Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 2688. (Read 542248 times)

One of the major clubs in laliga, Barça has many well-known players on their roster. The players have a strong rapport and experience. Due to the team's outstanding performance, there is no doubt that Barça will win the La Liga this year. The squad has to progress in other competitions, such as the UEFEA and Europa league, in addition to its official league, which is fantastic news for the fans. Real Madrid is one of the major title contenders, but Los Blancos haven't played consistently in the league, losing points to ordinary teams. The ultimate goal for Xavi Hernandez is to generate more points since Carlo Ancelotti, his adversary who is devising strategies to cut the gap with barça, must be avoided.

Current La Liga standing awhile, Barcelona seem confidence lead top standing position after remaining 11 points behind Real Madrid and still have one match left against Elche. Seems not compete with La Liga depend on current standing position and actually points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But La Liga have 17 matches left and anything could be possible between Real Madrid back to the top standing position or Barcelona keep comfortable on top standing position until La Liga season 2022/2023 finished. Lets predicting will Barcelona become the champion? after last time on season 2018/2019 become the La Liga winner.

In this match, Barcelona started well, attacking while coordinating well. Barcelona also made a few mistakes at the back, however. Some of them were well covered up. The others, however, were poorly executed by Villareal. There was every chance that this match would end in a draw. Despite that, Barcelona were able to earn 3 points from this match because of Villareal's finishing.

But I must give credit to Barcelona for the way they attack, and the link-up play between their players. Barcelona wins matches not because of individual skill, but because of good teamwork.

Getafe and Valencia still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone. in their second meeting, Valencia should have a superior game than Getafe. but because indeed both of them are also in the relegation zone and points will be very important for both of them. of course, the best game will be shown by both teams.
Momentum-wise, Getafe may have the better mentality. with their strong defensive play, they managed to hold off some strong teams. and that's a good capital before they meet with Valencia.

Barcelona is still safe at the top of the standings for at least the next few matches because the difference in points with competitors is very far. The victory that Real Sociedad just won made the gap with Atletico Madrid to four points. Meanwhile, to replace Real Madrid, it still needs a few more matches, and even then it depends on Real Madrid performance in the next match.

Now Sociedad is only 3 points away from Real Madrid, but Real Madrid still has the chance to make the distance to 6 points because they still have one game left. An exchange of positions is still very possible if one of these three clubs is unable to maintain their performance. Atletico position is also very vulnerable because Real Betis is still trying to climb into the top four.

I wonder why Valencia recruited Gennaro Gattuso as a coach, because so far basically when Gennaro Gattuso coached Milan and Napoli the results weren't good either. So it's not surprising that Valencia is experiencing a very bad trend this season and is very worrying, because if Valencia cannot recover, it is likely that Valencia will be relegated.

But apart from that and for the next match against Getafe, basically at this moment they are both in the relegation zone which means they have qualities that are not much different. Therefore, Valencia must be able to take advantage of this moment to win, not caring about head to head, the most important thing is that Valencia must be able to play better than Getafe.

But Getafe at this time really can not be underestimated. because in the last 2 matches Getafe was able to hold Rayo and Atletico Madrid to a draw. Meanwhile, Valencia continues to experience defeat lately. However, with the change of coach, I also hope that Valencia can return to their better performance.

If I'm not mistaken, Benzema won the Ballon d'Or by a record margin of second place. He scored 549 points, and the second place (Mane) 193. That is, the vast majority of those who voted decided that he was worthy of this award last season. I wonder if you have any arguments against this? Can you name a player who was better than him?

Then who should have won the Ballon d'Or that Benzema brought?  If I'm not mistaken, there are four names of Sadio Mane, Kevin De Bruyne, and Robert Lewandowski. Benzema beat them in the vote and the champion was yesterday. But if you look at those four names, I did choose Benzema. That might be the last Ballon d'Or  for him. Seeing that he has already entered the current retirement age. So Benzema will probably follow Bale, Ronaldo to leave Madrid after he is not needed in Madrid. Then henceforth I think Messi will be a strong candidate to win Ballon d'Or  because he winning the 2023 World Cup.

Once again Real Sociedad showed that they have improved a lot and are ready to provide tough competition in the top 4 of the standings. Previously, Real Sociedad was a club that could always compete in the European zone, but they could only compete under the top 4. But this season they have changed a lot and as we can see now they can compete in the Champions League zone.
Actually Espanyol's game itself is not too bad, it's just that they are easy to concede so that makes them look weak. After the 3 goal lead that Real Sociedad got, Espanyol could reduce the position, but the time left was not enough for them to be able to create the 3rd goal to equalize the position.

Ruben Baraja is the new coach of Valencia. After parting ways with Gattuso, Valencia continued to lose their matches. Now Ruben Baraja has taken over the team and all hope is to stay in the league. Valencia had never had such a bad time in its history. They need to go back to their old shining days. Valencia, one of the 5 teams that come to mind in Spain, cannot be relegated to the 2nd league. I hope they recover soon. The next Getafe game is a great opportunity for them. It will be a good start to see victories again.

