La Liga of the Spain winner prediction 2018/2019
Barcelona which could win three times in the La Liga since 2013 has now the title of the champion. Real has won tournament 16/17.
Barcelona with coefficient 1.73 is considered to be the main favorite of this season. Real takes the second place with coefficient 2.37. Atlético takes the 3rd place with coefficient 13.00.
Three more teams which were included into the list of possible winners have rather small chances of receiving a champion title and coefficients higher than 100: Valencia (101.00), Sevilla (126.00), Villarreal (251.00). Other participants of the championship have the coefficients from 501.00 to 2001.00.
We will present the main favorites in details.
Barcelona
Last tournament champions have lost only one game. And even despite the fact that the legendary midfielder Andrés Iniesta this season has left the team, chances for the victory of this team haven’t decreased. Iniesta has been replaced by Malcom but the Catalans don’t seem to be weaker.
Real Madrid
Real has taken the third place in the championship and has undergone big changes this season: Zinedine Zidane has left the post of the head coach and the team leader Cristiano Ronaldo has moved into another club.
We don’t know how will the game change and the strategy of Real remains a riddle both for fans and for bookmakers. But, despite this, the chances for a victory are high.
Perhaps, the new coach Julen Lopetegui who has resigned with scandal from the post of the head coach of Spanish national team will be able to bring team to the first place.
The Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and the perspective Brazilian midfielder Vinicius Junior became the main purchases of the club. However the new team leader wasn’t defined yet.
Atletico Madrid
This club from Madrid is also a favorite but his chances to win are considerably lower than the chances of Barcelona and Real. The full back from Monaco Thomas Lemar has joined the team and the coach has a lot of plans.
This transfer became the most expensive among the Spanish clubs this summer: the cost of the contract was €65 million. Kevin Gameiro who has gone to Valencia was replaced by the Croatian forward Nikola Kalinić.
Perhaps, these changes in the squad will give Atletico additional chances for gaining the champion’s title this season.
Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal will fight for the fourth place. Bookmakers give preference to Valencia as the team has considerably strengthened the squad thanks to transfer of the forwards Kevin Gameiro and Michy Batshuayi, the full back Mouctar Diakhaby, the midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia.
