La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[wildan88]

Barcelona are going to play against Valencia away this weekend. And this is one of the difficult games for them actually. Because Valencia have been playing really decently in their home stadium so far in the La Liga. They could annoy Barcelona really much too. But Barcelona's performance in the recent times makes me hopeful about them to win this game anyway. They have improved it a lot compared to the start of the season. Maybe it is going to be really tough but they can still win this game by at least one goal. And I expect them to win by 2-1.

The game will be tough indeed. Valencia have been playing very defensively of recently and Barcelona are not been stable in their performance,  so the game will be difficult for one to think who the winner will be. Barcelona may still have the chance to perform well more better than valencia.

Barcelona has been doing it in league decent the last period. Won a few times and lost little to nothing. It is now important to continue on the way up, the championship Yes that will be a very difficult story if not impossible. But they can try to take over second place. Then you still have a successful season with an acceptable distance from Real Madrid, assuming that they become champions and no longer lose points against bad teams. That will also be Xavi's goal to reach the Champions League.

Barcelona brought in some good players in the January transfer window and these players needs time before they can hit the ground running, it has never been easy in switching clubs with different tactics. They need to strengthen the defence and midfield, I think that is where the problem is coming from.

Xavi doesn't have a lot of options. They have received a loan from Goldman Sachs, but that does not mean that they can spend that money just like that. I think that money is used for many other things, such as renovating or restructuring the stadium. If they could use that money from Goldman Sachs to attract players you would have a world team. I thought it was around 1.5 billion. This season seems to be a kind of transition season to a good team. Sevilla is also having a decent  season. As far as I'm concerned, they belong together with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League at home Real betis and Villareal are outsiders and Villareal is also still in the Champions League.

Indeed, Xavi decision to bring in new striker look like not really need, because Barcelona currently have conceded 27 goals, its mean their defender is weak. Meanwhile, the productivity of goals is quite good with 38 goals in La Liga, or more than the 2nd position, Sevilla with 36 goals. However, Xavi ambition is to sharpen up the front line to create more goals for the win. If, Barcelona can be in 2nd position at the end of the season, then it can be said transfer in January is success. I think Xavi will start buying defenders on summer transfer window next season.

Their defense have never been good and their defenders have attacking favorite as well as have not too good defense ability. In addition, tactics and the whole system of Barcelona don't help their defense too much. It is how it happens in the club for years and Xavi in golden team of Barcelona knows that. Now, their quality decreases so weakness in their defense is more easily to be compromised.
Xavi brings Traore, Torres and Aubameyang to the club from the winter transfer. By now, Traore and Torres play well and only Aubameyang need more time to prove that he deserves to be there.

If you look at the current squad of Barcelona and the situation that they are in I think it is quite understandable why the defense is not the best.
They had to make some attacking transfer because without goals you cannot win a match of football. Probably if we give the manager more time I think he will be able to bring some good defenders next season and the defense will look better at that time.

There is a match today in the league but it might not be followed much I guess.  Elche are hosting Vallecano tonight. Comparing the recent forms, Elche have been more promising. They lost their last match but it is normal as it was an away match against Sevilla. Vallecano started the season very good actually but their performance went down so quickly after a point. For this match, Vallecano still are favoured by bookmakers but I don't think that Elche will lose. They would get a draw in the worst case.

Few weeks back most peoples were feeling very exciting about Rayo Vallecano as they were dominating and having very good spot in Spanish League but sadly suddenly they lost their grip and now struggling very badly with 10th rank and losing streak is going long and Elche is having very good touch with having some good results and good and crucial points for staying in middle of league currently Rayo Vallecano is having very good hold in this match but still fail to take any advantage which is very poor from them, they need full 3 points for having some good and better end of this season if they lost more points than most chances they will lose their spot in top 10 and can go more down which could be worst for them with once they were very good and favourite for having European spot in connection.

Edit: Rayo Vallecano take lead through Fran Garcia in 54th minute and now having most chances for full points in this game.

The performance of their defenders is not good enough now that Pique is not young anymore and this is clearly a decline in performance on the other hand sometimes there are some mistakes made by their midfielders who sometimes fail to back up which makes their defense more fragile.
But on the other hand, this may now be resolved a little with solidity and possession of the ball which is indeed quite good. This season I personally feel it will be very good if they are in 4th or 3rd position because it might be a bit difficult for 2nd position with the presence of their three new players maybe for next season they have to improve the back and midfield because this really can't be solved this season

Barcelona's management has not learned from their past mistakes. After Messi left the team, we saw that the Barcelona forward suddenly broke down completely. There were a lot of problems for Barcelona to score. Now though with the help of Torres and young players the Barcelona forward seems to be somewhat stable.
Barcelona's defense is now of medium quality. Pique and Alaba are old enough now. Barcelona have yet to find a replacement for Pique. After Pique leaves Barcelona, ​​the defense of the Barcelona team will break down again. Barcelona management needs to be visionary.

