La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[lifeOK]

I don't think Barcelona have any chance to be in the top 3 in this season. They have to chance their game strategy. I think their lineup should also change. Messi and Grizmen are not doing well together. Koeman should be more concentrate on this. Grizmen miss many easy chances. It is totally unexpected from a good player. He has to working hard more.

Question is can Ronald Koeman fix Barcelona where many one put a big question mark on his style of managing Barca. What a urgent move by Bartameu to recruit this person. We all enjoyed their game, presently we are facing the dark days as none of the players were settled under his administration.

Ronald Koeman will find it difficult to change the pattern of Barcelona's game if there is Lionel Messi in the team, and even Satien, the former Barcelona coach who was fired last season, said he had difficulty managing Barcelona because of Messi's unruly character. The same thing will be felt by the current Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman when there is still messi, even from the 5 games that Messi has played this season he has not been able to score goals from open play.

It's only 6 games played and people start mocking on him badly.

Let him to settle in the club correctly in next few matches , having the same expectation as when Barcelona had xavi, puyol, iniesta, ronaldinho and prime messi won't help the club to get up , it takes ages to bring the old Barcelona. Not even pep guardiola or any coaches can do it.
Barcelona is the next ac milan seems legit now, everyone expects the great Barcelona while the situation are so bold different.
Next 3 Barcelona matches in la liga are against:

Real betis
Atletico
Osasuna

Koeman should get all three points from those matches otherwise the pressure might become more and more crazier.

No matter how much we dislike Koeman, we have to admit that Koeman is a very skilled coach. Many of us have dislike Koeman because he has made some big changes to the Barcelona team since taking over as Barcelona coach. Many of us didn't like this change. But I rely on Koeman. The team is almost new now. They need more time to stabilize.

Even if I'm a Real Madrid fan, but I'm speechless to see the performance of Barcelona lately. What's happening with Barcelona? They never won in the last 4 matches in La Liga and stucked in the 12th position. I've seen the La Liga table for more than 15 years (almost 20 years), but I never saw the worse performance than today. I assume Barcelona needs something new for their new spirit. Maybe a new president, new coach, new strategy, or etc. The point is to bring a new situation to motivate Barcelona players having a higher spirit to win again.


The picture above got from "google search" about the la Liga table.

it is a bad start, but i would not say that it is unexpected, i have already said that do not expect Barcelona to finish within top two, and would not count out the possibility for them to even be fourth at the end
their game is just too predictable, and we all know how they will play, they need some changes to do better, and that will happen throughout the season, for sure, but i am not sure that they could pick up enough to reach position two, title is reserved for Real this season

Real Madrid is not playing any better this season... They are just lucky to get the results.
Real has a serious problem in the scoring part... Especially in the start of the season they had so many games in a row that ended as Under 2,5 goals scored . Barcelona is in worse situation right now but I don't think that they would not compete for the title till the end of the season.

Real Madrid has no players who can strengthen the team's game by coming on as a substitute. and Zidane understands this very well. I think Real Madrid will give all its strength to win LaLiga. and Barcelona will focus on the Champions League. They haven't won it for a long time. I don't think there will be a new champion in LaLiga.

I'm not even so concerned about the position, but there more crisis on the horizon than what's evident on the pitch... The club is said to be in huge debt, and the next president to be is already proposing wages reduction across the team.

I think Barcelona season might be over already 

[kawetsriyanto]

Barcelona has the worst start of the season, during first 5 matches from the last 15 years if i remember correctly.

Yep, it is absolutely a bad start for this season. How can they only win 2 matches from 6 first matches in this season? This never happened in Barcelona previously. They will note this as the worse performance at the beginning of a new season. Also, it is a sad fact to see that they are only at the 12th position on the table now.

They had 2 tough matches against Real and Sevilla but to drop 5 points against teams like Getafe and Alaves is just unacceptable.

Indeed, defeated by Real Madrid and Sevilla can be acceptable. But defeated by a weak team like Getafe and got a draw against Alaves were quite surprising. Barcelona really needs an evaluation from all aspects. Not only from strategy but also from the player's motivation as well.

