Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 1413. (Read 555379 times)

With the way the match is going, I don't think Barcelona will lose the match. Villareal is seriously under pressure with many goals being missed by Barcelona. Ferran's miss being the most painful to Xavi, their pressured coach.  Coming from two goals down to make it two goals to one is enough morale booster for Barcelona.

Now Barcelona have equalized while I was typing, Pedri just scored a fantastic goal that just changed everything. If Barcelona maintains this pressure,  they will win the match.

What happened to Barcelona? they are one goal behind Villarreal and I think their chances of winning at home are slipping away. I didn't expect against Villarreal to be this difficult for them and if Barcelona lose then they will be even further behind Girona and Real Madrid. It seems that Alejandro Balde's absence due to injury also had quite an impact on Barcelona's defense and I think Xavi also failed to implement a new strategy for his players.

Villarreal played very well and they were not afraid even once even though they were playing in front of their home fans and were able to break through with two goals first. Barcelona's mistakes are still repeated and they are still one of the teams with the highest goals conceded. There are still around 20 minutes left and that's quite a long time to equalize the score or even make a comeback. Could Barcelona lose? Moreover, they must be prepared to endure embarrassment in front of their fans.

Now Barcelona conceded another 2 goals scored by Akhomach in the 54th minute and Barcelona managed to reduce the goal. The temporary score for Barcelona vs Villareal is 1-2, Barcelona's game is sad even though they are playing with their own supporters.

In my opinion, Xavi's tactics are always the same, placing midfielder 1 parallel to the striker, maybe it is feasible if Gavi is there, but because Gavi is injured, it is not feasible to use a midfielder like that, Xavi is not. Not learning from mistakes like that, his tactics are like that. does not change, it is very easy for opponents to guess.

I also think Barcelona should be able to forget its philosophy and play like the modern era. For some reason, I think Real Madrid's game is much better than Barcelona this season. Not a single Barcelona player dared to shoot from outside the penalty box, they were too forced to pass but forgot to shoot at the opponent's goal. Barcelona has only recorded 1 clean sheet in its last 12 matches, this proves that goalkeeper Inaki Pena is not ready to replace Ter Stegen.

How well do y'all rate Araujo honestly, he's got to be one of the worst players for Barcelona who literally does nothing for the club game after game.
In conclusion, it seems like the results of Barcelona are far from good and they'll never get a chance to win. This has to be the lowest of the lowest I have seen Barcelona gone right after the sack of Ronald Koeman who also tried to sink them below.
Xavi Hernandez knows what's at stake in conclusion they have to stop embarrassing games and performance just exactly like this.

How did Real Madrid win today? Would you call that a clear way to win? Tchouameni Aurelien and Vinicius Junior both delivered them goals for them.

It will be a huge shame for Barcelona if today's home match against Villarreal is also lost. Because the Villarreal team is in a very weak position this season. This team is at the bottom of the points table. And their defense is very weak. Villarreal conceded 42 goals in 21 matches this season. And against a weak defense, Barcelona are not playing well today.

Barcelona trailed 1-0 at the end of the first half. Barcelona had 72% of the ball. Barcelona players are dominating the match. But despite attacking a lot, they are unable to score any goals. Barcelona will probably lose today's match as well. Barcelona has no chance of winning the title this season.

Barcelona had to start the second half one goal down. It was not easy for them to equalize, because now it seems that Villareal will focus more on maintaining depth and will only utilize counterattacks.
Barcelona continued to try to get a quick goal at the start of the second half, but their efforts have not yielded any positive results. They must be able to attack better in dismantling the defense built by Villarreal. Otherwise, they will lose.

That is football sometimes you can't predict what will happen, Girona are in good shape this season and no one expects Mallorca to eliminate them in the Copa del Rey. I am very sure Girona will not make mistakes in the league when they meet because they are competing with Real Madrid on winning the trophy. I think Athletico Madrid will win the Copa del Rey this time because they get lucky and defeat Real Madrid in the competition, which means they will win the cup because Madrid are very tough with Girona and Barcelona in the Copa dary but now all of them are eliminated that means is Athletico Madrid that are favorites of winning the trophy. Since they are in good form, I don't think anyone else in the competition can challenge them right now. Girona will be ready for Mallorca in the league, hoping to exact retribution for what they did to them in the cup.


