La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ryu_Ar1]

Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently between a rock and a hard place. Both teams are facing champion league and Europa league pressure respectively. For that, I think la Liga will be quite unpredictable seeing that Real Sociedad despite being in the Europa League is also pushing so hard this season to have a place at the top of the la Liga list after experiencing their last la Liga title and several runner-ups since 1981, I can't underrate their ability this year.

I think they are aware of what they have to do because that is the basic thing. Moreover, they are a big club who really have to know that the bigger they are, they also have to be able to continue to compete wherever it is because this is like the real provisions.
This is also what made them known and labeled as a big club, right?

That's true, also i don't really think that Barcelona will focus on the Europa league because it's not an important trophy for a club like Barcelona, real Madrid club used to have such situations so i don't think this will be a problem for them, i expecte that the battle for the trophy will not be easy for both teams and yes la Liga is really very hard to predict right now

I think Real Madrid will be back stronger than before by their upcoming games. They had some problems against smaller teams recently and lost so many points during this time. Barcelona have benefited from it and taken the lead. But the gap is only two points anyway. Real Madrid should improve their effort in the La Liga to have a good form.

Winning against Barcelona won't be enough for them for the La Liga title in the end. They need to keep up a solid form in the rest of the games as well just as Barcelona do. I know that things are becoming more serious in the Champions League on one hand. But this shouldn't affect the concentration level of the Real Madrid players in the La Liga badly.

In fact, Real Madrid are showing great results in games with small clubs - the percentage of victories this season is higher than in the past, when they became champions. Lagging behind Barcelona, I can only explain the abnormally good result of Barcelona. But I am sure that Barcelona will not be able to show such results for a long time and we will see something similar to what happened with Union Berlin.

It would really be a big surprise to me if Barcelona keep up this form until the end of the season. I also think they will start stumbling at some point. However I'm not sure whether they would experience a similar thing to the one Union Berlin had. Because Union Berlin's has been a really bad streak full of draws and losses.

But Barcelona might not lose points that often. We should be seeing this rivalry continuing until the end of the season whichever team get ahead. I'm just enjoying this season because it is nothing like the previous one. That one was really boring to me as Real Madrid didn't struggle at all.

Indeed. The problem of having a tight schedule is only available once there is many injuries and less players to rotate. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have enough players to participate in different games except for one or two positions where it might be hard to find a good substitute, like Benzema case.
Otherwise, the title will remain between these two clubs in La Liga.

Well, I'm not sure that Barcelona will put all its resources into winning the title of the winner of the Europa League and I don't think it will be a great tragedy for the club's management to fail in this matter. Still, I think that the main priority for Barcelona is to win La Liga and if that happens, Xavi will be forgiven for all the other failures.

Barcelona's main goal is to win the La Liga title. The Europa League title is not Barcelona's goal. I don't think Barcelona won't try for the Europa League title though. Xavi has yet to win a title as a coach. He will definitely want to win the title. If Barcelona can perform well and win their next match against Manchester United in the Europa League, Xavi might try his best to win the Europa League title. But first of all, Barcelona's performance needs to be stabilized. No title can be won if the team's performance is not stable.

It's true. Barcelona will really want to win La Liga in this season especially they have advantage on the table before World Cup start. It is because star players would like to join a club that can win title and at best, win titles in recent seasons. They less likely want to join a club that just ended previous seasons at either runner-up or third or fourth positions in their national league.

Difference between the champions and runner-up positions probably is too big and can not be covered easily just by one or two big transfers.

[Ayers]

Sevilla had a really bad first half of the season.
They have too much draw and then get lost consecutively as for the result they are staying at the bottom 3 which it's quite misery , one thing i believe that they would survive ... the next transfer window must be a momentum to comeback to where they belong , into the top 5 ... at least get into the mid table.

Today they competed against Benfica, they managed to get a win with 1 point superiority, with this win, hopefully, this will trigger Sevilla to get back up from their slump and try to get into the top 10 and not like they are currently in the very bottom ranking.

It took 61 minutes to score against Benfica, a goal from Rakitic gave Sevilla a positive result in the Friendlies match. Even though the victory against Benfica did not occur in an official match, Sevilla can make this moment a turning point from their poor performance so far. Sevilla must maintain their form after the start of the League, they need to improve their position in the standings to get out of the relegation zone.
Sevilla also needs to bring in new players to increase the strength of the squad, squad depth needs to be maintained to get back into the big six position. A team of Sevilla class must be able to finish in the European zone, if they can't do it, this season will be the worst season for Sevilla.

Ended by 1-0, not a high voltage match,
The match was a friendly match between two clubs, and to be honest, no one gives a damn about friendlies. As such, I believe that this victory for Sevilla is not going to have any significant impact on anything in the near future. Due to the fact that this was a friendly match, I don't think that any of the players gave too much importance to this match. In addition, this is not meant to cause any team to suddenly improve or drop in performance as a result of this. This is why I think we should also not think too much about this match as well.

