La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[keyscore44]

To my surprise, Atletico Madrid actually had a good match. I want to say I believe they could actually win the match if it was not for the stupid red card that Correa picked up in the 64th minute of the match. Atletico Madrid did very well to break the deadlock even after being one man down. It was actually great to see both teams scoring from set pieces and also with headers. But that also rises the question that both teams probably are not being able to defend corners and set pieces properly. Actually not being able to defend is understandable at that point of the match because they are already one man down.  Overall I think that Athletico Madrid had a good game.

Both teams played very well and Atletico Madrid surprised me with the good performance they showed because I was expecting to see Real Madrid winning the game because of their situation in the league and try to decrease the points they need for first position in the league but they got a draw and lost two points in this match while today and after just a few hours we have Barcelona and Almeria which can't be a hard match for Xavi and his players and if they successfully beat Almeria they can 62 points and take some more space with Real Madrid.

I never thought that Atletico Madrid would perform so well against Real Madrid. I thought Real Madrid would beat Atletico Madrid in a big way. But the performance of Atletico Madrid with 10 players is truly commendable.

The result was really unpleasant even though we did our best to win. To be honest I'm really disappointed because of this draw that we should have won, but I don't think this is the end of our struggles this season in La Liga. Real Madrid must remain optimistic about the good possibilities we can achieve for the rest of the season, and this is only so important that every player can keep his confidence in every match.

Mean while it is very unrealistic to expect Barcelona to lose and miss their good chance to win the title, I admit they have been better this season and they will do their best to keep their lead. Of course it's bad that we will be faced with 10 point gap in the standings, but that is only possibility should Barcelona win at the Municipal Stadium Mediterráneo.

[keyscore44]

Real Madrid are increasingly trailing Barcelona in the La Liga title race this season, the draw against Atletico Madrid made Barcelona even more comfortable in 1st place in the standings with difference of 7 points. Have potential for Barcelona make 10 points left if win up coming next match against Almeria will play several hours later.

You are right, Real Madrid's situation will be even more difficult if Barcelona win today's match. But it's not impossible, Almeria could have stopped Barcelona by holding it to draw and helped Real Madrid stay 8 points clear, but that's just the hope that Real Madrid and its fans have. It's kinda ridiculous, but it's a fact.

Real Madrid waste another opportunities how keep compete points with Barcelona on standing position, impressive performance on Champion League not impact in La Liga after held draw by Atletico Madrid and need return to consistent performance if won't to see Barcelona early win La Liga trophy in this season.

Not wasting it, but they just couldn't win the match because Atletico Madrid was strong enough to defend even though they only played with 10 players. Even Real Madrid could have lost if the only goal Alvaro scored had never happened.

Real Madrid have great chances in La Liga despite their draw with Atletico Madrid. It would never be right to think that a draw with Atletico Madrid has cost Real Madrid any chance of doing well in La Liga. Rather, the team will play the next matches more cautiously.

Barcelona is now in a situation where it is possible to win La Liga again this season. With the existing difference in points, it is very difficult for Real Madrid to catch up with Barcelona. The reason is that with the high level of competition and the good performance shown by Barcelona it is very difficult to expect them to slip in at least 3 matches. They had realized their potential to become champions this season, so they were unlikely to miss the chance that was coming their way now. Xavi Hernandez will definitely try his best to return the trophy that has been missing from Camp Nou in recent seasons.

