La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Wawa2013]

Real Madrid 1 - 2 Espanyol




it was humiliating how we conceded both goals, i was particularly irritated the two times karin benzema scored a goal but it was invalidated. it looks like we are going deeper into the hole, we are losing against very weak teams. first we lost against the team that has the weirdest name (sheriff) and today we lost against espanyol. what else is left to happen? 

After a big win against Mallorca in the sixth week, Real Madrid's form is getting worse. Starting from the draw against Villarreal, but I still accept
the result, because Villarreal is not a weak team. Then the next loss against the Sheriff in the Champions League was very disappointing,
I don't accept this bad result. How can Real Madrid play at home and have so much better quality players defeated by Sheriff, which should be
the weakest team in group D Champions League. Now facing Espanyol must suffer defeat too, like you said Espanyol is not a strong team,
Real Madrid shouldn't have lost. With this defeat, Atletico and Real Sociedad now have the same points as Real Madrid. There is no other choice
the next match Real Madrid must win if they want to win the La Liga trophy this season.

Final score 2-1 for  Espanyol day by day La Liga is getting boring I don't see any attraction in this league anymore many matches end unexpectedly
I no longer watch this league and don't bet just watch from livescore if i bet i will definitely get a lot of losses  
Getafe 1 vs 1 Sociedad , Granada 1 vs 0 Sevilla HT , there are top 3 teams playing today and all of them failed to get 3 points? lol

Isn't it what should make the league more entertaining, rather than the same old scorelines where the top 3 keep thrashing the bottom sides from week to week?

I totally agree with you, it's the opposite of what he said, this will make it even more exciting, I think boring is a goales league or one team dominating just like Bayern Munich and PSG, even them took a loss today, Benfica too, today was weird a lot of big teams lost, it is really close between a lot of teams in LA Liga this season, matches between would be entertaining to watch.

For years, the Premier League has been labeled as entertaining because of its unpredictability sometimes and any true fan or neutral fan should find that entertaining and not boring unless if of course it's making lose bets.

+1
it might be a huge impact to lose 2 GOATS in a short time span and those rivalry between cristiano & messi has at least 30% additional entertainment. la liga has now losses that 30% entertainment...  no wonder a lot of people saying something like that.

and the barcelona nightmare after messi legacy seems continue, so do with real madrid post-cristiano legacy...
its like mission impossible to replace those guys.
some people says mbappe vs haaland is the next gen. well im not sure

[snipie]

currently Real Madrid, ATM and Sociedad have the same points and are competing for the top of the standings

Sociedad missed a golden opportunity to take the lead and take the first place... Mind you Getafe is showing the poorest performance in La Liga after 8 rounds, that's disappointing especially when you find also that Sevilla refuse to get the lead and lose vs Granada which isn't in its top performance as the last season.
Overall, disappointing results and La Liga is becoming like Ligue 1 without PSG or Bundesliga without Bayern (BTW both of them lost their games this weekend )

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.

Here you are absolutely right, I think that the only thing that Barcelona had well balanced was its players who all got on well and could understand each other, since they took Messi out, the 7 plagues fell on them, they do not see oxygenation, for me any team can beat him Barcelona, which is very different from Real Madird, who still have players who mesh very well in the team and who obtain very good results, despite the fact that many went to Barcelona, I think that the majority have gone to support PSG, because most of them were going for Messi and partly for Barcelona.

Real Madrid is having a very bad time. They lost to Sheriff Tiraspol in the previous match, and today they conceded a goal against a weaker team Espanyol. So far, Real Madrid is trailing 1-0. If the team at the top of the points table loses to the team at number 15 in the points table, it will be very embarrassing.

Real Madrid only dominated the statistics of the match but did not take full advantage of the opportunities that existed
When Tomas' goal was scored in the 17th minute I wasn't sure about the confidence of the Madrid players

Real Madrid's performance falls below their standard. They did win in ball possession but they actually can not control the match well and looks confused when they are attacked by Espanyol.

Looks like Real Madrid really needs a new defender and defensive midfielder because when their attackers can't do anything, then this line of defense would be the hope to seek at least 1 point. But if they also don't play as expected, then this line of defense will become a weakness.

I wouldn't worry too much at all. Benzema is still on great scoring form (yes, those didn't and couldn't count last night but it was a reminder of how potent he is still up front so nothing to worry about). And they created incredible chances against Sheriff too if you recall. These are teams who thought they would win a point and that's all okay. They got lucky with their wins.

Of course, I'm happy to see Real suffer since Barca's suffering a lot... but we're both suffering to the benefit of Atletico.

The main thing is that the Real Madrid players were not ready for Espanyol's attack. They thought the Espanyol team was weak. Espanyol's superb attack left Real Madrid players confused and conceded two goals. However, through this match we all realized again that the gap between Varane and Ramos at Real Madrid has not yet been filled. Their defense is still weak.

