La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Rabi3]

Frenkie de Jong doesn't seem to be in the starting eleven indeed. In fact, Xavi made a new statement like he would like to see him staying here but they still didn't know what would happen until the end of the transfer window. Maybe this ambiguity played some role in this. Anyway it is still very good to see that trio in the attacking line. They are all very deadly players in terms of productivity. I expect them to perform solid.

Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Andreas Christensen made their debut for the club and it is good to see that the team is trying to build up the team right from the start of the season and unfortunately for the punters the scorecard did not move as it was an uneventful match and ended up being a goalless match. Will see how they will perform later in the tournament against quality opponents  .

it was a disappointing match for the fans, and I know almost everyone expected them to win, but still I don't think it's that critical, as long as they step up their game and play better in the upcoming rounds, a lot of pressure was being put on them, they dominated the whole but weren't lucky to score, it happens to a lot of big teams from time to time, they will get through it.

A very surprising result in the inaugural match of the La Liga 2022/2023 season, which Sevilla lost to Osasuna. Even though Sevilla are favorites
to win, moreover Sevilla's position the previous season was much better than Osasuna. I agree that Sevilla's attack was less effective even though
they had the ball possession up to 66%, while Osasuna, who only had 34% control of the ball, could take more shots on goal than Sevilla.
This means that the attacks built by Osasuna are indeed more effective in that match.

If we consider the position of both clubs in previous season, Sevilla is clearly superior and favorite to win with big scores. In the last season, Sevilla finished in 4th place, while Osasuna finished in 10th place. There is a big gap between Sevilla and Osasuna position. However, sometimes the result in football match is unpredictable, small club can surprise us to beat bigger club. The loss of Sevilla in the first match this season is a perfect example.

Well, Sevilla can dominate the ball possession but they failed to take advantage of it. Ideally, by dominating the ball possession, Sevilla must make more goal attempts. So, the chance to score can be bigger.

[X-ray]

Barcelona were very determined to win the game but they couldn't score even one goal after all that effort. Vallecano are still like a nightmare for them because they defeated Barcelona two times last season as well. I hope that this result was all about being unlucky for Barcelona. This lineup is very capable of fighting for the championship. Hopefully they won't lose many more points like this.

I called those new players of barcelona were actually overrated players. Their performance in the pre season can't be the same like when it will be entered into the season. So many clubs even like MU has a very hard time during the season. This line up is not yet proven.
You are seeing how lewandowski was contributing a lot to its team in bundesliga but yeah it's bundes man not la liga. Real madrid may win the first game.

[Ratash]

An unexpected and rather disapointing result for barcelona especially after the hype that came with their good signing they managed to secure but neither lewandowski or raphinha managed to score from all those chances they had and now its a good chance for real madrid to profit from barcelona loss, When they face almeria.

[Prince Malik]

Its definitely not the best way to start a season for barcelona but im not saying a reason for this big frustration among FCB fans, the club wasn't bad with more than 21 goal attempts but the luck wasn't in their side but im sure the club will have much better results in the incoming matches

[lizarder]

I really sympathy with loss of my friends at here, I also lost but yesterday when I bet on Sevilla. The start of season is not an easy thing to predict, I believe that. How Barcelona made a lot of kicks but didn't score a goals, it proves that the star players still not yet compatible in with this team, It seems Xavi has to think more and more for next week versus Sociedad.

Barcelona still have to fix some weak points, the team has not played together collectively, so they have not been able to take advantage of scoring opportunities, Xavi has a lot of work to do this season, the new players have not performed optimally in the first game of the season, unlike last year. -The previous year, Barcelona seemed to have lost confidence in playing, so they couldn't take advantage of opportunities to score goals, still lucky the opponent also had difficulty scoring goals, so both of them could only get 1 point.

lots of support sometimes create great pressure too. But so far I don't think it's too disappointing. although of course everyone hopes for victory. and this goalless result also actually made me a little disappointed. But I believe in the next match they will perform better. and can achieve more wins.

It was a disaster, it's just it, a x$%& "x" reverend, leave luck to the small teams and if you don't understand the frustration of the Barcelona fans, you don't know the meaning of FCB.

This brings back very short history with Rayo, just remember what happened a few months ago, in fact surely there is no short memory in that sense with the followers and fans of Barcelona.

A draw in their first game of the season was certainly not what Barcelona expected, especially since they had just brought in some great players in the transfer market. Actually Barcelona played well in this match, Barcelona dominated the game with possession of the ball reaching 69 percent. Xavi Hernandez's troops also managed to release 19 shots with 5 of them aiming right at Rayo Vallecano's goal. Barcelona players struggled to score against Vallecano, until the match ended not a single goal was scored in this match.
Xavi must find the magic potion in the next game, Barcelona must not lose any more points in the second match.

