La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[terrorJR]

Sevilla might has a chance to win the title this season although it isn't that high since they aren't very stable and losing points easily. In their last 5 games they missed 8 points out of 15.. Real Madrid in the other side seems serious about getting the title. Considering the high risk of getting kicked from CL, I think getting La Liga will be their most wanted objective!

I think that for most teams in the top 4 championships, the national championship is always more important than the Champions League, which comes as a bonus. Especially for Real Madrid who have won the Champions League more often than La Liga in recent years. By the way, I do not think that their Champions League business is bad - nothing has been decided yet, and since the decisive match will be in Madrid, everything is in the hands of Real Madrid.

Even so, sometimes there are some clubs that are ambitious because it is very rare in a league that someone gets a Treble Winner and this can be used as the biggest achievement.
Even though La Liga is more important, I think UCL is just as important, especially when the money you get is quite large while participating there.
As for Real Madrid itself, I think they will still fight it out now, Aggregate is still 1 goal and they can still turn things around even if it's difficult

Barcelona - Athletic Bilbao is going to be a really competitive match I think. Not only Barcelona but also Athletic Bilbao are having a great period of time these days. Maybe the match is in Camp Nou and Barcelona will want to have the match under control mostly too. But they should be careful against dangerous attacks by their opponent. Athletic Bilbao are a good team when it comes to resisting bigger opponents. They would take advantage of any kind of mistakes here. Hence I expect Barcelona not to give much chance to them and finish them off.

Barcelona has been performing well enough in recent days, so this match is definitely Barcelona's favorite. Moreover, Barcelona's performance in the first leg against Napoli was much better than Napoli. If Barcelona is able to perform like in the first match, they will definitely win this match. However, this is Napoli's home match. So Napoli don't want to be in this match. The match will definitely be competitive.

Barcelona was able to perform well in the first leg even though the result was a draw. But in the second leg I think they will fail because Napoli are a strong team so far in Serie A. I don't think Napoli will lose to Barcelona based on the history of meeting the two in different competitions, but because Barcelona also want to qualify for the next round then everything is possible. can still happen in this game.

I was expecting this to be the most exciting match of the day to watch and now I have seen the lineup of both available for this match. Barcelona and Napoli need wins to qualify, so it must be interesting. There is no favorite in my opinion because Barcelona and Napoli both have 2x45 minute to win this match.

It looks like there is a rival for Benzema in the La Liga from now on.    I mean that Aubameyang made a hat-trick in their last league game against Valencia. And I definitely think that we will see him starting to put on a good show in time. He was already a great striker especially while he was playing for Dortmund. Maybe we could see him returning to those days. And this would mean that he would be a rival for Benzema in the top scorers table. But this wouldn't happen this season of course. Maybe the next one if we still see both of them here.

Don't say that until you know how many goals Benzema has scored so far in La Liga. Aubameyang has scored just 3 goals so far while scoring his first Laliga hattrick, while Bezema has scored 18 so far. But there is the opposite possibility if Aubameyang can consistently score 2 goals per game to become the top scorer as well as become a competitor for Benzema this season but in the end I think it is very difficult to be true.

Napoli vs Barcelona is live now, I don't know what Aubemeyang can do in this match. If he can score goals then I think he has adapted well to Barcelona's game and strategy.

I think that another huge match on next week is Sevilla - Betis. This is a match between the second and third teams in the current standings. Betis are a more surprising team this season as they didn't have a season like this one in the previous years. They are a very solid team now and undoubtedly they will have a great match against Sevilla too. Bookmakers are thinking that Sevilla are still quite close to win this one. But I don't share the same opinion with them. I wouldn't bet on any side here but I think Betis won't lose this match.

Barcelona's temporary victory over Napoli is currently quite going well. The first half is still long and there is still the possibility of goals being created from both sides. Seeing the game, the two of them gave each other their attacks. Although Lorenzo managed to reduce the position of the penalty kick. Barcelona did a good game, Auba and Ferran Torres still haven't added a goal, maybe in the second half, they will contribute.

1-3 now for Barcelona's lead at half-time. Barcelona led by 1-3 in the first half because they played quite well and I really saw Napoli quite bad in defence.

It looks like Barcelona will win this game more easily than we thought. They had plenty of chances to score but Aubameyang and Ferran couldn't maximize their chances. Barcelona is really dangerous right now. and I think they can still score again in the second half and I don't think there is a change in strategy in the second half.

I'm waiting for this match because it could be the deciding factor for the title race. Because if Sevilla loses this match, I think it will be very difficult to stem Real Madrid's points.
Madrid are currently leading by 6 points and they will be relatively favored this week as they will only face Rayo Vallecano who still haven't been able to get back to their good form and are on a losing streak now

Betis are indeed one of the most surprising teams this season, because Betis managed to be in third place until round 25. The possibility of Betis playing
in the Champions League next season is very large, this is a very extraordinary achievement for Betis. This week Betis will face Sevilla, this is indeed
the big match this week that we should not miss. Since both Betis and Sevilla will be looking for a win, Sevilla need to catch up on the points that
Real Madrid have, So Sevilla can't lose to Betis. While Betis want to stay away from Barcelona who is in 4th position. Honestly, I have a hard time predicting
the Sevilla vs Betis match, I agree with you, Betis will not lose against Sevilla, so it's likely the game will end in a draw. Moreover, Sevilla has indeed
in the last 5 matches, 4 matches ended in a draw. So it is quite possible that Sevilla face Betis will end in a draw as well.

