La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[koang]

Sevilla winning with a red card for me is a big deal, I don't care to know when they got the red card but still winning is a good reason to say they are actually doing great, tho they were having the home advantage and also had a good edge over their opponent, they had a reason to be demoralized at some point.

The first three points for Sevilla this season in La Liga.
Sevilla is lucky to have Jesus Navas, Jesus Navas is something else, he is one of those players that cannot be repeated, he knows what it takes to win.
His fight and perseverance are admirable, every game until he left deserves applause.
I wish he had never left. Fortunately, he retired with glory and title.

By the way, this victory did not dampen the fans' protests against the board, the dissatisfied fan base continues to increase this is a reflection of the fatigue of most fans with the club's poor situation.

Real Madrid is improving their performance with time. Real Madrid have already played five matches out of which they have won three and drawn two. In the current match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, Real Madrid surprisingly conceded two penalties. Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior scored the first penalty in the 58th minute before French striker Kylian Mbappe grabbed another goal in the 75th minute. A 2-0 win in this match saw Real Madrid move to second place in the points table with full points, currently breathing down the neck of arch-rivals Barcelona.

Barcelona have one more match left which is against Girona football team. Barcelona have had a great start to the season recently, winning four matches in a row to match themselves brilliantly. However, Girona is going to be a tough opponent for Barcelona as Barcelona have won twice and Girona twice in their last five appearances.

Real Madrid managed to grab a vital win at Real Sociedad after the referee awarded a penalty after Arda Guler shot hit Sergio Gomez hand and Vinicius' foot was stepped on by a Sociedad player. Real Madrid's two executioners, Vinicius and Mbappe, managed to complete their tasks perfectly, the additional three points made Real Madrid only one point behind Barcelona who are at the top of the standings.

Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​who will play the fifth game at Girona's headquarters, wants to try to erase last season bad record. Winning four matches since the start of the season is a good capital for Barcelona to take revenge because Girona performance this season is not as strong as last season. Hansi Flick has no issues in his squad, which will certainly give Flick room to strategize. Three points are Barcelona target to extend their winning streak while keeping their distance from Real Madrid.

[len01]

After having many considerations from various analysis, I dare to take a big risk betting on Madrid victory -0.75. I am very confident with Madrid even though they lost players who are currently injured, but the appearance of Arda Guler and Mbappe was amazing and impressed me. And Mbappe cooperation with Vinic seems to have close chemistry.
Although this victory resulted from a penalty kick, I am proud of Madrid victory.

BTW, do you believe that Madrid has magic powers?
Real Sociedad almost scored 3 times but the ball always hit the crossbar.

This game will be important, on the one hand for Barcelona, as you say, to boost their confidence and consolidate their position at the top of the league. On the other hand, if Girona lose the match and depending on the results of others, such as Osasuna or Celta de Vigo, Girona could drop down the table and start to think that last year's result was a mirage.

In the previous match, Real Madrid successfully beat Betis with a score of 2-0 and at that time Mbappe scored the goal against Betis. and today of course we have just watched the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad and of course this match in my opinion is a tense match because I see Real Madrid having difficulty taking advantage of opportunities and having difficulty scoring goals against Real Sociedad but fortunately Real Madrid in this match still can win even though the victory was due to a penalty kick and I admire Vinicius junior, he always gives Mbappe good chances and opportunities to score goals like he wants Mbappe to take the penalty kick and I think this is very extraordinary because this shows very good teamwork and not selfish and honestly, I really like Mbappe and Vinicius' celebrations, which are always cool when they score a goal.

Real Madrid team worked hard in this match but they scored only two goals to lead their team to victory. Real Sociedad They attacked a lot in the first half of the game, but unfortunately lost to their luck. A few attacks only hit the goal posts for Real Madrid, in this case Real Madrid were very lucky as both teams' goalkeepers worked hard.  Both the teams have very challenging and hard working players, their performance is very very good. And the goalkeeper of the Real Sociedad team of the game he resisted enough, that's why the only Real Madrid team got success through penalty kick in this match.

