Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 1082. (Read 550070 times)

There are Cadiz - Barcelona and Mallorca - Real Madrid games regarding the 'title race' next week. These games are both between Champions League legs for both favourite sides here. I feel like one of these favourites will stumble in their game but which one?    I feel like it might be Barcelona while Cadiz are on the verge of the relegation zone.


Yeah it absolutely feels weird when you explain it like that. Because Atletico Madrid really don't make me feel like they have made progress this season, at least in the La Liga.

But when it comes to the Champions League there is a huge progress compared to the previous season that's for sure. 

Yes, the greatness of Ancelotti's troops is beyond doubt and up to this season Real Madrid is still very good and Real Madrid is very good at choosing players and last season Real Madrid was only able to reach 2nd place in La Liga, but this season Real Madrid has proven it. that they deserve to be champions this season.

Yes, Madrid's match against Bilbao was a lucky match for Madrid because Madrid managed to win the match and I agree with you that the score of 2-0 against Bilbao is a good score for Madrid to win.

In my opinion, Barcelona this season is experiencing a decline in performance, of course it is different from last season, but I personally see that Barcelona is a strong team and has a good coach like Xavi

However, I also agree with you that Madrid has the potential to continue to perform well in the future, especially if Mbappe joins next season to defend Madrid then Madrid's strength will definitely be better.

But even though Girona did not manage to maintain their top position at that time. But still, the achievements shown by Girona this season are truly extraordinary. They are an ordinary team that surprised all the top teams in Laliga. Even strong teams like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also lost to Girona this season. And only Real Madrid made Girona difficult and suffered defeat in their two meetings this season. At least we can be more optimistic about seeing Girona in the UCL next season. because it seems that Girona, which is currently ranked 3rd, can also be said to be quite safe. Because they have a point difference with Atletico Madrid of 7 points. And maybe there are only two more matches where Girona will potentially lose points, namely the second meeting against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Because these two teams lost the meeting at the start of the season. then they will definitely get revenge in the second meeting at the end of this season.

Indeed, the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid in the Champions League is being hotly discussed because there are so many Real Madrid supporters and also so many Manchester City supporters and now in La Liga, Real Madrid's position is indeed safe because the point difference with Barcelona is so far but in this case it is their fate bad luck for a team can happen at any time.

However, I am sure that Ancelotti's ability has always been good in providing direction to his subordinates, so far Real Madrid has successfully led the LaLiga standings and has also entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League and this is extraordinary.

Yes, mentally, Real Madrid will definitely be calm with the current results and achievements in La Liga and will definitely be enthusiastic when they compete in the Champions League against Manchester City. but of course it is not easy to beat Guardiola's troops because their strength is currently good. and in the last meeting between Manchester City and Madrid in the Champions League last season, Madrid lost, so Madrid's quarter-final match against Manchester City will definitely be exciting.

As long as Peter Lim remains the owner of Valencia, they are not going to achieve anything significant. Forget about the Valencia of 20 years ago, it was a team that grew at the dawn of the real estate bubble, and since it burst, it hasn't raised its head. For example, the supposed new stadium that started to be built in 2007 and was stopped in 2009, still looks like this:



Valencia is condemned for many years to be a mid-table team.

The narrow victory in the away match against Granada made Valencia move up one place to 7th in the standings and closer to one of the European competition zones. I think it was a worthy win, especially since Valencia has made gradual improvements this season and the results are as we can see, they haven't experienced a single decline since the start of the season.

Coach Rubén Baraja seems to be the figure that Valencia needs this season and when compared to previous coaches, we will often see Valencia fighting with other teams at the bottom of the table. To be honest, I have long missed the era of revival of one of the big teams in La Liga and I want to see it go even further next season and be able to compete in the race for the top four in the standings.

Yes, it would not be wrong to call Real Madrid the best team in La Liga. Because currently Real Madrid is still at the top of the standings, and of course this position will be difficult for any team to shift, including a team like Barcelona too. Apart from that, in the Champions League, Real Madrid also managed to advance to the quarter-finals. So this season, Real Madrid would not be wrong if they were called the best team in Laliga.
And in the upcoming match, Real Madrid must prepare to play the Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City in the first leg. Maybe Real Madrid will get a big advantage in this first leg. The reason is that Real Madrid will host Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu, or be the host for this match (first leg). So I hope Real Madrid can achieve satisfactory results in this first leg. Because playing at home should be an opportunity to win on for Real Madrid. Because if for example Real Madrid cannot win against Manchester City at home (lose or draw). Maybe it will be the same as last season's Champions League.

