La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Oluwa-btc]

In the first half, Osasuna was one goal ahead of host Elche. The match was normal, nothing special, I even saw that in this match the two clubs played with all their hearts. Not many opportunities were created, they only played in the midfield area with Osasuna having more of the ball. In the second half, it looks like Osasuna should be braver to attack because Elche doesn't look like it will harm their defense in the first half. Unless Osasuna really wants to play it safe, they will definitely be more careful because they already have a 1 goal advantage. I don't see the potential in Elche's game, it looks like they will lose again.

I predicted the game to end this way, but accumulation of Leeds United to win and a game from Turkey league one got my slip ruined and casted. ( I saw Arsenal Manchester United ending a full time draw )
I enjoyed every single bit of the game, Elche should have made it two but a big mistake from how he shot the ball wide of the wood work.

Villarreal Girona was the game of the day for me, Chukuwueze flopped full-time, I was disappointed in him, same as Gerrard Moreno, hes lost his form though, I can recall how good he was last two seasons for Villarreal.

Barcelona and Getafe will be playing against themselves on Matchday 18 of the La Liga 2022-23 season. While Barcelona are on the top spot of the La Liga points table, Getafe sit at the 15th position in the points table. In the 16 games played so far this season, Barcelona have won 13 games, have drawn 2 games, and have been on the losing end on 1 occasion. In the process, they have scored 35 goals and conceded 06 goals. Getafe, on the other hand, have played 17 games in La Liga this season and have won 4 games, drawn 5 games, and have lost 8 games. In the process, they have scored 16 goals and conceded 24 goals this season in La Liga so to me I will give the day to Barcelona in this match because they are a better side to win this game considering both their recent form and team work. This match will likely end with multiple goals.

Barcelona is currently in the best performance. A lot of differences can be noticed when comparing the previous year's performance. The young players of the team are proving themselves brilliantly. Barcelona will beat Getafe easily.

So far, Barcelona have failed to score against Getafe. By the way, the stats in the first 20 minutes are not very good. Only two strikes. It seemed to me that Barcelona would attack from the start of the match to deprive Getafe of motivation. But so far they are playing carefully. I hope they can score at least two goals.

[jaberwock]

Atlético Madrid is currently in the top 4 of the standings, even though the performance shown is inconsistent. but there is no reason for the dismissal of the coach. there is no problem with Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid. if they have a problem there might be a layoff. even when their contract is short-lived. there was no need to wait for him to resign.
so far Diego Simeone is still doing his job well. let's see how Atletico will face the remaining matches this season. their mistakes have started the season very badly.

they is no plan to sack Diego Simeon, although he started poorly but he's a coach that has done well for the club. And the management trusted in him to bring the club to winning way. That's my they gave him money to buy some players and with arrival of Depay in the club. I think they will bounce back soon. The management should have patient and give Diego Simeon more time to get it right.

I agreed about this most chances Atlético Madrid management will not take any decision like this in current season because Diego Simeon is doing good job for last many years but in this season they are struggling but still good thing currently they are at fourth and have good chance to stay here and qualify for the Champions League with having tough challenge from the Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao and Betis which are having good quality and good performance as well with this all if Atlético Madrid management done any mistake surely this can cost badly, and they can face negative consequences for this as well.

Now with the arrival of Deepay hopefully things will improve, and they will go with better strategy which will give them better results in next half of this season.

Barcelona team managed to win the first half thanks to pedri goal they dominated the first half and this outcome was expected, so far barcelona are without a doubt the strongest team in laliga right now and they are the huge favourite to win laliga if real madrid lose points today then it will be likely over.

I think that the fact they dominated and only managed to score one goal is usually a dangerous approach because there is the unwritten law in football which says if you don't score you will concede and if Barcelona keeps missing chances they risk a equalizer goal from Getafe,also the fact that they are dominating means that they can start underestimating their opponent and this is another dangerous approach.However I think that Barcelona will get the three points tonight in order to consolidate their lead in the La Liga and leave all the pressure to Real Madrid in tonight game.

[judas]

Barcelona are not having much difficulty now against Getafe. The score is still 1-0 maybe but they are way better than their opponent in game. I think Lewandowski's being suspended of a red card is also a factor that they don't score many goals. He is a big game changer for sure. But Barcelona don't need him much in this match to get a win anyway.

There is an hour left for Athletic Bilbao - Real Madrid to start. I think Real Madrid will win here but it won't be a huge win. I expect a win by one or two goals for Real Madrid. I guess that Athletic Bilbao wouldn't give up very easily.

