La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Docnaster]

Automatically, like it or not, Don Carlo's attention is more focused on the Champions League and he also shouldn't underestimate Liverpool. so let's look forward to when Real Madrid host Liverpool in the second leg later.

although the opportunity to catch Barcelona in La Liga is still open for Madrid. It's true, with a fairly busy schedule of matches, Madrid must be really careful with the rotation of players in their squad. or Madrid must focus on the UCL which still has a bigger chance of getting Madrid than La Liga.
Liverpool did look to rise by slaughtering United, but that will not reduce Madrid's strength when facing them in the second leg. I still support Madrid to qualify for the next round.

Real Madrid is still very much in the race to win the double titles which includes winning both the UEFA Champions League and the Spanish La Liga. Despite Barcelona's 9 point gap at the top of the league, I'm still hopeful Real Madrid possess the quality of players needed to catch up with them and win the league at the end of the season. The UEFA Champions League will be a difficult task as well but there's nothing too big in football for the Los Blancos and their quest for European success this season continues with the second leg play-off with Liverpool of which they shouldn't underate The Reds despite the result of the first leg at Anfield.

If at this time Real Madrid can be more consistent in getting wins, then I'm sure Real Madrid will still have the chance to threaten Barcelona's position at the top of the standings. But yes, because Real Madrid cannot be consistent in winning, this result will make it even more difficult for Real Madrid to catch Barcelona at the top of the La Liga standings.

Because if I compare the schedule then I think Real Madrid and Barcelona both have busy schedules, so the schedule cannot be a bad factor for their performance. Because what has made Real Madrid not so perfect this season I think is purely due to their declining performance, because Real Madrid is in a transitional period not to rely too much on old players.

Real Betis 0-0 Real Madrid
What is going on with Real Madrid these days? Their performances have been very inconsistent, which putting them in deeper trouble. There's no catching up here - they're just facing reality. The problem with Ancelotti is that he uses the same tactical approach for every game, which is now easily visible and readable by other teams. Madrid desperately needs reinforcements. I wonder why Ancelotti is finding it difficult to substitute Vini Jr and Karim Benzema when they're playing so poorly.

It's understandable that every club experiences struggles sometimes, but this is a particularly difficult period for Madrid and it seems they won't be able to bounce back this time. I mean there's nothing to do rather just watching Barca celebrate their league title.

Real Madrid are tired
last year when Barcelona was doing nothing, he was able to manage the fatigue better
this year with Barcelona pushing (and also a lot) then he finds himself in a double effort, the effort of the Champions League and La Liga
I honestly would bet everything on the Champions League, then well I'm not the coach

Betis are not an easy opponent for any team, even Barcelona or Real Madrid. They play very well at home, but also Real spent a lot of energy in the match against Liverpool. That's why they couldn't win this game. Still, it's good that they were able to pick up at least one point. I think that the coach has set a goal to rest the players before the next game in the Champions League.

Real Betis performed very well and they are much better than we could expect to see from them even though they are playing against Real Madrid as a team racing for the La Liga title. The moment when Benzema scored the first goal and it was not accepted I was thinking they are going to have an easy win against Real Betis but even after they were controlling whole the game much better than Betis they still failed to beat Betis in this game and they lost an important two points.

If we compare Barcelona's performance and Real Madrid performance this season, we will see that Barcelona is more consistent in winning matches than Real Madrid in Laliga. Barcelona is also nine points ahead from Real Madrid, which makes it clear that Barcelona has the upper hand to win the league even though they still have fourteen matches to play.

I can understand that Real Madrid is more focus on UCL,this makes it difficult for them to be serious with the Laliga matches. Their game with Betis wasn't a good result but Betis also played them with their own strategy which worked out for them. Betis is finding it's way to the UCL and they might be able to achieve this.

[Pulsar77]

The Betis v Real Madrid match ended just as I expected. Betis really made difficulties for them. They also got really big opportunities to score. Especially Iglesias couldn't benefit from a one-on-one against Courtois. Real Madrid also found so many opportunities. Valverde's rockets were impressive as usual but no goal. Rodrygo also wasted a huge opportunity by the way. Benzema could have scored a very impressive goal by a free-kick actually. But as the ball hit Rudiger's hand it was disallowed unfortunately.

This result just helped Barcelona consolidate their lead that's all. From now on I don't know how much Ancelotti can motivate his players for the La Liga title.

[Ratash]

An important game for osasuna team will be played tonight, they will face celta vigo in a home game, osasuna team will be only one point away from the sixth position if they manage to win, in the last round they managed to break the no winning streak so that will give them a moral boost, the odds for them winning are great so i think its a good bet.

In the midst of a busy match schedule, player rotation is key so that their players don't get tired. Football is a physical game and where they are not fully fit physically it will be dangerous for the team or even dangerous for the players themselves. An Ancelotti must have known this, and the staff in charge of it will do so that his team is not exhausted. But player rotation will really help them.

real betis is a team that is tough enough for barcelona and also madrid even in the last supercopa semifinals, barcelona was held to a 2-2 draw by real betis but luckily barcelona won a penalty. a draw over Madrid will be fuel for the betis squad to try to win against man utd, apart from that in last year's friendly match, betis managed to narrowly win 1-0 over man utd, it seems they will try hard to repeat that.

