La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Alanaz]

Well, right now the match against Juventus is going on in Real Madrid's preseason, so far it's been 42 minutes and they're winning with a goal from Benzema, I think that Juve is having a very good introduction in these minutes, and it's worth noting that Benzema he is playing at half speed, Vinicius is there and you really see an abysmal difference in terms of the resistance of the Real Madrid players with those of Juve, I think that the Vinicius and Benezema duo does a lot of damage to the teams, Modric is also very activated and they are making many shots on goal, this shows that Real Madrid plays with almost all its starting players against certain teams to take care of them and not get injured.

You must also pay attention to the real madrid's defensive player. Juventus was feeling so difficult to attack real madrid's keeper. All of shots already made by juventus strikers were not on target. that means the defensive player's real madrid was also become even better and better.
It needs time for some player like antonio rudiger to adapt with the real madrid's playing style. I hope that if this will become a very strong team to win another UCL and La Liga again.

I don't think it's too much of a problem with that because chemistry will work out well over time and if you look at their game against Juventus, this is something I think is quite good.
Even the Madrid goalkeeper did not need to work hard in this match because there was no Shot on Target that Juventus got.

Am I not mistaken looking at the statistics, Juventus have no shot on goal. I think Real are too strong for juventus. Madrid won 2-0. Even madrid made 622 passes that meant madrid controlled the match. I was also pleased with Kroos' performance he performed very well. He delivered the most powerful passes, tackles and touches. While I was quite pleased with their performance. Besides In this match of course for madrid this is a win pertam and uventus is the first defeat.

[judas]

Maybe it was a friendly but I must admit that I really enjoyed Real Madrid's great performance against Juventus. They got a well-deserved win above all else. Juventus didn't even have any shot on target which was horrible for their side. Benzema scored and sent a message like he was ready for the official season. He is again going to be Real Madrid's most valuable card against their opponents in the La Liga. I hope that we can watch a nice competition for being the most scorer between him and Lewandowski.

[Doell]

Barcelona managed to beat Real Madrid some time ago, and recently the club made by Xavi was only satisfied with a draw when they met Juventus. Surprising to see Real Madrid beat Juventus with a score of 2-0 yesterday, Juventus don't even attack much into Madrid's defence, in contrast to when they met Barcelona they played with an attack priority. This proves that Real Madrid's defense is still strong enough even after Marcelo left.

Yeah Real Madrid is still strong in defense and attack, Carlo Ancelotti is still a coach who is smart in making strategy. Even though Barcelona played against Juventus with a draw but at least they haven't tasted loss, actually this friendly match has not proves anything because the serious event hasn't started yet.

[Furious 7]

Now the La Liga euphoria will improve slightly even though only 2 clubs are still stealing the attention with Madrid being passive in player transfers and Barcelona being very active in bringing in expensive players.
But as you said, there will be interesting things because when these two clubs compete against each other it will make a splash there which is quite exciting and indeed this will not be missed by football lovers.

What will make a stark difference is at Barcelona with their latest signing, surely adding to their match even more exciting. On the other hand, at Real Madrid, they are still dominated by those who feel the atmosphere of El Clasico in the past. I mumbled a bit in their game yesterday, I think the players who just came to Barcelona said "this is how El Clasico matches".

In this case Madrid always struggle in some of their El Clasicos but indeed this is not a significant obstacle especially a few days ago it was just a friendly and not a match that really counts in El Clasico as for El Clasico Madrid will obviously make something wrong interesting with a formation and players who are really the best I think.

[Masplanc]

Barcelona is going great in friendlies and they look like they are ready for the new season. Ousmane Dembele has an incredible performance. It looks like Lewandowski and Dembele will carry the team's goal load. Raphinha and Memphis will also be helpful. If Ansu Fati also has a good season, Barcelona will be the number one contender for the championship. This season will be very different from last season. They had good signals about it. I'm very excited already and can't wait to see Rayo Vallecano game.

The real proving match after La Liga started, however I have to give high appreciation to Xavi who has brought his team to good performance even though it's only a friendly match, but this is a good starting point to fight in a real match.
Dembele was absolutely outstanding in the friendly, as was Raphinha whose hard shot was unstoppable by the Real Madrid goalkeeper.
However, it is a pity that Lewandowski has not given his first goal for Barcelona.
This summer will be a fierce battle for Real Madrid and Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title.

