La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[dwminer1]

Today's match Betis vs Barcelona promises to be interesting. The favorites are certainly the visitors, who have been winning regularly recently, but they are not convincing victories. Barcelona's last 3 games have ended 1-0. Today, after a red card penalty, Robert Lewandowski returns to the game, so maybe more goals will be scored. However, I don't think we will see a high score as both teams have the fewest goals conceded in the league. I believe that today also both teams will be defending the access to their own goal first and then they will think about attacking. That's why I bet on under 2.5 goals.

For Betis this match is also important as they still hope to get into the top 4. Betis can expect a draw but their last games have not been very good, while Barcelona have a great winning streak and Xavi is clearly determined to win La Liga. Dembele is a significant loss, but Barcelona have a big bench, Xavi will find someone to replace him. In addition, in the cup match, Betis was lucky that two goals of Barcelona were canceled due to VAR, today Barcelona can be more accurate and win.

On paper, Barcelona is the superior team in this match, especially now that Barcelona is in its best performance. Barcelona which is trying to keep its distance from Real Madrid, will play its maximum to bring home three points at home to Real Betis.
This match will be a little easier for Barcelona because Real Betis is not at its best, it was recorded that in its last five matches Real Betis was only able to win twice, lose two and draw one. Meanwhile, Barcelona are unbeaten in their last nine matches, Xavi Hernandez's team were able to win eight wins and only draw once. My prediction is that this match will end in a 3-1 win for Barcelona.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Have been habit for Real Madrid make come back on every match, actually conceded two goals against Villareal on first half and success win later  late goals from Dani Ceballos make score become 2-3. Despite this winning on Copa Del Rey have been excited for Real Madrid after success revenge after beating last match on La Liga.

Still left both bigger team in quarter final of Copa Del Rey after Barcelona qualifying to next round, I hope both team can meet at the final and again watching el clasico match between Barcelona vs Real Madrid.

It was a great comeback for real madrid yesterday they needed that win especially after the poor performance recently both on laliga and supercup i hope we see el classico again in copa del ray i am interested how real madrid will react and perform after that big loss in the supercup.

Real Madrid's defeat last week to Barcelona became Carlo Ancolleti's reference for improve the squad, especially since the Champions League will start soon. I'm afraid they won't last long in the UCL if they don't immediately fix their main squad
Concentration will determine the future of Real Madrid because the UCL and Laliga will run together

If not for the fact that Villareal was a little bit loose in the midfield than it was, I don't think Real Madrid will be lucky enough to get such a comeback. They still made the same mistake there did against Barcelona, giving too much pace for the opposite side to penetrate in the early hours of the match. Carlo Ancelotti's boys were quite lucky in the match against Villareal and will learn from it, and it is important they find a way to fix it before the tough matches ahead.

Yes, I can't deny it, I don't know why Ancelotti hasn't chosen to correct such a thing, however, luck is always with Real Madrid, but the change of strategy is not so easy, you have to see that this strategy worked for them last season The League, aside from that, they also won the UCL, this is something that Ancelotti saw and applied, but seeing all the things that the players of this team can achieve is something that they should not do much, a luxury how to play in the end like never before is something that It seems very reckless to me, I hope they change that strategy a bit, I am one of the people who believes that Real Madrid needs just that arrangement.

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.

It's a shame that his football career was so extraordinary but it wasn't worth it when he was a coach and it seems like a tough decision for Valencia to take considering they had to slump at the bottom of the standings this season. Gattuso did not make a winning contribution for Valencia, therefore since yesterday there has been news that he was sacked and I can only hope that in the coming season he will find a new club where he can train. For Valencia, I hope they find a replacement coach for Gattuso soon, considering that the competition at the bottom is so tight and most teams have the same points as Valencia.

Well, Gattuso's era when he was a soccer player was splendid, only now in this new stage as technical director it's not so easy, things get complicated, you have to have a much broader vision of soccer, you have to take into account Mind how each player plays, what his style is and how he can direct them in the best way to give him good results, I hope he doesn't retire and he has learned a lot more, it's difficult, when you have teams like these and you're starting to own the teams only think about good results, sometimes luck is not on their side or things just don't turn out the way they want, I wouldn't doubt Gattuso for a single minute as a coach, it's just that he has to keep trying and be more successful.

more about Gattuso:


Gennaro Gattuso leaves Valencia by 'mutual agreement'

Valencia announced on Monday that coach Gennaro Gattuso was leaving the club. The club said that the two sides “have decided by mutual agreement to terminate the contractual relationship”.

After losing 1-0 to Valladolid on Sunday, Valencia are 14th in La Liga, one point above the relegation places.

“It is clear that I am responsible for this,” Gattuso said on Sunday after the defeat.

Spanish media said that Gattuso had been frustrated by the lack of transfer activity by the club and met with club’s top management on Monday.

Gattuso, a defensive midfielder who played 73 times for Italy, first became a head coach in 2013 with Sion in Switzerland.