Unique both clubs have the same winning record this season, which is 14 from 25 matches. The difference is a draw and a loss. Meanwhile Yes the bookmaker gives odds for Sevilla on average between 2.00 while for Betis between 3.50, which is understandable the bookmaker is right to favor Sevilla this match maybe with the home advantage and the league position. Other information Sevilla managed to rest players longer than Betis who today also play in other competitions without any major injuries.

Barcelona's temporary victory over Napoli is currently quite going well. The first half is still long and there is still the possibility of goals being created from both sides.

Sorry, Barcelona vs Napoli today in the European league, I wonder this match counts points for this Spanish La Liga?

Of course, Sevilla must beat Betis in the derby if they want to continue to claim the championship title. Another question is that there is also a struggle for second place and Betis' win will reduce the gap from Sevilla to only two points. Or vice versa, with their win, Sevilla will secure their second place and increase their advantage to a comfortable eight points. In general, there is a lot at stake, so I wouldn't be surprised if the teams don't take too much risk and are quite willing to draw, which will preserve the status quo. But this result may be in the hands of Real Madrid, which will have a chance to further increase its advantage. But still, a derby is a derby and there are factors from the field of psychology.

I could say Betis have been quite lucky this season, because big teams like Barcelona and Atletico have experienced a decline in performance.
But to reach the 3rd position in La Liga is not enough by luck, must be accompanied by hard work and an effective strategy. We can see in
the last 5 matches Betis won 4 wins and suffered only one defeat. This has proven that Betis plays very consistently, hopefully Betis performance
can continue to be consistent until the end of the season. So Betis can play in the Champions League next season, what amazed me about Betis is
that the majority of players they have are mediocre, but overall they managed to achieve positive results.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is one of the most profitable and logical transfers for Barcelona I think. Because they have signed him on a free agent and I still can't believe how Arsenal let him go like this. I mean that they could have made some money by demanding a transfer fee for him. But they just released him by terminating his contract. And now, he will perform superbly at Barcelona in my opinion. He has already started doing so by his fourth match with the team as he made a hat-trick. I'll be expecting him to play solid in the remaining time of the season.

Aubameyang's wages were too much to pay two players salary at the club,and he wasn't performing well anymore,so the coach made the right decision on letting him go to Barcelona to provide chances for the young strikers that are coming up.The likes of Martinelli will have chances to play and improve on their performances,and secondly,Arteta had a vision of using only young players to be make things happen at the club,and Aubameyang's age is too much for the age he wants at the club.
I know he will do well at Barca,but Arsenal is now a team for young and vibrant boys,and they are doing extremely well.

Real Betis is still not safe on 3rd position standing right now because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have chance get this position but depending how long Real Betis keep try consistent performance, now they have qualify on next round UEFA Europe League and I think have bigger motivation on La Liga will be extended because this week have to fight with Sevilla, I hope this match could be success for Real Betis because left many points from Barcelona and other chance Madrid will lead as first standing position will have different 9 points from Sevilla.

Yes Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are getting closer to Real Betis. I'm not sure that Real Betis will be able to survive under the threat of these two teams. I think in the end they will be kicked out by them from 3rd place. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are increasingly showing positive changes. Yes Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will return to where they belong.

Real Betis have been one of the club I admire this season. Their performance are quite impressive, and they have been in the top 4 for quite a long time. Although, I understand that Barcelona might catch up with them, but it won't be easy for either Barcelona or Atletico Madrid to overtake them on the standings. However, this also depends mainly on how Betis plays in their next match. Because, Currently they are 4 points ahead of Barcelona and probably need more points to maintain the position.

Releasing Aubameyang for free is a loss for Arsenal. But the Arsenal club at least managed to save on salary expenditures for players who had already omitted Mikel Arteta from the Arsenal squad. Aubameyang disciplinary case made Mikel Arteta angry and immediately removed Aubameyang from team captaincy.
It is known that Aubameyang salary at Arsenal is very high, freezing Aubameyang in the team is a loss for Arsenal, releasing Aubameyang to Barcelona could save Arsenal around 25 million pounds. While Barcelona were lucky enough because they did not have to spend any money to get the signature of Aubameyang.

Real Sociedad has to make an important decision now. They will target any one league. Maybe they will try to qualify for the Champions League by playing well in La Liga, or they will focus on Europa League now. If they try to do well in the Europa League, I think they will be able to reach the semi-finals or the final. They have some good players with whom they can often play well against big teams. But if Real Sociedad want to play well in both La Liga and Europa League, they will not be able to do either. Their performance will become more unstable.

I believe they have not enough for neither as well. Like they can't be good at europa league, but they also do not have enough power to actually end up with something in the league neither. So, they will get eliminated from europa, and then they will finish top 10 in the league but not anywhere near the top 4 level.

At the very best case could be, 5th but that will probably not happen neither, somewhere between 6-8th levels will be their levels. If that doesn't happen then I wouldn't be shocked but I would be surprised. I feel like they are going to end up with a great run eventually but it is not now and they will get a lot worse before that and it will not be enough as well.