About Suarez, Athletico Madrid should feel happy with what he brings to the club. It's not easy to win La Liga and with Suarez contribution last season, they won it.

For the last season, it was great for Suarez. His contribution makes Atletico Madrid winning the La Liga trophy, amazing performance. But this season, his contribution dropped much, I don't know what's happening with him and Atletico Madrid. The number of goals he made seems quite big dropping, maybe caused by the whole team performing badly.

Griezman can not get his best performance after many bad seasons in Barcelona. In addition, he has been getting more injuries because he becomes older and older.

After he moved to Barcelona, his performance is getting worse. Now, he came back to Atletico Madrid, and still difficult to find his best shape. It may be influenced by his play of style in Barcelona previously. Well, he is getting old as well, but 30 isn't too bad age for a striker.

Barcelona has indeed experienced many problems this season, starting with a severe financial crisis, then a change of coach. Barcelona still hasn't
found a replacement for Messi, because some of the forwards that Barcelona have bought haven't been able to replace Messi. What makes it difficult
for Barcelona to play consistently is actually the number of their main players who have been injured this season. Until Xavi had to play a lot of
young players, they were inexperienced and it was very difficult to rely only on young players to win. Followed by the shocking news of Sergio Aguero
who suddenly decided to retire due to health problems. With all the problems that Barcelona have experienced this season, actually for me Barcelona
can be in 4th position is very good. I admit that Barcelona's defense is very bad, apart from Gerard Pique, whose form is declining due to his age.
Other defenders such as Araujo and Eric Garcia have often played inconsistently, so it's no wonder Barcelona have conceded so easily this season.
But because Barcelona want to focus on improving their front line, then the January transfer window Barcelona brought in several front players first.
Hopefully at the end of this season Barcelona can bring in quality defenders, so that Barcelona's back line is more solid.

Tomorrow there will be a match between Osasuna v Atletico, I'm still not sure Atletico will win here because in the previous match Atletico were humiliated at home by Levante. Meanwhile, Osasuna are not a weak team either and they are now only seven points apart and also, although head to head clearly Atletico dominate but in the current situation and conditions it looks like Osasuna will be able to take advantage of the moment to get full points. Considering, Osasuna in the previous match won 3-0 away to beat Rayo Vallecano and also, Osasuna managed to hold Sevilla 0-0. Therefore, I believe in this match Osasuna will get points and I hope Osasuan can win the match, but if Atletico can bounce back then maybe a draw will occur.

I think that Atletico Madrid will be really motivated to win this match after the poor result in their last outing. Osasuna also played quite well this season and I think they might go for a draw in this match against Atletico Madrid but I am sure that Atletico Madrid will go for the win. Expecting some really attacking football to be played by Atletico Madrid.

In reality, this cannot give a big impact on the team. In many matches, Suarez or Griezmann cannot show their best and even cannot contribute any assist or goal. Suarez is already 35 years old, he may pass his prime time as a footballer. While Griezmann is still difficult to find his best shape after joining Barcelona previously. Well, it was a big mistake deciding to join Barcelona that has a different play of style. As the result, he decreased his performance very much both in the club and in France national team. So, how can we expect Atletico Madrid to be stronger although having these two strikers?

About Suarez, Athletico Madrid should feel happy with what he brings to the club. It's not easy to win La Liga and with Suarez contribution last season, they won it. I know it is good if Suarez can contribute for them longer but even so, compares between 1 outstanding season plus La Liga trophy and a few good seasons just be in top 4, the first one is better. It is clearly that a position in top 4 should still be their most important target in this season. Suarez likely will leave Madrid after this season and they should say thanks to him as well as wish him the best.
Griezman can not get his best performance after many bad seasons in Barcelona. In addition, he has been getting more injuries because he becomes older and older. But he still will be useful for them in next few seasons but they can not hope for outstanding contribution from Griezman.

I actually think that when Antoine Griezmann moved to Barcelona he never adapted to the playstyle with the Barcelona team and that has made a great impact on his career.
Before moving to Barcelona he looked like a beast and really hard to deal with but now I think we can say that his prime days are gone and his skills are slowly deteriorating.
But I still think he has a lot to offer to football.

[nurilham]

Yes, the competition for the La Liga trophy is for Real Madrid and Sevilla. But I think Real Madrid still has a bigger chance to win it.

Sevilla hasn't won this fir 75 years now, I think they should take this upon themselves.
If Real Madrid doesn't gets knocked out by Parisians, then I'm sure they can be winner's of the la Liga.
If they do scale through, then Sevilla will take good chances and win cause they can get fatigue in the process.