Surely this will make the competition in the top 4 even more fierce, here Barcelona is not included because he already has a difference of more than 10 points. Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid are all three likely in the next 2 matches to shift positions to each other, but depending on if the three teams can maintain victory then their position will remain the same as now.

I know what you are talking about when you say that they won some guys with a lot of luck, but over time their defense just turned into a fortress. It is not about lucky anymore that their opponents can't score. Barcelona understands how to control the ball and how to keep it out of the danger zone.
But you are right that this doesn't mean they will be competing for the biggest titles next season already. I think a first milestone is the game against Manchester United now. That's when it is more valid to judge whether or not they are ready to compete with stronger teams. Still in La Liga nobody is able to keep up with them for now.

To be honest, as a Barcelona fan I was really disappointed when they played their games at the start of the season. plus, a lousy game in the Champions League. I can understand that, because after all Xavi has just rebuilt Barcelona's strength. it will be very difficult, if you hope that Barcelona will immediately transition into a very tough team. evidently, Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League. also, the wins that Barcelona achieved at the start of the season, mostly from luck. I mean, they played badly but were lucky to get full points.

Well, after the post-world cup. something has changed from Barcelona's playing pattern. in particular, when they had an El Clasico match in the Supercopa de Espana event. my point, Gavi is calmer playing, it seems he is starting to mature in terms of the game, Dembele is also getting more mature, and the most vital thing in my opinion is the role of the two Pivots. since De Jong was paired with Busquest. the system that Barcelona is running looks more structured, combinations and transitions between players are starting to show their rhythm. I'm quite happy to see the rhythm of Barcelona's game this time, it's only natural that they are predicted to win the La Liga, Copa Del Rey and Europa League trophies. but it seems, Barcelona must work hard to realize their mission.

I agree that Barcelona's improved performance since being eliminated from the Champions League is not a mere coincidence. Barcelona, like every other team, strives to win every title it competes for. As an ambitious club, Barcelona will seek to win the La Liga championship as well as the Copa del Rey and Europa League. It's true that the level of competition in the UEL is lesser than in the UCL, but with several top teams competing, the UEL this season has a similar vibe to the UCL. I do not believe this can be used as an excuse for their past performance in La Liga during their absence from the UCL. The club has previously demonstrated the capacity to win multiple titles in a single season, including the UCL crown.

Regarding the idea that Barcelona is a key title objective, I believe it is essential to acknowledge that winning La Liga alone may not be deemed a success at the end of the season. Adding one or two titles would make Xavi Hernandez's squad's record impressive. Thursday night's game versus Manchester United will be thrilling and will determine whether Barcelona can win the Europa Champions League.

Based on head to head, I think it's quite clear that Real Sociedad is a team that is difficult for Espanyol to beat. What's more, the trend of the two teams at this moment has a very wide difference, so it's only natural that Real Sociedad can win this match.

But the victory with a narrow score, at least is proof that Real Sociedad is not as strong as imagined. Because even Espanyol, who had been left behind with a score of 0-3, but in the end Espanyol were still able to score two quick goals in the 15th towards the end of the match.

Espanyol must be losing some points as well as its defender too. That was giving more disadvantage for espanyol once this club will be facing the next opponent. Real sociedad is quite consistent at this moment after it was facing difficulties to win the game. Real sociedad is a promising club after real madrid and barcelona. I saw how strong real sociedad right now even compared with atletico madrid. Real sociedad has 4 points gap against the atletico madrid. Atletico madrid was slowly climbing up  again. Atletico madrid wanna try to enter into the top 3.

Benzema is a good player, not the best and not even (in my opinion) entitled to win the Ballon d'Or.
However he has an age and can't play at high levels indefinitely, he should figure it out by himself.
There comes a time when you have to step aside.

@Mamesso how can you say Barcelona on major target title is the Spanish league title? Every team wants to win every title they're playing in . Barcelona is an ambitious team, that wish to win every trophies. Winning just the Laliga title will not be a good success at the end of the season, but adding one or two tittle to it will give Xavi Hernandez squad a good record at the end of the season. Barcelona will be facing Manchester United on Thursday night, a game we're waiting for, this game will determine if Barcelona will win the Europa champions league or not.

I think it's just a coincidence, the increase in form that Barcelona experienced coincided after they had been knocked out of the Champions League. Barcelona still has another target after winning the Spanish Super Cup. Apart from wanting to secure the La Liga trophy, Barcelona is also still active in the CDR and UEL.
The level of UEL is indeed lower than UCL, but the atmosphere at UEL this season is like at UCL because there are several big teams there. It cannot be used as an excuse for the performance they have shown in La Liga while absent in the UCL, previously Barcelona won six titles at once in one season, one of which was the UCL title.
