La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rendravolt]

Real Madrid obviously have an undeniable interest in Mbappe and as things seems they are also ready to wait until he finally makes up his mind on making a switch to joining them from PSG and I think if PSG get another disappointing run in the Champions league then Mbappe might begin to consider a possible move to Real Madrid. Madrid are in desperate need of a replacement for Benzema who is now prone to injuries and currently nursing an injury as we speak so it is wise to move for a new striker in the winter to cover up for the rest of the season.

If Mbappe starts to enter Real Madrid, it might still disappoint Real Madrid because Mbappe has a character that cannot be controlled properly and always causes problems when on the field,
So Real Madrid have to consider other players who may also be young who have a lot of stamina and are easy to manage on the field.

When talking about Mbappe, what stands out the most is his selfish nature, because he is very difficult for anyone to control. He should have been more exemplary and emulated other senior players. If he joined Real Madrid, maybe his nature would be softened and not selfish anymore, because speaking of Real Madrid and PSG both have their own history and most players from Real Madrid are players who are disciplined and have good attitude, so I think Mbappe can adapt to that.

Well , I think Mbappe will win UCL with PSG before moving further to Real Madrid and I think it the best decision for him as I don't see Real winning anytime soon another UCL trophy so he better be focused on PSG for now and enjoy playing with Messi as that won't last long either. Then , he can fulfill his dream and join Real , a team that could be Galacticos 2.0 in 3-4 years from now <3.

If I remember correctly, bookmakers estimate the probability of PSG winning the Champions League is not much higher than that of Real. If Mbappe wants to be the super favorite to win the Champions League he has to go to City - that's really going to be Galacticos 2.0, Real Madrid actually has a very modest team and succeeds not by stars but by teamwork.

Before the world cup have not started it seems Barcelona is struggling to be at the top. After the World many players will show weakness in their performance and it may affect Barcelona,  some of their players may show some sign of weakness, Barcelona might not continue to lead the league.

most of the barcelona players are playing in spain, other important players like lewandoski have already returned home and are resting at home so if spain reaches the final maybe most of spain's players will have little time to rest but see that it will be much more time off in relation to the league games, so there's no way the barcelona players can come back tired and affect something in the team, on the contrary they came back very motivated to play, and barcelona is at the top they're going to work hard. if barcelona has a bad result, it will only be due to some strategic error

[Maidak]

Real Madrid has been after Mbappe for a few years, hasn't it? PSG has had a stronger team for years, but Real Madrid is the team that has won the CL no less than 4 times in the past 7 years. PSG can't argue with that. I don't know if Mbappe still wants to go to Madrid. When Zidane was a coach, he wanted to have him but then the asking price was too high, I think I read. And now Benzema is injured, I don't know to what extent that will affect the 2nd half of the season in 2023, but the injury was not very light either, since he has to miss the entire World Cup. Barcelona and Real madrid have to come out of the winter period well, if you perform a few games less than the championship is already gone to the competitor.

It is better for Mbape to make a move to Real Madrid,but if he is ever dreaming of becoming the world best footballer,he won't remain in PSG.Mbape is a big name that everybody knows,but if he remains at that team,he might only be nominated,but he won't be giving world best,and as far as Messi,Ronaldo are still in football,I don't think he can claim that award.
PSG has a complete team,but their players are not United enough to to play the champions league and win,and that is the only thing they can win for the to prove to the world that they are good.

Mbappe is a very good player no doubt but I think the offer given to him by PSG was too good to refuse that's why he didn't join Real Madrid. PSG did everything they can to keep him.
I disagree with you when you said as long as Messi and Ronaldo are are still around, Mbappe won't win a world best. The only competition he might still have for the world best among those two is just Messi. Ronaldo is never getting into the top 5 again, not at this point in his career. If he plays better than Messi then he'll win the Balon d'or at PSG.

In my opinion, if Kylian Mbappe wants to win the Champions League, he has to move to Real Madrid, or else I don't think he will be able to win the Champions League with PSG. Yes, PSG has had a really strong team for the past few seasons with the addition of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe. However, they have still struggled to win the Champions League or even get to the finals.

On the other hand, Real Madrid have won the Champions League so many times with even this not-so-good team. But what concerns me is that Kylian has enraged Florentino Perez, and that might be a barrier for him to come to Real Madrid. I think that only time will tell where he will end up.

[Jody.Drummer]

I don't know why the discussion on Mbappe possible transfer in the January transfer window is all over the internet and why is it that every analyst is pointing to a possible mbappe Reap Madrid deal in the coming season. Why is there so much tension about Benzema's exit from Real Madrid and a quest for a replacement in person of Mbappe?

Real Madrid have been interested in Kylian Mbappe for several seasons and vice versa Real Madrid is a club that Kylian Mbappe dreams of. This would be wild news as both sides had high hopes for a deal. This could have happened if only Mbappe had not had more of the privileges he has at Paris Saint Germain.
Regarding this rumor, there will always be news that will be exaggerated a little, especially after many rumors said Mbappe wanted to leave Paris Saint Germain immediately. And also it will attract the reaction of many people for their failure to form a partnership in the last transfer market. But to be honest I doubt this transfer will really happen.

