La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[alpamar99]

In week 22, Real Sociedad only drew against a team that is in the middle of the La Liga standings and that is Celta Vigo, while based on head to head at least Real Sociedad has good dominance when playing against Celta Vigo.
But unfortunately, at this moment Real Sociedad were basically on top form but failed to beat Celta Vigo. Obviously that is a bad result I think, because on paper Real Sociedad can get a convincing victory in that match.

I also don't believe that Real Sociedad can only get a draw against Celta Vigo. But I actually wanted to bet on Real Sociedad's victory, but for some reason I felt really bad before the match started in less than an hour, I finally didn't make a bet for this match and it was proven true that my feeling was not wrong, even though Real Sociedad was able to score a goal quickly in minute 5 but they couldn't add to the number of goals again in the second half and instead Celta Vigo managed to equalize until the last minute.

It happened and can't be helped now because it's a fact that with an early lead and with a man count means nothing to them after an own goal and equalizer that occurred in the minute of extra time really cost them 3 points.

Now they just have to focus on facing Valencia because that is the most correct thing in my opinion rather than having to drag on with this result.

This time Sevilla are going to play against Osasuna home. This is another challenging match for Sevilla considering the situation in the standings.

Osasuna have more points than Sevilla now. But they are in a much worse form than Sevilla at the same time. Lastly they lost to Real Madrid you know. But they didn't show a bad performance there either. Sevilla need to be more careful as their defending is much worse than Osasuna's this season. Osasuna conceded 9 less goals than them. Besides Sevilla have a Europa League match as well tomorrow. Maybe they can improve their morale more by eliminating PSV but the match versus Osasuna is only three days later. We will see how tired Sevilla will be.

Both teams are in the same situation and both teams are not doing good so far they are in 12 and 10 of the league while Osasuna had a hard game against Real Madrid and they lost the game with a 2-0 result and Sevilla could get on point from the last game the had and during the last five games these two teams had each team got two wins and they had one draw, which makes the match hard for predict for anyone.

Things are quite problematic for Real Madrid in the La Liga right now. The 8-point difference is quite big to close up against a very consistent Barcelona I mean.

Real Madrid just don't have any other choice than continuing to win as many games as possible for a long time as of now. Because Barcelona literally don't lose any points here. They still win even the games in which they have big difficulties in showing their usual performance. The game against Villarreal was a great example for this surely. Real Madrid are handling the Champions League incredibly on one hand indeed. But I believe their main concentration should be on the La Liga still - at least unless the point difference gets bigger than this.

I don't think, Barcelona will allow anything that will make them to drop down from first position in the la Liga league competition table than to do what will make them to remain in unity to maintain the position till the end of the tournament. Despite, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 2-5 in the champion league doesn't mean they can win la Liga league title because this season is about to work for the favour of Barcelona in a way people will be surprise in their celebration soon. Real Madrid can struggle to win other titles but it will be difficult for them to win the la Liga league title because Barcelona will never allow such miracle to happen to Real Madrid.

@Sebas.tian the only way Real Madrid can win the league title now is if La Liga deducts Barcelona points, as there were rumours of Barcelona being investigated once again. Furthermore I too don’t expect Barcelona to drop their lead, but Real Madrid should definitely keep on trying and hope that Barcelona drop some points soon.

[rahmad2nd]

Real Madrid should get an easy victory because they are playing at the place where they usually practice, Real Madrid must keep trying to catch up on the points behind Barcelona and win first place in La Liga, Benzema must continue to contribute to the match so that it is easy to win.

I don't think it will be an easy match for Real Madrid. Atletico performed well lately, they will try to steal points from Real Madrid. Although the match will be held in Santiago Bernabeu, I assume it will be a tight match. Atletico Madrid is in UCL zone now, I am pretty sure they will try all out to maintain their position in the top 4. However, I agree that Real Madrid is still the favorite team to win the match. Especially after they defeated Liverpool with big scores yesterday. Real Madrid also must have the motivation to chase Barcelona in the 1st place.

