La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Prince Malik]

Hardly anyone seriously perceived Sevilla as a real rival of Real - they do not have enough strength to go through the entire season exactly. The only potential competitor was Atlético, but it unexpectedly fell into the middle of the standings in just a few matches and ended up next to Barcelona.
As for the odds for Barcelona, they have really grown fantastically, the problem is that Barcelona is playing according to these odds.

This won't be real Madrid great season at all but a season where Sevilla is looking as beginning there closest rival then you can understand the situation of Barcelona and Atletico madrid, I think it's been a poor laliga season thiay affect view finances the league usually gets when most recently Barcelona had Messi, I don't have interest to watch any laliga match not even if it's the el-classico. Barcelona and Atletico should do their utmost best gi be amongst the top five teams.

I share your opinion and i believe that la liga already lost its value and the majority of its fans are not really interested even by the big matches like al classico, im not one of la liga fans but i wish it will recover some of its fun and Enthusiasm soon

The closest one are indeed sevilla

and i believe everyone in la liga supported them to keep closing in real madrid especially barcelona fans who hopeless this season lol.
it's something to enjoy talking barcelona struggle though . im not saying that i go against them, i just do love how the betting odds got skyhigh on barcelona this season and i do really love it.

I also don't believe Sevilla can compete with Real Madrid for the La Liga trophy this season. Because it will be difficult for Sevilla to play consistently
until the end of the season, even I predict Sevilla will start dropping points in the next few games. Even now Sevilla managed to move up to
second position, because Atlético as Real Madrid's strongest competitor, they performance is declining. Regarding Barcelona they are still in
the process of adapting to their new coach, maybe Barcelona's realistic target this season is to be in the top 4, in order to play in the Champions
League next season. And I believe Barcelona at the end of the season can finish in the top 4.

You may be correct. Sevilla attackers aren't enough to compete for the title, it is the main problem of this team. They have strong defenders but do not look quite strong in the attacking line. Competing for the title needs a proper squad, they must be strong in defense, midfield, and attacking. I don't see it on Sevilla squad this time, but maybe they will buy some good attackers in the next transfer window.

But, they will be playing the Europe League, and their focus should be on how to win, because if they wins, it will definitely result to them getting a free ticket to the Champion League group stage next season.

I've thought of that as well but they are closer for a top 3 or 4 finish in La Liga than winning the Europa League since there are only five points that separates them as of now. It would be a great achievement if they could get both I do not think they have the squad to play in both leagues competitively.

Xavi is gradually building the team up,and with time,they will have players that will be surplus enough to play in almost all the competition.
He is making use of young boys just as Mikel Arteta is doing at Arsenal,and I so much believe in the work he is doing at Barcelona right now.The boys all have great potentials of being great players in the nearest future.

Real Madrid is still the main favorite to win La Liga this season, considering they have a squad with a lot of great players and their financial condition is much better than Sevilla.

Sevilla might not be a tough rival for Real Madrid but it is undeniable that they can be dark horses in this season. Sevilla is already on the title race and they are still in shape to fight for the title. Maybe what they need to do is strengthen the squad and keep trying to play consistently.

Xavi coming to Barcelona with bad condition financial where on January window transfer he only only has option get Ferran Torres as new player, he has bigger decision before get agreement with Barcelona but at the end he still not get new player in window transfer. I think he has not any expectation with Barcelona can get trophy in this years how ever Champion league miss out from Barcelona after failed in group stage and now just La Liga as chance to get trophy but looks hard with left many points from Real Madrid. Beside financial crisis Barcelona will hard to get competitive with Madrid or Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.

[ILuckyGuyI]

People (including me) started getting curious about which players Barcelona will go after in this January transfer window. I believe that their priority should be signing a solid striker. Because Aguero has retired and there is no very strong striker in the team now. Depay is not a natural striker and Braithwaite has been injured for a very long time. Even if he bounces back soon, they can't make do with only him in the end. It looks like the biggest target is Aubameyang now. He would make a very good contribution to the team so I hope that they can end this deal successfully.

Probably it is not Real's problem that the main competitors are experiencing a crisis. How strong Real Madrid is this season we will see from the Champions League. As for El Classico, I like to watch it in any form, not just when Ronaldo and Messi are playing. This is a historical confrontation and it is interesting regardless of the names.

[xzone]

It's a tough year for Barcelona. The team hasn't gotten used to each other yet and they don't have good players like before. I don't think they can do much in the next transfer window. First of all, the financial situation of the team needs to be improved.
It will be a long journey with Xavi, the goal of the team for a year or two will not be to become the leader of the league. They can go back to the good old days after a few years, they know it's not an easy process

There are several names that continue to be associated with barcelona at the moment, aubameyang, arthur carbal, edisson cavani and also ferran torres which they have managed to get now, with barcelona current financial condition which is quite bad, it looks like barcelona will not be targeting great young players who It's expensive, but in fact, some of the names that are rumored to continue to be Barcelona main targets this season are players who have cheap prices, marginalized from their club and players who are quite old and experienced, but one name that is quite interesting for me is Arthur Carbal, who is a young and quite great player with Basel, with his sharpness in scoring goals will certainly be able to greatly help Barcelona in improving their performance this season, besides the cheap price of Arthur Carbal will certainly not be too burdensome for Barcelona finances at this time.

