La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[bbigtart]

I really didn't expect Barcelona to win this match not just because Madrid played home but also because Barcelona team recently got eliminated from the European league, but it seems Barcelona player really don't care about this competition because they was very motivated against real Madrid and they got an important win, but i believe this not mean the qualification because Madrid team always make good results in the comp nou

When viewed from throughout the match, Real Madrid really dominated the game. But the results surprised everyone, even Madrid actually lost to Barcelona with a narrow score of 0-1 and even then thanks to Eder Militao's own goal in the 26th minute. I also think the result will be a draw because both are playing well and are equally strong. but everyone has to accept the end result, maybe in the second leg Real Madrid will avenge this defeat later for sure.

I honestly never thought Barcelona could win against Real Madrid. even the line-up can tell you that, as Barcelona don't appear to be at full strength. But that's football, sometimes the luck factor determines victory. If you look at the statistics Real Madrid is superior, Leg 2 I think it will be tough for Real Madid to play in front of the Barcelona crowd and will definitely appear at full strength.

ancelotti was quite annoyed with the bus parking strategy carried out by barcelona immediately after barcelona led 1 goal in 26 minutes (militao scored an own goal). In the semifinals of the 2nd leg of the Copa Del Rey later, Barcelona's chances of using the bus parking strategy are also quite large, considering that they are already 1-0 on aggregate.

In fact, the tactics used by Xavi are reasonable when 4 core players are injured. Xavi is smart to see that without Levi, Pedri and Dembele it seems like it's useless to play possession and offensive, it's better to defend, use philosophy according to the needs and circumstances of the team. almost every Elclasico Real madrid also uses this tactic and can also score goals with Barcelona.

From here we can see the difference in creativity in the Madrid midfield which was completely locked up resulting in a stagnation of creativity. Of course it's Vini's option, but Vini knows that Araujo's opponent definitely can't do anything. Indeed, the view is quite the opposite from the previous Elclasico matches.

Just dominating the game isn't enough to win them over, and we'll see in this match. Usually Real Madrid play effective football, but in that game it was difficult for them to do so. I think this is a result of the solid defense that Barcelona has built, and also the decline up front for Real Madrid. They can't continue like this, because only relying on one Benzema on the front lines will lead them to a stalemate when Benzema cannot be a solution.

Actually, Real Madrid did not fully rely on Benzema
We can see the statistics of other strikers like Vinicius, Rodrygo for example. Benzema will only be seen playing in a few important matches for Real Madrid, but overall Madrid's dependence on Benzema is not completely

To be frank, the Barcelona squad were really prepared for the last night's game and they gave Real Madrid a stressed time all throughout the 90+ minutes there were 70% dominant in ball control,  and as soon as the chance to make a goal score arrived Bacelona made use of the chance anof scoring an early goal.

From then they became so resistant and highly defensive is the time and we were able to secure that one goal without an equalization Real Madrid team tried to secure a goal but it was not possible.

Xavi has learned from the defeat of Manchester United and Almeria, defense has been the priority of Xavi due to conceding three goals in his last two matches. In this prestigious match the Barcelona defender played with brilliant, Kounde, Alonso, Araujo and Balde played so spectacularly, they survived very well which made Real Madrid players unable to score a single goal in this match despite controlling the game.

As a result of the clever tactics used by Xavi, Madrid failed to make shots on target at home for the first time in the last 13 years. The second leg will be very beneficial for Barcelona, besides playing in front of his supporters, Barcelona has a capital of one goal at the Santiago Bernabeu.

If you think Real Madrid's current form has dropped, then how do you really believe they can beat Barcelona at Camp Nou for the second leg?
You could say Real Madrid has a chance of qualifying for the Copa Del Rey final by beating Barcelona, ​​​​but don't say it's an easy job. After all, there is no guarantee that Real Madrid can play their best players without injury, that's because the second leg will be played in April.

Real Madrid dominated a lot and created chances, but they couldn't get a single shot on target, which seems to be the merit of Barcelona's defense. While Barcelona took one of the few opportunities and scored a goal. The result does not match the game, but this sometimes happens. Real Madrid should have at least not lost at home, now the away game will be even more difficult, and now they definitely need to score.

