La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[Ryu_Ar1]

However, I believe we are going to end up seeing Real Madrid still end up winning this game, they are just too good not to. They are also close to Barcelona, they can't lose points now, they need to win every game until they catch up to Barcelona, otherwise the points gap would grow and Barcelona will play Alaves, which they should be winning.

Maintaining a 3 points margin at this time must still be done by Madrid because after all this can be an important situation to keep the competition under control for La Liga especially now that Barcelona is still in pretty good shape in the Flick era so Madrid must still try to get 3 points in every match that is done.

The first half is almost over and Madrid are still a goal up thanks to Valverde in the first 15 minutes but their attacking flexibility in this first half is still not very good because of the many chances they have only 1 on target they get and I think this is not very good for Madrid.

On the other hand im still quite questioning why Don Carlo is still trying the 4-4-2 scheme which in the end in the last few matches this scheme was not very effective but maybe there are several reasons behind this all just in terms of conditions on the field.   IMO it would be better to do the scheme in 4-3-1-2 rather than 4-4-2 as it is today.

Indeed, this match will be tough, both teams are trying to get 3 points. But in theory Real Madrid ideally can win this match, it will be unacceptable if Real Madrid fails to win again in this match. So far Real Madrid looks quite dominating the match although Villareal has more chances in scoring goals. FYI, Real Madrid is leading with 1 goal now. Valverde opens the score, Modric is the man who delivers the assist. As a fan of Real Madrid, I'm quite confident with Real Madrid performance.

Real Madrid played well in the first half and the difference in quality between the two teams was very visible. Different squad depths create different ways of building attacks and defense, so so far I agree that Real Madrid will close the first half with a win.

Federico Valverde's goal from outside the box was impressive, it's typical of him. Kylian Mbappe has struggled to capitalize on his chances so far, but I believe he will score before the game is over. There are several things that Madrid need to watch out for in this match, I mean Villarreal is very likely to be able to score goals through counter attacks or crosses. They are dangerous in these two attack schemes, so Real Madrid must be careful if they don't want to concede.

Exactly real madrid dominate the first half very well and they should continue like this in the second half so that they should add some goals in the game, because one goal difference is not really good they need to add goal in the game because Villarreal are trying to score goal in the game but madrid defends are really doing well on the pitch, tonight will be a three-point win for Real Madrid if they can continue as they do in the first half, Ancelotti is doing great But as the first half goes, Madrid as indicate that they are the favorites of winning the game, getting three points, and continuing to chase the league table. Barcelona are Playing tomorrow against Alaves and Barcelona can be the favorite of winning the game but anything can happens if they can draw the match and giving Madrid more chance of topping the league table.

I am honestly not sure if Hansi Flick will be able to hold onto the first position of the table for a long period of time. I still suspect that La Blaugrana is not going to be as consistent as they should be. At least not consistent enough for being the champion of La Liga. Actually expecting the new coach Flick to win the La Liga title is probably a little too much to ask. I am not saying that it is impossible. But what I am saying is looking at the circumstances and also the finances of Barça, it does look really hard.

Also looking at the squad of Carlo Ancelotti, one cannot help but think that Los Blancos is going to be the La Liga winner. But I guess we have seen strange things happen in football. So even though I think The Catalan Giants have less chances to win the La Liga title, however the chance is never zero.

By the way, first half done, result: Madrid 1 - 0 Villarreal

A beautiful goal from Valverde on the 14th minutes made the difference in the first half. It was similar goal to this that Valverde scored last week and I never knew that he has a powerful right foot. Vini was on his best form as he was penetrating Villareal's defense with his tribbles. Mbappe on the other hand was unable to find the back of the net because he hasn't gotten a clear chance.

Villareal was in charge of ball possession, and they lost some good opportunities to equalize the goal before the first half ended. Pepe tried his best to see how his team will get a goal in the first half, but his effort was denied by the top corner bar after a good header. The second half will determine if Real Madrid would score more goals because they look sharper than Villareal in attack.

Madrid starting eleven has been released, Mbappe and Vinicius lead the front line using a 4-1-2-1-2 formation, perhaps this is an experimental formation that Ancelotti wants to try, especially to stabilize the attack line by focusing on Mbappe and Vini so that Bellingham will be a shadow striker in the middle because the midfielders are handled by Modric and Valverde. This rotation should be effective because it provides a fuller left and right side without having to compete with Mbappe and Vini.

