La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Velvet78]

Barcelona got a very unexpected result indeed. Their shots were too weak that gave Almeria a chance to steal at least one point from them. And they even won the game somehow. I wonder what the reason behind this loss was. I don't think the loss in the Europa League made an impact. Because they play different in these tournaments. Maybe it was due to being a little complacent because of the big gap with Real Madrid in the standings.

By the way Sevilla were also bad today. They equalized the score two times but still lost by 2-3. Actually they had many more goal attempts but Osasuna were just better at using them.

I don't believe Barcelona's position at the top of the laliga table is the result of luck; rather, I believe it is a result of their diligence. I know Barcelona has beaten many formidable opponents this season. Almeria losses don't necessarily spell the end of the season. If not for some recent injuries to their key players, Barcelona has been a strong team in the La Liga. Let wait and see how the next game will be.

Me either, because even the best teams can lose and this is how football works, fans usually expect to see they are always winning, and especially when a team like Bacelona in this situation loses a match this can shocking for everyone while they are still on the top of the table and 7 points ahead of Real Madrid while Real Madrid also could win the last match and they lost 2 points, so still everything is safe for Bacelona.

It does not necessarily count that way. We already know that Barcelona has been very good, especially in the Spanish La Liga. Because in the Champions League, they performed very bad and same performance was extended to Europa where Manchester United eliminated them.

As Real Madrid failed to win Atletico Madrid everyone expected Barcelona to use the opportunity to secure the La Liga, but they failed.

[wmaurik]

today's match was the worst barcelona performance I have ever seen during xavi's coaching

Almeria used a defensive strategy when they were 1 goal ahead of Barcelona and it proved effective, even though there were 13 shots from Barcelona that were taken but only 1 shot on target was created, while Stegen had to save the Barcelona goal 4 times (but 1 failed and becoming a goal)

I was very surprised to see the results of Barcelona's match today, because before the match started I thought that Barcelona would win today's match. But the results weren't what I thought, and what surprised me was that Barcelona couldn't score a single goal in today's game even though they had more possession of the ball than Almeria. And Almeria was certainly very happy today after El Bilal Toure was able to score one goal in the first half through a fine pass provided by Luis Suarez.

That's really strange to see that how real madrid was not able to win against atletico madrid while it can win easily against liverpool. It seems like that english team didn't familar with the playstyle of real madrid. This is why atletico madrid was able to forcing the match to be drawn. I think that if we are seeing the result from the match carefully and real madrid was always dominating the match since when it already started.

~snip~

It seems that Atletico has succeeded in making Madrid even more difficult for the La Liga Champions this season. The draw cost Madrid two points again. The match happened also as predicted, many fouls occurred. With ten players, Atletico managed to get ahead of the free kick pass. It was disappointing, even though Madrid had the upper hand in numbers of players they could not add goals. Atletico played deeper defensively, that seemed to make it even more difficult for Madrid to develop adding goals.

Sevilla suffered a painful home defeat ago against Osasuna, a team that they normally should from, especially in their own stadium. But this season it is all rough at Sevilla. At the bottom, Elche fights for every point, but the counter is only at 9 points while 23 games have already been played. 17 Goals for is not good but not very bad either, but it is about the number of goals that is now no less than 48, by far the most number of goals against all teams that are active in the competition.

But at least with the condition that Barcelona failed to win these 3 points, there is a little breath for Madrid now.
The current condition is that Madrid still has a chance by continuing to hope that Barcelona will continue to play badly but of course they also have to win 3 points so that the conditions are even closer.
Next week will be a bit interesting because they will forget about La Liga for a while and play with prestige in the Copa del Rey.

[TopT3ns]

Barcelona missed out on the opportunity to go ten points clear at the top of the table. With Madrid playing a 1-1 draw with Atletico, this was Barcelona's golden chance to extend their lead at the top but they couldn't take it. The had to rest a lot of their players because they will be playing Real Madrid for the first leg of the Copa del Rey on Thursday at the Santiago Benabue.
Barcelona didn't really play well in this match, Eric Garcia was poor defensively. With Barcelona's current form I don't think they will be able to win Madrid Thursday but you never know with El classico.
Both teams always face each other with a different kind of spirit but I think the odd favours Madrid this time around since Pedri and Dembele won't be available for Barcelona.

