Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 - page 57. (Read 525218 times)

Barcelona failed in the Champions League, they must take positive points from it, they can focus on La Liga and maintain their unbeaten record in La Liga this season. With a champion without defeat, it will be an important record that will be in decades.

The two big teams from La Liga will face teams that are positioned below the standings board in the next match day. They probably will not get any meaningful difficulties when seen from a very different comparison of the composition of players they have with their opponents. Barcelona is very tough this season but they have to lose the chance to get the UCL title because they have been knocked out of the prestigious tournament in continental Europe.

Anyone betting on the Copa del Rey final tonight between Sevilla and Barcelona? I am thinking BTTS & over 2.5 goals. In my opinion this match could go either way and picking from 1x2 is kinda risky. What do you think?

Ronaldo is always the game changer, every time Madrid needs him he stands up and delivers. At times you wonder whether he's phenomenal or the defenders are just poor. Real Madrid really need to start delivering, they have been absolutely poor this season. I don't think they'll finish second, fourth looks more of a reality.

Eibar have failed to score in their previous two home games and now they are in the middle of the table with 16 points over relegation zone and with 5 games left they already secured their season but the team should show some improvement for their fans after poor performance in the past couple games so i expect an intresting game for them against Getafe as the visitors is sitting 9th with hopes to finish 7th as Sevilla only 3 points they’ve just got 2 victories in a row and now they are searching for that away win they only collected 3 wins from their 16 away games but that should not stop them from getting positive results tomorrow so they can keep pressuring Sevilla so i'm going for over 2.5 goals for this match.

I thought Real Madrid will taste defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao as they were leading the score card till the 87 th minute and Real needed Cristiano Ronaldo to score the goal to draw the match and he has scored a goal in his last 12 matches which is awesome, this matches exposed some weakness in the mid field and the Clasico is an important match that could decide the champions.

Barcelona had a red card in the game so is this why Celta Vigo scored at 82' of the game?
I noticed messi was sitting on the bench for the first half. But then saw him when I started to watch for the last few minutes.
What a strange game because they sat off all the big three players including messi before the game started.
I was upset because that was the only one on my parlay that lost today.
Had them to win for over 2.5 goals.

Maybe zidane will stay, I think he will ask for a raise because he can say successful with real madrid for the first season. It would be different if zidane could not improve the real madrid performance in the field. They will not fire zidane and zidane will not resign I think zidane will continue to next season in La Liga

over 2.5 goals was a safe bet, both teams always score a lot of goals in Balaídos.
and my prediction was right, Barcelona dropped points and the game ended 2-2 

not a fan but...
I doubt Zidane would get sacked at the end of the season, Florentino Perez wouldn't be so disrespectful to a club legend like Zizou just because he had a bad season, the consequences would be massive (key players, as well as the fans, would voice their opinions most likely against the decision to sack ZZ, and the press would create a massive shitshow which, in Spain, is absolutely toxic to the point that it actually affects the day-to-day activities in top clubs like Real or Barca). Zidane made history with the team by winning 2 champions leagues in a row and 5 trophies in one season (first time for the club), he won over the RM dressing room and the players (like Ramos, Marcelo, CR7, you know, the core of the group) are happy under his management (remember Mou? there were rumours about him "fighting" with the players all the time, and with Benitez there was always a controversy because the players didn't want him...Zidane arrived and the everything is quiet), and the fans love him...how can you sack this guy?

If Zidane fails to reach the CL final, then this season would be a complete disaster. For a team like Real Madrid, not winning a single trophy is completely unacceptable, almost an embarrassment to the club's history, so firing the coach would the the right call, but given how much Zidane has accomplished in such a short time, there's a high chance that this time the manager (in this case, Zidane) will be given a second shot and he will stay in the club for another season.

