La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Xavi will need to try more options and know the best tactics for him. He will need time for this experiment just as Potter is experimenting with Chelsea. But after a few match he will discover the best method to beat big clubs. He is not doing bad and we cannot say that he is doing well because champions league is the best test of performance for big clubs.

That the best thing should have done. He needs to try other strategies to see if it can make the players in the team to be stronger more than the way they are. Barcelona are not in their best performance.

It can be said that if barcelona was in the worst performance although it has been leading la liga but this can't be considered as achievement by xavi caused by the season has not yet ended. Xavi has no choice other than used available resources to rebuild the team again.
Barcelona may not able to buy new players in the next transfer season.Barcelona was only aiming for the cheap players that will be leaving the club with free transfer status. Xavi has been making the worst performance in barcelona.
This is his first time managing the big club. I think that he needs to get more experience with club that has not owned big name like barcelona. he must have started at the bottom.

If Chelsea, current season performance in both leagues is an experiment then that is a very wrong move to make by Chelsea's management. What Chelsea needs right now is not a long and slow recovery but a jump start in this season since the club already suffered from various factors. Suc7as the sanction that came on the club owner in the early days of the Rusia and Ukrainian war this brought with it the negative result Chelsea has seen since then.

The coach is slightly responsible for Atletico Madrid's poor performance. But we cannot blame the coach entirely for their poor performance. Is Atletico Madrid's squad strong enough? I don't think so. Atletico Madrid's squad is relatively weak, and Atletico Madrid management is not interested in spending a lot of money to sign players. And so we can't blame only the Madrid coach for the poor performance of Atletico Madrid. And so I don't think Atletico Madrid will fire their coach.

Atletico Madrid this season not only has a bad coach but also a bad squad and bad management too. For some reason, this season Atletico Madrid is really bad in all positions. They have not only failed in round 16 of the Champions League but also seem to have failed in La Liga. This is bad, in fact, they often fail against small clubs. What a bad surprise. Atletico Madrid really needs a new coach capable of making significant changes, and maybe they should buy some good sharp players in the next transfer market.

Atletico Madrid's squad is weak. But they have a lot of talented players in their squad. Griezmann, Morata, Correa and De Paul are all talented enough. But none of the attacking players are in good form, and they are not playing well consistently. This is why their squad is weak. Atletico Madrid's main failing is that they can't find the players they need. They don't know exactly what their weaknesses are. And because of not knowing the weaknesses, they cannot find the right players for their squad. This is why their performance has been so poor this season.

Atletico still haven't failed completely because they are still in fifth place and Atletico still have a great chance of getting back into the top four, unless Atletico fall far behind as Sevilla is currently experiencing then it's an absolute failure. But if Atletico have only experienced losing by mediocre teams a few times and also, the fact is that Atletico still have a big chance to be able to return to the top four.
At least that is still a normal and reasonable result, because sometimes all teams also experience situations like this and the most important thing is not to fall too hard.

Also, if we consider the number of goals and conceded, the competition still looks very reasonable and Atletico doesn't look as bad as one might think.
The factor that looks bad is because Atletico were eliminated in the Champions League and also, that usually Atletico is the shadow of Real Madrid and Barcelona at this moment is no longer. But to be honest, if I consider their results so far, then it's still a result that is still in a good situation and doesn't have any big problems.

A coach should indeed have a myriad of strategies for him to apply. I don't think they can be compared to Chelsea, there are no similarities at all that I can see in these two teams. Barcelona are playing well right now, but they have to do better than that to achieve something extraordinary. They cannot be said to be in a very stable condition, meaning that they still have a lot of work that Xavi Hernandez has to finish in a short amount of time.

Benzema seems to have played too much lately. He now has the "advantage" of being able to rest for a few weeks before the competition starts again, but he would much rather have played the World Cup. The nature of the injury seems quite serious to me, as he will not be in action for the entire World Cup. Maybe Real Madrid will also have to fear for his return to Real Madrid? He could be out of action for a few months. Just look at how long Pogba has been out of circulation, for example. That's been almost 4-5 months. Very sour for Benzema, but also for the French team. If Benzema is not fit in time at Madrid, it could also have huge consequences for Madrid's level.

If Barcelona still doesn't make a bigger point gap with Real Madrid, then the top position currently occupied by Barcelona is still not safe because Barcelona still needs to beat Real Madrid this season if they want to get the La Liga title. Real Madrid is a team that is still very dangerous for all teams in La Liga including Barcelona, ​​because if there are only two points between the two, it will be easier for Real Madrid to take the top spot again from Barcelona.

