Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 10. (Read 406922 times)

There is no problem about teams getting relegated because that is the rule because after all, any team will have a bad performance and if that happens then any team has a chance of getting relegated. But, what is not good is that if big teams are relegated then it will not be good or fun at all. But yes, so far it has been only the mediocre teams that have been relegated and even, team like Sevilla who have been very bad in the last two seasons, but the fact remains that Sevilla have managed to improve their position in the La Liga table. Therefore, in terms of Almeria, Granada and Cadiz being relegated I think it's only natural, because they're mediocre teams.

Barcelona - Valencia

despite barcelona being far behind real madrid and not having a great chance of becoming champions, they need to win the remaining games to have a good image at the end of the league and finish in second place, as girona is not declining, on the contrary if They recovered from the bad moment and won in their last game, now Girona occupies second place, so in my opinion Barcelona need to work hard in today's game to win. looking at barcelona's performance in the last 5 games, they only had 1 defeat in the last 5 games which was a defeat in the game against real madrid in a game marked by controversy but in my opinion real madrid was a fair winner

while on the other side we have Valencia who in the last 5 games had 2 defeats, 2 wins and 1 draw. being that they come to today's game with a defeat in the last game, which is why in my opinion I see Barcelona managing to come out of this game with a victory, they need to win in the last few to finish in second place, while Valencia will fight to win because there is still a small chance of getting a place in European competitions.

Barcelona has the following players injured: Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Alejandro Balde,

Valencia has the following players injured: Mouctar Diakhaby, Jose Gaya, Roman Yaremchuk

my guess is that barcelona will win this game

Barcelona is definitely going to have their psychology in a good shape and their moral boosted while their confidence will aswell get some kind of balance because of the fact thst they are going to still have their coach whom they are very familiar with staying with them even after this season because i think the announcement of the exit of their coach was actually getting to become a problem to them.

Just like Liverpool, the announcement of the exit of klop actually got the team with some instability awhile before they were able to bounce back to a better form a s the same was about happening to Barcelona because most of the players were already getting to xavi and having another coach will mean getting a new tactics and they will need time to get used to him and his strategy aswell especially the younger players who are just coming up and getting to become used to the team now having to change coach, it actually had an influence on their performance and that's why recently since the announcement of him been retained, they have improved their performance much better.

Bilbao wasn't going to make it ahead or atletico and knew it in the fact that Atlwtico was appearing to be in a much better form then they were even in their last game they literally tried to be defensive enough against atletico but then atletico was able to break their defense regardless and were able to get victory to maintain a spot in the top five and Barcelona is definitely going to finish at the second position this season.

What are you discussing here exactly? You should at least read what I'm saying because I'm not discussing who is the champion but the problems experienced by some players who are exposed to racism.

Now looking at what happened in this week's match against Sociedad, it's good to see that they're already preparing for Bayern because Ancelotti's massive rotation gives us hope that they'll be focused in this semi-final.

I am actually still quite optimistic about what Madrid will show in the Champions League even though Bayern is a big force but I am still confident that Madrid will be able to win in this match. But indeed as you say this will not be an easy match because after all at this time Bayern will still exert their strength especially this is the only competition left for them.

Not good to see the battle for relegation is almost ended, two teams are already in LaLiga2 (Almeria and Granada) and Cadiz surely is the next one to fall into the second division this year.
Is strange but im seeing this happen more and more in every top league, one or two teams cant reach the level to play in the first division and start to fall so much behind since the start of the season.

Real Madrid this season did make La Liga too easy for them, but I think that was not the case a few seasons ago when Barcelona had the ability and also the financial strength, and we can even see how Barcelona continued to put pressure on Madrid until the season ended, the change happened when Barcelona was down and made them have to admit Madrid's greatness this season,  But I think Madrid are also not too easy this season in winning because indeed they even in the middle of the season are still far behind Girona.

