Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 128. (Read 550109 times)

Barcelona do not have the players to withstand the long season ahead,  I knew at some point they was going to crumble and fall down fromm the top regardless of the the fact that they lacked a solid squad with depth. Real Madrid are still fighting tactically and decision making from the manager as he is yet to hack the right first eleven player ever since Kylian Mbappe joined them this season and also since Toni Kroos left them in midfield. Situations like this would definitely see Atletico Madrid and Diego Simeone taking the chances and opportunities they have.

Real Madrid can pick form and same time win the league,  they have depth but can Barcelona? I can't say the same for them. Even God knows.

Girona have lost some key players who helped them finish in the top position last season so it is natural that their performance this season has been inconsistent. Now their position is in the top 8 with the season still running halfway which allows them to finish as before or means getting a UCL ticket again but with the note that there must be an increase in performance, because if with the current performance it is difficult to achieve the target.

Underdogs like Girona have so many difficulty to maintain their success, but they can make it like Sevilla in Spain or Atalanta, Napoli in Serie A, or Dortmund, Leipzig in Bundesliga. But after a first successful season, these underdogs usuallly have considerable down before their good strategic development can work in long term.

With time, if they have good development strategy in player transfers to salary ceiling of the club and good scout teams to bring good youth players to the club, they will have very sustainable competitiveness. Girona don't reach to that stage but they can try and they can achieve it in future several seasons.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are traditional competitors and Real Madrid got Mbappe, Barcelona got Olmo in return. Barcelona can not watch Real Madrid getting Mbappe and do nothing even their finance are very dangerous. By trying to compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona took more risk on transfer market, made their finance worse and in next few years, I expect Real Madrid winning over Barcelona.

Girona's performance last season was such that i even taught they were even going to probably win the title or miss it by a very few points but then they did had a very decent finish which wasn't a bad record but then the thing is that they were like in one of their best forms last season and this season i don't know why they are this poor with their performance, although they are not looking like they are so terrible, they are most likely still going to be able to probably have another decent finish such that they can get the UCL or Europa.

To call Real Madrid signed Mbappe without paying the fees is totally wrong. Did you forget Mbappe's signing fees worth 150mio++?

Talking bout Barcelona, they are a broken club, they're bad financially. they have no clue how to manage their financial better. Their management deserved to be jailed. They're nothing without being funded. lol

In contrast with Madrid, which is financially well managed by Perez. This is the key how they can always survive in any of difficult situation. Unlike Barcelona, which may go bankrupt if they keep suffer financial lose.  

Both teams last played against each other and it ended draw, as for their second leg, it will happen on 9th Feb. Which Real Madrid will be the host. I strongly believe that Real Madrid will get back to their feet to be among the most dangerous teams in Laliga before that match, I will put hope in Real Madrid to win based on their current performance and I expected rapid improvements in their performance before the match will be play. I think you are judging Atletico based on their current form which I totally agree with you, currently Atletico remains the toughest team in laliga because they are able to maintain their consistency. Real Madrid concern now is their outstanding match against Valencia which I have strong feelings that Real Madrid can win the match despite valencia are the host, they really lose focus that what makes them to be in relegation zone.

Girona once performed surprisingly, but I was also not too surprised when in the next season they showed a decline again, or in the event they could not maintain the good performance they showed before. That happened because of several things in my opinion, one of which is their mentality is not fully ready to be able to compete with teams that are usually in the top flight.
In fact, it's not only in La Liga that this kind of thing happens, in the Premier League the same thing happens where in one season there is a team that was not predicted before that can actually give the best in their game.

Girona and Atletico Madrid cannot be compared because Atletico Madrid is a top La Liga team that deserves to be reckoned with even though they often lose in the title race with the 2 Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but this season I think everything will be different for Atletico Madrid who are taking advantage of the problems being faced by Real Madrid and Barcelona which makes Atletico Madrid have a large percentage in the La Liga title race this season.

Simone is a coach who has been coaching Atletico Madrid for a long time and he has also presented several trophies, there is no doubt about his quality and what is happening to Atletico Madrid now is inseparable from their success in recruiting several quality players to oversee this season and that has been proven now.

Don't put too much hope on Real Madrid to win this match against Atletico, because Madrid hasn't picked form and there is laxity in their defense. Atletico is a perfect team in their best performance, making them very dangerous for Real Madrid to play with. This is the match that I will use the evaluate these two clubs, but I believe Atletico is in a better position of winning Madrid. They have strong defense than Madrid.

But it turns out that Barcelona, ​​with all its financial limitations, has actually found or acquired extraordinary young players. What I even think is that the young players that Barcelona has have a very brilliant future. because they at Barcelona didn't even need much time to adapt and immediately showed extraordinary performance. so I think in terms of effectiveness Barcelona are quite clever in bringing in young players who suit this team.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has also made extraordinary preparations and transfers. Even though Mbappe didn't immediately produce good results, he kept getting better and better. Maybe in terms of development, Real Madrid is a little late compared to Barcelona this season, but there is no doubt that this team is also making good steps in player transfers. And it can be concluded that these two teams with different conditions have taken extraordinary steps. But I prefer to praise Barcelona because they are struggling even harder with their financial condition which has not even recovered well but they can still bring in quality young players.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are the favorites to win the League trophy as Barcelona's failure started, Barcelona facing a lot of problems and I don't think the team will survive it, Barcelona can't register a player they sign with 60m, this is a disgrace to a Barcelona because it make the fans feel ashamed of the team they are supporting, Atletico Madrid is ahead of Real Madrid with just one points and the both teams have one match to play, and I believe both teams can win their matches.

