La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[bering]

Real Sociedad seems to continue to show good improvement and consistency this season. not only in La Liga, but also in the Copa del Rey. Real Sociedad has even won 6 matches in a row (Laliga - Copa del rey). The difference in points that Real Sociedad has with Real Madrid is also only a little, namely the difference of only 3 points. And if Real Madrid can't beat Athletic Bilbao in the match later. So it is very likely that Real Sociedad will have the same points as Real Madrid. because Real Sociedad will most likely be able to beat Rayo Vallecano.

Sociedad last losses on Laliga was happened on October last year and since that Sociedad even can able to gets 4 winning streak and until now Sociedad still playing with 3 different competitions so with lack of star players their manager can managed Sociedad performance i think this is good achievement from them and i was never imagined before this team has 6 points below to Barcelona which is the leader of Laliga standings so obviously Sociedad is full of motivation to defend their position but Rayo is not weak team and 1 lose from 8 matches proven there were big improvement from this team which makes their progress were very outstanding so this time Sociedad will met tough team

But on the other hand, if Madrid really want to do better, I think the addition of players must be done, regardless of anything. Ancelotti must not make it look as if everything is fine with their current condition.

The defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup was not a good moment for Real Madrid, the defeat to Barcelona indicated that the Real Madrid squad was not in their best condition. The defeat to Barcelona was Real Madrid second defeat in a week as Real Madrid were beaten 2-1 by Villarreal last weekend in La Liga which left them three points behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga this season. Real Madrid still has a chance to win the La Liga trophy as they are only three points behind Barcelona.

I think that you shall re-watch the first half. Real Madrid was not performing so badly against Barcelona. The problem was coming at the second half of match. Real Madrid is just like losing its power. Real Madrid was also making so many golden chances but it seems like the club is not lucky enough for now. Real Madrid is not feeling disappointed with the result against Barcelona. Real Madrid is still having chances to win another league like la liga or even UCL. Ancellotti will be focusing about how to make real Madrid to get another UCL trophy again.
That's even more important compared with super copa trophy

Real Sociedad has even won 6 matches in a row (Laliga - Copa del rey). The difference in points that Real Sociedad has with Real Madrid is also only a little, namely the difference of only 3 points. And if Real Madrid can't beat Athletic Bilbao in the match later. So it is very likely that Real Sociedad will have the same points as Real Madrid. because Real Sociedad will most likely be able to beat Rayo Vallecano.

It seems that the battle to overtake each other on the laliga standings will soon occur this weekend. However, if you look at the head to head between Sociedad and Vallecano, the two teams always end in a draw, but sometimes Sociedad is a little ahead for victory. But indeed the toughest thing at the moment is Real Madrid who have to fight Bilbao, Carlo Ancelotti must really secure 3 points if they don't want to be moved by Sociedad later. Real Madrid are still deadlocked when scoring goals in the previous games and I hope Ancelotti can find the right composition for his squad later.

Their four consecutive wins in the league have become very valuable capital when they visit Rayo Vallecano headquarters this week. Actually, the two teams have strengths that are not much different, it's just that Rayo Vallecano won more draws, in terms of goal productivity and the solidity of their defense, in my opinion, there is a very thin difference. Real Sociedad have high hopes of maintaining their position in 3rd place and they can do that by winning this game. I think the match will end with Real Sociedad winning by a narrow score.

On the other hand, Athletic de Bilbao has just won over Espanyol in La Copa del Rey, so they might be in good spirits to face Real Madrid later this week. There are big differences in the quality of both teams, anyhow, so it will be hard for Athletic to win, for the tranquility of Real Madrid.
We will have (and already have had) plenty of interesting matches this week, and it seems that most teams have been trying to do their best so far.

Real Madrid are not having the best of times, especially as they are no longer top of the standings and this will make them nervous away against Athletic Bilbao, which Athletic will be able to take advantage of. Especially as the next matches will also be tough opponents. And in just a month's time, the Champions League starts. Therefore, Real Madrid have a very busy schedule.

In this condition I never underestimate Madrid because indeed it is clearly deluding myself when underestimating Madrid with its current conditions.
Madrid is a strong club and the current defending champions of La Liga so it would be really not worth it if they were underestimated.
The match has only been running for 16 weeks and that means there is still a long way to go to reach the 38 weeks that will be carried out.

But on the other hand, if Madrid really want to do better, I think the addition of players must be done, regardless of anything. Ancelotti must not make it look as if everything is fine with their current condition.

Do you mean the current shape of the players or the composition of the team? If the composition of the team, then I'm sure that until the summer it will not change. In the summer, Real Madrid will face a serious restructuring, they say that either Kroos or Benzema will leave, but Mbappe can come. In principle, Real Madrid has a budget for major transfers - Mbappe + midfielder, since the purchase of Tchouameni cost, you can say, for free due to the sale of Casemiro.

