenon: as a footballer, as a person and as a driving force.
In addition to being good, he has taken Barcelona by the hand and is taking it forward.
I would say that he is doing better than the famous Mbappe. My opinion

Lewandowski is truly phenomenon as in your terms, a player that has the potentials of a complete striker, matured and experience on the pitch only that his age is playing less impact on his maximum performance, even at that, he can still option himself as one great contributor to his team.

Comparing Lewandowski and Mbappe, both are world class players with relative importance to their respective clubs and countries but on the contrary, Lewandowski has this ability to nurture the game and understand that he should not just alone rely on his agility or ability but that is the case to Mbappe, having the ability but lacks team play. Just saying, if it was Lewandowski now in Madrid, possibly we may see a good achievement from this striker.

Just saying, if it was Lewandowski now in Madrid, possibly we may see a good achievement from this striker.

But isn't it too early to start judging Mbappe performance for Real Madrid, he hasn't played that many games to judge him. He has already helped them to win a trophy just few weeks in the club. We shouldn't be comparing Lewandowski to Mbappe, they're both strikers but Lewandowski has more experience and has won more trophies than mbappe. they're also playing in a different club with different playing style. Mbappe has more pressures to perform than Lewandowski has that's why he wants to be the players scoring so he can be worth all the attention. Mbappe has to be selfish sometimes or he can't be the main man at the club.
