La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Hyphen(-)]

Firing has lost again to Valencia, this is their fourth defeat in a row because Valencia defeated Girona last season despite their great performance last season, and today they defeated them 2-0 at home.

This is Girona’s third defeat in the Laliga campaign this season, they are not performing well to their last season’s standard. What is actually wrong? Is it because they didn’t sign good players and they gave out one of their best player to Manchester City or it’s just a game, because their performance has dropped which is cool to say that they lose form this season.

Soon, the home match between Real Madrid and Espanyol will be played. There is no denying that Real Madrid are favorites to win at home, but Espanyol cannot be underestimated. Both teams have released their first 11 players for this match, but I get Vinicius being benched by Ancelotti and preferring to play Arda Guler as a starter.

Rodrygo, Bellingham, Arda Guler and Mbappe fill the attack line in this match, it is quite convincing and El Real can probably win this match. On the other hand, Espanyol will probably play defensive football where they can try to avoid defeat. But in fact, defending against Real Madrid is never really effective, conceding goals is still possible because of the high pressure.

Madrid should comfortably win this match without any problem because Real Madrid defeated Espanyol in their last three matches, and this season, I think it will be another defeat because Real Madrid cannot afford dropping any point because Barcelona is leading them with four points difference. If they win this match, they will close some gap to reduce the points difference to one point before Barcelona will play their game tomorrow against Villarreal away from home. Madrid need to use any opportunity that come their way to close the gap because Hensi Flick don’t look like a manager that will
Drop points anytime soon especially as they suffered defeat in their Champions League opening match against Monaco.

The match that will take place between Real Madrid and Espanyol can be exciting, because I think Real Madrid will start their career to overtake Atletico and Barcelona's rankings, besides that, Real Madrid's chances of winning are greater with this they can overtake Atletico if they can win this match, I also think that with the long season, Real Madrid still has a chance to be at the top of the standings, with as far as I know Real Madrid is undoubtedly in their performance, maybe they can catch up to the top ranking in the middle of the season.
I might bet on Real Madrid who do have a greater chance of winning, but that is not certain because no one knows what will happen because the ball is round so even though Real Madrid has good performance, it doesn't mean they can't be defeated. I will wait for the final result.

The defeat to Monaco was certainly a heavy blow for Barcelona, ​​​​and with this defeat should be a moment for them to be able to rise immediately. But even though there are still 7 more matches, it is not easy because Barcelona have to fight other great teams such as Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Atalanta. This is not an easy opponent, optimism is needed but Flick must immediately make improvements so as not to make mistakes again so as not to experience another defeat.

I'm sure Barcelona still can continue to the next round. Although there are some difficult matches (against Bayern Munich and Dortmund)), they have also easy matches (against Young Boys, Crvena Zvezda and Brest). At least Barcelona can get points in these matches. I believe Barcelona also will win against Benfica and Atalanta. So, Barcelona can win in 5 matches at least. Even if Barcelona won't finish in the top 8, I think it is enough to make them to go to play-off round. Well, I'm also still optimistic that Barcelona to go far in UCL.

Barcelona's next opponent is Villareal, this is very interesting and of course highly anticipated in the La Liga journey. Villareal cannot be underestimated because they are currently in fourth place in the standings. Of course Villareal in this match has high motivation after very good results in their last few matches. Villarreal managed to win 11 points from the first five matches of this season, with three wins and two draws of course this is very good capital to face Barcelona.

In La Liga, Barcelona performs well. Villareal may show good performances lately but I think Barcelona should win the match if we consider the squad quality. Sure, Barcelona can't underestimate Villareal, they aren't a weak team and the match will be at their home. However, it looks like Villareal still can't stop Barcelona from collecting full points in the next match. So, I personally believe Barcelona to win the match.

One loss doesn't mean much when all teams have seven games left - and neither does one win. A team losing their first game doesn't necessarily mean they're out of the next round - and a team winning their first game isn't guaranteed to make it to the last 16. Barcelona have a chance to progress to the next round if they can pick up more points in their next seven games - but if they drop more points then a second chance could help via the playoffs.

But forget about Barcelona's Champions League defeat for a moment - now we have a great match between Real Madrid and Espanyol. It was a great match - but Madrid dominated it, which is normal given their squad depth. Mbappe almost scored - but Joan García saved it. Madrid are very likely to win - but they are also can lose if they fail to defend well.

However, it looks like Villareal still can't stop Barcelona from collecting full points in the next match. So, I personally believe Barcelona to win the match.

Villarreal vs Barcelona matches in La Liga are always very competitive. Barcelona team won all their matches. Villarreal team is also in good form. Villarreal have not lost a match yet. The team has earned 11 points in 5 matches. As the Villarreal team is also in very good form, Barcelona vs Villarreal match is likely to be very competitive. Moreover, it is Villarreal's home match. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to get full points against Villarreal.