We can say if this season Ancelotti did benefit from the slump of Barcelona so that they can win La Liga this season, in the Champions League of course Madrid will face a difficult job against Bayern Munich, although indeed Bayern Munich is not in good shape at the moment, but I think it does not mean Madrid will be able to beat Bayern Munich easily and maybe even a surprise can be given by Munich in the match later.
The semi-final between Munich and Madrid is of course very difficult to predict and even both have a 50/50 chance of winning.

Do you know what I love most in all these clubs' competitions? That will be a healthy rivalry and not a situation where one club will always be winning easily as if there are no other clubs worthy of contending. If Man City wins again the EPL table this season, I will certainly not be happy, but I love what Leverkusen did in the Bundesliga. I just cited those examples because I want clubs to give themselves tough times, especially the first 5 rated ones among them. What Barcelona is experiencing now is not uncommon and I urge that you blame it less. As usual, they will come out of this and I do not even think there is a huge issue here, it is one of those things in football. And if at all there are financial constraints which I do not know about, it shouldn't be as bad as you take it because, with not enough resources at their disposal, they can still do a whole lot managerially. Well, this season is almost over and I see them ending it between the 2nd & 3rd spots which is still encouraging. They've not particularly held the 1st spot in many of their matches in the past 5-7 seasons now, so it is not a big deal and Barcelona will remain the top voice in Laliga regardless.

Maybe they will fight better next season, let's just wait and see as it unfolds. The coaching job there initially tired Xavier Hernández and everyone believed that he would be leaving this season as he hinted of that in January. But the situation has suddenly changed as he is staying back with President Joan Laporta saying the club needed stability, and not drastic decision-making which I so much believe as well. Many clubs have made the mistake of sacking their good coaches or having an agreement with them to quit their jobs but such has never solved their problems in most cases. Let's see how Xavier can turn the table around next season, but personally, I did not believe less that the trophy would be lifted this season between Girona and Real Madrid. However since Girona reduce the good tempo they started with, it slipped away from their fingers. Nevertheless, they are still finishing very strong and well-recognised better than when they started the season which is a huge plus for them.

The performance of Madrid this season ahs been not less of brilliance and possibly perfection because they have been able to really get to produce results that are deserving of the kind of results they get in their games recently and i can say that they are most definitely going to get at least two trophies if not all the three they are aiming at this season as their Chances of getting all three is very close.

Carlo Ancelotti is some one who actually understands the team so well and every of their dorm and dynamics, he's Also have a good players management skill and all this has added to contributing to his success in the la Liga and other leagues where he's team has been playing this season so far, he knows when to get the players to staying optimal and the times to use them aswell as the time to rest them too and that has helped him probably because he's experienced enough and has been with these players enough to understand their abilities at almost every point.

A the young and potentially big players in Madrid has got a good management under ancelotti as they are getting to achieve much already under the management of ancelotti and they are aswell even improving much better than they have always been in their subsequent teams and this includes Bellingham and others who are doing well already for Madrid and now he's getting to add mbappe.

Realmadrid has made football to look as if it is easy in the spanish laliga, I know that some person will say why did I say this, yea I made this statement for a purpose, their match with realsociedad was surprising to me not because the home team is difficult to defeat not atole but I was looking at the current form and odd of both team, yea I know that odd can be deceitful sometimes but madrid was a able to get a goal in that match and maintained it to the end, this is what i expect from a good team, no matter the waves they were able to collect the 3point which is the most important thing I that match.

Realmadrid is really doing well despite their champions league encounter with Bayern that's scheduled to hold soon, they still displayed as serious team that's ready to make a difference every moment, 

From my own observations we only have three strong clubs that no matter how tough the season is they must ways qualify to the champions league because they don't have any rival. These clubs are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, so I am not surprised that they will be in the Champions League next season. It was assuming that they did not make it, that I will be shocked.

Xavi needs to bring in one or two players during the transfer window to add to his current squad for more efficiency in order for them to achieve a better result next season and to also win trophies. Xavi is a good coach, and he has proven himself right despite the little challenge the Barcelona was facing in the beginning of the season which made them not to be on track with Real Madrid for the title competition on time. But he was still able to overcome those hard times and improved the performance of his men.