This means that Barcelona must always win and Real Madrid at least should lose once. This may be difficult to expect this result, but nothing is impossible. Sometimes, real Madrid performs quite surprisingly when fighting with certain clubs, sometimes they give surprising result such as draws. Well,hopefully this will not happen. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid should not be drawn or lost to make thier position keeps safe and will not be takne over again. I personally really like Real Madird. But, I can't deny that Barcelona will always be a difficult opponent, moorever they aplay much better after failed in the UCL.

We have to admit it was an unlucky UCL adventure for Barcelona.  We must not forget that they are ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga.  Real Madrid are surprisingly losing some points, but Barcelona seems to have held on better.  Even though I like Real Madrid's squad quality more, I want Barcelona to win.  I've been a fan of them since the time of Ronaldinho.

If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League, they need to strengthen their squad. Because almost all the teams in the Champions League are very strong, the players of the teams are very fast. Barcelona need to add some more good players to their squad if they want to do well next season.

It's difficult challenge because on several occasions Barcelona's appearance is quite good, much better than last season. Several options for adding new players made at the start of this season seem to have quite an impact, even though in the end Barcelona had to return early in the Champions League competition. To add more new players in the upcoming transfer market, I think Barcelona needs to release some of its players to maintain team neutrality.

Times have changed and this strategy has ceased to bear fruit. Or did Atlético just become bad at it? They have conceded a lot of goals in the last two seasons and their defense is far from perfect. Either way, they need to change. Almost any modern team knows how to play the bus when necessary, but being like Atlético the bus all the time and hoping that someday it will bring results again is irrelevant.

They lost almost half of the games they played this season so now they are only 5th in the table. Their defense has indeed been one of the highlights this season because it didn't work as expected and had an impact on the results of their matches. But we can't just blame their defense because their front line didn't show anything satisfactory either. Their balance in the midfield is also something they have to improve to balance their game between defense and attack.

Atletico Madrid still has time to fix it all to return to the top 3 positions that have become their habit every season. It depends on how Diego Simeone realizes the wrong thing in this and tries with a strategy that brings fresh air to Atletico Madrid's game.

It is really difficult for a player like Benzema not to play in this World Cup due to injury. The France team had a big deficit because Benzema could not play. In fact he needed to take care of himself a bit, because the World Cup doesn't always happen.

Any qualified coach, now there are such on the market (they always are). But it's more important to change the strategy (although it's too late to do it) - if Barcelona hadn't gone all-in, but suffered a couple of years with a less stellar squad, nothing terrible would have happened. Most likely they would have finished second in La Liga in the same way and from time to time reached the playoffs of the Champions League. In doing so, they could sort out their debts and start a "normal" life.

The qualified coach is not the most important topic. When you want to change Atletico Madrid, you need to change a whole era. It was defensive soccer. We all saw these games when Atletico was working at taking down the clock. Yet they were an amazing team, there is no doubt. Even tough it wasn't fun at times to watch them, they still were a huge hurdle to any big club to actually beat them.

Agree with what you say because indeed the defensive strategy for Atletico sometimes always backfires for them.
It is clear that in this case there must be a change and now there are only two choices. Does Simeone really want to see from the current conditions and change the scheme that he always excels at or does he change coaches because indeed the current conditions for them are clearly not very good even though they are now in the top 4 but this doesn't make them strong enough with their current strategy.

For Benzema this is not an advantage because he has to see his favorite team play without him and this is a very deep sadness for Real Madrid who cannot use Benzema's strength to win. Hopefully Benzema has a miracle to recover quickly and get the opportunity to contribute in the next match. Benzema has become the main key for Real Madrid to win.

what I understand about Benzema injury is that it is not very serious that will make him not to play for Real Madrid after the WC. According to Benzema statement it is an injury he could still managed to world cup and miss the first two matches and continue but he didn't want to do it because he love his country, he has to drop so that a more fit person will represent France and make the country proud that is according to the statement released by Benzema. This means that before the World Cup will end Benzema could you recover from his injuries. I am sad that I cannot watch the best in the world cup

The thing that players really don't want to experience is injury, and now Benzema has to feel that. Things like this are not an advantage but a disaster for a player. After all he must be very sad because he can not play. Even if he rested, what use would it be if his rest was to heal injuries. someone will definitely choose a cape to play compared to resting in an injury. This is very detrimental for the country and the club, because by losing one player the coach will think hard to form a new line-up after being left behind by players who have experienced injuries. I also hope the same, that Benzema will recover in a short time.

