La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Hirose UK]

I don't know what happened to Atletico Madrid today who failed to win the match against Rayo, previously Atletico Madrid always won when facing Rayo and even last season they beat Rayo convincingly with 7 goal and the last meeting also showed Atletico Madrid won with score of 2 - 1.
Several opportunities were actually obtained by Atletico Madrid but they failed to take advantage of all these opportunities into goal, previously they won over Bilbao and also Valencia until they added victory over Leipzig for UCL but today they couldn't maintain the victory.
I lost bet in multi-bet for the La Liga match, Bilbao has won and Barcelona is also the same as expected but Atletico Madrid made everything mess.

Barcelona's 100% start to the season brought to a disappointing end last midweek after they traveled France to play against Monaco in their first UEFA Champions League game of the season and that brought many criticisms to the team. Some persons were of the opinion that despite Barcelona's previous results before the game, they do not have all it takes to win in big matches. In their response to the critics today, the Spanish La Liga league leaders delivered another scintillating performance against Villarreal to continue to their impressive performance in the league. My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

This reflects how strong Barcelona are now, for Villarreal this is the first defeat in La Liga and especially this is a defeat at home, where these guys are very strong, but even they conceded 5 goals from Barcelona. It seems that Barcelona are doing great in La Liga, now they have to do the same thing a few times in the Champions League to get some points, although I have no doubt that for them to reach the playoffs will be an easy task, and the defeat to Monaco is an accident. The next games will be with Getafe and Osasuna, I think these should be easy wins, and then the match with Young Boys in the Champions League, I expect Barcelona to score at least 4 goals in this match.

[SmartCharpa]

If they were down to 10 players in the Monaco match, they would probably have beaten Monaco. Barcelona Team is a goal machine. Lewandowski was going to make a treble today, but he could not convert the penalty kick into a goal in the 67th minute. He was nevertheless named player of the match.
It looks like Barça will have a high-scoring season compared to last year.
He could break the goalscoring record this season.
He will play against Young Boys at home on October 1st and I expect a lot of goals in this match. There will be at least 6-7 goals.

Barcelona is performing better than predicted this season, scoring 22 goals in 6 La Liga games, which was surprising, the team has transformed into a goal machine compared to last season. It's an excellent beginning for Hansi Flick as club manager, he remains undefeated in La Liga but was unlucky to lose for the first time in the Champions League against Monaco due to the red card. To be honest, I thought Barcelona was going to find it hard to secure all the points against Villarreal since they have not lost any of their games this season, and have drawn against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona's performance showed that they are capable of winning trophies this season, and I can't wait to watch their first El Clasico match.

On the other hand, I don't think Young Boys will concede goals like this against Barcelona, they lost their first Champions League game to Aston Villa by three goals, so I don't think they will allow that to happen again. Barcelona can only score many goals in La Liga, but I don't think they can score six or seven goals in the Champions League, but they will be able to score at least two or three against Young Boys.

Glad to see Barcelona has bounced back from their loss at UCL. They beat Villareal by a great margin. Their high-line defence worked as intended in this game. It looks scary to see them use high-line defense. But, it helped them trap their opponents in an offside position.

It seems to me Hansiball always prioritizes their attack over defense. It can be seen from how they took the big risk playing highline defence. But this is not gonna work against a club who fully understand how to leave from the trap. And there's room for improvement in their defence.

Their great win against Villareal cost them Ter Stegen. He will likely be out till the end of the season due to his injury.

Barcelona's performance had no effect at all after suffering defeat in the UEFA Champions League to Monaco after being able to achieve a fairly landslide victory over Villareal in La Liga. Robert Lewandowski could almost have scored a hat trick if his penalty kick had not hit the crossbar and his performance was very impressive after being able to score a brace against Villareal.

Barcelona have paid most expensive for their victory over Villareal because their main goal keeper Marc-André ter Stegen have out on the second half match and potential will absent until the end of this season. Its very bad news for Barcelona because they have many important matches in La Liga and improving performance in Champion League if won't loss opportunity get qualifying to knock out round.

