La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[maju69]

Best regards to Barca President Laporta and coach Xavi who made Barcelona stand up again. While everyone had given up on Barca they did not give up. If Barca becomes the champion this year the biggest share will belong to President Laporta and then Xavi who formed the squad and reminded the team of the old Barcelona philosophy. The average age of the squad is very young and all of the attacking players are players with high individual skills. Those who say that Lewa cannot play ball outside of Bayern are ashamed. Lewa is playing great matches.

Yes, his decision to bring Xavi Hernandez back as coach, was one of the right decisions. Even though we know many doubt him, but he sticks with his stance. The result we can now see, it is not perfect, but there is promising progress since Xavi took charge of Barcelona. Now they look so good, many even believe this season they are strong candidates for the title.

correctly. Actually, in La Liga this season Betis has always been lucky to be faced with a team that is not strong. and it's no wonder Betis can always win in the previous 3 matches. even in those 3 matches, Betis not much of the opponent's goal. only against Elche alone calves can enter 3 goals. in contrast to Real madrid who continue to look stunning and score more goals against the opponent. but of course we can't underestimate Betis. because Betis could really be the dark horse this season. but I think if Betis can hold Real madrid with a draw it can be said to be extraordinary.

The Betis test came in 3 matches starting with Osasuna last week which they won and now Real Madrid and Villareal on 12 September.
They clearly need to make a rotation that can really bring them points, especially since they will also face the first match of Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi in the Europa League.
They obviously have to be able to make good rotations because they definitely want points in all the games they play.
As for Madrid I still feel that they will stay and it is very likely that Madrid will win this match.

Whether or not the game is good at a big club depends on the teams that go on the field, when they can work as a team, they are directed and understand the instructions when on the field, it will give good results and the chances of getting a win will be very high. This ball requires good teamwork because otherwise it will be difficult to get a win even though the players have above average skills.

Benzema is most loyal to the club which we have seen over the years even when Ronaldo was present and he went under the spotlight which most players would have favored a move away to get more playing time but he stayed back until now but now everything has changed, he has become the main character in the team and has always given his best in every game he has played for the club. Real madrid are still my favorites for the title this season.

That's the type of story you make a movie about to be fair. Dude was 35 years old when he got the attention he finally deserved and he is providing the stats for it as well. Back when Ronaldo played dude didn't had to score that much, when asked last year why he didn't had seasons like this before, he replied "because I didn't had to when we had a machine who scored 50-60 goals a year) and that's true, Ronaldo was like a machine that constantly provided scoring, and even assists.

So, Benzema didn't improve and didn't had that chance. Now that Ronaldo is gone, dude had the opportunity to be the target finally, and thanks to that he has achieved some good results so far.

If Betis can improve in the area of midfield before September 12 they will definitely withstand Real Madrid to defeat them 2-1, because their strikers are really performing well in this season. I believe, their goalkeeper is among the talented keeper in this La Liga league competition which will make Betis to win their next match to improve their points. I don't think, Real Madrid will have the strength and energy to remain unbeatable in this season because many teams are fully ready to defeat any strong teams in this tournament to improve their points and to make their fans happy.

Betis have a good defensive line. indeed Betis have a job to overcome the midfield strength of Madrid. when Betis can overcome that, I think holding on to a draw or even Betis being able to steal a win from the reigning champions is doable.
what makes it quite difficult is, that Betis have to play at home against Madrid. this will make Madrid quite scary for Betis. I don't know what percentage of chances Betis can beat Madrid. but so far, Betis have played quite consistently.

But look, it often is
if a team has a champion like Ronaldo, it makes him play, for many reasons. Because he is good, he has solid performances and attracts fans and season tickets. For a young person, living in the shadow of a champion is heavy and does not help him to grow.
For this reason many clubs have invented the "loan" to other teams, in order to grow their little champions.

Xavi's job to coach the Barcelona squad is not easy, because Xavi is not only required to win but also to play beautifully.
This summer, Barcelona have played 3 matches with 7 points and are third in the La Liga standings. but yes, bercelona in the hands of xavi hernandez underwent many significant changes after replacing the coaching ronal koeman last november. Currently Xavi Hernandez's squad can be said to be in quite good form from the last two matches and get perfect results.
However, La Liga has only been running for three weeks, Barcelona must remain consistent with every performance in the next match, because the strongest candidate to win La Liga is still owned by Real Madrid.

