La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[LittleBitFunny]

The match between Levante and Getafe, 75 minutes is over, but neither team are able to score. The two teams are very weak and both teams are in the relegation zone. Getafe is the last team in the points table and Levante is the 18th team. However, I guess this match will be a 1-1 draw. But neither team could score a goal. Very poor performance of both teams.

Getafe is presently in their worst form, they haven't won any match this season, and have lost 7 matches. They are at the bottom of the standings. I was even expecting Levante to beat them, but is obvious Levante is also another weak club, who finds it difficult to win matches.

Getafe is losing eligibility to play in the La Liga. In 9 matches they have drawn only 2 matches and in all other matches they have lost. Levante, on the other hand, have drawn five of their nine matches and lost the remaining four. My guess is that Levante will probably be in La Liga. But next season we will not see Getafe in La Liga. They will not be able to survive with such a poor performance.

I do believe that the unbalancing issue is from the distribution of the money as well. La Liga winners and runners ups get a ton of money and suddenly by the third team you are getting a lot less money and the problem is that real madrid and Barcelona is a worldwide team whereas other teams are not doing marketing to whole world. I do not know many people in the world who are fan of villareal, getafe, bilbao or whatever because it just doesn't make sense at all for them to do something like that. I believe that there is a good chance that we are looking at a finance issue and nothing else.

EPL still is unbalanced but that is based on the owners and there are too many owners that are billionaires and that is why we are in a situation where City is better because they have a lot of players that the owner could afford to buy. They are worried about newcastle to turn to the same thing as well. Both unbalanced but the reasons are different.

Yeah and if you see how much Barca's money came from the sale of Messi shirts and how that alone is bigger than any other La Liga club's income in the past years (except Real of course), then you see how impossible and unbalanced it is.

If Barca had been smarter, it would have used all of that money to build better, improve stadium and youth and expand. Instead they threw money away to get Coutinho and others.

Normally Valencia games are always hard and now it's harder because of Barca's current form and squad quality. Draw or Valencia win wouldn't be a surprise result but Barcelona is still favorite at home. Both teams have same points but Barcelona have one game missing. So it's a potential 18 points for them if they win both matches. We can say Barcelona may look far from top place but reality is not like that. If they don't win today's game it will be a problem though.
Last year both games finished with too many goals, we can see similar game today. Valencia started season good but they couldn't win in their last four games. My pick is over 2.5 goals for this match.

That is true. Messi alone brought more than half the revenue of Barcelona. Messi himself is a brand and after he left there was already a huge gap in Barca's revenue. And now that Barcelona is kind of out of the title race and I doubt that they will do good in the CL, their revenue will lessen and as a result, their financial situation will get worse as per my understanding.

Barcelona vs Valencia, another news I heard Aguero has been good. Maybe he can appear against Valencia later. He has played in the trials against EU Cornella. Looks like he scored too. Maybe his presence can add strength to Barca's attack, even though he is not young anymore at least his experience is very valuable. In addition, maybe Koeman might field Gavi and Ansu Fati, his appearance is quite interesting. They are still young. I think Gavi and Ansu Fati are a long-term project for the regeneration of Barcelona. It is very difficult to predict the result, but Barca clearly excel playing at Camp Nou. Valencia are not so good, in four games they never win.

My prediction 1-0 for Barcelona

Levante, on the other hand, have drawn five of their nine matches and lost the remaining four. My guess is that Levante will probably be in La Liga. But next season we will not see Getafe in La Liga. They will not be able to survive with such a poor performance.

It is true that Getafe have been very bad this season as they have not won a single game in their 9 Laliga match. But because this is only week 9 for Laliga, it is still possible for them to try to get up and improve everything to stay in Laliga next season. There will be 3 team relegated at the end of the season, so it's obvious Getafe will try not to be one of them.

Today Barcelona will play against Valencia, of course I don't want Barcelona to slip again in this match and this win is mandatory for them. To be in the top 10 with 12 point is a failure for Barcelona, ​​so I don't think they should sit there much longer.

