La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rendravolt]

Real Madrid and Barcelona have confirmed the list of squads they will take to the Copa del Rey semi-finals. It is clear that Barcelona will not take Pedri and Lewandowski in this match because they are still injured, while for Real Madrid they will bring the full squad in this match titled El Clasico later. Maybe Real Madrid are indeed superior in this match, but they must be vigilant and must not underestimate Barcelona even though they are not supported by several of their main players.

I didn't see any problems at defense for Barcelona in the first El Clasico for the CDR as it seemed that all the defenders were quite ready for the match. But without Pedri, Barcelona's midfield looked down because the kid really did well there. While Barcelona have problems in attack with Dembele and Lewandowski still out injured, it will only mean their attack is not strong enough to rely on against Real Madrid.

Xavi may be expected to be a genius enough to get the good form out of his players. Sergio, De Jong and Kessie/ Roberto will fill in as midfielders, while Gavi, Fati and Raphinha will complete as forward. Barcelona is weak, of course not but they just lack the stock of players who are expected to contribute a lot to the match to win.

It's true what you said, regarding Barcelona maybe they still have players who can be relied on but to win it is quite difficult with the current squad. Certainly Xavi will really work on his players in this match, such as changing rotations, anticipating counterattacks from opponents and also creating gaps in the opponent's defense, those are some of the things Xavi needs to be able to put pressure on Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will face Barcelona in their first match in the Copa del Ray and this will determine the victory of these two teams because on March 20 they will compete again to win the La Liga title, so this will be a very fierce battle and it should be Real Madrid can get victory easily because many Barcelona strikers are injured and eventually make Barcelona's strength incomplete.

in fact, right now these two teams are in an erratic performance, Real Madrid is currently still unable to be consistent and so is Barcelona so the first Leg meeting of the Copa Del Rey between these two teams is likely to be very even and also of course this season the competition between the two teams this is very much back in balance after Barcelona bounced back this season under Xavi Hernandez.

La Copa del Rey is a tournament that is essentially different from La Liga in its format, and if we look at the list of trophies, although Madrid and Barcelona are at the top, Madrid, having won the most leagues with 35 titles, is third in the number of Copa del Rey titles. Teams that have never won a league, such as Zaragoza or Irún, won Copas del Rey in their time.

Therefore, what happens in the Copa del Rey clash between Madrid and Barcelona is unpredictable and the fact that Madrid are a little weaker in La Liga than Barcelona does not help us to try to predict the outcome.

Personally for me there is no doubt that Real Madrid will win today, especially after the last game against Liverpool it is clear to me that the team is in great form now... In this El Clasico it doesn't matter who is in what position in the standings... This is a crucial encounter and Madrid are much better prepared for it...

If you look at the matches of the two teams, Carlo Ancelotti's troops failed to beat their city rivals, namely Atletico Madrid and Alvaro Rodriguez's goal was only able to make them draw 1-1. And Barcelona, in their last match, lost to hosts Almeria 0-1 in La Liga.
and the two teams have played twice in official events this season, in two El Clasico matches. Real Madrid and Barcelona each won one win and also with the same score 3-1.
and if you look at the last game Real Madrid could have been superior, but these two teams are still giants in the Spanish League and both are predicted to be fierce and hot considering the prestige battle tucked inside. And I'm not picking on who will win, but this will be a match I can't miss.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Pedri is certain to be out for a few match, and it is very doubtful that he will feature in the second leg at Manchester United. Sergi Roberto, Kessie, De Jong and Gavi were available, but the loss of Pedri completely changed the team's appearance in midfield. So Xavi must find the right solution against Cadiz so that his record can be maintained.

Have official confirmation about Pedri have absent more than three weeks later for Barcelona and actually he will miss for up coming match against Cadiz, seems not in the right time with Pedri injured because he most vital player on midfielder area and I don't think have another player will replace his position as well as.

Barcelona still in positive trend in La Liga winning last five matches and potential keep continue the impressive record against Cadiz, but Barcelona will not in the complete team for next match because in the middle week have preparing team against Manchester United in Europe League playoff round for second leg.

Since being held to a 1-1 draw by Espanyol at the end of December, Barcelona have won all of their La Liga matches so far.
Barcelona won the league match 6 times in a row so far, and they are an unbeaten team since being beaten by Bayern Munich in the Champions League on October 27, 2022. That is a very good statistic for Barcelona so far this season, and now they have gone 17 match unbeaten.

