Topic: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 - page 781. (Read 530462 times)

Real Madrid is a strong team and a fearsome name for any opponent, so be it playing at Real Madrid's home ground or playing at another team's home ground, there is always Real Madrid favourite. There are a few teams in Europe that Real Madrid might have to struggle against, but apart from a certain number of teams, Real Madrid doesn't have to work that hard to win against them. Ahead is the final match of the Champions League where Real Madrid and Dortmund face each other. 

Although the match is the final match of the Champions League, the chances of Real Madrid winning this match are very high and this match is relatively easy match for Real Madrid.

In terms of player composition, Barcelona is indeed superior to Real Sociedad, but Barcelona's self-confidence is currently declining, especially after losing badly to Girona in the last match. The last meeting between the two teams was also not good, of course this match will be tough and intense.

So I doubt Barcelona's performance in this match can win. The reason is that Real Sociedad, of course, in this match also really needs more points than Barcelona, because Real Sociedad is trying to secure a place in the Europa League. Barcelona as the host will of course also be determined to recover from defeat at Girona. Therefore, I predict this match will end with a score of 2-2.

Based on the composition of the players in the main line-up, I believe Barcelona can be expected to win their home match today. Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and Raphinha can put pressure on the opponent's defense well, while I have a little doubt about the quality of the two central defenders where Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez don't seem like a strong tandem. I tend to think Araujo would be better paired with Cubarsi at centre-back, but Xavi certainly has his reasons for playing Inigo Martinez.

Pedri, Christensen and Ilkay Gundogan can provide comfort in midfield with Christensen playing a little defensively. Ilkay and Pedri can provide sufficient ball supply to Yamal and Raphinha, so it is hoped that this collaboration can help Barcelona achieve victory. The chances of Barcelona winning are very high, but I can't say they don't concede from Real Sociedad.

Granada is getting relegated again. They just got the promotion this season. I thought they would be able to survive the relegation zone this season because they were showing good signs when they got promoted. But of course, I guess there is a big difference between both of these competitions. And La Liga is definitely a lot harder. Right now there is no chance for them to avoid relegation.

I guess the positive thing for them is that they were able to take points even against some very big opponents, opponents like Barcelona and others. I also think that they were even able to win some matches that they probably shouldn’t have. But of course, getting a single point once in a blue moon against one or two big opponents and winning one or two matches here and there is not going to be enough for them to avoid relegation. At least not in La Liga. I hope they will be able to perform better and I also hope to see them in the La Liga competition soon. But they have to improve their defense a lot.

Yeah I agree with you that Barcelona will definitely take over 2nd place Barcelona would be embarrassed if they gave 2nd place to Girona because previously Girona was not an elite team in La Liga, we know Real Sociedad is not a team to be underestimated but Barcelona has 2 advantages to win it. First Barcelona wants to finish in 2nd place this season then Barcelona plays at home today so these 2 reasons should be enough to motivate Barcelona to get 3 points.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad may be targeting the Conference League zone but if they lose this match it's not a big problem because there are still 3 other matches meaning there is still time in other matches. By the way, Atletico Madrid managed to secure tickets to the Champions League next season after winning 3 consecutive matches, Atletico Madrid only needs 2 more points to lock it and I think it's not a problem, especially 2 of their 3 matches in the upcoming match are weak teams.

I don't think Barcelona really care about coming second in the La Liga. The moment they realised that they have missed their chances of winning the league, they already gave up. At some point,  the champions league was all the had but PSG was too much for them so they lost out. If you noticed from the time they crashed out of the champions league till date, they have relied on scoring many goals and tonight's focus for Barcelona will be mainly to score as many goals as possible. Real Sociedad does not have the strength to win Barcelona now so they might just be playing to target draw but what I feel is that they will at least get a goal and wait for how many Barcelona will score them.

Today, against Real Sociedad, Barcelona will easily win at their home ground and occupy the second position in the points table. Currently, the rivalry between Girona and Barcelona is going on in the La Liga points table for the second position and the third position. Although we expect Barcelona to win today's match and if they play well they will qualify and occupy the second position in the points table. Since Real Madrid is the champion this season, currently Barcelona and Girona are more excited just to stay in good position in the points table. However, in today's match against Real Sociedad, Barcelona will definitely have a strong attack, and they may easily win without creating any pressure. And if Barcelona wins today's match, they will occupy the second position in the points table, where Girona is currently.