At the moment, Barcelona is leading 1-0, not really a goal-rich game. But in this match so far again no goal against Barcelona. Defensively it is rock solid at Barcelona. Elche played 18 games and only 6 points. With such figures you will soon be dredged 5 matches before the end of the competition. In theory, Sevilla could still make it to European football, but that does not seem to me to be the club's goal. They first want to ensure that they are safely in the left row and then build from there. If the football is good, the points usually come naturally. Osasuna is doing surprisingly well with a 7th place finish.

1-0 is still a dangerous scoreline for Barcelona. They need to make the second one.

[imamusma]

After all, Barcelona are currently missing Depay, so if Lewandowski doesn't perform well then they will have hard time finding replacement. Almost all of Barcelona's forward players are unstable in form, they can play well in one match and sometimes find it difficult to develop their game.

I'd say Barcelona's midfield and attack are pretty strong right now. Barcelona has plenty of talented and star players in their midfield and attack. But Barcelona's defence is still very weak. Lewandowski, Dembele or Rafinha are talented enough. However, Barcelona's defence now lacks talented experienced players. If the defence is strong, Barcelona's performance will be more consistent. However, if the defence is unstable, Barcelona's overall performance will not be stable.

I just don't know what makes you think Barcelona's defense is so weak so far.
You may need to get their stats in La Liga for the last 16 matches but I can tell you that Barcelona have conceded only 6 goals in 16 matches so far. That is proof that your assumptions about Barcelona's defense are completely wrong.

You could say that Barcelona's defense this season is very strong, especially for all La Liga matches. Whilst I am not talking about the other competitions they have participated in this season, and in the last 17 matches (including the one played currently) it is safe to say that Barcelona are still very strong. So far, Barcelona have only conceded 1 goal at home in 9 matches, while they have conceded another 5 goals away from home in 8 matches.

Even though Lewandowski didn't play today, it's certain that Barcelona will be able to win against Getafe

now the score is still 1-0 and the match is almost over, no other goals have been scored, a narrow victory is really worthy of this match

[3meek]

Real Madrid badly need this win over Athletic Bilbao... But it's not exactly an underdog, and Real are having a bad time right now... I think we're in for an interesting match... I hope Real Madrid can win, but I would not be surprised if there is a draw... The last time Bilbao beat Real Madrid at home 1-0... Especially as Bilbao have not been playing badly lately...

[Pulsar77]

I think it wasn't the right move for Barcelona to let go of Memphis Depay this easy. I didn't see any reason for them to give up on him as well. They needed a substitute striker in absence of Lewandowski in the end. Today can be a good example for that. Lewandowski couldn't play due to being suspended. Fati was playing in his place. He is mainly a winger you know. Their opponent was a comfortable one of course and they still defeated Getafe in Camp Nou. But they could have scored more goals if they had Depay or Lewandowski.

Atletico Madrid have made a good signing by the way. It was for replacing Felix I assume and Depay was one of the best alternatives available. I hope to see him making a good contribution during the rest of the season.

-snip-

Earning points in this match became very difficult for Villarreal. Villarreal's performance was not weak. They performed very well. But Villarreal's players could not score due to Girona's completely defensive play. Villarreal scored a goal in extra time 90 + 11 minutes of the match. And Villarreal scored from the penalty spot. I would say Villarreal were very lucky to secure 3 points in this match.

Indeed, Villarreal they performed very well in this match, there were many chances for goals in the first half, but Girona a luck was also high in the first half. Also Girona they almost could to make this match with a draw but the Girona players make a fault inside the penalty box, even they did it two fault but unfortunately the first penalty by gerard moreno unsuccessful him couldn't scored.

[bitgolden]

There's been a drop from Diego Simeone's performance for Atletico Madrid, that's what I see. Obviously this coach has been in the team for a very long time, he is someone who knows Atletico Madrid inside and out. When he shows a dip in form, it will make some fans want to see a new coach for Atletico Madrid. But so far the management has decided to keep Diego Simeone as part of them. That is an advantage for him, because it is rare for a team to be able to retain a coach for a very long period of time.

I think when you coach a team for too long, and usually play the same football that you always play, then eventually other teams figure you out. I mean that's what managers and their assistants do all day everyday, they analyse the other team and try to find a way to beat them and then when they do figure it out, they tell their players to seek for the weakness's that they found.

If you are a brand new manager, nobody knows how your team will play, but when you are a manager that has been around for a long time like Simeone has been, other teams know exactly how you will play, and they will not only have time to figure you out, they will even test some stuff against you as well. Hence, it is hard for a manager to be great for 10+ years in the same club and rarely done.

Barcelona are not having much difficulty now against Getafe. The score is still 1-0 maybe but they are way better than their opponent in game. I think Lewandowski's being suspended of a red card is also a factor that they don't score many goals. He is a big game changer for sure. But Barcelona don't need him much in this match to get a win anyway.