I think you are late in this all drama which happen in last summer transfer window things were at their best but last minute U-turn by Mbappé give big shock to Real Madrid and now most chances they will never sign him for their team even right now they are looking for some options but Mbappé is not in their targeted players list with most chances they will go for few other options, and they will achieve them as well there is no doubt Mbappé is quality player, and he is game changer as well, but his childish behaviour is also not acceptable for few clubs so most chances he will stay with PSG for some more years.

Surely there were few rumours about his and PSG management, but hopefully they will settle things quickly because they can't afford any problem as right now they are working on their biggest dream of winning Champions League which can happen in this season if they are able to beat Bayern Munich in this season after end of the break in round of the 16.

It seems you didn't read some of the rumors that are currently lively because even though it happened last season, there are rumors that Mbappe has been linked again with Madrid.
I'm actually not too sure because I still feel this is something that the media exaggerates, but until now the rumor continues to grow and is getting hotter.
Although indeed in the last few rumors it seems that Madrid are reluctant to comment on this and I like the attitude of Madrid now that they don't want to bother about Mbappe.

For the La Liga title our strongly believed Barcelona can get it, if we look at the statistics they are quite capable, but indeed after the world cup is over, is a possibility that the performance of Barcelona squad will decrease. One of the reasons is fatigue, but it doesn't take long for squad will adapt. I personally believe Barcelona will get the title, what will happen if they don't get the title of La Liga?

It would be too hasty to say Barcelona will be La Liga champions now. Because they are still not in a comfortable place to win the title. 2 points is a very small distance, I don't even think of it as a gap with Real Madrid who are 2 points below them. They are just better than last season. Barcelona has the opportunity to become champions this season, but it requires a difficult struggle with hard work, of course.

[zuzie]

I don't see Villarreal's performance dropping drastically, because even in terms of position they only dropped 2 ranks from the previous season. That means they are still a team that can be said to be stable, even though they have experienced a decline, it is not a significant decline. Actually they are a top 10 team in the standings table, and to be honest I didn't expect much from them.

The season in Laliga is only halfway, the opportunity to go further down or even go up further in the standings is still very much open. So I don't think Villarreal's position at the end of last season is comparable to being a source while at the moment this the new season is running half.  The results and who they are face are the main reference for seeing changes in the team
I see Villarreal at the moment have not shown that they can be better than last season.

I'm not sure if Barcelona can win the league this season,  Barcelona is so fragile in performance that they can end up  not maintaining the first position.  Barcelona performance is fragile that is why they couldn't qualify for in the Champions league.

Villarreal is a team that doesn't have high consistency, so it's natural that its position never settles in the top five or six, but I agree that Villarreal is a team that is in the top ten. Even from the last three seasons, it can be said that Villarreal experienced a slight decline and then only stayed in the top seven. If this season Villarreal can't finish in the top seven again, then I think that's normal and at least Villarreal can still finish in the top ten, that's good for Villarreal.
Considering the teams currently in the top six, it looks like they'll be able to keep it going. Therefore, it seems that Villarreal no longer has a chance to get a European ticket, but at least Villarreal is not experiencing a severe decline like Sevilla.

Because this season Sevilla is clearly very chaotic, because how can a team that has always been in or competed in the top four for the past few seasons but Sevilla has fallen so badly quickly.
Even at this moment Sevilla is still working hard just to get out and away from the relegation zone. As a team that is used to competing in the top four, it is of course easy for Sevilla to get out of the relegation zone. But what happened instead was that Sevilla looked like a mediocre team that didn't have the quality to be able to recover quickly, it was interesting to look forward to.

[AakZaki]

I think if Real Madrid let go of players like Luka Modric, Tony Kroos, and Benzema it would have a negative effect on their team. Benzema is one of the best strikers who has supported Real Madrid so far. Luka Modric on the other hand is a great midfielder. If Real Madrid leaves these senior players, the team will face some disaster.

Right now they are depending on these three players. Therefore, Anceloti must immediately find a replacement. But letting them not retire or leave is stupid, Madrid must immediately regenerate players. I hope they are not wrong and are effective in selecting players so that they continue to dominate the League and UCL. Because some clubs sometimes always play badly if they are left by key players in the team. Hopefully that doesn't happen in Madrid.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It is really hard to find a meaningful explanation for Atletico Madrid's current condition. They are already 13 points away from the leader while we aren't even exactly in the middle of the season. I would have liked to say that they wanted to focus on the Champions League more. But their results in the Champions League were also horrible. While they were the most powerful team of their group they just finished it in the last place. They got only 5 points in total. This is a complete failure for them so far.

Simeone has been managing them for 11 years. He must be knowing every positive and negative sides of this team. Maybe it isn't related to the players. It might be just due to Simeone's tactics' weakening in time. Maybe they need a new manager as of now.

