La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[KTChampions]

After losing to Barcelona, Atletico won 4 out of 5 games in La Liga, you can say that they have come out of the crisis. But about the game with Cadiz, I would not be sure - it will be three days before the decisive match in the Champions League against United. It will be an away match, maybe Simeone will put up a semi-reserve squad and then Cadiz will have a chance to get at least a draw.

This will be a calculation because it is certain that they do not want to take risks with preparations against MU in Leg 2 later.
Position in La Liga is important but I don't think they can fully go all out against Cadiz because indeed they will also think about the player's fitness for this.
Maybe in this match Atletico are still very favored but I think it will only be a narrow victory for them

On the one hand, this is an important match - the struggle for the top 4 in La Liga is in full swing, but on the other hand, in La Liga, Atlético managed to push Betis aside and get into the top 4. Now the situation is much better for them than when they fought for the top 4 with Barcelona, so even a small loss of points will not be critical. But if they lose to United it will be an irreparable fail of the season. So I'm sure that Simeone will focus on the match against United and the game against Cadiz will have much less priority.

Atletico Madrid v Cadiz is going to be the opening match this week in the La Liga. And Atletico Madrid are being favoured highly to win this match. Cadiz are not in a good condition lately. I don't see them as a durable team these days and they wouldn't resist Atletico Madrid too much also. Atletico Madrid have been continuing to impress people by maintaining their winning streak. And it looks like this will go on like this after this match too. They are in a placement fight with Barcelona and it is really nice to watch.

Even here Atlético Madrid is hot favorite for this match, but it's going to be not easy for them as they are also going to play against Manchester United after few days which is very important match for them after having draw at home, so they will try to keep their players in better shape so here we can expect some good chance for Cádiz as well because their recent form is also very good as in last four matches they are unbeaten and now looking of place out of relegation zone.

I am also favoring Atlético Madrid, but we already have many times things like this when teams lost matches because they never take any risk for losing player or any other trouble before big matches, so here we can expect some good entertaining match between these two teams beyond these odds which are currently giving by book makers.

In any case, Barcelona will have to make great efforts in the first match with Galatasaray in the Europa League draw due to the fact that the first match will take place at the home stadium of the Catalan club and it is desirable to create a reserve before the return match, given that Turkish clubs play better at home in front of fans famous for their frenzy.

Unfortunately, Barcelona didn't make big efforts in the match against Galatasaray. Did you watch the match? Xavi rested some key players on the bench, especially attackers, very surprising to see Dembele and Aubameyang on the bench. I assume Xavi wants to prepare these strikers to play against Osasuna. Or Xavi thinks collecting the points in the first Leg isn't so necessary.  

of course, it is not impossible to excel in controlling the field in the match against the Turkish club, Galatasaray.

Yep, they dominated the ball possession, almost 70%. Sadly, they made 4 shots on target only, and finally finished the match without a single goal.  

Plus facing Osasuna, it is also still an advantage how Barcelona will certainly take the opportunity to increase their points in La Liga

Sure. But only when Barcelona can win the match. 
Although in theory Barcelona will absolutely win the match against Osasuna (having better players' quality and play at home), but Osasuna can make a surprise if Barcelona doesn't play with their best efforts. I hope Xavi won't rest key players again, it can be a big mistake like in the match against Galatasaray.

The first match of week 28 of La Liga is Atletico Madrid vs Cadiz. Focusing on Atletico, they I think are chasing second place or at least they are chasing third at the end of the competition. They are now level on points with Barcelona and are only 7 points behind second-placed Sevilla. The distance of 7 points is quite close to Sevilla's appearance, which is now slightly declining. Yes they only won 2 games out of 5 matches they played.

It is no longer about chasing second or third position, their main task is just to maintain a stronger position because if they lose the match, it is very likely that they will be overtaken again by the team below them. So in a case like that they just need to get stronger in the top four, if in the end they can finish higher then that's a bonus for them.

That type of approach is lacking in most fans and most clubs as well. They pick a position they could or at least they may reach and they fight for that and whenever they get it, they start to be a little bit worse. The reality is that, if you play every single game as a must win, and if you keep caring about the results, then you become like Bayern Munich. They could be 20+ points ahead of everyone else on the very last game and be beating a team 11-0 and would still fight hard to score that 12th game.

If you do not play football like that, then you are not going to be dominating the league and at any moment there could be someone working harder than you and beat you to the position you want.

Hm, it's true, isn't it... A phenomenon like Bayern is very difficult to explain, taking the league trophy for 10 years in a row (this season they will probably take it, so we can consider it 10 years). Maybe the management motivates them somehow, I don't know... But then the question arises why can't the other teams be motivated in the same way? It turns out that many players on the teams play just for the money?

It is too early to say that they have been pushed aside, as the game is still going on. But there is a point in expecting Athletico de Madrid beating easily Rayo Vallecano and getting very close to the next incumbent. Rayo is a team that tends to thrive in adversity, but lately is not doing great, so this is a match in which the bet is likely to go to Madrid on that regard.

Or Xavi thinks collecting the points in the first Leg isn't so necessary.  

I watched this match and here, most likely, a banal underestimation of the opponent worked and, as a result, a banal desire to rotate and give some key players of the main squad a break In any case, Aubameyang and Dembele appeared on the football field when Xavi began to realize that Barcelona could not achieve the necessary result and also says that the head coach considers it important for himself to succeed in the Europa League. Another question is that this did not work out in the end and Barcelona failed to create the necessary groundwork before the return match and this may also affect the result of the match with Osasuna, because now it will be necessary to keep in mind the return match with Galatasaray.

