Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 1506. (Read 552986 times)

There is still half the season and I am quite optimistic for Sevilla they will crawl up from their current position. Sevilla is a big force in La Liga and even though they are currently in a place where they shouldn't be, that can still be resolved well in the future. They just need to avoid the relegation zone and must regain their confidence to win. It's not easy when a big team continues to experience things like this every season and they have to provide the best results for their fans so they can still watch them compete in La Liga next season.

Improving the squad is the main focus that they must complete because the current squad is still deemed incapable of stabilizing results. Management needs to take action and not be too late so that it is difficult to catch up with other teams who are above them.

Bringing in Gundogan is great for Barcelona because at least they can make some difference in midfield and his ability has been tested so it's not wrong for Gundogan to be in Xavi's midfield at the moment but if you say the reason he can change at crucial times is actually a fifty-fifty despite the good performance he had before the penalty.

In this match it was still very good for Barcelona because they got back 3 points while securing their 3rd place from Atletico's pursuit but until now the problem is still the same for Barcelona where they are still struggling to make the advantage in terms of opportunities and possession into goals and in today's match it was actually seen how they were confused by Las Palmas, which in terms of level was very far below them.

Yes that's true and I think this season belongs to Girona and Madrid to win the Laliga title, Barcelona will definitely have difficulty catching up if they play inconsistently in the next few games, Xavi may have a tough task to make this team continue to maintain its best performance , because in my opinion they still have a chance to stay in the top four this season even if they don't win the Laliga title.

The narrow victory against Las Palmas was actually more than enough for Barcelona, but they almost shared the points with a draw and will make the hunt even more difficult. If Barcelona wants to continue chasing Madrid and Girona, at least they will continue to be on the winning path to be able to get closer to the gap. points from both top clubs and just waiting for Girona and Madrid to make mistakes at the end of the season.

There were some bad things affected the performance sevilla thies season

1. Mendilibar sacked
2. So many key players who helped club to won europa league last season left caused by sevilla put all of them for sale.
3. Financial issue

These things were affecting the performance from sevilla. I know that if sevilla was performing even worse since mendilibar got sacked. Im not doubting if sevilla performed like a mediocre club since it was losing everything due to the financial issue. Idk whether sevilla has sorted it our or not. Financial issue was always harming sevilla.  Sevilla has no hope anymore to go up again. Im just realizing the truth that if sevilla has so many bad players on its club.

There had been some players leaving from there and it was adding very bad impact to the performance of sevilla. The new coach has very limited resource to make the club to perform better this time.
It was also giving limited room for the club to growth. This is the main problem of sevilla that can be solved through money.

Now something like this is still not too late and it could be that this is just one of the plans of Madrid and Ancelotti who really don't want rumors about them looking for players to be revealed because however when looking at some of the conditions that have occurred in the past few seasons we know that Madrid always wants to be more closed with the media so that the Mbappe and Madrid incident some time ago does not happen again and I think at this time we just need to trust what Madrid will do in the end because they always surprise in the last few seasons including at the beginning of this season when they released 3 strikers at once and made loans and returns of players that were actually not too unexpected because their money can still be used to buy players. only need to trust what Madrid will do in the end because indeed they have always made surprises in the last few seasons including at the beginning of this season when they released 3 strikers at once and made loans and returns of players who were actually not too unexpected because their money could still buy more expensive players but in the end the return of Brahim Dias and the loan of Joselu proved to be still quite good until now.

Sevilla's performance is still very far from expectations but saying they will move to Segunda Division is too hasty in my opinion.
Currently Sevilla's performance is unpredictable because they can immediately play very well and shoot up at least to secure their position in the middle standings like last season so even though now they are still playing not too well but saying for sure they will go down the caste and leave La Liga I think this is still too hasty because after all their focus is currently only La Liga and we know their characteristics when only focusing on 1 competition.