Like always, Barca had difficult game against Celta away. And with that squad that they played tonight I think 2:2 isn't a bad result. It was strange to watch Barca playing without main players while Celta played great tonight. As mostly predicted here - both teams scored. Actually, Aspas scored goal with hand, but who cares - this is Spain and referees are allowed to make crucial mistakes. On Saturday Barca will play Copa final against Sevilla and main players like Suarez, Busi and others will be fresh then.
I'm not a fan of Madrid, but I will share my thoughts. Despite bad results in La Liga, I don't think that Perez would sack him, especially if he will win UCL 3rd year in a row. And I don't see many reasons why he would need to leave Real by his own decision.

whatever the results of this match indeed i do agreed with you that over 2.5 goals might be good pick because Barcelona as the most producitive team in Laliga however i had discover news update that Barcelona key player such as Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, and Pique will not played for this match because all of them had been injuried and i think this is will reduce the aggressiveness of Barcelona

Hey guys...  What's your opinion on Zidane's options at the end of the season.  He leaving Real on his own terms or will he stay...  And even maybe given the sack?  I know the 'news' say he's staying but what do you guys, as fans, feel is gonna happen?

I'd rather hear out the fans' intuition than the rumors.  Thanks...

I have played both teams to score and over 2.5 goals @1.95. Celta has some solid attackers and I am expecting them to score at least one goal today. Barca will always score something so mentioned odds have value in my book

Today we have Celta de Vigo vs Barcelona. I'm expecting Barca to drop points today, last 3 matches between both teams in the Balaídos Stadium: 2 wins for Celta and 1 Draw, so it's pretty clear that Celta have proven to be a tough opponent at home against the catalan side. Barcelona will also rotate the squad to rest some players for the Copa del Rey match next saturday, with an alternative starting XI today they might face some troubles.

There's a chance that we see Over 2.5 Goals today since the match at the Camp Nou last year ended 2-2.

That's the guarantee of Isco if you trust him. So far Isco has always been in the shadow of astonishing Cristiano Ronaldo and always at number two right. And Isco have quality that can help Real Madrid. Isco is a great player, if he is tired of being a reserve player, he must dare to move for his career.

This is a good observation about Celta Vigo as I was going to go Barcelona this game since the odds are good for them to win.
But I said the same thing about Real Madrid winning against Atletico a few weeks ago but they ended that match in a draw.
Good thing they are good at home and more likely to score against Barcelona so a BTTS or over on goals is the better choice than an ML win.

Celta Vigo are in unstable form but they still holding in the middle of the table they are 9th in the table with 43 points and only 5 behind top 6 and Europa League places there is 6 points games left until end of the season so they still have some chances to finish in a European squad unfortunately they have to face Barcelona whom have been in amazing form in the league and they still trying to finish the league undefeated with Celta Vigo being solid at home with 8 games without a loss at home so I expect from them to try and win this game that means that we will see goals scored from both sides so better go for over 2.5 goals.

Not something to be bragged about because they are not in the position to win the league anymore. Barcelona are out of champions league and they focus on the league for now so that means they wont really lose most of their game. Ronaldo wasnt in the game because they are aiming to win the champions league therefore reserving Ronaldo is better

Real Madrid wins easily against Malaga without Ronaldo.All credit to Isco who played brilliantly yesterday.Isco score from free kick that was awesome to watch.Real take third place of the table after the match.Barcelona is 15 points clear from them so it's not possible for Real to win the league title this year.

i expected Cristiano to play this game i guess Zidane wanted him to take some breath after the previous marathon games. but we seen Benzema in this match after not starting in Derby against Atletico and Juventus with him being on the amount of waisted chances have rosen to the top but it's not right when a defensive midfiemder (Casemiro) with his number of goals just like Benzema and he is striker scoring the same 5 goals in a full season Zidane defended him and constantly and he involved him so much with the team it's right for Madrid to search for another striker next season because after many years of making fans angry on him i don't expect from him to make it out in this one as he have been too poor and if they lost the CL defintly will be see his way out alongside zidane.