For today's match, AD Ceuta vs Barcelona will meet in the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey. Xavi summoned 22 players who will be brought to the Alfonso Murube Stadium. Barcelona will be setting high targets for the Copa Del Rey even if their opponents today look easier. Winning will be very important, and I'm sure Barcelona will do their best.

The following is a list of names that Xavi brought to the Alfonso Murube Stadium: The squad for the trip to Ceuta

Coach Xavi called up 22 players to the travelling party, namely Ter Stegen, Bellerín, Sergio, O. Dembélé, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran, Iñaki Peña, Christensen, Marcos A., Jordi Alba, Kessie, S. Roberto, Raphinha, Kounde, Eric, Balde, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Arnau Tenas and Alarcón.

two consecutive defeats in a week indicates that Real Madrid is in a decline at the moment and this is very detrimental for them especially their current rival Barcelona continues to develop.
to defend the La Liga title win is still very possible because they are only 3 points behind for now and the remaining games of the season are still very much so it is possible for a lot of things to happen but with the tough competition with Barcelona I think it will be very difficult for Real Madrid if they don't get up soon.
it is very possible for a team to find it difficult to get up after sinking and this could happen to Real Madrid at this time and it could also be that this was used by Barelona to keep away.

On the one hand, the defeat to Barcelona has made Real Madrid lose one title this season. Although the Super Cup Trophy is less prestigious than the La Liga Trophy and the Champions League, Real Madrid have fought their way to the Final even though they lost to their eternal rivals. On the other hand, Real Madrid failure to win the Super Cup trophy has increasingly motivated Real Madrid players to improve their quality to win trophies in the competitions they are still participating in.
Real Madrid still has the chance to win several prestigious trophies this season, Ancelotti needs to maintain the form they showed last season to maintain his status as successive champions.

Changes must be made in Real Madrid, I'm used to seeing Real Madrid go behind first and in the end they can turn things around, I'm also used to them not winning big even though the team they are facing is a weak team. But now they are different from usual, that's what raises doubts in my mind. They won't be able to compete with Barcelona if it continues like this, they are a big team with a winning mentality, that's what I can't see from their defeat in this game.

Real Madrid weren't playing badly in the first half? If you mean the ball possession percentages then yes there was a balance. However Real Madrid were able to have only one goal attempt in the whole half while Barcelona had so many. Therefore we can easily say that they weren't good in that half at all.


By the way, Real Madrid have a tough game waiting for them this week. Athletic Bilbao might not be an easy target for them to beat in an away game. Athletic Bilbao's odd is slightly going down in time currently. Bookmakers must also be expecting for a big challenge here. Athletic Bilbao are one of the decent home teams so I think that they can be as big trouble as Villarreal for Real Madrid. It is in Real Madrid's hands to prevent a similar scenario from happening.

I'm thinking of betting on both teams to score.

On the one hand, the defeat to Barcelona has made Real Madrid lose one title this season. Although the Super Cup Trophy is less prestigious than the La Liga Trophy and the Champions League, Real Madrid have fought their way to the Final even though they lost to their eternal rivals.

Even though the Spanish Super Cup is not a big competition compared to La Liga and the Copa Del Rey, of course, pride still has to be fought for. That was done by Barcelona in the final and they really considered the final like any other final so all the players played at their best. The title was won with great mood because Real Madrid is Barcelona's eternal rival throughout history.

There is another possibility regarding another El Clasico final this season, it could happen in the Copa Del Rey final if Barcelona and Real Madrid both qualify for the final. Today the two teams have their respective matches for the round of 16, Real Madrid again meet Villarreal while Barcelona meet AD Ceuta. Madrid and Barcelona are likely to win and both qualify for the quarter-finals.

Change is something that the Real Madrid team really has to do because the next game for Real Madrid is to play away against Athletic Bilbao which Real Madrid must be able to get a win if they still want to be on the path to fighting for the title this season, because Barcelona is the next game. going against Getafe at Spotify Camp Nou is very likely to win again and will still try to close the gap with Real Madrid if Real Madrid is unable to win against Athletic Bilbao.

There is no Frenkie De Jong in the 22 names of players that Xavi will bring when they travel to the Alfonso Murube Stadium, so far I don't know whether the rumors of Frenkie de Jong leaving Barcelona will actually come true. But whatever the reason, I think Barcelona will have an easy game against Ad Ceuta, because previously Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the Super Cup.

It looks like this will be an easy match for Barcelona, because the opponents they face are not that strong and not so balanced against Barcelona.

