La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[borovichok]

So here's my tip for today!

ALMERÍA vs ATL. MADRID

It is true that the visiting team comes from a defeat, however, it was against the powerful Barcelona. In addition, it should be noted that, in official matches, Almería has three defeats in the last five matches played. On the other hand, Atlético de Madrid won four of their last five appearances. In this way, it is expected that the team guided by Griezmann to be the Topdog and end up winning the three points.

ATL. MADRID to WIN

You're absolutely right as athletico Madrid are leading 1nil in 24th minutes of the game. Such as easy start for the  Colchoneros, the game comes with multiple goals, either in the first or second half. Almería recording low on possession with 45% while the visitors getting 55%. The passing accuracy for the home team is 78 while the guests have 80, Diego Simone passing Rubi this time around with clear standing wins, not concluded the scorelines yet, hoping for a rebound comeback from almería who are not relenting in their duties as they're hoping for a draw in the game.

Atletico Madrid have the chance to win today's match against Almeria after Atletico's last five matches in Laliga end with just one win. Atletico Madrid's recent performance is quite bad, this situation is very unfavorable for the future of the club. They continue to be eliminate far from the top of the Laliga standings
Coach Diego Simeone needs to find a way out to overcome the problems in his team, I hope Atletico Madrid can get their winning back today.

Even though they are playing at home to Almeria, Diego Simeone's squad must of course be able to win the game later, moreover Atletico Madrid are now in the ambition to break into the top four, so they need a win. An additional three points this week can overtake Real Betis. because By locking in the top four, Atletico Madrid also opened up the chance to play in the Champions League. Therefore, this week's match seems to be in favor of Atletico Madrid.

The temporary score is 0-1 advantage for Atletico Madrid. Lately, Atletico Madrid has been declining so that they have been knocked out of their usual position in the top 4 of the standings. Of course they have to win in order to prove they can get back on track. Almeria is not a tough club when faced with Atletico Madrid, but it also depends on Atletico Madrid whether they can play very well so that they can win. There is hope, and that hope is magnified by their current lead. The game is still long enough to speculate further.

Bookmakers evaluate the chances of teams as follows:
3.04 - 3.53 - 2.16.
In my opinion, this is just ridiculous. Are Barcelona favorites based on being ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga? But Real Madrid is in the Champions League, and Barcelona is no longer there, plus in head-to-head meetings, Real has an advantage. In general, an easy bet on Real Madrid. And I'm not sure that there will be red cards - in recent years in the Classico there is not that glow and dirt as in the days of Mourinho (Xavi talked about this the other day).

It's also a bit strange with the odds in the Spanish Super Cup final, but it doesn't matter that this could be profitable for Real Madrid, including me, one of the bets @ 3.04 is quite large and it is reassured that Real Madrid has better than Barcelona in terms of head to head too.

But still, if they meet, it will be said that the El Clasico match will always heat up, it is unlikely that there will be a red card in this match, I don't know and it's not going to happen.
It's the level of trophy haul they will take.

Real Sociedad vs Bilbao and i just realized that recent performance from these teams were not so different but Sociedad has 3 winning streak which makes them slightly better than Bilbao but apparently Bilbao still cannot able reach to their best performance even in the last 2 matches Bilbao was failed to scoring goals and home team had ambition to gets their 4th win from Bilbao moreover they also want to ended their poor records from their opponent because from head to head statistics showed Sociedad was failed to wins from Bilbao from their 4 latest meetings and the current odds for Sociedad is @2.49 this makes me tempting to bet for them and i know this option is very risky but i would like to try it

Sometimes head to head results cannot be a reference for a match. But if Real Sociedad manages to win 3 matches in a row, it looks like this will be their 4th victory. On the other hand Bilbao is not too bad this season they are in 7th place in the standings. In my opinion, your bet is quite risky, but I'm sure you will get the result of this bet.

