La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[emrecemsan]

Sevilla are technically much better than Getafe in the league. They have beaten them so many times that they have a huge superiority to them. But I wonder if they can turn this into an advantage in the match taking place this week. Because things are very complicated now. Sevilla are having one of their worst periods in the recent years. They are still inside the relegation zone and they couldn't win any match for many weeks. Even replacing their manager couldn't help them properly.

Getafe have a higher position in the standings now. I don't trust Sevilla about a win in this. They have zero home win so far. I know that they are in highly need of a victory to collect themselves but I won't bet on them until they maintain a decent streak.

I think for now it's not like that the current conditions for Sevilla are not very good and of course they will not be a real advantage in this regard especially in terms of position in fact for now Getafe is far superior.
Now is a good time for Sevilla to be looking for points but with the current form I think it will still be difficult for Sevilla and it is not impossible that they will also lose this match.

Atletico Madrid are not a reliable team like I said before. However I wonder whether something would change in a big match against Barcelona. Because Simeone might have a plan B for this match not to stay weak. They would play a controlled game I assume. They will need to stay strong in defense especially because Barcelona can easily dominate in the attacking side. Normally defending is the best thing Atletico Madrid do but I'm not sure of them this season. They are inconsistent there as well.

They lost to Real Madrid in Wanda Metropolitano and Barcelona might be the next big team in the league to do so. I will bet on Barcelona with some amount as their winning odd is pretty favourable which is over 2.00.

It is a bit surprising to me the fact that today are played a few matches, taking into account that January the sixth is one of the most important holidays in the country (Día de Reyes). It is like playing in Christmas Day. No important matches, anyway, but it is still surprising.

Back on topic, if anyone has followed my comments in this thread in the last weeks/months, he or she will notice that I usually defend Xavi and Barça. But this time I'm not sure whether they will be able to beat, or even draw Atlético de Madrid in their next appointment.

[Rana590]

Real Madrid are better placed to win the League. They are in great form. Another advantage they have is that Barcelona is currently having a bad form since their return from the world cup break. In addition, even Athletico are not playing good football at the moment. We are aware that the financial constraint Barca is facing hindering them due to the Financial Fair Play regulations. The UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations (FFP) are a set of regulations established to prevent professional football clubs spending more than they earn in the pursuit of success, and in doing so not getting into financial problems which might threaten their long-term survival.

Barcelona is still in its best form because the draw against Espanyol cannot be said that Barcelona is in a bad situation, indeed sometimes we always expect to win in every game that will be played, but the reality on the field sometimes ends with unexpected results, losing full points in the first match after the world cup break was very painful for barcelona because the hope of wanting to widen the gap in points instead they lost that opportunity.

real madrid and barcelona are only the difference in goal productivity in the standings table and the next match will be the difference for the two top teams in Laliga at the moment. real madrid and barcelona both have opponents that are relatively difficult to beat in the upcoming match.

There are enough match to play for both team. It is true that only win is not the result for any team. Match can end with draw or loss as match condition, team combination, situation differ. Both team have chance to secure first position. Continuous winning record can end by facing one team with another one. Let's wait some more match to see the standing.

What if Betis trows this game of Copa Del Rey today against Ibiza Islas ? The odds are terrifying great for a victory or a draw as Betis has a lot of important fronts to fight for now with still being a candidate in LaLiga for UCL spots but also fighting in Europa League so maybe Copa Del Rey is not so important for them. There are also no surprises yet in this competitions when it comes to important clubs so maybe today is the day.

Well ...I was on point with first half as Ibiza had 1-0 and everything was looking fine for my betting ticket of x17 odds  but then second half came in and Betis started to play a very aggressive football that in the end made them score 4 times and winning by 4-1 but I was close to catching a very big surprise in Copa del Rey.

Sometimes football leaves us in a very confused state. Making predictions and seeing an entirely different result. Initially, I knew Real Betis will have a win against Ibiza, but before the end of the first 20 minutes I felt threatened as the game went in a different direction from my expectation to my greatest surprise, I never knew the match will have such a result at the end of the 90 minutes. I believe more surprises will be coming from the Copa Del Rey.

Elche at the bottom with only 4 points. Rarely have I seen a team score as few points as Elche this season. Are they really that bad? Maybe it's lucky for Sevilla that they won't be last in any case and that the teams above don't have many points ahead. Sevilla may be performing the worst in the club's history, but what about Valencia? Once a regular participant in the CL is now only a moderate 10th place. Tomorrow Villareal will play at home against Real Madrid, not an easy game for Madrid at all. You can easily run into a defeat at Villareal. Benzema is fit again, that will make a difference for the Madrilenians.

