La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[cryptofrka]

Barcelona has a tough game against Villarreal this week, if Real beats Bilbao they will really put Barcelona under a lot of pressure.

There's more and more talk of Messi being furious with the club and I have to admit I really cannot understand their recent transfer dealings. Latest rumors are saying that Messi will not extend his deal beyond next season and since he and Bartomeu are in constant disagreements, the impossible might happen this summer and maybe they will look to sell him to get some value out of that deal.

Still too early to say but Barcelona has a lot of problems - both on and off the pitch.

Real is on course to win the title this season, despite his weak showing against Getafe, he managed to get 3 points. Now Barcelona is suffering so much that it cannot make good offers as before! I think Zidane will destroy Bilbao in the next round to maintain his progress in the ranking ladder, and we also have a real test for Barcelona against Villarreal.

It started good for Espanyol as they scored first goal, but second half was all Real Sociedad with final score 2:1.
I expected to see surprise win, but I guess I was wrong and they are going out from La Liga soon.

Today match Atletico Madrid vs. Mallorca looks like a sure home win, but odds are to low for me to take any risk.
4 players are out for Mallorca.

yeah, this one seems like a really easy one for Atletico, and they will secure their CL spot with this win, but i think that they are thinking about this year CL tournament, since this could be their chance to lift the trophy in Lisbon, with one match in each round, there is no clear favourite and, IMO, Atletico is the best underdog to lift the trophy this season, will see in a month

Judging by this news from spanish radio Cadena Ser, Messi has suspended negotiations to extand the contract with Barcelona.
Messi is outraged by the situation at the club because important information is leaking to the media,  and he doesn't like club president Bartomeo.

He just stopped negotiations for the moment, that's all. There is 1 year left in his contract and they could (WILL) renew it for sure.
Nor Barca want him to leave nor Messi can guarantee that he will be as important in another club as in Barca. He in fact risk being useless (like so many other players) and end his carrier early. Just look how many trophies 1st Argentina national team has with him, yeah nothing.

I am curious and thrilled at the same time just seeing this news that La Liga is dead serious in expanding its presence in North America. To be honest I am really not well versed with the Spanish soccer ( I am asian so my focus is at my own country's team and that of our powerful football neighbors South Korea and China) but I played football in high school and watch plays by Real Madrid and Barca. I'm thinking if La Liga will extend its reach to American viewers, does that mean they also need to create a sub-division like La Liga American teams? I mean the Latin american countries has lots I mean lots of love for football and there is no shortage of great players there but U.S. and Canada? Maybe there is hope.

There is no best club for Messi except Barcelona from the beginning until now. Even though he has the desire to defend his childhood club, but not for now or next year and we never know whether it is just wishful thinking. Many speculation are circulating about the status of Messi contract with Barcelona which will expire soon, but this will only be an unhealthy food intake because eventually Messi will remain a barcelona icon for a long time. Did not in the previous years the same thing also happen with the conditions of the messi contract ?

Lionel Messi had done a good than worst for the club, it's high time he expand his football career just as his rival is doing, doing that would only make him feel joyous and experience new style of plays of different leagues.

I put my trust in Atletico Madrid...
although statistics show that in Atletico's last 15 home games they have never lost but Mallorca cannot be underestimated by Atletico, a slight mistake can embarrass Atletico at home.

I guess that will be a rumor only at the end of the day. Messi is too loyal or loyal milker or whatever and will be the same for couple of more years. He will never leave Barca IMO. Nevertheless, leaving Madrid of Cristiano had no impact on La Liga TBH, but if Messi leaves La Liga, that will be have an affect.
Who still thinks that Barca will win the title? I see the POLL is saying so

It seems that Messi is still unsure of his move because it will not necessarily shine like Ronaldo who has left more Real Madrid and looks brilliant now CR7.
But could Messi be in a situation like this? of course Barcelona will also defend it for the benefit of the team if it really happens out of Barcelona of course this will make Barca down its performance.

Messi will be shining anywhere if you mean so. He is still the best player ATM. However the performance of Barca is getting poor because they are not generating back up for the players. Imagine, Iniesta is missing in the team but Barca is yet to generate the back up. That's how they are getting poor performer.

[SquallLeonhart]

4 points in 5 games is easily recoverable situation for Barcelona but also remember that we are talking about real Madrid here, they may not lose more than 4 points in the rest of the games, they could go 5/5 on all games as well if they are really focused on those games. So, yes there is a chance that Barcelona could still win all the games and somehow manage to wait for Madrid to lose and end up becoming champions. However that doesn't mean that they will do that, it just means that there is a chance of that happening.

We just have to wait and see but I would say if I had a chance to play on who would be the champions, I would bet on Real Madrid easily, not even just a small chance for me, the big possibility is Real at this point, Barça has just a tiny chance because it is Barcelona we are talking about.

[Naida_BR]

Real Madrid didn't lose the chance of increasing the point difference between them and Barcelona.
They got the three points against Getafe with just one goal and secured the 3 points.
Now they have big advantage against Barcelona.

[Trofo]

Wanted to bet something on the game tonight but I can't seem to find value in any market. Odds on Atletico @1.3 are way to low to take and if you take a look at H2H it looks way worse then expected. There could be some value on taking X2 on Mallorca but then I checked home/away record and Mallorca has got almost all of their points at home games. They played 16 games away this season and lost 13, with record like that I understand why Atletico is such a big favorite and smart thing would be to skip this game.

Unfortunately, I have to put money on something to make it more interesting so I will go for low scoring Atletico win @2.25

I myself am not sure that Messi will leave Barcelona, ​​as we know Messi only plays for one club and has spent a long time in Barcelona even he has never had the experience of playing in another club like Ronaldo.  in my opinion he will not be risking his reputation of being the best player in Barcelona, ​​because I am sure if he plays in another club he will not necessarily be like in Barcelona.

i'm going with a side bet, Atletico win to Nil @1.98. Risky but worth a shot considering Atletico have the second best defence in the league. I was considering putting a few mbtc on Atletico corners ML @1.55 but odds updated to 1.48 and i said "nope!" lol

I don't think Messi will decide to break the contract with Barca. you may know, Messi has been in this club since the beginning of his career. Even he received many good offers from others club, but he didn't leave Barca. He may not like Bartemeo, I think they will resolve this issue through negotiations. In 2013 we have seen some news that Messi will not play in Barcelona anymore. But What happened then? he is still playing in Barca.  on the other hand, within a few years he will retire. now he cannot give any extraordinary things through joining the new club. because, it must be taking a little more time to adapt himself to a new club. so, I think Messi will stay in Barcelona, and he should retire from staying this club.

Odd as it may seem, I decided to put a very small bucks on Mallorca to win. The odds were tempting due to the fact that Atletico doesn't score much themselves, so perhaps, a shocker could be well on cards.