That's what's interesting about football matches, where sometimes there are surprises and the results are not as expected. Like Sevilla's defeat
against Osasuna, which the result of the match was beyond the expectations of many people, where Sevilla dominated the match and also had
better quality players than Osasuna. But the surprise happened where Osasuna managed to win the match after being awarded a penalty
in the 74th minute. I also believe that many gamblers have suffered losses with this Sevilla defeat, I also bet for Sevilla's victory, turned out
to be unexpected.

Apart from Sevilla there are teams that started the season badly, namely Barcelona, which played at home reinforced with several new players,
Barcelona could only play a goalless draw against Rayo. Indeed Barcelona did not lose, but if Barcelona are serious about winning trophies
this season, they should not drop points against a weaker team. We'll see if other strong teams like Real Madrid and Atletico will drop points too,
as did Barcelona and Sevilla in the first round of La Liga.

In the 1st la Liga game, they created a lot of chances, but no goal was scored. In spite of being able to register players, Barcelona is not convincing enough. Unlike us, opposing teams do not see them as we do. A goalkeeper and luck stood in the way of Barcelona's victory against Vallecano. In a first match, the team should have won the first three important points. So, Vallecano has unbeaten in three consecutive LaLiga games against FC Barcelona.

A less convincing start hit Barcelona in the first match of La Liga this season after being held to a draw by visitors Rayo Vallecano. Barcelona immediately dominated the match since the early minutes, but Barcelona players had difficulty penetrating the Vallecano defense. A draw is not Barcelona goal after spending so much money in the transfer market, Xavi must fix Barcelona weak points in the attacking sector. The collaboration between the midfielders and the attackers has not been well connected, Xavi must not remain silent with the 1 point obtained in the first match, he must be able to build chemistry between the midfield and attack lines to provide more threat to the opposing team.

I think it's just a matter of luck, the Barcelona forwards have done their best, they were able to make 12 shots and had 70% possession but unfortunately they haven't been lucky to score a goal.
Barcelona's team has played very well and this is only the first La Liga game. I'm sure in the future if Barcelona continues to consistently maintain their good game like this, they will get many good results.

Yes, the draw Barcelona hosted Rayo in the first match of the La Liga competition, of course, was not what Barcelona and the fans expected, the first match against Rayo was not a good result but also not a bad result.
Barcelona had control of the ball throughout the match, although Lewandowski and his friends couldn't score a goal, even though the opportunity was there.
I think what Rayo did was right, Rayo played very carefully and relied more on counter-attacks. the result was as expected by the rayo coach with a draw, both get the same 1 point great result for rayo. with a draw i think xavi will have more work to do next.

[hahay]

Played at home against a mediocre team, Barcelona with a fancy squad at their disposal and won in all stats but they only ended in a 0-0 draw, thanks for destroying my parlay bet just because of this Barcelona match. A bad start for Xavi, but even so I personally might still put my trust in them, it's just a shame, Xavi doesn't seem to have the ultimate strategy to deal with situations and conditions like that. If Xavi does not have something that can be used as a weapon in a deadlock, then Barcelona will not get any titles with a squad like that.

[bering]

Statistics showed Rayo Vallecano only had 2 shot on goals during the match and seems since the beginning of match their target only want to playing draw or not lose because they were focus to their defense and for Barcelona seems new players still required time to adapt because on the press conference Xavi said some of them didn't playing such as his expected but because this is just first match so he will evaluated the weakness of Barcelona in that match however unfortunately Sergio Busquets had red card from this match which mean he will be suspended for next match against Sociedad

[Masplanc]

Seems the beginning of the season is always difficult for Barcelona. Barcelona brought in good players for the season and I wasn't expecting their first game to be like this. I have noticed that the performance in preseason match is different from the performance of the main season  league.  Most teams that did well during the preseason games are performing less now.

[zuzie]

An unexpected and rather disapointing result for barcelona especially after the hype that came with their good signing they managed to secure but neither lewandowski or raphinha managed to score from all those chances they had and now its a good chance for real madrid to profit from barcelona loss, When they face almeria.

The draw Barcelona vs Vallecano give points for both, even if Real Madrid manages to beat Almeria tomorrow Barcelona will not be far behind. I corrected yesterday's match because based on the last meeting, Vallecano's win became the basis for me not to doubt the quality of Vallecano, although there were changes in the Barcelona camp but still did not dampen the mentality of Vallecano players.

Yes, it is true, Vallecano has a good record against Barcelona, it is a motivation for them to repeat it. But the disappointment with Barcelona is also fundamental, because the expectations for them are so high especially after so many quality players have gathered here. But this is just the beginning, especially they have not fully recovered. So there is still a chance to improve in the future.

This first week seems to be very difficult for Barcelona because it was held to a draw by Vallecano. Barcelona even though they were already ahead in the game but until the last minute there were no goals that could be created. Even bad luck was experienced by Barcelona in the 90+3 minute because Sergio Busquest got a second yellow card.
It seems that both camps are equally strong so they did not produce any goals.
