New season is finally starting today! We have two games:

  • Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe
  • Betis vs Girona

As for making predictions, it's really difficult. Because the season is just starting and we don't have any idea how teams will perform. Depending on squad changes, I see Athletic Bilbao is still maintaining the quality. I expect them to start with a victory.  Smiley

Betis vs Girona is even harder to predict. But Girona lost very important members of their squad this summer. Dovbyk, Aleix Garcia, Savinho, Yan Couto... Because of that they might not start with a good result. I think Betis will win.
Finally two months waiting for is over and today have two La Liga match for season 2024/25, Athletic Bilbao will face Getafe on the first match and keep confidence after success make their favorite player Nico Williams sty and wearing the crucial 10 number leave by Iker Muniain. Usually first match its difficult for predicting because both team between Athletic Bilbao or Getafe still not on the full composition team exactly for Getafe after leaving by Mason Greenwood played 33 matches last season and have join with Marseille.

Another opening La Liga match between Real Betis vs Girona, its first match for Girona take challenge keep their top fourth position standing in this season although have leave by many important players from Dovbyk, Aleix Garcia and Savinho.
All of them have bigger contribution for Girona last season exactly their top scorer Dovbyk and Girona need new adaption leving by many important players.

One of the seven titles has been won by Real Madrid this season and next can they collect the remaining six titles? Anyway, being able to win seven titles in one season will make the winner be nicknamed the Septuple. Smiley

It feels quite difficult but this is the Real Madrid we know, especially with the star-filled squad that is now there, it feels very possible. We certainly don't want to expect full every season because for the treble winner they are very difficult but now they are much stronger for their challengers and with high confidence that increases every season makes it more possible.

We talk about La Liga, of course this is the title they will be targeting second after winning the Supercup. Next there is the champions league where they are the kings of the competition and will be back to back champions if they manage to defend it. However, there is one competition that always makes it difficult for them to complete the Treble winner, namely the Copa Del Rey and maybe this is the most difficult title they will get. The other remaining titles feel familiar in their trophy cabinet so that won't be a problem. Well, it is highly anticipated that the team with the best squad in the world will compete in all competitions this season and of course it would be crazy if Real Madrid could win them all.

In life, one needs to do what makes him happy as everything is not about money. We actually know that Mbappé stayed in PSG against his wish because of money. But today he is very joyous to lift the super cup.

Although, my expectations were met. I really knew Madrid will win this, it would have been somewhat difficult to predict assuming it was the anticipated Real Madrid Vs Bayern Leverkusen. But in all congratulations to Mbappe and Real Madrid.
I actually expected Real Madrid to win; but I was also ready for the element of surprise since Atalanta gave the same to Bayer Leverkusen and if you saw the game you'd notice they tried doing the same to Real Madrid that was why in the first half, there was no shot on target because they were prepared for Ancelloti and his boys, blocking every move and to an extent, it frustrated Real Madrid.
 Mbappe will never forget yesterday as this is the first time he'd participating in a Super cup final and even carrying the trophy which means he made the right choice by leaving PSG behind.

My expectations for today are Athletic Bilbao to win and a draw in the Betis - Girona game. Keeping Williams in the team is really important. I think Athletic Bilbao will have another decent season. [...]

Your expectations will only run 50%, Bilbao won from Getafe, it makes sense, they are playing a home game & still have Nico in their team, will make this match their first 3 point field. The other 50% will fail, because Real Betis is also playing a home game, i hope Real Betis can win this game because they are on my betting slip.
Looking at the statistical comparison of both teams last season, and measuring the strength of both teams, I think Bilbao has a better chance of winning the match than Getafe, especially with the advantage of playing at home.

Girona and Real Betis are difficult to predict, looking at the overall meetings between Betis and Girona during La Liga, Real Betis' winning ratio is higher, and Girona has never won at Betis' home. Considering this, it would be right to bet on Real Betis.

