La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Oneandpure]

To be honest, I don't know where you saw a good performance from Barcelona in the Champions League. The fact that they had chances to score a goal against Bayern and against Inter also does not mean some good achievement - every team has missed chances. Yes, Barcelona did not lose all the games with a crushing score, but all the games were lost by game - in general, it is clear that Bayern and Inter are simply stronger than Barcelona.
And yes, the bookmakers give about 16% for the fact that Barcelona will still be able to reach the playoffs. For me personally, it's amazing - Inter should beat Victoria, Inter can beat even unmotivated Bayern. While even an unmotivated Bayern can beat their favorite principle rival - Barcelona.

Barcelona have poor performance in Champion League after drop to 3rd standing position and left 3 points behind Inter Milan the latest position qualify to next round, bad dreaming for Barcelona at champion league because next match if Inter success win actually Barcelona have to play on Europe League. Become bad started for Barcelona before el clasico match because the rival team Real Madrid have lock one place at 16 round of Champion League. Actually I think chance for Barcelona have closed because Inter playing home on next match and seems easy how to win from Plzen.

Whatever bad achievement in champion league Barcelona have forget it and keep forward and preparing for el clasico match, this games not only with 3 points achievement but will be most crucial achievement if can't defeat Real Madrid at Bernabeu.

[Distraction]

Barcelona haven't performed decently in the Champions League indeed. They are going to the Europa League most probably. But this isn't the case when it comes to the La Liga. People should be able to differentiate this fact now. They are showing a much higher level of performance in this league. Of course they should have cared about the Champions League as much as this league because it is important for them to reach as good level as possible to make more money.

When it comes to the El Clasico I don't think that there is any certain favourite. Barcelona destroyed them here by a huge score last season. Hence Ancelotti had better prepare his players better this time. Lewandowski is in a solid condition and they will need to stay awake in defense all the time. I think that it might be a draw match this time. I believe that BTTS is a quite nice choice which has 1.50 odd.

[herurist]

Barcelona will not be happy to play the classic in Madrid. Being almost certainly eliminated from the Champions League is not good for confidence. Real Madrid also did not win at Shaktar, but were actually already qualified for the next round so they can be content with that. I expect that both teams want to play full on the attack. Can Frenkie de Jong finally show against Real Madrid how good he can play football? Last year's spectacle in Madrid was a joy to watch for the neutral spectator. Real Madrid will presumably be looking for a revenge from last season.

Even so it would have been better if they had won because otherwise they lost the Champions League and the top of the table was clearly given back to Madrid and this is certainly not good for those who are currently gambling this season by spending a lot of money on player transfers but not get even one trophy then this will only make it difficult for them in financial condition.

[Furious 7]

Barcelona are really lacking defensively at the moment, something we talked about yesterday before the game and saw Barcelona concede 3 goals in the game against Inter Milan. Their defense is in disarray and easy to concede goals which Inter Milan were smart enough to capitalize on and get three goals and until the first team players return from injuries they will have to struggle for a little more time.

The fact that losing their two pillars in defense clearly makes it difficult for them and this is not what many people talk about because they still have a lot of options.
Xavi is getting too comfortable with his starting line-up and when those players are not on the pitch Xavi obviously loses a bit of confidence and if you look after some of their players are injured they are really clowns in the Champions League and if this continues look at La Liga games too it is not impossible that they have decreased temporarily.

[lalabotax]

Barcelona have poor performance in Champion League after drop to 3rd standing position and left 3 points behind Inter Milan the latest position qualify to next round, bad dreaming for Barcelona at champion league because next match if Inter success win actually Barcelona have to play on Europe League. Become bad started for Barcelona before el clasico match because the rival team Real Madrid have lock one place at 16 round of Champion League. Actually I think chance for Barcelona have closed because Inter playing home on next match and seems easy how to win from Plzen.

Barcelona seems not qualified for the next UCL stage because Inter must win against Viktoria Plzen. While Barcelona will play against Bayern Munich that is likely impossible to get a single point. Sure, this reality is a bad matter for Barcelona players', they may feel frustrated and unhappy. But I hope it won't impact so much on Barcelona players' mentality since they will have a chance to compete for La Liga title if they get a loss in the upcoming El Classico. Especially, the El Classico will be held in Real Madrid home (Bernabeu), it won't be an easy match.

