La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[herurist]

What's with the Atletico game today. In terms of the quality of the team they are very underdog, The previous performance was also quite good but for now they continue to be pressured by Cadiz's attack which makes me not too sure they will win.
In terms of chances they lost, in terms of ball possession they lost and even they often made their own mistakes in this match.
If this continues, most likely they will only get a draw even the worst possibility is defeat

~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.

I don't think so. Xavi must evaluate his strategy after the match against Galatasaray, he will try to make a better lineup. Since Barcelona will play against Osasuna at home, Xavi shouldn't want to make Barcelona management and fans be unsatisfied again. Also, it is very crucial to get 3 points in this match, to maintain their position on the table. So, I am very optimistic that Xavi will release their best players and don't think too much about the next Leg against Galatasaray. They have 1 week to prepare everything before the 2nd Leg on Galatasaray home, so don't worry about the next match.

I don't know if you have been following La Liga (like even watching the matches) but if you haven't been the truth is Atlético Madrid have been very inconsistent this season. They show up in one match, and then they are completely out classed on the next one.

Update:

Rodrigo De Paul has just scored Atlético's second goal. It's now 2:1

[Ulven]

In the end, Athletic managed to achieve the full points, which are the most important for him, to move forward in order to compete for one of the qualifying spots for CL.

 Indeed, Cadiz did a good show by monopolizing the ball and building coordinated attacks and shooting towards the goal to achieve the equalizer two minutes before the end of the first half, but Cadiz players were unable to maintain a tie and They are really threatened with relegation to the second division.

[Velvet78]

I don't know how but Atletico Madrid are still winning somehow despite having a not very impressive performance in some of their La Liga games. And the Cadiz game was among those ones too. Cadiz had an effective performance unlike their opponent here. But Atletico Madrid still showed their quality in their several dangerous attacks and won by 2-1 in Wanda Metropolitano. And this is the fourth week in a row that they are winning. This win has boosted them to the third place temporarily too. But I don't think Barcelona will lose their position to them this week.

It's just that Atletico Madrid has already won their match, and Barcelona has yet to do it, so Atletico has an advantage in this. Atletico has a good squad and therefore should show results at least as good as Barcelona, and if Barcelona seems to have got out of the crisis, then why not make it Diego Simeone's ward? I do not consider myself one of the ardent fans of Atletico Madrid, but I still wanted there to be more competition in the championship, including from clubs like Atletico and Barcelona, although of course their lag at this point in time no longer allows us to talk about any claims to the title. As for Barcelona, we will see how the club's players feel after the not very successful result in the match with Galatasaray.

[TelolettOm]

It's now 1-1 at half-time. Atlético Madrid almost had a player sent off. Thanks to VAR intervention the previous red card was rescinded, and he was given a yellow card 
Cadiz have been resilient with a 62% possession in the first half, and it's one of the matches where I feel Atlético might drop at least two more points.

I was actually a bit surprised by Cadiz's game, I admit they played well tonight. But unfortunately, from so many shots that were directed at the opponent's goal, only 1 was able to score. But basically, there is a pretty good improvement from this one team, especially the opponent is a big club Atletico Madrid, of course, this is not easy. But they have proven that at least they have tried optimally and played as well as possible, even though in the end they still had to lose with a score of 2-1

Agree, dude. Cadiz showed us a good game, they struggle very well today. They dominated the ball possession, 55%. And they made more goal attempts (14 shots), while Atletico only made 6 shots. Unfortunately, Cadiz players cannot execute the opportunity accurately, so they only made 1 goal. If they can have more accurate shots, they should have more than 2 goals and probably win the match. Cadiz must learn how to shots accurately, so they can win the next matches.

I was surprised too by Cadiz performance, but they desperately need points, performing good is not enough for them, and they still have tough matches against very good teams, they are in a tough situation right now, it would be a surprise if they don't get relegated, points is what matters now not performance.

Good game only is not enough thing for Cadiz because they loss and defeated by Atletico Madrid 2-1, all game play right now not only focus with show with good game only but also how effective create attempt and could scoring goal. I see although have 55% ball possession I think Cadiz less created attempt than Atletico Madrid where have shot on goal 5 time than Cadiz just have attempt shot on goal with 3 time. How ever good game or not but this winning time make Atletico Madrid to 3rd standing position awhile waiting Barcelona match this week against with  Osasuna and hope for failure get three points to make keep safety 3rd position standing for Atletico Madrid.

They have 1 week to prepare everything before the 2nd Leg on Galatasaray home, so don't worry about the next match.

I think so too, the draw with Galatasaray makes Xavi has to evaluate his strategy when playing with Osasuna. Three points must be obtained by Barcelona to keep the distance from Atletico madrid who just won 2-1 over Cadiz.
Now all Xavi has to do prepare the team not to drop points in every La Liga game. Finishing in the top 4 is Barcelona target to be able to compete in the Champions League competition a next season. The draw with Galatasaray was Barcelona fault, but Xavi and his men still have a chance to qualify for the next round when they play at a home to Galatasaray.