Today they will again compete against Villarreal in the last 16 of the Copa de Rey. It would be great if Ancelotti realized his mistakes in the previous games.
Their last 3 matches in all competitions have not gone well and this has definitely not worked in their favor in any way. at least they have to try to win in this round of 16.
Even though this will indeed make them more schedules, they still have to do this with a win to make their mentality better.

[3meek]

Villarreal and Real Madrid meet again in the Spanish Cup... I wonder who will win this time, but Madrid have a good chance to take revenge... But somehow I think they can lose again, judging from their last game they have a lot of problems... And Villarreal are good now...

Bringing top players back from the transfer market is a good idea. However, I would rather expect a change in strategy in Real Madrid's playing pattern. If you pay attention to the actual game strategy carried out by Real Madrid, it seems a bit monotonous. so that the opponents that Real Madrid recently faced seemed to have prepared themselves well and were already familiar with Real Madrid's strategy. bringing in several new players and a new strategy might be a breath of fresh air for Real Madrid.

[sana54210]

In the second half of the season, I actually see that matches are becoming increasingly difficult to predict. To be honest, I've lost a lot more at this point. different from the games earlier in the season which are more predictable. but at least right now I still have predictions that are quite sure for several matches such as Espanyol vs Real Betis, Barcelona vs Getafe and Elche vs Osasuna. in these three matches at least I hope that Osasuna, Barcelona and Real Betis can win the game.

La Liga has become competitive. Now the matches are difficult to predict. Also the favorite team is not winning. But Osasuna, Betis and Barcelona are more likely to win. Because Osasuna's opponent Elche is a weak team. I forget the last time they won against Osasuna. Also the performances of Espanyol and Getafe are not good enough. They are quite weak compared to Betis and Barcelona. However, the matches are also likely to be drawn.

I wouldn't be able to tell you which teams will win, Barcelona does look like they could win any and every game but that's not the case and they will eventually end up with a tie or a loss as well, and that's fine.

However, we are looking at a league that is a lot harder to predict, I know that it looks not so complicated to some people, but to many of us it looks like where teams are on their standings is not the case for most of them. I know betting on the 8th team against 15th team should be easier but it's no longer like that. The standings doesn't give us any kind of tips anymore, and that's a bad situation to be in, but the situation we found ourselves in anyway.

Don't be too quick to count out Villarreal. They may not be as big of a name as Real Madrid, but they've been putting in work lately. They just took down Real in their last match, and they did it with style. 17 shots to Real's 15, that's no small effort. And let's not forget, this is El Clasico we're talking about. People want El Classico but I guess it is too soon to talk about it. So, don't underestimate any opponents of either Real or Barcelona

[Avirunes]

Villarreal and Real Madrid meet again in the Spanish Cup... I wonder who will win this time, but Madrid have a good chance to take revenge... But somehow I think they can lose again, judging from their last game they have a lot of problems... And Villarreal are good now...

Villareal are a tough team and they really have a very good defensive line. It will be a tough task for Madrid to break in find goals against Villareal defense. Madrid are having lot of problems and they need to defend their net properly. They also need a strong midfield hold and their attacking line needs to score goals again. They have been averaging 1 goal per game in last 5 matches which is a sign of concern for Ancelotti.

Madrid however will be looking to perform better and take revenge but it's a tough fixture and its anybody's game. I will go with Madrid in this one.

[izsara]

After the defeat in the Spanish Super Cup it should be that Anceloti began to come to his senses. Aware Barcelona were in a good position and had the best game so they lost in the final. Therefore, Anceloti should start thinking about buying new players, to improve the game. This is because the transfer market is still going on. I fear they will lose the La Liga Cup this season.

Agree with what you said, At the moment Madrid clearly has to bring in players in any case. Ancelotti has always said that they can force it with the current squad but looking at the conditions this is not enough because indeed they are still losing especially with some of their poor performances during the last few games.
There must be at least 1 midfield player to regenerate again and this one attacker is better.

maybe it's a good option for ancelotti to sign one of the most experienced players of the highest quality for the front line. Real Madrid has just been humiliated by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup and this indicates that the Real Madrid squad really has a gap to fix. but for the laliga competition I think the is still very long and there is a possibility that real madrid will again win rank place from barcelona.

real madrid will need to initiate a swift transition to fill the gap in their squad depth. several players must be filled with new faces, especially for Karim Benzema who has been injured so many times that ancelotti has to find the right figure for that position.

At the moment there are some rumors about a midfielder like Jude but I don't think it's only that because they still need to be in attack and defense if necessary especially for now there are still rumors about Mendy's future which is not clear and this must be found a replacement soon if indeed Mendy does not renew his contract with Madrid, which is currently almost up.
Another problem is Ancelotti's answer which is still the same as the previous season by continuing to do this season with the current squad even though this is already good but they clearly need additional breaking power.
