Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 4216. (Read 531378 times)

Zidane and his players do all they can to get total points in La Liga and a spot in semi final of Champions League. I think they can sacrifice the La Liga and spend all human resources, concentration and mentality for Champions League.

They are not in a too bad position in La Liga but focus on both can end with failures in both competitions. The Champions Leauge is hard to say but if they have to choose one, it should be Champions League not the La Liga.

3 more matches and I think Real Madrid can beat Chelsea. In the final match, they can beat PSG or Manchester City. Tough task of course but more possible than La Liga.

I warned earlier in this thread that Real players are very tired of too many games in a short time and they currently have a lot of injured players as well.
Unlike Barcelona and Atletico they are still competing in the Champions League.
I wondered if Real players could endure such an effort and it's obvious that they can't and it will be very difficult for them to follow Barcelona and Atletico until the end of the season.
Zidane had only 13 available senior players for this match yesterday.

I din't expected them to drop points, it was typo. As I said, Real were missing few players, but it's not excsuse, because Getafe is one of worst teams in La Liga this season.

Here it is very clear that Real Madrid is too dependent on Benzema, therefore Real Madrid has difficulty scoring goals if Benzema is not played
from the start. Madrid's midfield also needs the figure of Toni Kroos, the absence of Kross shows the lack of through passing needed by the front line
from Madrid. A draw with Getafe could not be accepted by Madrid supporters, as it wasted the opportunity to get close to the points that Atletico
Madrid had. And also open up opportunities for Barcelona to replace Madrid in second place. Hopefully Real Madrid's next match when facing Cadiz
plays Benzema and Kross from the start of the match, so that Real Madrid can win the match.

Atletico Madrid was back on time, on a very decisive phase of La Liga. Any expanding gap in this phase will be important for the final result of La Liga competition. All teams have been tired and one or two failures in this period will be ending points for the competition.

Real Madrid seems to waive their flag and surrendered and I think they will focus for the Champions League with 3 maximum matches to win and get the trophy.

It is a key match to bring confidence back to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona is under pressure to win their match. If they drop points, Atletico Madrid will need to win 6 per 7 matches to get the trophy. It is a perfect form and only needed if Real Madrid and Barcelona win their rest 7 matches.

Zidane expected the things when he told that his players reached their limits physically. He knows his players are great but with intensity to play in the rescheduled fixtures because of pandemic and the serious injury wave in his squad, the rest healthy players have to use more than 100% energy to play.

Such efforts help Real Madrid to keep up their hope to win trophies but it won't be a guarantee that they will win all. Zidane is very wise say this fact ahead of time. It help him to avoid troubles with accusations. Anyway, will he leave Real Madrid in the summer?

Hm, why did you expect Real to dop points here? Clearly, it was their duty to get those three points. This game was quite vital for the championship. I know Real loses points against weaker teams quite frequently in recent times, but after reaching the semi finals in the CL I thought they may be able to manage to play with some consistency until the end of the season.

Seems it comes down to match day #35: Barcelona vs. Atletico, but in Barcelona. Pretty even game given that there is no audience, but it's most likely the most important match day in La Liga this season.

What do you guys think who'll make it in the end?

Oh, and one more thing is important to keep in mind: in La Liga it is the direct comparison which decides the championship, not the goal difference. Madrid has Barcelona beat, and Atletico won the first leg 1:0.

As you said @LTU_btc - it is daaaaamn hot on the top!

With Barcelona and Real Madrid not far much back this race isn't over till the 90minutes of all 38 games and if it will be decided by goals well they are doing a great job, not to sound anti Atletico but for a change I don't want a winner coming from either Barcelona or Real Madrid these guys have enough silverware in their trophy rooms.

Are you saying more work for Real Madrid and less work for any of Real Madrid's opponents between now and the end of the 3020/2021 UEFA games.

From the reasons that Real Madrid have fallen in this games and accepted the 1 pints is that they had Injuries and absences were larger and heavier than tey would think of the attack and they had a lesser quality than their opponent in most centers.
Getafe wasted the opportunity of their life by not beating Madrid after the failure of the 15th attempt. In a row, after brilliance, not strange to Courtois, who was the man of the match .
This got Barcelona to come back to life again and Atletico_Madrid moved away in the lead .

