La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[KingsDen]

Over the past two or three seasons I will say the El Classico has been a bit one sided if you ask me. With Real Madrid been the favourites over these period because of Barcelona poor performances and state,

This is not correct. I can remember very well that under Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona did much better than Real Madrid when they meet. Xavi's problem was in European competitions and not against Real Madrid.

Xavi Hernandez won 5 out of the 7 meetings with Real Madrid ever he took over as the Barcelona head coach in 2021. Below are the notable wins;

• March 2022: Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabéu in La Liga.
• January 2023: Barcelona also won the Spanish Super Cup with a 3-1 victory. I remember this match like it was yesterday.
• Also, March 2023: Barcelona triumphed 1-0 in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg and later 2-1 in La Liga.

I wonder where you drive your statistics from.

Barcelona are going to Real Madrid home in top to play this match, and we are still expecting Barcelona to win or even draw. I can deny the fact that Barcelona are in good form, but the Real Madrid we are talking about, seriously, will find it difficult to get Real Madrid are going to make the match more difficult for Barcelona because being at home is another motivation aside from the fact that they are strong even in away matches.

I think it's too early to discuss the first El Classico of the season even when I know that football fans across the globe are very eager to talk about all important game. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona will play two fixtures each before that very day. For Barcelona, they'll host Sevilla when the Spanish La Liga returns next weekend before hosting Bayern Munich 3 days later in the UCL. Their visit to Real Madrid will an epic game without doubt but before then, a lot of things that might affect the result of that game might happen such as injury to either of the clubs important players.

I just got this information now from my news feed.

Atletico Madrid stadium has been renamed " Riyadh Air Metropolitano”.

The club has signed a contract with the Saudi airline that could bring in between €250M-€300M in total.

If this report happens to be true, then it will be the third time that Atletico Madrid will be renaming their new stadium since they started using it in 2017. It was initially named Wanda Metropolitano before they changed the name to Civitas Metropolitano and now a new name is been reported to be the stadium's official name. I understand that they need to sign lucrative deals in other to make good fortunes but that shouldn't make them to be renaming their stadium at intervals

It is a good deal in my opinion. You just have to name something for a good amount of money. Nothing spent, 100% gain. Few people will notice the difference, most people will call it Atlético Madrid stadium or Metropolitano just like Etihad stadium, it is simply Manchester City stadium for many people and the club will keep the money.

[Zigabel]

This is not only about Ancelotti and Mbappe, still more precisely we judge that the Real Madrid team is almost perfect with the quality of the players they have today, it's just that they are currently lacking in good registration among players as well as the cooperation is still not perfect, real Madrid will go crazy again if the players already have very compact cooperation as before.

The quality of player Madrid has got at this time is and has never been a problem to them, some reshuffling were done after the last season and these players are yet to adjust just perfectly yet and that has brought rise to certain conflicts amongst the players tho not such that is affecting their form or their psychology but some how their positioning and now few cases of injuries added up to the whole situation so it's been a whole lot for Madrid and they are trying to get over it which is obviously not an easy move and they will likely get pass this as they are always known for how well they are able to handle things as this always.

I can deny the fact that Barcelona are in good form, but the Real Madrid we are talking about, seriously, will find it difficult to get Real Madrid are going to make the match more difficult for Barcelona because being at home is another motivation aside from the fact that they are strong even in away matches.

In this match, I will predict Real Madrid to win Barcelona but not draw. We all know how good Real Madrid is, and at this point they will be playing at home. They are still fighting for the first position in the table. They will try their best to secure the 3 points so that any match after this one they will try to win and get ahead of Barcelona in the table. 

In the ElClasico match, of course these two teams will definitely fight tooth and nail to win the ElClasico match. and I also see that Barcelona is currently performing well which will definitely overwhelm Real Madrid. Yes, of course, because playing at the Santiago Bernabeu will make Real Madrid appear more confident and enthusiastic and it will definitely be difficult for Barcelona to beat Real Madrid because Real Madrid at home or away is always good.

Currently, many of Real Madrid's key players are injured, such as Vinicius, Carvajal and others, which of course means that some people will have the potential to predict a draw for the result of the El Clasico match. but I have the same prediction as you because I predict that Real Madrid will have great potential to win because of course, although many of Real Madrid's good players are injured, of course Real Madrid still has other key players and of course Real Madrid's tier 1 and tier 2 players of course. so good that Real Madrid will definitely perform well even though some of their players are injured.