These teams are very good, Real Sociedad has taken a good turn in football and it is normal, they are always measuring themselves against the best teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, they are teams that dominate a league, the only way they can measuring themselves well and being strong means that they beat them, and if this is possible, you just have to look at other leagues, for example the LIGUE1, what Lens did was legendary, they beat the best team that maintains hegemony in that league like PSG, these teams can give the best of all surprises, and also if they beat these teams they would be taken into account as one of the strongest, I know they can do it.

In another order of ideas:

When remarks about Lionel Messi made by Barcelona directors were leaked this week, many people were outraged at the blatant disrespect shown towards one of the club’s greatest ever players.

Barca’s former Legal Chief Roman Gomez Ponti referred to the World Cup winning captain as a “sewer rat” and “hormonal dwarf” when communicating with then-president Josep Maria Bartomeu, which were met with vehement anger by fans and personnel alike.

One of those who has criticised the comments is the club’s vice president Rafael Yuste, who was at the club when these events happened. He highlighted the blatant disrespect shown towards one of the club’s greatest, as per Marca.

“They represent a huge lack of respect for people like Messi who have given so much for the club, and a lack of respect for the club.

“I totally reject these words, which indicate that the people who were previously in charge of the team did not love the squad as they should have done.”

The first half match between Almeria vs Atletico madrid ended with a score of 1-1. As far as I can see, both of them are almost balanced in terms of attack and defense, from shots on target both teams have very thin data. It is possible that in the second half Atletico Madrid will slightly change the pattern of play to make it more efficient to score additional goals, while Almeria certainly has to strengthen its defense if you don't want Atletico Madrid to be free in their defense.

[bekti3]

Almeria vs Atletico Madrid that this is their first met after 2015 and as promotion team i think Almeria performance during this season were not so bad although their position is not fully secured i think their target to survive at Laliga will be wide open and as a host Almeria should be utilized this match to earn points and i think it's not so hard to gets it from Atletico because during this season Atletico has displayed poor performance and i know to beat Atletico is really hard but Almeria at least can stole points from draw results and for this match i have two options both teams to scores or draw

Currently the match is still a draw after a quick goal from the Atletico players was replied by Bilal Toure in the 37th minute.
I was actually a little surprised by the Atletico game they showed in this match because even though they excelled quickly they still didn't show good performance and even Almeria in this first half I think was much better.

[udidrone]

I'm waiting for the big match Real Madrid vs Barcelona
The two will play the Supercopa de Espana final at the King Fahd International Stadium today

This season both of them have perform quite well, it will difficult to predict the winner of today's match. So which team have more potential to win today in your opinion?

[Distraction]

I don't know why Simeone didn't start with Morata in the centre-forward position. We watched Correa playing there for a long time and Morata entered the match quite late. I know that Correa scored their goal but still he could have played on the right wing too. I think Morata deserves chances in the starting eleven. Because his scoring performance so far hasn't been that much bad. He seems motivated to score for his team. Even his beginning to the season was really surprising to me as I was thinking him as an overrated striker.

Anyway the match is still going on 1-1. This is normally a match Atletico Madrid should win easier than this. But this season is just terrible for them unfortunately.

Yes Atletico Madrid was ahead with the score made by Correa, but Almeria was able to equalize it. On paper, Atletico is actually better but in this match Almeria is better, you're right. So I doubt that Almeria will lose points in this match, is there still time for Atletico Madrid to get another score? But unfortunately maybe 7 minutes left this match will over.

[fzkto]

I do not understand why Atletico Madrid is so unstable, and it happens all the time. In the previous match against Barcelona they played well, although they lost that game. But now against Almeria, why do they play so badly? They also got a red card. I guess Atletico was lucky that they didn't lose this game at all.

They always do the same strategy by only making defensive schemes and taking advantage of counterattacks. against Barcelona this was indeed quite good because Barcelona played attacking but when facing a team that was actually under them like Almeria it was clear this was not the right thing to use this scheme.

btw a little off the mark because I'm going to talk about the final which is about to happen.

