La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[nelson4lov]

I hope Aguero is fine, sure manager changes and bad results and sacking Koeman all are bad things for the general outcome of the team but this is life situation and when we are talking about something regarding someone's life, football needs to take a back seat. I hope that he will feel better in the near future, I hope he doesn't force himself and tire himself out too much, he should take a rest for a while and try to get better.

I know that it is not going to be easy for a player like him to just rest for a long period but he definitely needs it. Barcelona also another bad news from Al-Sadd who doesn't want to let Xavi go, and I think both Barcelona president who doesn't want Xavi since Xavi turned him down before, on top of Xavi not wanting to lead a team that is so bad right now combined will make it near impossible for all parties to come to an agreement.

I saw the news about Aguero's health and I felt really sorry fir him. Even though he played at rival clubs, Aguero was one of my favorite forwards of all time. I also saw a section that said that he would be out indefinitely until they get full details and studies about his condition and how best to handle it. Too bad for him. Given everything to football and now this.

On Xavi's case, if he doesn't want to come to Barcelona, they shouldn't force him and instead line up 2-3 alternatives.

Well, I would say that the collapse was in the air already when Messi spent his last year in Barcelona as he was forced to stay. The team wasn't the same already at that point. No more Neymar and Suarez, Griezmann couldn't get back in shape. Now Barcelona is going to suffer a lot. All those hardcore fans and their team is no more able to really compete with the top.

Barcelona are struggling to compete, and it's only normal if you look at the players they currently have in their team, watching Barcelona's games these days and I find it difficult to identify some of the players I see in the team, it's that bad, it's not just the fault of the manager, they need to buy new players, but they seem to be in a financial crisis, thus I don't know where the money they'll spend on players is going to come from. I may not like Barcelona so much, but it's sad to see a club of their status in their present condition, this is a club that is renowned for competing, but at the moment, they are struggling to compete with even the lower teams in the league, I actually hope Barca find their feet again sooner than later.

I absolutely feel what you are saying. You saw the squad and just thought "who the heck is playing today?". I almost didn't recognize any player there. It shows that they failed at managing this massive change in their team that was inbound. Put on top of that the financial situation and you can imagine where Barcelona will be at in five years from now. This is nothing you can significantly improve just over night. That is going to take a decade because without success in the soccer games, their financial crisis will even increase further.

Any football club is evaluated by results and Barcelona is no exception here. Barcelona is still able to make a competitive squad in the near future, although to fight in the domestic championship. Therefore, you should not immediately aim for the title of the winner of the Champions League and cry about the fact that it cannot be done in the next few years. First, the club must stabilize the results and composition in La Liga, as well as improve the financial situation. All this will take much less than ten years, and Barcelona has all the prerequisites for this, it's just not necessary to engage in gigantomania and immediately set inflated goals, because the same successful times that were with Messi are unlikely to happen again in the near future.

Atletico Madrid is currently playing against Real Betis and if current scores don't change, this will put Atletico 2 points behind league leaders Real Madrid and Sevilla and from the look of things the old top 5 is back but Barcelona is nowhere to be seen
in this pack and not to be so hard on them they could catch up with a couple of wins if they play with consistent wins.

As things stand in Wanda Metropolitano @ half time Atletico Madrid 1-0 Betis

Atletico played an excellent match and was able to win confidently, which allowed them to keep a 2-point lag Real Madrid. Unexpectedly for me, Sevilla and Real Sociedad are also holding their positions well, so the top four are very tight and the whole fight is just ahead. As for Barcelona, I doubt that they will be able to join this group of leaders, for them to finish the season in the Eurocups zone will already be a good result.

I think Real Sociedad is who is surprisingly on top right, but for Sevilla they kinda belong in a champions league qualifying spot or at least a Europa League one, Sociedad on the other hand have been doing well since last year, their players have great chemistry and they perform good football, and for me Alexander Isak is there star right now he's only 22 years old but been scoring some important goals for them lately and one of them was today, he's such a talented player but I doubt he would stay a longtime with Sociedad.

An easy win for atleteco Madrid against 3-0 scored by carrasco, pezzela (own goal) and joao felix, betis wasn't able to create anything and they just shot one time on goal in the whole match

By this win atleteco take betis place in the 4th place with just 3 points behind the leader + a missing game, a good situation for the champion

[Masplanc]

An easy win you said, no game in the Laliga is a soft one,you must fight to get what you want, prior to this game,they did loss and Drew matches they supposed to win.
Good to know they currently sit at the comfortably in the quest of defending there title his time around, they play Liverpool on Wednesday.

Atletico Madrid was just lucky to have won the match, I don't really know that happened to Real Betis throughout the match that they could not score any goal. Although, Real Betis is not a weak team, despite losing the game, they are still in the 5th place and are 1 point behind Atletico Madrid presently. However, Atletico Madrid performance in the match was great, they could have scored more goals, but lost many opportunities of scoring. Nevertheless, they will need to avoid losing matches in order to maintain their current position.

I agree with you. No game is soft, is either the club struggles to win the game or draw in a match, or end up losing that game. And also no team should be underestimated when it comes to playing matches.

Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool will probably be a tough match, and Atletico have to be well prepared in order not to lose to Liverpool again in the Champion League.

You are right, even if the opponent is really weak, though they cannot be considered as a weak team. Because any small mistake in the match can lead to defeat. We often see big teams lose badly against relatively small teams.
The match between Atletico Madrid vs Liverpool cannot be predicted. I have watched all of Liverpool's past matches, the performance of their players is outstanding. As a team they perform exceptionally well. They won 5-0 against Manchester United. If Atletico Madrid want to win this match, they must strengthen their defense.

