La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Falconer]

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.

You know, some of the Madrid players admit that they didn't play at their best from the start, meaning they underestimated Barcelona in that game, I think. I didn't expect them not to be as serious as I hoped, but for whatever reason I have to acknowledge Barcelona's excellence and the quality of its players. Sometimes results don't go as expected, so you shouldn't underestimate anyone in a match, especially Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Barcelona won their first round against Ceuta. 0-1 at the moment, Raphinha scored. While I hope Madrid also manages to win the game against Villarreal.

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.

losing one chance to win the title in the Spanish super cup shows that Real Madrid performance has recently decreased. Whether it's that the strategy they have compiled is easy for opponents to read or they have found a turning point for their impressive performance last season.

Ancelotti is expected to be able to change their game strategy for the upcoming matches. even though real madrid has a fairly busy schedule, their main focus must be done well enough that it can reduce the point distance from barcelona or be able to recapture 1st place from barcelona.

[Distraction]

There are some starting eleven players like Lewandowski and Raphinha are on the field now. Barcelona scored the only goal of the match thanks to Raphinha against Ceuta. I guess this won't be a challenging match for them at all. Their opponent is so weak that even with the reserve players Barcelona should be able to get the win easily. I expect more goals from them in the second half.

Villarreal - Real Madrid has just started. Both teams are playing with their usual lineups seemingly. I don't feel like Villarreal will do the same to Real Madrid here also. But I still expect Real Madrid to get the win with some difficulty. They had better look for breaking Villarreal defense early.

Not playing well from the start doesn't mean they underestimate Barcelona, because maybe they have a different mood so they can't play optimally. Because how can Real Madrid underestimate Barcelona because they are rivals, unless the team he is facing is another team or a team that is not part of La Liga.
So with their ignorance they can underestimate their opponent, so it is very unlikely that Real Madrid will underestimate Barcelona. Because in fact, Barcelona's position in the La Liga standings this season is also better than Real Madrid and with this factor, Real Madrid will never underestimate Barcelona.

But I still expect Real Madrid to get the win with some difficulty. They had better look for breaking Villarreal defense early.

I think the Real Madrid team has lost it's motivation because from what was seen during their game against Barcelona, I bet they need to do a whole lot of work to get back their team together and they really need to win this game to restore back their winning sleak and put more fear on their opponents. Funny Villarreal leads in just few minutes of play and I don't think Madrid has what it takes to come back in this game even though the match is still very fresh but Madrid is not playing like a team that wants to win marches.Etienne Capoue is the goal getter for Villarreal very good ball I must say.

Today, few Copa del Rey matches were played, nothing surprising when you see Bilbao, ATM and Valencia winning but what could be quite unexpected is to see Osasuna beating Betis. Well no one could be blamed when losing by penalties..but they could have won if they were able to resist until the end, they score then Osasuna get the draw twice.

I saw the Villarreal and Madrid games now.
  and the conditions were a bit the same as the previous encounter for them. Villarreal took the lead with a quick goal in the 4th minute through Capoue's goal. This is obviously a little disturbing because regardless of anything if Madrid lose again in this match it will clearly make the atmosphere even more gloomy for them especially this match also apart from revenge for La Liga they also need a win to advance to the next round and of course improve mentally.

[ginsan]

Real madrid are already trailing 1-0 to villarreal where a goal came in the 4th minute by Capoue in the last 16 of the Copa del rey. if you look at the depth of the real madrid squad in this match, of course they came down with a fairly complete squad, but villarreal was able to score goals early and this was quite an impressive pressure exerted by villarreal. The atmosphere of the game was getting more interesting because Real Madrid tried to equalize but until the 31th minute there was no sign that Real Madrid was able to do this. However, there is still a lot of time left. I hope Real Madrid can apply even more pressure to equalize.

Just four minutes in and  and Villarreal are already a goal ahead of Real Madrid from Etienne Capoue and I wonder if this will be another bad game for Real Madrid or they will be able to come back from the goal down to win the game. If Villarreal score another goal, it can make things more difficult and uncomfortable for Real Madrid and mount more pressure on the the coach. Betting on Real Madrid to win games is not the best thing for people who bet to do this period at least for the now.

Only Modric is not in the squad at the moment but they are still very messy because no one player can act as the initiator in midfield to get the ball flowing.
Ancelotti also made experiments again by placing Camavinga in central midfield which is actually not his style because in the last few seasons he has always been placed in left midfield.
It's still a little difficult, especially since there hasn't been a single chance that has really threatened Madrid so far.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid don't have a shot on target yet while Villarreal have found a goal on their first shot on target. This is quite unlucky for Real Madrid at the same time maybe. But it is still obvious that they are having the same struggles against Villarreal once again. Ancelotti should have been able to find a solution to this kind of defending already.

I really don't know what is going wrong with Real Madrid players these days. I hope they pull themselves together as quick as possible. They have title runs to maintain in the La Liga and Champions League.

oh finally someone who thinks like me
exactly, football is a show, we watch games to have fun
this is my philosophy as a fan
I have a favorite team, but if they play badly I'm sad, because I didn't enjoy myself
I pay the ticket to have fun

I like Barcelona because they are starting to play very nice and fun games again, I think they will do it

For those who bet on every football match, that does not apply. Like me, I'm a fan of Barcelona's entertaining game. Of course I do the same as you on every football match even if I don't watch it live at the stadium. It's only natural to be sad when your favorite team does poorly, let alone loses.

Barcelona have a philosophy of playing football that is entertaining enough for people to enjoy it. We are sure that this season Barcelona will return to the basic form of entertaining play and will even return to being a club that will lift the championship trophy slowly.