The reason is that in last year's UCL match, Real Madrid also played against Manchester City, but the difference was not in the quarter-finals but in the semifinals. And the result was that Real Madrid only drew in the first leg. Even though in the first leg Real Madrid played at home. And in the end, in the second leg, Real Madrid lost when they visited Manchester City headquarters. Therefore, I hope that in this first leg Real Madrid can win the match. Because this will have a big influence on the second leg later. So, if for example in the first leg Real Madrid wins and is definitely ahead on aggregate, you can be sure that in the second leg when Real Madrid visits Manchester City's headquarters the pressure will most likely not be too great.

Girona are not an elite club but they are not far from Barcelona that are chasing Real Madrid. I know Girona don't have good chance to chase Real Madrid but they actually are doing well.

They have 7 points and 9 points more than Atletico Madrid and Athletic Club so with 9 points more than a fifth club, Girona actually have good advantage to complete the season in top four. If we look at results of five latest matches, in top five, Girona are the third best team and their results are only worse than Real Madrid and Barcelona. Last five matches, they won three and lost two, good enough in general.

Real Madrid are rich, ready to spend big budget for player transfer and salary but they are smart and act very cleverly on transfer market. See how they sold star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Metsut Ozil, Casemiro, Varane to get good money for their squad rebuilding. Success of Real Madrid on transfer market is very different than failure of Barcelona over years.

At the start of the season we are presented with mediocre clubs who are able to occupy the top of the standings and stay there for quite a long time, competing with elite clubs to occupy the top of the standings. Entering the end of the season we don't know what will happen mediocre clubs may experience difficulties in maintaining their performance because they have given their all since the start of the season. And now Girona is struggling to continue to perform well even though they sometimes lose balance, I'm not sure Girona will end up in 2nd place even though the point difference is small with Barcelona because currently Barcelona has shown consistency and doesn't want to lose its place in the rankings 2 just below Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has always had a good coach and the coach does a good job in terms of strategy and also recruiting players and is good at managing his expenses. Carlo Ancelotti never fails to recruit the players he needs and these players are able to play well at Real Madrid and give maximum performance. Even though Carlo Ancelotti doesn't have a pure striker, in fact he can still make Real Madrid appear strong. So it is natural that Real Madrid is always a club that is feared in the domestic league and also the Champions League because of its ability to paralyze its strong rivals, while Barcelona itself is not good at managing expenses, which causes them problems in finances and also in recruiting players.

The elite teams are just what keeps the traffic in the various league as they have more fans and more big names in the football industry. Girona attempt to join the elite teams this season was a good one that actually surprised many people and if they continue the way they are going, they will surely get it right few seasons from now. They have no big name yet have dared the big boys in the industry, that is something commendable.

Like you rightly said, Girona started reducing when the league got heated up, they could not overcome the pressure so they have to give way for the two giants to pass, just a way of respecting themselves and staying out of troubles. Their next match is against Athletico Madrid, another match they have to give their best if they have to be seen as a serious team.

Real Madrid will keep on performing well this season because they have not sealed the La Liga title this season. If Real Madrid starts losing matches now in the league, they might allow Barcelona to challenge for the La Liga title this season. If Barcelona beat Real Madrid in their upcoming La Liga match, it would upset Real Madrid fans because Barcelona and Real Madrid are old rivals in the La Liga League.

Real Madrid are strong and they already created good differences against two competitors Barcelona and Girona. With big differences, 8 points and 10 points, against two competitors, they have easy task to complete and win La Liga. Barcelona will need Real Madrid to lose 3 matches in only last 8 matches and this condition is hard to occur with strength of Real Madrid.

They are still playing in Champions League and will meet one of strongest teams in Europe, Manchester City, in quarter finals. However it will not be reasons that can cause Real Madrid to lose 3 matches in La Liga. Barcelona surely will not give up in La Liga too early but chance for them to flip Real Madrid after all is very small.

If we talk about risk of lack of focus on La Liga, Barcelona have that risk too, not only Real Madrid have it.

