La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[sana54210]

many big teams with better positions indeed take lightly their opponents who are far below.
it can also provide a trap set by soccer bookies by making bets for the big team with smaller odds. but the reality on the ground will always be different and give a lot of surprises. not a few teams that are at the bottom can also beat big teams who underestimate the game against small teams.

I really do not care about Real game because it will definitely be easy, they take their low level opponents lightly because they should be taken lightly, that is just how it is. So at the end of the day, that game will be as boring as it gets.

The real thing will be Barcelona game, not that I expect them to change everything 180 degrees in a span of single game, but Xavi was a big deal when he came in and it made the news for a while now, let's see if the play style is any different, that is the important part. I am not saying that even if they play differently they may be good or bad, it could be anything silly and wild as long as it is different. If it is different and shows promise then I would be excited about it.

Sevilla are maintaining their marvelous performance in the league. Their impressive form has helped them be at top places after leaving twelve weeks behind. There is only a one-point difference with the leader. And taking their recent form into account, they can crush their next target also. By saying the next target, I mean Alaves. Alaves are one of the teams which got very bad results on the first weeks. But these days, they started recovering. They haven't been losing for 4 weeks and managed to win 3 of those games. Sevilla might have some problems but I still believe in them to win this.

Sevilla is the most favorite because is their home match. And I don't think Alaves can draw or win against Sevilla in an away match. Is surely a winning match for Sevilla. Although, we shouldn't underrate Alaves, as this is Football and anything can happen. While Sevilla performance lately is indeed great, and they don't have to lose focus, they should avoid losing points. Because Sevilla are likely to top the League anything sooner. The current leader of La Liga, Real Sociedad next match will be quiet tough for them to win, and might end up drawing the game.

Alaves shouldn't be underrated, Sevilla might be extremely on form this season and are one step below the top table but we should also consider Alaves is beginning to recover from their losses and will give in their very best to see the win against Sevilla and even if the don't it wouldn't be easy for Sevilla either. At this point in Spanish league surprises  will spring up

Hopefully international break will be over soon so we can see some nice La Liga football again. There will be a good Barcelona derby this Saturday, Barcelona will play with Espanyol at home. I expect FC Barcelona to show no mercy to their opponent and finally make a big explosion this time. They shouldn't be in ninth place, they desperately need three points series so this game would be a good start. Dramatic Celta Vigo draw after 3-0 lead should be forgotten as soon as possible. I think they don't let something like that happen again this season. No win in four matches in a row, this is not the Barcelona we know. Let's see some fresh start from them after the break.

Barcelona have a home match against Espanyol on the horizon. This is going to be the first ever match for Xavi as their manager also. There has been a big gap between the last match and the coming one because of the international break. This has been an opportunity to start getting accustomed to his job here for Xavi also. I hope to see him preparing his players really well to this match. Of course, it would be too much to ask from him to start a winning streak directly. But this is a match that they can win comfortably too. I hope they make it.

This week Barcelona will play against Espanyol, This is the match that has attracted the most attention and is eagerly awaited by Barcelona supporters.
Since we will see Xavi's debut as Barcelona coach in that match, many people want to see how Barcelona play. Actually we can't judge Xavi from just
one game, but first impressions are quite important in my opinion. So Xavi has to show Barcelona can play well against Espanyol, and it's important
that Barcelona beat Espanyol. Besides Xavi being able to show his quality as a coach, the morale of Barcelona players is also increasing. After all,
Espanyol is not a difficult opponent to beat. Since Espanyol have also played inconsistently in the last few matches, so Barcelona really have to win
against Espanyol. With many strict rules applied at Barcelona when Xavi officially became coach, this has shown how serious Xavi wants to
restore Barcelona's glory, I believe Xavi can make Barcelona back to the top again.

It is not necessary to expect a new team right now with the arrival of Javi, but at least the team should shake itself up and try to show the best result. It is no secret to anyone that the improvement of the teams' performance for several matches with the arrival of a new coach is usually associated with the desire of the players to show their best side in front of the new coach and there is no reason to believe that Barcelona is an exception to the rule. But already the following matches are beginning to give some idea of the work of the new coaching staff. Therefore, in the next match with Espanyol, Barcelona should definitely score points, despite the status of the match as a derby.

I think they still respect their opponents and send a team capable of winning.

The strategy to not send your best squad on the pitch against teams on the bottom half to rest key players is understandable and every big team does that BUT taking them lightly is a completely different matter. That's how those in title contention would end up in second and below.

To be honest la liga started to being really boring after what happened to Barcelona, no one can enjoy la liga while Barcelona can't escape their financial problems, also messi depart was a heavy lose for all la liga fans

This is a match that Barcelona can win with ease,but Espanyol is a team that troubles  them so much,so they will still find it difficult to win this one,especially now that they are not inform.
Barcelona this season have been struggling very hard to find form,but it's not coming,so they have to go all the way to higher a new coach in Xavi.
Xavi was a very great player in his days at FC Barcelona,where he played alongside Iniester.They formed the best midfield partners in Europe during their days,but let's see how he will be able to transform that into his coaching.