Overall, it is better for Barcelona to fight for the La Liga title this season because considering that Barcelona's strongest competitor is also there, namely Real Madrid. But Xavi will also get a bit more credit if he is able to win the Europa League title this season and in fact Barcelona could get both trophies in different competitions this season if they use all the resources they have at the moment.

La liga would become the sense title to be won by barcelona. Barcelona didn't need rush to win some titles for this season. As long as barcelona can win la liga's tittle and that's good enough. Barcelona didn't need to be greedy but it must trust the process. It has not yet meet the quality to compete in the champion league. that means barcelona must focus to increase the capability from the squad to compete in the champion league next season. There will be also another home work just like barcelona needs to sell some useless players that didn't needed for the upcoming season to make sure barcelona can buy new players next month as transfer season already opened in january.

Not sure if Barcelona have a big chance in the Europa League, have you seen the list of teams that are currently left in this tournament? There are a lot of contenders for the title and the very first opponent in the playoffs can be impassable for Barcelona, since Manchester United shows a very good game, especially at home, so let's not rush and see what Barcelona can show in matches with Manchester United. There are more chances in La Liga for now, but there is Real Madrid...

Xavi's failure is currently not very visible, in fact, in my opinion, he has succeeded in restoring Barcelona's identity, which had slumped last season. We can see Barcelona in his hands now at the top of the standings. I'm not going to turn a blind eye to his failure in the Champions League, but don't let that take away from what he did to get Barcelona to this stage. However, he became one of the people who managed to raise the morale of Barcelona even though he had not yet received the expected achievements.

Barcelona comes from the UCL so he has to play against the second-placed team in the Europa League group.
Meanwhile I got 8 teams from UCL namely Ajax Amsterdam, Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona, ​​​​Sporting, Salzburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Sevilla and Juventus.
And the 8 teams from Europa League second-placed are PSV, Rennes, AS Roma, Union Berlin, Man United, Midtjylland, Nantes and AS Monaco

Barcelona must think to play seriously in any match. it doesn't matter what kind of title that might be won by barcelona as long as barcelona would able to win it and there will be guarantee place for barcelona for the next champion league. It seems like that people were also still seeing europa league as a bad achievement that can be achieved by a big team like barcelona. I know that barcelona can do better rather than try to win the europa league trophy. The problem is barcelona itself could be lost against another team in europa league and none knows what's gonna be the result between barcelona against MU. There will be so many changes to come very soon.

After all, the clubs that are currently in the European leagues are no less interesting. At least Barcelona also must have experienced many obstacles to be able to get an easy position. There are so many clubs that have the potential to be above Barcelona, such as Man United, Ajax, Salzburg, Sporting, and many more. Besides that, La Liga is currently led by Barcelona for a while but with a difference of 2 points from Real Madrid, it is still not safe enough.
Barcelona has players who have performed outstandingly at the World Cup and Xavi should be more aware that the potential of his squad can be put to good use.

Is this a joke about Real Sociedad? They are 10 points behind Real Madrid and Barcelona and in general their game is quite mediocre (goals scored/conceded +4). As for Real Madrid and Barcelona, they are in this position every season as they compete for several titles at once and I don't think that the pressure this season is more serious than usual. The only thing that makes this season different is the World Cup in the middle of the season.

[Razmirraz]

The coach knows what to do, rotation needs to be done when faced with a busy schedule. Player injuries cannot be avoided, when in this situation the coach can be confused due to the difficulty of finding a suitable replacement. The Benzema case is one of the examples that made Ancelotti confused about finding a replacement for the reserve player, one of the paths that Real Madrid had to take was only bringing in new players to maintain the team's performance.
Real Madrid still chasing Barcelona in La Liga and trying to defend their UCL title, will need to sign a talented striker when the transfer market opens.

The European league title is not Barcelona's main goal and it is true that you said winning the La Liga title is the main focus for Barcelona, here Xavi's fate as a coach will be determined whether he is worthy of being with Barcelona until the new season or not. Behind that all the Barcelona players seem to be in prime condition and there is no doubt about winning the title, maybe their rival Real Madrid will be the obstacle to winning the La Liga title later.

But Xavi will also get a bit more credit if he is able to win the Europa League title this season and in fact Barcelona could get both trophies in different competitions this season if they use all the resources they have at the moment.

Of course, I think Barcelona don't think much about the Europa League. Xavi is only in his second season there. La Liga is the main target, so they should focus on that. The Europa League is second, if Barcelona win it's a bonus.
But with the current state of things players should have no problems, they should be able to compete for the Europa League and La Liga.

The Europa League trophy doesn't really matter, do you believe what you just said..?
The Europa League trophy is more prestigious than the Domestic league trophy, a team that wins the Europa League has the opportunity to win the European Super Cup, because the scheme will bring together teams that have won the UCL and UEL trophies.
I don't need to explain at length to you, as a football fan, of course you already understand this.