We can talk all day about Barcelona but so far Sociedad and Real Madrid are nailing it in LaLiga with both teams being very solid this year when it comes to a title shot but personally, I would not exclude Atl.Madrid from this fight as since Suarez came , they really have a strong attack now that no longer needs to rely on defensive moves in order to win a game.

issues that occurred in Barca's management which I think have made Barca worse in a few games.  plus the financial problems that are attacking Barca.  in this season it looks like Barca will not finish in the top 3 of the standings..

Barcelona is threatened with bankruptcy in January 2021 due to mismanagement while under the leadership of president Josep Maria Bartomeu. Ironically, when in a difficult situation like this, Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi intends to leave the Estadio Camp Nou.

I agree. Also people looking at the table forgot that Real Madrid is lacking one game so they can become the first in the table with 2 points difference. ATM has 2 other games to play and can become the first too if it get the 6 points! Barca can jump to the 5th spot if it win its 2 delayed games.
The fact that there is different match played in La Liga is confusing, 6 or 7 or 8... well it may be an opportunity for those teams to recover when they find their best performance after a while

Maybe they are tired of the title for the team (Lol). I think messi will have to do well after their president Bartomeu resigns from the club president and this will affect all the players. Because I heard this is the last problem at Barca. Many people think, messi is the most important thing in the club and even the president can be made to resign. But I think management should act decisively after everything he wants is fulfilled but he doesn't work well.

Not everything can be solved with one attack. all the same, the midfield is everything. while Atletico Madrid is looking for a balance between the lines, but a pretty serious contender not only for Real Madrid.

~in this season it looks like Barca will not finish in the top 3 of the standings..

It is too early predicting Barca won't finish in the top 3 this season. Who knows if Barcelona can be back on the right track? Even we can't claim that Barcelona won't be the winner this season since there are still many remaining matches. There is always a chance for some changes, moreover this season still in the beginning phase.

My question is if Barcelona is not going to finish in top 3 of the standings then who is going to do so?
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid would be the two of the three... So, who is going to be the third one?
Neither Villareal nor Sociedad are better that Barcelona, they are just getting the results right now and this is the reason why Sociedad is on the top of the standings (with one game more of course)...

Before the start of the season, I was sure that Sevilla would surely be at the top but they are currently even worse than Barcelona 
Maybe Villarreal or Real Betis?
It's really a surprise that Real Sociedad is currently leading in the Spanish championship, but they will hardly last long at the top.

[kassex]

Will be known in a couple of months. I think that the first half of the season will show who is capable of what. But so far, Koeman has failed. Most likely the team has no drive or desire.

I sincerely believe that Barcelona will be in the top 3. Barcelona is playing badly because, not all the players on the team are familiar with the each other’s. Messi can't adapt with Griezmann. But we all know Griezmann is a good striker. On the other hand, Koeman is an experienced coach. I think he will be able to turn Barcelona into a stable team in 3-4 more matches.

If Barcelona can't go to the top 3. then I think Villarreal will be at the top 3. They are playing very well. I don't understand why you don't think Villarreal is suitable for the top 3? They were also in fifth place in the previous season.

My favorite team in La Liga in this season is Real Madrid. Although they are not like the old Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo, they are having nice games lately and I think that their chance of being the champions is quite high. Barcelona seem to be having important problems this season. Lionel Messi was almost leaving the team. He didn't leave but they don't play very good as a team this season. If Real Madrid don't take the championship, I believe Atletico Madrid or Real Sociedad can be the champions. Especially, Real Sociedad are the surprising team of this year. They haven't been the champions since 40 years. I would like to see that they can make it happen this season.

[Rabi3]

Barcelona vs real Betis, this is the chance of blaugrana to recover in La liga after failing to win in the last four games, Barcelona are going to face
a really good team, but the star of the team Nabil Fekir is not going to play due to injury, but not just him is going to miss the match, even Juanmi
and Christian Tello with the same reason, this is the chance for Barcelona to show off that they are still after the title even though the difference
is kinda big, i think it's going to be an easy game for them, a four goals to nil (4-0) is my prediction.