It is very possible to expect Barcelona to extend their unbeaten streak against Cadiz because the quality of the two teams is very different at the moment. Cadiz may be looking to steal points at Camp Nou as they desperately want to stay away from the relegation zone, but Barcelona are the favorites at home. Even if Cadiz has chances, they may be aware that beating Barcelona is never easy.

I am a fan of Real Madrid and I will always support them, but I also recognize that Barcelona have played impeccably, Xavi has not done badly, he has improved a lot, and it is clear that he wants to stay at Barcelona, well, things are not They gave him the way he wanted in the Europa League, because Man United went ahead, but they knew how to draw, but to have played at the Camp Nou was to have won, now things are more complicated for him to play at Old Traford Well, there United is very strong, however I know that Barcelona is a team that likes to spoil the party in other places being visitors, in the League I see them clearly as champions.

Even though Real Madrid has a good possibility to reduce the points gap with Barcelona in El Clasico match, however we can never guarantee victory at Camp Nou. You just need to be aware that Barcelona are very strong at home, but things can change when the team is not at their best.
Barcelona are not missing defenders, but they only have problems with midfielders and strikers. So I still consider them pretty strong on defense, but maybe a bit weak on offense.

Real Madrid is vying for the La Liga title, but it appears that catching Barça in points will be one of the toughest challenges. With sufficient effort being put forward from both clubs, the race is become more intriguing. Both teams are outstanding in their varied gameplay perspectives, and they are fully prepared for the impending events. Barcá is not participating in any league games at all, hence the laliga trophy will be their major priority. The europa trophy or the champions league were Xavi Hernandez's top priorities, but due to poor play, his club was eliminated from both of them.

Barcelona's main and only goal now will be to secure the La Liga title. Because they have already been eliminated from the European League. But Real Madrid's target is not only La Liga. They also want to continue their good performance in the Champions League. And so it will be a bit difficult to consistently perform well in both places. Since Real Madrid's first priority is the Champions League, I wouldn't be surprised if they drop points in a few La Liga games and fall further behind Barcelona. Now Barcelona is the most favorite team for the title.

Madrid already lost hope for la Liga in my opinion, not only because of the gap but also because Barcelona will have enough time to prepare for their matches since they only still have la Liga to play for, so i believe the mission will be easier for Barcelona

That is what many of us think, but look at the Europa League, they had a lot of time to prepare, even Barcelona had a very good chance and they wasted it and unfortunately Xavi's strategy is not adequate, they have to change everything because they simply don't It is not working for them, if they get to play better in the league, not only Real Madrid will beat them but also any team, because apparently they have many associated problems and this is something that can affect a team a lot, it really is a regret for Lewa because he is a player who doesn't even deserve to be in the Europa League, and lose it.

[hahay]

Their match in el clasico in the Copa Del Rey is their 3rd game this season, Real Madrid can win one match in the first leg of La Liga, while Barcelona won one Super Copa final and it became their first trophy this season. Now their matches are more even than last season, because Barcelona have improved a lot. If one of them can win this match then they will most likely become the champion. And it looks like these two teams will be after that. This match will be very interesting to watch.

The Copa del Rey semifinals will be played over two legs, so even though Real Madrid or Barcelona can win today's match, they are still not promising to qualify for the final. But yes, at least if one of them can win in this first leg, then of course it will make it easier for them to come to the second leg later.

The other teams that also played in this semifinal were Bilbao and Osasuna and indeed, if Real Madrid and/or Barcelona qualify for the Copa del Rey final then of course this team will be the team that seems certain to win the Copa del Rey title this season.

The first leg can be decisive as Real is playing at their home and if they manage to crush Barcelona thanks to Barcelona really bad recent form where they were eliminated from the Europa League and what is worse they could not even score a goal against Almeria which is the second worse defense of the La Liga.I think Real Madrid should take profit from such circumstances and to win the game of tonight with a lot of goals difference,which of course is going to be very difficult so they should try hard tonight.

They don't need to worry about Champions League qualification as they most likely they are already in the next leg.

Barcelona have the best defense in La Liga, they only conceded 8 goals in 23 rounds, so I don't think Real Madrid can score many goals against Barcelona. I'm not worried about the defense of Barcelona, but there are problems in the attack, as Lewandowski and Dembele will miss this match due to injuries. Real Madrid must of course win the first leg in order to have an advantage over the return game, and Barcelona will try not to lose.