The match will be a real test for Barcelona in maintaining its positive performance, so far Hansi Flick still managed to bring Barcelona to the right path because it is the only team in La Liga that has 100% managed to win, Girona last season impressed with their ability to compete with Madrid and Barcelona, so it should be for Barcelona not to underestimate Girona in the the match,  although Girona is in an unstable condition at the moment, they are still able to show an impressive game in the league, especially now that Girona have a big ambition to return to the top 4, besides that currently the problem still befalls Barcelona which indeed cannot be strengthened with some of its mainstay players due to injuries so I think although Barcelona is favored in the match, there is still a possibility if Girona can win points in the match later.

[fuguebtc]

Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona have successfully gone through their first four matches perfectly, they have scored a total of 13 goals and only conceded three goals. This perfect start has seen Barcelona top the standings, four points ahead of their eternal rivals who have only managed two wins and two draws. Barcelona new recruit (Dani Olmo) also performed very well, he immediately showed his class in his first two appearances by always scoring goals.
Matchday five Barcelona will visit Girona headquarters with a mission of revenge for their defeat last season, Barcelona squad is increasingly complete after the return of Gavi and Ansu Fati giving Hansi Flick freedom to formulate a strategy. Of course Hansi Flick will do his best to get maximum results, my prediction is that Barcelona will increase their winning record at Girona headquarters with a score of 1-2.

Barcelona is lucky with manager choices because they had Xavi and he was good too and now right now they are doing fine with Flick as well and I think they will keep doing fine for a long time as well. They are Barcelona after all and it would require more than just a few bad seasons to keep them down. They won once, then last year real won, and this season Barcelona may actually win again.
The reality is that Barcelona is a great team and has a strong foundation so even financial issues will not keep them down for too long, they will probably keep being great all the time. I do not see a period where Real could go for many years in a row without Barcelona getting a few in the middle. Don't get me wrong Real built a great team, but Barcelona will always be ready for trying to win it all.

I must have to say the start that Catalan Giants has had in this season is really good.
Actually, I am expecting them to not throw this good start away.

If you're asking me why I'm most surprised that Lamine Yamal couldn't put his own name in the 7 goals!!
You know how optimistic Hansi Flick is about this wonder kid. He always compares this 17-year-old wonder kid to Messi. Hopefully, he will be able to get a score to his name this Sunday.

If you ask me about Girona, the start from Girona has not been that convincing. where, La Blaugrana is the only team that has been able to win all of the matches in the La Liga season so far.  And yes only four matches have been played. so I understand that it is not like they have achieved something incredible. However, Flick's gang are so much motivated to win the next match, that Flick says he has been eyeing Girona for a year.

Against Girona, I don’t think Barcelona is going to score so many goals like they have done in the last match.
I am expecting the goal difference to be smaller but I am still expecting The Catalan Giants to win.

Jesus Navas has did fantastic goal today because he did a rocket kick from Getafe's left side of the defense and this also became an the only goal in this match although Sevilla only able to win from Getafe with narrow score but this is so important for Sevilla because this is their first winning of this season and it could be very special because Sevilla did that at the front of their fans and the match is not easy for Sevilla especially after Sánchez got the red card on 86 minutes but luckily until the match ended Sevilla can able to managed their performance and they can collect 3 points from this match and this result is make Sevilla position at League table lifted up and avoiding relegation zone

It is true that Real Madrid won this match but their performance in this match is not that satisfactory. We saw that Real Madrid faced Real Sociedad in their fifth match where two penalty kicks helped secure a fortunate win for Real Madrid. Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe gave Real Madrid a 2-0 win at Real Sociedad in La Liga on Saturday. In the field, Real Madrid players tried to put the ball in Real Sociedad's net, but they failed Finally, they went ahead on penalty kicks. By winning the fifth match, Real Madrid has already moved up to second in the standings, and they have a chance to overtake Barcelona to become number one.
Real Madrid's next match is against Espanyol on September 22, That could be an easy match for Real Madrid.