In the first half the match felt quite boring because both teams had difficulty penetrating each other's defense. But I understood in the end that Real Madrid was just measuring the opponent's strength to reveal their true strategy in the second half. And yes, in the second half the game became quite different. Real Madrid began to dominate attacks and Atalanta found it difficult to build attacks. Even though in the first half Atalanta played quite well and the attack they built was also quite well organized. Well, in essence the results of this match were in line with what we expected. And most importantly, Mbappe started with a good debut by scoring 1 goal in that match. and it is hoped that with a good start, Mbappe will become more confident and be sharper when Laliga starts. Real Madrid played in a safe and calm manner. And yes, that's because they had the confidence to win the match from the start.
Mbappe has really made a name for himself with his great performance. His creativity, skill, and vision on the field add a dynamic edge to the team. He's proven he can influence the game and make key plays, just like we saw against Atalanta. Because of that, Real Madrid started this season just like they ended the last one. While yesterday wasn’t his best performance, the connection between him and Jude was surprising. With the way his teammates set him up for the goal, I can see him scoring a lot this season. This team looks ready to dominate Europe again. Let's wait and see.

Mbappe is yet to prove to the world that he is a great player because the season is yet to begin and the Real Madrid coach is yet to drop his tactics where Mbappe will have the opportunity to showcase his striking force which he has not enjoyed since playing in PSG as a result of the level of players in PSG team. Mbappe will not just showcase his skill but he will enjoy a good atmosphere considering the quality players in the Real Madrid team and he will find it easy to score goals as a result of the creative players who will be feeding him with passes they will help him to score more goals to help his team and his individual performance as a striker in the team.

Watching his performance yesterday it shows what the team should expect because his influence in the game brought fear to the Atalanta team because his runs, abilities to striker from every angle and his ball control shows how good he is with the ball, there's no more words to qualify him he's just a good signing for the Madrid team and he's got a new opportunity to win trophies and his closer to a team which will bring out the real potential in him so expecting more goals and trophies in all competitions is sure for Real Madrid next season.

Getafe has no chance today. Athletic Bilbao wants to start the season very well. Their players played very well in Euro 2024. Williams in particular mentioned his name very often. All the teams and fans want him to show the same performance in his league games. If he does this, Athletic Bilbao will be in the top ranks this year too. There will be enjoyable matches in the evening and we will say hello to La Liga.

In the case of Mbappe, he came to Real Madrid, played in the final, scored goals and won the trophy. Mbappe made his debut in the Real Madrid jersey in the final of the UEFA Super Cup and he scored in the first match to secure the victory for the team. atalanta was not a tough opponent for real madrid so before the start of the match i thought that real madrid would win easily and that's how real madrid won and confirmed the title. However, Mbappe's debut in Real Madrid's jersey has to be said to be royal. His debut in the final of a major tournament and in that final where he scored and secured the title will surely be memorable for him.
Mbappe was lucky in his debut with Los Blancos, he presented the UEFA Super Cup trophy, even scored the last goal for Real Madrid, this is an extraordinary achievement for mbappe with his new club.
yes everyone must think like that and it is true that el real won the match last night well. I thought atalanta would play defensively by utilizing fast counterattacks, it turned out my guess was wrong, they played well in the first half and were not afraid to face real madrid. it was proven that los blancos did not get many opportunities in the first half.
but here I salute coach ancelotti, the strategy he implemented, he put in many substitute players in the midfield position after they scored 2 goals, he stacked the midfielders to be able to withstand atalanta's attacks, and we see atalanta was unable to create many opportunities after being 2 goals behind,
the point is congratulations to real madrid last night an extraordinary match.

Mbappe marks his debut at Real Madrid with a goal and a trophy! What a way to start life at the Bernabeu. Indeed Atalanta were no match for them and even though they put up a well structured defense, the likes of Vini Jr and Bellingham and even Mbappe still found a way to break through.

Yeah! Expected that from him (mbappe) to seal his debut for realmadrid  with a goal so I wasn't too surprised actually and I know he will want to do same for his first game in La-Liga though this was strategised  as Atalanta  went somewhat a little bit high in their defence for the first half  so I guess the second half was supposed to be utile8sed for goal(Atalanta), so did Realmadrid besides we know who will win when it comes to that... it was a easy second half actually
We should admit that he found it a bit difficult to get goals at the onset. He is lucky to have had the kind of men around him, guiding him through the game, giving him chances when he misuses one. This is sixth Super cup Real Madrid are clinching, surpassing Barcelona and AC Milan who have had five each.
 At this rate, I don't think any club can match the way Carlo Ancelloti has built his Real Madrid, they have become so formidable and confident that any team pitted against them will have to be on a 101% best.
When they were lacking a striker, they still raked in good results but now they have gotten a number 9 in Mbappe, I feel they are set for another champions league and domestic league title.