In La Liga, Barcelona have solid defensive with 8 goals conceded from 23 games, its seems not realistic comparison because first el clasico in this season Barcelona have conceded three goals from Real Madrid and Barcelona have bad reputation facing bigger team not only in La Liga but also Champion League and Europe League become proof with defensive weakness.

Copa Del rey semifinal first leg between Barcelona have problem with two important player was absent, Dembele have longer time absent due injured and latest update Robert Lewandowski have absent n this el clasico and give opportunity for Real Madrid's defender.

[RILWAN]

Real Madrid has a very tough match tonight @ 21:00 this is the most watched for me and others who love Real Madrid and want to see them play asap to face other clubs in La Liga and other federations.

I gave Real Madrid a straight winning in my ticket and at that, I am very expectant of a win for Madrid tonight's match.

[bounceback]

Lewandowski cannot be played will make Barcelona's frontlines experiencing deadlock in attacks. They will have difficulty facing a strong Madrid defense. But this is the first leg that is also important. Both are not only competing for La Liga. Too bad Barca could not appear with full force. But I'm sure Xavi has a strategy to face Madrid's dominance.

I admit you are right, Barcelona is the best team right now in La Liga with a strong defense. They have the lowest goals conceded record so far of all the other teams in La Liga and other top leagues, but I don't think they are any better in other competitions.

Real Madrid will have to create a lot of goal chances to win the match because Barcelona will definitely rely on their defensive strength not to concede. There aren't many goals for this El Clasico, but if we can have 2 or 3 goals then of course the chances of getting to the final are closer. We are favourites, of course but there is no need to underestimate Barcelona for whatever reason.

[shogun47]

It is a bit sad to see that the clasico takes place without so many good players because Modric and Gavi are suspended due to yellow cards and Lewandowski, Pedri, Dembele and Mendy, Alaba, Rodrygo are injured. If you watch this game you want the best 11 for both of them on the field.

Now Barcelona is punched in the face literally because their whole offensive game is sabotaged so to say. There is no way to replace those four and still come up with a very strong offensive game. I think Real Madrid is the true favorite here, but I don't expect so many goals. It won't be that spectacular as I believe Xavi will tell his guys to focus on the defense today, to not concede many goals and then hope that for the second leg all players are available and then attack it in the home game.

[salad daging]

But this is the first leg that is also important. Both are not only competing for La Liga. Too bad Barca could not appear with full force. But I'm sure Xavi has a strategy to face Madrid's dominance.

It should be a full game for Real Madrid as several Barcelona players have been out injured but nevertheless it's a good chance for Real Madrid to play at home with a Barcelona squad that is in a stalemate.

The betting odds are also very different between Real Madri and Barcelon (1.92 - 4.00). Due to Barcelona's situation, which has experienced a series of player injuries, the bookies must offer bigger odds for Barcelona.

I predict this will be a win for the hosts but Xavi will not be weak even if there is no Lewandowski in his midfield of course they have a strategy for that.

Copa del rey is even more prestigious compared with super copa. I think that real madrid will not be missing chance to beat barcelona. Real madrid will be coming with full squads while barcelona will not come with its full squads. I will be going all in madrid.
Madrid looks very promising compared with barcelona. It seems like that if people will be picking madrid as the most favorite club to beat barcelona in the semifinal of copa del rey.



Real madrid may able to beat barcelona easily but yeah it's also having very good odds. Barcelona is still also worthy enough to risking our money but i choose madrid to be a winner for the match against barcelona in copa del rey.

Real Madrid is lagging behind Barcelona despite Barcelona's strength, thus just though they are in the lead presently does not guarantee they will win. I love how the game is very competitive and everyone is showing their strength, but honestly, I think Barcelona will win if real Madrid doesn't change their plans. Having Benzema on board should be a treat to the entire la Liga. Analyzing defense, Real Madrid also has good defensive players good defense, and smart midfielders.

I don't doubt Barcelona's defense, but if in this match Barcelona was completely battered by Madrid players. which in the end, Barcelona's defense will break too. But, this is just a scenario. that in fact, we will not know what happened in the fight later. speaking of Madrid, in this match Don Carlo will play his full squad. plus, their two senior midfielders, namely Luca Modric and Toni Kroos. that is, Ancelotti will not let Barcelona win this fight.