[Raflesia]

The match between Elche and Celta Vigo today was more than I expected. seeing the condition of the teams attacking each other in this match is very good and I like games like this because their strengths are indeed comparable.
Celta Vigo's advantage at the start of the first half did not change until the end of the match, even though I didn't drop my bet in this match, this match was really worth watching.

[Pulsar77]

Elche are like running to a new record or something like that now.    Because they still have 0 win after leaving 16 matches behind in the season. I still don't understand how Atletico Madrid weren't very comfortable against them at all. Anyway Elche are surely going down to the second league by the end of the season. They are already far away from the border of the relegation field now. The players must be very demotivated after so many poor results and it will be very hard for them to save themselves.

I just hope that Sevilla don't become one of the relegated teams together with Elche. Sevilla have skilled players in the squad and all they need is some improvement in their mental condition.

I forgot about this match so I didn't have time to make a bet for Celta Vigo, because basically I also don't doubt Celta Vigo in this match. But in this match Celta Vigo is not very good in ball possession because Elche got the better ball possession, and I think both teams to score goals deserve to happen in this match.
Because in reality Elche also didn't play badly in the match so even though Celta Vigo still won, I think Elche can score goals.

But yes, so far this season Elche has been weak to be able to convert opportunities into goals, so it's not surprising that even though Elche was able to win in ball possession, the final result was that Elche still didn't have a goal.
With this defeat, of course, it will become increasingly difficult for Elche to get out of the relegation zone, and it seems that Elche will indeed be relegated at the end of this season because Elche's points at this moment are very low and it is difficult to catch points above it.

They were wrong in implementing the strategy when substitutions were transferred which made their game this time completely destroyed.
Their condition last season when they started with some of the starting XI was very good but when some players like Kounde are sold it has a lot to do with it.
They are still in the relegation zone as of now with 2 wins from 15 games obviously very bad for a club that last season at the start of the season was even in the top 3.

At the beginning of the season, absolutely any team can get into the top three, I think it works for at least three games. That is, at the beginning of the season you can play well the first three games and be even in first place (hardly so lucky that the opponents were easy), so it does not tell you anything. Besides, anything could have happened in a year, such as a slight change in the lineup. This is enough to cause a mess in the team and the results went down

btw when we talk about last season not only at the start of the season but even until the end of the season they were in the Champions League position.
Regardless of the start of the season or not, what I meant in my previous writing was not that, but their performance, which is now very different from before. I knew at the start of the season it would still be very possible for any team to be in the top 3 but the battle started from there and entering the next few weeks it was clearly getting more exciting and it became increasingly clear that several teams were performing well and not.

In general, yes, it all depends on the point of view, but what I meant was that sometimes after the first games of the season, the outsider teams are in the top 3 and go down in the standings during the season, which is basically typical for them. What I see now in the standings can hardly be called a hard fight. It is only between Barcelona and Real Madrid and perhaps between Atletico and Real Sociedad, I think the others will slowly lose points during the season

[Prince Malik]

Cadiz team surprised Valencia with an early goal by alcaraz in the 9th minute, after that Valencia didn't create many opportunities to score and they still didn't shoot goal, the first half ia just finished and i wonder what will be the changes that Gattuso will do to make more creativity in the offensive line, Valencia is very far away from the top teams and losing this match will make any European spot almost impossible

You're right, at the start of the season all teams have the chance to perform quite well but after a few matches are finished they play it will be seen which team is able to maintain their consistency in every match, barcelona and Real madrid always at the forefront of Laliga in the hunt for titles and are hard to break  by another team. Atletico Madrid and the team under it are not strong enough to get rid of the dominance of Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of the Laliga standings. Real Betis, who appeared to be more brilliant at the start of this season, but slowly their performance has decreased because they are unable to provide stronger resistance when they have to face big teams.

Barcelona's only formidable opponent in La Liga is Real Madrid. Barcelona are often beaten by Real Madrid. So the coach of the team Xavi should identify their problems very well and work on them.