Athletico Madrid are coming out again to do wonders,matches are now becoming easy for them to win.
Flogging Real betis is another relief for them,and they are seeming difficult to be befeated this season.
With the player's they have in the team now,they will certainly form a strong team together,that will even be able to challenge for Champions league trophy.

Hopefully today's match between Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo will be competitive. Although Celta Vigo's performance is not good. They have scored only 10 points in 11 matches. Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, will now be fully confident of beating Celta Vigo in the win over Barcelona in the previous match. Rayo Vallecano is more likely to win this match. In the last 5 matches between these two teams, both teams have won two matches and drawn one match.

[KTChampions]

Atletico Madrid showed that they are in this championship race with this win. They got a clear result by scoring three goals against a strong opponent at home. Moreover, although Griezmann and Suarez did not score today, Atletico found three goals with other players.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, were demolished with a goal conceded in the last minute. They were very close to getting another three points but Iker Muniain thwarted the plans. Athletic Bilbao saved the draw by scoring after ten men remained. They got a very important point.

I continue to be surprised at the weak efficiency of the Suarez-Griezmann pair, if Suarez is more or less effective, then Griezmann is still looking for his own game. At the same time, Atlético is only 3 points behind the leaders, probably after Griezman comes to his senses Atletico will be one of the main favorites in the fight for the championship.

Surely right now it's not easy for them to having good results but still they have few players those are doing best for this club and have ability to bring back some better results.

Financial situation is really poor, but this is also solvable right now their best priority is right man for the position of manager because it's very important after having some good combination of players those give them better results this can take some long time and this can also hurt them for short time because no good results mean not better income, but this cycle is happened with many others, and they also have to face this for short period because they have good history and bright future in soccer world which is really helpful for them in their fight.

[jakdanyel]

Real Sociedad - Athletic Bilbao match was a really dramatic one. Real Sociedad got 1-0 ahead and the Athletic Bilbao player Inigo Martinez was shown a red card in the 84th minute. I thought that Real Sociedad would definitely win after that. However, Muniain scored a very dramatic goal in the stoppage time and the match ended up with a 1-1 score. Real Sociedad are still the leader by one point though but they have an extra match played. Real Madrid and Sevilla follow them by one point having one match missing also.

Another interesting match - Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo... Bookmakers are giving juicy odds on the home side's victory - 2.4... I think I can take advantage of that! Celta play very bad, and Rayo Vallecano recently beat a Barca, and in general they play very well at home!

[W Jr.]

In La Liga, Getafe managed to beat Espanyol 2-1. Young Turkish striker Enes Ünal scored the team's 2 goals. I especially liked the first goal. Also, one of Espanyol's goal was disallowed because it was offside. Getafe took their first win, but they are still in last place in the league.

Rayo Vallecano started the 2021-2022 season very impressive, getting 19 points from 11 games is a great achievement. Victory over Barcelona made Rayo players enjoy the trip even more this season. Iraola coach will use the same formation against Barcelona 4-2-3-1, Falcao will be the lone striker.
Celta Vigo started the season a bit disappointing, Eduardo Coudet team has recorded 7 defeats, 1 draw and 3 wins, Celta Vigo has a mission to find victory at the Estadio de Vallecas so as not to get stuck in the relegation zone.

Score Prediction Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo 2-1 for Rayo victory.

[slaman29]

No need to view at UCL spots anymore, just take each game one by one, with UCL one coming up next. We must beat Kiev to look forward.

Time is still long and this can be pursued after a change from coach Xavi Hernandes maybe now is a difficult period in terms of finances but if the game is neat and disciplined this can be a shield for Barcelona to recover and this week with CL matches is enough should be able to win for Barcelona.
I hope Xavi has a special affinity for players even though he is a player and a player still playing for Barcelona.

I'm not sure if Xavi's the right choice, but for sure he's one of the few who understands the Barca spirit and if he can find a way to bring the youngsters together and reinstill the spirit for fighting football with beautiful grace, then yes, as you say, someone to steer the club through this storm.

as you said, the most important thing for barcelona now is not the title but their transition which must be corrected immediately, besides that the mentality of the team and cooperation need to be improved again.
forget about the championship, they must focus on settling their debts first before venturing into performance. because if their debt is allowed to drag on then I guarantee Barcelona will be more chaotic than now.

It will take at least 2 whole seasons for this to happen, because of the size of debt but indeed if we trim our expenses and bring us back to principles of beautiful football and most importantly bring back respect to the player and the club, then we already put one foot in the right path.

Rayo has managed to achieve a total of 6 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats and now they are in 6th position in the standings and shows that Rayo performance is clearly more consistent compared to celta which has only managed to make 7 defeats, 1 draw and 3 wins. Even so, the match will be an interesting match, especially now that celta really need a win to stay away from the relegation zone.
My prediction rayo will win with a score of 2:1

I think not only comes from Xavi, healthy management of healthy finances will affect the team in the competition. Because I believe today football is a business and football is a job. They play not purely for fun they make money to live. It seems that before Bara gets a new investor then I think they will have financial problems. If they are not able to survive there will probably be many players who will immediately go to other clubs.

True that rayo valecano are really good this season in term of results and performance but this kind of games is where many gamblers lose their money, true that rayo valecano beat barcelona and many other good teams but that could impact them in a bad way they can understimate their opponent and the game can end up in a draw.
