La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hahay]

We are getting closer to the El Clasico in four days. This one is going to be in Camp Nou. Considering their recent forms in the La Liga, they are not so different than each other. But Barcelona got a very critical win against Valencia though by 3-1 home. And today, they won against Dynamo Kyiv in their CL game. These are very positive for them to perform well against Real Madrid. And Real Madrid didn't play a game in the La Liga last week. But they defeated Shakhtar by a huge score in the CL. This is going to be a really interesting El Clasico. But my favourite team will be Real Madrid.

Usually the home team will  more advantage and become the favourite at least this position becomes a point regardless of the last performance of the two teams
Win percentage in my opinion is 55:45 unless there is an unexpected thing such as a red card this might change the situation

Does home advantage really matter in a match like El-clasico? Every Ref.that is going officiate that match knows very well that the El-clasico game is not a game you bring in home advantage,because it is a do or die game. Barcelona is not really inform,although they are begining to gain momentum now,let's see how that match will look like.But I don't think there is going to be a win,if a win should be in that match,then Real Madrid are the favourite to get it.

Yes, big matches like El Clasico at home are actually not very favorable and this has happened many times in the past. At that time both teams looked to be in their best form but still, when they play at least there will always be a win for the away team. Now the situation is equally difficult but both are in different positions in the standings, maybe that is also what makes Madrid the favorite based on the odds available at this time even though it is only a slight difference behind the comma. Therefore, I personally think that this El Clasico both teams have a chance to win the match but for me, betting on a double chance such as a draw or Madrid might be a good option too.

This is going to be a really interesting El Clasico. But my favourite team will be Real Madrid.

Although barcelona managed to beat valencia last week, but barcelona performance did not improve and it was seen when they faced a relatively very weak Dinamo Kyiv  in CL last night, barcelona played quite badly and the combination of young players they fielded in the match did not have good coordination with each other players, in contrast to real madrid who have looked quite consistent in the last few matches and even we can see if their attack line this season is quite dangerous even though their defense is a little weak, I personally feel that El Classico will not be as fierce as a few years ago, but I predict if Real Madrid will win the match with a minimum score of 2-0.

[KTChampions]

I'm surprised that in a pair of Barcelona - Real the odds from the bookmakers are practically equal:
‍2,65 - 3,70 - 2,55
Although there are only two points between the teams, it is clear that Real is in much better shape and will be the favorite in this match. I do not think that the factor of home field will outweigh the real balance of forces of the teams at the moment.

After Barcelona showed a dull game at home, and Real Madrid showed an excellent away game, the odds changed (but just a little):
2,75 - 3,60 - 2,55
But I still disagree with the fact that Barcelona has practically equal chances with Real Madrid. I think in this pair we should bet on a simple victory for Real, it's easy money.

I do think that Real might have a slight edge over Barcelona in this one but not by much. Barca is recovering from the bad start of the season but their defense is still shaky and scoring power has been nerfed after Messi left. On the other hand, Real won their last match with a margin of 5 goals where Vinicius scored 2. So in terms of Real' attack vs Barca's defense - I think real Madrid wins that.

[slaman29]

Best news of the day for me to hear Fati finally got his extension til 2027. I've been worried the most about him, to be honest, so getting him and his best formative years all locked in at Barca (not to mention also locking in Pedri with 1 billion clause in his contract wow), at least the core of the team has started forming for the future. Great news ahead of El Clasico!

I also agree with you, Both teams haven't had the best of starts of the season but I think Real is in a better position compared to Barcelona,  both on the field and on the table. Though Barca has won their last match against Kyiv but still scoring seems like a problem for them, unlike Real Madrid who has just scored 5 in their last match. So I think Madrid has a better chance to win this one.

I am not saying that Valencia is a better team than Shaktar, but it is obvious that Valencia is no short deal neither, Kiev also is a very good team as well. I am not saying this to sound like Barcelona is suddenly better than Real Madrid, I believe that both sides suck as well, I believe Madrid is a little bit better since they still have some of their older players compared to Barcelona that is in rebuilding mode.

However these last 2-3 games should not be the proof of that, we have a lot more to look for in these cases. Obviously it is something that Barcelona looked a little less but at the same time they did that all season. When the topic is El Classico, anything could happen.

Barcelona missed many chance to score more goal in their last match in Champions League and Ansu Fati tend to has the selfishness of a star player. Even he is young and was given a main position recently.

One moment in that match, if Ansu makes a pass, two of his team mates can easily score a goal and secure the win for Barcelona. Fortunately, Barcelona won but with only one goal and with their defense, they can end that match with a draw. I think Ansu Fati must learn and grow up. He is becoming an important player of Barcelona but he needs to know when he should shoot and when he should make a pass or key pass.

About the odds and the El Classico, I think Real Madrid will win it. They have more experienced players that are important in big match like El Classico.

I don't think at all that Barcelona will win in El Clasico this weekend. Watching them play is really boring. Last in UCL they won 1-0 but their game was boring. Maybe this time El Clasico becomes a regular game because their star has gone. But in terms of the game I chose Madrid to win this time. Some Matches either in the League or in the UCL they played better than Barcelona. IMO

I'm pretty sure it's not about the odds but the Catalan Fans. It goes without saying that after the departure of their iconic striker, Barça lost ground, but depay is doing his best and hardcore fans understand this, and I am sure that they will have a "warm" welcome to Real Madrid. In addition to all of the above, Barca has not won this Derby for more than two years, so a victory would definitely cheer up the whole team, ^{[Although I was betting on Real]}.