[Zackgeno96]

Almeria - Barcelona 0-0 after 20 minutes, but that will of course not be the final score in this match. There will still be some goals, but not a whole lot. Barcelona has trouble scoring many goals and wins all matches with small numbers. Enough to become champion. A double blow for Barcelona if they win today, as Real Madrid already lost points against Atletico Madrid earlier in the week, which they almost lost to. Real probably gave up the title in mind. Too big backlog. Girona's away win against Athletic Bilbao was also great: 2-3

Achieving full points against relatively weaker teams is crucial if they want to win the La Liga trophy. In today's match against Almeria, my guess is that Barcelona will dominate the match. And they won't face any problems to win. But I don't see that. Barcelona is now 1-0 down. Almeria had one shot and managed to score one goal. It is very important for Barcelona to get 3 points in today's match. Hope Barcelona will win the match.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona must win today's match against Almeria even if they are already 1 goal behind Almeria's counterattack. So far Almeria has been playing well enough to cause a bit of trouble for Barcelona's defense, but I think things will change once Barcelona find their rhythm. I hope 1-3 is a good result for Barcelona to win, but let's see.

I hope 1-3 is a good result for Barcelona to win, but let's see.

There is still plenty of time for Barcelona to score 1 goal and equalize the score before they score another goal to turn things around. I was surprised by Almeria to be honest, because so far they have been able to keep up with Barcelona's game and implement a very good defense. But they still have to do that for a long time, because Barcelona will not release them from pressure.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Barcelona was not vulnerable at all at the back of this season. But it often turned out well. I am not surprised that she is now lagging behind, which will probably also be the rest position. Still plenty of opportunity to put things in order in the 2nd half, but a draw wouldn't be a disaster for the title either. Still, being Barcelona, you want to win at Almeria. Could it perhaps have something to do with the elimination in the EL against United this week? That can mentally reverberate for a while, things like that. The difference between Real Madrid and the number 2 is also big by the way. Villareal is having a disappointing season, they are not even qualifying for the EL at the moment.

[Sirait]

Almeria will face a team that is currently at the top of the standings, Barcelona. This is a big opportunity that came to Barcelona after Real Madrid could only draw with Atletico Madrid. If they can win this match then Barcelona will stay away from the pursuit of Real madrid. And with the opponents they will face at this time, they should have no trouble getting full points.

in the first round, almeria seemed very lucky, toure managed to score a goal against barcelona through a perfect assist from suarez, the "ball position" owned by Barcelona reached 70%. I'm curious what the problem is with Barcelona's dpena line, why are they still not able to make a big threat against Almeria's goal, they should be with the best squad that Barcelona has, they should be able to put a lot of pressure on Almeria's defense.

[zuzie]

Almeria managed to take the lead in today's match through El Bilal Toure's goal in the 24th minute, this was far from what was expected. Until the match entered the first half break, Almeria was still winning 1-0
I don't expect Barcelona to get a similar result to Real Madrid this week, they have to work hard in the second half to make sure to back with +3 points today

[judas]

The first half was quite interesting indeed. Almeria somehow finished it up by 1-0 ahead despite Barcelona's dominance. I mean Barcelona are playing their usual game with a high percentage of ball possession. But their main problems is with not being able to find the target. There are 4 shots and none of them is on target currently. While they have Lewandowski on the field this shouldn't happen actually. But I believe Xavi will warn the players about this and they will be back stronger in the second half.

I expect a goal contribution by Lewandowski surely. He is their biggest card like he is in every single match. They have a big chance ahead to increase the point gap with Real Madrid to 10. They should take it.

[LUCKMCFLY]

That seems to be another expensive loss of points for Real Madrid in its home game against Atletico Madrid. Atletico are ahead with a few minutes to play. Who knows what is still possible for Atletico. Championship is in if Baracelona also wins this weekend. Then the lead is 11 points, then you can see how fast things have gone after the winter break. They stand for a cartload of points. And good for Atletico's confidence to win at city rivals Real. Real Madrid were in pretty good shape, so this defeat will feel totally unexpected.

Honestly, after seeing the Real Madrid versus Liverpool game and how Real Madrid made a incredible comeback and scored 5 goals I expected Madrid to score a lot of goals against Atletico Madrid but the result was disappointing. Real Madrid were sloppy and conceded a goal to fall behind but luckily were able to secure one back to finish the game in a draw. Now Barcelona have another opportunity to increase their lead tomorrow.