What a funny thing is for me to see Cadiz still fighting until the last breath in this league, they do this in every single league since they comeback to LaLiga.

About european spots we have an interesting game in a few hours between Real Sociedad and Barcelona, a must see game for bettors.

Last season, Almeria was also in 17th position and with a very critical number of points. It's just that the club was lucky enough last season because it was only 1 point different from Valladolid. So it is not surprising that this season, their performance did not improve much and they finally entered the relegation zone. Likewise with Cadiz, which was only ranked 14th last season, but it was still better than this season. Granada is also new in La Liga and it seems that they are not yet ready for this league.

Indeed, at the start of the season, many people doubted Real Madrid. Apart from several key players who were injured, many parties claim that this season, Real Madrid failed to get the world's top players to replace Benzema. So they are not sure about Real Madrid's next performance. Meanwhile, what they have is Bellingham, a young player whose position is also not a striker. then there is Vini JR and others who last season weren't as brilliant either. That's what various people thought at the start of the season. In fact, it is very doubtful if they can reach the UCL final. However, as time went by, Ancelotti was truly able to dismiss all these assumptions. He is Real Madrid's maestro under any circumstances. That's how cool he was as a football manager who made a doubtful Real Madrid into a very convincing Real Madrid. He has even won the La Liga trophy and entered the Champions League final this season. This is the great teamwork between Ancelotti, all the squad players, and also Real Madrid management.

There have been players that flopped at real Madrid. There have also been coaches that flopped at Real Madrid. I can go on and list them. Players and coaches can go to Madrid and fail. There was a time between 2001-2013 where Real Madrid didn't win a single UCL, That's a 12 year wait, so for a manager to come and win it for them more than once is incredible.
Same with the league. Madrid won just 2 la Liga in 9 years at a certain point. Now the have 2 in 3. As big as Real Madrid is, they took need a good manager to succeed

.

I think now you're overrating it.
Madrid have had much better players than they do now, including with Mbappe, but they couldn't turn la liga to a farmers league.
They've had Ronaldo, Casilas, Ramos, Marcelo, Ozil, Di Maria, Bale, Benzema, Xabi Alonso, Higuain all at their peak but couldn't turn la liga to a farmers league. In this century, Madrid has won the la liga back to back only ones in 2007 and 2008. Madrid are not turning La Liga into a Farmers League anytime soon.

These pictures brings back memories and winnings for Real Madrid. It is a successful club and we've come to the conclusion that they're the best in Europe and when it comes to the winning the top ranking trophies, they also comes first on the table. This season is another magnificent one for Los Blancos, about to secure their treble this season, already bagged two titles and we know it'd been a good run for Real Madrid and their headcoach, Carlo Ancelotti, he doesn't seem to be worry because he have secured the top titles and will do everything to win.

This match is going to start after almost 2 hours from now. this is going to be a very interesting match. Barcelona will have to win if they want to get to the second position. Which was definitely a big target for the coach of Barcelona.

at the same time, Real Sociedad also have to win the match if they want to get to the sixth position of the table. Because if they can finish in the sixth position of the table they will be able to take part in the Europa Conference League qualifiers. Even a draw from this match can actually help Real Sociedad to actually get to the sixth position because they will have the same points as Real Betis but they will be ahead in terms of goal difference. But Barcelona cannot afford to get only one point from this match. Barcelona will definitely have to get all three points from this match if they want to get to the second position. So I am expecting to see a real attacking approach from Barcelona in this match. At the same time, we all know that Barcelona has also been making a lot of mistakes in the defense as well. So I think this match could go either way.

Appreciation to the club for providing players according to the coach's request, thereby creating a Real Madrid squad that is feared by opponents. For the remainder of the season, I am sure Ancelotti will rotate players again. This is done so that the main squad can be rested to focus on the Champions League final and can add experience and playing minutes for the reserve squad. Maybe Luca Modric is still trusted as a starter and as team captain.

Carlo Ancelotti has proven himself to be one of the best managers in the world, shattering the notion that he lacks tactical prowess. He is a master at unlocking the potential of each player under his control, as evidenced by his frequent experimentation this season, deploying Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, and even Rodrygo in unfamiliar positions.

