La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[shield132]

Maybe people talk like that, but in my opinion Barca has a much stronger team than Real, Ansu Fati provides great games, Griezman has yet to show what he knows and with Messi it is an amazing trio with having Coutinho as an assistant, Real struggled a lot previous the game may be a good environment and defense, but they are hampered by the attack.

Much stronger?! I disagree if you state "much stronger", how can? Real Madrid also has good players and they are possible to win el Classico. For me, Barca only has Messi in the front line as the most effective striker after Suarez leaves. While Real Madrid has no big difference in their main players. Both Barca and Real Madrid have the same chance to win in el Classico. Don't underestimate Real Madrid, they the winner last season, right? 

Despite the fact that I am a fan of Barcelona, I admit that Barca isn't as great as it was at past. Right now, whole team has a hope of Koeman. This man gives huge hopes and previous matches weren't bad but who knows, future is here. But I don't know why he decided that Suarez wasn't a good candidate and necessary player for team because according to statistics, he is just amazing and Messi and him play very well together. Griezmann seems to be just in stuck, he is amazing player but plays on a lowest level in Barcelona, seems he can't suit to Barcelona but Koeman seems trust him and has his hope.
And Real Madrid? They are doing great but time will tell us what will happen, Barcelona is building from zero right now, will it end up as Phoenix? Who knows...

And Real Madrid?

I also don't understand how the let Suarez go, moreover to a top League rival but to be fair Barcelona have not been that bad so far. They have easily been scoring goals as compared to Real Madrid and this might come to effect at the upcoming El clasico if everything remains constant.

I wouldn't say stronger but maybe equal.
It is the same when people say that Real Madrid is better ignoring what Messi has done all those years.
In the end, El Classico is a game that everything can happen in 90' minutes. A team might be in a good day or not. We should not underestimate neither Real nor Barca.

There are differences in the attitude of the players of the two teams towards el classico. Real Madrid players go to this match as to another championship game, and Barcelona players go to this match strongly motivated. For them in this match their fate is being decided.

Spanish laliga seasons has only two el-clasico matches one at the camp nou the other at the spanish capital, but there are 30 plus games for barcelona and real madrid after this two games bragging rights left out el-clasico will not crown this seasons spanish la liga champion.

Coaman is working hard on barcelona and it evidence by this seasons few matches more players would come in next year -january-.

[kawetsriyanto]

I agree that Barcelona is not stronger than Real Madrid, because the quality of the players that Barcelona and Real Madrid have are equally good.
So both have the same chance to win La Liga title.

Yep, both Barcelona and Real Madrid players have quality players. We cannot underestimate one of them, both will have the same chance to win if they play in El Classico. The winning team must depend on which team are ready for the next match. And also how the coach can choose the most appropriate strategy and motivate the players to play with a big spirit to win. The first El Classico in this season should be an interesting match to see because the winner in EL Classico may improve their player's motivation to play better in the next matches.

Even though the points to win needs to be acquired from all games and the team that has more losses and or draw would come second, we can't still imagine any third team wining the league. And if it's just Barcelona or Real Madrid winning, people would be curious to know which of these team is the best one. El-Classico brings the two giants on same match. Though most of the time, El-Classico is not decisive for league, it's for the fans.

You are right. Barca and Real both are giant club on LA Liga.  The players of both the teams are of the equal quality. We cannot call anyone bad. I think El Classico's victory depends a lot on the mentality of the players. If they perform well in previous matches then they are much stronger mentality. Again, it is also depended on the skill of the coach. Since the players of both the teams are good, the coach of the team who can use the players appropriately and adopt good tactics will win.

[swogerino]

I think based on the games of today that both Barcelona and Real Madrid have some easy opponents to play against with Atletico Madrid and Sevilla both having a bit more difficult ones.I have not followed that much La Liga lately as I am thinking to place a parlay on the 4 strong teams today but I am afraid of surprises.

[dwminer1]

Granada CF - Sevilla FC
The favorite according to bookmakers is Sevilla, which seems to be in good shape. It is worth noting, however, that Granada's offensive is doing very well this season, as their rivals have not yet kept a clean sheet this season. My bet: both teams to score.
Getafe CF - FC Barcelona
There is no doubt that Barcelona is the favorite of the Saturday meeting. If Ronald Koeman's players play at a similar level as in the first two games of the new season, they should score three points. My bet: Barcelona win

I’m just reading this article about Gareth Bale ]https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2020/10/16/5f8a098b22601dee758b45d2.html[url][/url] and his complete transformation at Tottenham and I wonder if Real couldn’t have made the extra effort around Bale and resolve disagreements with him?
Real spent a lot of money on him and in the end they let him go quite cheaply in a situation where due to the corona crisis it will be increasingly difficult to raise money to buy expensive and good players in the future.
Situations like this should not happen to them again.
Bale didn't forget to play and in Tottenham he will show it very soon.

