La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Dailyscript]

Real Madrid did not play badly, as usual they always dominated the course of the match over their opponents, including in the match against Lille last night, Ancelotti's troops had many opportunities, it's just that Lille's goalkeeper at that time was in his best form, L. Chevalier made many crucial saves, seen in the final minutes the Madrid players were frustrated by this goalkeeper.
What is clear as you said some of us would not have expected this final result, but
This defeat will not make Real Madrid slump there are still 6 matches to be played by them in the UCL competition, the chance to advance to the next phase is still high.
Regarding Bayern Munich, isn't their opponent Aston Villa if we are talking about UCL?

I dont know what your definition of badly means. But they were not in mutual understanding in that match. Yes, it's easy for Real Madrid to have dominated the game with higher possessions but that's not what the fans want. They needed a straight win in that game and if Real Madrid was composed enough in the second half they would have equalized and almost won the game. I can remember at the start of the match, during the 5th minute. Vinicius had the opportunity to score in that game or he would have passed the ball and that would have been the first goal of the game but he failed. However, I am not here to blame anyone because sometimes the game dont go the way we expect it.

It's just that so many things are changing in football. a lot of development in terms of formation, tactics, defending, set piece and to mention a few. And even the smaller teams are improving in that area as well. If big teams fail to take the opportunity they have, the smaller team will utilize their opportunity and win the game. That is what we all say in this week's UCL games and am not surprised. I learned a lesson that before betting on UCL games you have to be watching all most all the leagues that are involved in the UCL. Teams that are not famous are actually doing so well in their individual league but we underrate them since they are smaller teams or not famous enough.

Real Madrid loosing to Lilie yesterday was a shocker, even me i personally did predicted that the worse that could happen would be a draw, but a 1-0 win id obviously a lucky win and Madrid wasn't playing form home even if its not sufficient excuse as to why they lost the game, Barcelona who happens to be another Spanish representative has actually been doin so well already in the champions league so far, even with their score line its been great what they may not have is the kind of consistency Madrid may have currently but hopefully they will get that this season and Madrid too may get better before the champions league gets mid season already.

[hahay]

Real Madrid lost against losc in the second match of the Champions League. After being unbeaten for 36 consecutive matches, they finally lost in this Champions League match. In the beginning, Real Madrid made several attacks and they created chances to score, but they did not succeed in scoring. Towards the end of the first half they found themselves trailing 1-0 on penalties to LosC. We have seen before that Real Madrid fell behind in the first half and then came back brilliantly in the second half but nothing like that happened in this match. 
After being in such great form and not being able to win against losc with a good team is really a pain for real madrid fans like myself.

La Liga teams were quite disappointing in this second gameweek of the Champions League as anyway, only Barcelona managed to win but indeed, Barcelona got an easy opponent so Barcelona also managed to win big 5-0 against Young Boys. But anyway, the fact is that in the first gameweek also Barcelona lost against Ligue 1 team and thus, it seems like La Liga teams  have bad results when playing against Ligue 1 teams. Just think,  Barcelona lost against Monaco, Real Madrid lost against Lille, Girona also lost against PSG,  maybe for Girona it was a reasonable defeat and also Barcelona played with only 10 players but Real Madrid? I am quite disappointed.

Maybe, if I didn't bet on Real Madrid at least such a result wouldn't be a problem but anyway, I also bet on this match and even though Real Madrid dominated the match, but Real Madrid also didn't have any goals. Not only that because in reality, Real Madrid also got more yellow cards than Lille and thus, Real Madrid really still needs time to have a performance with good chemistry in the team, because so far Real Madrid's performance is still bad even though they have a luxurious squad.

[Volgastallion]

I dont made so much analisis about Real madrid lose against Lille. Why? Well because Real Madrid always have this kind of game in the early stages of the season, when you can lose some games, its like they dont play full torthle in the game,but when we reach the late stages of the season is impossible to see them losing a game in europe.

[Roseline492]

Girona was very unfortunate on this match and I'm afraid they may have a bad result on this season because if they were playing well on there league I would have say that there mind is on that league but nothing like that because there poor performance is comprises on all the league they are currently playing on, they had the chances of either wining Feyenoord or they draw but miss the opportunities they had, though if there penalty was given they would have play draw against Feyenoord but they cancelled it, this is the second match they are losing on this champions League.

Seeing Girona's ability, I think I still have the chance to grow again, even though I admit that they are not too able to compete like last season which makes them able to be in second place in the standings and make us all surprised, but this time is still long, And they can buy the players they need to complete them back when the transfer market is opened.

