La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Rabi3]

Griezmann is so bad he can't even convert a penalty haha but anyway, I think this is the way to play the games!

Shitty news about Fati but once Fati is healed, get him in and let him and Griezmann try their best. And the bring Messi in to just conjure his magic for the last 45/50 minutes. Worked so well last night and I foresee Koeman trying this again and again to bring the best out of our main man without risk to injury to either!

Sevilla won but didn't convince anyone did they?

Griezmann  is a really good player, he's just having some bad time with Barcelona, he missed a lot in the first half from inside the box, but
every player go through bad times, it's just a matter of time and you'll be here talking about how good Griezmann is.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid would be the two of the three... So, who is going to be the third one?

I agree that Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid should have a high chance to be in the top 3. Their performance is quite good although not really good as expected. But they seem to collect more points gradually and potentially to overtake Real Sociedad and Villareal in the top positions. Especially Atletico Madrid, so far they are undefeated and will directly lead the table if they win the next match. Regarding which team will be in the third position, it is difficult to predict since Barcelona must try all out to get there. While we don't underestimate Real Sociedad and Villareal, they have played solidly till now and they can be a black horse to win the La Liga trophy, not only for the third position.

Damn bruh , valencia doing a crazy comeback right now against real madrid, there's 3 penalty given for valencia, it's a madness .. with this .. you guys never ever pessi or penaldo again lol.

So should we change the name of the Hattrick penalty Hero from Carlos Soler to "Penlos" Soler?  

Watching us take a lead then lose 4-1 to Valencia was terrifying. Our defense was in shambles. One of the biggest problems we have right now is Varane. He isn't that old, but he seems very nervous at the back every time the opponents applies pressure, and he ends up making silly error

Griezman is a good player seasons ago and his golden time is for A Madrid. He lost his best performance after his transfer to Barcelona and his confidence has gone too. The rising youth player Ansu Fati and the return of Dembele can put more pressure on Griezman.
This season Barcelona and Real Madrid are unstable in their forms and I am seeing they are fighting to be the worse team between them. They won and lost matches easily and they have not shown us that they can be able to maintain their stable forms.

A Madrid with the second season of Felix in La Liga can be the best candidate for the trophy race.

Looks like my wish came true after all;) All I wanted was for Barca to win and Real to drop points, didn't expect them to lose like that though! Shame I didn't pick Valencia to bet on, but with the display they've been showing us recently, I don't think anyone would bet on them. What a fluke of 4 goals though, hope that damages Real's confidence!

[kassex]

Real Madrid has very few good players that will prevent the team from performing well in tournaments. Zidane will have to sacrifice the cup and the Champions League to perform well in LaLiga, otherwise Real Madrid will fail in all cups.

for the punters who follow specifically historical head-to-head results and believe in those type of stats, Valencia to find a good result yesterday (draw or win) at those odds (5.00 and above) was a no brainer

Historially, Mestalla has been a tremendously tough pitch for RM, they've only won there like a few times in the last decade or so...Even Gary Neville's Valencia from 2016, an era that lasted like 3 months, was able to put up a good fight against us and the match finished 2-2 (highlights from that match here,, that 1st goal tho, pass from Benzema, back heel pass from Bale, no look pass from Cristiano, clinical finishing from Benz...good times!)

what a bad year for Madrid...
Madrid's performance in la Liga so far has been very disappointing, seeing from the match when Madrid vs Villarreal, I also think that Madrid will be difficult to win La Liga this season, especially the Champions League too.

[celot]

Real Madrid lost to Valencia with a score of 4-1, Valencia's three goals were scored from the white point after a Real Madrid player was hit by a hands ball. A very bad result for Real Madrid because their trend in la Liga is actually quite good by beating Barcelona in El Clasico last week.
In last night's match VAR really became a stumbling block for Real Madrid because of the three penalties that Valencia received after the referee saw the replay via VAR. Previously, Real Madrid always benefited from the existence of VAR but this time, Madrid got a very different result.
But Madrid are still at the top of the standings and the opportunity for Madrid to retain the title is still very wide open.

Yess please no more pessi or penaldo again  .