It seems like Osasuna's performance is dropping and their last win in Laliga was against Almeria with a score of 0-3 and up to now Osasuna still hasn't been able to win in every match and the most surprising thing is that in the last match against Granada Osasuna had to swallow the bitter pill of losing to Granada with a score of 3-0 and to be honest I lost the bet and I didn't expect Osasuna to lose to a team in the relegation zone. Of course, now Granada's struggle was not in vain because they managed to get 3 points from Osasuna. and it looks like Granada will be ready to face Sevilla in the next match and we'll see whether Granada's performance will decline or not. but I am sure Granada will do their best to win the next match against Sevilla.

It looks like Arrasate must be able to make his men better to prepare for the match against Betis. Of course, the opponent they will face is a stronger opponent than Granada and I think Osasuna's match against Betis will make it difficult for Osasuna to win the match.

After Xavi changed his decision, everyone involved in the club was certainly quite enthusiastic about completing all the remaining matches this season, but that didn't change the fact that their chances of winning a trophy were already very low. Madrid still leads the standings and has maintained its consistency to date, where they have not lost their balance even though they have other matches scheduled in the Champions League.

Barcelona management will certainly try to add depth to the squad, where next season the competition will also be fiercer, it will be very difficult to compete with Madrid if Barcelona doesn't do something in the transfer window. Next, Xavi fleet will host Valencia in the closing match of Week 33. If they succeed in securing full points, the point difference with Los Blancos will be slightly reduced.

Meanwhile, ATM has succeeded in asserting itself as one of the dominant clubs in La Liga, which every season manages to qualify for the Champions League, Simeone fleet manages to secure fourth place in the standings from the pressure of Bilbao. Very unfortunately, Bilbao lost a lot of points towards the end of the season, and this automatically meant they failed to finish in the top four. But Bilbao has a big chance of getting to the Europa League, provided they have to recover in the remaining 5 matches.

Granada continues to struggle to get out of the relegation zone and they got an additional 3 points after beating Osasuna with a landslide score of 3-0 at home. I really appreciate the performance of all parties and they prove that anything can still happen as long as there is still time left. Even though Granada is currently in the red zone with 21 points, if they can continue to maintain this positive trend then it is not impossible that they will be able to appear again in La Liga next season.

But the 10 point difference from Celta Vigo makes things more difficult and if you look at the schedule, Granada will still face other strong teams such as Real Madrid and Girona. But if they can wrap up the other 3 matches against Sevilla, Vallecano and Celta Vigo with wins then they can only continue to fight as best as possible not to lose when they face Real Madrid and Girona later. Apart from that, Almeria has been confirmed as being relegated to La Liga 2 after being unable to do anything and only collecting 14 points so far.

LaLiga is theirs; they'll win the title. Football is unpredictable, but Barcelona catching up? A long shot. Real has been steady all season, so losing the title now would be a huge upset. They may seal the deal against Cadiz

Now, the Champions League is different. Knocking out last year's victors is important. Going up against Bayern will be challenging. Bayern has been struggling, and Real has plenty of experience in high-pressure European knockout games. Focus and smart play will determine it, especially away from home. A double win? Avoid betting against them. Real Madrid has the talent and drive to succeed

Real Betis had to share points with Sevilla at home, Sevilla was very tough playing at Betis' home ground which didn't discourage them. Sevilla played quite well in the first half to compensate for Real Betis' game which was quite troublesome for Sevilla's defense, playing very tough in the first half these two teams played against each other The attack provided quite a good spectacle for the fans until finally Isco was able to open the scoring with his penalty kick, continuing in the second half Real Betis were in control of the game but unfortunately they conceded and the score was 1-1 at full time.

