La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hahay]

The most attracting game on this match week is of course Atletico Madrid v Barcelona. Atletico Madrid are a really tough team to beat away for Barcelona. And they have an even weaker lineup now as they have lost Messi and Griezmann both. Atletico Madrid are better this season and Barcelona are more inconsistent than them. Barcelona are being beaten by Benfica by a big score. They will be in a bad condition before playing this match. Atletico defeated Milan 2-1 away and they have boosted their morale. I think that Atletico will be the winner here.

Barcelona haven't been the same even since Messi departed from the club. They have been unstable, and have difficulties in winning matches. They got beaten in their first Champion League match which was against Bayern Munich, Barcelona couldn't score in their home. Benfica also gave them clean sheet. I don't think they will be able to beat Atletico, as Atletico Madrid performance this season have been a little bit impressive. It will be a tough match for Barcelona.

Too much dependence on Messi in recent years has played a role. Also, the lack of a good coach also greatly affects the team. Barcelona is currently eating a good team. But there is no coach and leader who could lead the team. Barcelona needs a captain like Puyol.

Believe it or not, although Barcelona looks not in good form at the moment but Barcelona in La Liga are unbeaten so far. But yes, with the growing pressure on the Barcelona squad, it looks like Atletico will be able to beat Barcelona and of course it will be the first defeat for Barcelona this season in La Liga. I personally believe that Suarez and Griezmann will probably score goals in this match, if that happens Barcelona will be even more devastated but after all they are a big team which of course they will try harder to win the match.

Barcelona defeat to benfica, really shows that barcelona is no longer a team to be afraid of in europe, in the last few matches, barcelona looks to be playing quite badly and it seems the effect of losing messi has really destroyed barcelona, ​​I agree with what you said, if now barcelona need a leader in the team who can really lift the morale of the players.

A very huge match is getting close which is between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid have been showing a greater performance than Barcelona. They are already a little better in the league and they won their last Champions League match against Milan also. Barcelona beat Levante by 3-0 but they were defeated by Benfica by the same score in the Champions League. And Atletico Madrid are playing really strong against them in their home matches. Hence, my favourite side in this match is Atletico.

Agree. It seems to me that this match is easy money for betting. Due to the combination of factors, I do not see even a chance for Barcelona to play a draw. If this happens, it will only be due to some internal failures of Atletico. Bookmakers also believe that Atlético will be the clear favorite in this match:
1,99 - 3,55 - 3,90

I think Atletico will win against Barcelona. We all know how good Simeone is with his defense. Though Atletico has conceded 6 goals so far if I'm not wrong, but we all know how good their defense is. Not if we consider about Barcelona's attack this season without Messi, that has been a mess. They are barely able to score this season compared to the past 6 or 7 seasons. The lack of Messi, his chance creation, and scoring is very visible on the field. And ATL also has a good attack with  Suarez, Griezmann, and Felix. So, I'm opting for Atletico this math.

Any body know what the future from Ronald Koeman on Barcelona, have an issues his future on Barcelona will decision few hours later and many issues Koeman will fired from his position after failed give good result for Barcelona exactly loss bigger score last night on UEFA champion league, I think Barcelona team most confused how ever on this weekend will faced with Atletico Madrid and now they get an issues about Koeman, I think not wrong who ever coach but depend why financial crisis faced by Barcelona right now and make their performance bad.

Atletico Madrid - Barcelona game is the one that is drawing my attention a lot now. This is one of the biggest and most important games of this league. Atletico Madrid are making a bigger effort than Barcelona recently. And the biggest reason would be that Barcelona have a brand new lineup and the players are getting accustomed to playing with each other still. Sometimes, they play superbly but sometimes they don't. As they are very inconsistent, Atletico would benefit from their current condition and win this game by 1 goal at least.

Indeed, currently Barcelona are faced with Atletico who are ranked unbeaten for the last 3 matches against Barcelona. So it looks tough for Barcelona on October 3 this time and have to prepare a pretty deadly attack. Moreover, the main center is now gone and the striker vacancy must be given to those who can balance Atletico if Griezmann is included in the first half. Of course all of this cannot be separated from possession of the ball for Atletico who are ahead of Barcelona.
Ahead of the game Simeone's squad is injury-free and ready to play optimally.

In that match, Atletico madrid was greatly benefited, apart from acting as the host, Atlético  madrid current performance is in good condition, moreover they have great confidence after successfully defeating AC Milan, in addition, the issue of Koeman dismissal will certainly cause divisions in the squad barcelona, ​​and the issue circulated after barcelona lost to benfica, I think in that match the barcelona game will not be balanced, thus providing a great opportunity for Atletico Madrid to win the match.

Barcelona now is in very bad form and Koeman is facing with pressure. Atletico Madrid don't have good form but at least they have better form than Barcelona. They have another advantage: their club is not conflicted internally like Barcelona, from players to director boards.

The union in Atletico is better and it is their strength. Their players believe in Diego (their coach) and unite with each other to fight for good results. Things are happening in Barcelona are very bad and a few bad matches can reveal their internal problems.

Will Griezman be called for this match? Is there any restriction in the loan contract that Griezman can not play against Barcelona?