It seems both Barcelona and Real Madrid as the title contenders this season got a serious problem, they don't have a game changer like they used to back in the days where cristiano exist and the prime messi who scored 75 goals + 28 assist in a season.
Some says if real madrid bring mbappe to Santiago Bernabeu and Barcelona bring some real la masia talent in ( yeah they don't have enough money in this pandemic era so they just have to rely on their academy lol ) the heat between the two might be as excited as it used to.
But that's good to break the domination as we can see real sociedad and villareal on the top now lol

Real have just lost 4-1 against Valencia. What a bad performance, imo. But we can not expect anything else since he does not have many good players in his hand. Hope that the team will soon overcome this loss. Spirit is very important to Real at this moment

Zidane knows what to do in this circumstance. He has won many titles although he is quite young comparing to other football coach. You might have your point, sacrifice is necessary if he wants to achieve a title for this season

I hope that he can bring some new faces during the Winter transfering market. And he has to do something with Eden Hazard to. This guy has not performed well recently. I personally beliece that Eden can contribute more.

[CryptocurencyKing]

3 penalties in one game was just the hight of it. Not that it ended in the penalties but also, Real proceeded to conceiving an own goal. How sick can such a game be from the defense line. It was really aweful to watch and at the end, they tend to mitigate errors with quick plays but, Valencia wasn't ready to give them that chance and so, the game has to end in a loss for for Real Madrid. Valencia did quite a great job in coordinating there defence line and it sure paid off with a Real Madrid 0-4 Valencia win and it would go a long way in resetting the table. Barcelona fans must be really happy on this note.

[onecall123]

Valencia 4-1 Real Madrid
There's a saying that says If You live by the penalty, you shall die by the penalty so this outcome was not at all a shock. Madrid fans didn't expect but  It just happened that way everyday is not always a good day let's bounce back & work hard. Nevertheless Real Madrid is always ready to perform better.

Maybe it would be more accurate if at the moment there are some players who are injured (Dani Carvajal, Marco Odriozola, Nacho) and positif Covid-19 (Casemiro and Eden Hazard), their strength will decrease. I don't think Madrid will lose that much. The funny thing is, their defense awarded three penalties and an own goal for Valencia. I think they are also tired because their busy schedule their strategy is not working well. Benzema also suffered an injury during the match and had to leave the field.

[bounceback]

Every week La Liga always presents a surprise and this week Real Marid must fall in the hands of Valencia with a score of 4-1, even though many predict Real Madrid will win easily against Valencia. But in fact Madrid have to admit defeat to Valencia, in last night's match Madird had to concede 3 goals from the penalty spot, of course the record for most penalties in one game for Madrid this season, they had to receive three penalties for his opponent Valencia.

3 penalties and I didn't see too much noise (whining) about it at least from the staff comparing to other teams That defeat is traumatising and as Zidane said: even the lack of many players shouldn't be an excuse for losing this way...
Next game scheduled for Real Madrid is hard, they will face Villareal but also for Barca which will face ATM. ATM crucial match will make them more comfortable in La Liga if they will win against Barca but also if Real fails too. Real Sociedad seems stable and solid too. It will be hell weekend after 11 days from now!

Ansu Fati has successfully gone through knee surgery today and will miss next 4-5 months. That is a major blow for Barcelona to be without Fati for quite some months in the campaign. They already are wobbling a lot in LaLiga and this adds up more worries for Barcelona. (Source: https://www.goal.com/en-in/news/fati-five-months-out-barcelona-knee-surgery/eva223zf817m12vq4sz7e95bf)

He is the one of the players who have been playing good football in Barca. Will Barca struggle without Fati? well they have been doing eitherway with him earlier as well. Just adds up more problems for them...

4-5 months means somewhere between 18 and 25 games in La Liga and CL... ~He might be ready by this time for the next el classico! What a bad news for Koeman and Barca fans... Like the team isn't struggling enough with their weak defense and compensating it with scoring goals, now their top scorer is out

[sana54210]

I do not understand why people assumed everything was horrible for Barcelona this quickly anyway. They are 2 games behind opponents right now with just 1 game ahead compared to some and they are only few points behind. For example if they play the next 2 games and win, that is 6 points, they would become 17 points and that is 4th in the league above real Madrid, Madrid has 8 games so they would play 1 more game, which would mean either losing and being behind, tie and tie Barça, or win and be just 2 points ahead.

As you can see Barcelona was never really that bad, they weren't good obviously but they were never that bad. Madrid is not bad neither just because they lost one game, they are doing pretty decent as well. I believe it will be Madrid vs Barça at the end of the year once again.

[ShowOff]

Real have just lost 4-1 against Valencia.

Oh really ? I missed that game last night. But it really surprised me because 3 of Valencia's winning goal came from penalties and 1 own goal from Varane. I think Madrid was bad enough in that match because there were 4 time the referee gave a penalty to Valencia despite failing the first time and only 3 chances were successfully converted into goal. According to statistic, Valencia's game was more effective than Madrid and that led them to victory. Very nice.