Indeed, in terms of quality, Atletico Madrid should have won this match against Cadiz. Moreover, they need him to continue to be close to Sevilla. And the opportunity to overtake them is also still great considering there are still enough matches in La Liga for them to do that. Cadiz are not a strong team to win this match even they are not too tough to at least get a draw.

Although looks easy how to defat Cadiz but Atletico Madrid have another important schedule match next four days later against with  Manchester United on champion league 2nd leg, I think last result match draw on first leg maybe make Atletico Madrid will keep safe several regular player against with Cadiz, I think great chance for Cadiz have possibility to defeat Atletico Madrid but still waiting with line up release before two hours match begin, keep make gambling or no for Simeone against Cadiz with regular player or not because champion league as important match for Atletico Madrid.

[bering]

Atletico vs Cadiz from the statistics matches and head to head records obviously Atletico better and probably be can win this match but Atletico must carefully because sometimes Cadiz can playing suprising even this season Madrid and Barcelona cannot beat them especially the teams who in the relegated zone sometimes hard to beated because they will struggle to avoid that zone however my prediction Atletico might be will ended this match with the winning results but for slim score

[Fesatmas]

Barcelona does not want to catch up with Sevilla rather Barcelona want to seal their position at number three because that position is not clear for them, ATM is also fighting for the position and both ATM and Barcelona are in the same point.
As it is unlikely that Sevilla will displace real Madrid, that is how it is also unlikely that Barcelona will display Sevilla.
Provided that Barcelona is in laliga top 4, they should be happy with any position because I did not expect Barcelona to recover so fast. We can body say that Xavi has done well for the club

You are so sure that Barcelona did not want the place that Sevilla now occupies. With more than 10 games left in La Liga, they definitely want it, and they still have a game with Sevilla and this is a great opportunity for Barcelona. I think you are wrong when you say that it is unlikely that Barcelona will replace Sevilla in the table. Now we can see, Barcelona showed a pretty good development, while Sevilla lost a lot of crucial points lately.

Yes, indeed, teams in the relegation zone always surprise with their games. Statistically they could have lost, but they didn't let their opponent win easily.
Even when many predict the relegation team will lose the match, they respond with a draw or even win. The point is don't underestimate your opponent, if you don't want to be humiliated.

[Minor Miner]

Barcelona do not seem to be in a position to win the La Liga title right now. They are 15 points behind Real Madrid. Is it possible to fill this gap now? I don't think that's possible. If this point gap had been 8/9, then maybe Barcelona would have won the title. However, even if they don't win this season, Barcelona will fight for the title next season. And their team is very strong now.

Just look at the final score of the next Barcelona match. Indeed, the target that is still far away is also the very high score difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Then from Real Madrid performance, which is increasingly difficult to match, maybe there will be some kind of formation reshuffle, well the addition of new players in the transfer window for Barcelona. some issues there is a star that is being targeted by these two big clubs. It remains to be seen who Real Madrid and Barcelona are fighting for this season to add a big boost to their club.

No other team is competing with Real Madrid to win the title this season. Although Sevilla's points are close to Real Madrid's, they are irregular as a team. But next season the title fight will be even more competitive. With the help of Xavi, Barcelona is building a stronger team. Although they are strong enough at the moment, they will probably take on more experienced players in their team next season. If Real Madrid can't improve their forwards and take on players like Mbappe or Haaland, they will fall behind.

Barcelona are still not in the best state to hold on to their 3rd position. They are on the same points as Atletico Madrid. Barcelona is a head-on gold difference, the only thing is Barcelona has a match in their hand. That is going to play a crucial role for them, if they continue in their winning, I think it's just a matter of time before they will get close to Sevilla. First of all, the obvious need to consolidate their position in the third place.

Yes, but Atletico's situation which is gradually improving like this home match will certainly be obtained with a win. I personally don't doubt it, because lower-ranked teams will only play defensively and rely on counter-attacks to score goals. I hope that Atletico's defense is better like the previous seasons and that way, Atletico will continue to strengthen their position in the top 4 because they are not safe yet.

in the last 5 matches Cadiz only experienced 1 loss 3 draws and 1 win, I think they are now back up and fighting to get out of the relegation zone. Atletico must watch out for this, who currently need full points to continue to improve their position in the temporary standings which are currently in 4th position.
Of course both teams are eyeing each other to win in this match and it is very possible that the game will be open and attacking each other with so many goals will likely be created in this match.

[Razmirraz]

while Barcelona are still  have financial problems, so their can only hope for free players.

It's never been a problem as long as they play as expected. It's useless to bring in many top players but in the end they fail too.

Barcelona's management policy in the January a transfer market was very precise, they managed to bring in top players on a free transfer. The financial constraints experienced by Barcelona made them have to look at free transfer players to build a team, the results can be seen with victory after victory that Barcelona got until they were in 3rd position in the standings.
It must be admitted that Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties, they have also proven to the public that even though they are hit by a financial crisis they can still bring in several players to strengthen the club.

I actually think that Atletico will win by a big score, Cadiz are currently at the bottom and in terms of quality they are far below Atletico.
Atletico also really need a big win for the tight competition at the top of the current standings.
maybe my prediction Atletico will win by a score of 3-0 or more.

The quality of the two teams is different and Atletico is far more than anything, it can be seen from their current position in the standings. I think it will be very difficult for Cadiz to steal points from Atletico even though they are at their best.
I have no doubts about winning for Atletico in this match even I predict that Atletico will win by a big score.

Cadiz managed to score points in their last 4 games, they are trying to get out of the relegation zone. But in this match, the opponent is a strong team, Atletico has to win this match in order to stay on top of the league. No matter how hard Cadiz tries, he may not get points from this match.
I agree with what you said and I think Atletico will win this match without too many goals