Unbelievable with Barcelona performance since managed by Hansi Flick, in La Liga have won 6 of 6 matches and most fantastic have scored 22 goals drastically difference with Real Madrid scored 13 goas of 6 matches although have conceded 5 goals. Most amazing start for Barcelona in this season not only success keep the winning trend but also always scoring above 3 to 4 goals on every matches.

Barcelona are the only team to have won consecutively this season and are four points ahead of defending champions Real Madrid. This victory was much needed after Barcelona lost 1-2 away to Monaco in the Champions League group stage.  Hansi Flick's side have played like true champions in the last six rounds of La Liga. With a 4-2-3-1 formation. The attack, with a harmonious combination of Lewandowski's experience, Raphinha's cunning, and Lamine Yamal's youth, continues to be the catalyst for Barcelona's rise. I believe that in the next two rounds, Barcelona has the opportunity to extend its winning streak when it meets weak opponents Getafe and Osasuna.

Ter Stegen has been constantly mentioned recently for his silly mistakes, causing his team to concede goals. After playing a role in Barcelona's Champions League defeat to Monaco, Ter Stegen continued to fail to keep a clean sheet as Villarreal's Ayoze Perez scored in the first half. Things got worse for the Barcelona captain when he suffered a serious injury, had to leave the field later, and faced the risk of being out for the rest of the season. Either way, this is a big loss for Barcelona for the rest of the season.

[BALIK]

On the other hand, I don't think Young Boys will concede goals like this against Barcelona, they lost their first Champions League game to Aston Villa by three goals, so I don't think they will allow that to happen again. Barcelona can only score many goals in La Liga, but I don't think they can score six or seven goals in the Champions League, but they will be able to score at least two or three against Young Boys.

I cannot agree with you. Barcelona lost the first match of the Champions League unfortunately. I wouldn't say that Barcelona's performance was too bad even though they lost the match. If Garcia had not received the red card, the result of the match might have been different. But that was Barcelona's misfortune.

In the last match we saw a good performance from the Barcelona players again. Villarreal is one of the strongest clubs in La Liga this season. And the players of Barcelona have been able to perform well against the Villarreal club.

The performance of the Young Boys team has not been strong this season. Even Young Boys have won only one match out of 7 matches in the Swiss Super League. I don't think it will be possible for this team to resist Barcelona in this situation.

[Velvet78]

I was surprised with seeing Atletico Madrid lose points last night. Actually they scored the equalizer quite early in the second half. But there was still no goal in the remaining half... 

Simeone continues to give Alvarez lots of chances to see his improvement. But unfortunately he couldn't make any impact on the game despite playing for the whole game. But he scored against Valencia previously so I hope he will get better slowly. I don't know maybe it is better to start with Griezmann instead while he is in a much better shape. Alvarez entered in the second half of the Valencia game and still scored in the end.

Barcelona continues to extend their winning streak in the current league, of the 6 matches they have played have all been achieved with perfect victories thus making Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico unbeaten teams this season, Barcelona current performance actually silences all our previous doubts who thought that Barcelona was no longer great after all the problems that befell them.
Although Barcelona journey in the Champions League is not as good as in La Liga but the defeat to Monaco does not make their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 of the Champions League closed at the moment because they still have  7 teams as opponents  that may give them points later, I think for now Barcelona must focus on La Liga because it is very important for them to maintain consistency and also the mentality of winning in the current league rather than thinking about the match Both Champions Leagues which will be played in 3 weeks again.

The performance of the Young Boys team has not been strong this season. Even Young Boys have won only one match out of 7 matches in the Swiss Super League. I don't think it will be possible for this team to resist Barcelona in this situation.

That's right, we can't just judge from one match but we have to look at all of Barcelona's matches at the beginning of this season.

The big win over Villarreal shows how strong Barcelona is this season, and it is undeniable that Barcelona continues to show positive progress in every match, apart from the defeat they experienced in the UCL match, I think the defeat is understandable because Barcelona played with 10 men when one of their players received a red card early in the match.

