La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[kawetsriyanto]

~~
Real Madrid and Barcelona have confirmed their line-ups for today's CDR Semi-Final. We can see that both teams used the same 4-3-3 formation and Real Madrid appeared with the main squad but they kept Rodrygo on the bench because he was recovering from injury, while Barcelona put Ferran Torres as the main striker. I think Barcelona have no other choice in these circumstances and have to make the most of the players they have and Real Madrid they will be very superior in terms of players.

Yep. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona actually have the same formation but they use different tactics/strategies. Real Madrid uses counter-attack, while Barcelona uses Tiki-Taka. Barcelona probably will dominate the ball possession, Real Madrid will focus to play efficiently and make shot attempts as many as possible. With the current lineup, surely Real Madrid is the favorite team to win the match. Real Madrid plays with a full team, they use all their main players. While Barcelona, they miss 3 main players (Lewandowski, Dembele, and Pedri).

Anyway, the match has started and Real Madrid looks more dominant in the match. It is surprising that Real Madrid won the ball possession and they already made 1 shot attempt.

In terms of players and home advantage which is obvious. If Barcelona got Lewandowski in their lineup then they might have a shot but with their current lineup is just not enough to win. If they can pull a 2-1 lost or keep it draw on the 1st leg then they might have a shot on the 2nd leg though but Real Madrid will definitely pressure them starting from the 1st half whistle

This is a quite difficult condition for Barcelona playing away at Real Madrid's home and they played without some of their key players.
What they expect is possibly for getting a drawn result for this first-leg match. But, we know Real Madrid will not let it be, moreover with playing at home, Real Madrid must be more motivated to win the match whatever happened. they have a bigger chance, expect that real Madrid let it lose the chance.
This El Classico may not influence to the position in La Liga, but whatever, El Classico will be always much interesting, moreover this is semi-final  of Copa del Rey

I think Barcelona have no other choice in these circumstances and have to make the most of the players they have and Real Madrid they will be very superior in terms of players.

Ferran was forced into the role of a central striker in the absence of Lewandowski and right now the only hope is Gavi and Raphinha to scramble Madrid's defense with their tiki taka.
The midfield was also a bit forced because when Gavi was promoted, inevitably with Pedri's absence in the squad, De Jong was the choice.
I'm still pretty sure about Madrid now.

[Distraction]

Atletico Madrid might have an opportunity this week to get away from Betis more. Because they have a match home against Sevilla and I don't think they would use any point in that. Because Sevilla are still not able to keep a good form in the league these days. They seemed like they were improving their results after a couple victories. But they returned to their same old bad form again later on. Besides Sevilla are performing very badly in big matches here as well. The one against Barcelona is a great example.

Hence I'm expecting Atletico Madrid to win one way or another. As for Betis they are going to play against Real Madrid. Even though it is a match home for them I still don't think they will manage to win.

That's right, Atletico Madrid have the opportunity to get three points from Sevilla this week, because Sevilla haven't been so consistent to getting points in every match before. Even also they previously Sevilla lost against Osasuna, so the possibility of Atletico Madrid to winning that match is quite high.

Indeed, Real Betis will certainly find it difficult to get three points, although they are playing at home because in the previous five matches they never won against Real Madrid but is still a possibility for a draw.

The game of football is funny and the result in the game after first half is really a good one for Barcelona team which most people predicted not to win the match because of the absent of their star man Lewandoski. The only shot on target has come from the Barcelona side and they have managed to win 0:1 in the first half I believe they will end up winning the game if Real Madrid do not put much pressure on them. With the performance of Barcelona in the first half they may end up winning the game 1:2 which is the opposite of what you predicted.

And it looks like the 1-0 score could also last until the game ends. and in the second half until now in the 54th minute there has not been a goal again. And I think it is very likely that Barcelona will be able to maintain their advantage in this match if Real Madrid cannot make more dangerous attacks into the Barcelona defense area. But actually I prefer Real Madrid in this match.

I'm still pretty sure about Madrid now.

Although it is quite confident with Real Madrid, Barcelona is still favored by an own goal from Militao in the 26th minute and now the match has entered the 74nd minute where Real Madrid still hasn't responded even though Real Madrid has a ball that is far greater than Barcelona. But El Clasico always presents a very interesting match and will not be easy enough for both of them even though you only believe one of the teams for more logical reasons.

The tempo of the match was a bit slow in the second half but indeed there were some very good opportunities considering the current conditions even though both teams still seemed to be cautious.
Now time is almost at the crucial minute, usually Madrid make a little significant movement in the last 15 minutes. Let's hope there are goals scored because it will be a little difficult for Madrid if they push this score to the end.

Barcelona do not impress me so much these days because the standard of this team is nothing compared to what this club has been. They have not been able to score a real goal and if that own goal had not entered, the game would have still been leveled and goalless still. I never write off Real Madrid, the team is very much capable of turning results in the last few minutes of games, so until the game is over I still see Madrid as a team that will score, they control the ball possession and have more targets at goal in this second half, one may enter before the Referee calls the game to a close.