I really don’t think that Barcelona has faced any problems yet. They don't have any problems, they have not yet been thoroughly tested. So far we have seen only friendly matches being played against Barcelona. Believe it or not, honestly, no one actually cares about friendly matches. The real test for the team will come when the league starts.

I hope Barcelona will be able to play more effectively and also start more strongly than they did last season. I also hope that the players in the Barcelona team will be able to begin playing well from the start of the season. I know some players are going to be a bit rusty. But they will have to start better if they want to finish better. With a squad like this Barcelona should be able to challenge Real Madrid quite closely in the next season for the La Liga trophy.

Exactly I don't see friendly game to be so Real that, most players don't really take it serious by stressing themselves much because at the end nothing comes out from it. Friendly match is just a preparation for the main league . Barcelona performance in the friendly game is quite okay, but I'm still sure they will do better when the main league starts.

From the game, the problem I see is the midfield, there are no players who face and go forward, they always play backwards or to the sides, Di María is the only one who tries. And the sides are a mess. Bremer positively went out to play and made filtered passes, Perin should be a starter at least to test if he is at a good level, Rovella and Fagioli continue to leave good feelings.

[emrecemsan]

Real Madrid showed us today that they prepared well for this season by having a solid performance against Juventus. Maybe Barcelona are attracting most of the attention these days but we shouldn't overlook Real Madrid for the title also. They are the last champions already and they are still very strong and maybe even better. I just wish to follow a championship competition between them until the end of the season. Because when one of them opens the gap too much the league starts to be boring.

Friendly match is just a preparation for the main league . Barcelona performance in the friendly game is quite okay, but I'm still sure they will do better when the main league starts.

That's why I've often said that friendly matches cannot be a parameter that Barcelona will definitely play well in La Liga. Because friendly matches
usually players can play freely without any burden and there is no pressure to win the game. So it's not necessarily if Barcelona are very good
in friendly matches, then they can play well in La Liga too. But indeed there is a positive impact that can be obtained if Barcelona win a lot of
friendly matches, it can increase confidence when playing in La Liga.

After all Xavi must have done a lot of experiments in friendly matches, so when Barcelona played in La Liga Xavi could have played a different strategy.
Perhaps what is interesting about the friendly matches that have been played by Barcelona is that Lewandowski as the main player has not yet scored
a goal, while Memphis Depay, who is rumored to be sold by Barcelona, ​​has so far scored two goals in friendlies. This leaves Xavi in ​​a dilemma,
whether to still sell Depay or keep it.

[TelolettOm]

The next question is, will some players survive the pay cut? Or are these many players' purchases really worth the payoff? Because after all, Barcelona is still not out of the financial crisis. Although they may use some strategies to face financial problems.

Cutting players' wages is not the solution to the financial problem. When they signed the contract with Barcelona the players had a clearly stated amount of money they should be paid, in this case the team is in breach of the terms. How the players tolerate this I cannot understand because it is nonsense. You could tell the players to play for free...

Of course, this will not last long, especially the salary cuts for old players at Barcelona. This is also not fair, right? And if they don't agree with the idea, it probably won't last long, especially if they've contributed well. There are several Barcelona players who are still in a dilemma. However, it turns out that Barcelona still wants to add more players.

[lalabotax]

In this case actually some time ago there was some speculation about him and Juventus but it looks like this has to go away because indeed Juventus are now in the final settlement process with Zaniolo.

Do you mean Juventus want to sign him previously?
If Juventus is interested to sign him, it is better to move to Juventus than move to Tottenham. I guess Depay will have a chance to play more often in Juventus, while in Tottenham he probably will spend much time on the bench because they already have enough strikers. Juventus has 3 strikers now, but most of them are under 22 years old. Juventus still needs an experienced striker like Depay.

But seriously, as you said if he really cares about his career then he should leave as soon as possible from the Camp Nou.

Of course, leaving Barcelona is a must to have a better career. If Depay stays in Barcelona, he will ruin his career because he will rarely play there.

[JeromeTash]

Real Madrid showed us today that they prepared well for this season by having a solid performance against Juventus. Maybe Barcelona are attracting most of the attention these days but we shouldn't overlook Real Madrid for the title also.