El Clasico is always a very complicated match in the final results, because these two teams are equally strong and sometimes the final result is a draw, but seeing the first meeting this season, Barcelona has lost to Real Madrid. even that was the first defeat during the match that has been played by barcelona this season in Laliga. I think Xavi is not only thinking about this 1 match to improve because 1 match will not produce anything for them, Xavi must be able to present an interesting game in every match they play no matter the big team or the weak team. because the additional 3 points are very meaningful to pursue in order to maintain the hope of becoming Laliga champions this season.

Right now, I can't believe that Sevilla will do anything to deal with this situation. The chances of them losing this match again are high in my opinion as I predicted that they would lose this match in the first place. In my opinion, they are a much better team than Getafe, and I do not disagree with that statement. But this season, it is really hard to believe. Another thing is that they are in the relegation zone right now.

Sevilla, in my opinion, is the one that is aiming for a draw in this match and I think they will try their hardest. I actually do not think that they have the confidence to go for a win in this match.

Of course this made Valencia a little surprised because of Cadiz's early goal in the 9th minute. Meanwhile, until now in the 65th minute, Valencia has not been able to reply to Cadiz's goal. This is interesting because, however, Valencia actually played an attacking game and quite dominated the ball possession from Cadiz. But on the other hand, it is less accurate in the line of attack and wastes many opportunities and does not emphasize strong attacks. Not to mention that Cadiz is also strengthening the defense so they hope not to concede a goal and maintain the advantage until the end.

I'm not talking about Real Madrid or Barcelona in this case because really they don't need to be mentioned anymore because we certainly know that every season only 3 teams are always active in the Champions League, namely Madrid, Atelico and Barcelona. But my focus is still on Sevilla and I think their drop which you think is a bit natural is not too natural for me. For 3 consecutive seasons they have always been in 4th place but now they are really struggling in the relegation zone and this is not normal for a club that was actually strong in the previous 3 seasons.

Villareal vs Madrid,

Madrid have statistic better play on away, they have 7 won on play away, and have target to 8th on Estadio de la Ceramica. For sure is not easy, because Villareal is look on fire, in the last 6 matches they always win, but what make me doubt is they lost versus Mallorca on they home 0-2. Which this situation, I really sure to bet on Madrid even have a bit of doubt about Vedat Muriqi, Mallorca player who listed on top score table.

I also paid attention to these (as it seems to me erroneous) odds and I think that this is an easy bet on Real. As good as Villarreal is with weak teams (although even here they fail sometimes as we can see) playing against a motivated Real Madrid which have the same number of points as Barcelona is completely different. I would rate 1.85-1.9 odds as worth betting, but the bookies give even more generous odds.

Cadiz is holding on to their one goal lead, if they can be able to hold Valencia until the end of 90minutes they will be going home with all three points tonight. Valencia have been sloppy , they  created quite some chances and have failed to convert them, on the other hand Cadiz have been impressive defensively. Cadiz have a better record than valencia in their last 5 games for both teams. I think Cadiz have a better chance to win this game than Valencia, Valencia will have to do more to come back into this game.

Valencia was not lucky enough in the match against cadiz. It's cadiz who surprisingly making the goal against valencia and win the game while cadiz was nothing but valencia seems not lucky enough in the match. I think that we will see cadiz will be slowly going up again. Im so glad to see that cadiz was holding the game properly even though valencia was having 75% ball possessions but luck was playing a lot in this case. Valencia must let cadiz to take the full points from the team. That was making cadiz to get a better position. Cadiz was going out from the relegation zone slowly

[Rengga Jati]

Valencia was not lucky enough in the match against cadiz. It's cadiz who surprisingly making the goal against valencia and win the game while cadiz was nothing but valencia seems not lucky enough in the match.

Not only were they unlucky, but their game was less than optimal and good. They only had ball possession but were unable to take advantage of opportunities to attack properly so they lost quite a lot of balls while attacking. Their front line is not optimal here, in fact, they tried 11 shots but were completely inaccurate, only wasting the ball in the opponent's area. This time the game was over and Cadiz won by winning 0-1 from Valencia. What a disappointing result for Valencia.

Right now, I can't believe that Sevilla will do anything to deal with this situation. The chances of them losing this match again are high in my opinion as I predicted that they would lose this match in the first place.

It is very ironic when you see Seville's condition. Even though it's still the middle of the season, it seems like they don't have the fighting spirit anymore to at least get out of the relegation zone. It's really very unfortunate, Sevilla is not a fake team, in fact, they are usually in the top flight, but this season is really dilapidated. For some reason, the management still hasn't tried to make some changes to this club and save it from the relegation zone. Really sad