Barcelona lost their last match at home against Villarreal 5-3. Barcelona will definitely want to avenge the previous defeat this season. But this team is strong. If Barcelona want to win this match, the defenders must play better.

I might bet on Real Madrid who do have a greater chance of winning, but that is not certain because no one knows what will happen because the ball is round so even though Real Madrid has good performance, it doesn't mean they can't be defeated. I will wait for the final result.

Odds for Madrid 1.18, not very profitable for a bet. The bookie sees Madrid's high chances of winning, so they don't give good odds.
Madrid is currently very dominant with 80% Possession. Many opportunities have been created but until the 35th minute, they have not scored a goal. If the situation continues like this, it's only a matter of time before Madrid scores.
H2H between the two teams is very good for Madrid. In their last 3 matches, they have always won against Espanyol, even with 3 or more goals.

Girona have lost their way really. For once I thought they were going to recover after they got 2 wins. But they started to lose again and again.  

Even losing to Valencia is a disgrace for them I'm afraid. Because Valencia have normally been the worst performing team which you can understand from their being at the bottom of the standings too.

Madrid should comfortably win this match without any problem because Real Madrid defeated Espanyol in their last three matches, and this season, I think it will be another defeat because Real Madrid cannot afford dropping any point because Barcelona is leading them with four points difference. If they win this match, they will close some gap to reduce the points difference to one point before Barcelona will play their game tomorrow against Villarreal away from home. Madrid need to use any opportunity that come their way to close the gap because Hensi Flick don’t look like a manager that will
Drop points anytime soon especially as they suffered defeat in their Champions League opening match against Monaco.

Real Madrid are in complete control. They have given near zero chance to Espanyol while making difficulties for their opponent a lot at the same time. But it is still 0-0...

Arda Güler is in the starting lineup tonight and he is on the right wing. Interestingly Vinicius Junior is in the subs. Anyways, so far Arda is one of the best in the attacking line together with Bellingham. But Mbappe is ineffective. I still think they will win though.

The first half of the match has ended and Real Madrid could not score a goal in the first half. The second half will probably be very different. I think Ancelotti can change a few players. Mbappé did not take advantage of a clear opportunity in the first half. Real Madrid cannot afford to lose points in the Spanish league right now. Because they have lost critical points before.

Madrid are very likely to win - but they are also can lose if they fail to defend well.

Real Madrid might see it as a chance to close the gap between them and Barcelona in standings, as Barcelona is considered in a weak position now after losing their first UCL match against Monaco and playing next against Villarrea. This last one playing in their stadium with a slight better chance to win or at least draw. However, Barcelona still have more chances, stronger team and more motivation to stay in top of standings.

Honestly, I find it hard to follow such matches with the odds given, which are very low for stronger teams and taking this match for instance between Real Madrid against Espanyol, the odds are not going higher than @1.15 for the white house. Risky bettors may find it a good chance to bet for low expected teams to win as the odds go crazy for them, do you find any fun to bet risky against the lower odds and with a very slight chance to win big if any surprises happened.

It is only natural that Madrid will be favorites against a team like Espanyol. Espanyol is not a strong team in La Liga. The match will also be held at the Bernabeu. So we consider the Madrid team as the favorite.

However, Espanyol have performed well in their last three matches. Atlético shared the points with Madrid. Espanyol won against Rayo Vallecano and ALaves. Therefore, Espanyol players will try their best to score points against Madrid. And in the last few matches I have seen the overall performance of Espanyol's players is quite stable.

Madrid players could not score any goals in the first half against Espanyol. Madrid players dominated the match with 77% ball possession. At the same time, they can't break Espanyol's defense even if they attack a lot. Espanyol's defenders and goalkeepers are performing very well today.

But it is again kind of shocking that Real Madrid cannot seal the deal early in the game. It is halftime and no goals scored in the game. I ask myself all the time how it is possible that Real Madrid with that offensive power I scoring about 1.5 goals per game only. Even in their home stadium now it was not possible for them to take the lead I the first half.

I am sure that all the Madridistas were expecting much more from the transfer of Mbappe. But so far Vinicius Junior and Mbappe couldn't find the perfect connection. Maybe it still takes some time, but both are superstars and shouldn't need half a season to get along with each other on the pitch.

You are definitely right because Real Madrid are actually playing an incredible performance on the pitch, although it is already halftime and still there is no goal. But I have no panic because I know Real Madrid always likes to finish the game, and Espanyol is not up to the standard of Real Madrid in performance and even experience, and I am sure today if Real Madrid were not going to maintain the first in the table after the end of this game, then I think they will maintain the position of Atletico Madrid.
 