Much encouragement to our Italian friend, he is a crack, it is a new beginning, and as I said before, every beginning is very hard.

Even though Real betis have won the last match and have the same points with top clubs who hard given Barcelona a tough time even winning Bercelona but that doents equal real bentis being able to win tonight against Barca since Barcelona is more formed that Real bentis.

On paper, Barcelona is clearly superior. Especially now that Xavi Hernandez's troops are in their best performance. Barcelona are recorded as unbeaten in their last nine matches in the 2022-2023 Spanish League. Remarkably, eight of these matches were won by the team nicknamed the Blaugrana. I think barcelona will get full points against real betis later

It looks like that, but who knows Real Betis will give Barcelona an unexpected surprise in this match. Looking at the meeting record of the two clubs, Barcelona has dominated the victory every time they met. In this match, Xavi Hernandez's squad will definitely target 3 points in order to maintain the point difference they have created with Real Madrid. On the other hand, for Real Betis, victory is important in order to maintain their position in the standings and even to be in a better position. Real Betis will try to grab at least one point, if they can't get the full points.

[Merit.s]

Its seems postponed match between Real Betis vs Barcelona are matchday 17, looking on odd given seems excited because above @1.70 are bigger for Barcelona have consistency performance in this season. Are Robert Lewandowski have finished with his punishment for five matches in La Liga? I think if Lewandowski back to starting eleven having potential for Barcelona winning more than one goal.

Last three matches in La Liga Barcelona faced difficulty how scoring more than one goals although success with unbeaten record but winning with one goals seems not productive with attacking line after leaving by Lewandowski due punishment received.

The match should have been played a long time ago, but other leagues and circumstances prevented it. Nevertheless, I somehow have a strong feeling that they will want to defeat Barcelona or draw with them because the last time they faced off in the Spanish Super Cup, Betis drew Barcelona into a penalty shootout before losing to Barcelona, and now that they are playing this game at Estadio, they would want to play a defensive match with strategic opposition.

While Betis and Villareal both have the same number of points and won their last match against Getafe, I anticipate them to struggle in this game with a double opportunity because sometimes the games we don't take seriously turn out unexpectedly. This is what I hope will happen with Real Betis.

They can only attempt to defeat Barcelona, but I am confident that it will be impossible for them. In fact, I don't even see them drawing the match because Barcelona won the last time they met, even if it ended in a penalty shootout. Because of this, Barcelona won't want to take any chances and will not even attempt to draw the match. When it comes to playing defense, there is always room to adjust tactics, so for me, this is a clear victory for Barcelona.

Real Betis might be difficult for Barca to play but at the end Barca will win the match. Lewandoski will be playing the match and I don't see who will be able to stop him if he has a chance to net the post. Barca are in a good form and will learn from the last match that they played with Real Betis not to underestimate them. This will make them add more effort  in other for them to win the match. Dembele absence might be a challenge but Barca will try to cover up the vacuum. Real Betis is always giving Barca tough time and will think this match very serious.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Betis indeed love to make difficulties for Barcelona especially in home games. In their latest game in the Super Cup, Lewandowski was also able to play and he scored also. But still Betis resisted Barcelona really well until the end of the penalty shoot-outs. Here in this game, Lewandowski will be able to play again as he has completed his time of suspension. Barcelona really need his scoring skills to get more advantageous here in this tough game.

Betis would like to try the same strategies against them. Because it worked really well in 90 minutes and that's all they need in the La Liga. Barcelona shouldn't be incapable of finishing their dangerous attacks with goals otherwise a really problematic game might be waiting for them.

[TopT3ns]

In addition, in the cup match, Betis was lucky that two goals of Barcelona were canceled due to VAR, today Barcelona can be more accurate and win.

Real Betis shouldn't be a difficult opponent for Barcelona and Xavi has a goal to improve the image of Barcelona which has recently become bad. If Barcelona succeeds, it will make Xavi's name shine again and of course trigger investors to provide additional funds for Barcelona's development.

I can still clearly recall how they played Barca the previous time they played; Barca actually had more ball control than Betis and from their pass accuracy they were having a battle with Barcelona; this shows how excellent they are, and I think Barca is prepared since their goal is to win the championship. so let us wait and see what the outcome of the game.

[3meek]

Usually when Betis play Barcelona a lot of goals are scored... I'm sure both teams will score bet should work... Betis have not won a single home game in their last five... I don't think that's going to happen tonight either... Barcelona should win this game... Barcelona are in great form at the moment and need points...

[skarais]

I'm not considering the worst consequences of this match for Barcelona, ​​that's because they are in good form so far.
Xavi and all the players have good confidence to win this match at the Benito Villamarín Stadium. You're guessing right, Barcelona will have to try hard to win, but now that Lewandowski has had his chance again I think he can help to win it.

