La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[kawetsriyanto]

I'm pretty sure that you're not the only one who made a wrong call on this one. It happens hehe. Move on to the next.

Yep. Most people probably bet "Real Madrid to win the match" like me. We know Real Madrid performance was very good lately, he rarely got a lose from weaker teams. Sadly, I didn't see Benzema in the lineup at the match, this really made a big impact on Real Madrid attacking. I don't want to explain it, you can check yourself how the stats are. 

it was a big disappointment, i thought they were going to win this game, but they lost the game and the heartbreak didn't stop there, they didn't even manage to score 1 goal at least

Very very big disappointment.
I am as Real Madrid fan, feel so unsatisfied with Real Madrid performance at that match. Almost all Real Madrid main players played at that match, only Benzema who was absent. How can they only make 2 shots on target? Sure we cannot expect them to make 1 goal with too bad stats. I have no problem they cannot score a single goal, but why do they only make 2 shots on target? It is a big question for me!!

Getafe are having a really comfortable game now in the La Liga. They are hosting Levante which are one of the worst teams of the league. And they are 2-0 ahead now while we are getting near the end of the game. Enes Unal scored both goals and he is showing his best performance lately. He is a nice 24-year-old striker and he do well in the recent times. Maybe he hasn't scored many goals so far but the team weren't in a good shape either. But this win will help Getafe a lot about getting away more from the relegation area.

Statistics shows they have never conceded on a Friday night fixture.
Good win as this will see them above the relegation zone for some time now.
Good game management from the host, good composure of the defense also, a late goal was also cancelled by the referee as a result of offside.

Barcelona host Athletico Madrid at home, I wouldn't be surprised with how the game will go in favour of the catalians.
Xavi's team will sure win.

The thing that seemed to me as a far possibility happened last night and Athletic Bilbao defeated and eliminated Real Madrid. But I didn't know that Benzema wasn't going to play in this game. This is a very crucial information because he scored many of their goals so far. He is one of the very important players for the team and even the most one. And it looks like there is a possibility for him not to play against PSG in the Champions League too. This would create a big problem for them surely.

Don't you think it's a strange situation when the result of such a seemingly powerful and strong club with big ambitions like Real Madrid depends on the presence or vice versa of the absence of a single player? Moreover, Benzema himself is a fairly old player, who, with all due respect to Karim, is not Ronaldo and Messi in their best years and is also prone to injuries recently. And the match for the Spanish Cup was lost to the club that occupies the ninth place in the championship. The leader of the Spanish championship, who leads by a good margin, lost to the ninth La Liga club. By the way, Real Madrid has not been able to get to the Copa del Rey finals since 2014 and this inglorious series continued this year.

Now that Barcelona have added a couple of players to their team in the person of Aubameyang from Arsenal,I think the issue of goal scoring is a little bit solved,the only problem is that Aubameyang is of age and it seems the age is showing on him because after his first and second season at Arsenal,he started flopping which is very annoying.

[herurist]

It would be great if he could score goals in that match but the adaptation process would have a little effect here, especially since he hasn't played on the field for a long time because Arsenal have punished him and the atmosphere will be a little different at the moment.
I still feel he will have a little influence at least he will be able to mess up the Atletico defense even though he can't score goals but it's not too much of a problem

He will score goals as long as he's supplied with the balls, but I read somewhere that Xavi sometime back said that Aubameyang does not suit Barcelona's style of play. I am not sure why he signed him then. Maybe because he was coming for free?

We shall see how he copes and performs there.

On the other hand now they have too many strikers and indeed the productivity of Barcelona makes Xavi continue to look for attackers in this transfer window.
now they have brought in Torres, Adama and Auba. on the other hand they also have some strikers there like depay, braithwaite, de jong and even ansu fati.
will this be difficult too in the end? I feel it will be too tight in the current position of the barcelona front line.

Aubameyang will end up winning the Europa league competition Arsenal couldn't win some years back.
Barcelona will come back to there best performance, just as it's been in the good old days.
Xavi knows what's best for the lads and the fans, I'm proud to be a supporter of this team.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Aubameyang is a young player. He is also a good player. Time is not against him

Are you serious?
Please don't kidding me, he is already 32 years old.
Check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre-Emerick_Aubameyang

maybe 32 years is too young for him a senior player who has played almost 15 years broke into football and earned a 5 year place in dortmund ,but his performance decreased even xavi also hesitated to recruit him
btw I glimpsed adama traoré's return to barcelona is he going to play next match when vs athletico? looks like the match will be very exciting to watch

There is a lot of controversy with Aubameyang, however Arsenal knows that if he wants he can leave, but in football there is an impact that many of the big teams have, they believe that a player after 28 is considered to be very old and that he does not have the same resistance or the same performance, and although there is some logic here, there are certain players who do not adapt to it, as is the case of CR7, who has a performance well above his age.

Barcelona may solve the problem of scoring goals but they forget about improving their defense strength. Barcelona signed Aubameyang after signing Ferran Torres and Adama Traore. Why do they sign all the strikers? I mean it will be useless if their defense is weak. Xavi needs to think about how to improve their defense line as well. Just look at their defense now, I don't see any of the defenders performed well during this season.

Barcelona most serious looking for many forward position after getting three new player on forward position like Aubameyang, Ferran Torres and Traore but they was forget have bigger problem on defender position, Barcelona conceded a lot of goals with a defense that is not good Xavi should have looked for alternatives by bringing in one player who plays as a defender. Pique is not enough good as defender position for Barcelona with many mistake made by him and I think they will faced the same problem on defender position on La Liga or EUROPE League next time face with Napoli.