Barcelona's match against Almeria tonight was very embarrassing because they had to lose against a team that shouldn't be too difficult to beat. Barcelona surprised many of its fans, and I'm sure tonight many lost money from gambling because they thought that Barcelona could win, but on the contrary, Barcelona lost to Almeria.

A bit surprise to see that if barcelona was losing against almeria.

Real madrid must be thankful to the almeria caused by it was able beating barcelona. The result from the match barcelona against almeria is unpredictable for sure. I thought that if barcelona gonna win easily against almeria but i were wrong about that.

Not the only surprise this week, but maybe the most unexpected. I hardly ever bet, but I have to confess that this week I placed a multi bet and was a total failure: Real Madrid's draw, Real Sociedad's defeat and finally this Barça's result... well, at least Almería's fans will be happy tonight.

Barcelona players over spent their energy in Europa League against Manchester United. The defeat at Old Trafford makes them feel bad and affected their performance in La Liga too. This defeat is not the end or too terrible for Barcelona but they wasted a good chance to expand their difference to be bigger against Real Madrid. The competitor of Barcelona just got a draw in a Madrid derby.

Anyway, Barcelona still have good gap against Real Madrid and they are still controlling the title race. Real Madrid will have to play in Champions League and it's a big disadvantage for them as Barcelona will likely 100% focus for La Liga.

It seems that Atletico has succeeded in making Madrid even more difficult for the La Liga Champions this season. The draw cost Madrid two points again.

Initially, that draw looks bad for Real Madrid but with a defeat of Barcelona, Real Madrid reduce the gap with Barcelona 1 more point with their derby draw. It's not too bad for Real Madrid. Sometimes they don't have to win to reduce gap against competitors.

Its seems you are Barcelona fans because keep protecting with your team although loss from weakness team Almeria, although gap 7 points behind Real Madrid on standing position right now have bad reputation after eliminating from Europe League and Barcelona got two loss in a row.

Real Madrid have won first leg in Champion League against  Liverpool and second leg seems easy for qualifying to quarter final, have enough time before quarter final begin and not problem for Real Madrid have focus between Champion League and La Liga. Left Copa del rey for Barcelona and against Real Madrid in semifinal, will possibility for Barcelona without any trophy again in this season if loss from Real Madrid on semifinal?

If you think that it was fatigue that led to Barcelona's loss to Almeria, it means that coach Xavi is not maximizing his squad. Barca has one of the best reserves in La Liga, as such he should be able to rest some players and bring in fresh legs for each match. There is need to have a plan which alternates players, thereby giving room for more players to take part in games.

I also observed that the Barca attack relies more of Lewandowski that is why all their goal attempts were aerial balls that was targeting the Polish striker. There is need to diversify the attacking force so that when Robert is not in form, other players can do the needful. Barca now has more advantage than Real Madrid to win the La Liga because they can now focus on it after their unexpected exit from the continental stage.

Almeria were outstanding in that game. The used the counter attacks affectively and when they coach say that the Barca attack was blunt, he instructed his boys to move forward. They really defended and attacked very well and it seems mother luck was on their side because Barca missed so many goal scoring opportunities. Such wins is what makes the La Liga exciting.

This match went beyond the predictions of many people and the bookie released that Barcelona would win the match, but in fact Almeria managed to make Barcelona lose points away from home. Almeria's defense was really impressive in this match and managed to withstand the attacks that Barcelona built throughout the match, Almeria's defense and midfield also looked so solid that Barcelona were only able to release one shot on target throughout the match.

Real Madrid still playing in the Champions League will certainly be concentrated in two competitions, but that does not mean ignoring La Liga, While Barcelona can focus fully on La Liga because they don't play in other competitions.

Initially, that draw looks bad for Real Madrid but with a defeat of Barcelona, Real Madrid reduce the gap with Barcelona 1 more point with their derby draw. It's not too bad for Real Madrid. Sometimes they don't have to win to reduce gap against competitors.

Currently the point difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 7 points, the worst assumption is that Barcelona lost to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the El Clasiko match, then Real Madrid will collect 55 points and still have 4 points left from Barcelona, thus the opportunity to fight for the La Liga title will be even more competitive for both of them.

Yes, the good thing is that this continues to add excitement to the league. A Barcelona win would have left them with a clear advantage but I think the surprise defeat is going to make the remaining games more exciting.