[hahay]

Basically Cadiz can control the game, I don't think Cadiz will be able to lead in ball possession but they can do it and also, Cadiz have higher goal attempts and it shows if Cadiz does a better finishing then it is very possible a draw can occur. This low-goal victory still makes Atletico return to 4th position if Barcelona wins also in the next match, because their difference is only in the number of goals and also the different total matches that make it difficult for Atletico to finish in 3rd position. But yeah, it doesn't seem that important, because with them being in the top 4 it's enough for them to get a UCL ticket next season.

Cadiz played very well they were able to control the game in this match especially the opponent they were facing was Atletico Madrid who was in the top row of the standings, Cadiz had equalized at the end of the first half but unfortunately Rodrigo De Paul scored again in the 68th minute to determine Atletico's victory.

This narrow victory is enough for Atletico Madrid considering they are focusing on the UCL match in the middle of next week. from the side of the game Cadiz has tried very well by carrying out many dangerous attacks but indeed Atletico are still very strong for their opponents.

[maju69]

As previously predicted that Atletico Madrid would win the match. But I was a little surprised by Cadiz's game, yes they were able to balance Atletico Madrid's game even though in the end they had to lose. Yes they show that the team is bottom of the table and not favorites to win, that is not to be underestimated.
I congratulate Atletico and I applaud Cadiz's performance.

[Alisha-k]

Atletico Madrid 1 - 0 Cadiz

At 3 minutes, Atletico scored a goal and I expected them to be able to have more possession of the ball and have total control of the game and score a lot of goals, but in practice it's not what I expected, Cadiz has more possession of the ball, me it seems that in this game cadiz will end up with more possession of the ball but with defeat, maybe they will be able to score 1 goal

It's now 1-1 at half-time. Atlético Madrid almost had a player sent off. Thanks to VAR intervention the previous red card was rescinded, and he was given a yellow card 
Cadiz have been resilient with a 62% possession in the first half, and it's one of the matches where I feel Atlético might drop at least two more points.

Beautiful play from Cadiz. They really dominated the ball having most of the ball possession in the first and making 11 shots but only two were on target.
Even though, Joao Felix opened the score line early in the 3rd minute, Alvaro leveled it in the 45th minute and that was the most action they saw at the back of the net of atletico.
 Diego should be proud of his men for being able to secure three much needed points though getting a red card which VAR could not intervene for any longer, still it was a fun and interesting game. They need to maintain a good form if they desire to finish at the top.

I was expecting Atletico to win this game easily, but the resistance shown from a team facing relegation stunned me and it shows that Atletico have dropped their high standards. Lastly while they escaped with the three points, I feel that Diego should ask the hard questions as to why Atletico struggled against a team that’s in the relegation zone, and not be happy to just get those 3 points.

Although they won with difficulty but in the end, athletico managed to get 3 points in the match against cadiz, with an additional 3 points made athletico now succeeded in shifting the position of barcelona who will play their 27th match on monday later. the match against cadiz went beyond what many people had predicted, Many thought that Athletico would be able to win the match easily, but in reality Cadiz, who was in the relegation zone, actually gave quite a fierce resistance and even Cadiz was able to keep up with Athletico game throughout the match.

Cadiz's game really deserves appreciation, because even though Cadiz is a weak team and is in the relegation zone, the fighting spirit shown
by Cadiz players is extraordinary. Even I think after Joao Felix scored a goal in the 3rd minute, the Cadiz players will lose their morale,
turns out my guess was wrong. Cadiz was more daring to attack and managed to equalize in the 45th minute. I saw Atlético who looked under
pressure, but because after all the quality of Atletico's players was much better than Cadiz, at last Atletico was able to score the winning goal
in 68 minutes. Although Atletico won the match it was quite difficult to get, even Atletico got a red card at the end of the match, this shows
the Atletico players are quite frustrated by attacks from Cadiz players. Even Cadiz had more control over the game, and took more shots,
meaning Cadiz created quite a few chances, unfortunately because of the poor quality of Cadiz's players they had difficulty scoring goals.
Atletico's win made them move up to 3rd place, ​​this is a pretty good result, because Atletico do need a lot of points to secure their position
in order to stay in the top 4.

Both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are back in the truck. Now the fight will be more intense. Although these two teams are not fighting for the title now. Their main goal is to qualify for the Champions League. It looks like they will be able to do this very well, as well as be able to reduce their points gap with Real Madrid. My guess is that at the end of the season Real Madrid will be at the top of the table, in second place we will see Barcelona. Sevilla will be in third place and Atletico Madrid in fourth place.
