La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[SatoPrincess]

My previous guess actually happened, where in the end the teams that were in the top three to four would still be theirs. At least Sevilla will remain below the three big teams that have been regulars in the title race in every season and also, the narrow 1-0 win that Barcelona got was true in my prediction. Because Sevilla itself is basically a team that has a fairly tight defense, so it's not surprising that Barcelona can win big against Madrid but only win by a narrow score against Sevilla.

Sevilla's defense is the strongest of the teams at the top of the points table. Because their match tactical is the defensive gameplay. They attack very rarely. They showed defensive gameplay against Barcelona. However, Barcelona is lucky to have been able to win this match. Sevilla did their best to draw the match. Sevilla has started losing points. And they are now in fourth place on the table. If they do not return to form, they will not be able to qualify for the Champions League.

Sevilla is looking like the old Atletico Madrid this season because of their defensive discipline so far. Indeed it is safe to say Barcelona were lucky to have gotten the 3 points. The game seems to be destined for a draw until Pedri struck. It was that Pedri's second-half goal that helped Barcelona to move up to second in La Liga table and give the team some sort of hope of winning the title. Although, it is impossible because they are clearly 12 points behind Madrid but an optimistic Barcelona fans would want to keep hope alive.

Real Madrid are going to need five more wins and a draw in the worst case to be able to announce their championship in the La Liga. Because if Barcelona win their missing game, they will need this. Barcelona would fight for the championship as long as they have the chance for it mathematically. They have been on a very impressive run for too many weeks and this raises their self-confidence a lot for certain. I still don't think that Real Madrid will lose their championship chance though but it is still possible indeed.

I am quite optimistic that Real Madrid can win the La Liga trophy this season, Real Madrid will not let Barcelona take their place. Even after
Real Madrid was defeated by Barcelona, Real Madrid immediately got up and won against Celta. Real Madrid are an experienced team,
so they know how to win the competition with Barcelona in La Liga. I doubt Barcelona can win all the remaining games anyway, at least Barcelona
there is also the possibility of dropping points in some games. Moreover, Barcelona still have to play in the Europa League, this cannot make Barcelona
fully focus on La Liga. So most likely this season the La Liga trophy belongs to Real Madrid, but since it is theoretically possible for Barcelona
to catch up with Real Madrid's points, then we have to see until the end of the season to confirm the winner of the La Liga trophy.

I don't expect Barcelona to win the La Liga title because honestly the points difference is too big and I don't expect Barcelona to overcome that.

But, Barcelona will surely get closer to Real Madrid in terms of points. I think the main target of Barcelona right now is the Europa League Trophy and holding onto the position that they have in La Liga right now. And I don't expect Barcelona to go for the La Liga title because in that way they might also lose the Europa League Trophy too.  

So, it's better for Barcelona to concentrate on the Europa League Trophy rather than chasing something which doesn't seem to be reachable at all. and I also do not expect Real Madrid to lose at such a point where Barcelona might have a chance to surpass them.

The mere thought of winning the La Liga title while you are 12 points behind the league leader at this point of the season with less than 10 games left can be termed as having false hope. No way is Barcelona ever going to win the league this season and if for any reason it miraculously happened, I am sure Ancelotti will not just be sacked but also banned from visiting Real Madrid in the future.

maybe only Atletico Madrid has the potential to make Madrid a little difficult to win, while the rest of the other matches seem to be relatively easy matches for Madrid in my opinion.

I agree, that Real Madrid should finish the rest of the La Liga games without mistakes, without losing. Only a few weeks left, don't let them regret and get sick of failing this season. They have to have the rest of the game like a final, I don't know if it's an exaggeration or not. But if it's what's best for the team, there's nothing wrong with that.

At least Madrid have to be serious with the rest of their games. Making mistakes even to lose, will make Barcelona even more eager to chase their points. The hardest matches was probably against Atletico, but I was worried about the other game. Because based on experience, Madrid even lost against small teams instead of seeded. So their target should be to be able to win in every remaining La Liga game.

I find it difficult to say that Real Madrid will lose against a small team. I'm sure real Madrid will win all of these games but they have to be helped by the referee's decisions. like during their last match recently it was very clear they were assisted by the referee, if they were not assisted by the referee they might get a draw or they could lose.

When Barcelona sacked Koeman and Xavi was appointed as the club manager, it was not popular opinion he would be able to get the club to the top 4 spot.   The truth is many didn't even think of Barcelona playing better like this, now the fans are beginning to believe again. Xavi clearly has changed people's perception about this Barcelona side, because of their consistent play many have considered them as favorite for the Europa League title.

We relied on Xavi, thinking he might be able to slowly strengthen the Barcelona team. But Xavi did not waste time. He has made Barcelona a strong team this season. None of us expected to see Barcelona in second place at the table. They are now in second place on the table. And now Barcelona seems to be the strongest and most stable team in the league.

Xavi as successor of Koeman was widely accepted but indeed no one thought he could make it this far. With success comes more responsibilities and winning Europa League becomes a must. In the other hand, no one will blame him for not winning La Liga but EL shouldn't be missed especially that Sevilla was kicked from there.

That's the truth; no one expected Xavi to have such a strong start to the season. I expect him to have a hard season and then prepare well for next season, but as it is, he has done a fantastic job bringing Barcelona to where they are now, and the players he signed have all contributed to the team's success and progress. Next season, he could lead his side to the Laliga title.