Yes, Real Madrid, which is currently lagging behind Barcelona, ​​will certainly make Real Madrid try as hard as possible to shift Barcelona's position. So of course, personally, in that match, I will bet on Real Madrid winning. But yes, if for example Real Madrid draws or loses, of course we will see that Barcelona will definitely be the strongest candidate to become champions this season.

No one knows about the fate of a club in the future Real Madrid which was initially favored with a perfect squad but unfortunately they have to experience bad luck some of their key players are injured and the coach has not been able to find the right strategy to fill the players who were left I am quite sad to see the current state of Real Madrid they have good resources and stable finances but the problems they are experiencing are not currently not an easy thing for the club and Ancelotti was forced to rack his brains so that Real Madrid can still appear strong even though some of his key players are injured, but this is not the first time for Ancelotti to handle Real Madrid in this situation last season they also experienced a storm of injuries but Ancelotti was able to handle it well hopefully this season he can do it too even though Barcelona's form continues to improve and will provide fierce competition to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have added Mbappe to their squad this season. The addition of Mbappe has forced Madrid to make major changes to their match tactics and formation. And it is normal that it will take some time for the players to adapt to the completely new formation and tactics. This is why Madrid's performance was somewhat erratic.

Madrid made the right decision due to the addition of Mbappe to the team. The gap in the team is expected to be filled quickly. Since he is a legendary player his strategy will definitely be different. In the light of his experience, there is also a natural change in strategy. Moreover, it is true that a good player cannot give his best just by joining a new club. This requires time and patience. At the beginning of the season, Madrid did not perform as expected, but currently the club is moving towards improvement. At this time, Barcelona's only rival is Real. I believe Real will occupy Barcelona's place at the moment. At this point in the points table, Real is behind by only 3 points. Next October 27, Real will try to level on points in the table or they will fall behind. Which team is the best will be proven at that time.

Real Madrid is always looking for classy and skilled players who can fill some of the gaps in the Real Madrid squad. It was the right decision for Mbappe to choose Real Madrid as his new club in the 2024/2025 season. After Mbappe's arrival, many changes have been seen since the beginning of the season. Mbappe has scored many goals even though he has not fully adapted to his new club.
I am very sure that with a new name in the Madrid squad, it will be able to shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. At the end of the season, let's see together which team will win the Spanish League.

[Pandorak]

[...] This is going to be a new chapter for the club as they will have more money to get good players for the club and manage the team properly. Funny enough the Riyadh Air Metropolitano has been sponsoring Atletico since last season but it was just revealed suddenly admist the new contract signing on Wednesday. The contract is said to last until 2033

It's not big money to bring in top players, but at least with that money they have more power to bring in some players in the next transfer window. Atletico are currently in third place, above them are Barcelona and Real Madrid, with that money can we expect them to at least finish in second place?

The answer is of course no, because their competitors will definitely be more prepared in the upcoming transfer window, especially for Real Madrid who lost many players & i think their squad depth is still lacking.

Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world and indeed this is the destination of many top players in the world so it is not difficult for Real Madrid to get quality players.
And of course for Mbappe it is the right step when he chooses to join the Real Madrid team, this will be better in Mbappe's career, although currently receiving a lot of criticism but I think it is common because Mbappe is still new and needs time to adapt.

Real Madrid is currently in trouble because many of their core players are injured while Barcelona has rediscovered its best performance after making many changes this season so I think it is not easy for Real Madrid this season to defend its title, the competition between the two teams will be quite fierce of course this season.

After flourishing in September, Mbappe has not been at his best since October. It is easy to affirm that Kylian Mbappe has not met expectations since moving to Real Madrid. Ancelotti has enough experience and wisdom to promptly find the best solution with Mbappe. Let's wait and see if Mbappe is right in choosing Real Madrid. And there is only one thing that can answer that: 90 minutes on the pitch. Mbappe should remember he needs more time, but the season doesn't give anyone time to wait.

I am very sure that with a new name in the Madrid squad, it will be able to shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. At the end of the season, let's see together which team will win the Spanish League.