I think a draw was an expect result if you took in consideration all the games that Real had in the last 10 games because this was the 4th one and no player could perform at high results every game and they should be thankful that they manage to draw because Getafe clearly wanted to win and secure those 3 points. For Real Madrid all the matters now it's to focus and reach the final of UCL and in the same time to maintain a normal gap between them and ATL.Madrid.

It is a clearly poor result. I am surprised Real Madrid having difficulties in scoring against Getafe. They even only made two shots on target during the match. How can? With this result, I doubt Real Madrid can win against Chelsea in UCL or even winning the La Liga title. They looks have no power to score without Benzema on the front line. I cannot imagine if Benzema gets injured in the next match. Then, Real Madrid suddenly gives up on the title this season, both in UCL and La Liga.

A draw was not an expected result and I didn't expect Real Madrid to have a hard time winning today. Barcelona will also face Getafe on April 23 and this is a great opportunity for them to make the most of it. A win from Getafe will be mandatory for Barcelona if they want to continue to suppress Atletico Madrid's position at the top.

This draw is arguably not a good result for Real Madrid because now they are 3 points behind Atletico Madrid, and there is even a possibility that Barcelona will take second place (considering Barcelona has 1 game less than Real Madrid).

So, Real failed to beat Getafe and game ended 0:0. Honestly, it's that game where I expected to see Real dropping points - Getafe looks so poor this season. But today they played very well. Yes, Real were missing some players, but I think it's not excuse when you're playing against Getafe.
This result is obviously good for Atletico who trashed Eibar 5:0 and Barca who haven't played this round. It's damn hot on the top.

Yeah, the game ended in a barren draw. Neither team were able to convert their chances. Even Madrid barely attempts - just 2 shots on target. Considering the fact that Madrid has much more bigger games to play in the next few days, I can't say I'm that disappointed just that I was really hoping that they would reduce the gap even further. While Zidane is chasing UCL glory, he shouldn't abandon La liga title race so he doesn't end up missing out on both titles. A bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush. My small bet on Madrid to win got X already.

Looks like Getafe came to play in full force today so I will not be surprised if somehow they will score in the 2nd half because they had some mini chances to score in the first one. Real Madrid is clearly not in a full push mode because they would've scored until now but the pressure of a final in UCL is above them and Zidane knows it so a draw would be nice for them in this conditions.

It was a big fat and flawless win for Atletico Madrid, It's very unusual for Atletico Madrid to score more than two goals, but they scored 5 today moreso without their talisman and top scorer, Luis Suarez.

It's still all square between Getafe and Real Madrid after 45 minutes, it's been a quite even game, Madrid needs a win here.

Atletico Madrid defeated Eibar with 5 goals. Real Madrid has no choice but to win. The champions league match fatigue can still continue. Although this has a bad effect for them, they are obviously strong enough to defeat Getafe.

It was a long awaited good performance; after Atletico Madrid has been dreadful in over 11 games; which has led to Real Madrid and Barcelona catching up wit them in the race for Spanish champions. The win takes them 4 points ahead of an Injury hit Real Madrid side who goes away at Getafe later tonight. Atletico Madrid needs to keep tonight's form if they intend to win the la liga title this year.

Atletico played very well against Eibar, They managed to control the match until the referee blew the long whistle, the 5 goals scored by Atletico prove their attacker is on fire. Atletico must maintain this kind of performance until the last match to be able to bring home the title of champion this year.

Zidane had to rack his brains to determine the starting Xl against Getafe, because many of their players were injured and the fatigue factor against Liverpool at ULC, but if we look at the performance of Getafe player, Real madrid are very easy to get 3 points in this match.

Not so surprising to Sevilla's win, although their rankings are not that different but it seems we all share the same view of Real Sociedad's declining form. In addition, with the result of losing to Real Sociedad, of course this moment will be put to good use by Villarreal against Levante which will start in the next few hours. But even so, Villarreal will not easily get 3pts because Levante is not a weak team. It will be an interesting match for me, although I believe the match will be tight but I will still bet on Villarreal.