And after all there are still the fans as you said. it is a home game for Barcelona. If this were a game on neutral grounds, I would totally agree that Real Madrid would definitely be the favorite. But it is what it is: a home game for Barcelona and Real Madrid neither is the super power it used to be. They are the better team of the two fallen giants. Depay is indeed awesome enough to also score brilliantly. I do agree there is a slight edge for Madrid, but calling it easy money certainly goes a bit too far.

I'm sure it's not just one or two stars playing on the pitch.
Madrid can have the upper hand because we know they have a better game at the moment. Currently, Madrid is better in goal productivity than Barca. Although the match will run at Cham Nou, Madrid still has a greater chance of winning than Barca.
Madrid still has a row of attackers with big names. and that's what makes Madrid still very productive today.
I am sure, this duel will remain interesting and warm in the eyes of their respective fans.

I think that home advantage hardly plays a role in these kinds of high-pressure matches like El Clásico. If you see the recent results, it clearly shows that Real has the upper hand in the matchup. Barca though has somewhat recovered from their goal drought but not that much. On the other hand, it seems like whenever Benzema touches the ball, he either scores or makes his teammate score. So I'd have to say that Real might with this El Clásico even after playing in the away ground.

The house advantage can sometimes provide a big boost for players to play better. The fans are the 12th player for the team to play, so since this is their home, winning is what they want most.

So far, Barcelona has always struggled to win games because Koeman did not find formations and players that really helped the team. But the match againt Valencia a few days ago gave the coach a breath of fresh air because his players and strategies worked perfectly and could bring positive results. The same was applied to the match vs. Leipzig yesterday and they also managed to win.

I would not actually call it easy money. Real and Barca both haven't been that good after the recent transfer window. Barca lost their star Messi and Real lost their 2 best defenders Ramos and Varane. And after that, both the teams are somewhat inconsistent. Yes, Barca has been worse than Madrid as they are having issues scoring but even Real lost to a comparatively smaller team like Sheriff. Yes, Madrid has a slight edge (not much though) over Barca in this one but I wouldn't say that they will win 100% of the time.

[blackened515]

Real Madrid bossed sharktar Donetsk today 0---5 is such a good on for them to boost them confidence for the El classico coming up during the weekend.
Barcelona will be playing tommorow let's see how well they will perform to judge how well they would play at camp nou.

Real Madrid put up a great performance in the match, and they were able to win with clean sheet despite playing away. Also, Real Madrid have been doing fine lately, and I have no doubt that they won't lose against Barcelona on Sunday.
While Barcelona managed to win with a goal against Dynoma Kyiv in the Champion League. Winning against Real Madrid will definitely be tough for them, but my prediction on the match is both team to score.

Best news of the day for me to hear Fati finally got his extension til 2027. I've been worried the most about him, to be honest, so getting him and his best formative years all locked in at Barca (not to mention also locking in Pedri with 1 billion clause in his contract wow), at least the core of the team has started forming for the future. Great news ahead of El Clasico!

Ansu Fati is the most worthy player for Barcelona to maintain as a potential top player in the future. He is still quite young and has good pace as a winger so his acceleration is always impressive. If he trains harder then I'm sure he will become a super star in the next few years.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid in the next few days and I don't think this El Clasico can be won by Barcelona. Although Aguero can already play but I haven't seen him contribute much to Barcelona's victory because he's just recovered from a long injury. Given that Barcelona have had a lot of weaknesses in various ways this season, Real Madrid will be the favorites in this El Clasico, but who knows because this is football.

[Pulsar77]

We are only three days away from the El Clasico in Camp Nou. Considering the last games of both of these teams, Barcelona seem to be in a better shape. Because they won their last two games while Real Madrid were ending their bad streak by the huge 5-0 win against Shakhtar. But still, Barcelona don't seem as a trustworthy team to me. I think that Real Madrid are a more credible team to win in this El Clasico. But I still expect a very competitive game. I don't think that any side will win by more than one-goal gap. My favourite is Real Madrid.

[JeromeTash]

So far, El Classico has been an emotional match between the two clubs who have a long history of rivalry in La Liga, but admit it or not, El Classico when both players (Messi and Ronaldo) are the mainstays of their respective teams, makes El Classico even hotter,Moreover, these two players are the best players in the world and besides their clubs have a high rivalry, the two players also often become rivals when competing for personal awards so far and that is what makes el classico a few years ago more interesting than el classico without both the player at this time.

El Clásico used to be a "hotter" contest, even before the arrival of Messi and Ronaldo into the scene. Only people who started watching soccer in the last decade might think it was Messi and Ronaldo who made it what it is today.

Take an example of Real Madrid when Ronaldo left, They still beat Barça in some games and even played entertaining football, didn't they?

I think it's the CR7 or Messi Fans who might think that the clasico will be boring because their favourite players won't play it anymore, but for us who have been following La Liga, It's just another big and potentially entertaining clasico match coming up.

We will see how the talent of Ansu Pati in the next few years may be an asset for Barcelona to keep him as a talented and young player.

It's true that Barcelona still has many weaknesses but this El Clasico match will still be with Real Madrid who supports it a lot but I believe this is anything football can happen but in terms of quality of play Real Madrid is more dominant to win in El Clasico.