Jesus Navas' goal in the 23rd minute was enough to help Sevilla play more calmly and maintain their lead until the end of the match.
This is quite an important victory for Sevilla to improve the mentality and confidence of this team, but I see quite a lot of shortcomings or problems like last season that have not been resolved, Sevilla should have been able to be at the top but in reality now this team can't be better.

The victory achieved in the 5th match in the early match of this season has made Sevilla now win 5 points and is ranked 12th in the standings.
They really have to get up immediately and this victory can be used as a starting point for them so that Sevilla does not have difficulty getting out of the relegation zone again like last season.

Yamal haven't experienced a serious injury like ACL, still remember Ansu Fati that was predicted to be the next Lionel Messi? now he's gone after ACL injury.

No doubt Yamal looks very promising because he's perform very well than Mbappe, Haaland, Pedri, Gavi and any other great players when they were still 16 years old. But, he's too young and he's prone to suffer serious injury due not matured yet.

[mamesso]

Real Madrid were already very good but in Mbappe's position he took some time to adapt to the team. Mbappe has been excellent in scoring goals in the last two matches and has shown his foot magic which has been truly remarkable as he has managed to score again for Real Madrid.

I think you are giving Mbappe too much credit after scoring three goals in two games, you know, two of those goals were from the penalty spot. I admit, Mbappe is a great player, but currently he has not made a big contribution to Real Madrid because he has not found his best form.

This victory was very important for Real Madrid even though the goal was scored from the penalty spot, but Ancelotti must keep an important note after this match, they did not score a single goal through a series of attacks built during the match. After this, Real Madrid will continue their struggle in the Champions League to face Stuttgart. Ancelotti needs to increase his attacking power to produce goals in order to secure an easy victory.

[tusandii]

Real Betis managed to win in their home match. After 3 matches, Real Betis got their first win and increased their points to 5 after 4 matches. Betis dominated the game, not even giving their opponents a chance to score. The goals came in the second half, but I must say that they played a dominant game in the first half as well.

There is no reason for Real Betis to lose at home against a club that has just been promoted in La Liga this season and if Real Betis does not play optimally it will embarrass them in front of their supporters, therefore Real Betis deployed all their strength in this match so as not to give their opponents the opportunity to create opportunities and also Real Betis played more dominantly controlling the ball as much as 64%.

Real Madrid also won today's match against Real Sociedad thanks to penalties taken by Mbappe and also Vinicius Jr and produced 2 goals for Real Madrid's advantage after that we will watch Barcelona's performance against Girona later if Barcelona wins their match again it is really extraordinary even though Girona is a fairly tough club in this last 2 seasons.

[Inwestour]

Real Madrid were already very good but in Mbappe's position he took some time to adapt to the team. Mbappe has been excellent in scoring goals in the last two matches and has shown his foot magic which has been truly remarkable as he has managed to score again for Real Madrid. The great win we saw against Real Sociedad really shows that Real Madrid will be more motivated and play better in the coming days. Right now Real Madrid is 1 point behind Barcelona but I think they will close this gap soon and Real Madrid will be in the top position. Since Barcelona and Real Madrid are two very strong teams this season, if they follow the best performance of Girona and beat Barcelona, Real Madrid will occupy the top position.

Real Madrid were very lucky several times that Real Sociedad couldn't score, the crossbar saved the team, and several good saves from Courtois. Yes, Mbappe scored several goals, but what's the point if these goals are mostly from penalties, he still scores very little from play. And to win with the help of the referee who appoints two penalties is not a victory in the game, but rather a victory with the help of the referee, Sociedad played no worse and they deserved a draw in this match.

Real Madrid's game change and improvement has led them to win brilliantly against Real Sociedad. However, it has to be admitted that Mbappé and Vinicius both put in outstanding performances in this match as their attacking duo won Real Madrid. Yes I watched the game though and in this match real society attacked a lot in the beginning, but Real Madrid's goalkeeper made a great save which prevented the team from scoring. Anyway, I think Real Madrid's game has changed, and they are back in strong form, and they can be expected to show magic in every game from now on. And since Real Madrid is currently in a good position in the points table, they will definitely work harder to occupy the top position.