Real Madrid is strong enough to win the league this season and they have good stars. Although Real Madrid are many ahead in the La Liga points table this season so they are playing much better in the race for the title this season and the coach and hard worker of Real Madrid is also responsible for making the players work hard. If Real Madrid focus more on La Liga then surely they can win the trophy and with the pressure of Champions League ahead, it may be difficult for them to win the title. If they don't perform well in the Champions League then surely they will play more competitively in La Liga and win the title. And this season, Real Madrid has enough players to win the Champions League and La Liga.

Football is filled with surprises and I'm not tired of watching the performance of these elite teams moving to the top. Girona have everything to hold unto the energy6 level of Real Madrid but something happen to them along the line, they failed to win or even score a goal against Real Madrid who was their top rival. Girona flopped around and watching them stepping from #1 on the table, they're doing everything to bounce back but it's not working.

Real Madrid is a special team since they always try to pick the best players and coach thanks to the good management they have, at the opposite of Barcelona for example where they suffered from bad management and signings..
Real Madrid good victory against Athletic Bilbao were something impressive with 2 goals to 0.. This could boost the team and make them continue winning.

Real Madrid is lucky to have a great manager who knows how to utilize big resources in the club. Their lead in the league and their proven mentality to compete at high level makes them keep staying at the top while they also have injuries issue. Ancelotti is a typical coach who does not want to relax his team even though they have a comfortable lead on the table. It's notable that he keeps memorizing his failure in UCL final in 2005 against Liverpool.

Their rich history and winning culture makes them ready to compete in any circumstance. They face each game with the same mindset even when the opponents are much weaker teams. The fact that most of their players are young with great talent, they have already been showing their capability to compete at high level. This proves that they will stay strong in the future.

This season is for Real Madrid, they have the players and looking forward to enable more tremendous winnings. Our odds for Real Madrid to win their league is slim because it's gradually becoming clear for the winning. Carlo Ancelotti have instructed him men to flogged without mercy any opponents they face and its considered a straight winning for them. Real Madrid is regarded as the best La Liga club following their credits and superb performance.

Granada has been of their very poor performance this season, although they have not been really known to Bea very good team in the la Liga but then been in the relegation zone even till this time of the league is something that they have not really been doing before now and i don't think they are possibly going to make it pass that stage before the end of the season as they don't really look good enough to do that.

Valencia didn't have a very good performance but were able to utilize the only opportunity they got at some point, and that earned them the victory they got in the game, granada in their last five games has lost all and not won a single game or even got a draw, Valencia even in their average form and playing from away were able to still win and had got extra three points completely from this game and now at the Seventh position with 44 points and are most likely to even get to qualify for the Europa if they are able to get some more wins before the end of the season.

The la Liga this season is really competitive and the form of various teams in all of these has really been such that they have been in more competition to get to the top and those who couldn't get on in the fight has in one way or the other fallen below the positions expected of them at every point, don't really believe in other teams who are below the top five position on the table as i see them as just average teams.

Yeah, many people were surprised with this result, many predicted that Atletico Madrid would be failed against Inter Milan. But, this La Liga club really could break the prediction.
Indeed, Atletico Madrid's performance, especially in La Liga, is not consistent enough. Sometimes, they appear so m=brilliant. But often they also seem difficult and will produce results that are beyond expectations. While their position is not yet secure enough in La Liga to continue to be in the top 4, this is still very risky.

Indeed, if we look at how Granada performed in this match, it was quite good and there was quite good progress too. However, in terms of their attacks, they are still not very strong and are still quite capable of being handled by the opposing players. If we talk about the possibility of them having standing tables, hemm, I think it will be very difficult to get out of the relegation zone. As you said, Granada is not that good against other clubs anymore. They have many deficiencies in various lines.

I agree that Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg of the quarter-finals, but Manchester City is not the type of team that likes to play defensively in many matches. Manchester City is a team that tends to be more able to control matches with a high percentage of ball possession, so that is an advantage.

Real Madrid must be careful in the first leg, even if they play at home. Manchester City could punish them very cruelly, but I don't want to find that to be true. Ancelotti has plenty of options in midfield and that should help match Manchester City's play, but leading the game from the start is a good plan to hope for. Real Madrid are home favorites in my opinion, but the odds are not that way.