I am pretty sure that they have no choice at that time, the only solution was to let him leave the club. If they can keep Messi, they must do it because Messi is like the soul of the Barcelona team. Sadly, Barcelona management found has no way to keep him on the club. Moreover, Barcelona has a very big problem in the financial sector, they cannot agree with Messi's salary.
Regarding Koeman, this man actually was almost fired by Barcelona management. But they seem to give him one last chance. If he cannot win any single trophy for Barcelona this season, I assume he will be fired by Barcelona management at the end of this season. Let's see what Koeman can do in this season, there are still a few months remainings.

Actually, at the beginning, they were still struggling, there were some people who thought that they had to release Griezman, Dembele and several other players so that Messi wouldn't just be released. but there are some considerations that may indeed be unavoidable and their fault is that they even add new players even though in this case there are some that are free but of course their salary is not.
and for Koeman as long as he still talks a lot about theory but the results on the pitch are different, I'm very sure that Barcelona will not be able to get a single title this season.
unless there is a significant change in the leadership of the coach and the way the team plays I think maybe it is still possible even though it is very difficult.

Unfortunately, Barcelona in its current state does not look like a team that should definitely win some trophy this season. The issues of inviting Koeman and leaving Messi in the team were actually interrelated. Koeman was just invited to the team by the previous management in order to make a generational change in the team by getting rid of a number of players, but still continuing to keep Messi in the squad and continuing to build the game around him, using his best qualities. Another question is how all this was done and to what results everything eventually came. In Koeman's defense, I would like to say that the disposition has changed completely, the club has financial problems, and Messi is trying to win titles in another country and with another team.

With the current conditions and their undeveloped performance, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to get at least one title.

and regarding messi's departure as discussed by Koeman in your thread I don't think this will make sense to what messi said in his last farewell, which at that time messi said that he would not change clubs as long as the club management wanted to kick him out and from here only we can know how loyal messi is to barcelona.
but whatever it is it's over and messi has started to adapt to his new club.

Villarreal 1 - 1 Osasuna

Osasuna was winning and now the game is tied and there is a risk of Osasuna losing

Barcelona - Valencia

I thought about betting on barcelona but then changed my mind i think it will be another high risk game for those who bet on this game

My prediction 1-0 for Barcelona

Whatever position Valencia is in, they always play strongly against teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. So I think it will be a difficult game for Barcelona. There are chances to win, but I think there will be a lot of goals in the match. Games between these teams have always been distinguished by an abundance of goals.

[snipie]

What a win by Real Sociedad they were a man down the entire match against Mallorca and they won in the 90th minute what a team!!!
They are currently first in the La Liga and have 3 points more then the second place team. In europe league they didnt start well but in laliga they are dominating

Real Sociedad generally won their games vs Mallorca without the latter being able to score. The more ridiculous thing is they played half the game with 10 players yet they won and took the first place.
Real Madrid, Sevilla and ATM, which still lacks 1 game, are 3 points away and can claim the first position at some point.
1 hour and Barca game will start vs Valencia.

[izsara]

Barcelona's first mistake was letting Messi go even though there were still options at that time to keep him.
The second mistake is to entrust Koeman as a coach with methods and tactics that are not compatible with Barcelona.

I am pretty sure that they have no choice at that time, the only solution was to let him leave the club. If they can keep Messi, they must do it because Messi is like the soul of the Barcelona team. Sadly, Barcelona management found has no way to keep him on the club. Moreover, Barcelona has a very big problem in the financial sector, they cannot agree with Messi's salary.

Regarding Koeman, this man actually was almost fired by Barcelona management. But they seem to give him one last chance. If he cannot win any single trophy for Barcelona this season, I assume he will be fired by Barcelona management at the end of this season. Let's see what Koeman can do in this season, there are still a few months remainings.

it is very difficult to see this happen because there are some unavoidable factors such as messi at that time his status was a player whose contract had expired and was definitely considered a new player again because of the extension of the contract as well as the finances of the club and the new rules set federation.
this is unavoidable.
apart from that it's all over and barcelona currently seem to have lost their role models and spearheads on the pitch and now they are being blunt.

regarding koeman i am very doubtful about his current leadership, apart from barcelona who gave the opportunity i am actually not too sure this is the right decision because the more i have watched this koeman than the coach he is now like an observer and commentator because he often talks rather than works more are you serious.
The reasons he makes are currently very diverse when Barcelona suffer defeats, especially consecutive defeats in two UCL matches

Villarreal 1 - 1 Osasuna
Osasuna was winning and now the game is tied and there is a risk of Osasuna losing

Osasuna managed to score another goal and won the game. Villarreal dominated in the match and kept pressure on Osasuna defence. But Osasuna didn't let them to score more goal. A great victory for Osasuna.