Real Madrid still playing in the Champions League will certainly be concentrated in two competitions, but that does not mean ignoring La Liga, While Barcelona can focus fully on La Liga because they don't play in other competitions.

In terms of physical fatigue, that gives Barcelona an advantage, but if Madrid start to come back, seeing themselves with the possibility of winning the league and also another Champions League can boost their morale, and let's remember that Madrid is the team that has won by far the most Champions League titles (14 to 7 for second place AC Milan).

The bitter pill that Barcelona away when they traveled to Almeria headquarters was the second defeat suffered by Barcelona in La Liga this season, this defeat also indicates that Barcelona is not at its best after losing to Manchester United in the Europa League. The defeat to Almeria did not make Barcelona lose its position at the top of the standings, as a result of failing to win three points at home to Almeria could help Real Madrid to close the gap on Barcelona.

Real Madrid still has a chance to win the UCL and La Liga titles, after slaughtering Liverpool in the first leg, Real Madrid is one foot into the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, La Liga still has 15 matches remaining including El Clasico which will be held at Camp Nou. During this duration anything can still happen, if Barcelona are unable to maintain their appearance they will be threatened with losing the La Liga title.

This is the stats from barcelona against almeria



Barcelona was showing superior stats compared with almeria. Almeria was only getting a few chances to shoot but glad to see that almeria was able making goal while barcelona was missing all of shots. There are so many differences once pedri and dembele didn't play.
It has proven that if barcelona was relying with the players that are on fire. Ferran torres and de jong didn't not performing so well.

[Strongkored]

Not the only surprise this week, but maybe the most unexpected. I hardly ever bet, but I have to confess that this week I placed a multi bet and was a total failure: Real Madrid's draw, Real Sociedad's defeat and finally this Barça's result... well, at least Almería's fans will be happy tonight.

When Real Madrid only drew with Atletico Madrid, it seemed natural, especially since the matches between the two clubs were always tough and hot matches, but what happened to Barcelona was really strange, could they have slightly weakened their opponent? but this is football, no matter how strong a team is, it can still be beaten, so no matter how weak a team is, they can still surprise and Barca are taken by surprise, they should have benefited from a draw that Real got, but it turned out that Real had the advantage because Barca lost.

Barcelona wasted the opportunity to widen the gap with Real Madrid. Even though they are still 7 points ahead, in my opinion, the Blaugrana's position is not completely safe. Barcelona's performance can be said to be very bad, they lost rhythm and intensity, so it's only natural that Xavi is very angry with the result of that match.

Xavi must immediately raise the motivation of his troops, because there is no reason for the team from Catalan to waste the opportunity, because the hopes of winning the La Liga title this season are very wide open.

[Sebas.tian]

Barcelona's performance was really bad today. They had only one shot on goal in the whole game despite having 14 goal attempts. This is just unacceptable against a team like Almeria.

I was seeing this game as an easy one for Barcelona. This shouldn't definitely be the game they even lose three points. But their shots were really horrible during the game. Lewandowski was so ineffective also in this game. Their biggest goal chance might be Araujo's header but it was slightly wide. Almeria's goal was really impressive by the way. Suarez's assist was really good and ter Stegen didn't have much thing to do against that incredible shot by Toure also. While Barcelona were trying to score the equalizer they were nearly going to concede the 2nd goal in the last moments. This was a bad day for them in short.

Barcelona performance was not encouraging in the first half that made Almeria to achieved the goal at 24th minutes, that surprised many people because Barcelona used the right players to start the match. But it was too late for Barcelona players to equalized the goal despite the excellent display they displayed in the second half, Almeria defenders never allow such opportunity to come to Barcelona strikers that made them to lose their three points. I believe, Barcelona coach will do something that will make their fans happy again in their next match by introducing some new skills that will make them to win their next match to maintain the first position in the la Liga league table.

Barcelona vs Almera yesterday match was totally an unprecedented match for Barcelona and many fans, Including myself, were confident of Barcelona winning the match but luck was not on their side and Almera manage to win barca with one goal resulting in a massive loss for those that stake high amount in favour Barcelona.

-this type of unexpected result is what makes football fun because no one can accurately predict its final result no. Matter the teams that are laying.