For the next UCL match against Young Boys I think the Barcelona team will have much greater motivation to win the match and the defeat in the first UCL match can also be a lesson.
With Barcelona's strength like now I think now no one doubts them anymore, they are really very strong this season.

Julian Alvarez played quite well against Rayo Vallecano, he just didn't have much luck there. Besides, this was a game dominated by Rayo Vallecano, you can see that in the stats below.

From the data above, I think both teams deserve points, Rayo Vallecano as a team that has good statistics + playing at home & Atletico Madrid who is one of the strong teams in La Liga but playing away.

[hyudien]

Barcelona big win had to take a toll where Ter Stegen was injured badly enough to make Hansi Flick have to think about finding the right goalkeeper. But so far Ter Stegen is irreplaceable and I don't expect Barcelona to have any problems in the future. According to rumours Ter Stegen absence will take up to 8-9 months so we'll see what steps Barcelona take to maintain his consistency in goal. I don't think Barcelona can rely on the reserve keeper forever, they need to buy a keeper who is qualified enough to be kept as the main squad. Barcelona schedule in the Champions League and La Liga increasingly requires full strength, not only in the front line but the goalkeeper is the most important core that should not be left empty without an experienced figure.

My question now is should we consider Barcelona as a club that can only do well in the league and get beaten in European competitions?

On the records, Barcelona have scored 22 goals this season, having 16 goals coming from their three previous league games, Hansi Flick is doing a great job in Camp Nou this season. In his first season, he's unbeaten 6th game in La Liga fixtures and he's not holding back, ambitious about the bright future that lies ahead and accomplishing this dream, there ought to be extreme presence of hardwork, consistency when it comes to performance from the players, back to back. We're acquainted with the performance of Barcelona this season, they've been nothing but a formidable elite club in La Liga.

Barcelona comes to the UEFA Champions League, they suddenly turned ghost elite club. Unable to deliver their very best and this is not the first or second time, it's been like that under different managers. The big curious questions comes up, can Hansi Flick turn the hand of clock and start getting brilliant game outcomes in elite leagues and not just the domestic league. Barcelona will have to do more outside La Liga because everyone thinks they're incompetent to handle elite oppositions, taking someone on your own size is the main deal for elite competition.

[naira]

The slaughter mode was activated again after experiencing defeat in their last match at Monaco's headquarters in the opening match of the UCL, Villarreal who were undefeated in the previous 5 games had to admit Barcelona greatness. Interestingly, Flick played many players from the La Masia academy in this match, both starters and as substitutes, there were 10 La Masia players who were given the opportunity to play by the coach. I saw Barcelona doing something that was very rare in the Xavi era, the players kept attacking no matter how many goals had been scored. This strategy had a big impact on the opponent's mentality. Initially, Villarreal players played very disciplined and were very determined to attack, but their spirit immediately collapsed after seeing goal after goal coming into their goal.

Hansi Flick has always been able to find talent worthy of La Liga, even relying on players from La Masia managed to show solid cooperation and slaughter Villarreal. Overall this will continue to provide many positives for Barcelona, but the Champions League task must be addressed immediately. The loss to Monaco demands Barcelona to win their next game against Young Boys. There is no other option as there are 7 Champions League games remaining and Barcelona cannot afford to drop points for a second time.

against Monaco in the UCL it was very disappointing for some people who support Barcelona because it was the hope of Barcelona fans that Barcelona should be able to win that match. and indeed at that time I personally also predicted that Barcelona would win, but in fact Monaco was indeed strong and indeed Monaco. its strength cannot be underestimated.

Yes, now Barcelona in the Domestic League has shown extraordinary strength and what is certain is that against Villarreal it was clear that Hansi Flick's troops appeared full of confidence in that match and of course the score was 1-5 for Barcelona's victory. In my opinion, of course there is potential for Barcelona to be able to compete like in the UCL and others. and I am sure that in the next match Barcelona will definitely have great potential to perform even better. and I think Barceona will be able to compete fiercely in the domestic league, UCL and others.  because no matter what, in my opinion, Barcelona is still a strong team and will be able to compete closely in the UCL and others.

and I am sure that in Laliga and UCL Barcelona's performance will be good because I am sure that Hansi Flick will definitely try to correct the failures that have occurred and will continue to improve Barcelona's performance.