That's exactly what they would do by getting new players because already they have lost most of there last season squad because some of there players left because there contract was completed but somehow the management is to be blamed because they were fully aware that some of those players will be completing there contract, so they should have do something to balance to whole thing considering the fact that those players contributed immensely on the growths of the club last season, so that means that the club will be affected if they are no more playing for Girona, so getting a replacement for them would have been more better instead of using there available players to filing those positions.

[Altryist]

Not being available in an adequate squad will make it a little difficult for Flick to rotate and that is also done when several players are injured. To maintain consistency is not easy because Barcelona must be able to play a much better match in terms of title contenders, but on the other hand many clubs will also do the same. If Osasuna can beat Barcelona easily then it is possible that other clubs can do it too.

This is what Flick must avoid so that his team does not lose the opportunity to compete for the title this season. It is not easy to avoid injuries, especially if the main players are forced to play all the time and the depth of the squad will be a reference when injuries occur to the main players.

If Barcelona lost to Osasuna, it does not mean that they will lose to everyone now, in that match with Osasuna there were several gross mistakes in defense, and in the end it ruined the whole game. Barcelona has a problem with the depth of the bench, but this problem was known from the very beginning of the season, of course Flick would like to fix it, but since the team has financial problems, at the moment it is impossible. Therefore, Flick will have to find a solution with the players he has, now the main thing is to solve the problem with the goalkeeper, and for Olmos De Jong to return to the game.

Real Madrid loosing to Lilie yesterday was a shocker, even me i personally did predicted that the worse that could happen would be a draw, but a 1-0 win id obviously a lucky win and Madrid wasn't playing form home even if its not sufficient excuse as to why they lost the game,

Lille's victory over visiting Real Madrid was not entirely due to luck. Lille are playing well and they have a good defense, it's just that sometimes the favorites can fail in one or two games. Many people were surprised, of course it was true, in fact many people ended up losing their gambling because of Real Madrid's defeat.

Barcelona who happens to be another Spanish representative has actually been doin so well already in the champions league so far, even with their score line its been great what they may not have is the kind of consistency Madrid may have currently but hopefully they will get that this season and Madrid too may get better before the champions league gets mid season already.

Barcelona was good in their latest Champions League match against Young Boys, of course because they were able to win the match with a score of 5-0. Barcelona recovered after losing 4-2 to Osasuna in La Liga, but they seemed unaffected by the defeat. De Jong has returned to play, which is good news for the team as Hansi Flick certainly has some good options in central midfield.

Next, Barcelona will travel to the Mendizorrotza Stadium to face Alaves. Barcelona cannot afford to lose more points if they want to continue leading the La Liga standings for longer, that's because the points gap with Real Madrid has been reduced to 3 points. Alaves is certainly dangerous, I can see that from how Alaves tried to recover in the previous match against Real Madrid.

[rahmad2nd]

Hansi Flick capacity as a great coach is indeed unquestionable and he has proven it when handling Bayer Munich. Seeing Barcelona's current achievements is truly extraordinary, especially Barcelona's situation which is still difficult due to the financial crisis, but Hansi Flick was able to bring Barcelona up from the slump with a squad that is strengthened by many young players. I am sure that if Hansi Flick can maintain the current consistency, then there is a big chance that Barcelona will become La Liga champions with its young players.

But on condition that Barcelona's players who were initially injured all recover, so Flick can develop his tactics and system according to the needs and availability of his players. Read under Hansi Fick's tutelage there have indeed been many changes, several academy players have been brought to the main team. so far they have played quite well, although still unstable. however, Barca has a chance to win the La Liga title, the condition is as I said. because, the schedule that will be played by Barceloba is quite tight. plus, Flick applies a system that drains the energy of the players. if there are no second reserve players, then the core team will easily run out of energy and even get injured. if that happens, it will be difficult for Barca to stay at the top of the La Liga standings until the end of the season. I'm sure Flick is very aware, that's why he often rotates some of his players to maintain the fitness of the players. especially, players who are prone to injury such as Pedri and now De Jong have returned to the main team. in the next match, the competition in any competition will be tight. Flick's job is to keep his team on the right track, so that maybe they can win trophies again, especially La Liga.

As a Real Madrid fan, i feel very disappointed with the way Real Madrid played in this game. They looked like a very unbalanced team now. They have too many athletic players. But, they lack technical, creative players in midfield.

