Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 1398. (Read 555536 times)

The following is a list of La Liga's temporary top scorers in Week 22 and there is a new name that has joined the race for the golden boot this season and he is Borja Mayoral from Getafe. The former Real Madrid academy player is now at Getafe and his role so far as a striker has really helped Getafe win. One additional goal in the match against Granada put him in the same place as Jude Bellingham and Arthem Dovbyk with a total of 14 goals so far.

On the other hand, there is something quite strange in the list of top scorers and there is not a single Barcelona player's name on the list. Maybe we all know that because Barcelona no one can be relied on when it comes to scoring goals and everyone contributes equally. Well, apart from all that, of course the competition between Jude Bellingham, Arthem Dovbyk and Borja Mayoral is worth watching and they will score more goals before this season ends. Apart from that, Morata, who currently has 13 goals, certainly doesn't want to lose in this competition.

Why do they have little chance? Yes, they are close to the relegation zone, but they do not have the worst position in the standings and I am almost sure that they will be able to maintain their place in La Liga. Almeria and Granada are in a much worse situation, and it looks like these two teams will leave La Liga, but they will have to compete with Cadiz and Celta for this place. It is also worth considering that the season is not yet over and Sevilla can improve its position before the end of the season.

Rayo Vallecano is only a team that is in the middle zone of the La Liga standings although indeed, so far this season at least Rayo Vallecano also has a pretty good record for away matches . But at the same time, the fact is that Atletico so far this season is unbeaten for home matches and great again, the first meeting of Rayo Vallecano v Atletico this season in fact Atletico managed to beat Rayo Vallecano with a score of 0-7 in their first match or first meet this season.

Not only that, the fact is that Atletico also have a very good dominance of victory against Rayo Vallecano based on head to head records. So yes, because in the match later that Atletico will play at home then of course, playing at home will still guarantee a sure victory for Atletico in this match . Because yes, basically Atletico also still need to strengthen their position in the top four and therefore, I personally will not doubt the quality of Atletico in this match to still beat Rayo Vallecano.

Barcelona has internal problem after Xavi Hernandez announcing will leave his position until the end of this season give bad mentality for the players and less conducive situation right now for Barcelona securing the top fourth position. Currently not only Athletic Bilbao but also Atletico Madrid are close teams have the same points with Barcelona and get pressure for winning every match. Tomorrow Barcelona have postponed match against Osasuna and must get three points to maintain the point difference from Athletic Bilbao behind two points left.

Facing Osasuna on tomorrow is moment for Barcelona is moment recovery to the winning trend after losing two matches in a row from Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla. Most important thing how Xavi Hernandez improving with defensive performance have conceded more than 11 goals in last three matches, Xavi Hernandez must provide the best results for Barcelona in the remaining few matches before deciding to leave the position of manager at the end of this season.

It seems like Barcelona is currently facing a challenging situation, particularly with uncertainties arising from Xavi's departure. The team's performance is being affected by issues in both finishing and defensive play, contributing to a worsening condition over time. While Barcelona appears to be in control of the match, the concern is that these persistent problems might lead to unexpected outcomes, such as losing points despite having control. Addressing the issues in finishing and defense will be crucial to avoiding further complications in Barcelona's performance.


Indeed, Getafe's victory last night not only showcased their capabilities but also provides a morale boost for the upcoming challenging match against Real Madrid, which they will play at home. Having the advantage of playing on their home turf could work in Getafe's favor, but facing Real Madrid is always a formidable task.

Real Madrid, recognizing the stakes involved, will likely put forth maximum effort in this crucial game. A negative outcome for Real Madrid could have significant implications for their title aspirations, making it imperative for them to secure a win not only against Getafe but also in the subsequent match against Girona.

The upcoming clashes promise to be intense, with both teams aiming for favorable results to shape their standing in the title race. The dynamics of these matches will undoubtedly add excitement to the ongoing competition.

Xavi definitely doesn't deserve a spot like Liverpool. Xabi has been asked about it and said no, he is not interested and he will stay at Leverkusen, but I think he should be the one that goes to Liverpool, he really deserves it and they were great last year and they are great this year as well.

I think it's clear that he is going to end up with much better career then just Leverkusen and there is really no reason why not start that right now. If he doesn't do this well next year with Leverkusen then he may not have the chance. I think it's quite obvious that Xavi doesn't deserve it though. He is a decent manager and I think he will do fine, but he is not a great one, not like at the top S tier levels of manager, he will be fine, a great manager for some mid table level team.