Sure enough, even though Ancelotti lost Benzema at the start of the season, it didn't worry him, without the number 9 striker, Ancelotti managed to lead Madrid to win the La Liga trophy and advance to the Champions League final. This shows that Ancelotti does not depend on just one or two players, because he realizes that the task of scoring goals can be done by all his players. The approach used by Ancelotti towards the players is the key to his success in managing a club.

Now there is only one step left for Ancelotti to bring Madrid to win the Champions League trophy for the 15th time in the club history. If successful, it will clearly be a legacy that will never be forgotten. For Ancelotti himself, the Champions League trophy is also very meaningful, which will lead him to become the coach who has won the most Champions League trophies of all time, with five trophies, three won with Madrid, the other two with Milan.

It really saddens me about how bilbao was missing a chance to play in the UCL. I was thinking that if bilbao will able to defend its place but it was wrong about that. Atletico madrid was slowly but surely is always able in getting very good results. The club is now havnig very big chance to qualify for the UCL next season. Have 4 clubs that will be qualified to the UCL.
It sounds good to have girona in the top 4. this is a new history for girona. I never expect this to perform perfectly like this as a midtable club last season who can take a part in the UCL next season. It's always so amazing to see how girona's coach has been always working so hard in order to make his club perform even better.

It's impossible for atletico madrid to be surpassed by bilbao, it has 8 points more. It's obvious bilbao must be feeling satisfied to get the 4th place. Congratulation for girona by qualifiong to the UCL.
This club is performing even better after it was a part of city football group. Girona has talented coach who can give positive progress to the club.

Many people have doubts about Madrid's achievements this season, with many players injured, including some of the main players. This doubt is because we have not seen the ability and performance of reserve players who are almost as good as Madrid's core players, some of whom are even making their debut this season. This is why Carlo Ancelotti doesn't worry if one of his players is absent due to injury or is subject to sanctions.

The recreation of the above picture by Carlo Ancelotti and his Real Madrid players during their title parade on Sunday further shows the kind of great relationship that exists between the Italian manager and his Real Madrid players. It's such a beautiful feeling for Real Madrid players whenever they're hanging around their manager who's more of a friend to them than a boss. Carlo Ancelotti is effortlessly loved by the players of Real Madrid and that's why they're always giving their best whenever they're called upon to represent the club.
Real Madrid's biggest game if the season will be coming up on 1st of June as they travel to Wembley stadium in London to play in the UEFA Champions League final against German club Borussia Dortmund and I expect the Spanish champions to win that particular game which will make them extend their lead number of UEFA Champions League triumphs to a record 15 times. Real Madrid isn't just a club but a big family where everyone is treated with utmost love and that's why the club is always excelling.

"cannot do without some key players"

I think every team has key players that when they are missing, the team's quality goes down at least a few percentage points. Every team has them. You say that Manchester City cannot do without some key players, but I think that Manchester City is a superb team with an impressive average player quality and to be honest here, everyone who saw the Champions League game knows that when they play these two legs a hundred times, Manchester City is going to win it 75% of the time. Real Madrid was not the stronger team. They were clever like always and De Bruyne missed a chance he usually doesn't miss and that would have killed Real Madrid shortly before the end of the game. Some details decided that Real Madrid should go through. Details that usually Manchester City takes care of. I think describes it in a fair way.

But this has nothing to do with the fact that Ancelotti is a real master.

Ancelotti had a similar pose again to the one he had after the La Liga title in the 2021/2022 season.    He is respected really much in the team and by the fans as well. In his time as well Real Madrid have been quite successful. If they win in the Champions League finale once again it is going to be the second one in his time period.

I know he is managing one of top teams in Europe already. But not everyone would be that successful anyway. For example in the Champions League there have been quite intense tactical wars. It hasn't been easy for Ancelotti to bring the team into this phase. 

Anceloti is Anceloti and he has a good record and it's the reason why he has remain to settle with number Spain club in the world but I want you to know that Real Madrid is Real Madrid and any player that is opportune to play in that club, they do it with all their might and power, they do it as if their life's depend on it, they do it for the club and that's why when you check the track of the players once they are signed to club, they go wild. Example of Bellingham, people says he is mid and it's just PR but he was making goals equivalent to his appearance in matches.


It will not make any difference to me but they will be feared even more because so far, a lose of a just single match and then you add another one of the most sort out wings in France, they will not only make Spain a sleepless place for other people, they will make Laliga becomes the farmers league they always fear and people that hate Real Madrid will hate forever.
