La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Porfirii]

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.

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.

You are right that the problem is in the last few games. Remember that before the World Cup in Qatar we all were convinced that Real Madrid was very consistent and Barcelona should improve the performance if they wanted to compete with Madrid. Xavi's ability as a coach was questioned by many, and now nobody doubts about it.

These are streaks as a result of slight variations in performance and, moreover, we could say that they are a result of chance too. Anyway, 5 points is not a great difference either.

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.

Real Madrid did not score in the first 45 minutes, but M. Asensio (52') took the lead early in the second half. After that just 2 minutes later V. Junior (54') scored another goal to confirm the victory of Real.
However, after that, both teams tried to score more goals, but in the end, neither team could see a goal. Despite winning this match, Real Madrid's points table has not changed. So far they are second in the points table with 45 points after playing 19 matches equal to Barcelona. Hopefully Real Madrid will perform better in the next matches.

[Docnaster]

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 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 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.

Madrid played with all amount of seriousness even from the first half. They needed to win after the draw against Sociedad and I'm happy they achieved it. Marco Asensio's brilliant goal was the main eye-opener after Madrid was so lucked with Valencia's defense that later seemed formidable in The second half. If only Valencia will be able to maintain a good counterattack pattern with the creative central 9, I quest they would have succeeded against strong opponents like Madrid and Villareal.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

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.

I think every week now will be a game in favor of Barcelona including next week's game against Sevilla. Sevilla as we know this season played far from what was expected, they worked so badly that they had to be at the bottom of the standings for some time. Now Sevilla is much better, but I don't think it will be enough to stop Barcelona who are in top condition. It will be very difficult for Sevilla to at least get 1 point in next week's game.

[naira]

Madrid game was quite impressive because it managed to make Valencia players mentally down. Luckily at that time Vini Jr. was able to avoid the tackles of his compatriot players. If Vini Jr couldn't dodge, he might be seriously injured. Controversy that is still hotly discussed today because Gabriel Palueta's intention is clearly to bring down Vini Jr.


Interestingly, the standings + points position between Barcelona and Real Madrid are the same as Arsenal and Man City + points each have. Including in terms of performance where Barcelona has a young, talented squad.

[makishart]

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.

Disrupting keeper from focusing the ball is not allowed in the football. It's real madrid's fault. The referee has been taking the right decision by disallowing such goal. Im not even feeling problem with it caused by the football game shall be fair for any team who already competed in it. I meant rudiger was not also feeling disappointed with it. Real madrid can still win the game easily against valencia. that's good for real madrid to keep the performance like that.
Two goals in a few minutes are still amazing for sure.

[hyudien]

Next week, Carlo Ancelotti's team will visit Mallorca headquarters. They came with the hope of being able to steal 3 points from their opponent's cage. Because they now have a very heavy burden, besides they have to maintain their point difference from Barcelona, Real Madrid also have to catch up and hope that somehow Barcelona can lose points in their game. Oh yes they still have hope, because Real Madrid and Barcelona will still meet this season.

[Doell]

Benzema has played in some positions and was responsible for totally different tasks in his long career. It makes Benzema is so diversifying with his skills and he can have good contributions for Real Madrid by many ways. Scoring goals, making assists, boosting his team-mates mentality and changing whole pictures after such moments.

Hours ago, he did not score goals but he had two assits and Real Madrid won 3 points to have a total difference smaller. Benzema will have more injuries because he is old and time is no longer stands with him.

No doubt, Benzema has done his best for Real Madrid, he should also be a much deserved role model for his young team mates. Indeed, the age that is not young has become a problem in his current career with an increasingly high injury rate, it is very unfortunate players which a lot contributed have always had injuries that limited their role so far. I read some news that Benzema injury is not too serious, but also he will possibility absent the next match for recovery.

