La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Sebas.tian]

Week 15
After the World Cup and before the Transfer Market. There are no special matches. I think Big clubs will be favourites to win.

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano
Real Betis vs Athletic Bilbao
Atletico Madrid vs Elche
Getafe vs Mallorca
Cadiz vs Almeria
Celta Vigo vs Sevilla
Real Valladolid vs Real Madrid
Barcelona vs Espanyol
Real Sociedad vs Osasuna
Villarreal vs Valencia

Maybe the evenly matched match is Villarreal vs. Valencia, but I guess Villarreal will win.

Real Valladolid will make this match a surprise match to people, because they will like to use all their strength and energy to play Real Madrid to achieve victory from them since Karim Benzema is not too balance to play this match. If what they displayed in their last match, they can display more than that with Real Madrid, I believe they will end the match with smile because there are some signs that show that Real Madrid performance is about to reduce in the area of attack. Barcelona will never allow their opponent to stop them not to achieve victory from this first match after the FIFA world cup competition.

sorry i don't want to be rude, but unfortunately i'm the very honest and sincere type
but in non-competitive championships, such as the Spanish one
it's always the big teams that win the Scudetto, so I don't understand where the news is in this regard

[Cryptmuster]

Barcelona can afford to play even without Lewandowski and I also think that Memphis Depay is a great striker,he showed that with Netherlands in the World Cup we just left behind.Real Madrid has got nothing to do with this,they need to win their games but they can't rely on the fact that without Lewandowski Barcelona will have difficulties winning games,the strong point of Barcelona is their midfield as it is exactly the midfield which wins you or loses you the matches.
Barcelona has the capacity of winning even without Lewandowski but of course the fact that he will not be playing may have some sort of impact in the team but not up to the level that they should not win games.

Lewandowski is the best scorer of the team and in fact he is now leading in La Liga with 13 goals, the fact that he is a very important player for Barcelona and perhaps if not him, then Barcelona would not be able to compete with Real Madrid in the first place. And why do you evaluate the possibilities of Barcelona without Lewandowski? Barcelona bought him to be a centre-forward, he's doing a great job and he has a very good chance of becoming top scorer in La Liga.

[Docnaster]

I do not have the slightest doubt that Barcelona will not be difficult, the maximum that can happen is a draw in one of the matches, but clearly not a defeat. So the situation in the standings will continue to be difficult.  They do not depend heavily on Lewandowski, so it will not be difficult to rebuild the lineup, it is their main advantage

A draw is clearly not Barcelona's goal when facing Espanyol let alone losing. They are only two points ahead of Real Madrid who are in second place, Xavi will not waste the opportunity for an additional three points even though he cannot play Lewandowski in this match. Xavi still has several reliable strikers, the situation will not make it difficult for Barcelona especially when they are playing at Camp Nou, Barcelona will try to do their best to secure their position in the first place.

Barcelona actually has nothing much fighting for this season apart from Laliga. They are also in the race for The Europa League but I know they aren't the favourites. Even though they are among the biggest names, I won't be surprised if they don't succeed there. It was exactly what happened last season, when Frankfurt took them unaware. Infact Barcelona doesn't have any good record in Europa league and Xavi doesn't have much experience in playing European competition. So, his best shot should be Laliga and he would not compromise it with a club like Espanyol .
Therefore a bet on Barcelona is not a wasteful bet.

One of interesting match on week 15 is Real Betis vs Athletic Bilbao this because the position for both of teams is not so different and they also had same target reach to champion league zone at the end of season besides that they also want to utilized this match to bounce back because seems their consistency were unstable but home team Real Betis was slightly the favourite to win the match because Betis was quite strong during playing at home that so far only Atletico Madrid who can able to beat them at their home ground but don't mean Bilbao is weak opponent because during this season their away records is more good than their home matches so lets see who will be the winner of this match

There is another interesting match next week, because of the position of the teams who will play against each other, and it is the one that will be played between Real Sociedad and Osasuna. I don't expect it to be a great match, but the results could pose a rearrangement of the classification.