Xavi will need to try more options and know the best tactics for him. He will need time for this experiment just as Potter is experimenting with Chelsea. But after a few match he will discover the best method to beat big clubs. He is not doing bad and we cannot say that he is doing well because champions league is the best test of performance for big clubs.

I do not think that Xavi is interested in experimenting, he has a good roster, and he has the system he wants to play with, which is 10+ years ago Barcelona when he played, and he did that back when he was manager of that other Arabic team too, and they were doing great there. So, he doesn't really have much to change.

Best case scenario for him would be seeing some players in positions that doesn't play that well, and he could try to get some players for those positions instead, but that’s about it, he would just do some smaller transfers from here on out. He already spent way too much, and he needs to first come up with some titles and cups before he can ask for more.

To add more new players in the upcoming transfer market, I think Barcelona needs to release some of its players to maintain team neutrality.

I personally still haven't seen any major changes made by Xavi with his new squad, because basically Xavi has also managed to make Barcelona rise last season but only for La Liga.
But unfortunately, this season, having many new squads has made the Barcelona squad again have a luxurious squad, but Xavi has still failed in the Champions League.
Because with this new squad, at least Xavi can bring Barcelona to qualify even if only for the last 16 of the Champions League.

Worse yet, if later Xavi still fails in the Europa League, then it is something that has no development in their performance.
I don't care who the opponent is, because at this moment Xavi has good players in every line, so Xavi should be able to maintain Barcelona's performance to stay good in La Liga and also in Europe.

To be honest, when I heard the news that Benzema was dropped from the French team that competed in the World Cup, it made me a little surprised, because I support France and am very aware that France needs a great figure and a single attacker like him. I hope Benzema recovers quickly so he can help Madrid face Valladolid later.

At this moment, I think Barcelona has only one problem. So far Barcelona has shown good performance. But it seems to be like they are always facing problems when they are going up against Real Madrid.

Remember that when Barcelona faced Real Madrid this season, Real Madrid conceded in every match till then. But Barcelona could not score against Real Madrid. If I remember correctly, Barcelona was the team that conceded the least amount of goals till then. But still, they lost against Real Madrid. I think Xavi has to fix this problem first of all. Otherwise, it will be hard for them to win the La Liga title.

According to Transfermarkt, Benzema is expected to return on December 12. Maybe he will miss many matches with France but he can at least be ready to play for Real Madrid later on. He is still very important for the team to be more successful. They need his contribution in the La Liga to fight harder against Barcelona for the league title. Benzema's score contribution has played a big role for Real Madrid for a long time.

I assume that Real Madrid won't be in search of a striker in January as Benzema is coming back. Otherwise they might have bigger problems in the Champions League as well.

I find it very difficult for Real Madrid to fight without Benzema. According to Transfermark news, there isn't much time left, and if he recovers, the stress will go away for the team. I still think Real Madrid should look for a good striker during the season. Meanwhile, Eden Hazard's market value has fallen to the ground, 7.5 million euros is a truly tragic situation from top to bottom. The Chelsea days flashed in my mind for a moment.

Regardless of Benzema being able to return sooner or not, then I think it's time for Real Madrid to think about a striker to replace the very injury-prone Benzema. It's not that Real Madrid aren't sure about Benzema, but this team needs a player they can rely on when their main striker is injured.

So in my opinion, Real Madrid should have another striker who can help the team and they should be able to sign him in the January transfer window. If not, then I'm sure Real Madrid will struggle in the Champions League this season. Remember, luck won't always be on their side, so Madrid shouldn't just rely on Benzema all season.

Real Madrid should have acted faster and not waited and moved when they really needed it. In fact they barely made the slightest move in the transfer market last season to find cover for Benzema. Actually I was a little surprised to see what Real Madrid did in the last transfer window because they usually surprise me by bringing in quality players. It seemed they were quite confident in what they had at the time. But now it really feels like when they have lost Benzema in a few games, they don't have the coating to really cover the hole they left. They tried to entrust it to Rodrygo, but Rodrygo himself has not been able to maximize if placed in Benzema's position.