It is undeniable that at this time, Sevilla also has the opportunity to be in the first standing of this La Liga. Given, the difference in points between Sevilla and Real Madrid is only 4 points. This must have been very thought out and considered by both parties.
Maybe Real Madrid will focus more on one of them, but that doesn't mean they will just give up. They will definitely maintain that position until the end.
For the next match, Real Madrid will be against Alaves. This shouldn't be a barrier for them to win. If they lose, Sevilla's chance to take over will be even greater.

[bering]

Madrid vs Alaves this time Madrid should be more focus for this match because they have to win to secure their position on standing league and indeed on the paper Madrid were better from whole sides compare to Alaves but they should not underestimate Alaves because this team still struggle to avoid relegated zone and sometimes the teams who in the relegated zone will always giving unpredictable performance which makes it difficult for big teams

Expecting some really attacking football to be played by Atletico Madrid.

it is true that on paper Atletico Madrid is superior but looking at the last 5 matches both Atletico Madrid and Asasuna have both gotten less than optimal results. And in terms of players, it is clear that Atletico Madrid have better players than Asasuna. But I'm sure Atletico Madrid will perform optimally to chase 3 points. I think the game will end 2-1 for Atletico Madrid to win.

I have a theory where I feel that Atletico won’t be prioritising winning this match, and they’ll be resting their best player’s for the upcoming champions league match against Manchester United. Furthermore one should not underestimate Atletico as they’re not a bad side, but the key will be how focused they’re for this match, and if they let their guard down then they’ll be definitely be punished by Osasuna.

[asus09]

Madrid vs Alaves this time Madrid should be more focus for this match because they have to win to secure their position on standing league and indeed on the paper Madrid were better from whole sides compare to Alaves but they should not underestimate Alaves because this team still struggle to avoid relegated zone and sometimes the teams who in the relegated zone will always giving unpredictable performance which makes it difficult for big teams

February was a difficult month for real Madrid, from 3 matches the Whites lost 2 and drew 1, which is very sad that Real Madrid was defeated by PSG in the last 16 of the champions league, los Blancos must be able to beat Alaves tomorrow, to be able to boost performance them, because if los Blancos lose and are held to a draw by Alaves, it's possible that their performance will be affected to the champions league, because in March los Blancos will meet again with PSG in the second leg of the champions league..

Osasuna   vs   Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid must win today against Osasuna if they want to top Barcelona in the points table. Atletico Madrid is still in fifth place in the table. The problem is that their performance is much more irregular now. They have lost to teams like Levante. And a weaker team like Getafe has scored 3 goals against Atletico Madrid.
In today's match, Osasuna is a very tough opponent for Atletico. Because Atletico Madrid's performance is now irregular as well as their performance in away matches is even weaker. The match is more likely to be a draw.

If you look at the previous match where when Levante managed to beat Atletico, Simeone basically rotated players which showed that Atleico's starting eleven was not a key player. Now against Osasuna the reality is Osasuna is better than Levante and if Simeone rotates players like that again, of course Atletico will lose, so if Simeone prioritizes the UCL then of course in this match I believe Atletico will lose. But on the other hand, if Atletico make a balanced focus here as well then this match will likely draw but unfortunately, in a situation like this and the moral factor of what I mentioned earlier, Osasusna really have a chance to win here.

[CLS63]

There is a really tough game waiting for Atletico Madrid today against Osasuna away. After witnessing that they lost to Levante in a home game, I don't have much expectation from them here. Osasuna are one of the difficult opponents to be defeated in the La Liga now. They caused big difficulties to even Sevilla and I don't see this Atletico Madrid getting a win in this game. They must make some big chances in the team or game strategies otherwise there is no way they are achieving a good success this year seemingly.

Lossing against Levante wasn't expected, I'm seeing them lossing against Osasuna.
Osasuna are very stubborn to play, very compact in defending,I'm sure they'll hold them down.
Athletico Madrid faces Manchester United in the Champions League soon, I'm sure they'll loss

The problem is that their performance is much more irregular now. They have lost to teams like Levante. And a weaker team like Getafe has scored 3 goals against Atletico Madrid.
In today's match, Osasuna is a very tough opponent for Atletico. Because Atletico Madrid's performance is now irregular as well as their performance in away matches is even weaker. The match is more likely to be a draw.

Atletico Madrid is still not able to show its best performance this season, but they still have a chance to penetrate the top four standings. As a guest, Atletico must beat Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium to add to their collection of points past the points that have been collected by Barcelona. Atletico must show a charming appearance as a big team because they have a better standing than Osasuna. They must not lose any more points like when they met Levante at the Wanda Metropolitano.
