Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

While I was not expecting to see Barcelona lose this match they lost and even after Yamal got injured he wanted to stay in the team.
Now it seems he is going to be absent in the important match they are going to have with Atletico Mardid, and this can make everything harder for Flick and his players because Atletico Madrid is going to be a much harder competitor for Barcelona than Leganés.

This will be a big disaster for Barcelona, considering that Lamine Yamal is still the backbone of the attack in the front line. Against Atletico Madrid will not be easy, especially since Atletico Madrid has never lost in the last 6 matches in La Liga. This will further motivate Diego Simeone troops to continue to extend their consistency + tickets to the top of the standings.

Barcelona is currently unpredictable and inconsistent. It will be very risky to bet on Barcelona, because they don't have that strength that they started this season with. Atletico Madrid is consistent and very strong which gives them a good hedge over Barcelona. If Barcelona lose this match, it means that they might drop to the thrid position on the table.

Their next match is something I would've been worried about if I were a Barca fan and that's cause they'll be playing against Atletico Madrid that's in 2nd position and very inform currently, Atletico Madrid's defense looks solid and they've got good attackers too so Barcelona needs to be very careful when they're playing the high press and try to score before Atletico Madrid cause it would be tough to get a comeback if Atletico finds the next before them. Hansi Flick needs to take the match vert seriously else they'll end up moving from top to third cause Real Madrid are just one point below them and also have an outstanding match which gives them a hedge above both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and I believe that once Madrid manage to lead the table it would motivate them to remain consistent and get a consecutive win therefore Barcelona needs to do everything possible to maintain their lead, I know it's not going to be easy but nothing is impossible if they work hard enough as a team.