[...] Meanwhile, for the Betis vs Girona match, I think I will be on Girona's side. I still have high hopes for this club after last season they showed good results. Even though at the moment they have lost one of their best players on the front line, I am sure that Girona's good performance is not just because of the depth of their squad, but I feel that this team is great thanks to their coach who is very trustworthy and is able to make the players in the squad show their potential. maximum. So I will favorite Girona.

Last season's performance is a reference that they will win this match, really?

If so, what about the history of meetings between the two teams, the comparison is 10 (Real Betis wins), 2 (Draw) & 2 (Girona wins). I think this comparison makes more sense than just looking at last season's performance, especially since Girona have not shown their consistency from season to season, just like Marseille who slumped last season, but we never know how they will experience their new season.

Preseason friendly are like nice appetizers before a large meal - they look good but don't reveal the whole story.

Barcelona, for example. They were scattered against Monaco and Real Madrid. Coach Xavi is certainly testing his best lineup and strategies. Thats smart, but we shouldnt overinterpret the outcomes. Even in meaningless friendlies, Real Madrid looks sharp. Well-organized, confident, and hungry. They're the team to beat now.
Xavi is no longer in charge of Barcelona, ​​having been sacked as Barcelona coach and now Barcelona are coached by Flick who generally still needs to see every potential in his players before the official season starts. Although their own rivals like Real Madrid have started to show their sharpness and strength in yesterday's match against Atalanta, so the teams in La Liga also know that Real Madrid will still be their tough competition for the coming season.

Bilbao really deserves to be the favorite in today's match. And I also bet on Bilbao in that match. Although I think there is a chance of getting a draw. Because head to head battles between Bilbao vs Getafe usually result in draws. In the last 5 meetings alone we can see 4 of them were draws. Meanwhile, for the Betis vs Girona match, I think I will be on Girona's side. I still have high hopes for this club after last season they showed good results.

Xavi? Huh Do you know the new Barcelona coach? Now Hansi Flick is leading the club, it's strange if you still don't know even with your current position wearing the signature Stake but missing a lot of information.

I noticed the error too but I assume that it was just a minor mistake not that he's not really aware of the changes but already used to Xavi. His Forum Rank and wearing one of the most popular gambling platform signature is enough reason to make updated with what is happening in sports industry.

That being said, we watched Madrid yesterday and we know the squad they've prepared against this new season starting today. Barcelona can not be totally written off from tittle contenders but we are aware that their strength is not longer the same. Moreover, Barcelona is starting the new season with a new couch whom might have a different playing pattern that'll take players time to adapt to. We'll be able to tell who are in the competition this season when we are halfway of the league.

Barcelona or another team may surprise us and take the show. Its what makes this sport amazing. Real Madrid is much stronger. They have skill, experience, and momentum. Barcelona must improve to keep up.

My opinion is my own, however I've played this game for a while and know what Im talking about. genuine Madrid is the genuine deal and wont be stopped.

La Liga starts today based on my time, and we'll see from the top teams which clubs are guarding their dominance. At least half a season ago whether Barcelona, ​​Madrid or Atletico Madrid managed to lead. Because the schedule for next season is quite tight, there are more than 70 matches that will be played, it will certainly drain energy, not a few players are injured so if the club management is a little careless and does not pay attention to the health of its players, it will damage the stability that is owned.

Basically friendly games are not an indication, if we say "Barcelona lost to Monaco so they are not looking good", we could also say "Barcelona beat Real Madrid they are looking strong" which one makes sense to you, I personally do not think that we are going to make that much sense by just saying which one makes sense, it is not really that complicated to make that sense and we should not be looking at it like an important game, it's only just friendly games and we can't really make a deduction from it at all. We are going to face Barcelona doing decent enough but I still expect second place for them.

Real Madrid looks such a good team that we are going to end up with them winning the league without a doubt, it will not be really that easy to handle at all. We are going to see this changing so it should be something that could give a good result in the end. This should be very careful without a doubt but a second place is all they could get this year.