[LGD2Business]

Athletic Bilbao will win this match, but odds of 1.21 are not enough for betting. Guruzeta did well in the forward, scoring 5 goals in the league. Nicholas and Inaki Williams also contribute goals. Athletic Bilbao is not bad with Valverde, of course they could be better. They must win against weak opponents like Cadiz. Thus, they have the possibility to rise to the top places and participate in the European Cups.

Real Madrid's team is always the best. Their performance is always the best. They managed to perform well against Villareal. Real Madrid has a great chance to win the title in La Liga.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Once again, an epic comeback for Real Madrid. After falling 2-0 behind Villarreal in the first half, they were finally able to pull off an epic comeback in the second half. Initially, there were doubts because Villareal's play was so good and tense. They were quite strong on all fronts and overwhelmed Real Madrid players until they took the lead. but unfortunately, they were unable to hold the position and just the opposite, losing in the end. Congratulations to Real Madrid has won the match against Villarreal 2-3.

A magnificent victory that will give Real strength and self-confidence. A second loss in a row and elimination from the tournament would have been a big blow, but once again an epic comeback and Real Madrid avoided such a deep failure in such a short period of time. I'm very happy for Vinicius - he scored the most important goal that was the start of this comeback and it was a good response to the criticism that has been heard towards him lately.

Real Madrid did great for them to equalise the two goals scored against them in the first half,and later won the match by scoring three goals in the second half. I admire their motivation and not letting their club to be defeated by Villa Real so that the point difference will not be that much. Real Madrid has proven themselves yesterday,that the team still have that quality that it takes to win their opponent,regardless how many goals down. Vinicius broke the deadlock in the team by scoring the first goal,I think Real Madrid needs to work on their defense, there is a loop hole in it,for a good performance and better result

Well, I think they should also put a lot of emphasis on defense, it's not bad, they have a great midfield, recovering ball, forwards, but I think it was a mistake to have let Casemiro go from Real Madrid, he's doing very well at Man United, he was a great reference in defense, and the most important thing is that he leads United's defense in a great way, so getting a defender of that style is difficult, I don't know if there is one like it now, but I would like them to be and keep an eye on the Italian teams, since they are the best in defense, also Ancelotti is Italian, he should know which player is the most convenient for his line of defense.

I read some news that Benzema injury is not too serious, but also he will possibility absent the next match for recovery.

Honestly, Benzema is a model to follow, not only because of his history of injuries that have been very serious, in fact they limited him from playing in the World Cup, although it is a fact that he does not like Deschamps, because he was going to play but Deschamps ruled him out and did not He treated him very well, but sometimes things are fair because in the same way I am sure that if Benzama had been in the World Cup final everything would have been complicated for Argentina, perhaps the winner would have been France because of one more goal from Benzema, but that He teaches a technical director and his players that young players are nice, but experienced and high-level ones like him are necessary.

However, they already say this:

Benzema and Militao expected to miss Real Madrid’s match against Mallorca

Real Madrid duo Karim Benzema and Eder Militao are expected to miss the club’s La Liga match against Real Mallorca on Sunday.

Both players will undergo MRI tests on Saturday to determine the extent of their injuries but positive outcomes could see them return in time for the Club World Cup, with Real’s semi-final in Morocco coming next Wednesday.

Benzema, 35, and Militao, 25, had to be substituted off during Real’s 2-0 win over Valencia on Thursday night.

Athletic Bilbao's chances to win this match are very high. Athletic Bilbao's coach has united all the players in the team. Athletic Bilbao has many performances ahead of the opposition.

[wmaurik]

Real Madrid's team is always the best. Their performance is always the best. They managed to perform well against Villareal. Real Madrid has a great chance to win the title in La Liga.

Real Madrid won not against Villareal, but Real Madrid won against Valencia at home today. It looks like you lack focus so you say Valencia as Villareal
Even though Villarreal will only play tomorrow at home to Elche, who is currently still in 20th place, namely the bottom rank in La Liga with a collection of just six points.
For Real Madrid, who are still in second place in the La Liga standings, they need to apply a better focus to each match in order to compete with their eternal rivals for the La Liga title this season again.