Which Real Madrid performance will he give you that they are the favorites to win the La Liga trophy this time. I am very impressed with the players, which is why even though Real Madrid is losing I still believe they will make a great comeback. Madrid missed many chances in the game against Palmas but they won which is nice for them. Girona faces Celta Vigo tomorrow, let's see if Girona can get the three points against Celta Vigo at home. I believe Girona will try their hardest to defeat Celta Vigo because if they lose or draw against Celta Vigo, Madrid will have a 100% chance of winning the league trophy if Madrid plays against Athletico Madrid and Girona in the second and they win the both match, I will believe Ancelotti has the opportunity to win the La Liga title. I'm not include Barcelona because they're not in good condition and they will play the second leg of the El Classico in Santiago Bernabeu which I'm sure Real Madrid will win.

Before the match started that I was also very confident of course Barcelona would be able to win in this match although it was not easy but yes, at least Barcelona had a better chance of winning compared to Villarreal who were in a bad trend at this moment. But unfortunately, it seems that my prediction was not correct because ya, the reality is that Villarreal managed to win at half time with 0-1. Therefore, it is very likely for Barcelona to get difficulties and deadlock in making goals in this match. Because indeed, at least playing at home also does not fully promise victory, but because Villarreal is in a bad trend at the moment, then Barcelona should be able to maximize it to be able to beat Villarreal in this match.

Yeah Barca is not that good in the 1st half but they still dominating the ball possesion, I think fatigue is the main reason why they play like that in the 1st half.
They have play 8 times since 5th January = 1 match every 3 days.
Barca definitely will score in the 2nd half but maybe only 1 goal.

Barcelona had already conceded one goal in the first half and even if Moreno's first goal had not been canceled then Barcelona would have conceded two goals. Even though there is still quite a long time left in the match, Barcelona is having difficulty finding opportunities to score because Villareal's defense is still quite good.
Statistics show Barcelona's dominant control of the match but Villareal can take advantage of opportunities to score goals. Xavi must try to give instructions to his players in finishing and they must also make a solid defense if they want to equalize or win the match in the second half.

I'm trying to be hopeful that Barcelona will be able to pull up a come back by the end of the second half of the game tonight because so far their performance isn't looking like they will be able to do so but then it's very possible that by the second half they would employ a better approach to making sure they are able to win tonight games.

The statistics of tonights game has been more in favour of Barcelona as they have a better possession and attempt than Villarreal but it's almost looking like one of those bad day for Barcelona in the first half , I'm optimistic about the second half because in their previous games they have done something similar, getting a comeback and winning the game by the end of the game, Villarreal isn't a very tough team such that Barcelona wouldn't have been able to win them but then tonight, so far it's been a different from expectations but I'm not quick to conclusions yet until the game is ended.

Real Madrid seems guaranteed to be able to win against La Palmas, but it looks like if they can overtake Girona it will only be temporary because Girona will also be able to get 3 points against a much weaker club like Celta Vigo.
The competition between Real Madrid and Girona does not seem to have found a bright spot because these two clubs are still maintaining their consistency to continue to stay in first place in the points table.
Looking at past statistical data, Las Palmas has always lost when competing against Real Madrid and the best result for Las Palmas was to end in a draw.
So it is easy to predict this match, anyone will definitely choose to bet on Real Madrid to make a profit.
But I don't hope that at the end of the season Girona will be in first place because it will be seen as something ridiculous when a promoted club can lead LaLiga.

Villa Real is on the lead as the first half ended 1-0 in favor of the visitors. Gerard scored a brilliant goal on the 41st minutes with a quick finish, to give his team the lead.

I didn't see any impressive football that Barcelona played in the first half at home, and if they continue this way in the second half, Villa Real might win the match. However, we shouldn't underestimate Barcelona, because they can become deadly in the second half and win all three points.