Real madrid team offense was really poor yesterday i agree that barcelona defense played a role in that, in the recent encounters barcelona team really showed dominance against real madrid so i understand why people think a comeback is difficult but it is totally possible.

To be honest, I would say Barcelona's victory in this match was a fortune. this match, did not present an interesting fight. especially Barcelona who play more defensively, Xavi applies more counter-attack strategies. which in the end, this fight was quite boring even though I'm happy that in the end Barcelona won the fight. but, for Barcelona's defense. I admit, that they played quite impressive and very disciplined. Xavi's strategy of rotating Araujo and Kounde worked out exactly what he expected, Barcelona's defense was stronger than ever. unfortunately, Barcelona did not display anything special in this fight. I know, without Lewandowski, Dembele, Pedri, Barcelona have lost their sharpness a bit.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's defense showed poor performance, which in the end Madrid had to suffer defeat in this match. Likewise with Vini Jr, he did not appear as usual. in the end, the Real Madrid players experienced frustration to break down the highly disciplined Barcelona defense. apart from all that, I hope in the second leg later. these two teams, will present a very interesting battle.

Rodrygo didn't contribute a lot for real madrid. It's time for real madrid to try to consider buying a secondary striker to replace rodrygo. If you are aware of the result from the last match against barcelona real madrid was not even making a single shot on target against barcelona. The fact that if benzema has become top scorer from real madrid in la liga. That proves his contribution was a lot to the club.

that's why people called that real madrid was relying with benzema and it's pretty much the same as barcelona that pegged with lewandowski as lewandowski was helping barcelona to win the matches so many times.
I think that it's time for madrid to do regeneration by buying a good striker like osimhen from napoli.

[Doell]

When we look at the odds, Sociedad seems to haven't a problem beating Cadiz tonight, but when we look at the performance, Sociedad squad seems not good, In the last 5 matches, Sociedad only has 1 win away from Espanyol which I think to be a big problem even play at the home because Cadiz only makes us surprise, especially after winning on valencia home 2 months ago.

I also think about Sociedad recent performance, they haven't been very consistent in collect points, even they lost against Valencia. You're right Cadiz sometimes make a surprises, but the head to head record seems to be an important point for me if want to bet on this match. Sociedad have a high chance of getting three points tonight, so I'll bet on Sociedad to Win, wish me luck.

Benzema is not able to support the team like before. Benzema did not play very well against Barcelona. The rest of the attacking players performed brilliantly, but Xavi brilliantly taught Barcelona's defensive tactics to secure the victory.

although Cadiz could surprise Sociedad. I also place a bet on Sociedad. the odds of winning are better than Cadiz or the best chance of Cadiz is a draw.
since I also bet for Sociedad, good luck with our bets. because all that can make Cadiz win is their luck. they are not without odds but statistically, Sociedad is still the best for this bet.

Real Sociedad is the third team in the league and they are currently one of the best teams in La Liga. There is an important match that is going to take place tonight between Real Sociedad and Cadiz. Technically, Real Sociedad has a better chance than Cadiz, mostly because of the recent performance that we saw from Real Sociedad compared to Cadiz. In addition, if you take a look at the last five games between Real Sociedad and Cadiz, Real Sociedad won all of them.

Xavi's strategy in the El Clasico match was correct, but of course it's not Barcelona's style.
I think Xavi was really forced to play defensively because they don't have good squad to play in attack. This proved to be effective even though I found it very tiring. Losing Dembele, Pedri and Lewandowski was why Xavi did it, but it worked.

I've said that Barcelona wouldn't be so bad without those 3 players, but of course that only has to make Barcelona play strong in defense and take the few chances to win. In fact I almost thought Barcelona would have scored 2 goals if Kessie's shot had not hit Ansu Fati before the end, but winning an El Clasico match like this is very unusual for Barcelona. Due to Barcelona's excellent defence, Real Madrid were unable to have a single shot on target in their 13 attempts.

