La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Well, it is difficult to call Suarez a key player for the current Atletico Madrid and therefore such a situation when a player finds himself on the bench is by no means an exceptional situation.

I don't see a better striker than Suarez in Atletico Squad. Yep, the problem is he often sits on the bench, not sure what's the problem with Simeone. No one doubts his quality as a striker, he only needs more time to play. For me, he is still an exceptional player although he didn't play regularly anymore.

By the way, Atletico defeated Real Madrid in La Liga for the first time in six years and also won for the first time at their home stadium

This winning is quite important for them, not only based on that history. This is surely a new record, but the most important that with these 3 points, they can maintain the position in the UCL zone for the next season. The biggest target for Atletico Madrid should be UCL zone, it is the realistic target for them now.

Villarreal - Sevilla was an interesting game too. It ended up with a draw like 1-1 but both of the goals were scored in the last minutes. Especially Sevilla did a great job by saving the point thanks to a last-minute goal. I can't say that they played good in this game in general. They were poorer in the first half. The second half was a little more promising but still it didn't end well. Actually this can be called as a bad game for Villarreal rather than Sevilla. They must have aimed to be the winner.

And yeah, Atletico Madrid really made it to the victory against Real Madrid by 1-0. However, it was quite a difficult victory for them at the same time. They had a big problem on beating even this Real Madrid which played with many backup players. Real Madrid had even more shots on target but Atletico Madrid must be thankful for not conceding any goal.

It was very unfortunate that Atletico Madrid only won with 1 goal although Real Madrid played with many substitution players. I think Atletico should win with 2 goals difference at least, they must show their squad was superior in that match. I assume Atletico coach chooses the wrong strategy for Atletico Madrid. Diego Someone didn't instruct the players to attack aggressively, he ordered the players to be more defensive in the second half. He also didn't release some top players as the starters, so Atletico cannot get a maximum result in the first half.

The Atletico vs Real Madrid match was very boring in my opinion, because in that match Real Madrid played its reserve players. So I don't see
the real Real Madrid game, it wouldn't be surprising if Real Madrid ended up losing to Atletico. But unfortunately typical of Simeone's strategy,
which once Atletico managed to score a goal in the first half, then they play it safe by playing defensively and trying to maintain that advantage.
So even though the match brought together two strong teams, the overall match was very boring to watch. So for 90 minutes there was only one goal,
and that was the goal that Atletico scored through a penalty. It's hard to expect an entertaining match if Atletico have taken the lead first,
maybe Atlético will attack if they fall behind to Real Madrid.

The champions league is now the main target for madrid after winning La Liga, if Ancelotti continues to force main players to play in matches that are no longer decisive like the rest of the matches in the League, of course they will only get a loss if there are main players injured later, now ancelotti only will field a reserve player to spend the rest of the match in la liga, while the main players are prioritized to be able to face Liverpool in the Champions League final later.

I also want to add one thing about the character of Atletico Madrid's playing style which is very aggressive, especially when we saw it in the Champions League semifinals. You must know their rough game against Manchester City. So I think Ancelotti already knows how to keep their core players from getting injured. Champions League preparation is very important. Therefore, letting Atletico play with a score of 1 point will not change anything in La Liga for Madrid.

the UCL trophy is the target that Carletto is chasing, I also read the situation that he doesn't want to risk Benzema getting injured just because he doesn't want Madrid to lose to ATM. carletto is one of the best coaches in the world, because madrid has officially won la league then nothing will change if madrid loses to ATM. from the ATM vs madrid match, I saw a great coach, who has mature logic in the long term, carletto is great.

There is nothing you can do about it, because this is the corporate style of team management that Diego Simeone preaches. Let him seem to be trying to build another more attacking style lately, but the fact remains that Simeone is most successful when the team plays in a defensive style. You can talk about the beauty of the game as much as you like, but Atletico, unlike Real Madrid, which has won the championship ahead of schedule, has not yet solved its tournament tasks, and therefore the caution in the game of Atletico Madrid after scoring a goal is quite understandable. Still, participation in the Champions League is at stake.