Luckily, an additional goal from the penalty spot in injury time meant Barcelona avoided a draw. Barcelona recent dramatic victory really helped them in the standings, the additional three points took them to third place with a difference of seven points from Real Madrid and Girona. Gundogan became the hero of Barcelona's victory even though his goal came from the penalty spot, but in general Barcelona's performance still has too much to improve.
Barcelona is still having difficulty winning against a team like Las Palmas due to its declining performance, Xavi Hernandez will have difficulty leading his team to win the title again if they don't immediately improve their performance in the second half.

Gundogan was the savior for barcelona but oh wait, refereee was the real savior for barcelona coz it gives a penalty for barcelona. The result against palmas told us the real quality of barcelona. It has been degrading a lot compared to the last season.
It feels barcelona is not the same like last season when it was always playing very well against other club. It was even beating real madrid three times in a row unlike this time.

Losing some players will make the situation even worst. Barcelona is going to lose some like pedri which is bad caused by he has been always helping barcelona to build a good attack toward its opponent.
There are some players will leave from there soon. I expect cancelo and felix will not extend their contract. Pedri will be leaving from barcelona as free agent too.

The hard time for barcelona becomes even closer than before and i can't even expect this club to stay at the top 4. There will be tougher match for barcelont to come soon. It looks so pathetic.

I'm not sure whether Barcelona can be called playing well in this match due to the fact that the two teams almost played a draw if there was no penalty in the 93rd minute Barcelona might only get 1 point but yeah Barcelona was saved by luck. Based on statistics, the two teams played evenly it's just that Barcelona controlled the attack a little but the attack didn't mean anything I mean it's not dangerous attack. Overall, Barcelona's performance has not been optimal even in the last few matches we can see that almost all matches end in a draw and in my opinion Barcelona has problems in defense, in the last 5 matches Barcelona conceded 8 goals that is a bad record as a champion candidate in La Liga. In the next match Barcelona will play away against Real Betis well, we know that Real Betis is a team that is difficult to beat when playing at home I'm afraid Barcelona will miss points in this match maybe just a draw or even a loss.

The result did not surprise me. Athletic club is a team which is in the 5th position and doing very well constantly. Sevilla on the other hand, I don't know what happened to them. They can't seem to be doing anything at all. They are right around the relegation zone with 16 points. Who knows they might even get relegated this season. Who would say that they were the team who were in the top 4 just 2 seasons back? Last season they performed poorly as well and this season it is even worse.

But credits should be given where it is due. Athletic Club are now in the 4th position because Atletico Madrid lost that match against Girona. Athletic Club may even catch Barcelona if they can keep up since Barcelona is struggling.

It doesn't look like Sevilla has any hope of surviving in La Liga and they are now increasingly miserable because they sit in a position close to relegation. Several years ago they were a strong team in La Liga but for some reason they fell so deeply recently that they were unable to compete with even weak teams. Sevilla seemed to be running out of time and the previous defeat against Athletic Bilbao also hit them hard.

In today's match Las Palmas vs Barcelona two teams came to the field to play in the Spanish League. Barcelona team won the match by scoring 2 goals in today's match. I placed a bet in support of Barcelona team in today's match. I won the bet in today's match because Barcelona team played very well. But the game started.  Palmas player scored the first goal in the first 12 minutes. On the other hand, Barcelona team player F. Torres scored the first goal in the 55th minute. İ.  Gündoğan scored the 2nd goal at 90+3 minutes.

At this point Sevilla is a sure target towards LaLiga 2  because it's clear that current team have no desire to actually play football and save this club for a real disaster that is relegation. It will also be the first time in club history when they will face this situation and the fact that they are in debt over 800 mil $ makes me thing they do want to go to LaLiga 2 and re-build a fresh team there under a new project. 

Barcelona scouts good players that would helped the team in crucial moments, last night was a perfect illustration for a player to uplift the club. Las Palmas was leading from first half, they were desperate to net another goal but finally succumb because Barcelona didn't hold back, they reciprocate their actions and levelled the scores, then injury time, Gundogan comprehend a stunning penalty kick into the post. İlkay Gundogan deserves his flowers, his presence in Camp Nou have been significant and he's a key player in the midfield room for Barcelona.