I still refuse to use friendlies as a basis to conclude that a team will perform so well or so poorly in the league. We have had past examples where teams have done so well or poorly in the friendlies only to perform differently in the league.
Last summer, Barcelona lost only 1 friendly game. Real Madrid did even win any game if I recall well, but we all know how things turned out in the league.

madrid is really amazing, if juve is able to draw with barca then not with Madrid. many speculated that this final result happened because of pogba's absence, but the good news is that juventus will bring in pjanic (to fill the vacancy in the potential midfield position).

More people need to realize that this friendly means nothing and they can't do any calculations based on this. Of course there will be some people who will want to, but that would be a wrong move.

Odds could change based on these, but not because providers thinks so, but because people wager heavily on one side and less on the other side which forces providers to change the odds to level the risk for them, since it would be them losing a lot of money based on what people wager if they do not change it then it would be taking on big risks. This is why I believe that we shouldn't be responsible for friendlies but when you are betting, you have to check each game as if that mattered.

How Real Madrid is ready for the season will be judged only after the official matches begin and the first rounds of the championship are held. Friendly matches are still more a way to play new combinations and look at the players of the nearest reserve, rather than trying to show the real level of the team, because in such matches usually no one will take much risk, especially the leaders, risking losing them due to injuries, so it's still worth making allowances for the exhibition nature of this match. Although, of course, any victory is pleasant and cheers up the players of the winning team, but I don't think that Juventus, for example, will be very worried about their defeat.

You're kidding, this has nothing to do with Pogba because when Barcelona played Juventus, Pogba didn't play there before lol.
Juventus tried something new and different from usual because they put 3 strikers up front which made their midfield weak in this match because they are not used to the 4-3-3 formation so this is indeed one of the things that Madrid have taken advantage of. can maximize the flow of the ball in midfield comfortably.

What's the point of friendlies if the coach doesn't try other tactics and test as many players as possible.. Result doesn't really matter in these games since the conditions are very different from real competitions.
Real Madrid will play vs Frankfurt in August 10, we will see how fit the club will be this season few days before the beginning of La Liga matches.

[jakdanyel]

Real Madrid's performance against Juventus was very satisfying to me. It was a good rehearsal for the La Liga. Real Madrid didn't make so many changes in the team and they didn't need that much too. The current strength of the squad is way enough to fight for the league championship once again. This time they would have a more competitive run with Barcelona. Real Madrid are going on with Benzema this season too and I can't wait to see his performance again. He has been in a pretty good shape so far.

[Ahli38]

Barcelona is going great in friendlies and they look like they are ready for the new season. Ousmane Dembele has an incredible performance. It looks like Lewandowski and Dembele will carry the team's goal load. Raphinha and Memphis will also be helpful. If Ansu Fati also has a good season, Barcelona will be the number one contender for the championship. This season will be very different from last season. They had good signals about it. I'm very excited already and can't wait to see Rayo Vallecano game.

Barcelona seriousness in overhauling the team began to bear fruit, the cohesiveness of the team began to be seen in every friendly match. Barcelona attack line looks scary, Xavi has many options to fill the post on the front lines. Lewandowski and Aubameyang can switch positions as center forwards, Raphinha and Dembele can be relied on on the right wing, while for the left wing there are Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres. Xavi can also change his formation from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3 if needed, relying on Chistensen, Kounde and Ronald Araujo at the back. The 3-4-3 formation is more flexible with the composition of the squad that Barcelona currently has.

correctly. the composition of players in barcelona is really very good. even seeing the barcelona match made me a little surprised. because even the new players who were brought in were already able to adapt immediately. they play comfortably. and that makes Barcelona will be a team that will be seeded. it's not in vain that Barcelona spend a lot of money in the player transfer market this season. my appreciation for barcelona.

Barcelona's success in the transfer market is due to the genius of Xavi, I see it that way. For example, when Xavi said he needed Lewandowski in his squad, Barcelona tried hard to bring him in despite continuous rejection from Munich. Now Barcelona officials can breathe a sigh of relief because the players who are brought in can adapt to the team style of play. Xavi needs to bring in one more player to fill the post at right-back, and fortunately Xavi desire has again received a positive response from club officials. Now Barcelona is negotiating the signing of Azpilicueta from Chelsea.