For me am kinda tired of soccer, the more you feel a team is going to win a match that's when it just keep getting harder and harder for the proposed team. With the match is going now I never actually expected Barcelona to win this match but its seem my predictions have gone sideways again but although there is hope but I don't see Barcelona given in to the pressure. Real Madrid might end up drawing the match but that's still a maybe situation as Barcelona are looking solid in their defence. With the current position of the match I don't see any equalizer but you can never be too sure as its very clear it's football, I mean anything can happen

Yes, Barcelona leads with 1 goal, it is a shame that Real Madrid can't score any goal so far. I am sure that most people think Real Madrid will win this match because they are playing with full key players. But it seems beyond people's expectation, Real Madrid played poorly and Barcelona played well until now. The match is already in the last 10 minutes, Real Madrid still gets difficulty in scoring although they dominate in attacking. I think Real Madrid will miss the chance to score in this match if no significant change is made by Ancelotti.  

[alpamar99]

Barcelona's condition with loss of some players for attack lines and wings clearly made them a little doubtful condition.
However for the H2H match that has occurred actually only becomes a benchmark for pre-matches because during the match everything can happen and this season they have met with each victory for them once with the same score.

That is true but this situation for Barcelona is temporary and their players like Dembele and Pedri will return to the field after a recovery however Barcelona should start about how they are going to play without these players during this time and perform well the times they were playing before, Xavi did everything pretty well he was just not lucky enough especially after losing these players.

But in this match they were a bit out of the question. It's rare for Xavi to do this defensively but it's understandable because their condition is superior and they have nothing to lose even though the aggregate is 1 goal.
Currently, the minutes have been 80 minutes and Barcelona are still piling up the players in their defense while occasionally counterattacking.
Now Madrid started to make a breakthrough with the strategy in the last 10 minutes.

90+ and Barcelona is leading real Madrid with 1:0 goal at the moment and it doesn't look like Real Madrid ha any hope to equalize this goal within the extra time that remain in the match.

-This is almost a concluded winning for Barcelona against Real Madrid tonight, what an unexpected winning for Barcelona if the final whistle blow the winner of the match.

The match ends and the score does not change in this match.
To be honest, I was sleepy in this match because it was very different from the El Clasico I had imagined.
The tempo was very slow, Barcelona didn't try anything and Madrid really couldn't penetrate with the many opportunities that existed.
It's a little difficult to say as el clasico because the match is very monotonous.
But on the other hand, Barcelona is clearly profitable because in the second leg they have an aggregate goal advantage.

In the first half the game was quite heated up from time to time. During those times it was like the clasico.

But what this game today showed is that Real Madrid isn't that solid when you disturb them in their game and repeatedly slow them down. They weren't as calm as they can be when they patiently wait for their chance. Modric made a couple of mistakes he usually doesn't make.

The only one who tried to bring it under control was Kroos, but right before they came into the box they were lacking creative moves. Vinicius Junior didn't show his best either and was frustrated all the time.

Barcelona winning the first leg away is a big success given how many players they are missing. But even though they had less ball possession, this was a deserved win. I put my bets on Real Madrid tonight...

[KTChampions]

An unexpected defeat for Real Madrid, but in fact the score is not critical and everything will be decided in the second leg. The only thing that surprised me today is how Barcelona can play the bus - Real Madrid seems to have zero shots on target in the entire game. An interesting result, but keep in mind that both teams did not show all the trump cards in preparation for the head-to-head confrontation in La Liga.

Militao own goal kept Barca ahead of Real Madrid, it is an interesting match as both clubs are playing serious to net the post. Real Madrid couldn't break in deadlock today will so many opportunities that they had. Barca is also trying their best but they are already winning the match which shows that luck is on their side on this match. No side could score apart from the own goal at the 26th minutes in the first half.

I must confess,I enjoyed the match because it was superb. Many chances of making a difference in the match couldn't be converted to goal. Next match will be played in camp nou which is an advantage to Barca.

This is one of the most unexpected outcomes of the event this season, who would have thought that Barca will beat Real Madrid at this early stage and for the fact that Barcelona players were able to defend the goal till the end of the game shows how capable the Barcelona defence is and this will set a good foundation for the upcoming marches in the season.

-And for Real Madrid,  I know there Leave to fight another day, since luck is not with them in this match.

An interesting result, but keep in mind that both teams did not show all the trump cards in preparation for the head-to-head confrontation in La Liga.

I totally forgot about the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona as the Copa Del Rey semi-final.
It was when I saw an update from a friend that I rushed to live scores to check the scores. I was surprised not to have seen much goals, but the only goal that was called was an own goal from the Real Madrid Defender.
This showed that it was really a tough match between these two giants of La Liga.
Could it be that Barcelona has learnt how to play Real Madrid recently?
I am not hopeful that Real Madrid will exit Barcelona in the second leg.
