La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Accardo]

Barcelona lacked team play and lost control of the match after the second goal. The whole of first half, they had only one shot on target, a poor performance no viewer expected of Barcelona. Subsequently, the second half turned out interesting and entertaining, but the defeat today, though unusual, will strengthen Barca to prepare better against bigger teams in their upcoming features. Osasuna on the other flip, planned well for a competent opponent, and came out victorious.

The players really celebrated the astonishing game play, after the match and if they maintain it they could win Barca again.

It seems that Barcelona or Flick must think carefully in determining the players for the next match because it is very dangerous for their current position, Osasuna is not a team to be underestimated, they made Flick think differently about them, the score became 4-2, a good victory for Osasuna.

If Flick underestimated a team like Osasuna he deserve what he got, but it could be he was trying things out with those poor line ups of his, that caused his first time loss in laliga at El Sadar this season. Initially he may have thought they'll bounce back and win the game, but Osasuna outsmarted them by taking up their chances, and utilizing every opportunity.

Additionally, all four goals was as a result of Barca's defensive error, the goal keeper did his best, meaning that Flick should work further on his defenders, else other teams would operate on that loophole.

[Solokan]

Barcelona made too many mistakes in this match, the first two goals were the goalkeeper's fault, that was enough to ruin the mood for the game, then there were two mistakes from the defenders, a penalty and the last goal, the same thing. A bad day for Barcelona, ​​too many goals conceded, and it looks like until Barcelona solves the goalkeeper issue, we can see something similar in the next matches. Real will play Atletico today, they may also lose points, but even if they win, Barcelona will retain first place, at least for now.

Now I see why Barcelona were really looking for a replacement for their injured goalkeeper, and after that terrible display by Iñaki Peña I think Barcelona would hasten up their quest for a new goal keeper, that was a big chance for Peña to prove himself and maintain that spot until Ter Stegen returns but he's ruined it with a very poor performance. It was indeed a bad day for Barcelona it's their first defeat in the Laliga this season and they suffered a heavy one loosing four goals against Osasuna, it's not really encouraging and they need to make up for that lose. The lose has made Real Madrid the only team in Laliga to remain unbeaten currently however we're some hours away from knowing if they'll remain unbeaten or lose like Barcelona, the derby match against Atletico Madrid would be a very tough one and Real Madrid would be playing without Kylian Mbappé. Well Ancelotti made it clear to the press that his team would be fine playing Atletico Madrid without Mbappé, let's  watch and see how it goes.

Indeed, from the results of that match, many were disappointed with Inaki Pena, but I personally don't really blame Inaki Pena, but what is clear is that Inaki Pena needs to improve himself so that he can be better at defending Barcelona, ​​but in my opinion there is nothing wrong if Barcelona is looking for a goalkeeper It's new but I see that Barcelona as a result of this defeat could be because they took Osasuna consider easily. but yes, it is already familiar because football is always full of surprises.

This was indeed the first defeat for Barcelona and surely Hansi Flick and Barcelona fans also certainly did not expect it to be a happy day for Osasuna. Yes, Real Madrid has not experienced a defeat so far and of course this will really threaten Barcelona who are in the top position at the moment.

Yes, we'll see in the Real Madrid match later whether Real Madrid will win the match against Atletico Madrid or not, but I'm sure Real Madrid will be able to win against Atletico Madrid even without Mbappe playing because of course before Mbappe joined Real Madrid I saw Real Madrid's strength. He's already strong, so of course it's not a problem if, for example, Ancelotti doesn't play Mbappe, so we'll see. and it looks like I want to bet on Real Madrid winning in the later match.

[sana54210]

Yeah I also can't believe how Barselona played such a bad match. 4-2 against teams like Osasuna. It was by no means expected.  Barcelona are still Top 1 in the points table but they probably won't be on top for long if they keep playing easy matches like this.

The 100% record since being coached by Hansi Flick finally collapsed, Barcelona suffered their first defeat of the season to Osasuna 4-2. The poor performance shown by Barcelona was triggered by the rotation carried out by Hansi Flick, he was very confident in the abilities of the squad he had prepared, but it turned out that his strategy and plans did not work perfectly. Playing Sergi Dominguez and Gerard Martin was one of the factors that caused their goal to concede 4 times and was the biggest mistake made by Flick because the two young players have not reached the level of Balde and Inigo Martinez.

