La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[minairia3]

Barcelona are going to play a home game against Valencia next week. As Barcelona have been in a really bad condition, I wonder what they will be able to do against Valencia in this very competitive game. Valencia had a good start and they are right above Barcelona in the table now. Maybe Valencia are going to play away but they will still have a big chance here because of Barcelona's poor performance. I think that both teams will score and Valencia won't lose this game.

As Barcelona is now, any opponent is strong for them. Moreover, Valencia has been able to perform better than Barcelona this season. However, we may see Aguero on the field against Valencia. But, I have not seen any news related to this yet. If Aguero performs in this match, I think Barcelona will win the match and Aguero will be able to score in his debut match.

Barcelona have always had a weak defense, but they had a very strong midfield, and the style of play was ball control, so the weakness of the team wasn’t showing that way. There are a lot of promising young players in the team, but they need time and a good coach to play with each other and show a good game.

Barcelona have to work on their defense, to avoid conceding many goals. They have conceded 7 goals in 7 matches, and 6 in the champion League. I agree with you, Barcelona have young and talented players, but lack a well good and experience Coach that can lead them into winning matches. They lost to Atletico Madrid in their last match, and also have 0 point in the Champion League. They have to be prepared for their next match, Valencia is not a weak club that Barcelona can win easily.

An experienced coach will not change everything at once; it will take him time to get the team up and running. But the problem is that there is no such coach now. All the best are busy and are unlikely to dare to move to Barcelona at this stage. Only Conte is free, but he requires a lot of money for transfers and has a very bad temper. In any case, you need to wait for next summer and the solution of Barcelona's financial problems.

Sevilla always play for European leagues spots and won EL many times. They are good and can do way better but they aren't and keeps missing easy opportunities like a defeat against Grenada which is struggling this season, a draw against Elche shouldn't happen imo... They are also rumours about letting their top scorer En-Nesyri go to Arsenal in exchange for Lacazette. This will make them weaker imo after the next transfer window.

Sevilla is certainly not bad, but in my opinion their maximum is top 4, but I will hope that they will not be able to get into the Champions League and will fight to increase their record for winning the Europa League  Although, if I'm not mistaken, the time they won the Europa League 3 times in a row in one of the draws, they got there taking 3rd place in the group stage of the Champions League.

^ Valencia and Barcelona have the same amount of points but Valencia has played 1 match more than Barcelona. So we can somewhat call it an equal strength considering the state Barcelona is currently in right now. Valencia's form hasn't been that good in the last 5 matches, they only won 1, and drew 2 and lost the last 2 matches. On the other hand, Barca has won 2 of their previous 5 matches. As Aguero will be available for this match, I just hope that Barca can give a hard time to Valencia and win the game.

if Sevilla's match against Celta Vigo next week is won by Sevilla, of course, it will make it shift Real Sociedad's position with the same points.
there is a chance Sevilla will be in position 3 standings. but the season still leaves a lot of games. of course, the team in the middle board could be a surprise.
what surprises me the most is the current position of Barca which is in the middle of the standings.

Unfortunately, Sevilla lost the previous match against Granda. The same mistake they will not make again. Either way, they will score 3 points against Celta Vigo. And if they can win this match, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad will get equal points. I am quite optimistic Sevilla will win this match.

One of the most attracting teams, Rayo Vallecano are going to play a home game against Elche exactly one week later. Rayo Vallecano had a 4-game unbeaten streak until losing to Osasuna 1-0 away. But I don't think that this loss will be very affective on their form. I expect them to be fully focused against Elche also. I like to watch Radamel Falcao here also as he scored in every game he played in the La Liga so far. Elche shouldn't be a very tough opponent for them and they should be able to win this.

The problem is that the team has a huge loan-debt on ground to payout,for this reason they cannot cope with signing good dutch or Spanish players for now but with time, i think if the coach could reasons out with the administrators they could figure everything out .
Barcelona still stands a chance to come back to form,am fully convinced about these as memphis depay was signed to join them. Brywaith is also picking up for good form and that can validate them standing a chance to maybe contest for the best one the top table .

Rayo Vallecano at home most likely will not lose to Elche, but there may be a draw. Rayo now occupies a fairly high place for himself in La Liga, I suppose that teams like Villarreal, Valencia or Barcelona will eventually be able to move Rayo Valecano down the standings, it's just a matter of time.

The visitors are doing better than the home side, despite the return of Sergio Aguero for this fixture I still believe the pressure will still be high on Barcelona the least they can get from this game is a draw.
It'll be totally difficult for Roland Koeman and he's side to defeat Valencia.
Still haven't won any game in the Champions League group stage, two loss from the German Champions and Benfica.
A change in management will ensure they quality for the round of sixteen.