It seems that Madrid really intend with the final that will be done today because they come down with a complete set of players.

[RILWAN]

Atletico Madrid will not have an easy outing this evening as the match is still dragging for a draw between the two clubs but am sure in the second half both clubs will make various attempts to make some changes that will reflect and improve their performance in the match.

They need part ways with Diego Simeone at Athletico immediately
He is not getting most of his game plans right again
Double red cards in the last two games
Not sure finding them at the top four when the season ends with such patterns of play

Unfortunately this match destroyed my multi bet.

It's true that Atletico Madrid only took advantage of the attack again but they weren't able to press the same as the game with Barcelona, was it because Diego Simeone's strategy was no longer effective enough, after I noticed when playing big teams Atletico were able to perform well but when playing with a team under Diego Simeone's troops also not so optimal.
Maybe what you said is true Diego Simeone did the same scheme again.

[Porfirii]

The gap between the third and fourth teams (Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid) is getting bigger and bigger. After the victory from the basque team and the draw between the latter and Almería, the difference between both teams is now of only seven points.

Edit: As LUCKMCFLY said, both clubs (Real Sociedad and Athletic de Bilbao) are good teams, but in the end the first won the match at home by a 3-1, and it could've been even worse for Bilbao as they didn't play well at all.

How come Almeria is of lower quality than Atletico but in today's match, in fact Almeria has even statistics with Atletico at half time. Also, in the second half about Sergio Reguilon getting a red card, even though Sergio Reguilon came on as a substitute.
With tension like this, Atletico still haven't returned to their best form in total, because even though Atletico only played against Almeria, but Atletico had to work hard only to get one point. But yes, at least Atletico still have a chance to be able to end the season in the top four, hopefully they can return to playing well even though they have stages that take more time.

[judas]

It wasn't a comfortable match for Atletico Madrid. Almeria and them both had so many big chances to score. Atletico Madrid still could have won this match actually if they were a little better at finishing. Morata wasted two big opportunities after being subbed in. He doesn't seem like he is in a good shape these days. Atletico Madrid are inadequate in performance as a team though. They should be much more productive than this normally because they have great attacking players and midfielders.

I also believe Simeone should be sacked at the end of the season. He isn't fitting this team anymore clearly.

Current standing from Almeria at 13th I don't expected with Atletico Madrid failed with three points in their hand and losing opportunity how to make points close with Real  Sociedad. Seems Atletico Madrid loss their opportunity compete La Liga standing with Barcelona and Real Madrid after underperformance and remaining many points left for La Liga tittle race.

I don't think have impact for Atletico Madrid with red card received for Sergio Reguilón because happened at 89th minutes and not more chance for Almeria added more one goals, actually Atletico Madrid managed early trough Angle Correa goals on 18th minutes, but Almeria success make score draw after Bilal Toure goals in 37th minutes, not any goals added for both team on second half and make Atletico Madrid keep with 4th standing position in La Liga.

[Zackgeno96]

Real Madrid - Barcelona is still 0-0 for the super cup. I find it strange that two semi-finals are played in it. You always just have the winner of the cup against the winner of the national champion, don't you? I don't know who came up with this curious construction. It's extra matches for nothing. I don't know how much the teams value this, I think Barcelona values it more than Real Madrid, because Xavi wants to win as many trophies as possible and Real Madrid has already won a lot in recent years. Especially internationally. As I write this, Gavi has put Barcelona 0-1.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Maybe what you said is true Diego Simeone did the same scheme again.

I avoided betting on this match because sometimes for Altetico things like this can happen.
If it is said that Simeone's strategy is too monotonous in my opinion and always does the same scheme regardless of who the team they are fighting against.
For some strong clubs like Barcelona or Madrid maybe this has an advantage. But when facing a team that incidentally took advantage of a big team for a draw it was clear that it was a loss because Almeria knew they also had to secure points so they continued to be careful in attack and Atletico only focused on their defensive area as without having the desire to score additional goals because they were only focused survive hoping Almeria attacks with full force.