The result of the match was as we expected. Real Madrid won the match 2-0. And in the whole match Atalanta's players could not do much. Both teams played defensively in the first half. However, in the second half of the match, we saw only Madrid's dominance. We don't see strong attacks from Atalanta's players.

Madrid's defense is also strong this season. We haven't seen better performances from Madrid in friendly matches. However, Madrid's overall performance against Atalanta was very composed. Madrid's lineup has become more dynamic after Mbappe's addition to the squad. Moreover, there are talented players like Bellingham in the midfield. Bellingham is a worthy replacement for Luka Modric. Unless Mbappe and Bellingham get injured next season, Real Madrid will undoubtedly win the La Liga title very easily.

Atalanta were hoping to bank on many pitting their hopes on Real Madrid and deliver a shocker like they did at the Europa finals but I guess they were quickly put in their place.
 A really fine game and a display of masterclass football from both sides, even though Real Madrid were more offensive in their attack.

I enjoyed the Real Madrid game against Atalanta, this is the best Real Madrid squad we've been waiting for so long, but is this the Real Madrid team that Barcelona expects to compete with next season? Football is unpredictable, but if Barcelona wants to compete with Madrid, they must add more players rather than relying on their current poor players, Mbappe scored his first goal for the club on his debut, surprising those who expected him to fail because they thought Bellingham and Vinicius were not going to support him. Vinicuis Jr is an intelligent player, if he hadn't failed to win the Copa America, he would have won the Ballon d'Or because no attacking player has beaten him in European competitions during the last season.

However, Atalanta performed well in the first half, defending well enough to prevent Vinicius and Mbappe from breaking through to score. However, as the game went on, they were unable to stop Madrid attackers as successfully as they had in the first half. Atalanta did great, because I believe if another club were to face Madrid, they would have conceded more than two goals.

As for Girona, everything is much more complicated, first of all because they have sold several very important players for the team, I think this will have an impact on the team.
After a surprising successful season like the last season, a small team like Girona have to face with big challenge from their star players and big clubs. Star players will want to find new challenges, join bigger clubs and get better income while there are many big clubs in Europe are ready to bring star players in Girona to their clubs.

With attraction of big clubs, better income and greater chance to win titles and enjoy Champions League regularly, it's hard for star players to refuse. With big bid offers from other clubs, Girona will hardly be able to refuse these offers.

Quote
And also an important role is played by the fact that Michel is negative and has spoken about the team being poorly prepared for the new season, some players returned late from vacation and did not have time to get into shape, but I think the main reason for his dissatisfaction is that Girona decided to sell their leaders, and he understands that it will be difficult for the team without them
It's not good preparation for a new season which can become nightmare for Girona but after all, they can be proud of what they achieved last season. It can be their biggest achievements in their player career but surely they can be ambitious and chase bigger achievements. In a new season, they will experience Champions League, a first ever and it'll create pressure on both coach and players during a season.

New season is finally starting today! We have two games:

  • Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe
  • Betis vs Girona

As for making predictions, it's really difficult. Because the season is just starting and we don't have any idea how teams will perform. Depending on squad changes, I see Athletic Bilbao is still maintaining the quality. I expect them to start with a victory.  Smiley

Betis vs Girona is even harder to predict. But Girona lost very important members of their squad this summer. Dovbyk, Aleix Garcia, Savinho, Yan Couto... Because of that they might not start with a good result. I think Betis will win.

I can imagine how excited it will be watching the first match of the season and is true that predicting the exact outcome of those match will be quite difficult because most clubs are not usually always good on there first matches of the league but however there is a chance that all the season may not actually be the same but however we should expect an interesting game between those clubs, though in the case of Betis vs Girona I have an opinion that Girona will be victorious on that match because if you check there players they are just the way they are on this previous season and non of there players sustain any serious injury, so I believe that they have much better plan on this season.
Since it will be the beginning of the league, these matches always carry risks. Similarly, the Betis match carries risks. We may see Girona as the favorite now, but Betis can win on their home field. Girona lost important players compared to last year, for example Dovbyk. The first match will be important for us to see together whether the new players adapt to the team.
