GOAL SCORING PREDICTIONS
Alaves’ end of season form sealed a top 10 spot at finale of 2023-24 and will look to carry that momentum into the new season, with coach Luis Garcia a solid operator
for the Basque side. The brilliantly named Stoichkov is one of a number of summer arrivals, with particularly high hopes for right-back Hugo Novoa from RB Leipzig and former Mallorca forward Luka Romero, who arrived on loan from Milan. They will be confident of avoiding any real relegation danger, and perhaps even making further progress towards the top eight, with this being the club’s best period for nearly a quarter of a century.
Luka Romero
WITH KYLIAN MBAPPE JOINING THEIR RANKS, IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT TAKE SOMETHING SPECIAL TO PREVENT REAL MADRID DEFENDING THE LA LIGA TITLE THIS TERM. FEARGAL BRENNAN LOOKS AT HOW ALL 20 TEAMS IN THE SPANISH TOP-FLIGHT ARE SHAPING UP FOR 2024-25.