It's difficult at the moment for Barcelona because Inter's chances are obviously very big now seeing that Barcelona are still 3 points behind and Inter will face a team that can be said to be the weakest in the group, namely Plzen clearly have a chance to widen the points open to Inter because in any case Plzen is now like only as a complement in this group and Inter can clearly win and destroy the hopes of Xavi and Barcelona to qualify for the next phase.

It's a shame that Barcelona had to fail to win when they faced Inter in the Champions League. As you said it is likely that Barcelona will fail to qualify
for the next round and will have to continue playing in the Europa League. But I hope Barcelona's bad results in the Champions League don't continue
into La Liga. Moreover, the El Clasico match will soon begin, although the match will be played at home to Real Madrid, Barcelona should remain optimistic.
Because Barcelona have disappointed their supporters with Barcelona's poor performance in the Champions League, at least Barcelona players have
to show that they can perform well in La Liga.

So Barcelona should be able to win El Clasico, Real Madrid is not an easy opponent to beat. But if Xavi can field the right players and being able
to use an effective strategy should Barcelona be able to win the El Clasico match. Which El Clasico match is very important for both Barcelona
and Real Madrid, which determines who deserves to be at the top. To be honest, because the strength of the two teams is almost the same,
it becomes very difficult to predict who will win the El Clasico. Looks like a draw is likely to happen, and if that's the case, I think the draw results
are quite satisfactory for both teams.

I see Barcelona are at the top of the table with five wins in a row so what are they struggling with? they are now easy to always get a win in every game, Xavi only needs to prepare their team to face Real Madrid on 16 october this because this is an opponent that is not easy for Barcelona.

real madrid was in a better position compared with barcelona. The pressure for barcelona is really big at this moment with the target must win in remaining matches in the champion league. Real madrid can enjoy el classico caused but it was not under a huge pressure like barcelona. Just take a look at the fact and you will understand it. The performance from a player can be different once it meets different opponent. De jong has big contribution to the barcelona in the match against inter but it doesn't mean if he will give the same thing again to the barcelon when it will be against real madrid. The time to proves which team that is better is almost coming very soon. I can't even be patience to see how good match that will be happening between both

I can't hope that because I put Madrid to win on the table. Madrid is more favored because have an opportunity as host. Besides that, Madrid is still defending champion where don't want to give the winning as such. What make me worry is defender and not effective attacker on front, the previous match vs Shakhtar as correction to Ancelotti to make better and focus on coordination, This gap will be exploited if not covered asap.

Xavi got so many pressures. It needs to prepare its club to fight against bayern but it will have some hard games for the upcoming match after el classico against villareal and bayern. In this case i just wanna say that if xavi needs more than only a usual preparation. Tiki taka is not working anymore.
Ball possession means nothing if your team was loosing in the match. There must be a new strategy by xavi. I see that from last games if performance from barcelona didn't look so good.
glad barcelona has lewandowski that was always helping the team. It was always loosing against a team that was using counter attack strategy. Xavi needs a new rotation that makes play style is a bit different. ball possession is good but since if you were not able to win the match and it's not good.

Real Madrid and Barcelona this season have almost the same strength. They are unbeaten in five games in La Liga. However, Madrid will certainly lose Thibaut Courtois as the main goalkeeper in El Clasico Oct 16, Week 9.
My initial analysis for this season's El Clasico, I support Barcelona even though they experienced a less than optimal result in the European Champions League.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Barcelona are in good shape and are likely to get all three points against Mallorca who have lost five of their head to head meetings. I see history repeating itself, I don't think Mallorca will stand a chance against Barcelona, Xavi has improved  the team so much, they have recruited new players who have made the team even stronger. It will be difficult for Mallorca's defense to hold out Barcelona's attack.

Yes, Barcelona seems too superior to Mallorca although there are some Barcelona players injured. There is no reason that Barcelona to fail in getting 3 points in the upcoming match. Even if the match will be held in Mallorca home, it won't affect much. Xavi should be ready to prepare Barcelona players to play with their best. And Xavi must target to get full points to overtake Real Madrid in the 1st place.

Regarding the current stats of both teams, Barcelona seems also better than Mallorca. Current Mallorca stats look quite weak, especially when they are against big teams. So, I am sure Barcelona will win against Mallorca.