Well, I think that Ancelotti is playing it here, he is betting that he can bring the "orejona", he knows that if he brings that cup it will be erased that he lost the League, a trophy like that is much more important for Real Madrid than the The league itself, the league is difficult to take away from Barcelona, but it's not impossible, also as you say, when he played with Liverpool he came from behind 5 goals, and although each game is different and cannot be compared, I think Ancelotti is not leaving to risk their players getting injured in the League. The next game against Liverpool anything could happen, any result can happen.


Xabi Alonso and Juventus give Liverpool hope as Jürgen Klopp has Real Madrid template

As Liverpool suffered what feels like an insurmountable defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday night, it feels like Jürgen Klopp's dream of helping the Reds return back to Istanbul 18 years on from one indelible night in Champions League history is all but over.

Carlo Ancelotti, who just seems to get the better of Klopp every single time, will remember that game well. It feels like the rest of his career, ever since suffering that defeat at the hands of Liverpool, has been designed to thwart the Reds as much as possible.

From the subsequent 2006/07 final in Athens to Paris last season and even getting big results against Liverpool with Real Madrid, Napoli and Everton as well, Ancelotti has been a common foe.

Despite Barcelona being in such good form, they are one goal behind in the match so far. It will be really bad for the team if they lose this match today. Barcelona's opposition will now play the highest defensive, while Barca will have to do something great in attack.

[hahay]

Wow, Almeria leads with a score of 1-0 from the 24th minute, previously Almeria was in the relegation zone but if Almeria can maintain this advantage then of course Almeria can get out of the relegation zone for a while. But what is really surprising is that the opponent Almeria is facing is Barcelona, which basically Barcelona this season in La Liga has had a very extraordinary performance.

In fact, Barcelona at this moment will only focus on La Liga because Barcelona has been eliminated from the Europa League. But with no more pressure as before, Barcelona actually got a bad result in this away match against Almeria. It's true that the match isn't over yet, but I don't think Barcelona need a long time just to reply to goals or score goals against Almeria.

It is really strange that Barcelona is playing this bad against a team who just last week conceded 6 goals against Girona,this time though Almeria is only defending well and the players of Barcelona looks like are frustrated as so far they have not created any real opportunity for goal as I am watching the game live.I placed a bet on them right now to win the game at odd 3 but it is just for fun because judging by their way of playing is going to be a lost game for them and at the best maybe is going to be a draw during this game,victory for Barcelona right now looks so far away.

Almeria is currently too strong in defense, Barcelona players find it difficult to get many opportunities in this match. Previously Barcelona failed to qualify for the 16 finals in the Europa league, I'm afraid that has made the confidence of the Barcelona players decrease, so that they are inconsistent again in getting three points. But I hope you're right Barcelona no need a long time to scored, because this match is about to end.

That is the weirdest thing ever,they conceded 9 goals in their last 2 games and they are the second worse defense of La Liga after Elche which is the team that conceded the most goals.Barcelona not playing like they usually do and trying to play with long cross in the Almeria defense which is not working,it is very strange seeing a Barcelona not scoring goals when they only have done so in the beginning of the La Liga against Rayo Vallecano,then they scored in 21 consecutive games and now they are not scoring against one of the worse defenses of La Liga,something is clearly wrong here.

[Zackgeno96]

Another small result today for Barcelona, but this time a loss. That will feel sour. Think it has to do with the elimination in the EL, in which United were too good. Barcelona still the top favorite to become champion. 7 points ahead of Real Madrid may still be a lot. But it could also have turned out very differently if Real had not equalized very late yesterday and Barcelona had won this. Then you would have had a lead of 11 points. But that doesn't count. Barcelona must quickly forget this and simply win next week. Everbody can lose a game.

It sounds quite strange, because you get the feeling that Barcelona is incredibly dependent on Lewandowski. They can play without him, the result won't change. He was on the field today and what changed? They still couldn't score, what's the problem then? I think they were not built for this game at all, that's all.