That's a commonplace alibi, indeed Real Madrid will not take their opponents lightly. Because every opponent they face must be seen from their development throughout the season. The coach also feels that against Granada is not a big threat. However, if they cannot play optimally, the opposing team will create a gap by taking advantage of their careless situation.

Taking the opponent lightly is a big mistake from a big team, especially if the team they are facing is a relatively smaller team than them, many events that have happened so far in football when a weak team suddenly can surprise a big team and even they are often able to treat the big team with a crushing defeat score, and this is what madrid should avoid, the provocation that may be made by madrid against his opponent will actually make the opponent more optimistic, and maybe later they will repay the mockery with a surprise in the match.

Reflecting on the teams that often do this, Real Madrid needs to think that whoever the opponent is is still an opponent who has a different strategy for every match. However, looking at the characteristics of RM, we know that as much as possible, taking 2 points is enough to move up to the next standings, shifting Real Sociedad, which currently has 28 from Real Madrid, which only has 27 points. At least they can just steal points is up for grabs.

Right now Real Madrid and Sevilla have a one goal difference with Real Sociedad to be able to occupy the top position of the La Liga standings, and the match against Granada is a match that must be considered final by Real Madrid if they want to shift Real Sociedad position in the later.
BTW, after enjoying the la Liga football competition for a long time, I can finally see if this season there are other clubs besides Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid that are able to compete at the top of the La Liga standings .

I am looking forward to seeing the Barcelona vs Espanyol match. I am not so much concerned with the outcome, what I am interested to know is Barcelona's style of play. I want to see if Xavi will return the tiki-taka pattern of play and always dominating their opponents in possessions and passing accuracy.
Remember that the little time given Xavi in the name of international break, all his players were not present as some travelled aswell.
Just that his first match is not too strong. Everyone is expecting a win

Yep, Madrid and Sevilla points the same. Sociedad are top with more games and a gap of 1 point. Madrid against Granada looks like Madrid will win. Then Sevilla will play Alaves. Alaves are slightly better than Granada. But at least they seem to be winning. Real Sociedad will play Valencia. It looks like it's a pretty tough opponent for Sociedad, but look at their performance should be able to win.

As we have already seen this season more than once, even matches with obvious underdogs can bring unexpected results, but even if Real win easily, it is always nice to see a few goals.
As for the game of Barcelona, one should not expect a sharp change in the game concept (given that Xavi is a carrier and a vivid representative of the old game concept of Barcelona), but maybe the change of coach will stir up the team and increase the dedication of the players, at least for a while.

Yea me too,I want to see how Xavi Hernandez does his thing, am guessing is going to be like a pep guadiola style,my pain here is that he does not have lots of good players like the Barca team he played for,but I think and hope that he we do well because one thing am sure is he is going to be very committed and passionate about his job because as a player he is very very committed and show lot of passion when he plays.

[hd49728]

It's true that Xavi has always been predicted to be the best coach in Barcelona, but this all takes a long process and also strong cooperation with his team, so don't put too much pressure on him considering this is Xavi's first time managing a big club Barcelona even if he is a legend but managing it will be very different when he is still playing.

I don't think the assumption that Xavi is the best coach in Barcelona is correct. He can be the best option for Barcelona in this period. He has love and understanding about the club's tradition but it does not guarantee that he will succeed there so are Barcelona.  A mountain of challenge is waiting for Xavi in Barcelona. He is a smart and creative midfielder but a career of a player and a coach are different.

All cooperation was successfully implemented and the players became more solid and stronger that was the main shield that later Xavi could strengthen again with that tactical power and here Barcelona can face it by being able to improve to be from the top 10 zone and at least enter the top 5.

Players must tighten their hands to help the club and work professionally and proactively with Xavi and together to go through this difficult time.

Top 5 is not what they aim at, it is top 4 at least. They need income from Champions League to gradually resolve their financial crisis. If they fail to participate in Champions League, they will fall into a worse financial crisis.

In the pool in Superbru I have personally placed a win for Barcelona, I only remain optimistic for Barcelona to get another win. In fact, I'm not so sure Xavi will give positive results quickly, but if in fact Xavi actually delivers the results as expected, then of course there will be a lot of praise for Xavi for his success. Now that the club legend is now the coach, I just don't want anything bad to happen to the legend and hopefully Xavi can work as expected.

The upcoming game for Barcelona is going to be against Espanyol. And I've no doubt that Xavi is really looking forward to having his first game as the Barcelona manager. He is a legend of this team already and it should be really meaningful for him to be the manager of his old team. I'm pretty sure that he wants to achieve new successes with Barcelona in the future. But he needs to be patient as they will need time to recover. And the Espanyol game is looking like a good place to start for it. I'm believing that Barcelona will destroy them.

[borovichok]

Barca Will win convincely in this game against espanyol but is a tricky one because is a derby and Barca is playing for a new coach that's not coach an European club before,but I can still see the ambitious mind from the man xavi, he  we be so glad to inherit De Jong and dembelle  I think he will love them especially de Jong. I wish him luck