Barcelona and Atletico currently have the same number of points, namely 44, and both clubs still have one match postponed in the future, they must be able to make good use of it so they don't fall out of the top four of the standings. It is clear that Bilbao has the strength to directly threaten Barcelona and Atletico in the UCL zone, especially if Xavi and Simeone fleet loses more points in the future. However, I feel that the four teams currently occupying the top four will continue to be in the same place until the end of the season, regardless of who will manage to secure the title.

Ups and downs in performance are a very normal thing in football, especially if a club is experiencing a financial crisis like Barcelona, the decline in performance that befell them is very understandable. Luckily they were able to win the trophy last season with a financial situation that was not much different, but we have to understand and accept the fact that sometimes luck is not always on our side. I feel that Xavi deserves appreciation even though he failed to defend the trophy, it is not an easy job to be able to make Barcelona compete closely with Madrid, which has abundant sources of wealth.

Personally I don't think Barcelona are in the top four of the points table. Athletic Bilbao are playing pretty well that's right. However, despite Barcelona's performance being somewhat erratic, this team is strong. And I think they will be in the top four of the table. Barcelona are 2 points ahead of Athletic Bilbao with one match less played. If Barcelona can strengthen their defense a bit, I believe their overall performance will be regular. Xavi should now try to strengthen Barcelona's defence. And changing Barcelona's match tactics. Barcelona is a strong team, I guess at the end of the season we will see Barcelona third in the table.

Moreover, because there is a newcomer team in the top four in this season about Girona then yes, that factor also certainly makes Barcelona not have a safe place at this time. Because yes, obviously I think that Bilbao is also currently in a good trend and not inferior to Barcelona. Therefore, it is indeed difficult for Barcelona to maintain its position in the top four, because the team below Barcelona this moment like Bilbao and Real Sociedad will also continue to provide pressure and threats to Barcelona in the La Liga top zone standings this season.

Barcelona is not having chance anymore to compete for the title race. It keeps continue to bottled any game. Barcelona is very poor and weak, xavi has been sacrificed himself caused by the fans were always bullying him and barcelona. Glad to hear that if xavi was aware about that and he was starting to realize that if it's not the right place again for him to stay.
It means that if barcelona must search for the new coach to handle the club soon. Im only wondering who is candidates to be lined up by barcelona. There are so many fake news being made like when arteta being linked to the barcelona but he has been rejecting it with his clarrification said it was a fake news.

People must be careful caused by we can't really sure which news that can be trusted and which is not. So many people may become the victim from the fake news. Im feeling so sad that if people can be affected by reading it from the title without tried to read more about it.
barcelona is on the way to go to the bottom again. The club is very consistent in losing the points and i must appreciate that how barcelona has been trying so hard to make situation even worst.

Xavi has been announcing to step down as acoach and it's good for his mentality.

The victory over Granada was indeed a breath of fresh air for Getafe. The reason is that in the previous match Getafe lost to Osasuna. So that way the Getafe players will at least have a stronger sense of self-confidence when facing Real Madrid.

Apart from that, Madrid will not waste any opportunities this time. The reason is that the competition for the big 4 is currently very hot. Although currently Madrid can breathe a sigh of relief by being in second place. This is because Real Madrid's two competitors (Atletico and Barcelona) have a fairly large point difference with Madrid. So Madrid's focus this time is definitely to shift Girona from the top of the standings. Because currently Madrid and Girona are only separated by one point. So Madrid definitely doesn't want to waste this opportunity.

Therefore, Getafe must be prepared to withstand the attacks that Vinicius Jr and his friends will launch. Because if Madrid doesn't win this match, Madrid will definitely be a little further behind Girona. Because after Madrid will face Getafe, after that Madrid will face Atletico which will definitely be more difficult for Madrid. So in the two matches that Madrid will play, (Vs Getafe & Atletico) there cannot be a word of defeat if Madrid wants to be at the top of the standings.

It should be like that but with the conditions that are happening for Barcelona now we dont know what will happen for them later because seeing from what happened in the last few matches they did actually this will clearly disrupt their motivation and fighting spirit in the match.