Losing Ter Stegen will certainly weaken Barcelona's strength, Flick must immediately respond to the incident quickly to maintain conduciveness in the team. So far Barcelona has been able to perform impressively in La Liga and was last able to cripple Villarreal with a fairly large score. However, I predict that if Ter Stegen has to be sidelined longer, Barca's strength will weaken and it is very possible for them to not be able to maintain their consistency so far.

undoubtedly Barcelona is one of the most strong team who just hold their legendary performance for long and continuely archived victory against most of their opponent team including a big victory against home team in most of the matches. Get defeated by Monaco was a sad part, although monaco defeated Barcelona in previous month, probably 13th august in Joan Gamper Trophy where Monaco get their 1st title of championship. Well afterwards Hansi Flick made some surprising changes what bring positive result for Barcelona when they started the match against Villarreal. Barcelona took some time to handle the situation while Villarreal showing their dominating performance from the beginning. Scoring 2 goals proved their ability in 1st half when opponent team scored 1 goal against them. Afterwards a halftime break, Barcelona cleared their heads and become active their dengerous mode against their oppennt team and scored 3 goals again, total 5 goals were placed when Villarreal was troubling to their 2nd one. With this performance Barcelona really impressed their fans and regain respect after manaco incident. Well in the next match against Getafe, Barcelona has possibility to surprise us as home team. Let's see

I was surprised with seeing Atletico Madrid lose points last night. Actually they scored the equalizer quite early in the second half. But there was still no goal in the remaining half... 

Simeone continues to give Alvarez lots of chances to see his improvement. But unfortunately he couldn't make any impact on the game despite playing for the whole game. But he scored against Valencia previously so I hope he will get better slowly. I don't know maybe it is better to start with Griezmann instead while he is in a much better shape. Alvarez entered in the second half of the Valencia game and still scored in the end.

Atletico Madrid are always not good at getting much goals but they have been good at equalizing and ending in a draw, that's their trade mark of last season and I think they can't stop doing that. If it was them that was leading by a goal to nil I don't think they would have bothered to get the second goal. They have been on this pattern for long, if they score 2 goals they are definitely going to win that game but if the opponent are the ones leading by a goal to nil ATM will struggle to equalize, you see them setting for a draw, which is too bad.
Alvarez is been given that chances he was asking for at Manchester City but he is not using it to his own advantage and it will look like he's not good for the ATM or doesn't have anything to offer to the team. To me I won't blame him but the club he moved to because they don't have that flexibility to even make opponent struggle while they dominate the game, which means he's finding it hard to work with the style of play ATM are using to operate, it would be hard for him to start performing with this team and if care is not taken he might be left out of the squad which will force him to seek of a loan move, ATM pattern doesn't suit him at all.

[Litzki1990]

When a player leaves his old club and joins a new club, naturally there is some weakness in his performance, maybe not above Mbappe.

Mbappe has been at PSG for a long time and when he left PSG to join Real Madrid, naturally, his current manager's tactics and good understanding with his teammates will be a little less, so we will see some weakness in his performance. But there is no doubt that this player will do well for Real Madrid. You mentioned here that Mbappe scored more goals in La Liga than his penalty kicks, I would say penalty kicks are a skill and not all players can do that.
Trust Real Madrid management as well as Mbappe they will not let you down at all.