Real's luck was not in their favor last night which is why they had to lose. Although many people are having a hard time accepting this loss because LOSC Lille got the goal from a penalty. If Eduardo Camavinga not made the mistake, the match might have ended with a draw. They should not have come back with a heavy loss. Coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted otherwise. He says it is their failure. Their performance in that match was not good due to which they cannot expect a draw. The bad news for Real was that despite having the youngest player, Endric, the team couldn't equalize that goal. However, the team LOSC Lille is happy with the match result. Along with the players their coach Bruno Genesio also celebrated the victory. Beating Real is a great moment for them.

Hansi Flick records speaks volume of his expertise as a manager and just like you said, he's been able to start his Barcelona reign on a very good note but considering the club's latest defeat to Osasuna last week in the league, there's now a serious doubt among football faithfuls who now thinks he might not be able to sustain his impressive performances. Personally I feel he'll succeed at Barcelona but with the presence of Real Madrid in the same league with them, it'll be a difficult task for the German manager

I think it's good for the younger players in Barcelona squad, cause under the tutelage of Hansi Flick, they'll develope into very decent players that would be very strong enough to challenge for the Champions of Laliga once again but I don't think it could be this season based on the strength of Real Madrid's squad, they're the title contenders this season and I believe they'll give Barcelona a very tough challenge to become Champions this season. At the beginning of the tournament some Real Madrid platers were finding it a little tough to catch up form but they're gradually recovering their form and by when they've fully recovered individual form we'll see the best of Real Madrid whereas most of those younger players at Barcelona are still developing and could easily be hindered by fatigue due to Hansi Flicks technique, I think that's the advantage Real Madrid have over Barcelona.

I can't imagine what would happen if Ancelotti loses La Liga and Champions League titles both this season.    I mean I wouldn't expect him to get sacked right away of course. But there would surely be some confidence loss in him by the board. This still wouldn't change my mind about him. I always believe he is one of the best choices for this job there.

Anyways, it is of course early to be sure of anything. But both tournaments look like they will be tough. The La Liga seemed easy for them last season but everything changed... Hansi Flick is really coming for the trophy. 

[BIT-BENDER]

It's very possible for the real Madrid coach lose bothe the Uefa champions League and the Laliga title this season. Yes some may say they are starting studded I don't think they are most of their players are over hyped and over priced, they haven't really sparked this season, I would prefer the Real Madrid of last season to this present squad any day Any time.

For now it would be hard to predict who will win the uefa champions League, this current system has giving even smaller team a chance but as for the Laliga title I would say it would go to Barcelona. I see Flick's men holding up a good form throughout the season.

I want you to take a look at their formation again and yiu will understand that Anceloti under rate Lille, though it's Nirmal to use unusual players so the regulars can rest but there was no breakthrough for Real Madrid and he never made any substitute that could change the game and Camavinga handball that caused them penalty was there the entire time, despite the 6 shots on target there was no one that was able to turn to any goal unfortunately.

Though, it's better that it's Champions League they lose in and not in the Laliga, they still have the opportunity to continue the league without beating by any team but the down side of losing to Lille is they are now down in the table when they are supposed to be atleast top 10 but now they are down to 13 but the fact that it still doesn't stop them from qualifying for the next stage is a relief.

I didn't expect Madrid to lose to Lille because Madrid is better than them in both the league and the Champions League, but because they are playing at home, they get home spirit and defeat Madrid, which is a surprise to Madrid fans, nothing gives anyone happy in that match, Ancelotti wants to spoil Real Madrid's ball because he wasn't like this last year, he didn't do this kind of information last year, but now he is doing it, causing Madrid to draw matches and most likely lose, I think he need to change it patterns against Villarreal because I no they are good. Real Madrid should not give another shame in the laliga this weekend since he as fuckup in the Champions league he should not try it in the league games, if he what to win the laliga this season.

He will be really difficult if Flick does not win his match against Alaves this weekend, they are not performing well, having lost three games, so Barcelona will most likely defeat them since I believe they are a poor team. Expect Flick to make a mistake, and Batch is a vital player again, giving Alaves opportunities to win, and they are even playing at home, thus Barcelona must win, and Real Madrid faces a difficult game against Villarreal since they are good. However, considering they are playing at home in Madrid, they will not want to lose.

You are right. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Real Madrid won neither La Liga nor the Champions League this season. And it has great potential. There is no doubt that the Real Madrid team is very strong. A scorer like Mbappe is in their squad. Also every player in the squad is talented. However, the Real Madrid team stumbled at the beginning of the season.

