La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[onetwostep]

I agree, I think Real Betis is one of the most surprising teams of this year. If they were a little bit luckier, they could even pass Seville. It will not be easy to win a match against this team when the team has shortcomings.
Atlético Madrid's game has started to get better in the last games. If they show a good game against Betis, they will get points from this match. But I still think that the favorite team of this match will be Real Betis

Yes, I think so too, Real Betis deserve to be favorites in this match. Diego Simeone is not able to play some of the starting players due to injury, he has to look for alternatives to fill the vacant positions. Meanwhile, Real Betis look quite confident ahead of this match, because they will start the match at home.
Manuel Pellegrini's men will try to get 3 points from Atletico to secure their position, because if they lose points, their position will be shifted by Barcelona, ​​because their points distance is quite close, moreover Barcelona still has 1 game yet to be played.

Barcelona is a big threat to Real Betis. There is no difference in points between them, as you said, there is also a match they haven't played yet. With that in mind, it's very likely that Barcelona will get ahead of Betis. Betis must win this match in order to make the end of the season good, otherwise the standings will get closer together and the rankings of many teams will have changed

Barcelona game against elche this weekend will be another opportunity for Xavi Hernandez side to put more pressure on Sevilla in that second position,and the new players will see it as another opportunity to get use to their teammates on the pitch and score more goals, Aubameyang is seeing this as a blessing in disguise in his transfer to Barcelona that's why he is scoring goals as he wants.

[Distraction]

Alaves - Sevilla match is going on by a 0-0 tie for now and it is halftime. And so far, Sevilla's performance has been really inadequate. Alaves had the match under control and they had similar statistics. Sevilla must improve their game in the second half otherwise things can be really dirty for them. Alaves might even shock them by winning this match. I really don't understand how Sevilla can play this bad in an important match like this. If they lose any points here, the point difference between them and Real Madrid will go up most probably.

Not only Barcelona is a threat to Betis, but Atletico is also a serious threat to Betis. If Betis is not careful then Betis can go down to position 5
and that means Betis failed to get into the top 4. Betis must not let that happen, Betis must be able to beat Atletico to secure its position in order
to remain in the top 4. Hopefully Betis players don't lose their morale after losing to Sevilla in the previous match, Betis cannot afford to lose again
against Atletico. The Betis vs Atletico match is a very interesting big match to watch, the match is very important for both teams, therefore
the match is likely to be tight and entertaining. I predict Betis will beat Atletico, besides the match will be played at the Benito Villamarin stadium
which is home to Betis, I see Atletico this season playing badly, so Betis chances to win the game is quite large.

The second half between Alaves vs Sevilla has already started and until now I feel that Sevilla's game is still less exciting and seems to have wasted some of their good chances.
They have to win this match to keep the hope of making Real Madrid threatened but so far there has not been any significant pressure they have created to make Alavez lose this match not even a single chance that actually leads to a goal throughout this match.

[RealMalatesta]

Sevilla is constantly putting pressure on Real Madrid in the fight for the championship. In the match with Alaves they seem to be the clear favorite. The hosts are among the main candidates for relegation and I believe that they will not improve their number of points today. I find the odds of @2.00 for the victory of Sevilla very attractive.

I know that Sevilla has been awesome this year, but people see them losing their position to Barcelona at the end of the season and Barcelona finishing second as a bigger possibility than Sevilla becoming champions. I am not saying that this is what will happen, all I am saying is that there is at least a possibility of something like that happening and I wouldn't be shocked if it were to happen.

Sevilla is 9 points ahead of Barcelona with one game more in hand, meaning if Barcelona wins that game the difference is 6 points. Considering they will both Madrid, and then sevilla will face atm and bilbao, there is actually quite a big possibility that Barcelona could finish second and sevilla finish third. I see that as a bigger possibility than Sevilla beating Madrid and being at the top of the league as well, just makes no sense logically to me.

The possibility is always there, Sevilla's decline towards the end of this season is very difficult to deny and indeed I personally am quite inclined to Barcelona now who will be in 2nd position at the end of the season because now the difference is only 9 points even if they play a draw against Alavez are now 10 points away from their difference with Barcelona's advantage being 2 games remaining there. And that means if Barcelona are consistent actually only 3 or 4 games are left they can overtake Sevilla (provided Sevilla play worse than now)

[Sirait]

it's been more than 65++ minutes but Sevilla have not been able to score a goal against alaves, it looks like the hosts (alaves) have managed to hold Sevilla. according to the statistics of the match, sevilla's 'ball possession' = 69% but their attacks are not effective. even substitutions did not make the sevilla attack effective.

I also don't think what happened to Sevilla the players aren't as aggressive as usual is it that hard to beat Alaves? just watch even Alaves dominate the shots
Maybe this is the reason the bookies offer high odds for Sevilla they predict Sevilla will do nothing interesting looking forward to the final result, is the bookies prediction really accurate.

[kawetsriyanto]

so far there has not been any significant pressure they have created to make Alavez lose this match not even a single chance that actually leads to a goal throughout this match.

Agree. They don't play as expected, very less in the shot on target, only 2 so far. It is already minute 83'+, if there are no changes, they only get 1 point (draw). We know Sevilla dominates the match by taking almost 70% ball possession, but they cannot make many goals attempts, especially shot on target. Lopetegui should give the instruction to play more aggressively if they still hope for 3 points in this match.