I misjudged Barcelona in this match, a result that was quite a blow to Hansi Flick as Barcelona's points difference became thinner. Interestingly despite Barcelona's formation by playing different squads the final result is a conclusion that cannot be rejected. After Monaco comes Osasuna and has Barcelona run out of petrol?

To be honest the team wasn't even that bad, sometimes you are just unlucky and this happened. They started the season very well, stronger than any other team, and they had just one loss so far, I think people are overreacting, they should be able to lose one game, that's normal, you do not finish the season with 100% win rate, Flick can't have 3.00 averages in the league, he will lose some games and this one time is fine.

I get that nobody expected them to lose to Osasuna, like maybe Real Madrid or even Atletico Madrid would have been better because Osasuna sucks and not good at all and the fact that they conceded 4 goals from such a team was a shock to everyone but a loss is a loss and I am sure it will help them be better focused on next games.

This was a game that once again highlighted how horrible the defense is for Barcelona, their offense works like a well oiled machine but their defense sucks big time and people have been complaining about that for a long time.

I think they need to find some players that will make the defense better, otherwise it is not going to eb that easy for anyone and we should be looking at something that will benefit them very much so. The best way to move forward would be just focusing on how to get greater income from selling some of the players and using that income on making better defensive adjustments, they need to get someone who is world class to fix that teams issues on defense.

[junder]

It's not Osasuna is strong, but Barcelona play with weaker players.

Torre, Victor, Garcia, Dominguez, Cubarsi, Martin and Pena, they're just a B class players. It's not really surprising to be honest, Barcelona will suffer many lose and draw in the next few upcoming match until Olmo is recovered from the injury.

At least Szczesny will able to play in the next match in Champions League, this should minimize Barcelona to conceded many goals.

Osasuna was lucky to beat Barcelona with a landslide score of 4-2, this match made some people wonder what Barcelona showed was not like their usual game, Hansi Flick tried something new with new players but failed, Yamal came in as a substitute, if only he was included at the beginning it is not impossible that Barca could avoid defeat, and Inaki Pena as a goalkeeper was less able to guard his goal well,
even so I understand Hansi Flick has tried his best with many injured players and a tight schedule inevitably player rotation must be done.
And yes, Szczesny's arrival will have a good impact on the team in important matches ahead because Pena has been given trust but has not been able to prove it.

[Jossque]

Getafe got their first win after 7 weeks in the league with a 2-0 victory over Alaves. Getafe definitely deserved to win with a better game than their opponent.
Real Sociedad hosted Valencia at home. After leading 1-0 at half time, Sociedad scored 2 more goals in the last 10 minutes of the second half to win 3-0. Oskarsson scored 2 goals after coming into the game and relieved his team.

[KTChampions]

A total defeat by 4-2... It was really a disaster for Barcelona after such an incredible start.    Hansi Flick took full responsibility of this loss on his comments related to the game. People criticized Yamal's being in the substitutes. But I understand the manager on this. Because he has to rotate players as the schedule is very busy. It is the same situation for any team competing in European tournaments at the same time.

When it comes to the Madrid derby, it is time. It is tonight.    Barcelona would make use of a draw in this game. I think it is a quite probable result. Simeone's students also started pretty well as you have seen so far.

But in some ways it was expected, because 8 wins in a row would be too much, right?

~
Do you think Barcelona can drop points in the game against Osasuna? I think it is likely, simply because 8 wins in a row for Barcelona is too fat  ~

I suspected that Barcelona's "luck" had to run out somewhere and the defeat to Monaco was not enough of a return to the mean.
I hope that Real will be able to take advantage of Barcelona's slip-up, but in fact it's good that in this difficult round Real will at least not worsen its position.
By the way, why do you care how many points Atletico will get? Are you afraid that Barcelona will lose second place again?

Getafe got their first win after 7 weeks in the league with a 2-0 victory over Alaves. Getafe definitely deserved to win with a better game than their opponent.

Getafe had collected 4 points until this match. They had a very bad start to the league and I didn't think they would be able to win this match. Alaves' performance against Real Madrid was good and I expected them to win this match.

Matches between teams with similar performances usually produce surprising results. I think this match was one of those matches. If Alaves had won the match, they would have increased their points to 13 and widened the gap with the teams below them, but they couldn't take advantage of this opportunity.

