La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Z-tight]

Real Madrid are on course with the points, Barcelona seemed to be getting no further but the last half hour they completely outplayed Sociedad. The question is who will be the first to drop points. I'm also curious how much Atletico Madrid and Sevilla can catch up with Barcelona and Madrid.

Barcelona have already dropped points in their first match against Rayo Vallecano when they drew 0-0, but that cannot matter too much now, the season just started, and real madrid are going to drop points too, everybody will drop points, it is now down to who will drop the lowest points. I don't feel Athletico madrid and sevilla has any chance of winning La Liga this season, it is between real madrid and barcelona, i am rooting for barcelona, and now that Casemiro has gone to manchester united, it is good news for barcelona because real madrid are a little bit weaker without Casemiro.

Barcelona has increased their performance and they seem to be more ready since the second match and of course later. This team has a great squad so the chances to collect more points for victories must be there. I am sure that although right now Barcelona is still in the 5 position, in some next matches, the position will be n the top 3.
The fact that Barcelona in this season is much better than previous season will be always related to Real Madrid, how these two giant teams will fight each other to get the La Liga Trophy this season. The El Classico will be more interesting this season, moroever both have strong and solid squad.

Well, the truth is that I didn't understand the reason why Cholo had put his lineup up so aggressively and focused only on attack, 3 defenders could only win a game that got out of hand and also the risk is great and I think very few coaches run those risks, that even the goalkeepers go out to attack when it comes to a corner or a foul, in any case, I don't like how Simeone is doing it or how he is handling it if we are I'm going to put it on a scale From 1 to 10, I would give it a 5, because it is not generating results and it is worrying, especially with the high level of competitiveness in the league.

Well, we can say Simeone did a trial tactic against a strong team like Villarreal. It was a too bad idea, he doesn't consider how poor his defense strength, only focused on finding a way to score. I agree that not many teams have a formation of 3 defenders, mostly the teams are from Serie A. A coach will consider using 3 defenders if they really know the defenders are quite strong. But if the defenders seem rather weak, using 4 defenders is a must. Sadly, Simeone put a midfielder as one of the 3 defenders in the match. It was a very very poor idea for sure.

Despite the fact that Barcelona won City in their last game when both of them met in pre-season ,right now if both teams should use their full squad to play that game, still I'm not gonna risk my money to (bet) on Barcelona to win Manchester City because the strength of Barcelona as at now ,is no way to be compared with the strength of City's squad at the moment.Then looking at it as being a friendly match they're not going to use their full squad , so the bottom line is that the outcome of that game would be base on the team that got good young player, I do believe is likely going to win the game.

I don't expect too much is a very interesting match. I'm not sure what we can see for, this show is for sponsors and entertainment only. What makes me worry is the player getting injured. As we can see Lewandowski just found back is performance (2 goals) if he is a starter, the defender is looking to break him, this has an effect too to next rival from each others.

Indeed, they lost a midfielder who had been a strong wall before entering the defense area. But I don't see them any weaker after losing him. They had anticipated an agreement with Manchester United regarding Casemiro from the start, so they agreed on the release of a player who became one of the mainstays in the squad. They seem to have prepared a new player to fill the void, it might take some time to create a player at the level of Casemiro or even better.

To get a player in a suitable position will not be easy and the coach must always try with several players until finally finding a suitable player to replace Casemiro at least Barcelona still have many midfielders that might be put to good use like for example Franck Kessie, Pedri, Pablo Torre Carral, Miralem Pjanic and Sergio Busquets who can still be tried to fill the midfield position.

Talking about Casemiro replacement, there's already good replacement for him which is tchouameni who did better in their last game for the Los Blancos side which they won  4-1. It's was a good impression to see this young boys pairing with Luka Modric in the Midfield and trust me, they're learning alot from him. Concerning Barcelona, they have complete set of players which Xavi know the perfect one to use at the apporiate time. Barcelona have enough Midfielders than real Madrid at the moment but real Madrid football is tactical and very unique set of players.

[Ahli38]

actually losing Casemiro was unexpected. because so far Casemiro has played very well and contributed a lot to Real Madrid. so indeed Barcelona will benefit from this. But Real Madrid always have a backup plan and their tactics are always effective. although now i tend to see the biggest chance to win is barcelona. because we know the row of players in the barcelona team is really an extraordinary composition. So far in La Liga this season I haven't seen anything surprising. different from in the premier league where every game there is always something surprising. so for me now it's easier to bet on La Liga and avoid betting on Premier League.

The question is who will be the first to drop points. I'm also curious how much Atletico Madrid and Sevilla can catch up with Barcelona and Madrid.

It's hard to guess, even I hope Madrid will not lose points. But one day I'm sure there will be a game that the end result is a draw or even a loss. Keeping the team's performance to always win is difficult. I think both will be number 1 or 2 in the table.
Although I observe the age of barca players is currently better and they can use it for the long term. The young age of barca players is more than madrid. That is Anceloti's task to prepare for regeneration. Although currently anceloti have started selling some of their old players despite being the top choice.

At the moment,Real Madrid is on fire,and they are not yet ready and prepared to loose any match,unless they are faced with a tough opponent like Barcelona,that they will bare in mind that anything can happen,as long as they are a big team,winning them will not be a thing that they will cry over.But apart from Barcelona to be able to win them,Real Madrid are in form at the moment,and they can go on to win any team that comes their way.
It is yet to be seen whether any if these smaller teams will be able to win Madrid,to make them drop points or not.

An impressive victory in the end for Barcelona. A crazy opening in the match, Lewandovsky immediately asserted himself within 1 minute. I was amazed at how quickly Barcelona managed to give up the lead again. After that, Barcelona didn't really have any more chances, but after the 1st half things started to get better. No one thought it would be 1-4 when the halftime score was 1-1. Sociedad seemed to be getting better in the game. It is good that Barcelona have scored a big win, but for a long time it was difficult. In any case, we have seen a great playing Barcelona in the last 25 minutes.