[Spack17]

Sevilla are in a really desperate situation right now. The match is nearing to an end now and the score is still 0-0. The second half is no different than the first one and this makes things harder for Sevilla to win. I know that Sevilla would still win if they manage to get ahead first. They are surely aiming to score first and keep the score until the final whistle too. But there is still no result by this effort. And if Sevilla lose points, they are most likely to be further from their title chance. Because Real Madrid would surely defeat Real Sociedad home.

[Slow death]

Alaves 0 - 0 Sevilla

It's unbelievable that Alaves managed to get this draw, from what I see, it's enough that tomorrow Real Madrid don't waste the opportunity and win the game against sociedad so that they have an 8 point advantage over Sevilla, that would be something fantastic for Real madrid because we would be close to being champions, but if tomorrow real madrid misses the opportunity and loses or draws then they will still be at high risk of not being champions.

Sevilla are in a really desperate situation right now.

their situation is not yet hopeless because real madrid plays tomorrow and it is not known if they will win or draw or lose

[logfiles]

Believe me, I don't support either Sevilla or Barcelona. I'm talking in terms of cynical betting, in terms of money. In my opinion, in this period, Barcelona is overvalued (it is profitable to bet on its opponents) due to a series of successful results

You are speaking in the past. How much would a punter earn betting against Barca in the past 8 matches?

In my opinion, this is an emotional analysis not based on facts to say that Sevilla has no chance against Barcelona.

What emotions? I have presented the recent forms of both clubs. Isn't that fact enough?

it will still not beat Sevilla with a 100% result - some of the matches (if we could play a hundred identical matches at one moment) will end in a draw and some will be lost.

Yeah, meanwhile, Sevilla FC will be winning all of them with their current shit form 

I don't understand why the bookmakers give such odds for Sevilla to win - either they don't believe in this team so much, or they know something. Sevilla had a nasty streak with many draws, but after beating the strong Betis, I can assume that they are back in action.

Maybe they know that Sevilla is so fucked up right now more than you do

Sevilla is no longer the team from years ago that often easily manipulated these kinds of matches. And in this way Barcelona can also rejoin. Real Madrid think it's fine of course, they can get 2 points again this way. Sevilla has never been a candidate for the title. It's a miracle that they are in 2nd place.

Real Madrid wants to thank Alaves' players, a team in the relegation zone, for their services to slow Sevilla progression and to give them the opportunity to add 2 more points difference.
Meanwhile the difference between Sevilla and Barcelona is now 4 points only if we consider that Barca will win the 2 missing games.

It is not a miracle to get 2nd place, they did big efforts. You must see how this club growing fast during this season. You also cannot judge them as not the candidate for the title, in reality they are the candidate as well. It is funny if you think Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the candidates, look at their current positions on the table. I know Sevilla can't get 3 points today, but that doesn't mean they lose the chance to win the La Liga title.

The gap is now going even further and leaving 7 points seems like considering Real Madrid will definitely be favorites against Sociedad and I personally have high hopes for them now.
Btw it's not only Real Madrid now that should be grateful but the teams below also have to thank especially Betis and Barcelona even though their points are still quite far away but if this is maximized properly then there is still great hope to fight for the 2nd position later

Sevilla really had a  bad match today, only drew with Alaves even this is not a kind of superior club.
Although the ball possession of Sevilla is higher enough than Alaves, it is not a guarantee that they can beat Alaves. In fact, they have similar shots. The defensive from Alaves is not exactly very great enough, but Sevilla's attack was also not so deadly and effective that it didn't score a single goal.
Yes, now the gap between Sevilla and Real Madrid may be farther again, moreover, if Real Madrid can win in the next match.

And now, we are still waiting for the result of the match Between Barcelona and Elche that will decide whether Barcelona can pass and take over Real Betis or not based on the match.

It's a shame today that sevilla had to lose important points and made their journey to compete to be champions this season very difficult, previously sevilla only had a difference of 6 points from madrid and it was not too difficult to pursue, but the draw today  certainly it will make it difficult for sevilla if tomorrow madrid can beat sociedad and get 3 points in that the match, if madrid wins tomorrow it will certainly widen the distance between madrid and sevilla to 8 points and it can be said that it will bring madrid step closer to winning the trophy this season.

It is not a miracle to get 2nd place, they did big efforts. You must see how this club growing fast during this season. You also cannot judge them as not the candidate for the title, in reality they are the candidate as well. It is funny if you think Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the candidates, look at their current positions on the table. I know Sevilla can't get 3 points today, but that doesn't mean they lose the chance to win the La Liga title.

I also think that all is not lost for Sevilla and even if they fail to take the title of champion this season, the second place is also a very good result for the team and the result for which it is worth continuing to make efforts. The team still has a gap and the competitors still need to win their matches in order to get close. Moreover, I do not think that Real Madrid will have a simple game and a victory over Real Sociedad, because Sociedad also claims at least third place and at the same time plays on its home arena and would also not mind taking advantage of the misfire of Sevilla and the potential loss of points from one of the competitors in the match of Betis and Atletico Madrid.
