La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Sandra_hakeem]

When you compare Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid this season, there is a very huge gap between the two clubs. Real Madrid are in good shape and still winning silverwares even in the current season and Atletico Madrid are struggling and currently not even sure of winning any trophy this season so I think Real Madrid are the better club at the moment.

They don't even match the comparison at all.
There's never been a time that athletico Madrid has made such a turnover, talk more of a debut.. athletico was better off to compete with any team way back when the France gaol machine, Griezman was one of the forwards.
Madrid hasn't been a team to joke with right from inception; they've made these legacy and they're still strong to keep on. Karim benzema isn't even taking it likely with any club as he needs to foster his career too...maybe he'll be anticipating the ballon d'or? That's by the way... I'm sure that athletico isn't compatible to Madrid, not even a bit.

Elche lost their last match against Espanyol and it all ended in a 0:1 victory. I didn't see a better performance from elche and I wasn't expecting any good outcome from it. I was shocked when the game changer, Darder scored a goal, assisted by Nico... and this happened almost at the finish time.
On the other hand, Real betis scored 2 goals against Valladolid and that was an outstanding victory; so in my opinion, the odds are not are accurate and I think betis could still take the lead, since they've been on a fine form as of late.

Seriously, elche have been soo weak that I can't even say they have any average of winning today's match against Real bets because Real betis is doing so great currently.so i may say that Real betis will likely to come out with 3 points today.checking Elche standard on the table I found out their the last on the table with only one match won out of 22 matches had played. From my view I don't even think they can scape that relegation. I can see that Real batis is on number five on laliga table and I believe they will work hard to qualify for next champion league.

Xavi's future at Barcelona would be at risk if they fail in winning the La Liga title from now on indeed. I thought that the Europa League was also very important for them. In the end it was another monetary resource for them to make the financial status stronger. Of course they were prioritizing the La Liga title but still they could have done better than this there. At least they didn't get any embarrassing score by playing too badly. By the way Lewandowski was nearly missing the penalty as De Gea was so close to saving it.

It is like a curse for him against big teams this season.    But I hope he will be more productive in the Champions League in such matches next season.

Barcelona have tried their best in the Champions League and Europa League, but again they had to lose an important player when they expected to win a match. In the Champions League they had problems in defense due to player injuries so it was always difficult to defend their net without conceding a goal, while in the Europa League they also had to lose 3 important players which also affected their strength on the field. It's true that the conditions weren't as fortunate as one could hope for, but I think they deserve credit.

Now they can focus on La Liga and the Copa Del Rey, and they are still likely to secure both titles this season. Well, it all depends on them in maintaining their advantage, but based on the odds, they still have a very high chance of winning it.

this season barcelona is not too strong to be able to compete with other teams competing in the champions league or Europa League, defeats to Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in the ucl and in the Europa league by Manchester United. It's too hard for Xavi when several important players are absent in a match that determines their fate, like yesterday's match against Manchester United where Pedri and Gavi had to be absent.

one of the only remaining hopes is in laliga to be able to become a champion which must be fought as best as possible by barcelona players. apart from that there is one more opportunity, namely in the copa del rey that they can fight for.

Unfortunately bad luck happens, if it were to happen unfortunately it cannot be predicted
I hope for Barcelona, for their fans and for Xavi that it doesn't happen, but unfortunately football is unpredictable
it's like poker, you can have all the strategy in the world, if the cards don't come they don't come

When Barcelona are drawn to meet big teams in two different competitions at the European level, I think this is a tough season for them to go through.
Of course this assumption is correct because Barcelona has not been completely stable, especially regarding their squad this season. They had a lot of financial problems, while previously they had to struggle with a storm of injuries, but Xavi can make the difference even though they also failed in the end.

I'm not happy about Barcelona's defeat, but I think they did their best to close whatever gaps they lacked in that match. Manchester United are much better prepared at home than Barcelona even though Barcelona came with good optimism and confidence. But you also can't forget that the Copa Del Rey is another domestic competition that Barcelona can also compete for besides La Liga.

You're right, I noticed that too. Winning a game against a team like Manchester United is not as easy as moving eggs from the basket.

Barcelona have lost their next "big" match this season and can now focus entirely on La Liga. I look forward to the Barcelona-Real game with great interest. If Barcelona can't win it, then it would be ironic to become champions by farming underdogs while failing every other important game of the season. But that's the point of round robin tournaments (especially when the competition in the league is not very even).

In league, you can win it by beating weak teams and have as most total points as possible against your competitors. In cups, you will have to beat your opponents directly to go next, move far and lift a trophy. That is more challenging than winning domestic league.

Xavi and Barcelona lost one of their biggest matches in this season and also one of their biggest targets in this season too. They played not too bad but Manchester United played better and their players converted chances to goals better.

In fact, I love round robin tournaments and consider them more objective to identify the strongest, but when the whole league is far behind two or three tops, such paradoxes happen - a relatively weaker team becomes the champion (sounds like nonsense but it is, especially in the case of a competition between three teams).
By the way, against the background of the fact that practically the officials of Bavaria and PSG are already openly saying that their priority is European competition, I can conclude that the importance of the national championships is gradually falling.

I don't know if we can call this as luck. But Elche scored two shocking goals in the 7th and 9th minutes and they are still leading by 2-0 against Betis.

It seems like Betis are likely to waste their chance to catch up with Atletico Madrid this week. I was expecting a clear win by Betis in this game. In the end, Elche were the worst team in the league on paper. But things aren't going on as calculated now. There is a little time left for the end of the first half. It is still not impossible for Betis to turn the game around and win actually. A goal they score before the end of the half would be a big motivation for that. Betis can't get a place for themselves in top 4 at the end of the season if they lose points in such games.

