La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Falconer]

So far Xavi does good management and Barcelona have been improving their performance with Xavi. In long run, I don't imagine too much success from Xavi and Barcelona. I wish them to get a position which is high enough in La Liga in order to book a ticket to Champions League. It will be great success for Xavi. If he and Barcelona can do so, next 2 or 3 seasons, we might talk about trophies again.

Xavi probably knows what he will face at Barcelona when he doesn't have many top players in his lineup. Xavi couldn't bring Barcelona back to form easily and it looks like he's accepted proposals to do so in the long term alongside many academy players. I see Xavi giving high priority to his young players to get playing time, but he still considers the Champions League every season for give a lot of experience to his players.

The team's performance seemed to improve after he arrived, but this team was still too weak against other top teams. Look how they were beaten by Bayern Munchen in the Champions League, it was a bad experience they have to change next season.

I think xavi is doing a great job but meeting Madrid in the carabao cup will be a big challenge for them,but even though they don’t win against Madrid the young Barcelona team will learn from it,I think if giving the right time we be a successful in the Barcelona history.I think Barcelona will pass Napoli in the Europa league they are growing and Barca have a better head to head than napoli

I don't know what work he's done until now that says he's great now.
Barcelona's performance still looks the same as when coached by Koeman and so far Xavi has not been able to show Barcelona's best performance at this time.
this is elcalsico in the semi final of the spanish super cup and in this match i feel pretty sure with madrid
First let go of the historical problem because with the current performance, Barcelona has lost in any way.

Real Madrid have a home game this weekend against Valencia. And Valencia might be seen at the nineth position in the standings now but they have had a really decent form recently. After a 7-week unbeaten run, they finally lost to Espanyol the last time. But I don't think that they will maintain a bad run from now on. They can make some difficulties for Real Madrid. But I still wait for Real Madrid to beat them after losing to Getafe.

That's right, Valencia is quite difficult for Real Madrid defense. Despite appearing modest, because Real Madrid did not reply from Getafe, Valencia is sure that they can also provide a game that is difficult for Real Madrid players to penetrate. Valencia is the only club that has to show more performance than Getafe and make the game more dramatic.

Valencia is not a difficult opponent for Madrid even though the last match was beaten by Getafe with a narrow 1-0 score, plus Valencia's position is currently ranked 9th, making Madrid more confident to be able to win in this match, of course it will be quite an important match. for Madrid to return to winning ways after being beaten by Getafe, it is likely that Madrid will appear more aggressive in this match to be able to score as many goals as possible.

Agree here after few years now in this season Valencia is doing some better performance but still very unpredictable as they lost last game against Espanyol even after having very early lead, and they are playing very poor in away matches recently they were good but as they have some good stay in middle of league table now suddenly losing points again could be worst for them and their chances to have some European connection for next season.

Real Madrid is also very good but in last game they lost at home against Getafe is not good signs hopefully now after break they will do again as they were doing all season and holding their grip on title very strongly for this season.

Barcelona's next fixture is going to be tough as it seems. It seems to be against Granada in an away game. Barcelona are still not that powerful now. Consequently, I'm expecting them to have a difficulty in defeating Granada. Barcelona still need to improve their effort a lot to be competitive for the La Liga title. They don't aim such thing at least for this season of course. But they should focus on winning their coming games one by one. We will see what they will do in this one.

Barcelona's might not be very powerful, but their performance have been a bit good lately. At least, they didn't lost any of their last 4 La Liga matches. Although, I don't think Barcelona will be able to fight for the La Liga title this season, they are presently 15 points behind Real Madrid on the standings. However, Granada is a tough team, and Barcelona have to play carefully in order not to lose.

Barcelona's focus should be one how to slide into the top 4, so as to secure a space in the Champion League next season.

Right now no one is taking Barcelona as serious contender for this year's title few weeks back mostly peoples were feeling they will not able to have spot in top 4 but lately with change of manager now they are currently in for this spot and most chances they will have their place in with very poor form from Betis, Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano now they can replace any team from them.

But, for title race they are already very late with 15 points gape from leader and 10 points gape from second spot Sevilla after 20 rounds is not easy to cover for any team but if they are able to stay in top 4 surely it's going to be big achievement for them in this season with the worst start of this season and early exit from Champions League.

I don’t remember a single “big” match that Barcelona won under Xavi. Or just a match in which Barcelona was really good. We will see the first real assessments of his work after the meetings with Napoli and after Barcelona will play with top teams like Real (or Atlético, although it is not yet known where the crisis is deeper - in Atlético or Barcelona).

Barcelona will play Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Super Cup, at least that will be next week. To be honest, in this event I completely chose Madrid to win because for me Barcelona is still not strong enough to compete with Madrid right now. Apart from that indeed, Xavi still can't restore the team's form completely, but with Xavi being able to win away against Villarreal with a score of 1-3 and also, getting a 1-1 draw away against Sevilla I think it's good enough for Xavi. Remember, Xavi returned to Barcelona with a very big burden and Xavi was able to bring Barcelona back to the competition at the top line in the standings, at least with this achievement Xavi has good prospects going forward.

If Vinicius is in the squad and Real does not have any other big losses, then yes, I agree that it should win easily. I think the score will be at least 1-3 in favor of Real. The match with Sevilla, I would not assess as positive for Barcelona - in the end, they played in the majority for a third of the half and could not do anything.

[sana54210]

It is not only surprising but very embarrassing if a team like Barcelona has to be eliminated by a team that is a participant in the current Spanish league fourth division, Linares, who is strengthened by local players, is actually able to trouble Barcelona game which almost played half of its main players, but fortunately they were able to comeback with won 1-2, but still the victory was a shame for barcelona who almost lost to a team that is far below their level, I don't think that the barcelona fans would be proud of today's barcelona victory that was able to comeback in that match.