On the other hand, this match was a tough match for Xavi Hernandez's squad. because, as we know, there are several of their core players who must be absent in this match. without Lewandowski, it looks like it will be difficult to find the net for Real Madrid. however, that doesn't mean Xavi doesn't have other plans and strategies. and if we refer to the predicted line-up that Xavi will play in this match, Ferran Torres is the main choice as a center forward to replace Lewandowski. well, we'll see how Torres looks in this fight. However, my attention is on Barcelona's midfield. if, Busquet and Sergio Roberto can perform optimally as a double pivot, De Jong as an attacking midfielder. meaning, Barcelona will provide quite a fierce resistance. So, let's just enjoy the game when it starts.

[skarais]

Even though in La Liga the Real Madrid team is below the Barcelona team in second place in the standings, at this El Clasico meeting I am sure the Real Madrid team will come out victorious, the two teams this season have met twice in official competitions and both won one victory, in the first meeting Madrid won against Barcelona in La Liga with a score of 3-1 and in the second meeting in the Supercopa final Barcelona managed to beat the Madrid team with a score of 3-1, but currently the performance of the Real Madrid team is in a positive trend after beating Liverpool in the Champions League while the Barcelona team slumped a little after they were beaten by the MU team.

Losing 2 matches in a row doesn't mean Barcelona is in bad form, without creating chances or something like that.
Barcelona's defeat against Manchester United because De Gea's performance was really good and made some brilliant saves. Meanwhile, Almeria won only because they were lucky to last until the end of the match even though Barcelona had more than 70% possession.

Barcelona played some good football although they didn't always avoid defeat even in matches which left them favourites. Vice versa, Real Madrid can still lose even though they are unbeaten in 6 consecutive matches in all competitions. This prestigious match will be very interesting to look forward to even if both of them draw or one of them loses. Barcelona won 3 of their last 5 matches against Real Madrid, while Real Madrid won only 2 of their last 5 matches against Barcelona in all competitions.

Having Benzema on board should be a treat to the entire la Liga. Analyzing defense, Real Madrid also has good defensive players good defense, and smart midfielders.

The difference in points between Real Madrid and Barcelona is indeed quite far, but keep in mind that Madrid is still a Madrid which, with their performance, can catch up to Barcelona points at this time. However, for Xavi their current position is not completely secure. The remaining matches and the condition of the players that need attention will slightly disrupt the stability of the team's performance.

[KTChampions]

In my opinion, on the contrary, Real Madrid's odds seem incredibly strange and generous - almost x2 in a home game against a weakened opponent against which there is always a high motivation.
The only factors I can think of against Real Madrid are that they will save energy before the big game against Real Betis, or that Ancelotti will not show all the cards before the league game where the La Liga title will be decided.
In my opinion, even the victory of Real Madrid with a handicap of -1 looks reliable, and given the odds (2.70), this is just a gift.

It looks difficult for Madrid, even have a focus on Copa del Rey tomorrow, they must also focus on la liga to meet betis which I think will split they concentrate on the semifinal if the squad didn't hear in what Ancelotti instructions. But if Lewandowski true got injured, I think real madird will play relax than lewa on the squad, and maybe get a win this match.

The other day I came across a statistical study that proved that the key player for Barcelona is Pedri and it is his absence that leads to the loss of points and the deterioration of the game. I don’t know if this is true or just juggling numbers, but after the World Cup, Lewandowski has an obvious decline and his absence will not be particularly important, but the absence of Pedri may have an impact on Barcelona. In any case, I'm worried about too generous chances for Real to win, so I'll at least wait until the game starts, and then I'll think about what to do.

[Docnaster]

Real madrid's odd is very good to bet.

Let me say I agree, Real Madrid odd is 1.95 on the betting site that I used while Barcelona odd is over 3. I do not like going for this type of match which is although not difficult to predict as many people that are watching La Liga say that some of the key players in Barcelona are having injury and not playing. This is likely the final and Real Madrid will not take that as a joke and they have their team complete which Real Madrid would want to use as an advantage against Barcelona. The match would be fun but I will prefer to just go for over 2.5 goal odd.

in my opinion Real Madrid remain the favorites and if they manage to score a win, they manage to recover 3 points (not a little) and raise their morale in La Liga
unfortunately the many commitments (and the World Cup) have really weakened him, and therefore unfortunately he finds himself having to deal with tired players and many commitments
he can do it, but it's tough

Real Madrid is In it best form and all the players are in good condition, well prepared and ready for the clash with Barcelona who just lose twice in the last two matches.. I dont see Barcelona accepting three consecutive defeats? It's a very awful record to keep in the season, that's the more resean I can't play Real Madrid to win even with as tempting odds. This match may end full time draw