Defense has been a problem for Barcelona for the past few years. But that was not much noticeable because they were scoring, or should I say Messi was making them score. But now that Messi is gone, their Attack together with their defense is struggling pretty hard. They have bought Luke de Jong but he is hardly visible on the pitch, he has not been able to make an impact so far.

Yes, I noticed that there is a certain stereotype (and it is justified) that Atletico play on defense and this is their main feature in which they are good. But the Ginzman + Suarez bunch is actually the top one among the clubs! Who can field an equal pair of forwards now? Now they do not show anything special, but sooner or later they have to prove themselves.

I hope not, but I also quite doubt Barcelona will win. Defeats have become more frequent for them lately and now there is a lot of pressure on this club from the fans. Koeman is expected to step down from his status as Barcelona coach because his strategy is not effective enough to make Barcelona a challenger for the title. In the champions league they have lost 2 times and have the potential to fail to qualify for the next round if they lose for the third time in the upcoming match. In my opinion, there is too little hope to see them win any titles this season and this is something not all of their fans expect.

It's always nice to see big but currently struggling teams to square off. I expect both teams to bring their A game for bragging rights hehe. I will skip betting on the winner of this match since it's too unpredictable for me but I may put money on BTTS or over 2.5. This could be an intense match.

And I saw when Messi faced Manchester City players last time he was pretty good and could get a really fantastic pass from Mbappe. Is Barcelona watching? maybe they will find it difficult to let go of Messi. But in the game of football, everyone must be truly professional and no longer slumped. Either when Barcelona later against Atletico will be able to show a good performance or it will get worse.

Now after losing against Benifica we are going to have some serious changes in Barcelona camp because this is very poor from their standard and Barcelona president is already not happy with current coach Koeman his poor strategies are not helping this team and their moral is also going down day by day with these type results.

If they want to do some better than surely they have no time just done before this Atlético Madrid match because if they lost this also it's surely terrible for them after Messi and Greizmann they already have no strong attack and financial situation is also very bad as they can't afford some big player.

If Barcelona pass from the preliminary round to the next I hope this can meet with PSG what Barcelona's reaction to this will certainly be considering it is very hard where Messi as a key player in Barcelona must be willing to wear another uniform and this can hurt his fans who are already attached, but indeed in Football must be professional in every game.

Considering this week's opponent is Atletico Madrid, which in my opinion is quite tough but I won't conclude that they lost, but from the previous performance Barcelona have appeared less dominant, so it's still lacking they can easily beat Atletico.

Unhappy Barcelona, of course, is not the favorite of this meeting, but still let's not forget that Atletico Madrid equalized with Milan only in the 84th minute of the match, and Suarez scored a penalty only in the seventh added minute. In addition to the Griezmann factor, you should also not forget about the Suarez factor, with whom Barcelona also parted in a not the most delicate way and who probably still has personal scores with his former club. There is information that Barcelona may leave Koeman at least until the end of the match with Atletico Madrid, although of course a major loss to Benfica brought the fact of the Dutch specialist's resignation very much closer.

Suarez has been making a great effort really for a long time. He literally saved his team by scoring the penalty in the last minute. He is a much more valuable player than Griezmann for Atletico Madrid now. Griezmann is on loan too and it is not clear whether Atletico would think of paying around €80m to sign him. But I don't think so. It would be a waste of money for them as he is not young anymore.

A very huge match is getting close which is between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid have been showing a greater performance than Barcelona. They are already a little better in the league and they won their last Champions League match against Milan also. Barcelona beat Levante by 3-0 but they were defeated by Benfica by the same score in the Champions League. And Atletico Madrid are playing really strong against them in their home matches. Hence, my favourite side in this match is Atletico.

Agree. It seems to me that this match is easy money for betting. Due to the combination of factors, I do not see even a chance for Barcelona to play a draw. If this happens, it will only be due to some internal failures of Atletico. Bookmakers also believe that Atlético will be the clear favorite in this match:
1,99 - 3,55 - 3,90

I can't believe that we are living in a world where ATM is getting 1.99 odds against Barcelona while Barca is getting 3.90 odds in return. Normally that would be exactly the other way around and yes there were periods Barcelona played amazing football but even on their "bad" years it was obvious that Barcelona would still be the favorites. Now ATM is clear favorites in this game.

I still think that people are overreacting and there is a chance that Barcelona could still win this game, not like it would be impossible for them to get a win out of this, but I believe that we should be careful as well because Barcelona may really end up losing as expected too.

[kawetsriyanto]

Defense has been a problem for Barcelona for the past few years.

They have a problem in Defense line after Puyol retired many years ago. But now, they have problems in all lines, defense-midfield-attacking. In my opinion, Barcelona has bad planning in player regeneration. After Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, and Messi are no longer in the squad, Barcelona management cannot find proper players to replace their roles. They have a serious problem in player regeneration.

They have bought Luke de Jong but he is hardly visible on the pitch, he has not been able to make an impact so far.

Luke de Jong didn't contribute well to the team. He seems to have difficulties adapting with Barcelona players and its game style. Personally, I don't know why Barcelona sign him, I don't see something special with this player.
