La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Rengga Jati]

Although i placed a bet on Madrid to win the match seeing to the fact that they are in dire need of the 3 points more than their opponents real sociedad. The result of the game was dissapointing for me but it was somehow expected because real sociedad are not an easy team to win. Barcelona are now further away with 5 points clear in the laliga title race and would be looking to maintain this gap and pray that they continue to win games and be in their top form.

Surely, this was a disappointing match result if we see how Real Madrid couldn't make any score against Real Sociedad. Although Real Sociedad is not a small club, commonly Real Madrid will be able to manage it and make good results. However here, it seems that their performance is really decreasing. I was excited when they were able to defeat Atletico Madrid in Copa several days ago, I did think that Real Madrid's performance would be much better again, but in La Liga, it seems to be back again decreased performance. Their motivation seems to also decrease currently, Ancelotti should be able to rise up again their motivation and also do something better strategy to make victory in every match. The next matches will be probably not easy for them because they will also face Valencia, although, on paper, Real Madrid must be superior. But seeing how they played against Real Sociedad, I am really worried about the next result.

I predicted this game wrong, I thought it would be a win for Real Madrid, but it wasn't, they could only draw. Actually I see more of Real Madrid's goals which usually come in the second half, but they couldn't do that in this game, they couldn't destroy the defense built by Real Sociedad until the final minutes of the game. As a result they are now 5 points behind their eternal rivals, Barcelona. This season's La Liga is not as easy as last season where they could claim the championship very comfortably without any significant disturbances.

It's the same here, I believe Real Madrid will not have too many problems to get 3 points in the match against Real Sociedad, but in fact they were frustrated the whole match. Obviously, this is an unfavorable condition considering that Barcelona is further ahead, now it has 5 points. Even though Real Madrid really played well and created lot of chances, they were all in vain. This is the 3rd draw for Real Madrid this season at home, and I hope they will be even better in their next match.

Carlo Ancelotti still praised his team even though they failed to win the home game. I think he needs to work hard to improve the team's performance following Barcelona's recent good form.

He said: "It was a shame because we played very well and we deserved to win. We played a complete game, one of the best of the season, but we didn't have any luck.

"The team is improving and growing and physically we are much better. Now the injured return and we have confidence for the coming months.

"We have done very well with and without the ball and all we had to do was score, we came so close but it is a draw. I am satisfied because the team has played very well."

Real Madrid haven't been in the best form recently and drawing that match against Real soceidad is somehow a good result considering the form Real soceidad are in now, I know many people were expecting real Madrid to win since they were at home but u can't rue away the form of real soceidad so the both sides got the fair result by sharing the points but it will further set Madrid back behind Barcelona who are now 5points clear at the top of the table.
On the other hand Real soceidad just made a serious step towards champions League qualification next season as they sit 3rd with 39 points five points above athletico Madrid who sits 4th with 34 points.

Comrade your point was not clear to me of what you were saying but I tried to understand the point. In this season Real Madrid has not been herself. And Barcelona is doing well in this season at least they have gotten 5 points which is a good performance in the season. There are two things make a football team very strong. Skillful players and a talented Coach.

Villarreal could not continue their good trend, tonight they can stopped by Rayo Vallecano with score 0-1, although they have tried several opportunities. But I think Villarreal position in the standings may still be safe for a while because Real Betis will against Barcelona at the Benito Villamarín, it also seems likely that Real Betis will find it difficult to get points in that match although at home.

[lalabotax]

I really hope that Real Madrid will win this match to decrease the point difference with Barcelona.

Real madrid have to win this match, Barcelona already beat Girona 1-0 yesterday and went 6 points above Real madrid, if Real madrid draw, Barcelona will be ahead with 5 points,

Sadly it was not, the result was drawn without any goal 0 - 0. This is so disappointing. I really expect that Real Madrid play will be much better and can manage this match easily, but Real Sociedad also played very well with quite a strong defense. Real Madrid's performance is decreasing or their motivation is decreased.

I don't understand why Real Madrid is having a difficult time finding the back of the net in this match. Like , am watching the game and from the chances they've created right there in the box,

This is really disappointing. They had many chances to score and they did very much on attacking. From trials of shots and 7 shots on target, none could be any goal. I also don't understand why their attacking lines decreased so much. Whereas, Real Sociedad's defense was not that kind of very strong which could make Real Madrid not able to score any goal. There must be something wrong with them at the match. Ancelotti must evaluate especially their attacking lines.

Villarreal could not continue their good trend...

 



those damn villareals always manage to lose when I bet on them, it's even annoying for me that these guys only lose when I bet on them, I'll go back for a long time without betting on them and I hope that when I bet on them again they won't make me lose my bet, in this game they were the favorites and had all the good conditions to win the game, but they didn't even manage to score a goal and lost the game, I'm glad my bet wasn't a great value, but I I planned to take the value when they won and bet on another game, and the damn ones ruined my plans

International break seems breaking their focus , they should get the chhampions league spot though but at the current position at 5th and 3 points away from 4th position atletico and 8 points away from 3rd position real sociedad , it's a tough one to face and takeover the CL position.

Europa league might be the most reasonable one to reach for villareal this season.

Villarreal - Vallecano game wasn't a very impressive one. Both teams were quite bad at finding the target but I was still hoping to see Villarreal making it to the win. But Vallecano scored in the 70th minute surprisingly and managed to keep the score until the end. This was indeed an unexpected loss by Villarreal. They should have been more effective while they had Moreno especially.

I don't understand Villarreal really. They beat Real Madrid before by a really decent performance. But they are getting a result like this now. They are such an unbalanced team.