@Daniel91 the problem with Bale is that Madrid expected him to speak Spanish, gel with his teammates but he was a shy person who just loved playing football, and we all saw what he did on the pitch whenever he was playing. However what surprises me is that Zidane claims that he had no issues with Bale, which puzzles me because he didn’t allow Bale to shine on the pitch and that’s why he left?.

Zizou came and brought 3 Champions League trophies to Bernabeu and Bale has never existed in the plans of Zizou. Despite of some fantastic goals Bale scored in some important matches. He helped Real won against Liverpool with unbelievable goal. I think Bale would have had different career in Real if Zizou had not became coach of the Blancos.

Bale didn't forget to play and in Tottenham he will show it very soon.

Bale is still one of the best winger in Europe. Soon after he gets his fitness back he will show it in Spurs.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Athletic Madrid has not been one of my favorite teams to bet on in a match neither do I bet against them because, they aren't so consistent at winning, most of their games ends in a draw which is always hard to predict and under 2.5 which carries a veey small odd especially with this team and that's also a risk. Seeing them to have scored in the first half against Celta De Vigo and watching the Suarez and Diego Costa combination seems to be a breath of fresh air for the team on their odds of winning. Two goal hungry strikers, although it still seems the match would still end under 2.5 but then in a win to Atlectico Madrid.

Suarez off the pitch for Carasco, I hope this coach knows what's his doing because, I believe Suarez betters the winning chances than Carasco and there I still a lot of time on the clock.

[Chrystora123]

the game had only started 41th minutes but Cadiz had the lead, I am very worried about the final result.  to me, it will be very painful if Madrid lose this match.  the match is still long, hopefully, Madrid can turn the score around.  go go madrid show me a miracle..

Unfortunately real madrid where not able pull off a miracle against a new promoted cadiz losing to them at their home is unbelievable.
Real madrid despite leading this season has not had it easy they always have to struggle to win,
Now its left to barcelona to put Getafe away and get all three points.

[sana54210]

Just because a manager doesn't have a problem with a player doesn't mean he will put him on the pitch every single game neither. He played Bale fair enough, not like the day he took the reigns he put the player in the bench and just let him rot, dude scored two goals in Liverpool champions league win as a huge example, Zidane trusted him to be a focal point of that team at the biggest stage of the whole football world.

Maybe he assumed dude could be a great player, but he wasn't a great teammate, even not a bad person or not get along, just not a friendly outgoing shy person which could have created some problems and instead maybe play a guy who has a higher team chemistry even if the player is not that well. Look at Vicinious Jr for example, dude is definitely worse but he got the jersey few times over Bale just because of chemistry deals.

[yeamin.rsl]

Real Madrid and Zidane took this game lightly and they paid the price for it. Very poor performance from los blancos and not good enough.
But great performance from Cadiz , they were the deserving winners of the game.

[Darkoth89]

Unfortunately real madrid where not able pull off a miracle against a new promoted cadiz losing to them at their home is unbelievable.

So the current champion coming back after beeing 1-0 down against a team that just got promoted is something that you would call a miracle? For me that would've been something to expect from Real Madrid. The real "miracle" here is that they didn't come back and that Cadiz won that match. At least when you compare both teams on paper. But Real played poorly today and Cadiz could've even scored more. They are doing surprisingly well so far for a team coming from the second league.

[BITCOIN4X]

But great performance from Cadiz , they were the deserving winners of the game.

I don't think Real Madrid will take this match as a light match. The main reason is, all the player Zidane sent to the field are the main player who are usually plotted in formation this season. It's not always possible for them to win games, but Cadiz was just lucky to beat the defending champions with a goal in the 16th minute. Cadiz won a fantastic match and a gambling house too, I think. LOL

Hope Barcelona can win the match against Getafe. This result will take them to the first position of the standings. The advantage is that Madrid lose, and Barcelona must take advantage of this opportunity.

[boltz]

Real Madrid just got defeated by Cadiz , a new coming team and I must say that it did not look like a clean game between this team as Real Madrid did not want to attack in order to score and they gave the ball away every time so no wonder why Cadiz won. If the statistics are right, Real Madrid will not win this year LaLiga and it will be a Barcelona year without any doubts.