Though I do love it better when the trio (Rodrygo, Mbappe and Vinicius) are in the same game while Real Madrid game is relatively going well for them while Villarreal are still fighting, I hope Real madrid can add more goals early to kill their fighting spirit, with goal(s) from Mbappe while also expecting Rodrygo to be given a chance today and I hope he just be one hell of a super sun as often as before.

But what I am saying is looking at the circumstances and also the finances of Barça, it does look really hard.

Barcelona’s financial situations have nothing to do with the team’s performance as we have seen from the beginning of the season. Barcelona under Hensi Flick started very well and has just lost one match so far in the campaign, they are three points ahead of Real Madrid if they keep winning their games which I think they can because of their last game was a mistake because the coach underrated Osasuna in the beginning of the game.
Nevertheless, I am doubting Hensi Flick, and with the young squad he have in the Barcelona squad, I think if injuries didn’t affected them, they can try to win the Laliga title.

Yes, you are right, Real Madrid have good squad that can win title but they lack solid defenses. And I think their squad depth is not as good as expected especially defensive wise, but they can get all they want and can win the title if Barcelona fails along the line because with the way I am seeing this Barcelona squad, if injury will not disturb them, they can also defeat Madrid.

Real Madrid needs more goals to be sure the victory is sealed, they might be leading but it's not the end of the match even though they're more dominating it's just about 60 plus minus and there's still more time for their opponents to equalize the goal so to be on a more safer side, I think Real Madrid needs to try as much as possible to find the net again and make it 2-0 or 3 if possible or better still defend the 1-0 they're leading. But I think they don't need to be comfortable with just 1-0 cause Villarreal could utilise just one good chance to equalize and park the box and by then it might be too late for Real Madrid to score another and get full three points. However I think the players understands that 1-0 is not enough cause I see how well they're trying to create chances to another goal if not that Villarreal defenders are a little tough and making it slightly difficult to score but I feel another goal would occur in the match and hopefully it would be from Real Madrid cause Villarreal are not looking very dangerous at the moment. Oh what a goal from Vinicius Jnr, he scored even before I finished stating that Real Madrid are the most favourites to score another goal. So fantastic, 2-0 is enough to claim the 3 points against a less dangerous Villarreal team.

The second half was no better than the first, so the intensity of the game was different. Villarreal are trying to develop the game, but so far they seem to be failing to find goals. Kylian Mbappe was replaced with Rodrygo coming on, then Vinicius with a powerful shot found the Villarreal goal for Real Madrid's second goal.

Real Madrid have much better players than Villarreal, so I wouldn't wonder why Villarreal lost. Winning 2-0 over their opponents clearly makes Real Madrid more comfortable controlling the game, they just need to maintain it while creat up opportunities to score additional goals.

The question should probably be, should Ancelotti be experimenting with a fixture against a team that are seated below them(Real madrid) ?. If Villarreal eventually scores, hope Madrid knows that they will be in same point with Villarreal?(I'm not even sure of who will be sitting at the second position on GD). Though, I am not watching the game currently, but I will be joining soon(maybe at the 80th minute). The Mbappe, Vini and Rodrigo's combo is what I have enjoyed from their past few games. Maybe Ancelotti isn't really looking at the area where he needs to try new things. Well, let's see what the outcome will be in today's game, and hope they don't disappoint like what happened during the week.

Madrid just got their second goal in the game and i see that they aren't doin any bad in this game though with the statistics Madrid isn't totally dominating's but leading by the goals so as to win the game which is the most important thing is something they have been able to achieve and are getting it already, its important for them to get the three points off this game at the end of the day.  Madrid is most definitely goin to win this game as time is already far spent in the game already and they are still leading by two goals having their game in check though their opponent is out with good attempts.

I think the Real Madrid team is just being very lucky lately in the league games because I don't think they are doing a good job in their performance, they were able to score two goals but their game play is not getting better because they hardly dominate games anymore even getting goal attempts has also become a big problem for the Real Madrid team.