Xavi must try to mix his club with something different because their scheme is completely read if they really want to use a sporadic attack scheme with short passes combined with gastric passes that have always  been their trademark it has been read easily by the opposing club.
Osasuna will definitely apply a defensive scheme in this match and they will still do the same thing that Villarreal and Bilbao addressed before where counterattacks are always a mainstay  for Barcelona who always play poorly when facing fast counterattacks.
I hope Xavi make a difference in this match because if in the end they lose again then it will be very difficult for them to rise from the downturn.

It will be quite difficult for Barcelona to secure a top four position this season because the Athletic Club team is also very close to Barcelona at the moment. So it could be quite possible for Barcelona to be eliminated from the top four positions if in this week's match Barcelona loses again to Osasuna. Apart from that, it is still possible for Real Sociedad to catch up with Barcelona if they continue to rise and Barcelona continues to decline this season so this is quite sacred for Barcelona this season.

The match against Osasuna must be a moment of revival for Barcelona. The situation after Xavi's resignation will indeed have a domino effect because it could affect the players' mental health even further. But if you see that the situation is getting worse and the ranking in the standings is increasingly threatened, then there is no choice for Xavi and all El Barca players to forget about the dark days against Villarreal and make the match against Osasuna a turning point to get back on track. It can be said that the Blaugrana can wave the white flag and have to let Real Madrid and Girona race to win the title, but Lewandowski and his friends must be able to finish in the Champions League zone and that is a fixed price.

Tougher fixtures for Atletico Madrid tommorow, they could still go ahead to win it but I highly doubt they'll do comfortably. Games like this which I'm not comfortable with, I end up with a win or draw option for the game in favor of the best attacking side. They did have a good game management from the last game and one incredible goal from Memphis Depay.

For Barcelona, nothing much to say you feel me. I'm done saying this and that about Xavi Hernandez. They should win the game regardless of whatever they be going through.
It was a big slap with how they've lost against Villarreal during the last game. For the second placers, Real Madrid also will struggle against Granada.

Regardless of whether it is admitted or not, the fact is that they played very badly and inevitably they have to admit that because after all, losing with a fairly large score in the last 2 matches they did was enough to make them realize that they were not as strong as before.

Actually, in terms of ball possession, I don't have a problem with it because the hallmark of Barcelona's game lies in the possession of the ball that they always get but for now their attacking and defensive lines are not very good, making their attacking patterns not going well in the end.

We can see where their goal productivity has decreased very drastically, besides that the defense that relies on each other makes conditions more complicated because their defenders seem to be confused when the ball comes to the Barcelona defense area which can be very well exploited by their opponents.

No fuckn chance for almeria but granada is having at least a very small chance to leave from the relegation only if it will be lucky enough to get some win streaks in the upcoming match. Almeria was so terrible this season and it deserves to be relegated to the lower division. The team played so badly this season and it's a disaster for almeria to have less than two digits point till this time. It's obviously almeria will be relegated this season and we will not see this team to play again in la liga next season. A crazy performance from almeria to show us how club is always playing so badly in any game. This season is a disaster for almeria.

Sevilla's chanceh is small enough to survive in the la liga. It was only getting draw in the last match which will be making this club to be plunged into the relegation zone. Sevilla gets a precious chance caused by it's having easy fixtures to come soon but im doubting sevilla to take three points from the upcoming games.
Sevilla really needs to overhaul its club. The current coach is not having a lot of choices other than use available resource to play even though these players were so garbage.

Barcelona has disappointed its supporters after the poor results achieved in the last match, the defeat against Villarreal was never predicted because the visitors performance was in poor condition. Xavi, as the person most responsible for making the decision for Barcelona collapse in performance, has decided to quit his job after this season ends. Barcelona must try to recover from its downturn against Osasuna, its position in fourth place is starting to become unsafe after losing three points to Villarreal. Victory is Barcelona goal in this match to secure its position, but Osasuna has already found a way out of Barcelona weaknesses after conceding five goals to Villarreal.

After losing final against Real Madrid moral is down and their performance is also with now lost against Villarreal with the score of 3–5 is terrible now Xavi is also announced he is going to leave club after end of this season which making things more difficult, but now it's time for them to regroup themselves and give their best against Osasuna which is coming to play against them in coming match even this is not going to be easy but still they can much easier for them because they have quality with need improvement in performance.

Now going to face Napoli but before this having few good games which can bring their confidence back which will help them for having better result against Napoli because now they have only this chance for having something better in this season.