[Distraction]

It was a really unlucky goal for Real Madrid by the way. Courtois saved Kessie's shot nicely but the ball came back by hitting Militao and found the back of the net.

After that I thought Real Madrid would still be able to score the equalizer. But they were also really bad at finding the target. Having no shot on target despite all that domination is really inexplainable. Real Madrid aren't like this normally. Ancelotti was caring about the Copa del Rey a lot also because they had their main lineup on the pitch in the end. Barcelona could have even scored more goals if they were able to benefit from a couple of chances. Real Madrid will need to make improvement in the second leg.

Real Sociedad has been up and running in their performance this season which has put them in the 3rd position that they are in their league, despite the fact that in their recent games they haven't gotten much of points, however this will stand as a motivation for the team in trying to get the 3 points from their opponent in order to maintain their position and keep their fans happy once again. Whereas Cadiz is down the league table and still struggling, wining Sociedad is gonna be a tough one for them due to their past meeting records with the opponent.

Barcelona has been using fully defensive strategy against real madrid. The problem is now real madrid must be playing in camp nou with so many disadvantage. Barcelona has been taking such option caused by there are some players that have become main players to play offensive got injured. The defensive strategy by barcelona was really working as it was giving back pressure to the madrid.
I remember when barcelona was also in the same position once it was facing chelsea a long time ago. It seems like that real madrid must also try to play even better in camp nou.

I have the same thought. Real Madrid looked to dominate the match (especially in the first half) but unfortunately, they don't really have a good chance. We could say Barcelona was successful with their defensive strategy because Real Madrid really became frustrated and they did not record a single shot on target throughout the match. Real Madrid still has a chance in the Second Leg, but I think it will be a tough fight because Barcelona as the host will certainly put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid.

This is an important match for Real Sociedad, because they have to go further than Atletico's pursuit, which is currently only 1 point away and if they fail to secure this match, of course this week their position will be shifted by Atletico, even if Atletico can Beat Sevilla in Sunday's match. So I think the odds are pretty good for Real Sociedad to win and it looks like they will secure 3 points at home against Cadiz.

[hahay]

Real Madrid v Barcelona in the Copa del Rey really doesn't have many goals, at least that has been reflected in the available odds but I still bet with the option of over 2.5 goals. Because after all, I expected an interesting match with lots of goals so I ignored the factors that I was aware of beforehand.

But yes, with a result like this, at least it proves that this season Barcelona really has a good defense. Because even though Real Madrid can control the game, but with the discipline of Barcelona's defense. So Real Madrid does not have the ability to convert the opportunities it has, to convert them into goals.

That's one of the qualities of a good coach, he is a good coach but then he lacks good players. I'm wowed because without some players he won Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabue. Kudos to players like, Kessie, Balde, Kounde and Araujo who all contributed to the great and solid defending and also the goal scored.

This ain't the first time Xavi has dealt with Real Madrid at that stadium though even without Barcelona. Ancellotti has work to be done else he'll be replaced. I'm not cool with Barcelona's consistency but if they sure get serious, they're winning the League.

[Jody.Drummer]

Osasuna can win in the semifinal first leg by beating Atletico Bilbao with a score of 1-0. Yes, it is a hope for them to step their feet in the final. Today it's Real Madrid's turn to face Barcelona, and this will be one of the most interesting matches because the meetings between the two clubs are always high. This El Clasico is always eagerly awaited by many people and today we will watch this game.
Oh yes they have played 2 matches this season and they shared the victory, this match will be their third meeting. So happy to see them meeting like this often.

You could call today's match a Spanish Cup final... Because either Barcelona or Real Madrid will win the final match... I think that Osasuna or Athletic Bilbao will not be able to compete with the leaders of La Liga... Even if either of them manage to win at least one game, they won't be able to win the cup... I think the winner this season will be Real Madrid...

It's very likely that something like this could really happen, but on the other hand, other conditions are actually still possible, it's just that, of all possibilities, there are indeed big club names that still have the biggest chance for it.
It's not wrong to have an opinion like this because if you look at the chances that are owned between big and small clubs then it is certain that big clubs are the first choice without the need to think about statistics or anything because the choice is certain.