Barcelona had trouble scoring goals in this match, and Pedri was the only player capable of doing so for Barcelona's victory. I don't think Fati, who started as a reliable starter, wasted too many chances, but he was able to put pressure on Getafe's defense enough today. And again, Barcelona managed to keep their home clean from conceding more than 1 goal at home so far. That's good and the victory has been one step safer than Real Madrid.

There is an hour left for Athletic Bilbao - Real Madrid to start. I think Real Madrid will win here but it won't be a huge win. I expect a win by one or two goals for Real Madrid. I guess that Athletic Bilbao wouldn't give up very easily.

Did you watch the match? I think Real Madrid have big problems in defense and form at the moment. Especially in the first half, Bilbao really threatened the Real Madrid defense by releasing several shots. The goal almost happened, but Courtois was still able to save it. I think Real Madrid will lose, but let's see until the end.

[LGD2Business]

Pedri scored a good goal, but other than that Barca didn't have a very effective attack. In the end, it was important to get 3 points and they succeeded. Enes Ünal failed to deliver what was expected in Getafe. Real Madrid is also currently leading the game, Benzema scored a terrific goal with his left foot. In which case the title race will continue from where it left off. Both teams have a good game, but they are not very dominant. It looks like this championship race will continue until the last weeks again.

Hence, it is hard for a manager to be great for 10+ years in the same club and rarely done.

There is a reason why coaches do not find success if they stay with a team for too long. And I cannot help but think that's exactly what happened with Diego Simeone. The fact that he has been with this team for so long means that everyone knows what he is going to do in the future. And that's why it has been quite easy for their opponents to counter the strategy that they implement. There is no doubt that a change of authority could actually do a lot of good for Atletico Madrid. There is nothing wrong with the squad at all. In the event that the tactics aren't working at the moment.

[indah rezqi]

Pedri scored a good goal, but other than that Barca didn't have a very effective attack. In the end, it was important to get 3 points and they succeeded. Enes Ünal failed to deliver what was expected in Getafe.

Lewandowski's absence has an impact on Barcelona's weak finishing. Dembele and Raphinha played well, but they couldn't score. Only Pedri scored in this match, while Fati failed to carry out his duties as CF today. Fati was tipped to be Barcelona's future star, but the fact is he hasn't proven much when compared to the former number 10.

Real Madrid is also currently leading the game, Benzema scored a terrific goal with his left foot. In which case the title race will continue from where it left off. Both teams have a good game, but they are not very dominant. It looks like this championship race will continue until the last weeks again.

Yes, Real Madrid took the lead in the first half with volley goal from Benzema. That's certainly good after Real Madrid was really under pressure from the start. Real Madrid looked difficult to control the game because the Bilbao players worked hard, they had good pace and created several chances. I hoped the second half would be better, but my eyes are too tired to keep staring at the screen.

[Queentoshi]

Real Madrid badly need this win over Athletic Bilbao... But it's not exactly an underdog, and Real are having a bad time right now... I think we're in for an interesting match... I hope Real Madrid can win, but I would not be surprised if there is a draw... The last time Bilbao beat Real Madrid at home 1-0... Especially as Bilbao have not been playing badly lately...

The first half ended the way it was expected to end with Real Madrid In front. The goal from Benzema was the exact goal people who play his position and carry that much responsibility in front need to be conversant with scoring. He knew where the goal was even without looking and know that he quickly needed to take a shot to beat the Goal Keeper and defenders. Real Madrid will play better in the second half and win this game to keep the pressure on Barcelona.

[doomloop]

Villarreal was a success make a goal 1-0 in extra time, and they earned three points so hard this match.

Earning points in this match became very difficult for Villarreal. Villarreal's performance was not weak. They performed very well. But Villarreal's players could not score due to Girona's completely defensive play. Villarreal scored a goal in extra time 90 + 11 minutes of the match. And Villarreal scored from the penalty spot. I would say Villarreal were very lucky to secure 3 points in this match.

What an end for this match we have no goal in 90 minutes game even in last 12 minutes Girona were playing with ten men but sadly Villarreal were not able to score a goal, and then we have missed penalty by them, but good thing happen they have another penalty which give them good encouragement, and they were able to score goals which helps them for having full three points from this match and now have fifth spot in league table but still they need to improve their performance because now Atlético Madrid is also doing good job and if they want to stay at the top then surely improvement is must and after break things are going into their favour specially now change of coach effect is also going down because their results are coming good.

[herurist]

Madrid's second half begins. The score is still 1-0 for Madrid's advantage so far.
The target is clearly victory because regardless of anything if they don't achieve full results in this match then indirectly they will have a very difficult time in the end especially Barcelona are narrowly ahead and bring 3 points earlier.
Now Madrid have to try harder with this condition they can still reduce the distance with Barcelona.