[tsaroz]

Barcelona's first loss I'm the league has opened up opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up sooner. Real Madrid has played one less match and if they won their next which is against another unbeaten team Atletico Madrid, they'd be just one point below Barcelona and unlike Barcelona remain undefeated. Real Madrid seem to have gotten back their winning performance and even though Atletico is undefeated till date, they haven't played against a stronger team. There's some break on the league and the 10th match Barcelona and Real Madrid play would be against one another. This El classico could be the game from which Real Madrid takes the lead.

Slowly but surely that's what Real Madrid are currently doing, they don't want to be too aggressive at the start of the season. I'm no longer surprised by the Blaugrana defeat because the defence was too weak. The defence lost the duel with Osasuna players and the absence of Ter Stegen and several key defenders was the main reason why Barcelona could not defend their goal. Therefore Hansi Flick should immediately put Szczęsny as the main goalkeeper so that the goal is not easily broken into by the opponent, at least Szczęsny can be better than Pena. 
Real Madrid position is 4 points behind Barcelona, it is certainly not easy to win 3 points in today match because Atletico Madrid is also aiming for 3 points to move up to that position to reduce the difference. It's hard to say who will win this match but I expect both teams to have a good game.

[fuguebtc]

I would say it was a wrong decision by Hansi Flick to leave Yamal and Raphinha out of the squad for this match. And this is why Barcelona are going to lose. Osasuna team cannot be called weak as we have seen good performances from this team in previous matches this season. But Hansi Flick considers this group to be weak. And that's why he didn't keep Yamal and Raphinha in the starting XI.

In his reasons Hansi Flick did not underestimate Ossasuna, but it was a difficult decision for him in this match. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha needed rest to be physically prepared for the Champions League, but as a consequence Barcelona's performance was very bad. Barcelona's defense in this match was really problematic and Hansi Flick didn't have many other options when several defenders were injured, so this defeat had to be accepted.

Ossasuna will eventually secure 3 home points in this match considering they have scored 4 goals. Barcelona are 4-1 down to Ossasuna and this is really a result that was very unexpected to happen. What can be done, it seems like everything is over.

The Champions League match is definitely very important for Barcelona. Because Barcelona was defeated in the first match of the Champions League. And that's why Barcelona must win the second leg. Perhaps this is why Hansi FLick wanted to rest two of the most important players in his squad. If Barcelona had not conceded two goals in the first half, Hansi Flick would not have put Raphinha and Yamal on the field in the second half.

Several key Barcelona players were not in the squad for this match. This is one of the reasons for Barcelona's defeat. However, there is no denying that Osasuna's players performed brilliantly in this match. From the start of the match, I felt confident after seeing Osasuna's players. Osasuna had the mentality to dominate from the beginning of the match. And this is one of the important reasons for Osasuna's victory in this match. osasuna won this match by performing well. They deserve to win this match.

[GxSTxV]

Such a disappointment for my bets of yesterday due to the big failure of Barcelona against Osasuna, and honestly I was risking a lot in my part, believing in the young players after their great performance from the beginning and how they are leading the standings, automatically I said they would really improve their performance after the second half, especially after scoring the first goal for them and making the result closer 2-1 in the first few minutes of second half. However, I couldn’t understand what happened exactly which made them lose control again and receiving the third and fourth goal.

While it’s totally my decision to risk more money on Barcelona, it hurts that I set a bet for a smaller return and suffered more losses due to chasing a big win. LaLiga this season seems to be unpredictable, the thing that will make me think twice before any upcoming match.

[hahay]

If Alaves had won the match, they would have increased their points to 13 and widened the gap with the teams below them, but they couldn't take advantage of this opportunity.

Although Getafe has only got one win, but the truth is that Getafe also has results that are not completely bad. Because anyway, although so far Getafe has gotten four draws and three defeats,  but Getafe has also never lost with a two-goal gap, at least such results for me are not bad at all. Except, when Getafe have lost and lost with a big score,  if that happens then Getafe really has  problems that need to be resolved immediately.

But in reality, I think Getafe are also still fine even though they are currently in the bottom zone of the standings, because Getafe are also a team that is more often just struggling in the middle of the standings. After all, Getafe also managed to beat Alaves with 2-0 and of course,  it will be a result that will make their morale increase for  the next matches.

[Leviathan.007]

Raphinha likes to play for Barcelona and he enjoys his time while playing there, we all know about the interest of his player in Barcelona. Even back in 2022 when he had a much better offer with more money from Chelsea he didn't accept the offer and he decided to play for Barcelona while he could earn much more in Chelsea.
But recently and especially in the past season when Xavi was working there, he couldn't have a good performance in Barcelona because was mostly injured and not in the good form to help his team anymore.
This made Barcelona put him for sale and he was about to say goodbye to his favorite team, But now it seems Flick trusts this player and he even asked Barcelona to extend the contract of Raphinha for a longer time.