We can indeed expect more from Girona this season. But on condition that they must be able to maintain their current performance. Because Girona always exceeds everyone's expectations this season. In fact, they managed to beat Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in their first meeting this season. And among the 3 teams, only Real Madrid is able to beat them this season. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Atletico have to admit that they are not much better than Girona this season.

Personally, I still see Real Madrid as having the potential to win the title. But Girona also has the potential to do it this season. So I can conclude that Girona and Real Madrid are the two clubs that will compete most fiercely this season. Both of them even have the same number of points at the moment. But if Real Madrid has a busier schedule and Girona doesn't. From this it can also be considered that your suspicions about Girona could come true.

Im glad Xavi won't be fired. The contest was a rollercoaster, right? Barcelona barely beating Las Palmas wasnt pretty. They must improve. Their offense and defense aren't what they used to be. Its worrying. The first half was boring, and Xavi was clearly unhappy. Though they won, it seemed like a loss. Barcelona must improve. They're still a top team, but they must play like it to stay there.

What a lifeline, Gundogan's penalty! Barcelona avoided a humiliating tie with that moment. This win should wake them up. We must stop relying on late saves. Xavi and the team must unite, repair those mistakes, and play Barca again. Its about proving they're still top contenders, not just keeping third place.

Barcelona won with game 1:2, but the main thing is that they won, and the score is secondary. The first half was very difficult for Barcelona, but Xavi was able to turn the game around in the second half and we saw a completely different game.
Yes, you are right Gundogan is a very important player for Barcelona, but he was the same player for City. I couldn’t understand then why he made such a decision and decided to leave the City, to be honest, I still don’t understand why he did it. Barcelona is 7 points behind Real Madrid and Girona, and so far it seems that they will not be able to join these teams in the title race.

Since İlkay Gundogan arrived in Barcelona from Manchester City he has been useful for Barcelona and also helped Barcelona to win matches. I wonder why Pep Guardiola could allow a player like İlkay Gundogan to leave Manchester City. Barcelona's win yesterday against Las Palmas has put them back in the La Liga title race.

Bad news has come for Barcelona because their wing-back Joao Cancelo is reported to have suffered a left MCL strain and is certain to be out for an undetermined amount of time. Joao Cancelo suffered this injury after the match against Las Palmas last night and he was pulled off the field because he was unable to continue the match. Now Barcelona has lost one of their strengths in defense and the absence of Joao Cancelo will certainly weaken their defense.

Xavi must be able to rotate his players again and it is possible that Sergi Roberto will temporarily fill the position left by Joao Cancelo. Barcelona cannot lose and they must continue the winning trend they have had in the last few weeks. But the problem lies in their next opponent because it will be against Real Betis and it will not be an easy match for them to beat.

People are waiting to see Lewandowski that score 40 goals and rarely missing good opportunities like he used to do with Bayern Munich. Unfortunately, he isn't young any longer and I don't expect him to perform as in the previous years.
I know Barcelona found on him the best option when they recruited him in the previous season but he will not be definitely a long term option for them, rather a temporary solution until they find out a better striker..
Joao Félix doesn't appear to be the best option too so I wonder if the problem is in the team itself or several players dropping in performance in Barcelona!

Barcelona have not been performing well lately and it is really down to what Xavi impacts on the boys and if the performance is bad the club have every right to sack him and look for better alternatives. Their performance have been poor and even in the match Las Palmas were more threatening and had more chances to bury the match but they couldn’t and they got punished for that and the red card made it worse for them, the pushing was very unnecessary because the match was almost finished. Good result for Barcelona even with bad performance all that matters was securing maximum points.

Barcelona doesn’t look like they used to, they are slowly becoming a mid team and if they don’t take things seriously they may find it difficult to make it to the Champions League.
