It's prediction time!
La Liga kicks off again on Saturday, with hopes and dreams very much alive for all 20 clubs. So who will win the Primera Division? Who will qualify for the Champions League? Who will be relegated? Who will score the most? Who will be the best signing? Who will be the worst? Can Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid retain their crown? Will Tito Vilanova inspire Barcelona to new successes? Who will come out on top out of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo?
Currently, it's all up in the air; Spanish football in 2012-13 is an open book. But a new story will be written in the history of this great competition - starting on Saturday as La Liga gets under way again.
We all like a prediciton and so, with the new season just around the corner, Goal.com International polled our writers on who they think will be taking all the big prizes next year.
We asked them to name their predictions for the following:
1. The top six at the end of the 12-13 Liga season (in order - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th)
2. The three teams that will be relegated at the end of the 12-13 Liga season (in order - 18th, 19th, 20th)
3. Copa del Rey winners
4. Player of the Year
5. Young Player of the Year (Under-21)
6. Pichichi
7. Coach of the season
8. Best signing of the season
9. Worst signing of the season