Barcelona - Valencia
I thought about betting on barcelona but then changed my mind i think it will be another high risk game for those who bet on this game

Betting odds is in favour of Barcelona. But I have placed my bet on Valencia too. Recent performance of Barcelona is lower than my expectations. Valencia isn't in good form too but I want to keep them ahead today.

[skarais]

Did I find something wrong in today's Barcelona vs Valencia line-up? As far as I know Dest is a player who plays as a right-back or left-back, but why did Koeman put him as a winger in today's match? I don't know if this is one of the tricks to trick Koeman's opponents in this match, but if it's wrong then Koeman really does a lot of testing for new positions for his players.

[3meek]

Barcelona have serious problems within the team... I'm not sure they'll be able to come back in this match! Valencia are a serious opponent, not easy to beat, especially if you miss a fast goal! The statistics of the last games, by the way, show that both teams are playing about the same...

While writing this post, Barça managed to even the score! We'll see what happens next! A really interesting game!

[skarais]

Dest seems to be able to play in that position as expected and that helps Barcelona quite a bit to explore the right side of the pitch. Barcelona just scored the second goal through the white point by Depay which changed the score to 2-1. It's a good sign for Barcelona, ​​but I still want to see it in the second half because it looks like Valencia don't give up easily.

Osasuna managed to score another goal and won the game. Villarreal dominated in the match and kept pressure on Osasuna defence. But Osasuna didn't let them to score more goal. A great victory for Osasuna.

Valencia is very unlucky, at 5 minutes Valencia scored a goal and at 12 minutes Barcelona tied the game and Valencia's bad luck got worse at 41 minutes when Barcelona scored the second goal. this leads me to think that the game will end with barcelona's victory


Villarreal 1 - 2 Osasuna

Osasuna won, for a few minutes I thought the game would end in a draw

[BIT-BENDER]

Big first half win for Barcelona against one of Barcelona tough opponent in the spanish la liga, I didn't pick this game in my bet because I doubted Barcelona to win this straight, and it's only first half now. But coming back to win in the first half is impressive from the Barcelona of this season, ansu fati is the future of Barcelona and in this match he has been part of the impressive players on the pitch, I hope barcelona can conclude this match with the three points and go into the UEFA champions league at exciting spirits.

After losing against Atletico Madrid now today they are much better and have better game Fati and Deepay already give some good lead even we have some long time, but now they can do better because next few days are really hard for them, they have one game in Champions League, and then they have Classico Derby against Real Madrid. Today's win is very important for them as this will give some good confidence which will help in Kyiv match, they are desperately looking for their first win in this season in Champions League today's win will provide them good platform for this all.

Good thing they have some crucial matches at home where their record is very good, this can give some good advantage for having good results from these matches.

That is true, they did sell a lot of jerseys of messi, and even griezzman, and even suarez to be fair. However them lacking those players doesn't mean that they will not make any revenue at all, they will keep on making money both from league, TV rights, sponsorship, gate keipts, champions league and so forth.

What they have to do is not to look getting back to that revenue level, but try to drop the costs, that way they will be doing fine. They are capable of paying 100-150 million total for the players, even as much as 200 million, and lets say they have another 200 million running operational costs as well. That is 400 million, let's put up another 100 million for unexpected stuff and they got 500 million dollars cost. Even without jersey sales, that's AT LEAST 100+ million a year, and even then some if they could end up with some success.

Koeman is not the manager for that, but if they could get rid of excess players and put up good talented young players, and get a manager like Xavi, making 700-800 is not impossible and that would be 200-300 profit each year. Even with less revenue, as long as you have less debt then you can get out of it easily, it all depends on dropping the costs.

I don't know if this is one of the tricks to trick Koeman's opponents in this match, but if it's wrong then Koeman really does a lot of testing for new positions for his players.

There was nothing wrong in the Line-up. Barcelona is in some sort of crisis on the Right wing, for example, Dembélé did not feature, so they needed someone who would offer some speed on that flank and that's where Dest comes in since he can also play the Right Midfield Position.