[Ebede]

Barcelona should get Edison Cavani as the replacement for Kun Aguero.
Aubameyang is a good option,but has lost his touch,has good pace which could be very vital against defense.
Xavi will get the team in a good shape, I am certain Barcelona will be in the first four soon.
An upgrade in the defense would do.

Even though Barcelona is still not good enough but I personally am still a little sure Barcelona will be able to recover better if not in the near future, maybe for the next seasons. Getting the title is not something easy, but with Barcelona able to compete again in the top four then of course it is something good progress as well.

[Newlifebtc]

Much eyes on Barcelona and Xavi Hernandez, failing to realize he just came in and ain't no magician.
Take a good look at Athletico Madrid who should be dominating the La liga, they have failed woefully,game's after game's.
They should try to keep up else Barcelona will come ahead of them in a short time.
They must have lost drive.

[Congyang]

Atletico Madrid have been continually disappointing me due to an unknown reason. Something has changed about them and they started losing so many times. They are on a losing streak of four games now which is very alarming. I wonder if there is some kind of in-team problem that they still haven't managed to solve. Because normally, I haven't seen Simeone's Atletico Madrid like this for a very long time.

This season we don't find athletico madrid like we did last season, honestly I don't expect that last season's champions lose their form this season and slowly they continue to drop points from real madrid who are at the top right now,  I think with the return of griezman to the squad will make Atletico stronger but this season they are out of the championship competition too soon.

now they have lost 4 times in a row and this has knocked them out of the top 4 position now.
their form these past few weeks has been very poor and this is very unfortunate for them.
After the injury, Suarez has not shown a good performance again and this makes their supply of goals increasingly low.
I feel like Simone should start racking her brains now so that the losing streak doesn't last too long.
now is a break for the players, they have to make good use of this

Suarez is not able to play well, at the same time none of the attacking players of the team can score. They have lost the last 4 matches, they have conceded 8 goals in these 4 matches. On the other hand, they managed to score only 3 goals. They have lost to weaker teams Mallorca and Granada. Which was unexpected. As the offensive line deteriorated, so did the defensive performance. If the defensive players were experienced then they might not have lost, they could have shared the points.

Atlético are currently in a fairly difficult transition period,
Their current striker is less striking when compared to last season.
On the other hand, Suarez has not been able to find his best game until now.
This vacation is long enough and good enough for them to reflect and make a plan to make their game more alive later.

to pursue points to the top 4 standings this season is still possible for Barca. indeed it will require a harder performance because the teams above Barca at the moment are not bad either.
Adjustments from the coaching team and players of course take time to be able to run a good strategy in every match. and Barca hasn't got that. current coaching at Barca must immediately find the best ingredients to revive the spirit of the game Barca.

One of the reasons Sevilla can be in second place right now, is because Sevilla's defense is very strong. Sevilla is the team that has conceded the fewest
goals so far, Sevilla's defense is very difficult to pass. Unfortunately Sevilla's front line is less productive, therefore the difference in the number of goals
created by Real Madrid and Sevilla is quite far. If Sevilla want to win the La Liga trophy and compete with Real Madrid, Sevilla must improve their front line,
to be even more productive. Because to be able to win many matches, it is not enough to keep the defense from conceding, but they have to be able to score
a lot of goals too. Hopefully this January transfer window Sevilla can buy a good striker, in order to help Sevilla win many victories, then Sevilla can
become serious competitors for Real Madrid.

Barcelona was in a terrible state before tht arrival of Xavi. And he is just trying his possible best to put Barca back on track. But, what people don't understand is that this will take some time. Atletico Madrid performance are poor, they lost all their last 4 matches, and one of the problem Atletico seems to have is are defense. However, If Barcelona play their next matches without losing, they will surely take over Atletico Madrid's place.

Next week matchday 19 where all team playing on 2nd January I think Barcelona have great chance against with Mallorca and Atletico Madrid faced with under dog team Rayo Vallecano. Exactly Barcelona should easy get three points although playing as away on Mallorca but still not consistent performance show by Barcelona right now give us little doubt will this team back top performance and pass on champion standing position? although left many match we can't have bigger expectation with Barcelona become success team with financial crisis.

Judging by the fact that a few months ago Barcelona refused to refinance its debt, they have some financial considerations (one can assume that they are positive). My high hopes are connected with the fact that the start of the Super League will be announced, and in this case, Barcelona will very quickly solve all its financial problems.

Impossible super league get allowed from UEFA where most hate competition, I think all club need get much money and waiting how UEFA transparent about how much money getting from advertisement and broadcast. The UEFA afraid if super league really happen and have other side advertisement will pay higher than club getting from Champion league, not only Barcelona but also all club will get much benefit if super league allowed and have allocation much money for team participants where get impact with covid 19 and they faced financial crisis.