The competition for the top spot in the first half of the season is extremely dramatic and exciting between the two arch-rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona. There were no surprises in round 9 of La Liga, as both Real Madrid and Barcelona won to continue the race. However, it is not only Real Madrid who has to pay a high price for these victories. While Real Madrid had a headache when Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao, and Andriy Lunin all had different problems, Barcelona also just lost Ferran Torres. And the race between the two giants of the bullfighting country is returning to fairness. They will continue to create equal competition for the tournament to become more attractive.

The quality of the players owned by Barcelona is also not too bad because even though they do not have the depth of the squad as good as Real Madrid, their performance has been quite consistent so far.
The competition this season is indeed very competitive because the challenger clubs always give their best. Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been rivals in La Liga because both are very dominant teams.
Mbappe's presence makes the front line more dangerous for Real Madrid and maybe we can see his performance getting better in the middle of the season.

Few people will notice the difference, most people will call it Atlético Madrid stadium or Metropolitano just like Etihad stadium, it is simply Manchester City stadium for many people and the club will keep the money.

At least it will benefit the club's income by changing the name of the stadium, not only ATMs do it, there are many clubs that change the name of their stadium for club income, the money that will be obtained can at least be used for club facilities and academy needs or buying players, but there is 1 club that is still strong and does not want to change the name of its stadium like Real Madrid, because we know that Real Madrid's money is very strong, so only clubs that have financial problems rent out their stadiums for club income.

Next October 27, Real will try to level on points in the table or they will fall behind. Which team is the best will be proven at that time.

Mbappe is a world-class player who has made many achievements with his club, so it is natural for Real Madrid to bring in Mbappe. The reason is, Real Madrid is always able to bring in star players. Good examples include Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Beckham, Eto'o, and many others. So in essence, the Real Madrid analysis team is very clever in selecting the players they bring in and apart from that, Real Madrid's finances are always stable. That's why Real Madrid is always able to bring in great and very expensive players like Mbappe.
Mbappe is currently unable to show his best performance. But sooner or later Mbappe will definitely be able to bring out all his best abilities for Real Madrid.

Then talking about Real Madrid's match against Barcelona, ​​I personally am quite worried about Real Madrid. The reason is that currently many Real Madrid players are injured. For example Courtois, Lunin, Vinicius, Militao, Alaba, Carvajal, Brahim Diaz and Dani Cebalos. So with this I am a little worried about Real Madrid, especially now that both Real Madrid goalkeepers are injured. So, for example, Real Madrid's injured players have not recovered during the match against Barcelona. Most likely Real Madrid will lose to Barcelona. Because currently Barcelona's performance cannot be underestimated, so if Real Madrid plays with a less than optimal squad, I'm sure Real Madrid will have difficulty getting points.

I am very sure that with a new name in the Madrid squad, it will be able to shift Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. At the end of the season, let's see together which team will win the Spanish League.

Mbappe arrival to Madrid will indeed have a big impact on the team although so far we have not seen it with good performance, but with the speed, skill and ability possessed by Mbappe of course gradually he will make a significant contribution to Madrid, I think with the front line strengthened by players such as Vinícius, Bellingham, Mbappe and Rodrygo has clearly made Madrid attack even more frightening, but so far their strong attacking line has not been supported by a strong defense after the storm of injuries has hit Madrid at this time.

The quality of the players owned by Barcelona is also not too bad because even though they do not have the depth of the squad as good as Real Madrid, their performance has been quite consistent so far.
The competition this season is indeed very competitive because the challenger clubs always give their best. Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been rivals in La Liga because both are very dominant teams.
Mbappe's presence makes the front line more dangerous for Real Madrid and maybe we can see his performance getting better in the middle of the season.

In my opinion, Barcelona also cannot be underestimated, although they currently have bad financial problems, but so far it has not had much effect on their performance in the match, Madrid have a good squad depth with many players being bought, but in fact Barcelona looks more compact and consistent in considering them to rely more on young players and the academy at the moment, young players such as Pedri, yamal, olmo and Gavi continue to develop so with the experience of senior players such as Lewandowski making Barcelona balanced , this season competition will be very interesting with the fierce competition between Madrid and Barcelona, but the coach strategy to make the player performance to continue to be consistent until the end of the season will be the main factor for them to win La Liga.

The answer is of course no, because their competitors will definitely be more prepared in the upcoming transfer window, especially for Real Madrid who lost many players & i think their squad depth is still lacking.