On what basis can this happen? Of the potentially difficult matches, only games with Sevilla, Atlético Madrid and Betis remained. The rest of the games with complete outsiders that Real will win even with the second squad. The advantage of Real Madrid is 9 points. The easiest finish in the championship and a guaranteed title. By the way, this allows them to direct the main resource to the Champions League games.

Real Madrid has a chance to lose points. If Benzema is injured again, it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to win the next matches. However, if Benzema is in form, maybe Real Madrid will not lose too many points and will win the title. Moreover, the Champions League matches are very important for Real Madrid. And so we will see their poor performance in a few matches in La Liga.

Real is not only one Benzema and as I said, Real have only three relatively difficult matches left - the rest can be won by the second squad. Too much "fantasy" has to happen for Real not to take the title. 9 points of advantage puts any catcher in an incredibly difficult situation, since even if you take 100% points, nothing is guaranteed, even minimal intrigue.

This is correct. They are strong. They have good difference now. They have easier matches. So combine it all, Real Madrid will only lose La Liga championship if they suicide and if Barcelona have perfect matches from now to last matcb of this season.

Two difficult and almost impossible conditions. So it will be a big coincidence if both conditions actually happen together. Two or three more matches we will be able to conclude the champions in this season. If difference on the table remains the same (9 points) and if it becomes bigger, we can make a conclusion that the title should belong to Real Madrid.

Madrid have a good head to head record from most of the remaining opponents that will be faced in the remaining matches, that's why I'm very confident that madrid will be able to overcome the rest of the opponents because so far I see madrid performance is quite extraordinary when playing in the league , my doubts about madrid maybe if benzema is absent, because of the few matches that madrid played without benzema they were very difficult to win including against barcelona, ​​but if benzema condition is fine, I believe, he will improve madrid  performance in each of their matches.

I thought the same thing as you. I thought maybe this year he would try to stabilize the team a bit. Then, once the Barcelona team has stabilized, he will add star players to strengthen the team next season. But he added Aubameyang and Torres to the squad. Many people said Aubameyang had been out of the Arsenal team for a long time, and that Barcelona had wasted money on him. But now Aubameyang is becoming an integral part of the Barcelona team.

Basically every decision Xavi made this season was right. And very quickly he was able to make the right decisions so Barcelona is strong now.

something that Xavi did not expect, of course no one thought he would be able to revive Barcelona's performance because Xavi has no experience coaching big teams but now he has proven to all Barcelona fans by bringing Barcelona to 2nd place in the standings and also has potential big win the Europa League.
I think if Xavi stays at Barcelona next season and brings in the players he wants I'm sure there will be a lot of trophies that will be given to Barcelona.

The changes made by Xavi at barcelona did provide significant results, but I don't think it will last for the next few seasons if he continues to rely on old players like now, in my opinion, xavi needs to immediately regenerate the barcelona squad in the transfer market next season  and at least it will make Xavi job easier in the following seasons, because if he continues to keep the old player it will certainly have a huge effect on the stability of the club if later the old players experience a decline in performance due to the influence of age.

[D-law]

Barcelona now leveled points with Sevilla, they should be very careful to stay good on that spot.
They had Sevilla troubling them but they kept there head cool and kept possession, Sevilla did good but I think they needed a point man at attack and Antonio Martial wasn't the man for them that game, they had a decent game but Pedri gave Barcelona the three points.

Therefore, little by little Xavi began to cover the old players so that in the future the stability of the game without seniors at the back will be more independent. I believe this will be fixed in the future and Xavi will soon make some changes but not immediately. The process that will answer it. Btw, I found this on Barcelona official Twitter posting during Xavi's in charge of Barcelona.

This shows pride in the changes that Xavi is trying to bring.

Xavi has good support from the Barcelona management and he is also smart in making decisions about which players are suitable for his team. The signings of Aubameyang, Ferran and Adama have fueled the team's spirit to compete so far and he has also managed to maximize the potential of Dembele and other young players such as Pedri and Gavi.

I think sooner or later Xavi will become a successful coach with Barcelona and he is on the right track at the moment. It's nice to see him fired up enough to build a team that was so slumped at the start of the season, now Barcelona is so different from before.

It will be very possible, in the first season at this time he has been good enough to get Barcelona out of the mud and restore his form to become one of the giants in La Liga. it is possible that in the coming seasons he can make something interesting and even though there are no guarantees but if you look at his performance this season I don't think it's wrong to expect that next season will again make La Liga competitive in the title race

[CLS63]

Barcelona had a really important win against Sevilla but I can't say that it was a solid one though. Because they had huge problems on scoring even one goal even though they fully dominated the game. Sevilla endured them very well for around 70 minutes but couldn't do anything against Pedri's delightful goal. From now on, there is an interesting view of the league standings. Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla all have 57 points now. Barcelona can still be counted as more advantageous of course as they haven't played their absent game. But the remaining weeks could be delightful to watch indeed.

[KTChampions]

Too much "fantasy" has to happen for Real not to take the title. 9 points of advantage puts any catcher in an incredibly difficult situation, since even if you take 100% points, nothing is guaranteed, even minimal intrigue.

Two or three more matches we will be able to conclude the champions in this season. If difference on the table remains the same (9 points) and if it becomes bigger, we can make a conclusion that the title should belong to Real Madrid.

Increasing the distance between first and second place (whoever is in it) will mean that Real Madrid will become champions in the 35th round. That is 3 rounds before the finish line. Those who talk about the chances of Barcelona have little idea of how big this advantage is with 8 games left. By the way, I'm surprised that the bookies are still taking bets on Real - it looks like a gift, although it's only 4%.

Real Madrid 1.04

Barcelona 12.50