As you wrote it is just 3 weeks of La Liga, so it is still too early to say much about conditions of teams like Barcelona, because they have many new players. To see how looks Barcelona after so many transfers we need to wait for confronation with Real Madrid.

This step must be accompanied by decisions taken from club management and coaching staff. It becomes a continuity between one another. If they have players who are good at teamwork and don't have good coaching staff, then things will not go according to plan, and vice versa. A great team is based on good management for sure.

So which is more important? because from what you said you are comparing the "coaching staff" and the "management" just to determine the great team ?

From what I know the two are very different, the management can be said to think about the running of the club in terms of finances and welfare, while for the coach it is an important task because it provides lessons and strategic information that is very important for them to be able to fight other superior teams.

Benzema's problem is also that because of the Valbuena scandal, he was suspended from playing in the national team. If not for this, he would already have a world title and his status would have been higher even earlier. As for being in Ronaldo's shadow, don't blame Ronaldo for that - everyone remembers how many chances Benzema had playing alongside Ronaldo and how little he converted.

Xavi and Laporta have rebuilt the current squad quite well, Xavi had to go through a lot of struggles when resurrecting barcelona from adversity so far, although at this time barcelona has not fully recovered but Laporta has managed to adjust his team well even though it is often financially constrained , barcelona at the moment in my opinion looks quite good after the arrival of new players but we must realize that the barcelona which was rebuilt by Xavi and Laporta still has fragile foundations and could collapse at any time if financial problems are not fixed immediately.

Laporta is very serious about making Barcelona a club that can compete with Real Madrid in La Liga and other giants in the Europa League. Laporta inherited the club from Josep Maria Bartomeu with a weak condition in terms of finances and squad depth. Laporta dared to take a decision by selling some of the club's assets and also broadcasting rights to rebuild the Barcelona squad, now Barcelona has risen after his squad was inhabited by several new faces who were brought in at high prices. Barcelona are ready to compete for several prestigious titles thanks to the work of Laporta and Xavi.

Since Barcelona has become so good, they were selling their asset like Jordi Alba to get money. On the club's coaching side, they play well and have a lot of wins. On the management side, they can sell the club's assets to get more money without impacting their performance.

Since someone asks, both the coaching staff and management side are tied together. Management can operate at a net loss, temporally. Acquire players with a lot of money but as long as they get a good result, it'll pay off eventually.

I can't wait for a match between two teams that have winning streaks. Real Madrid vs Real Betis will be an interesting spectacle. Real Betis have conceded only 1 goal in 3 matches so far. Pretty good stats for an unfavourite. And they scored 6 goals from 3 those three games. But I believe Real Madrid will be the team to stop Real Betis.

I don't think it's too early to compare what they did when they were handled by Koeman. They looked much better when Xavi took over as Barcelona coach.
Maybe it's too early to say they will play better than rivals Real Madrid, I agree with that. As you said we have to see how they work and compare with Real Madrid.

We have seen history and past records playing a major part in the football world sometimes we even get a feeling of de'javu. Real Betis have been in a very fine form this season getting. The game that surprised me most was the game they got a red card and managed to hold on to the win till the end of the game. Both teams are currently sitting first and second place in the league so definitely it would be a tough one for Betis but I think Real Madrid will win the game.

This season they are doing things that are quite extreme because indeed they continue to make decisions that make it seem as if it is the last thing because the risk is very big for them. But fortunately they can get through it, especially with their current performance, their life and death decisions some time ago seemed to be in line with their expectations because indeed they had sacrificed a lot starting from shares and broadcasting rights, even some sales and purchases that didn't really go in sense.

Real betis got off to a good start. It seems very difficult for them to play against Real Madrid without making mistakes, as there are players with much more agility, speed and talent. Real Madrid somehow made a mistake in the Betis defender in the match. It was like that last week, in the match that I thought would end in a draw, Benzema scored a goal at 88 minutes and then scored a goal in extra time.