Winning the League trophy will be very difficult for Atletico Madrid because Real Madrid will never let that happen, Real Madrid is the biggest Rival of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid's next match against Atletico Madrid is in Santiago Bernabeu which will make Real Madrid win the match with full confidence, Real Madrid performance is looking good and I believe if Real Madrid players are in good shape Atletico Madrid will not win the League trophy this season.

Last season we have seen Girona who can able to broke the domination of Barcelona and Real Madrid but unfortunately Girona impressive performance didn't last long that this season they have been lost their consistency and this season Atletico Madrid has appears as strong contender for Laliga title because they have showing impressive performance recently and the last time Atletico Madrid won the championship in the 2003/2004 season and Simeone has been confirmed that he will be more focus for Laliga matches because Simeone also had ambition want to get Laliga trophy this season

Barcelona signed only Olmo last summer. Because they don't have a stable financial condition so they can't afford expensive players. They even struggled to raise funds for Nico Williams by themselves and the fans tried to help by donations on their TikTok account. 

When it comes to Real Madrid, of course the Mbappe signing was resounding. Signing such a world star without a transfer fee is such a huge opportunity. In addition to that they signed Endrick as a wonderkid but we will see how much he improves in time.

I can clearly say they have a way more powerful squad than Barcelona. This doesn't guarantee success maybe but in critical times Real Madrid technically have better alternatives. What Barcelona is trying to do is to build a solid team from their young talents by being patient.

Compared from the previous seasons,  this season we see Atletico Madrid perform better and even they look more developed, their game looks more balanced in attack and defence so that it can be a strong factor for them to become title contenders this season, Simeone became the longest coach ever to coaching Atletico madrid and previously they relied on defensive and physical games in facing every opponent, but this season they even dare to play attractive and offensive like when beating Barcelona but with still maintaining a solid defence,  I think there this season a lot of significant changes in their game and that makes them more interesting for us to watch than the previous seasons.

Indeed, many people did not expect that Atletico Madrid would be this good and could be ranked 1st in the current standings because most people, including me, always focus on Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but yes, if Atletico Madrid, for example, were to become champions at the end of this season, they would definitely This will be exciting news and indeed, if you look at Atletico Madrid, in fact, almost every season, Atletico Madrid always competes with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so of course some people won't be too surprised if Atletico Madrid, for example, becomes champion.

But of course, Atletico Madrid fans definitely miss seeing Atletico Madrid win and become champions like what happened in the 2021-2022 season, but in my opinion, this season we won't know who will be the champions because of course Real Madrid and Barcelona also want to become champions. But of course, with the strength that Atletico Madrid has, there is definitely great potential for Atletico Madrid to become champions.

Personally, I also can't wait to see Osasuna's match against Atletico Madrid, yes, there is no doubt that Atletico Madrid's strength will be in that match and it seems certain that Atletico Madrid will have great potential to win that match. and certainly Atletico Madrid will have great potential to score a lot of goals in that match.

Atletico Madrid's form has been incredible at the moment and they are unbeaten in their last 12 games and most importantly Atletico Madrid were able to beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou in quite a dramatic way. In terms of attack there has been a big improvement for Atletico Madrid this season and their forward link is a bit more productive than last season and so is the defense which is more solid in controlling the movement of the opponent's attacks.

Semione has been at Atletico Madrid for a long time and probably understands the characteristics of the players and the patterns that need to be done. Although these efforts have not necessarily given them the best this season, at least they have shown better results and now they just have to show consistency in competing with other teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Extraordinary performance fueled up competitive race. We shouldn't place our hopes and votes on Hansi Flick and Carlo Ancelotti because they've been unserious with the title race this season. There have been numerous scenarios that have been visioned them to be less concerned about winning matches, consecutive inconsistent game outcome. It happen that Real Madrid and Barcelona are relenting and their opportunities to reap good winning points have been compromised. This is totally not the estimated path to follow, Atlético Madrid coach, Diego Simeone is not under pressure because he's experienced coach and knows exactly what he's doing. Atletico Madrid in front for the La Liga title race and this is no coincidence because they're fully determined for the big games.

Semione was unusually active in the last transfer market, and it was clear that they were targeting forwards, and it has paid off, their attack has become much better. He knows this team very well and I think that with the right funding Atletico can be even stronger. Now will be an important time for them, they will need to show how competitive they can be with Real and Barcelona, ​​because more often than not they do not survive this race until the end of the season.

1.40 for 1x2 looks quite good and indeed looking at the opportunities and conditions that occur for Madrid now that it is on the rise actually this looks quite normal even though they are playing away in this match.
Their momentum looks very good, the players are also in a productive mood especially now that no player is experiencing serious problems from injuries apart from a few players who are still undergoing recovery so this could be a good situation for Madrid to get 3 points back and secure their position while sticking to Atletico in the race for the trophy.

This can also be a good opportunity if you see Atletico who will compete a week later, so indeed the chance of 3 points to win a temporary position at the top of the standings is certainly wide open now so Madrid's target is 3 points in this match.

I don't want to expect much from Real Madrid because they can change their way of playing, plus the opponent next week is Valencia, maybe this match can be underestimated because Valencia is not too favored but anything can happen, I don't want to see the standings of both but the pattern of play of both can be a comparison and benchmark for both, because Real Madrid's rival, ATM, will host Osasuna, of course ATM will look for a win because they don't want to lose their position at the top of the La Liga standings.
