La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Luzin]

They need to present some new players to the fans and they need to try at all cost to get things back in line. This season could seriously get out of control for them very early on.
Real is still well equipped for the season and they could even make another transfer until the end of August. Maybe they come up with a surprise.

Actually, the reason madrid let casemiro go was because he was old. Modric and kros may in the next season be gone. I was actually quite surprised he left, even Madrid have not been active in the transfer market much this season. Indeed, they still have time, but it seems that there are only 2 weeks left before the end of the transfer market. Casemiro has always been the top choice alongside Modric and Kros. Of course, Anceloti must immediately find his plaintiff. But to date I haven't read the news of the transfer insu for madrid. I hope they are still able to compete with his departure.

Tomorrow is the match between Barcelona vs Real Sociedad. This should be a match that Xavi must get with the maximum score. Because if Barcelona performance still doesn't show aggressiveness for the umpteenth time, it means that the balance of new players has not been fully matched. I hope Xavi uses this as an opportunity to prove that the Barcelona club can also improve things very well.

Somehow I doubt Barcelona can win today especially when they play away Barcelona seemed to get a curse when playing with a great team but it was difficult to win
I don't see weaknesses in the Barcelona team each player has an average ability but still did not find cohesiveness, does it take more time for them to build it?

Is it because Barcelona got a draw in the first game that doubts arise in you.
Calm down buddy, Xavi will not repeat the same mistake, he will excite his players to get full points in the second match. Barcelona's luxury squad has not been able to work well in the first match, their final finishing is also still less than optimal. As a genius coach, Xavi will soon fix the shortcomings in his squad, because they also want to achieve the best results against Sociedad.

Looks like you misjudged Barcelona, Barcelona have no trouble winning when they play away, you can see the statistics of the last 5 meetings of the two teams.

22-04-2022 Sociedad 0-1 Barcelona (La Liga)
16-08-2021 Barcelona 4-2 Sociedad (La Liga)
22-03-2021 Sociedad 1-6 Barcelona (La Liga)
14-01-2021 Sociedad 1-1 Barcelona (Super Cup)
17-12-2020 Barcelona 2-1 Sociedad (La Liga).

I am curious about today's Real Sociedad - Barcelona game. In the first game of the season, Barcelona disappointed their fans with a goalless draw with Rayo. The lack of the team's victory spoiled the debut of Robert Lewandowski. Today it may also be hard to get 3 points, because Real Sociedad can be very dangerous, especially in their stadium.

yes, Barca's chances of victory in my opinion are quite good for the match against Sociedad. Not because Barca failed to win in the first match and that would make Xavi's squad performance even lower. they will perform better, I'm sure of that.
on the other hand, not because Sociedad managed to get a win in their first game against Cadiz would allow them to beat Barca. Barca's level with Cadiz will be very different. and Sociedad will feel it in the game later.

Thirty years is still not that old these days. He is healthy and a very solid player. I would say that he has at least three to four years on the highest level possible. Look at Modric who is going to turn 37 very soon. He still understands the game perfectly well and makes up for his age through brilliant positioning on the field. You really don't need to be the fastest on the field if you have an edge over others when it comes to reading and controlling a game.

You can't compare him to Modric though. Modric is one of the few exceptions. Even Toni Kroos who used to be so brilliant has slowed down, and it's quite clear it's because of age.
What we should actually first look at is if he can cope up in the Premier League before we even think if he will be good for the next four years.

You might be right here, but Kroos hasn't been the quickest player ever anyway. He was always about slowing the game down in many situations and rather play it calm. It's true that Modric is an exception, but if Casemiro stays healthy he might be competitive enough for a couple of years. Yet, as you said, the Premier League is a different beast and we need to see whether or not he is able to constantly keep up in challenging games against all the top teams. Four years is a long way to go, I agree. It might also depend on how he manages to get used to the new speed and physical intensity.

You're right, this makes quite a bit of sense, and plus Xavi's confidence so far has proven that he is far more capable of making this club grow fast enough. Regardless of the pros and cons regarding finances, management, and salary reductions, that's all the manager's job, not the coach's. So when we see no improvement, it's clearly wrong. Xavi led the club in the middle of last season and last season's results finished in the standings 2. It is possible that after the reshuffle and the start of the season with Xavi, at least Barcelona could be better.

casemiro is not very old, he is still 30 years old and very likely to give his best performance for 3 more seasons. but his departure was Casemiro's wish and Real Madrid have never held back anyone wanting to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
because money might be one of the reasons Casemiro wanted to move to Manchester United.
but what is very unfortunate is that Real Madrid does not have a midfield match to replace Casemiro, because since the last few seasons Casemiro has always been the first choice with Modric and Toni Kroos. It will be a very heavy loss for Real Madrid and I think they will be very difficult to find a replacement for the next few seasons.
and for now maybe Real Madrid will only rely on their young players and no big transfers will happen.

