La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rahmad2nd]

Ahead of the match against Villarreal at the weekend, Barcelona firmly expects to be able to maintain its great form this season. All the first team are available for this match as I could see in their training sessions at the Ciutat Esportiva "except Dembele who is still dealing with his injury". I also hope they can maintain their form, and once again this is home match which should allow them to maintain their unbeaten record.

Villareal is an opponent that can challenge Barcelona and can prevent Barcelona to have three points. The injury of Dembele and his missing are one of things Barcelona don't want to have but they have other players who can replace Dembele. Their system works well and other players can cover the missing of Dembele. With that good system, they won't have to rely only on a single player to replace Dembele. I expect to see good performance from Ansu Fati and he should take advantage of Dembele injury to reclaim his position and more important role in Barcelona. It would be important for him if he can get part of his best performance in this season and will be able to play better in a next season.

I'm very confident and also optimistic about Barcelona, ​​and now it's all backed up by interesting facts about Barcelona's struggles this season in La Liga

They have good advantage and history supports them too but it is too early to say about title. Real Madrid are still there and they are not a weak competitor.

Right. maybe, Villarreal can become a stumbling block for Barcelona to gain full points in the match later. but Unfortunately, Villarreal's current form is inconsistent. in their last two matches, Villarreal was defeated by Rayo and fell when competing against Elche. so I doubt, the home team can keep up with Barcelona's game. even though Dembele was absent in this match, it looks like Xavi still has other player options like Raphinha who played quite well against Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is performing a very positive trend. it seems very difficult for Villarreal topple the away team in the match later. especially at the first meeting this season, Villarreal was slaughtered 3-0. IMO, I wouldn't be surprised if Xavi would tweak his formation and strategy against Villarreal. because Xavi will maximize his team to continue to widen the points gap from his rival, Real Madrid.

Moreover, Barcelona also has a crucial match that will meet United in the Europa League playoff round, so it looks like Xavi will maximize his troops to earn full points before focusing on the match against United.

It was just close and it was rejected even by Mbappe himself by choosing the abundance of money and authority that PSG gave to Mbappe.
At the moment, is Madrid going to take action that really isn't really necessary, in my opinion, because regardless of trying to approach Mbappe, it just seems like they haven't found any other options.
I know Mbappe is one of the best now but it does seem forced to just go back to Mbappe again and again.

Real Madrid have no other option but to approach Mbappe at the end of the season so they can find a suitable striker to replace Benzema.
Mbappe has a high release clause, but one that Real Madrid may be obliged to fulfill if they are interested in Mbappe. It's honest that Real Madrid were very disappointed when Mbappe chose to stay at PSG this season, but that is the player's right even if many people think he has been influenced by big money.

So now Real Madrid have a chance to make that wish come true, but they will have to spend a lot of money on Mbappe if PSG are willing to sell him next season. Mbappe is a great striker, and he deserves the high price.

Do you really have to be that naive by not looking at self-esteem that has been rejected several times? I think the pride of Perez is still very big and actually with things like this it has become the real thing as if nobody deserves to be at Madrid more than Mbappe.
Indeed, in terms of the quality of today's young players, he is one of the best, but that does not mean that you have to sacrifice everything for this player like PSG did because indeed it will only damage the image of football again if there is a player who is more privileged than before.

Mbappe has rejected offers from Real Madrid several times. And has disappointed Madrid fans several times. Every season for the last few years we hear that Mbappe will join Madrid. But each time Mbappe renewed his contract with PSG. In this situation, Real Madrid does not seem to be interested in Mbappe yet.
Also if Mbappe joins Madrid he will want to establish his dominance over Madrid as he is doing at PSG. But the Madrid management is not willing to give any player that much power. Rumor has it that Galtier formed PSG's squad according to Mbappe's wishes. Also, Mbappe's selfish behavior will be difficult for Madrid's players to adapt to.

Sevilla have moved a little bit away from the relegation zone with the points they have gained in recent weeks. But it's not good enough for them. They have to get out of this pot and this is actually easy for them. They need to regain their old form and want to push for the top as soon as possible.
Valencia is also on a bad run, just like Seville. They also need to catch a winning streak and climb up the table as soon as possible. Otherwise it looks like they will be relegated too. The situation is not good.