To be honest that is not the lineup Barcelona normally plays with. Which means that it wasn't really shocking that the game was closer than people anticipated. I understand that the result should have been easy no matter who is playing because Barcelona is a big club and you need to beat a team in the fourth division when you are that big.

The offside decision was a weird one and I get it and I understand it but if the goal was given then I wouldn't be totally shocked neither, in that case linares would be 2-1 ahead and that could have changed the whole momentum. All in all the players showed that they are not good enough to be in Barcelona, most of those youngsters need to either get really good or they just need to find other teams for sure. This is why there are so many 18+ year olds that gets no contract and become free agents after they show no improvement.

Getafe are one of the scary teams in the La Liga recently. They are still unbeaten for six weeks if I'm not wrong. And they succeeded in beating even Real Madrid the last time. This can improve their morale at a high rate surely. And this time, they are going to have another tough match against Sevilla away. Sevilla have been a great team so far. And I think that they can end Getafe's streak in this match. Sevilla can win and continue chasing Real Madrid in the standings.

Vinicius this season has transformed into a young player with promising prospects in his performance.
I think it will be very good when he can re-strengthen Real Madrid in this match but there is no official statement about him being able to play or not because a few days ago he was still in self-isolation due to a new variant of the virus that hit club madrid.

You are correct about being unbeaten for six weeks. This record made me quickly check the table and saw them on 16. Which is not quite impressive. Or were they in the relegation zone before now? They unbeaten record is not reflecting in the table position I think.

Concerning their encounter with Sevilla. It is worthy to note that Sevilla has 100% record against them. So, I do not see Sevilla loosing the match. The worse scenario would be a draw.

I dont really like getafe this year and in the years before. They are playing really bad football and mostly defending and if they score a goal they score. They are unbeaten now and are now getting pace but i dont think this will last a long time

This season most likely yes, I agree with you, it's still weak to fight. And Javi's result doesn't seem to affect the team much, strange, maybe it takes him a long time to "rebuild" the team in a different way, but I think other coaches have handled it much faster. The results are still better though, it's noticeable, but not as much as I'd like

[CLS63]

Barcelona are facing a big problem with injuries right now. But they still have managed to climb to the fifth position in the league standings too. But their next game is really difficult which is against Granada. As it is an away game also, Barcelona can have a really hard time in this. Granada have been one of the strong home teams lately. I checked and saw that they won their last three home games. This might be a big problem for Barcelona. My prediction for this game is a draw by goals.

[kawetsriyanto]

~Real Madrid is currently chasing for Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. If Real Madrid can sign one of them (or even both), then the hole left by Vinicius can be resolved.

Sure, if Real Madrid can sign them, it can be the solution to strengthen their attacking line. Not only resolve the position left by Vinicius, but it can resolve the problem if Benzema cannot play with his best or he is injured as well. However, it won't be easy to sign Mbappe or Haaland, there are too many clubs that want to sign them. Also, their current clubs are trying to extend their contract since they still expect to see those best players on their squad. I don't know what the scenario or drama will happen to those players, let's see where they will play in the next season.  

I don't think Mbappe and Haaland can be included in the Real Madrid squad at the same time. They will now demand a lot of money.

But I think it is not impossible. Real Madrid has put some players on the transfer list, this can decrease the number of players' salaries. The possible problem that can happen is about the total number of players' salaries. While for transfer fees, I am sure Real Madrid has enough money to buy Haaland/Mbappe.

Sevilla will win mostly and Getafe will try to surprise us and make some bettors cry
I am a little perplexed about Copa Del Rey actually, Barcelona was doing badly, Villarreal kicked by a mid-table second devision team, Celta Vigo got kicked also by I don't know where that team is playing. Meanwhile ATM is doing some training with 5 goals scored until now.

Who would bet on Getafe except fans? Who would bet against Barca except non-fans?

They are the same guests at this weekend's game. Barcelona under Xavi are quite good, they will play Granada. Maybe Barcelona will win by a one-goal margin. Barcelona's last four league games have never lost. That must continue if Barca are to enter the UCL Zone for next year. Regarding Getafe they made a surprise by beating Madrid. Alguacil's troops were in high confidence. They haven't lost in the last five games. Against sevilla, they're a good team. Maybe the draw was fair enough for Getafe.

I saw that since Xavi became Barcelona coach, Barcelona's performance began to improve. Although Barcelona has not played like the Barcelona
we know, but many positive results are starting to be achieved by Barcelona. Even Barcelona is slowly starting to move up its position in La Liga
and I believe Xavi is able to make Barcelona into the top 4 this season. Moreover, Barcelona is quite active in looking for new players in
the January transfer market, proving that Barcelona is trying to strengthen its squad. Even though Granada is unbeaten in the last 5 matches,
however, Barcelona is a better team than Granada. So the chances of Barcelona winning are much bigger, I agree Barcelona will win the game
against Granada.

Getafe did manage to beat Real Madrid, and are unbeaten in the last 6 matches in La Liga. But that does not mean Getafe is a strong team,
because Getafe's current position is in 16th position close to the relegation zone. This means Getafe are a weak team, but their performance
has improved compared to the beginning of this season. So Sevilla really have to be careful against Getafe, and I believe Sevilla can beat
Getafe, moreover Sevilla's performance this season has been extraordinary. Sevilla are now in second place, and only 5 points away from
Real Madrid, so Sevilla must be very motivated to beat Getafe, in order to catch up with the points owned by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have one of the best teams in Lalliga this season with their performance weekly,they have shown how good they are,and how ready they are to win the Lalliga tittle.Despite the fact that  Athletico Madrid are trying their possible means to try to fill up the gap between them and the league leaders.