It's quite a shame for Betis because if they were able to win last night they would be in the top six in La Liga, but on the other hand, the good thing that Sevilla got was with a draw against Betis, they were able to stay away from the relegation zone, even though this year Sevilla didn't get their Europa ticket can still survive the relegation zone.

Madrid only need to win 1 more game to be able to ensure the La Liga trophy is theirs this season, against Cadiz in week 34 can actually be a champion stage for Madrid because with the achievement of 3 points will make Madrid leave Girona with a difference of 13 points even though Girona wins, because the season will only leave 4 (4x3=12) remaining matches so it is impossible for Girona to catch up Madrid,  Madrid this season has an outstanding performance even though in fact at the beginning of the season they went very slowly, initially I thought the La Liga title competition would be determined until the last game of the season but unfortunately the performance of Girona and Barcelona which suffered a drastic decline in the middle of the season made Madrid managed to run alone without pressure from the two teams.

In addition to getting closer to winning the La Liga trophy this season, of course the Champions League is another main target of Ancelotti this season for them to get, a difficult journey has been passed by Madrid to eliminating the defending champions League champion last season, so I think they are only one step away from being able to reach the final round and of course Bayern  can be an opponent that will be difficult later,  Bayern current performance is certainly worth watching out for Madrid, because currently Tuchel squad has great motivation to end the season with a Champions League trophy after they failed in the domestic league.

Regarding locking up the title, of course it is quite important, just let's say the scheme goes as usual. Madrid has 5 remaining matches, all of which can be wiped out by 15 points + with 84 points for a total of 99 points by the end of the season. Meanwhile if Barcelona were to maximize the remaining 5 matches, they would only have a total of 86 points. There is still a gap of 13 points and I think Madrid will be fine, even now it can be said that they have succeeded in locking in the La Liga title. There is nothing to worry about as long as you can focus on winning 5 matches. Madrid can also use the remaining 5 matches by giving their reserve players more time to exist, such as when Arda Guler was given time in the starting eleven. Ancelotti really prepared a core squad such as Vinincius and Rodrygo to focus on training to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Probably Barcelona will be on the rise now, there is no longer that uncertainty with the coach, Xavi decided to stay in the team, the players also wanted this, so all attention will be focused only on the game. In addition, there are already many rumors that Barcelona will strengthen the team, and this will be an additional incentive for the players to show good play.

That’s right, Atletico quickly showed that they were not going to fall below the top 4, and Bilbao could not survive the end of the season. Barcelona will not play an easy match with Valencia, because Valencia still has a chance to compete for the EL, but if not in this round, then in the next round, I think Barcelona will get ahead of Girona. Now it seems to me that when Barcelona no longer have uncertainty in the team, they will play better.

I assume we can all say from now on that Atletico Madrid have secured the last spot for the Champions League.    That win against Athletic Bilbao was a result that most people including me expected. Athletic Bilbao gave up early because of making really critical point losses against Granada and Villarreal both home previously.

Real Madrid are very close to announcing the title officially. Only a couple of weeks the most. I think the winner of the Girona - Barcelona game will determine which one will finish the season at the second position as well. I think Barcelona would beat Valencia today first and use their two-point advantage against Girona well in the game between later.  

Currently in the Spanish La Liga standings, Real Madrid are 13 points better than second placed Girona but should Barcelona win their league game tonight against Valencia, they'll move up to the second position and reduce Real Madrid's points difference to just 11 points which i think is still a good lead for Carlo Ancelotti's men. Real Madrid's quest to win the Spanish La Liga this season is almost achieved and considering their performances in the league and in other competitions, I don't think there's anything that's going to stop them from winning the league title this season.
Real Madrid's biggest problem at the moment is winning the UEFA Champions League because to them, the Spanish La Liga is in the bag already. They'll travel to Germany tomorrow to play against German giants Bayern Munich in the first leg of their two-legged semi final tie and the result of that game is going to hugely affect the winner of the tie. So I expect Real Madrid to either win tomorrow at the Allianz Arena or avoid a defeat in that game