Now Ancelotti's troops have won 11 points and managed to sit in 2nd place in the standings and of course in the next match in Laliga Real Madrid will play against Espanyol and of course I predict that in that match Real Madrid will have great potential to win that match and I don't think I have any doubts anymore. In that match (Real Madrid against Espanyol) I will bet on Real Madrid winning. But of course Ancelotti has to improve Real Madrid even more because of course I saw during Espanyol's last match against Alaves I saw Espanyol playing well. But of course, no matter what, I still predict that Real Madrid will definitely win that match. What do you think, do you want to bet on Real Madrid winning the next time Real Madrid plays Espanyol in Laliga?

A bad game, good score. I have nothing to complain about Real Madrid's results in this game. They scored two goals from two penalties. But i have a lot to complain about their performance. They played so awfully in this game. That is also the worst performance i have ever seen. They were unable to score from open play.

There is a serious disconnect in the buildup. This is because our midfield disappeared after we lost Kroos. I knew losing Kroos would hurt us. He was our general on the pitch. But I never expected it to be worse than I had predicted. Our mid is getting exposed without Kroos. We miss it all, the build-up, tempo, and line-breaking passes. And everything that came from Kroos.

I'm very pessimistic we can get same result as last season.

[Belarge]

Real Madrid were very lucky several times that Real Sociedad couldn't score, the crossbar saved the team, and several good saves from Courtois.

La Liga becoming unpredictable in the last few weeks and I must say, it's huge tense momentum for everyone. A draw was deserved for Sociedad but denied by Madrid because winning was priority. Real Sociedad was hard knot to crack for Real Madrid following their defensive tactics but didn't go through. Real Madrid stepping up on their game because they're weigh back compared to their outstanding performance last season. Taking closer watch to performance against oppositions, weaknesses in the squad is spotted and mostly in the attacking line and defendlines. The coach should focused more on exploring options for the betterment of the club.

Real Sociedad played well but luck was not on their side. They played shots towards the goal but it bounced from the goal bar. Finally they conceded two goals via penalty shootout. If Real Madrid couldn't scored two goals on penalties, the result of this match could have ended with a draw. However, Mbappe of Real Madrid is in good form now. After joining the club, when he kept 3 clean sheets in a row, the pressure on him increased but now he has been able to fully adapt himself to the team. Their gap with Barcelona is not much at the moment but with only 1 point less, Real Madrid is in 2nd position of the points table. But Barcelona can widen the gap again when they win against Girona today. Win is not guaranteed but the chance is high.

Frankly, I didn't like Real Madrid against Real Sociedad. If Real Sociedad had been a little bit lucky, they would have won the match. Three of their balls hit the post. This was a big misfortune for them. If all three of them had scored, they would have won the match 3-2. But unfortunately, all three balls hit the post. Real Madrid needs to play better in the Champions League matches. Because there are stronger teams there. In yesterday's match, the opponent couldn't convert those chances into goals, but in the Champions League, opponents don't forgive such chances.

[Fiatless]

Yes, Mbappe scored several goals, but what's the point if these goals are mostly from penalties, he still scores very little from play. And to win with the help of the referee who appoints two penalties is not a victory in the game, but rather a victory with the help of the referee; Sociedad played no worse, and they deserved a draw in this match.

Real Madrid was just lucky, they would have lost points in this game. Three shots from Real Sociedad hit the crossbar. If those balls entered the net, Madrid would have found it difficult to win the game. The second penalty wasn't clear, so I think the officials favoured Madrid.

I think you are giving Mbappe too much credit after scoring three goals in two games, you know, two of those goals were from the penalty spot. I admit, Mbappe is a great player, but currently he has not made a big contribution to Real Madrid because he has not found his best form.

Football fans expected so much from Mbappe, maybe we are expecting him to score in every game. The striker needs time to get used to the La Liga. Scoring penalties is not as easy as you think. It needs confidence and tact, so he should be credited for scoring wonderful three goals in three games.