Because I don’t think Espanyol will have a chance to win this game if not for a great miracle because for a complete first half they were not able to have a single shot on target, so I think even if you are to bet Real Madrid to win, you have nothing to be boarded of.

The odd is too small and real madrid can't win the game since from the first half, since the season that Real madrid as not score goal from the first half of all games in the league this season,  Real Madrid as be dominating the the game but they have not get into the penalty box Mbappe as be trying to score but he as not succeed yet let see how the second half will be, am sure Real Madrid will definitely try there best in the second half and win the match and continue chasing Barcelona in the league table, Ancelotti still strongly on is information every time madrid usually strongly to win there all matches in the league,  but the best thing is to win the game and get the three point. Espanyol are defending well and madrid are just winning the possession but not getting into the box. If madrid didn't win the match and end draw in the game he will be a sham to the fans and Ancelotti, because  Espanyol are not in good form and madrid as all the players to win this game tonight.

Espanyol took the lead at the Bernabeu. Jofre Carreras scored a wonderful goal in the 53rd minute of the match. However, the goal was due to a mistake by Madrid goalkeeper Courtois.

However, Madrid's players managed to dominate the match, but Madrid are currently trailing 1-0. Ancelotti considered likely opponents Espanyol to be a weak side. This is why he did not include Vini in his starting XI for this match. Madrid's attack was Rodrygo-Mbappe-Guler. However, Ancelotti dropped Vini after conceding the goal. Hopefully the Real Madrid team will be able to return to parity in the match very quickly.

What a mess as Courtoris gave Espanyol the lead with an own goal after a cross made by an Espanyol player Jofre Carreras  on the 54th minutes of the game.

I hope that Real Madrid will be able to equalize the goal and if possible win this match but it will be a difficult task for them because of their incomplete players. It is Real Madrid 0-1 Espanyol.

We rarely see such mistakes from Courtois, especially scoring against his own team in a moment where Real Madrid was doing great and getting closer to score and dominate in all sides. Luckily, Carvajal scored the drawing goal just 3 minutes after that to start over for this squad who seems to have hard times to use all the skilled talent and play as a strong team. I personally saw many defensive mistakes from the white house without any valid reason? In such matches losing points isn’t a choice for them and leave more gaps between the first place in LaLiga.

I was about to make a bet for Real Madrid in this timing with reasonable Odds, but after watching two mistakes from Real Madrid defense, that really made me rethink about it. Well, I hope I’m wrong about it and they can win the 3 points today.

We don't usually see that kind of mistake from Courtois. Madrid were a bit unlucky so they conceded the first goal. However, after conceding the goal, Madrid's attack speed increased. Madrid are playing well after conceding this goal. And right now the Real Madrid team is leading by 3-1.

Carvajal scored the first goal for Madrid. Even after the match was equalized, Madrid did not slow down their attack. And two consecutive counters scored it ROdrygo and Vini. Madrid scored their second goal in the 75th minute and Vinicius gave Madrid a 3–1 lead in the 78th minute. The Real Madrid team will probably win the match with a margin of 3-1.

It is 3-1 now in favor of the host as Vini came from the bench to turn things around for Real Madrid. What a super sub he is. Ancelotti underestimated Espanyol but after he saw his mistakes, when Espanyol scored their first goal, he immediately brought in Vini who didn't disappoint him.

Vini was able to make an assist for the second goal to Rodrigo who easily find thd back of thd net with a fantastic finish. Vini scored the third goal within three minutes after he received an assit from Mbappe. What a genius Vini is. Real Madrid have gotten all three points in today's match.

[FanEagle]

There are seasons when teams have to pay debt to open up a room for the future. Barcelona doesn't do it for example, they just keep selling stuff again and again and even their future income, just so they could keep being strong. Sevilla basically decided to just focus on getting rid of the debt and the issues and that would be something that will be getting a good future for them.

This should not be all that hard to handle and it will definitely make it better for them and it would be working something like maybe in five years they would be much stronger on the long term. This should be something that will get a good thing for them if they do it right because it is not going to be easy at all for it to work but they can make it work for the long term without a doubt.

The game is now 4-1 in favor of Real Madrid with Mbappe scoring his fourth goal in the La Liga. Real Madrid keep their record of unbeaten run going after Espanyol scored the first goal that looked to trigger these Real Madrid players. Good three points for Real Madrid, and quite painful for Espanyol that kept the competition going until the 70th minute where Real Madrid started to find a way through. Real Madrid are improving and played more like a team than in their last games, this is the kind of performance that is expected of a team determined to remain La Liga champions.