In my opinion, with that much money they can focus on the academy team and also the existing players and use the money not only to spend it, because Atl. Madrid also has great players but unfortunately they are not stable in playing whether winning, losing or drawing, in my opinion with that much money they should target a well-known coach to create a new strategy in their camp, because if you look at the squad they have there is nothing lacking but in my opinion Atl. Madrid is too obsessed with the coach so that their achievements are lacking and currently they are in 3rd position and yesterday they were held to a draw by Real Sociedad.

In my opinion, apart from investing in better players, they also take care of or facilitate their academy players so that young players can easily enter the squad, currently they rarely promote academy players and in my opinion they should focus on that because we know that young players from Spain are currently quite good in their development if so they will be able to make that money without having to waste money buying many players and spending it on things that should not be.

[SmartCharpa]

Barcelona are going to Real Madrid home in top to play this match, and we are still expecting Barcelona to win or even draw. I can deny the fact that Barcelona are in good form, but the Real Madrid we are talking about, seriously, will find it difficult to get Real Madrid are going to make the match more difficult for Barcelona because being at home is another motivation aside from the fact that they are strong even in away matches.

In this match, I will predict Real Madrid to win Barcelona but not draw. We all know how good Real Madrid is, and at this point they will be playing at home. They are still fighting for the first position in the table. They will try their best to secure the 3 points so that any match after this one they will try to win and get ahead of Barcelona in the table. 

I don't think we should jump to any conclusions about whether Real Madrid will beat Barcelona just yet. The Barcelona players won't be on the field to watch Real Madrid score goals, they have a strong defense that will prevent Real Madrid from scoring, and Barcelona has a sharp striker who can score as well. Since Barcelona has played so well and won so many of their games by scoring goals, I must say that I'm afraid of them against any opponents in La Liga this season, we've also seen how they destroyed the team Real Madrid has struggled to play against.

However, I do not believe Real Madrid will win the first El Clasico game because we do not know when some of their injured players will be available. On the other hand, we are yet to see working together among Real Madrid players, they aren't working as a team as they did last season, this is not the mighty Real Madrid of the previous season. I hope they don't lose to Barcelona since the Flick player can beat Real Madrid this season.

At this time I have to say that Barcelona and Real Madrid have both experienced changes although the most visible are the players in the Real Madrid squad. And in general, Mbappe did not make the wrong decision about it even though he has not shown many achievements at the beginning of this season with Real Madrid. But over time, Mbappe will definitely be more solid in the Real Madrid squad because Ancelotti still has the ability to educate the players in the Real Madrid team this season so that Real Madrid still deserves to be considered strong in La Liga this season.

[Inwestour]

In my opinion, apart from investing in better players, they also take care of or facilitate their academy players so that young players can easily enter the squad, currently they rarely promote academy players and in my opinion they should focus on that because we know that young players from Spain are currently quite good in their development if so they will be able to make that money without having to waste money buying many players and spending it on things that should not be.

This is too long a path that Real cannot afford, they need results now, so they give players from their academy a chance to play somewhere on loan, get some experience, and whoever can prove themselves will get a chance to play in the main team. The most important thing for Real is the result, and for this they will attract the best players they need. If they need a reliable defender now, then I doubt that they can get him from their academy.

[RaltcoinsB]

This is not only about Ancelotti and Mbappe, still more precisely we judge that the Real Madrid team is almost perfect with the quality of the players they have today, it's just that they are currently lacking in good registration among players as well as the cooperation is still not perfect, real Madrid will go crazy again if the players already have very compact cooperation as before.

The quality of player Madrid has got at this time is and has never been a problem to them, some reshuffling were done after the last season and these players are yet to adjust just perfectly yet and that has brought rise to certain conflicts amongst the players tho not such that is affecting their form or their psychology but some how their positioning and now few cases of injuries added up to the whole situation so it's been a whole lot for Madrid and they are trying to get over it which is obviously not an easy move and they will likely get pass this as they are always known for how well they are able to handle things as this always.

Real Madrid is a good team and they have never had problems with their players in the past. Real Madrid's main problem was managing their star players. Ancelotti managed to do that last year and seems to have managed to do it this year as well, but he still hasn't been able to stop Mbappe's selfishness. Mbappe wastes too many opportunities and he hasn't started his Real Madrid career the way he wanted. Maybe Carlo should warn him to think about the team a little more.