Real Madrid have finished the league in style.Karim Benzema and his team mates have been superb so far this season.They have won the league already,so even if they should loose again,ofcourse it's not really going to affect them,that was why in the derby between them and Athletico,they rested most of their players because they really want to win the champions league,but that match is really going to be tough and interesting to watch.Seeing Sadio Mane, Mohammed Salah and Firminho lead Liverpool's attack,and also see the incredible Karim Benzema lead real madrid's attack,,I really find it difficult to make predictions their,but if I were to predict,I would predict that Liverpool wins and take the trophy to England where it belongs.

[Davian144]

It became very risky indeed when Real Madrid forced to field its main players. Because they also need preparation for more important matches. I'm not saying that the LA Liga isn't important now for Real Madrid, but for now the Champions League is even more important. Plus they've already confirmed themselves to be champions, so they can rotate some of their main players.

I also think so because what Real Madrid hoped for in Laliga they have already achieved and they have also been able to focus on unachieved targets like in the Champions League because that is also more important than Laliga.
So it is clear at this time that Real Madrid is more focused on the Champions League because Real Madrid will compete in the final to ensure the title trophy this season.

Few months ago Real Betis was became an strong contender for top 4 position but since last month i don't know why their performance seems to be decreasing and they often to lost points from important matches and today against Valencia i personally doubted they will get 3 points from this match although Valencia matches records also not really good but i don't think they will going to win the match however for bet option i think both teams to score is good for this match instead of pick who will be the winner

[ropyu1978]

even though real madrid lost atm, but it had no effect at all, because real madrid had already lifted the la Liga trophy, real madrid now only focused on the champions league final, in the champions league real madrid looks amazing, because they have proven to beat great teams, like PSG, Chelsea and Manchester city, can Real Madrid beat Liferpol again in the final?

Ancelotti knows what he has to do, he is not going to risk his players, of course the Champions League is the next target after saving the La Liga trophy. The fitness of players must be maintained ahead of the Champions League Final, Benzema, who is a key player, will be well guarded by Ancelotti. Not fielding Benzema in the match against Atletico was the right choice for Ancelotti, losing to Atletico does not disappoint anyone, because Ancelotti main target in the big match against Liverpool.

Real Madrid's defeat against Atletico Madrid is a natural thing where Atletico Madrid is currently aiming for full points to keep the distance from Real Betis and it ended sweetly where Atletico Madrid managed to beat their city team with a score of 1-0 until the end of the match, the result is solid their position in the top four of the BBVA league standings.while for Real Madrid the defeat has no effect on the team because they are currently focusing on the UCL because they have lifted the Spanish league trophy a few weeks ago where at this time Real Madrid's points are no longer able to be pursued by the team. anywhere with 3 games remaining

I think, it will be difficult for this match to end up draw because Real Betis will never allow the game to end up draw than to use their new tactics to defeat Valencia 2-1 for the favour of Real Betis. Real Betis coach has learned from their mistakes from their last matches that made their points to dropped down, that is causing fear into the mind of their fans if the Real Betis will be able to achieve 3 points from this match. I believe Real Betis will definitely achieve their 3 points from this match because their defenders and strikers are very ready to achieve victory from this match.

Benzema could be rested for a few match in the league, it is a good choice for Ancelotti considering the Champions League final is more important than continuing to play Benzema in the league. It doesn't matter if Real Madrid end up losing some match in the league, but of course the player's form and fitness for the Champions League has yet to be considered.

I have no doubts about the Real Madrid striker having the ability to score goals, but maybe a bit doubtful about their defence. Real Madrid's defense isn't that great especially when they have a lot of attacks from the opposing strikers, so I think it's a tough job for Real Madrid at the moment in the final. Liverpool are a strong team, maybe they can explore Real Madrid's weaknesses in defense like the first leg of the semifinal against Manchester City where at that time Real Madrid had to pick up the ball 4 times from the net.