[hahay]

Levante was even more devastated after last night's big defeat by Getafe, even though Getafe themselves this season are still struggling in the middle and bottom of the standings. But still, despite getting opponents who are not too heavy Levante still lost by a big score without any goals being made in return. With that result, it looks like Levante will certainly be relegated, I think that's natural because there wasn't even a performance that improved after yesterday's break.

Barcelona is trying to fill the position of Aguero who cannot play anymore and Fati who will be absent for 2 months tho. Besides they are aware that from these signing they will be useless players so... But I agree that the attack line alone won't guarantee winning everything and not making the defense line better will make them suffer a lot.

This ATM vs Barcelona game is so tricky that its going to change the balances of the league in a single game. Obviously the winner could lose game and loser could win the next game and we would be back to where we are.

However, leaving that aside it would be basically Barcelona saying they are back and they are more than ready and their transfers actually meant something if they could somehow pull a win out of this game. If they can't and if ATM wins then it is basically a warning sign for Barcelona and they need to really pick it up in a way where anything other than 10+ wins for the rest of the season would be a terrible tragedy for the short period Xavi managed since if he does anything worse, he could be gone.

Is a strong match, but I think Barcelona will win this one, there transfer business was great, bringing in a world class striker like Aubameyang will prove the team incredibly and the winger they bought from Wolverhampton Adama Traore  he is very talented. Not forgetting there is still ferran torres.so I think the January transfer will improve there play

Don't be too happy just yet, Atletico Madrid is a pretty dangerous club, also Barcelona does have a slightly ideal formation, but will bring some changes. Xavi is a tenacious coach and was quite careful in providing strategies against Atletico. Aubameyang hopefully can give his first hint at Barcelona with satisfactory results.

You're right, Atletico Madrid is a dangerous club. I think they are a dangerous because of the irregularity of their performance. Often they surprise everyone with their good performance. However, we expect good performances from renowned clubs like them.
Now there is no chance to think Barcelona club is weak. Xavi is experienced enough. He is trying to bring back the good days of Barcelona. So now the match between Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona will be competitive. However, in this match I would expect the match to be a draw. Xavi does not want to lose points.

Both teams are in a similar situation as they struggle to stay in the top 4 until the end of the season. Atletico Madrid wants the win, while Barcelona also wants the same.

Barcelona may not necessarily be underdogs due to the arrival of new players, they can't score many goals and they have a weakness in defense which makes it difficult for them to defend when they have scored 1 or 2 goals. Xavi does have to be aware of any bad possibilities in this match, Atletico Madrid are a solid team and they are quite dangerous.

Atletico Madrid is a team that will beat Barcelona. In fact, every team can beat each other this year. Even teams that we can call the absolute favorites (for example, Real-Getafe) can lose in matches. There is only 1 point difference between Atletico and Barcelona. They have very close stats to each other. In the interim transfer period, Barcelona got a little better. they added Aubameyang to their squad. I think Barcelona has a better chance of winning. My main thought is that it will end in a draw.

Barcelona who is in 5th position (35 points) wants to get an additional 3 points in order to replace Atletico who are in 4th position (36 points). In addition, Barcelona wants revenge on Atletico because in the first meeting Barcelona were humiliated by a score of 0-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano. Atletico madrid won't let Barcelona wins easily, they need a win to get closer to a third place (Real Betis) and keep them away from barcelona. The Barcelona vs Atletico madrid match will be very exciting, because the two teams have different missions.

both teams have not played consistently lately. Atletico may be more productive in scoring. but Barca has the spirit to continue to bounce back from a bad season for them.
both teams are evenly matched, so betting for a draw is not something wrong. but maybe Atletico can beat Barca with a few goals.

Aubameyang trial process is being determined and efforts are being made to beat Atletico's players, who are difficult for us to predict the direction of their game when in the middle of the game, they often make moves from unexpected sectors.

Barcelona who is in 5th position (35 points) wants to get an additional 3 points in order to replace Atletico who are in 4th position (36 points). In addition, Barcelona wants revenge on Atletico because in the first meeting Barcelona were humiliated by a score of 0-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The Barcelona vs Atletico madrid match will be very exciting, because the two teams have different missions.

Being in 5th position with a difference of 1 point, of course, it would be ideal if it really can give satisfactory results, at least Xavi targets 2 points without replying already to have a seat in 4th position. This match is a betting match for both clubs by showing their respective aggressiveness. If the score draws Atletico position remains safe. If Barcelona is able to score 2 points then it becomes a provision that can be bet later in the next match.

both teams have not played consistently lately. Atletico may be more productive in scoring. but Barca has the spirit to continue to bounce back from a bad season for them.
both teams are evenly matched, so betting for a draw is not something wrong. but maybe Atletico can beat Barca with a few goals.

It will be a little different for Barcelona who is now holding a lot of hope in their forwards and Xavi agility in building a good attack. It is undeniable that Atletico Madrid is a tough opponent and it is certain that the back sector of Atletico's defense is getting tighter.

Barcelona are presently in crisis financially but I think they are coming out gradually and as for me I just feel they are heading in the right direction tactically based on the players they have brought in recently. I respect how Barcelona are taking things now, slow and steady and not mounting pressure on anyone, they are trying to build the team and start all over again and that is no bad idea to me it is just how long it will take that matters because they need to be more productive and so they can earn more and try to stabilize their current financial situation. And the players should play like they really want to and respect the name of the club because players these days are just after the money and not the glory.