Excited to see Aguero in this week when Barcelona faced with Valencia, maybe Koeman will give chance for player not regular how ever on middle week they will play on champion league, most important match than domestic league faced with Valencia because if keep failed get three point when faced with Dynamo Kyiv Barcelona not have chance to pass on group phase.

Yeah, they have always fought for the EL positions so far. Maybe this year can be different than the others but we don't know if they will be able to keep up a good form. They managed to qualify for the CL last season and they can do this again. I hope that they don't only send En-Nesyri to another club. They will need to fill his place with a forward who is as good as him at least.

There will always be teams that will end up with a good run here and there time to time and then go down. What I believe will happen is that Sevilla will be doing good for a while and then go down to midtable again and then end up going to a place where it is like rebuilding and so forth which will be going to a bigger place when the players grow together and repeat the whole thing.

This is how most teams do in La Liga aside from Real Madrid and Barcelona, they go to top places and be top 5, then end up being like 8-14 levels for a while then become top 5 again. Sevilla is likely to be going down in a season or two and repeat later.

[mv1986]

Look at their CL statistics: 0 - 6 goals, 2 losses, last in the table. They need a miracle to qualify for the final around, let alone the Europa League...

I read that Derby County is supposedly using a different league table in the last two games after getting administration and a 12 points deduction, and it immediately made a different psychological boost leading to their games getting won. Players played more energetically and the dressing room was more alive, apparently.

Maybe Barca need to use a different Champions League table and play as if they won 2 games already lol.

Anyway, all they need to do is win next 2 games and it won't look so bad, it's okay (I say myself).

Your point sounds like if the other teams weren't playing games while Barcelona wins two games!

This is going to be very, very tough for Barcelona. But honestly speaking, it isn't all that surprising. They had to crash at some point in time. Koeman is the worst coach you could ever think of and they don't have any real superstars in the team anymore. They are going to crash really hard!

[judas]

As far as I can see, the Villarreal - Osasuna game next week could be a really interesting one. Villarreal are the only team that haven't got any loss but they got five draws in their seven games in the La Liga so far. They are very prone to draw with their competitors. On the other hand, Osasuna might be having one of their best starts to a season so far. Because they are at the 5th place now and they are only 3 points behind the leader. They managed to defeat Vallecano which were having very positive results until then. Villarreal will want to put an end to their habit of getting a draw by winning this time. But I will still be expecting a competitive game.

Barcelona's performance,which is still very poor this season is still very much of a surprise to me.Since Lionnel Messi left the club to PSG,Barcelona have been performing very poorly.And the game between Valencia and them,is really going to be a do or die affair.The encounter is really going to be tough,but I see a draw there,because Valencia is away,and Barcelona is not going to just sit back and watch them win them,I think they will play to win too.but I predict a draw game.

This match will be competitive. Osasuna's past matches performance is good enough. Villarreal, on the other hand, has not lost any match. Villarreal will definitely want to maintain their unbeaten streak. Osasuna, on the other hand, would like to strengthen their position in the points table by winning this match. However, my idea is that Villarreal will play with the goal of drawing and will adopt defensive tactics. Winning against such a team is really difficult.

Villarreal is currently the only team that haven't lost any match in the La Liga, and I think they won't want to lose their home match to Osasuna. But, Osasuna have been doing good later which earned them the 5th position on the standings, they need to avoid losing in order for their position not to drop. The match will be interesting and tough, but if Villarreal happens to win, it will be with a goal  difference. However am also expecting a draw, because both teams seems won't want to lose.

This is very interesting now for them as they are playing at home but sadly 6 months back Osasuna beat them at home, so now it's very important for them to have to keep their unbeatable record against very high-flying Osasuna. Now It's going to be very interesting for both teams to have their points because after very long time visitors have good start in league, and they want to stay at top on other side Villareal is also looking for their 100% record and now time for them to have their spot at some high level because they are much better than their current spot.

Sometimes I like to make jokes about my own team, especially when there's only a lot to cry about, sometimes you just have to take a shot at yourself and your team and laugh together right?

I said it myself often here in this forum last season that I wanted them to crash hard, to force a reset. The problem is, I didn't think it would be an enforced reset (due to financial reasons and losing Messi also forced) that would cause the hard crash.

I'm going to keep laughing at ourselves until this happens, the time for sadness has gone.

Villarreal's goal in every match is to draw the match. For this they play defensively. When 10 players on the team act as defenders, the opponent must have good luck to score against them, as well as have an experienced striker in their squad. Osasuna is playing very well, they have scored 11 goals in 8 matches. Looks like they could score against Villarreal.