Real Madrid position is 4 points behind Barcelona, it is certainly not easy to win 3 points in today match because Atletico Madrid is also aiming for 3 points to move up to that position to reduce the difference. It's hard to say who will win this match but I expect both teams to have a good game.

Athletico Madrid is in good form this season and is the only club that challenged Real Madrid last season. I am sure they will perform great tonight. Mbappe, who was expected to perform well in Madrid, is now injured and will not play the Derby game tonight. Ancelotti has changed the formation to 4-4-2. let see how this information will look in the next few minutes,  know one can predict the game but Madrid won't lose tonight they can just draw the game but Ancelotti will do anything possible to achieve the three point tonight. because he will be and advantage for Madrid since Barcelona as lost three point against osasuna yesterday win they win they will be left with one point, let see if Madrid can get the three point tonight. And Athletico Madrid won't do anything to lose at home so the game will be very tough for both side and the game can't be predict anything can happen in the match.

[Docnaster]

Yesterday, Barcelona lost their game against Osasuna to record their first league defeat of the season which a result that now gives Real Madrid the opportunity of cutting down the point difference between them and the Spanish La Liga leaders. In less than 20 minutes from now, Real Madrid will be facing their biggest city rivals Atletico Madrid and will need to win the game to reduce their points difference behind Barcelona to just 1 point. Do you think Carlo Ancelotti's men will be able to get an away win against Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid?

Rotating several players in the match against Ossasuna was basically a difficult decision for Hansi Flick, but he had to do it because several players needed rest considering the busy schedule in September. Barcelona played 5 matches in September of which 2 ended in defeat including against Ossasuna and Monaco in the Champions League.

But unfortunately, the experiment that Hansi Flick tried in that match failed miserably. He brought on Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in the second half, they helped but it was clear there were many other unresolved problems. Barcelona's defense did not improve and that is why they conceded 4 goals in that match. However, if Ferran Torres and several other players are able to maximize their opportunities, Barcelona can certainly avoid defeat.

Nobody expects a strong team like Barcelona gonna lose against Osasuna.
I would have expected Barcelona to go down 1-0 though as that wasn't unusual either.  But Barcelona team lost 4-2 which was not really expected, I'm sure most of the gamblers lost their bets in this match.
Anyway how was your plan for this match Atletico Madrid vs Real madrid ? The match was going to held in few minutes already the line-up has been conferred and in this match from real Madrid were not going to see Kylian Mbappe and Endrick.
What do you think Real Madrid can win or draw with Atletico Madrid without these two?

[minairia3]

Congratulations to the Getafe team for their first win of the season. There is no doubt that Getafe performed well in this match. In the home match they managed to dominate the match. However, Alaves' performances have been very erratic this season. I originally considered Alaves as the favorite in this match today. Because Alaves performed great against Real Madrid in the last match. Alaves players managed to score two goals against Madrid's strong defense. But the team could not play well against Getafe. Alaves managed just one shot on target in the entire match.

When I saw what Getafe played FC Barcelona, I knew that their time of misery coming to an end was close. Even though they lost the match by one goal to nil, they played above expectations and even missed chances that would have made them score equaliser. That they were even able to stop Barcelona from scoring many goals also showed they had impprved so much and were ready to turn things around. So it was not difficult knowing that they will win any average team they met. Unfortunately for Alaves, they were the first recipient of the anger of Getafe. Going forward, I think they will win many matches ahead.

What do you think Real Madrid can win or draw with Atletico Madrid without these two?

I’m very hesitant about the Derby match of today in Madrid, and for several reasons, most people will find it hard to bet on one of them two win, while there’s also a chance of drawing. Real Madrid will play at Metropolitano Stadium which’s not home for them, although it’s the same city for fans but the pressure between neighbors are very high. I will observe the first few minutes of the match, at least 20 minutes before I make my bet on Real Madrid, otherwise I would just enjoy the game if it’s not the usual strong performance from this team.
As you have mentioned the absence of a strong attacking line might cause fewer chances for them to score. Both teams are capable of winning, but both teams have different motivations to win, and that’s the difference for tonight’s game as I believe it will be the reason for one team to win.