[bering]

Bilbao vs Cadiz

If we compared the recent performance between these teams Cadiz has slightly better because at least they can earn 2 wins from 5 latest matches and Bilbao seems had decline performance period because they failed to win in the last 5 matches even last week surprisingly Bilbao lose with slim score from Celta but i don't know why this time the bookie provide low odds for Bilbao @1.38 and the odds for Cadiz was very high @9.40

This match results probably will be unpredictable because the recent performance for both of teams but although Bilbao performance quite unstable i will considering host factor which makes Bilbao confident to facing this match and probably Bilbao will ended their poor period today and win from Cadiz although i am quite dissapoint to see the odds but Bilbao win could be the best pick for this match

Benzema is a great player. His role in Real Madrid is extensive. His role in Real Madrid's success is huge. But how long he will be able to perform well like this remains to be seen.

Real Sociedad was so hard on Real Madrid when defending they had some blunders but the number one saved some good chances Real Madrid created most especial the one from Vinicius which was tipped off.
That was a great goal he left the goal keeper wondering which way to go. Valencia played a total different game, if they so this against another side continually they won't miss Emery since he was the best coach they have had for some seasons

[rahmad2nd]

Interestingly, the standings + points position between Barcelona and Real Madrid are the same as Arsenal and Man City + points each have. Including in terms of performance where Barcelona has a young, talented squad.

It is appropriate if Madrid win the match over Valencia. As we know, Valencia's condition is more concerning than Madrid's performance. in fact they just fired the coach, with the situation that happened to Valencia. it is only fitting that Madrid take advantage of the momentum to get full points in the game. proven, Madrid won the game and minimize the difference in points with the top standings.

Unfortunately, the victory over Valencia had to be paid dearly by Real Madrid. The reason is, Karim Benzema is reportedly injured again, especially Eder Millitao who received a serious injury. what an unpleasant situation for Don Carlo, who will have a Champions League round of 16 match in the next few weeks. although reportedly, Ancelotti believes Benzema only suffered a minor injury and will not miss the match against Marllorca later. but for the defense, it looks like Don Carlo will have to look for other options if some of his players have to be absent again in the next few matches.

Next week, Carlo Ancelotti's team will visit Mallorca headquarters. They came with the hope of being able to steal 3 points from their opponent's cage. Because they now have a very heavy burden, besides they have to maintain their point difference from Barcelona, Real Madrid also have to catch up and hope that somehow Barcelona can lose points in their game. Oh yes they still have hope, because Real Madrid and Barcelona will still meet this season.

It should not become a big problem for madrid. Mallorca was always getting an inconsistent results at this moment. it's up and down again. Nothing to feel worried about Mallorca. I meant three points are so easy for madrid to get it. I think that if we are watching highlight from the match between real madrid against valencia and we can take the conclusion that real madrid can defeat Mallorca easily. It doesn't matter a lot where real madrid will be playing. As long as real madrid can keep its performance and I'm sure real madrid can pass it without any problem. 1.76 for real madrid. that looks good.

Football fans are very happy with the current performance of Barcelona. After a long time, Barcelona are back in their rhythm. Coach Xavi has worked hard with this team. It is through his strategy that the team is currently at one of its best performances.

Real Sociedad was so hard on Real Madrid when defending they had some blunders but the number one saved some good chances Real Madrid created most especial the one from Vinicius which was tipped off.

Sociedad?? Yeah, that match was another tough one...real Madrid didn't just get away with the draw point -- the was alot of pressure in the game though I wasn't seeing too many chances from sociedad compared to how it came from Thier opponents.

It's about Madrid's last match... I wasn't hoping to have them losing again as that would have reduced their overall stat in the Liga table.
I didn't believe the attacking midfielder/winger, Asensio would have pulled off that lucky shot into the net. Valencia -- on the other hand -- who's had a close spot to the relegation zone did alot to keep it at a 2-nil difference.