Yeah I know that getting the desired results is the most important thing and they have the 3 points in the bag already but can you see that you are not going to be settled until you hear the final whistle whenever they are playing? I can't believe they would play a 90 minutes game but they managed to make 2 attempts from the beginning of the match to the full time this is not good, Ancelotti really need to work on the performance of his players, 90+minutes and Real Madrid still leads by 2:0, they are winners already.

[BITCOIN4X]

Alright, the game is over guys. Real Madrid managed to secure their victory and ended the match with a 2-0 lead over visiting Villarreal. Unfortunately, in the last few minutes Real Madrid had to lose their best right back Dani Carvajal due injury. Based on replays, it looks like he has a knee injury that we don't yet know the severity of. But hopefully it's not too serious.

Somehow I saw him kick the ball so hard while being blocked by one of the Villarreal players. This victory was clearly very expensive because Carvajal is one of the most important players in the Real Madrid squad. If Carvajal has to be absent for several weeks, then this is the time for Lucas Vázquez or another player to fill the void.

[rahmad2nd]

I am honestly not sure if Hansi Flick will be able to hold onto the first position of the table for a long period of time. I still suspect that La Blaugrana is not going to be as consistent as they should be. At least not consistent enough for being the champion of La Liga. Actually expecting the new coach Flick to win the La Liga title is probably a little too much to ask. I am not saying that it is impossible. But what I am saying is looking at the circumstances and also the finances of Barça, it does look really hard.

Also looking at the squad of Carlo Ancelotti, one cannot help but think that Los Blancos is going to be the La Liga winner. But I guess we have seen strange things happen in football. So even though I think The Catalan Giants have less chances to win the La Liga title, however the chance is never zero.

La Liga has only been running for eight weeks, there are still many matches to be played by all teams including Barcelona. Currently Barcelona is at the top of the standings, even though it has 21 points the same as Madrid. However, if Barca wins tomorrow against Alaves, then they will maintain the points gap with Real Madrid. For now, no one can guarantee that Hansi Flick will be able to maintain his team's position at the top of the standings, unless Barca has a significant points gap. Moreover, if we talk about champions, they are fighting for it even with their limitations. What is certain is that under Hansi Flick's guidance, Barcelona has performed much better than before. They are very productive in scoring goals, Flick is also quite skilled in having many ways, strategies and tactics. IMO, Barcelona has a chance to win the La Liga title. Moreover, if all injured players have recovered. Thus, Flick has enough options to rotate his players. To ensure whether or not they are able to, let time decide. Talking about Madrid, as we agree that they have the most competitive team in this competition. their chances of winning La Liga are higher than any other team. however, we also can't be sure whether Madrid will be consistent throughout the match. well, it's interesting for us to look forward to throughout this season.

If Carvajal has to be absent for several weeks, then this is the time for Lucas Vázquez or another player to fill the void.

The injury of Carvajal today is definitely concerning especially, given how important he is to the team with his big experience. Losing him for long period could have a big bad impct on the defense, especially if it turns out to be a serious knee issue. It’s tough to see a key player like him without many choice to replace his position and his importance.

I can’t believe my bad luck lately, I lost two bets on Real Madrid just recently when they drew against Atletico and then lost against Lille. I thought the odds at 1.25 were not worth the risk compared to their shape lately, also with Villarreal performing well this season, I hesitated and stayed back. I didn’t watch the whole match of today, but it seems like Mbappe still struggling to find the right position to perform well and score.

Also, with Ancelotti's recent results, do you think leaving from the club is a crucial? It seems like the pressure is on him, and I'm curious how important it is for the team's future to compete in UCL. What do you think?

[tiCeR]

La Liga is the same and if you wan to let them know what the real way is, Mbappe has failed at the end of the day. I thought he would score much more than he now did. I know that the standard excuse is that it is a new league and he will need some time to adapt to the new environment, but a superstar of his calibre shouldn't need several months to get going in Madrid. He is playing for one of the best teams in the world and yet he can't play his best game.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Also looking at the squad of Carlo Ancelotti, one cannot help but think that Los Blancos is going to be the La Liga winner. But I guess we have seen strange things happen in football.

Carlo's squad is phenomenal and that's the most important thing...The inconsistency in league teams is real and there's nothing a manger or player can do to oppose that. You just have to understand that sometimes, you're gonna lose no matter how hard you try. Carlo can't afford to bear the loss of pairing mbappe, jrn and rodrygo in a one match.