Lewandowski is an experienced striker that understands the skill of right positioning. The first goal came because of right positioning. Real Sociedad came back strong and got two goals. I am not still sure why the second goal was disallowed. But Barcelona's breakthrough came after the introduction of Ansu Fati. Now I have seen why the Guinea-Bissau born Spanish is seen as a future winner of the Ballon d'Or. He was instrumental to all the three goals that came after. Barcelona now has a standard team.    

Barcelona performance against Real Sociedad was a great performance,  that game gave me a good impression about Barcelona this season that they can do better than before.  When I watched Lewandowski performance I remembered a statement made by him when he was newly signed into Barcelona l, that he will help the team to score plenty of goals and to make the team win.i confirmed is assurance with his performance in the match. I'm still certain that Barcelona can lead the laliga league because they have capable squad who are able to do it.

Real has some good players that can become a substitution for casemiro. I believe if that was not a big problem. Real is having so many capable players on its team. Casemiro has been saying about that too. Any team has the same chance to win.
It's not about how strong the team that owned by the team but it's about the consistency from the club to earn full points in any match. You must not forget that if this is la liga where points have become the main target unlike UCL where any club must win the match.
In la liga everything is a bit easy to be predicted

Yes, I agree with you, that Real Madrid have surprising abilities. Their composure is the key to a game that has so far had a good impact on what Real Madrid has achieved. And yes, the seniors who are at Real Madrid will show and give direction to the young players how they can play in this team. Their ability can't be doubted, plus the relationship between the players on this team looks harmonious.

What I salute Real Madrid is that no player puts their ego first when they are in a game and players tend to prefer to work together to win the game.
So it is clear that Real Madrid is still a very solid team at this time and the new players who come to Real Madrid are also always willing to listen to directions from the senior players who are there. In addition to listening to other directions from the coach and carrying out the strategy from the coach.

After sharing points with Rayo Vallecano in the first leg, Barcelona is back on the truck. It was not easy to score 4 goals against a team like Real Sociedad. Barcelona only made 15 shots in this match. 7 of these were on target. Although Barcelona was less attacking, but each attack was very powerful. Barcelona's gameplay is now very organized. They are slowly going to win the title.

I am looking forward to watching Barcelona's friendly match against Manchester City today. This is not an important match though. But the performance of Barcelona in this match can be guessed just how strong they are.

Barcelona coach is doing a great job in this season to move the team higher to her next level, because Barcelona players really demonstrated well through out their last match that made many people to believed that it will be difficult for any team to defeat them in this tournament. It was a great joy to all Barcelona fans for the improvement the new talented players has brought into the team in this season and it will really help them to achieve what they want from any team in this La Liga league competition. I guess, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to lead the tournament in this season, because many teams has signed in new talented players that will assist them to perform better in this season.

Ancelotti do not need to experiment with players who are suitable to fill the position Casemiro has just left, because Madrid already have Aurelien Tchouameni and Ancelotti is ready to rely on him. Aurelien Tchouameni Playing in the same position as Casemiro, he was also assigned as a starter to fill the position of defensive midfielder, the result was very satisfying for the coach. Aurelien Tchouameni is much younger than Casemiro, he is also capable of playing well in guarding the midfield with Modric, Kroos or Camavinga. Casemiro departure does not reduce the stock of the Real Madrid midfielder, because Real Madrid have assessed further before accepting an offer from Manchester United.

For improvement may be true in this case because if you look at their current condition they are one of the candidates.
But what I'm worried about especially as the season goes on is that internal problems in their finances occur again, especially in salary issues.
They faltered last season because of that so it's not impossible if their condition is still not recovered something like this can happen again.

[Alanaz]

I was watching the poll, 126 have voted so far and 86 percent think Real Madrid will win
the reason is, as I have well analyzed, solid team, which has won everything and which performs like a stone crusher
unfortunately the others can only chase (barcelona)
for real competition we talk about it next season, probably (I hope)

It's quite natural when you look at the current condition of Madrid, so there are indeed a lot of people who believe in them this season because in terms of finances and players, it can be said that they are the most stable.
As for Barcelona, which is a competitor, this is also certain because they are currently in the process of reshuffling their club regardless of their financial condition.
Actually I still hope a lot with Atletico but maybe the result will be the same for those who are still struggling.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, that's right, so far no club has really tested the defense of Barcelona. In attack, they look good, but at the back they don't look perfect. We'll have to wait until they face the good in attack, so we can see how their defense works. Maybe their friendly match with Manchester City will test their strength, because Manchester City have the advantage in attack.

That will happen if Manchester City play their core players given the schedule of the busy Premier League then Pep will most likely provide an opportunity for his young players,
We'll see who Pep will bring against Barcelona and regardless of what it is this match will be interesting to see

This can also happen but against a club big enough prestige is at stake and Pep knows that.
Talking about the schedule, they actually have a fairly solid schedule but even if this is a friendly match, there is still prestige when losing the match and there might be sparks like what happened when Madrid and Barcelona in Pre-season some time ago.

Yes, you are right. Casemiro's departure did not overwhelm Real Madrid, although there are several options to replace Casemiro.  but i don't think carlo ancelloti will experiment, aurelien tchouameni is a young player who is as good as any other midfielder.

Real Madrid is actually projecting Tchouameni in its long term plans. however, the sudden departure of casemiro to Old trafford, made ancelotti have extra attention on the midfielders at their disposal.
although in the match against Almeria Tcouameni did not perform optimally, but I think Aurelien Tchouameni will be the starting lineup to replace Casemiro's next position.