Barcelona and real Madrid are doing very well in this season and atleteco already lost a lot of points against weak clubs, it's seems it's already impossible for them to play for la Liga title but they still have enough time to play for the first positions and at least get a champions league spot and i think they have tge required abilities to achieve this, we still in the first half of the season

It is very quickly to say something like that regarding the fact that Real Madrid have been a good side than Barca
But Barcelona have it own ways and they have the good coach and player's too
I think they can win the trophy at the end of the season

[bitgolden]

Villarreal's performance this season has drastically declined and the team is currently struggling at the moment. The international break should be an opportunity for every team to assess their performances so far this season and retrace their lapses and restrengthen before the league resumes so hopefully Villarreal will do same and get back to good form.

Since October Villarreal hasn't performing well and from their last 7 matches in La Liga they got 4 loses from it that this is not good for them and the situation are getting worse after Villarreal have to changed coach because Unay Emery has decide to left this team and joined to Aston Villa and this is quite risky for them because i was often to see there was a club who changed manager in the middle of competition but it cannot solved their problem and indeed Villarreal has got new manager Quique Setién and he might be can overcomes Villarreal performance later but i personally a bit doubt he can able to do that because his achievements doesn't so well even last time i heard he got sacked while train Barcelona

Sometimes teams do have down years after a good year, and that is what has happened to Villareal as well. Last year they were doing great, and there were some changes made, sometimes it was a forced one, sometimes it was a decision and in the end they are not doing that great anymore this year. It happens, it's a common thing in the football world.

One of the biggest examples in recent memory is Lille, who won the ligue 1 title over PSG which is one of the biggest achievements you could have as a French team, and then sucked just a year later. That is a common thing and we just need to focus on what we can do to recover and do better later on.

In my opinion, I don't know if they will be able to improve their position. As of right now, they are not playing very well. In my opinion, it is nearly impossible to imagine that they will be able to improve from here on out. The main thing I would like to point out is that they have not shown enough reliable performance through which we will be able to predict how they will perform in the future. In the same way as any other mid-table team, they have been inconsistent as well. As a result of this type of performance, it is hardly expected to see any improvement in the near future. There are not a lot of expectations I have for them. According to my opinion, the highest position they can achieve at the end of the season would be seventh.

Everything can still happen considering that Barcelona is only two points ahead of Real Madrid. La Liga still has a lot of games to play, Barcelona could drop points in the next few matches which will make Real Madrid take their position. Barcelona needs to continue to maintain a point advantage over Real Madrid to become La Liga champions this season, Xavi must not reduce Barcelona performance even a bit, which can lose the La Liga Trophy this season.

Because some clubs sometimes always play badly if they are left by key players in the team. Hopefully that doesn't happen in Madrid.

it's not easy to look for a luka modric clone for madrid, he is a creative midfielder who has good instincts even at his old age, there are speculations that bellingham is a potential future replacement but I personally am not so sure whether bellingham is the best candidate to replace modric. The regeneration issue in Madrid is quite complex imo.

Barcelona's performance is indeed on the rise in La Liga and they managed to top the standings. But I still have doubts about their performance and they haven't been fully tested so far because the season is still very long. Apart from that, the Blaugrana's chances of winning the title at the end of the season are still too early to talk about. I'm sure the two-point lead over Real Madrid won't last long, at least when El Clasico duels later, El Real will be able to steal full points and will take over the top of the standings.

[fuguebtc]

There are no many strikers who are available in the market. The ones that are available are not as good as the quality that Real Madrid will want but however any kind of striker that Real Madrid wants, they will be able to get him with money and because of the prestige of the club,  unless it is PSG that is contesting it with them then you know that PSG can always spend them to it
Meanwhile, Benzema is still in real madrid, for the mean time before he returns, Rodrygo and Velverder can be helping the club

Most chances they will not do any changes in winter transfer window with just some part-timer striker will be also enough for them but in Summer transfer window they will do better changes and try to bring quality replacements which are need to time for them as well because right now few players are going out of their best, and they need to do things as they are doing for decades few players are already under their radar which mean they will keep in touch with them, and they will try to engage them for having their squad more strong but still it's all needed time with money is never been problem for them and their current coach is also one of the best in this business which can turn tables into his favour without any big trouble.

I do not expect Real Madrid to make any big changes in this transfer market. I think they are preparing to wait until the next transfer window. And I honestly feel that in the next transfer window we can expect Real Madrid to make some really big moves. They are hoping to bring in a really capable striker. I think we all know that. And they are waiting for the right opportunity and also for the right choice. However, I wonder if the striker that they have available on the market right now might be a better option than what they will be able to get in the next transfer window.

[Velvet78]

It is really difficult to overlook Villarreal's change in one season. We are talking about a team that reached the semi-finals in the Champions League in the end. But now they are having really troubling days. We are seeing them in the middle of the standings currently. Especially their losses in the recent times caused them to lose a lot of points.

Maybe they are focused on the Europa Conference League this time. They finished the group stage as leader. They might want to achieve this title as well after achieving the Europa League title. But they should be really careful in the La Liga at the same time. There isn't any guarantee for their title in the ECL so they should fight for a European tournament spot in the La Liga.