It will be facing mallorca in upcoming match. Sevilla may lose easily against mallorca by seeing how good the performance of mallorca against real madrid. I doubt if sevilla will be winning against mallorca. I just learned from the match against madrid if mallorca was a team that can't be underrated.
Mallorca might make sevilla dive even deeper again into the relegation zone. Mallorca can steal full points easily from sevilla without any problem. It seems to me putting a choice in mallorca is far better.

Sevilla might have a very good head to head against malloca but it seems that mallorca is a bit different this time caused by it will be coming with strong squads.

So far their points are still quite threatened by the relegation zone position, because from 20 matches they have only been able to collect 21/20 points. In the previous season, Sevilla was a team that competed in the top five of the standings, in fact, they were a team that always made it difficult for Real Madrid and Barcelona. The coaches of both teams must carry out a massive evaluation and try to motivate the players, otherwise they will find it difficult to move up the mid-table rankings and Valencia's position is quite risky towards the relegation zone at the end of the season, because at the moment they are very inconsistent.

Mallorca is much better than Sevilla this season and I think this match will also make it difficult for Sevilla to get full points at home, because Mallorca just beat Real Madrid in the previous week, whereas Valencia had not won any of their former five clashes. Even though facing Athletic Bilbao at home, getting full points is very difficult in the current state of the game.

Mbappe has turned down Real Madrid's offers so far and is willing to extend his contract with PSG. This decision will obviously benefit PSG a lot because otherwise I think Real Madrid would definitely get Mbappe for free due to his expiring contract. On the one hand, PSG succeeded in seducing Mbappe to extend his contract so that anyone who wanted to sign him had to pay PSG a heavy price.

If Real Madrid really has pride, then they shouldn't be able to seduce Mbappe to refuse a contract extension and let it expire. Real Madrid will have to spend a lot of money on PSG if they want Mbappe, that's normal. I'm not really sure about your assumptions at this point because after all Real Madrid are still very interested in signing Mbappe until now.

Even though this has improved, I don't think this is enough for them.
The conditions are still the same because this is not their place even though now they have improved enough and are no longer in the relegation zone.
This week they will face Mallorca. Actually, it can still be for them in 3 points but seeing Mallorca's performance last week against Madrid and their previous heavy defeat, it is clear that this is still something that is a little complicated for them.

Sevilla is slowly getting out of the relegation zone. but the current position and points acquisition are still not safe for them.
facing Mallorca is of course not an easy match for Sevilla with their current strength.
however, Mallorca will have a better chance of winning the game. or maybe Sevilla's best possibility is a draw. and it will not be good if the difference in points is overtaken. they could just as well be back in the relegation zone.

For teams like Mallorca and Sevilla it's completely unpredictable but as the home team Sevilla clearly has an advantage
Indeed Mallorca managed to beat Madrid last week but I think it's just luck And there's no guarantee they'll do it again
Sevilla is trying to get the best game just look at their 5 wins, 3 of which were won this week.

Everyone keeps saying that Sevilla hasn't improved enough but at the same time this same Sevilla is no more in the relegation zone. Sevilla is far much better than Mallorca in their H2H analysis, but Mallorca has been too difficult for big teams this season. If I should recall their clash with Villareal, Celta Vigo, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and many more, I have cold fits that Sevilla will be more favored.

Sevilla and Valencia are very close in the standings while La Liga, which is ranked 16th and 17th with a number of points that are not much different. And if in the next few matches the two teams cannot win, then both of their positions will remain there and will continue to be overshadowed by the relegation zone. Because today the Cadiz team in 18th place will play at home against Girona, and if Cadiz is able to win by getting full points, of course Cadiz can get a temporary ranking increase.

So many blames gone to him before but xavi was slowly proving if building a good team will take the time. I remember when so many medio has been publishing him as the worst coach in barcelona. Being kicked from UCL has become a very bad achievement by xavi again. It can't be denied. Europa league is not as good as ucl. La liga and europa league have become the main target by xavi but it seems like that xavi is much more concentrating into the la liga rather than europa league.
There is also remaining trophy that can be winning by barcelona and it's copa del rey. Barcelona will be facing real madrid in copa del rey.

