La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[kro55]

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.

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.

Lack of maximum in the final finishing is still visible, this point will be additional work for Xavi. The mix of players still needs to be improved and the passes from the midfield are also still very lacking. When Era Xavi was still a player, Barcelona midfield was very good and neat, many goals were created from the collaboration between midfielders and strikers. Now that breakthrough passes from midfield have rarely been successfully executed into goals, Xavi must find a midfielder who is able to regulate the tempo of the game as he had done when he was still wearing a Barcelona uniform.

Despite not getting full points, I wouldn't say Barcelona played badly. Barcelona players were able to maintain their dominance throughout the match. But Rayo Vallecano played a defensive strategy throughout the match. They did not attempt any attack. Barcelona players were unable to score against 10 defenders. However, Barcelona's gameplay will gradually become more stable. And I would say Barcelona is a worthy contender for this season's title

Barcelona surprised everyone clearly but I don't wait for Real Madrid to do the same also. Almeria have promoted to the La Liga newly but I don't think they are capable enough to stop Real Madrid even at the beginning of the season. Real Madrid's performance vs Frankfurt in the UEFA Super Cup match was impressive and I'm waiting for them to carry that to this match also. Benzema - Vinicius Jr duo would show a good performance I think and they would leave the match by an acceptable result.

Real Madrid are a war machine, last season they really did a lot. I honestly don't think it's easy to be able to match these champions with a team that has been playing together for a long time and therefore knows each other (and wins).
But Barcelona could surprise us.

[Avirunes]

Real Madrid only brought in a few players who were considered capable of being additions and also covered some weaknesses last season, I think Real Madrid this season is quite efficient in transferring players and they may think the current squad is quite capable.

They are a good squad and with the two new signings I think that makes the squad complete. I don't see any need of further players and welcome unnecessary spending. Still in next transfer window or next year there might be need of some new players but as of now feels like they are complete.

I also read the news in several media, with the many trophies achieved by ancelotti of course he not needs to prove again his capacity as a great coach and it is time for him to retire at the peak of his career with Real Madrid.

Yeah he did said that Real Madrid is gonna be the last club he managed but we also don't know when he will plan to confirm his career end. It could be next year or maybe 3-4 years. His career at Madrid has been remarkable and its still on but last season was one of his best season at Madrid with such difficult tasks accomplished.

FC Barcelona 0 - 0 Rayo Vallecano



and they did it again, last season, and before last season i already lost my bets whenever i bet on barcelona, for a moment i was crazy and optimistic to bet on them, honestly i'm very sorry, they drew against a weak team, even them having the best players, what the hell is going on with barcelona? It's not normal to play so badly constantly, what a pathetic way of playing was that? they weren't even in sync on the field. it felt like each player was playing individually and wanted attention. it can't be like that. that way they won't get far this season

Xavi has become Barcelona's worst coach in the last 20 years - the percentage of games he has won is slightly over 50%. With such results, the bet on Barcelona really looks like an inevitable loss. Therefore, I am very annoyed by the noise about Xavi and the "revival" of Barcelona that began last year and with all these crazy purchases it has become even louder.

In the meantime, Real Madrid's championship quote has changed from 2.15 -> 2.00 this year

But Barcelona could surprise us.

a lot of things about Barcelona this season have taken me by surprise so when they make another surprise I won't be surprised anymore. but what surprised me the most was in the Rayo vs Barca match yesterday, Barca couldn't make even 1 goal even though their new player became a starter, the next match that will be played by barca, will definitely end with another surprise.

[trendcoin]

Real Madrid will enter the new season with the Almeria match. Their rivals Almeria finished the Spanish 2nd League as champions last season. This match will be a match between two champions. :) I think Real Madrid -the last champion of La Liga- will easily win this match despite being away. It would be a clear surprise for me if Real Madrid lose points in this match.

[Issa56]

Real Madrid will visit Almeria in their first match. At first glance this would be a win for them. Real Madrid are at the peak of high confidence having won the trophy before this match. But they should not underestimate the opponent they will face this time. Maybe Almeria will give a surprise. Like it would be interesting if we bet on this match.

Another thing Madrid would like to capitalize on is the barcelona slip.Winning a trophy before a match gives confidence to the players and the difference between the two teams is a big one. I will be betting on real Madrid to win without hindrances.

[el kaka22]

I think that this game was simply just unlucky and nothing more. Barcelona played one of the best games I have seen from them in a long while. I mean even last year of Messi wasn't "this" good, Messi was good but the others weren't that much. This team looks all around great and there is a good chance that they could end up with something decent all over again.

