La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[poldanmig]

Real sociedad team is ahead 1 0 after 60 minutes they are playing against mallorca and they seem in control of the game they did well in the first half they had many chances and they scored a goal in the 35 minute mallorca team is showing poor performance i dont think they will score in this game and if sociedad manage to win today, this important win will help them get the sixsth position.

Right now real sociedad are temporarily in superiority with the score 0-2, today match seems to give real sociedad the easy upper hand during the game, and now match it has entered the 78th minute but real sociedad looks quite comfortable in controlling the match, even if you look at mallorca game today it looks like they don't have a chance to equalize let alone beat real sociedad, although playing at home mallorca look more depressed and they haven't been able to create a single chance so far which has really endangered the real sociedad goal.

Sociedad is a much stronger team than their opponent today, so its not a big surprise that they are 0-2 up. If you take an overall look at the competition, they lost a lot of points in the middle stage of the competition. If they play well, this is a team that can also easily finish top 4, but this season it seems not their season. I am still curious how Barcelona will perform the last 10+ matches. Ok, in theory they still can become champion, and I have no doubt that they are going to win a lot of matches. If Barcelona would catch up Sevilla, that would already be a miracle if you consider the gap between them before Christmas.

Even in terms of position, Real Sociedad is far above Mallorca who is ranked 16th, but frankly, I really hope that today Mallorca can put up a fierce fight against Real Sociedad like when they faced Bilbao a few weeks ago, but instead I saw today mallorca are completely helpless even though they are playing at home.
I think in this case it will be very difficult to equate Real Sociedad with Barcelona, ​​because after all Barcelona underwent a lot of squad changes in last January transfers, while Real Sociedad I think they didn't do much activity in improving their squad in January, so slowly they started to weaken a bit towards mid-season as it is today.

Yep. Although Xavi can improve the current squad and it is much better than the Koeman era, Xavi needs to prove us with something first. Let him bring Barcelona to the top 3 on La Liga standings at the end of this season, at least. This should be the first target of Xavi before he brings Barcelona to be more competitive in the next season. With the current Barcelona squad, we cannot expect too much for a trophy this season, the top 3 on La Liga can be a reasonable achievement for Xavi. We can compare Xavi with Pep Guardiola after Xavi managed Barcelona for several seasons and with a better squad.

xavi came back to Barcelona as a coach when the team was in a slump, I think what xavi has given to Barcelona has been very visible even though no trophy has been presented

Yes, Xavi has given a great contribution to improving the current Barcelona squad. Sure, he doesn't need to prove it with a trophy this season since it is rather impossible. We may talk about achieving a trophy in the next season after everything can be better and improved well.

I can't quote everyone so as not to make a long post.
In my opinion the problem of Real Sociedad is the lack of stability, they started out being a perfect machine and wanting to appear to play the tournament, but shortly after they collapsed, as they said above, last week they suffered a very hard defeat in the classic almost without explanation.
They should have taken advantage of the bad start and the irregularity of Barcelona and Atletico to try to reach the Champions League as Betis is doing.

[Rengga Jati]

The match was a bit boring not much effort from both teams just look at the stats too many shots off target 13:13 really bad finishing
Real Sociedad still too strong for Mallorca the factor of playing at home can't help them.

From the statistic, actually, the shots and also percentages of the match are not too far. But, Mallorca still had bad finishing so that from around 13 shots, only 1 shot on target, really not effective and maybe the defender of Real Sociedad is too strong for them
But in this case, Real Sociedad deserves the victory.

...snip.... I thin still have 40 minutes later for Athletic Bilbao to change match result but I don't see looks easy because Valencia have advantage playing as home on Mestalla Stadium. But lest waiting until final whistle which one team success lead to next stage on Copa del Rey.

Well yeah, actually during the match, Athletic Club has more ball possession, but once again, miss their chance to shoot on target. They couldn't give any score in the match even after they could control the ball more than Valencia. But on more, the final result is the goal, 1 goal scored by Valencia really broke Athletic Club stop their step to go to Final.
Let's wait for what will happen to Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano. Real Betis may have a bigger chance to win and go to the final of Copa Del Rey with the aggregate 2-1, but everything may change.

Thanks to Atletico Madrid's decent form for two weeks, they are being favoured by bookmakers in the Betis match next week. The match is an away one for Atletico Madrid and it is in four days. Betis are still one point ahead of them in the standings currently. In their last head-to-head, Atletico Madrid destroyed Betis in Wanda Metropolitano by 3-0. This time, we could have a very competitive match because Betis are in a far better condition compared to those times. Betis would like to win this match after losing to Sevilla. But I think that we will see a draw.