I think otherwise. because, Atletico Madrid need full points to maintain their ranking in the top four zone of La Liga. Ateletico will target full points, and appear all out to subvert Madrid. but, it seems that this match will be a tough test for Atletico Madrid. the reason is, Diego Simeone's squad fell in the first meeting with a score of 1-2. in this match, Atletico must prove that they are able to provide fierce resistance to their city rivals. so, we will be presented with a match with a hot atmosphere. because after all, this game is the Madrid derby.

On the other hand, Real Madrid as the home team will not allow Atletico to dictate the course of the game. because, Madrid also needs full points to minimize the difference in points from the top standings. well, so we agree that El Real has a big chance to overthrow Atletico Madrid in this fight.

I've honestly never been worried about how Real Madrid won their Champions League game against Liverpool. That is a good thing for them, and Barcelona should not be affected by it.

Barcelona just needs to maintain their best form after winning 8 points over Real Madrid until week 22. This advantage and good record must be maintained, but I don't expect them to underestimate whatever opportunities Madrid have for the rest of the season. Today Barcelona has a more important match, it is a decisive match about who will qualify for the next round of the Europa League this season.

Xavi looking for 'passion' against Manchester United

Barça coach Xavi Hernández appeared confident and expectant in his appearance before the press ahead of Thursday's Europa League second leg play off against Manchester United.

"We want to take the initiative with the ball, above all in our opponents half," explained the former Barça player. The blaugrana coach also outlined the need for "attitude, passion and intensity" in the absence of midfielders Pedri and Gavi. "They are two important absentees but we have alternatives to deal with that," said Xavi.

You never know on beforehand how a "derbi" match will unfold. There is a lot of passion and vanity in such games, not only the logical arguments about the need of points or the gaps to broaden/overcome respect to other teams in the standings.

It will be a beautiful strife to watch on Saturday. The opposite of what will happen on Sunday between Barça and Almería, I guess

Against Valencia, I think Real Sociedad will have another difficulty like against Celta Vigo. Indeed, Valencia also suffered a defeat in the previous match against Getafe. But I think this time Real Sociedad will secure all 3 points and this is Valencia's misfortune in this match.

For a while I thought that Real Sociedad could be the team that surprises us all, but in the end it is the same two teams dominating La Liga. The gap between Barcelona, Madrid and then the rest is just too big. In order for La Liga to stay exciting until the very last moment it usually needs a strong Atletico Madrid. It is still fun to follow the league and see how Barcelona is doing against Real Madrid, but that becomes boring as soon as one of those two teams falters, which is now the case.

On the one hand I am happy for Barcelona to play a solid season, but on the other hand I would prefer to see Real Madrid get closer one more time for the sake of having more fun observing the battle.

It was really fun when they were quite close, but now that Barcelona has widen its pace I don't think there is still Much thing to talk about cuz at it stands,  Barca is already at the avenue of Escape. It won't be easy to loose up to 4 matches in a row,  and even if that is possible, real Madrid will not meet up. I quest it will be wise if Madrid focus on the EUFA champion league. as for La liga, the champion has already been known.

[Bobrox]

Sevilla have been much better in the recent times. Maybe they are still struggling against the biggest teams of the league. But they are at least able to perform better in the remaining ones and they are finally getting wins as well. They need to keep this going to finish the season at a safe position in the standings too. The Europa League win should also be some help.

Osasuna are a good team but Sevilla should be able to benefit from the home advantage in this game. I think they will win this game by one goal.

Not seems good progress with Sevilla in this season because underperformance and keep inconsistency, one match won and next match have loss three points in domestic league until 12th current standing position right now. Sevilla this season have eliminated in Champion League, Copa del Rey and their potential finish on top fourth La Liga standing position.

But have good performance in  Europe League after winning first Playoff round leg against PSV and three goals winning make Sevilla confidence facing second leg few weeks later. I think playing on European competition trough domestic league position standing seems difficult except Sevilla get Europe League tittle in this season.

it's not a good moment for Real Madrid
must chase in La Liga, the players are tired from all the commitments, including the world cup
it's not easy like this, I hope they hold on and that they can still give their best
I give them favorites in this match but I am right, Real Madrid's victory is not obvious

It won't be easy for Real Madrid to be able to beat Atletico Madrid this week in a derby match. These two clubs will definitely want to achieve a result that will make them satisfied with the 3 points they want. Atletico Madrid is also in good shape now, they are very likely to humiliate Real Madrid at home. The odds now lay in favor of Real Madrid, they will also be playing this game at their own turf. From their last match in the Champions League, they have been very good and even they could win the game with a landslide score, despite the poor performance of their opponents in the Champions League.

