La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[shinratensei_]

Finally Real Madrid returned to winning ways after beating Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Ancelotti's decision to leave Valverde on the bench for this match was very appropriate because at this time he was in a declining form and his position was finally filled by Dani Ceballos who performed very well until the match ended. The 2-0 result for Real Madrid's victory added their points to 45 and was only 5 points away from the leaders of the Barcelona standings.

Real Madrid could have had another goal but their first goal was disallowed. Real Madrid would win the match it was very much predicted.  Because Real Madrid was a much better team compared to Valencia and Real Madrid is now second in the points table but on the other hand Valencia is in 14th place.  So looking at the difference in these points will tell you how strong and how weak the team is. So Real Madrid is never compared to Valencia.

It can be seen from the statistic if real madrid is still far superior compared with valencia. Valencia has been trying so hard but I do like the midfielder that is being played by ancellotti just like ceballos. Any pass was coming from him is just unbelievable. He is very accurate like modric.
He is going to be the next modric for sure. I wanna say that I give him lots of applause for his comeback after he was always sitting on the bench. Real madrid's level is far above valencia at this moment.
That's why real madrid was able winning the game with cleansheet against valencia.

Barcelona is surely now having superior in defense and their attack is also useful which is helping them for having good number of goals Dembélé's absence is also not having any impact as Raphinha is also doing good job and Robert Lewandowski is also at his best which is good signal for them as now they are strongest for this year's title race.

Both team between Real Madrid and Barcelona having superior attacking line due 40 goals scored by Real Madrid in 19 matches and Barcelona left one by scoring 19 goals until matchday 19. Sees Barcelona have more advantage with their defensive area because conceded fewest goals until 19 matches with 7 goals than Real Madrid have conceded 16 goals.

Barcelona not depend at one player after Robert Lewandowski absent until five matches in La Liga but success keep continue 100% winning record, then another injured happening to Dembele but Barcelona keep superior last match after beating Real Betis. Possibility for Dembele absent until three matches later and has potential he will absent at Europe League playoff round against Manchester United.

Real Madrid was launching a full-court press on Valencia, and I could see how Benzema was making an effort to score. However, I was confident that Valencia could not win because the first goal was cancelled out by Var and Vini, who actually performed well by scoring the second  goal with was a simple goal that the goalkeeper didn't see.

But what's interesting in this case is that even though Benzema couldn't score a goal, the 2 assists he provided were clearly very good, especially with fast goals, which were very difficult for Valencia to anticipate.
With this win, they still keep 5 points because it will be very difficult if they continue to lose points, considering that Barcelona is currently unbeaten after losing to Madrid in El Clasico last October.

Fortunately for Real Madrid, they managed to win yesterday's match versus Valencia. Otherwise, the gap in points between them and FC Barcelona would start to be too wide.

Both Valencia and Betis got a red card respectively, which made things easier for Barça and Madrid. In addition, even when Madrid did not concede any goal, I wouldn't say that his performance was better than Barça's because they had the advantage of playing at home.

Real Madrid's task from now on is to continue to win matches this season by hoping that Barcelona can be beaten by other teams in the remaining matches this season. Because only then can Real Madrid cut the gap in points that has already happened with Barcelona. After all, Real Madrid will also meet Barcelona again this season, so whether you want it or not, Real Madrid must try consistently from now on to win in every game so that they can reduce the gap in points when Barcelona is defeated by another team.

Once again he continues to do very well under the trust of Ancelotti.
He is still one of the good players for Madrid and this 1 goal makes Madrid more confident and still proves that he deserves to play as a starter.
They finally managed to get 3 points after the difficulty of doing that in the previous few matches.

There is many Correction for Ancelotti next if still wants to keep the line of champions. As we can see how hard they are on 1st half which I think they must win at least 4 different goals. Maybe they must be maximizing again midfielder role to keep supplying the ball to the attacker with uninterrupted.

The problem is that currently some of their defenders have a little problem so like it or not they have to try to explore the abilities of the players in the middle and defense.
When Mendy and Carvajal couldn't be at their posts due to recovery, we know now Camavinga was used as fullback there and inevitably there was some balance loose in midfield so Modric sometimes played in a different position.