However, if Barca wins tomorrow against Alaves, then they will maintain the points gap with Real Madrid. For now, no one can guarantee that Hansi Flick will be able to maintain his team's position at the top of the standings, unless Barca has a significant points gap.

If this was supposed to be a prediction test, I'd say alaves have a greater advantage over Barca. The lost their last two matches and I don't think they' can afford to lose again -- atleast not 3 times in a row. On the other hand, Liverpool isn't just gonna watch them trash their records after conceiving alot of goal

[Docnaster]

La Liga is the sam and if you wan tto let them know what the real way is, Mbappe has failed at the end of the day. I thought he would score much more than he would.

The fact that Kylian Mbappe is known as a player who's very prolific in front of goals doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to score in every game he plays. The France national team captain recently returned from injury had was also involved in the build up to Vinicius Jr's goal. Real Madrid today didn't score to many goals like many had predicted but scoring two goals without conceding 1 isn't a bad result. As a Real Madrid fan, that's a great result before the commencement of the international break and I think the manager was very pleased as well. The sad moment of the game was when Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal was taken off because of an injury that's expected to sidelined him for a long time.

Mbappe seems to need more time to be able to appear impressive and score goals in every match, he doesn't need to force it too much, the expected goals will come by themselves in other matches. But one thing to be grateful for, Mbappe avoided serious injuries, which could hamper all his ambitions. The most important thing is to get full points after losing to Lille surprisingly, Villarreal looks capable of providing fierce resistance, even though in the end they had to bow down to the defending champions. It must be admitted, not all players will appear impressive in their first season, as Bellingham did last season. With a number of players who have a more dominant attacking character, they can score goals every time there is a chance, without having to prioritize Mbappe. At PSG Mbappe is more prioritized, therefore he looks very productive there, everything is different when he joins Real Madrid. In addition, Real Madrid victory came at a high price, when they lost team captain Dani Carvajal.

[Zigabel]

La Liga is the sam and if you wan tto let them know what the real way is, Mbappe has failed at the end of the day. I thought he would score much more than he would.

Don't you think it's seemingly early to be talking about all of this already, mbappe is apparently doing his very best and Madrid hasn't been faced with any less of challenges, you should also understand he's not the only player in the team and wouldn't be the only person to make all the goals and win the game,  he will be needing his team mates to assist him and if they are challenged with injuries and some inconsistencies, it will affect his productive rate, so mainly that could be one of the challenges he may be facing at the times, just maybe Madrid may bounce back and all of this would be something we will not be thinking about again as they will make good attempts at all the prestigious trophies.

[TelolettOm]

It seems that this time, Ancelotti is quite alert but still confident that his team can beat Villareal.

Although I will be predicting a Real Madrid win today but this isn’t going to be na easy game for them, Villarreal have been that club the usually frustrates Real Madrid all the time.

Exactly, and they really won the match,
score 2 - 0
strengthen their position at number 2 standing, still below Barcelona, ​​while Barcelona has not played yet, they will play against Barcelona, ​​and I'm sure they will also win.

Though I do love it better when the trio (Rodrygo, Mbappe and Vinicius) are in the same game while Real Madrid game is relatively going well for them while Villarreal are still fighting, I hope Real madrid can add more goals early to kill their fighting spirit, with goal(s) from Mbappe while also expecting Rodrygo to be given a chance today and I hope he just be one hell of a super sun as often as before.

The second half was no better than the first, so the intensity of the game was different. Villarreal are trying to develop the game, but so far they seem to be failing to find goals. Kylian Mbappe was replaced with Rodrygo coming on, then Vinicius with a powerful shot found the Villarreal goal for Real Madrid's second goal.

The presence of Mbappe does provide some changes in position and match time. But specifically in this match, Ancelotti seemed to pull Mbappe in a faster minute. Yes, Mbappe's contribution this time has not been that optimal, no goal, no assists. But his effort to be more solid has started to look good again. Hopefully, more goals will be created later.

Again, Ancelotti has to worry about a series of injuries to his players. And this is also a very unfortunate thing. Really, for some reason Real Madrid is really unlucky to get more players injured this time.