Firstly, Ancelotti is yet to find the perfect match strategy for this squad. Mbappe has not yet fully adapted to the players in the squad. Also several important players of the squad are out of the squad due to injuries. Due to these reasons, the Real Madrid team is now quite behind. The Real Madrid squad will not be fully stabilized until injured players return to the squad. Hence, it is going to be very difficult for Real Madrid to win the La Liga and Champions League titles this season.

[Pokapoka124]

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick have told the club's new goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny that he's not guaranteed to always start for the club rather that the former Poland international will have to fight for with Inaki Pena for the goalkeeping position. Do you think this statement by Flick is a way of making Wojciech Szczęsny to be at his best or do you believe that the club's goalkeeping position will be contested for by the two goalkeepers considering Pena's poor performance in the club's first league defeat at Osasuna on Saturday?

Yes, I think it is a wake up call and a notice to Szczesny that the first choice goalkeeper position is not guaranteed to anyone and it is based on merit and that he has to fight and merit to be/stay in that position. That should make him serious and be at his best to prove he deserves to start every game for the club. It’s the right mentality to have, no player is bigger than the boy no matter your reputation or awards.

We have to be honest, in this match Real Madrid deserved to lose. In this match Real Madrid's game was very bad starting from the messy build up, many players made wrong passes, plus Lille's goalkeeper and defense were in good form so this was very appropriate to lose. Ancelotti was also strange, he preferred Camavinga who had just recovered to Arda besides he preferred Endrick to Rodrygo in choosing the starting up, from this composition alone Real Madrid was wrong in choosing the starting up in this match.

But in my opinion Real Madrid would rather lose in this match, so Ancelotti will think that football does not only rely on individual skills. The pattern and rhythm of the game must also be regulated, if the players are stuck, then change them. Don't keep relying on miracles, because miracles don't come in every match.

So Real Madrid must make this match a lesson, especially in choosing the starting line up because this month Real Madrid will face a tough match in the UCL against Dortmund and at the end of the month the Elclasico match. So if Ancelotti doesn't evaluate from this defeat they will lose again in the next match.

[Baki202]

Well, one of the things I like about Mbappé is that he is a player who tries to imitate what CR7 did from the beginning. I don't know if you have seen some of his plays, some of the dribbles he does, even the gestures he has, he has always imitated CR7 and it has worked out well for him, so if he has CR7's attitude he can do very well at Madrid. Of course Mbappé has his own style and he himself can make the difference , but the important thing is that he already has a model to follow and that is good I am sure that in that sense he will not fail.

Mbappe trying to imitate CR7 is not bad and that is exactly what we want for him but is it ready to actually fit in thay shoes and give us all the confidence and display that CR7 was given to there and some of the dribbles was done couple times mbappe was supposed to be a treasure players in Madrid, but he lowers the expectations of everyone because from the beginning of this season we expected everything to be hot but it is not going according to what we are expecting, but I still believe that a lot of things is still going to happen in Real Madrid but it might not be this season. But no matter when it happens we are ready to wait because when everything starts then we are going to be unstoppable. Mbappe is a super star and I want us to be patience with the performance of the whole club.

[Leviathan.007]

What is the point of imitation when he Kylian Mbappe can not achieve half of what Cristiano Ronaldo achieved for Real Madrid? Even Endrick will do better that Kylian Mbappe in the long run the way I see it. Kylian Mbappe should be himself and play his football, it's good that have a great idol no arguments but yougins should be themselves and not try to fill up into his shoes. Since he joined Real Madrid, they've not been so good like they was last season. The main reason is the absence of Toni Kroos who retired, I can see why they all want to sign up Rodri from Manchester City.

Mbappe is doing his job, he has started scoring goals, if he is not doing it the way others expected, it is not his problem. It is not only the absence of Kroos, although this has become a noticeable loss for Real, Real have injuries, in the midfield and Modric is not so young, they need to go through this. And Mbappe will be compared with all the forwards who were in the team before him, it will be difficult to do without it, but the problem of Real is not only Mbappe, you can not evaluate the whole team in the context of one player who has just joined the team.

I see people still talking about Mbappe and his performance in Real Madrid while that's wrong and I think Mbappe is not having a bad performance at all. In fact, Mbappe had a different team and different strategies in the past when he was playing at PSG and he needs some more time to get back to the good form and have a better performance in Real Madrid as he was performing in PSG.
Also, the other problem with Mbappe is about his position in the team and Vini jr the best place they can use Mbappe is on the left side where Vini jr is playing.