Sevilla had a really unfortunate loss last night against Granada by 1-0 away. Actually Sevilla were the team that played really effectively here. They took the full control of the game in the second half also and tried everything they could. But they were not good enough to find the target many times (3 out of 14 shots). They missed the chance of equalizing the points with the top 3 teams. But they are still a good team and they can make up for this loss against Celta Vigo on the next match week.

Sevilla still has a chance to move to the top of the points table. Sevilla has played one match less than Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad. If they win the next match, Sevilla will be able to go to the top of the points table. Sevilla did well against Granada, but could not win after a lot of attacks. Granada's defenders played well.

That's what I mean. Real Madrid seemed to take the game lightly and they didn't play aggressively, even in their last 3 matches, Real Madrid couldn't win though. This condition may have infuriated Carlo Ancelotti because Real Madrid should have won all three of those games.

This could be a disaster if Carlo Ancelotti does not immediately fix the problem, because if they keep playing with this kind of performance, then Real Madrid can be kicked out of the title race (and it's likely that the board will also take issue with his leadership). Real Madrid is currently lucky to be able to stay in 1st place because both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are not at their best either.

First Sheriff Tiraspol, then Espanyol. Real Madrid lost 2 important matches 2-1 in a row. They needs to recover soon. While he was doing very well this year, they llost in 2 critical matches. Atletico, on the other hand, beat Barça 2-0 with a superior game. Former Barcelona player Luis Suarez has scored again. He almost regrets those who sent him from the team. Considering that Sevilla was defeated this week, the most profitable team was Atletico Madrid.

Now it looks like real madrid has become a weak club and can't take advantage of the momentum well, even though from the start of the game Espanyol didn't have much possession of the ball and they only recorded a percentage of possession of the ball by 34 percent compared to Madrid, which was dominant with 66 percent, but the ball possession was not able to gave madrid a chance to score, even though madrid had the ball but espanyol were able to create many chances and made madrid defense difficult, I saw in that match madrid front line played quite well but in contrast to their weak defense, I think ancelotti must improve their defense this season.

Surely there is some dramatically changes happening because yesterday we had all top ranked teams losing their matches against very low ranking teams which is astounding because First Real Madrid lose his match against Espanyol and then Real Sociedad who need to win for going on top play draw against 20th ranked Getafe and just few minutes ago we have another shocking result as Sevilla lost first match of this season against Granada, and it's their first win of this season.

Now League table is very clear with 3 teams staying at top with 17 points and 2 are on second with 14 after 8 round matches now we have break for International matches we will be back in action after 14 days.

Despite two critical losses in a row, Real Madrid stays on top of the LaLiga standings. However, Real Madrid have suffered their first defeat against Espanyol. It is the same margin now for two straight losses! Interesting, huh? It's what happens when you underestimate a football team this time around, better luck the next time.

The defeat of Real Madrid was unexpected for me, however, as well as the defeat from the Sheriff. I noticed that after the Champions League matches, several top clubs suffered sensational defeats, these are PSG and Bayern. Too many sensations for one weekend. It may be difficult to play in two tournaments, the players get tired and this leads to such defeats. But Real Madrid still managed to keep the first place in the standings, thanks to the best goal difference. Atletico has come close, the fight for the championship will not be easy.

Real Madrid have very good early matches but now they got mini trouble and they have to fix it asap. The defeat against Sheriff is big shock that affects them in La Liga too. In La Liga they don't have big difference with other clubs and a few bad matches can put Real Madrid fall behind other clubs. Atletico Madrid are playing good enough to take over the first position of Real Madrid.

Barcelona can not be able to take over Real Madrid but Atletico Madrid can do it.

With experience from Ancelotti, I think he will help Real Madrid will complete this mini trouble with good results.

That is true but it shouldn't be an excuse. Real Madrid and the top teams in other leagues are not new to the grinding in different competitions every season. That is the reason why they buy sepnd so much on top caliber players so they could compete in all fronts.

Real Madrid have wake up if want keep safety staying on the top position because left one point only from Atletico Madrid, I think need new formation how Madrid could make different performance after twice loss form champion league and La Liga. How ever next week will make busy for Madrid keep play on champion league and have el clasico with Barcelona become most hard match.

A big club like Real madrid should have extra quality.and reserve team thus rotation of players in situations where there are too much competitions or matches Man Utd rested some key players in their last match against Everton though drew the match, Man City equally has good reserve team that match any club, it is very necessary to rest players to avoid tiredness and fatigue this will invigorate them and bring freshness in their subsequent matches, it's pity Real Madrid are losing matches against minnows at this period of the beginning of the league.