Atletico and Madrid both of teams are really needed points especially Madrid that they should be managed their gap points with Barcelona for race title and won every matches should be mandatory results for Madrid to pursuit Barcelona but because this is derby match and this could be so interesting but Atletico has a slight advantage because they didn't playing to other competitions which mean Atletico players will be more ready and from fitness conditions too Atletico is more good

Madrid probably will going to win the match because from meetings statistics records they are more good than Atletico especially at Santiago Bernabeu that Atletico always be in trouble while playing at there but because Madrid had tight schedules so i assume Ancelotti will do some rotations for Madrid squad because he should be ensure all of players in the good conditions

Real sociedad has a very bad record when it was facing valencia. Real sociedad was very often to get drawn against valencia. It can be seen from how bad head to head between sociedad against valencia. I meant we must take a look at the fact about how sociedad was also feeling so difficult to beat valencia in any season. Although that valencia was playing so bad during this season but it seems like that sociedad will be finding same difficulties like when sociedad against celta vigo.

This is a very difficult thing for sociedad. Sociedad shall secure full points against valencia.

But in this match Celta Vigo and Real Socieded played evenly in my opinion and this was really surprising, Real Socieded played at home but the game they showed was no different from the game Celta Vigo gave in that match, yes, even if you are right if on paper Real socieded should win in this match, maybe they underestimate Celta too much because they are below the relegation-prone zone in the standings. but after I saw the data for the match, Celta Vigo dominated threats with 18 shots even though they controlled 44% of the total ball control.

[AverageGlabella]

I have not watched many Spanish games this season but I am surprised by the point difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid. I watched Real Madrid highlights against Liverpool a couple of days ago and they made Liverpool look like a team that does not deserve to be in the Champions League but they are so far behind Real Madrid in the La Liga. I do not understand how can they be favorites to win the Champions League according to many fans and gambling sites but struggling in the La Liga against a Barcelona team that have aging players and have lost a lot of their best players?

The draw that Celta Vigo got was actually very difficult for them to do. They were down to 10 men in the 75th minute after a player received a red card and had to take a quick shower. But with the advantage of players, Real Sociedad was unable to take advantage of that, even Celta Vigo was able to equalize in the final minutes of the game. This shows that the strategy they applied did not work perfectly in this match.

[Pulsar77]

I don't think Atletico Madrid can perform at the same level with Real Madrid at the moment. Maybe they did before in a home match but they still lost that match as well. I can't even imagine what more can happen in Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid have boosted their morale incredibly much now. Because I assume even they weren't expecting to defeat Liverpool with such score. To be able to stay in the title competition Real Madrid have no other choices than to continue winning.

Atletico Madrid haven't lost a league match for weeks but this looks like the end of the series. I expect a Real Madrid win by at least a two-goal gap.

They players are tired from all the commitments? At what point or in which minute of the game against Liverpool did you think that they players are tired? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you might have felt it when the keeper made that awful mistake. But apart from that mistake and despite the fireworks during the night at Real Madrids hotel, the whole squad seemed as fit as they have never been before. They destroyed Liverpool literally, they tore them apart as if Liverpool was playing with two red cards.

The match between these two teams will be very hot as usual, because it's not just an ordinary match but in it there is also a battle of prestige between them. Now Atletico Madrid looks better, but Real Madrid also got a huge injection after they beat Liverpool by a landslide at Anfield. I think that in this game Real Madrid will be able to play the game they usually play, and I agree that they will be able to win this game to give Atletico Madrid a bitter pill.

Agree. Although Valencia will play home match, their home match statistics are also not very good this season, which is an advantage for Real Sociedad. After all, if we look at the overall statistics of the two teams, the two clearly have quite a difference
At least I see that Valencia has no advantage to beat Real Sociedad, so I will bet on Real Sociedad next week.