The lack of the team's victory spoiled the debut of Robert Lewandowski. Today it may also be hard to get 3 points, because Real Sociedad can be very dangerous, especially in their stadium.

Last night Real madrid won big against celta vigo and made their position at the top of the standings, so I hope barcelona can also win in its second week today so that at least they can keep their distance from madrid, I'm not a barcelona fan but I also don't want to seeing madrid running alone without any pressure from other clubs, especially barcelona, ​​even though playing at home to Real Sociedad, I hope barcelona can get full points because then we will see the competition in the standings is tight.

[zaki12]

Yes Real Madrid has abundant stock in the position left by Casemiro. However, their quality has not been seen whether they are worthy and can replace the position left by Casemiro or not. It took time I think to create the ideal midfielder after Casemiro left. I personally have a lot of confidence in Real Madrid, because they can form players who are ready to fill the void. Moreover, the players definitely want to show their best game to appear regularly at the club.

great performance tchouameni, He's the successor to Casemiro and a very precise camavinga. Spectacular Vinicius, as always, attentive Benzema. Valverde has played well so far, despite failing to find Modric with a free-kick. Very good game and keep it up, HALA MADRID!
Maybe one of the reasons Casemiro decided to move was also because he trusted his current colleagues at Madrid, one of whom was Tchouameni.

That's very true besides that with the successive wins that have been obtained by Real Madrid of course it will make Barcelona obliged to steal victory against Sociedad,
With the purchases that have been made by Barcelona, it will be a big pressure if you don't get full points

[ILuckyGuyI]

Losing Casemiro is bad news for Real Madrid because he was the player whom they trusted the most when it comes to the defensive midfield position. They have their new youngsters also of course but we will see if they will be able to play as good as him in a short time. On the other hand Manchester United are going to pay a huge salary to him which isn't a very smart move. He is already 30 years old in the end.

It's time to step up. There was no doubt it would happen, but we didn't know it would be Casemiro. It is important for young guns to fire as quickly as possible. Is it possible for Camavinga to replace Casemiro's space? Camavinga and Valverde are both creative, as well as defensive. There is also talent in Tchouameni, but he still needs to improve a lot. As long as the forwards remain the same after Casemiro leaves, bad days are ahead. It's obvious that Real Madrid has a plan in place, they aren't stupid. In this case, the transition will not be smooth and it may take a long time for things to get back to normal.

Camavinga can be a great replacement for Casemiro after some time passes. He is a great talent and he can play in not only the central midfield but also the defensive midfield position. Maybe Ancelotti would prefer a duo like him and Tchouameni in the midfield later on. Because they are aiming to make the midfield younger and more durable. Real Madrid are making the right investments for their squad for now.

Atletico Madrid - Villarreal

this will undoubtedly be a great match, Atletico is in good shape and Villareal showed good results in the last games, but they have a weaker defense than Atletico's, both teams have scored many goals, but I think Atletico will come out with draw or win in this game

this is one of the interesting matches that must be watched today, from head to head both teams in the last 5 matches ATM won 2 times and drew 3 times against Villareal. Villareal is also not an easy team so it is most likely a slim win that will happen, my prediction is 1-0 (ATM win).

[Ratash]

The lack of the team's victory spoiled the debut of Robert Lewandowski. Today it may also be hard to get 3 points, because Real Sociedad can be very dangerous, especially in their stadium.

Barcelona is allways a bad match up for sociedad team they have a good record against them last season they won both games comfortably i think barcelona first game was just a fluke they played really well they just needed a goal which they couldn't score i think they will get better with each passing game since lewandowski and raphinha will get more time to play together.

Real Madrid will now certainly want to build a youth-oriented team. At the same time, Carlo Ancelotti said in a news portal that he will end his coaching career after his retirement as Real Madrid coach. He will certainly want to do his best to build a stable and strong Real Madrid team. At the moment he will build a stable team with young players, these players can give Real Madrid a long service. As a replacement for Casemiro, I would say Eduardo Camavinga is the best choice. Maybe Eduardo Camavinga will be a little late to adapt to the team.

[Velvet78]

After selling Casemiro there are new rumours regarding Real Madrid these days. One of them is that they are planning to use the money came from the Casemiro transfer for signing Jude Bellingham before the transfer window closes. But I don't think this will go further than being a rumour. Because Dortmund stated some time ago that Bellingham is not for sale this season.