A very good result for Real Madrid this week, because they can keep their distance from Barcelona with at least 3 additional points after this game.
Yes, Barcelona itself is a team that is difficult to stop now, especially after they have improved a lot this season. La Liga is going to be an interesting run if this point gap does not change and even if Real Madrid are able to reduce the point gap between them. There is still an El Clasico match which will be decisive later in my opinion. Because in that match it became very crucial for the two competing teams.

Yes, I know about the disallowed goal because Rudiger had fouled before scoring. But even though the difference in position is very large between these two teams, I had doubts that Real Madrid would have trouble scoring goals. However, all of that was answered when within 5 minutes of the second half they managed to score 2 quick goals and secure the victory at the same time.

After an outstanding performance in Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid earned their victory. Their next goal is to gradually reduce the point difference between themselves and their main rival, Barcelona. With a well-thought-out game plan for the match that guaranteed the Los Blancos would win with a clean sheet, Carlo Ancelotti wants the best for his side. He had a purpose for putting Valverde on the bench and starting Dani Ceballos, and his decisions shouldn't be questioned because he is the boss and determines who plays and who doesn't. Good stats from Dani Ceballos, who I find to be a solid backup replacement for Valverde based on his game performance.

True, now is the chance for Real Madrid to cut the gap on points from arch-rivals Barcelona in the standings and Ancelotti's decision to decide who will fill in the starting line-up in the next game is worth waiting for. Given that lately Ancelotti seems to be confused in determining formations or players that match his playing style. But again, I hope Dani Ceballos can fill in the starting line-up so that Real Madrid's game is more lively and growing.

In any case, Real Madrid did what it had to do and that is to win. But the deficit is still significant to Barcelona. They play at home against Sevilla this week. On paper you would say an easy game, based on the current ranking. But Seville is still a big name and has performed quite well nationally and internationally in recent years. This is also the chance for Sevilla to show how good they can still be. But what seems more likely to be the case is that Barcelona will probably have a fairly easy and perhaps big victory. The match Barcelona - Real Madrid is only on April 5, a lot can happen in those months.

[OcTradism]

But even though the difference in position is very large between these two teams, I had doubts that Real Madrid would have trouble scoring goals. However, all of that was answered when within 5 minutes of the second half they managed to score 2 quick goals and secure the victory at the same time.

There was a foul before that goal and caused it was rejected by the referee after taking VAR signal. However, the player made that foul is not Rudiger but Benzema who even got a yellow card with that situation.

In the match, Benzema missed one good key pass from Modric but he created two assists to Asensio and Vini Jr. as well as at least one key pass which was wasted by his team-mate too. The back heel of Benzema reminds me about a back heel from Guti to Benzema about 10 years ago.

we achieved an important victory, as a fan of real madrid i feel very happy with this victory, with this victory we are not very far from barcelona in the table, but we are 5 points behind barcelona, these points are very high, from now on real madrid cannot afford to lose points because they will risk seeing barcelona be champions. we have to win every game and hope that barcelona loses points, and knowing that barcelona has become a strong team in defense, it will be very difficult for real madrid to stay in first place

After having poor first half performance, in second half Real Madrid done two quick goals and now have full three important points for the having 5 points gape from top rank team Barcelona which is good for them even now they need more than this effort for having any chance to win this season, but things are looking not good for them because they are having injuries issue which is not good for them.

I agreed with you about this match Athletic Bilbao vs Cadiz is surely going to be interesting match because right now Athletic Bilbao is one of the worst teams in league table with having only 2 points from last five games and their performance is also on decline with Cadiz is doing good and have two wins in their last two visits at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao) but as bookies giving odds for me this could be trapped as well because this is not going to be easy match for the home side.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

BTW, I can't believe the performance shown by Valencia, they didn't attempt any shots in the first half, and in the second half they made 4 attempted shots but with 0 shots on goal, LOL.