I understand what you're trying to say but that statement shouldn't be generalised and you should've rather use to word (some) players, take for example, Cristiano Ronaldo, when he left Manchester United to Real Madrid, he didn't find it tough and blended immediately, even Jude Bellingham who just concluded his debut season was amazing upon arrival, it's understandable if Mbappe is not finding it easy, fans might complain and try to kill his confidence but it shouldn't get to him cause players like Hazard didn't find it easy too but the good thing about Mbappe is that he's not as injury prone compared to Hazard who didn't last at Madrid due to injury. Mbappe is a brilliant player and I'm very sure we'll see the best of him soon when he's finally got to understand the new teams tactics and blend well with his teammates. I wonder why some people disregard penalty kicks as if it's not part of football, if it's very easy as some people think then why do some world class players still miss it. It takes good skills to outsmart a goal keeper one on one a find the back of the net, the slightest distraction from the keeper or crowd could make a player miss it.

When Mbappe left PSG to join Real Madrid and when Mbappe played his first big match for Real Madrid we all know about the result of that match and Real Madrid won that match and Mbappe contributed well by scoring goals for Real Madrid. However, the performance of the same player is not always the same. You mention Ronaldo or Bellingham, they have been great from their early days in Real Madrid jersey but it wouldn't be surprising if Mbappe is different. 

Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world right now, so Real Madrid have signed a long-term contract with the player. 
As quick as we are to expect performances from Mbappe in the Real Madrid jersey, maybe Real Madrid aren't expecting too much. We will definitely be waiting for Mbap's best performance.

It seems that Barcelona are doing great in La Liga, now they have to do the same thing a few times in the Champions League to get some points, although I have no doubt that for them to reach the playoffs will be an easy task, and the defeat to Monaco is an accident. The next games will be with Getafe and Osasuna, I think these should be easy wins, and then the match with Young Boys in the Champions League, I expect Barcelona to score at least 4 goals in this match.

I don't see Villarreal as a strong team, I mean in terms of defense. Although they were previously undefeated before facing Barcelona, ​​their defense is quite vulnerable to conceding. In the previous 5 matches, Villarreal has conceded 8 goals, plus 5 goals conceded by Barcelona. Now, they have conceded 13 goals in their 6 matches. The difference is, this season Villarreal is quite productive in every match they play. Throughout the match, they are sure to be able to score goals. Moreover, Marcelino's pattern is very monotonous with his 4-4-2. In last night's match, although Barcelona was not reinforced by several of their core players, they were able to defeat Villarreal with a landslide score at Villarreal's home base. So far Barcelona is the most productive in their 6 matches compared to other teams, they have scored 22 goals and 18 points. While waiting for some players to recover, Barcelona should theoretically remain on a positive trend. In the next two matches, Getafe and Osasuna are not tough opponents, as well as in the Champions League against Young Boys. what Hansi Flick has to do is prepare Barcelona when they face his former team, Bayern Munich in the Champions League, it is certain that this match will be exciting.

However, I predict that if Ter Stegen has to be sidelined longer, Barca's strength will weaken and it is very possible for them to not be able to maintain their consistency so far.

Yes, once again Barcelona is really unlucky because there is another injured player. And it has been confirmed that Marc ter Stegen underwent surgery for the patella tendon in his right knee. Let's just pray that the healing process will go smoothly. Luckily Iñaki Peña was able to replace him well, so he was also able to keep the goal from conceding.

Well, after all, Barcelona's injury lists are quite long, at least there are 8 players who are injured. This is really crazy, a very tight schedule and indeed very risky for the club's players.

Barcelona this season is very impressive under Flick, he managed to make the Barcelona squad appear confident and always score many goals in La Liga, it can be said that Barcelona's goal productivity has increased, this is very different from the previous season.

I think Barcelona fans should be proud of everything Flick has done for the Barcelona squad this season. Despite rotating the main players, Barcelona still managed to destroy Villarreal and this was their first defeat this season. Barcelona is indeed extraordinary. In addition, Raphina also played very well and she took her captain's duties seriously. She defended her teammates and did it without her usual anger. She accepted her new role in the squad and showed seriousness in carrying out her duties.

Yes, I also want to say that the defeat to Monaco in the Champions League was an accident, because they had to play with 10 players and I am sure in the next match they will score many goals, especially in the next five matches Barcelona will not face strong teams either in La Liga or in the Champions League.