Im sure about that. This can be considered as a free points for barcelona. i will not underestimate mallorca in any case but statistic said about the truth when mallorca against barcelona. This may make barcelona would able to compete with real madrid. El classico will become the main match to know which team from barcelona and real that would become a winner. I can't wait for el classico to come very soon. It seems like that both real and barcelona will get full points and the positions will remain the same. There will be no change

Well I am not going to deny that Barcelona has many options to win not only with Mallorca but with all the teams that are coming, with the exception of Real Madird and maybe Atlético de Madrid, of course all this under the scheme that Barcelona has a lot of material to do it, but be careful, I saw some teams out there that can wage war, and Barcelona cannot afford to lose games like that because they have invested a lot and have gotten a lot of debt, and what Xavi sees is winning or win, there is nothing else that cannot give another chance, these are the things that Barcelona can never let go, and I am not exaggerating, the situation of Barcelona is very delicate.

it becomes very difficult to predict who will win the El Clasico. Looks like a draw is likely to happen, and if that's the case, I think the draw results
are quite satisfactory for both teams.

I can't hope that because I put Madrid to win on the table. Madrid is more favored because have an opportunity as host.

What make me worry is defender and not effective attacker on front, the previous match vs Shakhtar as correction to Ancelotti to make better and focus on coordination, This gap will be exploited if not covered asap.

Well for me I also put Real Madrid to win, the complications that they could have had before may have occurred due to the high pressure they have had, it is normal, going well in the UCL and also in the League are challenges that any error can save you from first place and very easy, which can be very difficult at times to get back to the top, however I have seen Barcelona have many problems when playing, in the friendly classic, I did not see everything the potential for Madrid, I think that Real Madrid still has a lot to show and for me they have something in store, a very well-stored strategy, this game will be very good.

For the most fans and rivals between the teams, this information is usually interesting:

Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona: Head-to-Head Record

When it comes to football rivalries, then the El Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is one of the most iconic. Two giants of Spanish club football are European powerhouses with a very rich history. While the former has won La Liga a record 35 times, the latter has won it on 26 occasions.

Real Madrid also has won 14 UEFA Champions League titles, which is another record. In comparison, FC Barcelona has five UCL trophies. No matter which competition these two compete in, they are top contenders and often direct competitors when it comes to domestic competitions such as La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa de España.

Xavi needs a new rotation that makes play style is a bit different. ball possession is good but since if you were not able to win the match and it's not good.

It is that we cannot forget that the one who introduced the tiki taka in Barcelona was Pep Guardiola, he is the one who knows very well how they should do it, despite the fact that Xavi was there and participated in that technique, it is not the same, I think that It would take a Ronaldinho and an Iniesta, and the truth is that I don't see any player with those characteristics, however I think that Barcelona has a lot of pressure and this is not so good for the team, because Xavi knows that he cannot afford to lose I think that if they get to draw it is as if it were a victory, however I think that Barcelona has to leave everything on the field, that each player sweats his shirt well, because Real Madrid does not play with carts and I think that Real Madrid He will come out with his entire arsenal.


El Clasico Primer: How Real Madrid can defend and attack Barcelona

Real Madrid’s quick thinking and execution will need to be on its A game. They can beat Xavi’s man-to-man press with quick vertical passes to Karim Benzema who can play as a hold-up striker that lays it off to other attackers making third-man runs. Ball progression is of utmost importance, and for that reason, Ancelotti may be better off with Antonio Rudiger over Eder Militao. The former is better on the ball under pressure. Alternatively, pairing Rudiger and Militao together would give you the best combination of collective aerial presence against Barca, which would help fend off Barcelona’s crosses. (Xavi-ball of late has been cross-heavy.)

Well here are many interesting positions according to the analyst, it can be said that he has studied a lot the tactics of each team, however I think there is much more.

No drama, Real Madrid are the favorites at home.

In my humble opinion i do not feel there is any favorite for this match, though i usually analyse the el classico in this way, i feel it is two giant teams and anybody can win. The two teams have not been too sharp in the last couple of weeks, either in the champions league, La Liga or both, they have not played to their best, so neither of them is really hot in form. Barcelona have more problems by the way as they are very close to joining the europa league teams over there, they may have to face the La Liga more now because barcelona did a lot of things to buy many players, so they have to win something.

Yes, anything can happen in this match because the both teams are very strong in this season, but if Barcelona can improve more in their strategies before the match, I think Barcelona will definitely defeat Real Madrid 1-2 for the favour of Barcelona. I think, the new talented players Barcelona coach signed into the team are doing well in all their position, which will be one of the advantage Barcelona will use to achieve victory from Real Madrid in their next match for people to believe that things has changed positively in Barcelona in this season. Real Madrid will find it difficult to win this match, because their defense is not too strong in this season.