[SquallLeonhart]

Barcelona does have players who will replace Lewandowski, but the confidence in the players who will replace Lewandowski's position is more or less in doubt because of Lewandowski's good performance to increase the productivity of goals on Barcelona's front lines. Barcelona have little choice but to rotate their front line players, and Xavi Hernandez will try his luck and hope that the player who will fill the empty slot on the front lines can play his role properly.

They could always just put Depay there as usual and they could make some profit from such movement as well. I am not saying that he is a great player and all, because he may not be so great at times, but it is obvious that he is good enough to sustain until Lewandowski is back. Lewandowski is not injured or anything, just gone for 2-3 games if I am not wrong, and Depay could handle the situation for just 2-3 games as well, Barcelona as a whole could handle it that much.

All they have to do is focus on making sure that they are not relying on the striker to score anymore, they need to attack all together and that could help them cover the difference easily.

However, however, we don't know for sure whether Depay will be able to give his best during the match vs Espanyol, Ateltico Madrid and Real Betis. this is a challenge for Xavi, as well as the cohesiveness of the Barcelona players later. I don't doubt Depay, he can be counted on when Lewandowski is absent. even so, Lewandowski's absence will greatly affect Barcelona's sharpness later. fortunately in the match vs Espanyol, Barcelona played at home, Camp Nou. but for the next two matches, Barcelona will play as a guest team. and I think without Lewandowski Barcelona will lose a bit of sharpness. but, we cannot predict in detail. the reason is, maybe Xavi has prepared other plans and strategies to face Espanyol, Atletico and Betis later.

As for El Real, they have no problems when playing the game later after La Liga is rolled back. Real Valladolid is not a tough team for them to overthrow, maybe only Villarreal will provide a little resistance. so, Madrid has the potential to shift the ranking at the top of the standings if Barcelona slips in the match later.

[Fesatmas]

Atletico Madrid will host Elche in their first week. This is a good opportunity for them, because their current opponents are the bottom-order occupants of the relegation zone. In the last 5 matches of Atletico Madrid, they only recorded 1 win 2 draws and 2 others ended in disappointment because they had to lose. Before it's too late, they must immediately improve their game and a win in this match will determine their journey in the next match. By winning this match, it will make their confidence better and that's good for their psychology.

against Espanyol, Xavi is certainly optimistic that he will get 3 points. Espanyol is not a strong team this season. they are only marginally better than teams in the relegation zone. it shouldn't be a difficult thing for Barca to overcome Espanyol easily.
getting 3 additional points will be good for Barca to increase the difference from Madrid. because now Madrid will continue to follow Barca.

Espanyol was not a strong team and i thin that barcelona can beat it easily without any doubt and the only problem. It can be considered as easy points for barcelona. Espanyol must win against barcelona to make sure if it will be going up again.
Barcelona needs to win and it will be giving a pressure to the real madrid who was still under barcelona at this moment. Barcelona has no choice other than winning the match.

It's good they are facing Elche off at home as they can help get Athletico Madrid booster back the confidence in the player's as the team.  Diego Simeone has been speculated to leave the club because of how poor they went winning just twice of the last five game's they played. Elche also are the worst side in spanish league currently as they've secured just a single draw and three points they are surely getting relegated. Felix of Portugal is eager to leave the club could be from a fallout with coach of other players which affects the squad.
That should not drop down the form for them to win the game in the next few days Athletico Madrid should win

[Z-tight]

Diego Simeone has been speculated to leave the club because of how poor they went winning just twice of the last five game's they played.

I feel Diego Simeone should leave and try out another club. I believe he has done all he possibly can do at Athletico madrid and right now the team is not moving forward with him. Diego's strategy of sitting back with plenty defenders and using the counter attack to score goals is no more working for him and Athletico madrid, he has won many things for the club and they will never forget him, but i believe his time in the team is coming to an end. If he leaves, i know he would easily find a new club for himself, probably in the premier league, because i would like to see him coach in England.

[Cookdata]

Real Valladolid will make this match a surprise match to people, because they will like to use all their strength and energy to play Real Madrid to achieve victory from them since Karim Benzema is not too balance to play this match.

Barcelona will never allow their opponent to stop them not to achieve victory from this first match after the FIFA world cup competition.