I sure hope so, in general non-Italian league games are more fun because there are so many goals
In Italy the teams are of a more defensive philosophical nature, so you see few goals, and I love to see the goals and I love hearing the chants of the stadium (I go when I can)
A game without a goal is like eating pasta with fish, without fish

Well, there are always many tastes and colors for everyone, we as soccer fans enjoy every facet of soccer, and yes, when our favorite teams play badly, we somehow feel sad, as if something is missing, the fun factor is very decisive, but nor can we forget that some styles of football are very characteristic, as they have already said, Italian football is very characteristic of defense, its greatest potential is there, we have many references like Paolo Maldini in Milan, we cannot forget how he plays, in Real Madrid, despite the fact that Ancelotti is an Italian coach, knows that his best weapon is attack, Barcelona is finally reaching his best form, all of this is making them very good.

Real Madrid don't have a shot on target yet while Villarreal have found a goal on their first shot on target. This is quite unlucky for Real Madrid at the same time maybe.

I really don't know what is going wrong with Real Madrid players these days. I hope they pull themselves together as quick as possible. They have title runs to maintain in the La Liga and Champions League.

Well, apparently the crisis has reached Real Madrid, and it is not something that they have been able to overcome yet, I don't know why Ancelotti has not been able to do something about it, things are not going well for him as the game is proposing, and the Real Madrid's game should be impressive, have a clear goal objective, it's what everyone aspires to when we see a game of this terrific team, but it's no reason for them to be disappointed in the team, all teams go through something like this, some teams leave quickly It will be a matter of sepera, the good thing is that Real Madrid has a good technical team.

Having had hopes of a famous sextet dashed during Sunday’s disappointing Spanish Super Cup defeat to Barcelona in Riyadh, Real Madrid look set to be knocked out of another competition this evening.

Los Blancos have already lost to Villarreal this month, going down 2-1 in La Liga, and now they are 2-0 down to the Yellow Submarine just before half time in their Copa del Rey tie. Etienne Capoue had given them the lead inside the opening five minutes, and now Samuel Chukwueze has added a second.

Now the score has changed to 2-1 after Vini managed to reduce their lag but will this really be the same as their previous match.
Until now, Madrid still can't do much, even in terms of opportunities and ball possession, they really lost.
This is not really conceivable because Ancelotti is silent about the current situation and to be honest I don't really like their scheme and attack pattern like this.

That's no excuse for a big team really regardless of anything but in this game they were really, really bad at playing.
This condition is almost the same as their match in La Liga a few weeks ago and this is a little disappointing if indeed they have to lose this match again.
Even though defeats and wins are something normal but losing 2 times in the last few weeks against the same team I don't think this reflects them as a big team for now.

They require a complete formation change. They need a strong team performance right now to win this game. There have been numerous lapses in the game, and I believe even the coach is unsure of the best substitute or change of play pattern to employ right now. I still believe they can equalize and win this match if these lapses can be corrected before the final minutes of the game.

The Los Blancos did equalize, score is now 2:2

[Ryu_Ar1]

The Madrid game is getting more interesting now. The score is 2-2 now and the match has entered a quite crucial time in the last 5 minutes this time.
Madrid got up in the second half after they played quite badly in the first half. At this crucial moment of course there was some hope for Madrid, but with enough discipline for Villarreal it was a little complicated this time around. let's hope they can win without overtime.

Real Madrid should just quit and call the league off if they don't bring in a quality midfielder immediately the results will get worsening and one thing is certain at the end, Barcelona are making sure they win the league.
Even before the game against Barcelona , they have been absolutely poor, ahead of the champions league games to Leipzig right before the group stage games came to an end, they haven't played a better game.

Barcelona thrashing and destroying as they should do, beautiful seeing Raphina a scoring, that should be a good boost for his goal scoring form for some months now.

[skarais]

Barcelona won big over their opponent Ceuta in today's Copa Del Rey match. The first half was difficult for Barcelona, ​​but everything changed in the second half where Barcelona scored another 4 goals to win. Meanwhile, Real Madrid also looks set to win after they trailed 2 goals to Villarreal. Now the score is 2-3 in favor of Madrid.

The score is already 3-2, Real Madrid is leading with 1 goal. Ceballos made 1 crucial goal, they almost win the match now (time is almost over).
I see Real Madrid players play better in this match, they no longer rely on Benzema to score. But it is sad to see Benzema can't play as well as the previous season. He doesn't perform well again after he got injured for some weeks. Seeing his performance in this match, I think Real Madrid needs a new top striker very soon.

At the end of the match Ceballos was able to score a goal and brought victory to the team, but if you look at the match as a whole, it is not surprising that they missed two goals, Villareal was quite a lot of time in the pressing and even their ball possession is more. Real was as if he was not collected and not ready for this match

[bitcampaign]

Barcelona won big over their opponent Ceuta in today's Copa Del Rey match. The first half was difficult for Barcelona, ​​but everything changed in the second half where Barcelona scored another 4 goals to win. Meanwhile, Real Madrid also looks set to win after they trailed 2 goals to Villarreal. Now the score is 2-3 in favor of Madrid.

Real Madrid's fantastic comeback was realized through three goals each created by Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao and Dani Ceballos. Thanks to this result, Real Madrid also has the right to advance to the quarter-finals, while Villarreal must be eliminated. On the other hand, in another match, Barcelona made a goal feast, Robert Lewandowski was the star. He was able to score a brace or two goals in the 50th and 90th minutes. Three other Barcelona goals that nested against Ceuta were packaged by Raphinha (41'), Ansu Fati (70'), Franck Kessie (77').