I think it was mainly because of the UCL thing, everyone expected them to beat Inter and they failed to do it, which caused a lot of trouble for him and there were a lot of people who was looking for him to be even fired. They improved drastically since that day and they have been much better and not only took the lead of the league, but also improved the amount of points they lead by as well.

This shows that they will be pretty good when the europa games starts as well, their only downfall is that they are going to play United, a great team of their own, so if they lose that shouldn't be a shock but at the same time he will be blamed for it anyway.

Rumors of Mbappe transfer to Real Madrid have always been hot news in almost every transfer market, various media have reported Madrid interest in Mbappe to be made a successor to Benzema, who is entering his old age as a footballer.
Mbappe is indeed a special player, it is difficult to find players who have the same qualities as him, especially at his young age. A club like Real Madrid has the ability to sign him, but if the player continues to refuse to join Real Madrid should be ashamed and immediately look for other alternatives.

however, Mallorca will have a better chance of winning the game. or maybe Sevilla's best possibility is a draw. and it will not be good if the difference in points is overtaken. they could just as well be back in the relegation zone.

They are only 3 points ahead of Getafe and 2 points from Cadiz who are in the relegation zone, so this is still very difficult for Sevilla.
Facing Mallorca in terms of statistics and match history they are still superior but that is in the past so indeed this is still not predictable for now especially with Mallorca's position which is now much better compared to Sevilla.
At the moment it is possible to play at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium to their advantage but it is still not enough to get 3 points easily.

Sevilla is trying to get the best game just look at their 5 wins, 3 of which were won this week.

The problem may not be from luck or not but when they have got 1 goal they will immediately carry out a defensive scheme that is difficult to penetrate. When facing Madrid, it can be an example of how strong their defense is by continuing to save almost all the players in the defense.
On the other hand, when looking at the current conditions, even if they can't score a goal, they will try to draw, which is still profitable for Mallorca, but not for Sevilla.

Their momentum was slightly damaged after losing to Barcelona even though they had positive energy when they managed to secure 6 points in the previous 2 matches but it was destroyed by the massacre from Barcelona.
But this is also a good lesson because they have to admit that even though they have changed for the better, their defense is still quite weak so there must be some more adjustments there.

[BALIK]

FC Barcelona is not at his best, financially speaking, and can't afford to get new players (even if it doesn't seem like they need it either). This can be a good opportunity for Real Madrid to catch up, although I'm not sure about who should they get among the players you mention. What is clear is that given their performance in La Liga, the worst option would be not to catch anyone.

you will see that next season, with the champions league it will be better
moreover, in my opinion, he has recovered very well many fans who, by selling him to play at his best, have decided to renew his season ticket
they are working fine, let them do it

Barcelona is obviously going to need a lot more time to fix the financial problems that they have. But the positive thing is the way Barcelona is performing right now, it is easy to say that they will be winning trophies frequently and also earning money in the process.

So, money will be incoming in the Barcelona club. But as we all know that the problem is not going to be fixed by winning one or two La Liga titles. It is going to need a lot more time and patience. Improvement is there for Barcelona, they just have to be consistent.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid should be comfortable against Elche at least. I'm aware that they have had weaknesses against smaller teams recently. But this can't go on like this very often for a team like Real Madrid. If they really want the La Liga title they will need to do much more than this. Otherwise it is too difficult for them to keep up with a consistent Barcelona.

Maybe Elche beat Villarreal but I don't think this means so much. It is all about having a proper game plan.

Real Madrid is a very strong team. All the players in the team are very skilled. However, the young players of the team are pushing themselves brilliantly, resulting in the potential of the team to achieve much better.

yes indeed Valencia is at the door of the relegation zone while the next match is against Bilbao who are currently occupying the comfort zone standings with the achievement of 29 points,
in contrast to Valencia, which until now has only been able to collect 20 points, they have to fight for victory to keep trying to stay away from the red zone which is increasingly haunting them.
But I don't think Bilbao is not an easy team to beat, considering that Valencia is currently in a bad state of play