This will likely not happen buddy, do you know why? The last time Valladolid met with Real Madrid, Madrid won them and guess what, Kareem Benzema wasn't around that time for some reasons I don't know and if you look at Real Madrid last couple of matches, you will notice that he has been away and Madrid is doing pretty well, the thing is that Real Madrid will be okay with or without Benzema because they have other guys that are good in their own way. I missed two guys since beginning of the season, the likes of Casemiro and Marcelo but in few weeks to come, I have a good feeling that Madrid will be making moves to purchase new young players if the management is in need of them.

[skarais]

A draw is clearly not Barcelona's goal when facing Espanyol let alone losing. They are only two points ahead of Real Madrid who are in second place, Xavi will not waste the opportunity for an additional three points even though he cannot play Lewandowski in this match. Xavi still has several reliable strikers, the situation will not make it difficult for Barcelona especially when they are playing at Camp Nou, Barcelona will try to do their best to secure their position in the first place.

Barcelona are favorites to win the game even though they look worried without Lewandowski. In fact, Espanyol has also often made it difficult for Barcelona in its last 5 matches where Espanyol managed to force Barcelona to draw 2 times. But overall, Barcelona definitely have a good record against Espanyol with 33 wins, 11 draws and 5 losses according to sources.

Anyways Barcelona so far is very strong at home, they have never lost and also never conceded from 7 league match. Barcelona only draw 1 of their 7 home matches at Laliga, while they managed to score 17 goals. I know it's a good record, and I hope they can keep it up.

It seems that Atletico Madrid will find it a bit difficult in this match, I don't mean to underestimate Atletico Madrid considering their performance has been quite bad this season and maybe Elche will be a tough opponent for them. Even though Elche is at the bottom of the board, of course they also want to get better results in order to lift their standings and keep them away from the relegation zone this season.

I don't think Atletico will have big problems against Elche. their performance is declining. but from the last 2 matches carried out by Atletico after the world cup break, they showed a pretty good game.
so facing Elche, I don't think it will be a barrier for Atletico to get the win.

I agree that his strategy doesn't work on his current team but it's because of his transfer policy in the last two seasons. I hope we don't forget the fact that he won LaLiga in 2021 by having 2 points gap with Real Madrid and 7 with Barcelona. It's such a disgrace for him if Atletico decide to sack him when this season isn't over yet. Being on the 5th position currently isn't that bad though.

I don't think the transfer policy with their strategy has anything to do with that. If they play more attacking of course they will be able to because there are lots of players in their attack line like Griezmann, Felix or Morata who are actually very good but Simeone is still happy with his defensive style even though if we see they are very bad there.
Their 2021 season looks much more aggressive with their midfield which always manages to dominate the field but for now it seems lost because they are only focused on waiting in defense.

Elche have not been impressive in thier performance this season. They have a very weak attack that have failed to score in four of thier six La Liga matches. Atletico Madrid might not have been very impressive this season like it was last season but Elche might not be able to stop them from clinching the victory in this match. Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid need to put more effort if they want to be in the Champions League next season. Winning the la Liga would be a very big task for them because they are thirteen points below the current league leaders Barcelona and other top teams like Real Madrid and Real Soceidad equally have strong squads.

Elche was on the relegation zone. I guess that the match between atletico madrid against elche must not be counted. That's very easy to predict which will win as elche was at the bottom of standing for now. It's always losing and it was rarely winning against another team. No chance for elche and 0 point for sure. So, how big your expectation for elche against atletico madrid? It can only rely on miracle that would help elche to win the match against atletico.
I kinda disbelieve if atletico will not win the match against elche. That's a free points for atletico.

And all the other Laliga forward?
Lewandowski has made 14 appearances for Barcelona in Laliga, he has scored 13 goals and that is the highest number of goals scored by a player in Laliga this season. Lewandowski leads the current top scorer standings, and if he has to be absent for 3 matches then of course Barcelona will feel a bad impact. I'm worried about that, and I really hope Xavi has a good solution from the rest of the players.

It is rather interesting that despite the total dominance of Barcelona (according to the numbers - they scored 88% of points), Lewandowski's performance is far from record-breaking. Ronaldo scored 20 goals in his first 12 games for Real in La Liga. Apparently this record will not be broken by anyone for a long time, although ... we are waiting for Mbappe