With the purchases that have been made by Barcelona, it will be a big pressure if you don't get full points

Of course there will be a big of pressure for Barcelona, by signing Lewandowski and other if doesn't win every game they will only be booed by the fans. At the end of the previous season this team has been very good and has become a hope, if the current team changes make down performance like the beginning of last season it will be not good, for the temporary board standings because current competition will be difficult. Anyway match be against Sociedad shouldn't be a big problem for Barcelona to get full points.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Barcelona will still try as much as possible to return to being the best in La Liga.  the arrival of new players is a valuable capital to boost the dignity of El Barca to be respected again.

The new players also have to adjust to Barcelona so they can work with the old players at Barcelona. Because the result in Barcelona's first match of the season, it was something that was very surprising where Barcelona was only able to play in a draw with his opponent Rayo Vallecano and it proved that the cooperation of the players in Barcelona was not so optimal.

Barcelona first draw was unexpected I must say, even barça coach, Xavi Hernandez was impressed about his first game of the season ends in draw. But the bluagrana would look to do better in their second game, because this time as they are coming, full force from all angles. The defense line, the centre room which is the Midfield and attacking force all combined will formulated goals in their next game. Besides their new players are sharp and adapts pretty well with the club pattern of games.

All they need now is three points today
They need three points to start a great journey.
The sale of Casemiro doesn't open them to new signing
The move has given some players also a chance to shine

Barcelona is clearly a team that is playing with the desperation of all its directors, especially with Xavi, I really admire Xavi's patience and I admire if this man actually manages to sleep at night, because with so much pressure I wouldn't like it being in their shoes, I imagine that the only thing that Xavi thinks about is the victories that Barcelona has to give and go as far as possible in the league and in the UCL, because the opponents that he has are very powerful, besides that he will have in front of a renewed Real Madrid and with a very solid team, and on the other hand a very strong Atletico de Madrid.

I am curious about today's Real Sociedad - Barcelona game. In the first game of the season, Barcelona disappointed their fans with a goalless draw with Rayo. The lack of the team's victory spoiled the debut of Robert Lewandowski. Today it may also be hard to get 3 points, because Real Sociedad can be very dangerous, especially in their stadium.

That's very true besides that with the successive wins that have been obtained by Real Madrid of course it will make Barcelona obliged to steal victory against Sociedad,
With the purchases that have been made by Barcelona, it will be a big pressure if you don't get full points

Of course there will be a big of pressure for Barcelona, by signing Lewandowski and other if doesn't win every game they will only be booed by the fans. At the end of the previous season this team has been very good and has become a hope, if the current team changes make down performance like the beginning of last season it will be not good, for the temporary board standings because current competition will be difficult. Anyway match be against Sociedad shouldn't be a big problem for Barcelona to get full points.

This is undoubtedly a double-edged sword for Barcelona, if we take into account that the great effort that Barcelona has made not only signing Lewa but also more players, we have witnessed that they have even gotten into debt in a way impressive, if they don't get the results things are going to get complicated and very ugly, this is something that they are putting in danger, and I admire Xavi's ability to make the entire manager risk it and believe in him, if things they turn out well, I'd be happy (although I'm not a fan of them) but I admire their ability to risk everything, in part it gives me emotion and I don't want to be in their shoes, God help them sincerely.

Barcelona shared the points in the first match. Barcelona should get full points against weaker teams from the start if they want to win the title. If not, Barcelona will be far behind in the fight for the title. Barcelona needs to get full points against Real Sociedad by any means. Otherwise, Barcelona will be 4-5 points behind Real Madrid.

[mv1986]

Of course, Anceloti must immediately find his plaintiff. But to date I haven't read the news of the transfer insu for madrid. I hope they are still able to compete with his departure.

Well, if you look at the average age of Real Madrid's squad it has always been relatively high. Casemiro with his 30 years of age wasn't a statistical outlier. They definitely need to come up with a plan for the near future regarding Kroos and Modric. I still think it is possible that they will extend the contracts even for another year for both players if they don't get injured and play on a high level. Kroos is 32 years now and will turn 33 next year. I think it is quite likely that he will extend the contract slightly. I don't think he is planning to transfer to another club anymore. He doesn't seem to be the guy who is now going to LA Galaxy or whatever. On the other hand he once said that he doesn't want to play way beyond his peak and then look like a grandpa on the soccer field. Two important personalities that soon need to be replaced. If they don't extend their contracts that would literally mean that Real Madrid is about to substitute almost the whole midfield with Kroos, Modric and Casemiro. Time for a new generation it seems.

[Zackgeno96]

Atletico Madrid will soon start their home game against. Villareal. Atletico are the bookmakers' favorites with 1.86 at 1x2 but Villareal has done quite well in Europe in recent years and Atletico has not really accomplished anything. I wouldn't be surprised if Villareal even win this match. The compact Atletico of a few years ago is little left, while on paper they have become stronger with Griezman back. Atletico became champion once a few years ago but that will certainly not happen again this season and the coming seasons.