Now currently 26 rounds already end, and we are heading for 27th round with this currently two teams are having very good lead from their opponents Real Madrid and Sevilla most chances these teams will remain on their spots but for remaining spots now we have very tough matches few weeks back there were no hopes for Barcelona to achieve this, but now they are very strong for having third spot and with this Betis is also losing grip, and they are going out from top ranks like Real Sociedad it means we will watch Atlético Madrid at remaining spot even their form was also not good, but they are covering on good time, and they can achieve their task specially after having very bad result against Manchester United in Champions League first league match, so it must for them to stay at top four for next season.

And what exactly is wrong with the result of Atletico Madrid's first match with Manchester United? I wouldn't call a draw a good result for Atletico, but I wouldn't risk calling it a bad result either. I would call a loss in the first match a bad result, but not a draw. A draw is a normal working result for Atletico and on the basis of this, the club can quite work and build its game and tactics for the second leg. The most important problem for Atletico Madrid is the instability of the results and therefore it is not at all clear what to expect in the match with Betis, which seems to be still dangerous despite the loss to Sevilla in the derby. By the way, there is information that Lewandowski is interested in moving to Atletico.

Yes Mallorca's performance has decreased recently they lost in the last 3 matches in a row maybe this is one of the factors that causes the player's mentality down. Based on the next 2 matches Mallorca will have 2 more defeats somehow they faced this worst situation there's a chance they'll be in the relegation zone again.

[hahay]

Real Sociedad were still too good against Mallorca, as evidenced by their head to head results, Sociedad was clearly superior. But indeed, Mallorca's previous trend was not good and this defeat added to a series of defeats but at least Mallorca still promises to stay in La Liga next season. In fact with such a difference in points Mallorca is very vulnerable to being part of the relegation zone, if Mallorca can't improve their performance to get better in getting points then of course it will be very dangerous for their position.

The 0-2 loss to Sociedad didn't surprise me, because the quality of the two teams was very much different. After being eliminated from the Europa League from RB Leipzig with a 5-3 aggregate, Alguacil troops returned to focus on the La Liga competition. They immediately returned to their game form, last week they successfully beat Osasuna 1-0.  Sociedad carved a good trend again in week 26 by beating Mallorca in front of their supporters.
Being in 16th is not a great place for Mallorca, they are very close to relegation. Looking at the next 5 matches to be played, Mallorca is predicted to lose a lot of points.
Celta Vigo vs Mallorca
Mallorca vs Real Madrid
Espanyol vs Mallorca
Getafe vs Mallorca
Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid

Only Espanyol and Getafe gave Mallorca a chance to get points, the rest they will go home empty-handed.

Did you think Mallorca won against a team like Real Sociedad? I bet Sociedad's victory in this match. The Mallorca team may have performed well in a few matches, but I still don't think they are a good team. They have a lot of problems inside the team. However, Mallorca did not play badly. If their forwards were a little stronger they could have fought well with Sociedad to win this match.

Even though Mallorca are playing at home, they are having a hard time breaking the defense from Real Sociedad.
Of course in this match Real Sociedad played better and took advantage of very good opportunities to manage to lead by 1 goal in the first half and add 1 more goal in the second half. from the whole game that Real Sociedad showed I think they deserved to win because they played better than Mallorca.
Congratulations on your winning bet for choosing a win for Sociedad.

I never expected much from  mallorca due to their performance in previous matches, mallorca has not been doing very well for sometime  now. Real Sociedad dominated the game and play very well, I think this is the 5th win for Real Sociedad against Mallorca in laliga that is why I have always predicted Real Sociedad would win the game. Mallorca tried their best to make a difference in the game but their efforts wasn't good enough to stop Sociedad from winning.

Looking on standing position right now Real Mallorca on 16th and I think is not expected more can defeat Real Sociedad although have advantage as home match. With winning 0-2 for Real Sociedad have make on top posotion standing most competitive right now, Real Sociedad have 44 points and left one points only from Athletico Madrid on 5th standing position. I think Real Sociedad have back to top performance and need to be consistent for keep stay on top positipn standing and have chance qualify on top four position standing at the end of leagie.