I believe that the best thing to do now would be making sure that Barcelona keeps this up. If they play like this, they won't be unlucky all the time, they will surely score some goals and even have great results as well. I see a bunch of goals in their future with this type of amazing offense.

I already seen Real Madrid 4-3-3 formation this time just to score goals, it would be a massacre at the start of their season. Real Madrid must at least make 4 goals to top the standings, h2h match between the both is always won by Benzema and his friends with an average difference of 3 goals. I don't think it's difficult this time for Real Madrid to win, but they will fight for goals score a lot.

[Zackgeno96]

Almeria - Real Madrid have also started and are still 0-0 but we are also only 2 minutes away. I expect a game that will start late because of the heat. Usually Real Madrid take it easy before half time and most goals are all scored after half time. Real Madrid is a team that usually concedes easy goals in the competition, but if you score 5 yourself then it doesn't matter. That is also the image of Real Madrid. My estimation is that it could be 0-0 at half time and that the final score will be 0-3. Daring, but not impossible. Barcelona have already dropped points so Real Madrid can already make a small gap.

[Tumanggor]

Almeria's first match in the Spanish League  is against Madrid, this is definitely a tough match for them even though Almeria are the hosts

madrid's chances of winning are almost 80%, my final prediction for this match is 3-0 for madrid's victory

[ingiltere]

We have analysed and watch much is very well to the extent off not to be desperate when a particular club loses it's match so at times. Sometimes I do not come tomorrow to any club or underestimate any club because I believe that if they do not make it today maybe in the next tournament they will make it because of changing of player is involved so all those things is not what for a argument but what is that mine is the ability of a particular club to restrategize for the benefit of the club

What language is that? Because clearly it's not English.

Valencia got a home victory even though they were one man down. Gattuso know how to keep the score so this one is his signature tactic. Carlos Soler scored a goal before half time, that made things easier for Valencia. Eray Cömert got a red card in second half but Valencia still controlled the game. They didn't let Girona to attack. When they find winning goal it's hard for opponents to beat Valencia. This season won't be easy for Valencia just like last couple of seasons but if they finish in European competition qualification range that would be more than enough.

You lost your bet already. Almeria scored a goal just when you made this post.

[Jody.Drummer]

Real Madrid are in for a shock now, 10 minutes into the game they were forced to take the ball out of their net thanks to an unexpected quick goal from Largie Ramzani.
It's a bit of a shock for Madrid but there's still a long time to go, and I think they will definitely turn this into a reversal because they are still superior in terms of quality.

UD Almeria 1 - 0 Real Madrid

well, at 6 minutes into the game and we are already losing to a new team in the league, very sad, to make matters worse we are not playing with casemiro and Luka Modrić, without these two players on the field we have very little power for the balls to go to the forwards that can lead us to draw or lose in this game, I see that today I will also lose my multi bet, I don't know why the hell I decided to bet on the Spanish teams in this first game, even though I'm a real madrid fan they can be inconsistent in the league, that's why that I shouldn't have bet on them in the first game

It’s not Real Madrid who is shocked now, but I, because when I saw that Real missed a goal in the first minutes, I decided to quickly add a bet on it and accidentally bet on Almeria  I had to immediately cash out and make the correct bet on Real with odds of 1.85. Now the winnings will be a little less since the cash out has eaten 25% of the wrong bet  The first time I made such a childish mistake.

[Porfirii]

Well, a few days ago we were talking in this same thread about how the first matches in the Liga use to be surprising, maybe because the teams are still cold or because we have not so much information about the physical condition of the players neither. We were talking about Barcelona, but we are seeing it since the first minutes of the current Madrid's game.

Haha , I wish I had that luck when I place bets haha

I do have a feeling that Real won't lose today but this could be a draw by the end of the game. Real is dominating the game , have good ball possession and they are creating good chances to score in the 1st half as we are only 5 minutes away from first half ending and if they keep the same pressure in 2nd half , they should score.

[JeromeTash]

Ancelotti made it quite clear that there were going to be more rotations this season unlike last season, so expect more of the player rotations along the season. Modric and Casemiro aren't going to play forever. Therefore, it's better Real Madrid prepare the youngsters early enough. I sort of side with Ancelotti on the rotations.

[BIT-BENDER]

Is this going to be another crazy season? It’s half time and Real Madrid are losing to almeria this after Barcelona played out a draw to Rayo vallacano. Well I think forty five minutes is still more than enough time for Real Madrid to turn the game in its head but as a Barcelona lover I would hope the game ends like this and it’s would give Barcelona the advantage over Real Madrid.

Madrid Victory ? No that's the end of your prediction.
Madrid needs to find their way into the game.
As it stand thru need to level to score before trying to win.