That's right, both teams shooted just 3 times on target during the whole match, vallecano team played very well defensively and was able to block all Villarreal attacks, first defeat for Villarreal after 5 matches without defeat in la Liga, they keep on the 5th place but the 6th betis still have a match to play

Villarreal wasted 3 precious points and it is quite good to see Rayo Vallecano improving comparing to the previous season and winning vs hard opponents.
Villarreal got 3 points vs Real Madrid earlier this month and missed 3 points vs Rayo Vallecano
For the positions, Real Betis still lacks 1 match so the worst scenario is to keep 2 points gap between them and Villarreal, while the best scenario is to beat Barcelona and move in front of ATM which is unlikely to happen.

That's always happen in football, Villarreal beat real Madrid and lost against vallecano who really showed great football this match, Villarreal still in a good position and they must not be very frustrated and continue their good preformence this year and why not playing the UCL in the next season

the thing about them is that they beat Real Madrid after the international break, and they played well against them and in the friendlies before that, but they somehow found difficulties against Rayo Vallecano, their race for CL qualification is really hard against a team like Atletico Madrid and even the Europa League since Real Betis are still one match behind and has the same points as Villarreal so far, Betis match will be against Barcelona so they could lose it and end up with the same points as Villarreal with 19 matches played, tough race for both of them without forgetting Rayo Vallecano of course.

Unfortunately, Gattuso failed to become Valencia coach. He was reportedly fired by Valencia as of January 30, 2023. It was very hard for a Gattuso to become a coach, he didn't shine so much, since 2013, he could only give 1 Coppa Italia trophy to Napoli. Meanwhile, when he coached other clubs, including Valencia, he experienced difficulties. Valencia in bad position, they are only 1 point different from the team in the relegation zone. Despite being in 14th position at the moment, it looks like the Valencia board does not want this negative result to continue, and has decided to sign mutual agreement to terminate the contract with Gattuso.

Maybe Gattuso does not match with a coach position and I think I am wrong if I say he is not smart enough to be a coach. It can be or can not, I don't know but a personal trait of Gattuso is like Roy Kean and I think such traits are not good for coaches. They will have more troubles to control their ego and adapt to their bosses as well as players. Generally, failing to be a part of whole club is not a good factor to support their success in management.

However, it is still early for Gattuso to achieve something for his management career. Like Claudio Ranieri who had bad career before a successful season with Leicester City. One season and it is enough for him, everyone remembered how he brought Leicester City to one of most surprising trophy in Premier League history.

Real Madrid failed to grab the three points in the game after a goal-less draw against real sociedad. The game was filled of actions from the Los blancos who took every single chances to net a goal but the visitors didn't hold back with a strong defendline in the match. That's the third draw for real madrid this season under Carlo Ancelotti. It was a must win game for the Los blancos who wasted most of their chances and dominated the entire first and second half, Vinicius Jr wasted chances and Remiro made great saves in the game and it led to levelled scoresheet. Real Madrid are ranked second on the table with 42 pointsz topping real sociedad with 3 points who are behind them.

To be honest, villareal was even very offensive started from the first minutes of playing. Raye vallecano's keeper was doing so well to make some important saves. Im so glad to see that with only one moment and raye vallecano was able to win against villareal. Villareal doesn't care so much about a counter attack that already made by raye vallecano. Villa real has been trying to give so many pressures for raye vallecano. Raye vallecano's defensive was very solid in that match. A bit surprised to see that even with full defensive againsg villareal has been making vallecano won against it.

Rayo Vallecano changed the game for Villarreal yesterday, because many people predicted for the favour of Villarreal to defeat Rayo Vallecano but the match turned for the favour of Ray Vallecano 1-0. Despite, Rayo Vallecano victory from the match Villarreal is still ahead of Rayo Vallecano in the la Liga league table which is the advantage Villarreal have to correct their mistakes in their next match. Based on the position Barcelona are right now, showed that they will not allow any team to bring them down from this first position in the la Liga league table than to use all their strategies to maintain the victory till the end of the tournament.

Even though Real Madrid really played well and created lot of chances, they were all in vain. This is the 3rd draw for Real Madrid this season at home, and I hope they will be even better in their next match.

Real Sociedad has a good record in La Liga. Before facing Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, Imanol Alguacil team won 5 consecutive wins in La Liga, the last time they were only able to draw against Valencia. In the last five matches played, Real Sociedad only conceded two goals and managed to score 11 goals.
Real Sociedad solid defense made it difficult for Real Madrid's players to find goals even though they controlled the game. There were no opportunities that were taken advantage of perfectly because Real Sociedad defense played very disciplined. Real Sociedad have become a new contender for the top four, I am not too surprised by their success in bringing home a point from the Santiago Bernabeu because their performances this season have been very good.

Being a great player doesn't mean you can also be a good manager that Gattuso managerial career didn't run smoothly he has several times sacked from manager positions and now Valencia has decide to sacked him but this is predictable before because no significant progress from Valencia since he arrived to this team at the beginning of season and with only 1 difference point above to relegation zone makes Valencia position in danger

Last season Valencia can able to finish at 9th position and they also can able reach to final match on Copa Del Rey and currently it's hard to repeated considering they already eleminate by Bilbao several days ago and next week Valencia will do hard match against Madrid this is difficult situations because probably they will play with their caretaker and until now i didn's see any rumour who will be the replacement of Gattuso

It seems that Gennaro Gattuso's departure cannot be contested anymore, considering that Valencia has appeared pathetic in its last 10 matches. Los Che have only won one of those 10 matches, and only once have they scored a clean sheet.

It seems that after the departure of Gennaro Gattuso, Valencia will return to training as usual, but under the direction of the interim coach, Salvador Gonzalez Marco or who is fondly called Voro.