Guedes' goal in the 43rd minute dashed Athletic Bilbao's hopes of advancing to the Copa del Rey final even though Athletic Bilbao played quite well where they managed to use 64% ball possession and had 2 shots on target in contrast to what was done by Valencia where they released 3 shots on target and one goal with the final result saw athletic Bilbao out and made Valencia successfully advance to the final and will challenge the winner between Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano, where Real Betis are more favored with a 2-1 win in the first leg of the Copa semifinals.Del Rey, especially in the early hours of the morning they will play at their own base but Real Betis still have to be wary of the threat that Rayo Vallecano poses.because in football anything can happen.

This will be one of the most critical matches of the year, one of the most decisive matches for who will be 3rd in the league. That's why I think Betis and Atletico will play with all their strength. I think Betis' performance is better, they will take a big step to stay at the top of the league by getting 3 points from this match.
If they draw, the excitement will continue to increase, we cannot predict who will take the lead until the last week

Real Betis and Atletico Madrid both need a win in La Liga week 27, Atletico who is in 5th place is only one point away from Real Betis who is in 3rd place. Both teams have the same goal, they will fight to get a win so that could be ranked 4th in the table.

Atletico Madrid has just shown their best form by winning their last two games in La Liga and impressing against Manchester United in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. But Diego Simeone was made dizzy ahead of the important game against Real Betis, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Daniel Wass, Matheus Cunha, Mario Hermoso and Koke has all been ruled out due to injury, while Stefan Savic has been left out of the squad due to suspension. 

Losing several important players makes Atletico chances of returning to the top 4 even more difficult, because Real Betis is not an easy opponent to beat.

Real Betis have their best season after many years. I know about them with Joaquin about 20 years ago and now they are rising in La Liga again. Even with Joaquin, they did not touch to high rank like what they are owning temporarily in this season.

Atletico Madrid has just shown their best form by winning their last two games in La Liga and impressing against Manchester United in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.

It is not too late for them to come back and they still have due diligent opportunity to get the fourth position. But it does not mean they can achieve it while still wasting points and time. Barcelona is above them and the season is coming to its final day so Athletico Madrid have to hurry up.

It is one of big matches for both clubs which will decide their positions in this season. With Betis, the third position will help them to have a direct ticket in Champions League. They won't have to participate in pre-qualification match which is risky. Barcelona can take over the third position if Betis gives them chance. Athletico Madrid as said have to try so hard to catch Barcelona.

I think this went as planned for Real Sociedad, who i thought deserved that win against a struggling Mallorca who sit 5 points above the relegation zone... Should they keep winning these guys should easily leap frog to third which is a champions league slot which is going to be highly competitive this time around.

The match between Betis and Atlético Madrid will be an interesting one. For bookmakers to favour Atlético Madrid over Betis is a trap and confusion to make people lose money. Betis form is not so poor and every club has to sit up because the league is ending. Even ATM cannot be said to be very decent. The match between the 3rd place and the 5th place will be tough because any mistake from any team will see Barcelona balancing very well in the top 4.
Barcelona I think has a catch up match, so that match is very important for Betis and I know they cannot go home with 0 point.

[CLS63]

It made me really surprised to witness that Valencia got past Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey as they won by 1-0 in a home game. I really didn't expect this game to end like this. I thought that Athletic Bilbao would play better than their opponent and win this game one way or another. But they got another hit in a cup game by Valencia this time after Real Madrid did the same in the Super Cup. And maybe the embarrassing loss against Barcelona affected them psychologically and caused them to struggle a lot here. Valencia are going to find out today what team will be their opponent in the final stage.

[Falconer]

Let's be honest. Compare Seville's recent form to Barcelona's. Whom do you think has a higher chance of winning the match?

Honestly, Barcelona is more likely to win this match than Sevilla if the performance of the last 8 matches is a comparison. Barcelona have won their last 5/8 matches in three different competitions while Sevilla have won only 3/8 of their last matches in two different competitions. Barcelona have a good track record so far where they are unbeaten for 7 matches in a row, two of which ended in a draw. Barcelona have improved and to be honest they are now far more favorites than Sevilla.

This week Sevilla will meet Deportivo Alaves and here they are again the favorites to win after the previous week's 2-1 win at Real Betis. Barcelona themselves will travel to Elche before hosting Galatasaray at Camp Nou for the first leg of the Europa League. Barcelona and Sevilla will be favorites to get 3 points this week, so there should be no significant changes in the standings this week.