It is a derby and each club have their proud to protect. However, as you said, Real Madrid already won La Liga in the previous week so Ancelotti knows that the derby is no longer important for them as it should be.

They have to prioritize for Champions League final with a strong opponent Liverpool. It will be bad for them if Benzema, Modric or Casemiro get injured in an unimportant derby.

I also think so because what Real Madrid hoped for in Laliga they have already achieved and they have also been able to focus on unachieved targets like in the Champions League because that is also more important than Laliga.
So it is clear at this time that Real Madrid is more focused on the Champions League because Real Madrid will compete in the final to ensure the title trophy this season.

They don't have any objective to fight for in La Liga. They won it so it's enough. What they need is to win Champions League final. In order to win it, they must have their best players in their best fitness for that match.

To have a good preparation for that match, a short rest in the Madrid derby is necessary.

Atlético Madrid win it's good for them and with this now they have very strong case for staying at fourth spot Someone is doing good job as his team plays good with their usual style of defense if they try to do some more than surely this can create some problems for them and Real Madrid which was with their mostly substitutes can take good advantage which is not acceptable for home team as currently Betis is also fighting hard for fourth spot with this win now gape is six points which is good for Atlético Madrid.

On other side mostly Real Madrid was also playing with soft hands as they already won title and now waiting for big match against Liverpool which is going to play after few days, and they surely want to complete double for this season which good be amazing end of this season for Ancelotti and his team.

[dwminer1]

Barcelona winning today's match with Celta Vigo will come very close to the vice-championship of the Primera Division. After the troubles this club experienced during the season, I think it will be a good result anyway. However, if Barcelona wants to fight for the championship with Real next season, they will need to strengthen their squad in the summer, as well as work to stabilize their form.

The Los Blancos side will meet the reds in Paris for the Champions league finals. The both teams are really deserve to be in the finals due to their impressive come-back against teams. The game will be unpredictable because the both Frontlines are sharp when it comes to goals and their defense is tighten, they don't easily concede goals. Real Madrid are really ready for the final due to the last game they draw against Athletico Madrid. Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelloti rested some of his key players in the game so that he will use all of them in the finals.

~snip~

Real Madrid will now be very focused on the Champions League final and they will probably rest some of the main squad including Benzema to keep him fit for the final. Obviously Madrid's target at the moment is the Champions League title, so they will probably give a minute for a substitute for the rest of the season. They are already safe in the league, even if they lose it doesn't mean anything.

That's what matters. They hope to win two trophies this year. If it works, of course Anceloti is considered quite successful. I think it's natural, if they play the usual players in the reserves. I think there's actually a sense of being raised if you win. But today's reality that matters is UCL. Anceloti is certainly calm with La Liga, besides that it's time for the reserve players to prove that they also deserve to play and develop. That's very useful for madrid for next season. Although I am sure Madrid will buy some new players.

Ancelotti is a genius coach, I saw him during his time with Milan, he had a good buying decision, it's just that he failed with Milan at that time because Milan were in a difficult situation to buy quality players due to bad finances. Together with Madrid, who have better finances, coupled with the champions won this season, Ancelotti will bring in new players to improve line by line to be a better form next season. If I'm not mistaken, Madrid will likely get Mbappe, although it's still just a rumor, if he really arrives, Madrid will most likely be able to defend the La Liga trophy next season. Especially if they wins the UCL, Ancelotti will also try to defend the European trophy he has won with a number of new players.

Losing points in La Liga is no longer a problem for Real Madrid because indeed they have officially won the La Liga trophy for 2021/22, now Ancelotti main goal is of course the Champions League Trophy and that's why Ancelotti didn't field his main players for the rest of the La Liga matches,  madrid in the champions league this season is indeed quite thrilling cause managed to make a comeback that took them to the final, regardless of who wins the champions league later, but I hope the final match will be a fierce match because after all we will see the two best european teams facing each other.