Nothing surprising, as I said in my previous post. Valencia is a team that will end up in the second division. It had a lot of problems already and Lim has finished it off, more concerned with doing business with the transfers via Mendez than giving the club viability. With the transfers alone he has already made a return on his investment, and when Valencia go down to the second division he will sell it at a bargain price and that's it.

That Madrid won was normal, Valencia can be thankful that it was only by two goals.

[Majestic-milf]

I checked the standings and was forced to ask: was 14th placed Valencia hoping they could cop three points from 2nd placed and desperate Real Madrid? It would have looked likely because in the first half, good chances were created by them and we witnessed some form of frustration from Ancelotti's men as they managed to bag two yellow cards, benzema not excluded.
 But as they say, good things come to those in this case who are persistent. Assisting two goals is a far more better reward than yellow for Benzema.
Real Madrid would have to pray that Sevilla holds Barca to either a draw or possibly win the match to enable them bridge the five point gap a little since their game against Mallorca will be an easy win.

Of course, but you can't just hope Real Madrid win it while Barcelona can win it too.
There is one more El Clasico in La Liga, while Real Madrid and Barcelona will also play 2 El Clasico matches in the semifinals of the Copa Del Rey. If you think Barcelona can drop points, then Real Madrid can too. These two teams are in competition, but for the time being Barcelona are the favorites if they don't change quickly.

for now Real Madrid just needs to maintain consistency because in the last few games the problem this team is facing is a problem of consistency even though they managed to win 2 goals over Valencia but that's not enough because the rest of the game this season is still very much and they are still 5 points behind Barcelona is currently at the top of the standings.

a 2-goal victory over Valencia is of course a very natural thing because the quality of the teams is very different, Valencia this season is in a very bad state and currently they are at the bottom of the standings.

Real Madrid need a refresher with their current squad depth, which was evident by how difficult they found the net against Valencia. The tension of the match increased slightly after Valencia managed to draw against Real Madrid in the first round, but in the second half Real Madrid managed to control the match by scoring 2 goals.

It was a win like this that Real Madrid was hoping for as they looked very motivated to stay close to Barcelona who were still 5 points ahead this week. Meanwhile Real Madrid will visit Mallorca this weekend, and Barcelona will host Sevilla at Camp Nou. I think these two teams can win their respective matches, so the standings for both of them should still be the same.

It will not be easy to predict who will drop points in their next meeting in the match titled El Clasico. Yes, as you said, it could be Real Madrid who lose points and it could also be Barcelona who will lose these points. All possibilities can happen in their match later. Real Madrid must always get 3 points if they want to close the distance from their rival, while hoping that Barcelona can slip and make mistakes.

It was a very important win for Real Madrid to not give more chances for Barcelona to wide the difference in points which is 5 points. Valencia team wasn’t that strong in defense nor attack the match wasn’t hard for Karim Benzema and his comrades they even scored a goal in first half which was canceled after reviewing the VAR because of Karim’s fault.
The second half we saw two beautiful goals from Marco Asensio and Vinícius Jr both goals were from an individual work. About red card that one of Valencia’s player got it was very childish if you see when that defender could stop Vini.
I don’t think Real Madrid will fill the points gaps before the next Classico against Barcelona

Well Valencia played their first game after the dismissal of Gatuzzo, the last 3 games they lost so the team is clearly not in the best shape and in general the chances of Valencia were so little. Thanks to VAR for scoring in the first half and Asensio, who could have opened the account in the beginning, but Mamardashvili helped and saved the team. And you would have died the intrigue at once. Asensio eventually rehabilitated himself by scoring a very nice goal, by the way he does not score others. It is a pity that this year he is not always in the basis of Real, he is interesting, reliable and creative player, but he does not have enough stability, but so far Real has no such player on the right wing.

Today Madrid's game was quite good even though the first half they didn't get any results but their game in the second half was able to produce 2 great goals.
Obviously Barcelona will pick up the three points again, Valencia and Sevilla are not far away in their standings side by side at the moment. I'm not sure about the game performance that Sevilla will show against Barcelona and win it taking three points from the leaders. I think it's quite difficult at the moment, at least Sevilla plays to a draw until the end of the drink to get 1 point, but it's still a draw in my opinion quite difficult too for Seville.