On the Barcelona side, Ousmane Dembele has been confirmed out of action due to muscle injury. I think this is disadvantage especially after all season Ousmane Dembele has proved his quality. Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati might get their chance, and it should be. Last season Real Betis and Barcelona lost at home while they won away match. I think this is difficult match for both of them, especially after Real Betis had made me doubt about Barcelona's qualification for the Spanish Super Cup final some time ago.

Barcelona need points, and so do Betis too. Barcelona need the points so they can go 8 points ahead of Real Madrid before they play Valencia tomorrow, if they are 8 points ahead before Real Madrid plays, it will make Madrid a little bit scared during their game, and they can drop some points because of that. Real Betis need points because they are challenging to qualify for the champions league, they have 31 points now in 6th position, while 4th position Athletico Madrid have 34 points, so they are very close and a win will take them higher. Barcelona are a better team though, and most fans expect a victory for them.

[KTChampions]

Barcelona are recorded as unbeaten in their last nine matches in the 2022-2023 Spanish League. Remarkably, eight of these matches were won by the team nicknamed the Blaugrana.

Based on the La Liga statistics, Barcelona should win this game without question. But bookmakers apparently think otherwise and give quite generous quotes for the victory of Barcelona:

4.80 - 3.80 - 1.76

Maybe they take into account the fact that even though Barcelona won the last games, they did it with great difficulty.

I don't think that's going to happen tonight either... Barcelona should win this game... Barcelona are in great form at the moment and need points...

But I don't think this match will be raining goals considering that Barcelona in the last 3 matches in La Liga could only win with a narrow score. there is a possibility that this match will also end in a narrow score.

But on paper I believe Xavi squad can win this match because Barcelona are in a pretty good situation against real Betis. but barcelona was not strengthened by Dembele in this match, but lewandowski seems to be returning after being absent due to injury. I think he will be able to score goals in this match.

[hahay]

After everything that has happened for Barcelona with Xavi so far, I think Xavi has managed to improve Barcelona's image again. Also about the winning record with Betis, I also think Barcelona is doing well so far so there are no problems for this match.
Because even though Barcelona are playing away, the reality is that Betis' situation and condition are not completely good so that Barcelona will still have a big chance to win.

Looking at some of the statistics of the matches that Barcelona played I also think it will only be a minimum of goals but apart from that Barcelona are clearly in good shape and I think it will be 3 points for them as well.
Betis are currently not doing too well and they will likely adopt a defensive strategy to contain Barcelona's game and expect a draw in this game.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Barcelona and the team plus coach seem to be at peace with a small win. Why not? I always think that 1-0 results are extremely dangerous, but if your defense is behind well and you don't give away big chances, it could be a pretty good game plan. We won't see the Barcelona of the past in the attack, but is that necessary? In recent years it was actually mediocre how Barcelona played and the results were not great either. This year they have shown some nice football at times. Real Madrid is no longer the favourite. Where Barcelona does manage to win the matches, Real Madrid has been losing points for a few weeks in a row now. As a result, the gap with Barcelona has already become 5 points.

I think it's not only having to beat Real Betis, but staying consistent and always winning will allow Barcelona to get funding from investors or other development funds. Even so, Barcelona must secure the La Liga title this season so that the above can be achieved.

[Ulven]

In this match, Xavi Hernandez's squad will definitely target 3 points in order to maintain the point difference they have created with Real Madrid. On the other hand, for Real Betis, victory is important in order to maintain their position in the standings and even to be in a better position. Real Betis will try to grab at least one point, if they can't get the full points.

Yes, that's a possibility. Both Barcelona and Real Betis will definitely come into the match with different objectives, This match promises to be an exciting showdown, with both teams bringing their own strengths to the table. Juanmi will be a player to watch for Real Betis, as he has a strong track record against Barcelona and has the potential to cause some upsets. On the other side, Robert Lewandowski's return for Barcelona will be a boost for the Catalan side, especially given his recent scoring form. With Betis being known for their solid defense, especially in the first half, this game will definitely be a test for both teams. Keep an eye out for the battle between Betis' defense and Barcelona's offense, as it could make for an intriguing match.

[Falconer]

After everything that has happened for Barcelona with Xavi so far, I think Xavi has managed to improve Barcelona's image again. Also about the winning record with Betis, I also think Barcelona is doing well so far so there are no problems for this match.
Because even though Barcelona are playing away, the reality is that Betis' situation and condition are not completely good so that Barcelona will still have a big chance to win.

Don't underestimate Real Betis too much, I think it will definitely be fatal. So far Real Betis have played 8 home matches (W5, D2, L1), and I can say that Real Betis are also a strong team at home this season. Real Betis have only conceded 5 goals at home in their last 8 matches and this is proof that their defense is solid enough to withstand the onslaught of enemy attacks.

But when Betis' statistics are compared to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona is still superior. Barcelona have conceded only 6 goals from the total games they have played, their defense is very strong and they are the only team to have conceded the lowest number of goals in all the top leagues in Europe. I'm expecting 1 point for the home team, meaning draw looks likely should Real Betis not win it.