Barcelona 0-1 Villarreal

Yes, of course Barcelona will not waste tonight's match, at least to reduce the point difference in the standings, it is indeed a bit difficult to catch 2 teams above them whose point difference is quite large. Yes, of course, with Villarreal's poor performance, Barcelona should be able to take full points in front of its own supporters. But you also need to be careful not to be too careless and Villarreal could steal a goal at the start of the match. As expected, the goal occurred in the first half

Real have not lost since September in La Liga and their last defeat was to Atletico Madrid, almost 5 months ago so they are doing well so far. Scoring and conceding 45 to 14 is the best in the league and in general Real are having one of the best seasons in the last couple of years. Stable squad, Bellingham's successful transfer, Kroos and Modric playing steadily, as well as the strongest midfield in the league in the form of Bellingham, Vinicius and Modric can create a goal in any match.

In this game, Tchouameni saved the day and let Real win again. This is the 10th match when Real Madrid concede first, but get back on track. 

The depth of Madrid squad was the key to victory when they beat Las Palmas, Ancelotti rotation options really worked according to expectations. Bellingham absence is really felt, but what is more important is that Madrid can secure full points and return to the top of the standings by overtaking Girona. If Michel squad wins their match against Celta Vigo, then they will again take over the top position, because Madrid still has one match postponed.

Las Palmas, which holds the status of a promoted club this season in La Liga, managed to provide an interesting resistance against Madrid. Losing narrowly to a club as big as Los Blancos is not a shame, they have tried their best in my opinion. Las Palmas position in the standings is currently quite good for a promoted club, ranking 8th with 31 points collected from 22 weeks. If we compare their consistency with Sevilla, we will see a significant difference.

Brahim Diaz played quite well as a rotation option for Bellingham, but what caught my attention was Arga Guler. Ancelotti has gradually given him more playing time, I think Guler needs to mark his debut going forward by scoring goals. I think there is no doubt at all regarding Madrid performance in the future, if Ancelotti finds his players in a fit condition without any players experiencing injuries.

It was another huge and important win again for Spanish giants Real Madrid which they once again came from one goal down to claim all three points against Las Palmas. It took Vinicius Jr and Aurelien Tchoumeni's second half goals for Real Madrid to overcome the home sides first half lead to get the all important victory.

However, Real Madrid boss must must not continue to rely on late goals to win games if he really want to win the Spanish La Liga title this season. Last weekend against Almeria, they also had to come from behind to claim all three points. If they continue to wait for lat goals before they can win important games like this, they might likely not end up winning such games.

A goal from Tchouameni in the 84th minute gave Real Madrid a lead over Las Palmas in La Liga. I was not surprised to see that Real Madrid struggled to win against Las Palmas today. Las Palmas have been in amazing form in La Liga recently, which could give their opponent a tough time. Finally, Real Madrid are leading the La Liga table with 2 points off Girona.

Real Madrid got away cheap again. They fell behind in another match and turned the game around after the 65th minute. I wonder how long they will continue like this? One day, they won't be able to convert the game they fell behind and will lose points, but they are very lucky this season. The winning streak extended to 5 matches. They are playing well, no lie, but it's a problem that they fall behind every time. Tchouameni scored a good goal after entering the game, Vinicius' goal was already superb. It was important that they won without Bellingham. The fact that Real Madrid doesn't lose any points in any match must be annoying for Girona and Barca.

It seems that Bellingham absence still has quite a bad impact on Real Madrid performance because yes, in this match Bellingham not available due to accumulated cards. But indeed, because Real Madrid has a very good winning mentality, then playing against mediocre teams like this still gives Real Madrid a chance to keep winning. But yes, even though in the end Real Madrid still won, it might also be a sign, because in the last two matches against Almeria and against Las Palmas, it was actually not easy for Real Madrid to win . Therefore, of course it is time for Ancelotti to overcome this problem, of course to be even better when playing against stronger teams later in La Liga and also to prepare the team better for matches in the Champions League.