[kawetsriyanto]

I agree, real Madrid players seems completely focusing in the UCL after loosing the hop of la liga title, this may make their preformence in la Liga matches completely defferent for UCL and that's why they may fail to win against atleteco team who wants to improve their standings in la liga

Why do you think Real Madrid players only focus on UCL?
I am very sure that they still focus on La Liga matches, too. There are many remaining matches, they still have the chance to chase Barcelona in the 1st place. In theory, Real Madrid isn't impossible to return to the top position. However, it will be a difficult challenge for Real Madrid, and they expect a decrease in Barcelona performance at the end of the season. Also, Real Madrid needs to beat Barcelona in the next El Classico, too. It may give a bad impact on the mentality of Barcelona players.

Regarding the match against Atletico Madrid, I have no doubt that Real Madrid will get full points. The reason is clear, Real Madrid will play at home and they have a better squad.

[Queentoshi]

I don't know if we can call this as luck. But Elche scored two shocking goals in the 7th and 9th minutes and they are still leading by 2-0 against Betis.

That is football for you, anything can happen, Elche have not been playing well, Real Betis has been the favourite to win this game but right now things are not going there way at the moment, I think Elche will try everything possible to defend this goal till the final minute, because they are already leading with 2 goals advantage. Real Betis where unlucky today by allowing Elche to score two early goals. And with the way Elche are defending is going to be really hard for Real Betis to equalise the goals

[BitcoinAccepted]

Barcelona, as is known, has a cartload of points ahead, but it is also important that Barcelona has been eliminated in European competitions. This means that they can focus 100% on the national competition, while competitor Real Madrid is still active in the CL and, due to the 2-5 victory at Liverpool, is 99% certain to advance to the next round. So Barcelona has a double advantage in that respect. I think the players of Real Madrid have already given up the title in the back of their mind, 8 points behind is really a lot against this Barcelona.

[Ratash]

I didn't expect elche team to score two goals in the first ten minutes of the game against betis, betis team was superior in the first half after conceiding the goals they had many chances and couldn't score now that elche has a red card things might change, there is still half an hour in the game i think  betis might be able to equalize if they manage to score quickly.

One thing to note about Elche tonight is that they made proper use of their opportunities in the early minutes of the game to convert two goals, the bookmarker predicted Real Betis to win because they have been performing well in the League not like Elche who are struggling in the bottom of the table with a clear move of going back to relegation so I think Elche is ready to fight back now to make sure they get out of the relegation zone and they have started with this game hope they do better in their next matches.

There is no doubt about Real Madrid in the match against Atletico Madrid because Real Madrid has a good trend in Derby matches. moreover, Real Madrid will go down with a complete squad in this match, of course it will be a positive side for them to get 3 points. benzema is fit enough he returned to present 2 goals against Liverpool. Indeed, one of the weak sides of Real Madrid this season is the lack of consistency in the Laliga this season, even in the previous few matches they lost points when they faced Mallorca and Villarreal.

But this week I think Real madrid will continue the positive trend and stay focused on their target of closing the gap on the leaders.

I think the big win against Liverpool will give them nice feelings before this match. Real Madrid used to play well when there's pressure on them. Liverpool, Atletico, and Barcelona in 8 days might look difficult, but they previously showed strong attitude in similar situations. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid need to change their playing style that is completely exposed to other teams.

But there is a surprise in this match, Elche two red cards will have a bad impact in the remaining minutes of this match. I don't know what happened because I honestly didn't see it, it looks like Real Betis can make this match at least to a draw or win because now the score has changed to 2-2. Unfortunately Elche good effort in the first half, didn't hold up very well in second half.

It's a certainty because somehow when 11 v 9 it's clear it's going to be very difficult for them.
Even though in this match they were very good in the first half, it's just that their scheme in carrying out a rough defense and lack of discipline made them have to fail to win 3 points.
But on the other hand it's also a bit worse for Betis actually when they have the man advantage but only draws.

Elche really wasts the opportunity to get 3 points 2 goals scored in the first half should be enough to make them play more relaxed unfortunately the red card disrupts all their efforts until Real Betis managed to equalize the score. It seems that there is no hope for Elche to get out of the relegation zone from a total of 23 matches only able to collect 10 points obviously it is a bad record and cannot compete in LaLiga.

Edit: Real Betis take advantage of the opportunity very well, they scored the 3rd goal in the last minutes lol onstead of getting 1 point Elche even lost points 

[Velvet78]

The red card Elche were shown changed the direction of the game going really significantly. Betis took the opportunity ahead of them and there is still a 2-2 tie now. There is still time for a comeback as well actually. Betis need to attack with all they have got in the remaining time period. They might be able to close the point gap with Atletico Madrid a little more depending on the result of the Madrid derby.

This season is quite similar to the previous one for Betis and Atletico Madrid. These teams are again fighting for a spot in the Champions League. Let's see what will happen this time.

Too bad Elche had to lose several players due to red cards even though they had won 2-0 before. And in the end they had to be beaten and the position was 2-2. real bets can really take advantage of the opportunity after Elche players get red cards. This is really very high luck for real Betis who previously trailed 2-0 to Elche. Even though Elche was able to start the match very well, in the end they have to be like this even though the match is still going on, it will be very difficult for them to be leading again

On the other hand, statistics and H2H when facing Atletico can also be a more morale booster for them.
Atlético is still in good condition so far but indeed when facing Madrid with confidence and players who are fit it will obviously be very difficult especially playing at the Bernabeu.
The conditions will still be the same with Madrid coming out victorious, it's just that maybe this could be a narrow victory for them because regardless of what a result like this is likely to happen.