[makishart]

I see Barcelona are at the top of the table with five wins in a row so what are they struggling with? they are now easy to always get a win in every game, Xavi only needs to prepare their team to face Real Madrid on 16 october this because this is an opponent that is not easy for Barcelona.

Real Madrid and Barcelona this season have almost the same strength. They are unbeaten in five games in La Liga. However, Madrid will certainly lose Thibaut Courtois as the main goalkeeper in El Clasico Oct 16, Week 9.
My initial analysis for this season's El Clasico, I support Barcelona even though they experienced a less than optimal result in the European Champions League.

Rudiger will not play on that match caused by was getting serious injury during his last match with real madrid even though i will still pick real madrid as my favorite in this case caused by the result from the champion league is making team even better.
Real madrid has complete the target to go to the last 16. that proves that if this team has more capability to win against barcelona in the upcoming match. There are so many players will not play in both of team due to the serious injury and recovery process.
Kounde, rudiger and more main squad will not able to perform in that match. It's hard to predict which will win caused by both almost equal.

[Razmirraz]

Barcelona will not be happy to play the classic in Madrid. Being almost certainly eliminated from the Champions League is not good for confidence. Real Madrid also did not win at Shaktar, but were actually already qualified for the next round so they can be content with that. I expect that both teams want to play full on the attack. Can Frenkie de Jong finally show against Real Madrid how good he can play football? Last year's spectacle in Madrid was a joy to watch for the neutral spectator. Real Madrid will presumably be looking for a revenge from last season.

The Barcelona coach and players are very professional, they can tell the difference between UCL and La Liga. A slump in the UCL will not make Barcelona players lose their passion for facing Real Madrid in El Clasico.
The disappointment that Barcelona players feel due to a disappointing result in the UCL will not make them look weak, they have been playing for many years and can always show a professional attitude even in difficult conditions.
I think Barcelona weak point ahead of El Clasico is in defence, the injuries to two strong defenders (Araujo and Kounde) left a hole that is difficult for other players to close. Xavi must pay full attention in defense so that Real Madrid players cannot easily penetrate their defence.

[arimamib]

Snip.

Xavi's latest decisions don't seem to be paying off, unfortunately for the team and their fans. Not winning any of the titles would be a shame after all the expectation they have created in the first matches.

But I agree that, if they can beat Real Madrid and win La Liga, they will manage to save the situation, even if they don't perform well in the Champions. Let's wait, but I don't see a clear bet there.

It's still too early to talk about the title that Barcelona may or not get this season, La Liga still has a lot of games left, Barcelona also still has CDR and if Barcelona fail to qualify for the last 16 of the UCL they will go down to the Europa League. The title will certainly determine a team's success or not in a season, Barcelona still has a chance to get one of them.

Barcelona will try to continue to perform optimally in La Liga to keep their chances open. El Clasico is a big game for both clubs, Madrid and Barcelona will try to give their best to beat each other. It is very difficult to make predictions in El Clasico this time, because the two teams are almost equal in strength, but if you judge from the point of view of the main players who are injured and the advantage of playing at home, Madrid have a slightly greater chance than Barcelona.

Barcelona are in deep trouble right now. Could not win against Inter Milan in the Champions League. So it is very difficult for them to qualify for the knock out round. They will face several strong teams in La Liga consistently. Barcelona have to win all the matches if they want to be at the top of the points table. El Clasico is very difficult to predict. Both Barca and Madrid have strong squads and consistent performances. So we have to be ready for any surprises.

That's how it should be, because it's a big 2 team game and it's the biggest derby game. The meeting of these two teams is always eagerly awaited by many people and now we will soon see the match. Real Madrid has a slight advantage as Barcelona will be without some important names, but that is no guarantee that they will win the game. I can't wait to watch this match.

[bering]

Rayo vs Getafe and last season Rayo can beat Getafe at their home ground with score 3-0 so this indicated as a host they have good opportunity to repeat their previous result today and so far from home matches Rayo already get 2 wins from 3 wins total this season so this is good records considering they are mediocre team and always be struggle to avoid relegated zone for each season and for this match although this option has slightly risky but i would like to pick Rayo win as my current bet and the bookie provided decent odds for them @2.02