Once again Real Madrid lost a very valuable point for them. With the results they got in this match it was very profitable for Barcelona because again their point gap was widening. I don't care how many chances they get, as long as it doesn't change the scoreboard then they don't win, neither in this game. There's a problem when Real Madrid are in La Liga, well it's not like they're playing in the Champions League. I'm starting to think that their first priority is the Champions League. Actually that makes sense, because points away from Barcelona are very difficult to catch.

Real Madrid was already far behind Barcelona. But still, their performance is not stable in La League. The Real Madrid team is not able to close the points gap with Barcelona. This point gap is increasing. Barcelona is now 9 points ahead of Real Madrid. And it's getting harder and harder for Madrid to close the gap. I think the Barcelona team will not face any problems to win the La Liga title this season.
Real Madrid should now fully focus on the Champions League match. Madrid is an experienced team. If Benzema or Vini are not injured, Madrid has the potential to dominate the Champions League.

Real Madrid's lack of winning consistency baffles me the most; Real Madrid is losing its chance to win the Laliga title despite the fact that many people are hoping they will bounce back, but they continue to give us inconsistent performances while Barcelona is increasing the points gap between them.

Real Madrid will find it difficult to win the Laliga title, especially now that Barcelona has been eliminated from the Europa League; their main focus is now on Laliga, and they will do everything in their power to win the Laliga title.

Ancelotti did identify the problem, but he kept promising he would fight until the end of the season for the La Liga title. I'm not sure how important his promise is now because Real Madrid need points, not promises. Then Real Madrid have another difficult job waiting for them, that is because at the weekend they will play againt Espanyol.

Right now the 9 point gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is difficult for Ancelotti, but what is clear is that they have chance to reduce that point gap in the upcoming El Clasico match. If Barcelona loses, then the points will only be 6 points different, but if Barcelona wins then it will only be 12 points clear.

[shogun47]

Now Sevilla can be happy that Valencia has an away game against Barcelona and are probably going to lose it, but when you look at the table and imagine that both Valencia and Valladolid were to win their games, Sevilla would end up on position 18 in the table and their goal difference also suffered a lot today, which could play a role later towards the end of the season.

Sevilla is now just 1 point ahead of Valladolid. And if they continue this poor performance, they will soon be back in the relegation zone. I thought Sevilla's match against Atletico Madrid would be competitive. But Sevilla's performance has deteriorated so much it was beyond my imagination. They conceded 6 goals. Only two goals were conceded in the first half. And their performance in the second half was even weaker. Atlético Madrid's attack is not very strong. Even then they scored 6 goals against Sevilla. Staying out of the relegation zone has now become challenging for Sevilla.

Sevilla is completely out of control, they have been poor all season and it is always difficult to win match. Jorge Sampaoli deserved to be disappointed with the result his team got when they visited Wanda Metropolitano, the 6-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid was the least desirable thing. Until week 24, Sevilla had only made 6 wins, 7 draws and the rest lost. In fact, it will be very difficult for them to avoid the relegation zone if they don't improve their performance.
While La Liga has 14 games for Sevilla, they still have a chance to fight and survive in La Liga next season. It's difficult to expect them to win all the points available, but at least Sevilla must try their best to survive and stay away from the relegation zone.

We have seen Sevilla's poor performance since the start of the season. But now their performance has worsened. Sevilla's defence has completely collapsed. It's a shame to lose by conceding 6 goals. Also, Madrid's attack is not very strong. Sevilla conceded 6 goals due to a poor performance by their defenders. Their defence needs improvement. If the defence is weak, Sevilla will not be able to get out of the relegation zone.

Sevilla still have a chance to stay away from the relegation zone. But for that, they must perform well in the upcoming matches. But Sevilla's performance is deteriorating day by day. And if this continues, it will be difficult for Sevilla to survive in La Liga.

Well perhaps they are lucky that it happened this weekend since Manchester United has shown how you can do it even worse than Sevilla!

That's of course no explanation, but sometimes those many goals don't exactly reflect their current condition and abilities. I don't know but as I do some sports as well, I know that there are these days where everything literally collapses as you said. That doesn't have to mean that this is now the new standard how they are going to lose their games. Atletico also never scores 6 goals and this game doesn't mean they can score 6 goals again next game.

Sevilla is now under pressure because nobody wants to play international games when you lose like that in the national league. It is the worst preparation you can have.

Now they also can't only focus on the Europa League because they know that just a couple of days later their future as a La Liga club is on the line. It is going to be very interesting to see how they perform now in the Europa League.

For La Liga, Real Madrid is less likely to win the title than Barcelona.  It will be a less tiring process for Barcelona if we count the games lost by Real on top of the difference in points and their focus on the Champions league.  Real will play grueling matches in both cups.  Stress will be intense in both cups.  Real Madrid has to choose one or the other.

[Z-tight]

This result just helped Barcelona consolidate their lead that's all. From now on I don't know how much Ancelotti can motivate his players for the La Liga title.

Real madrid would not give up on the La Liga title yet, they always have that believe in them that they can come back even when they are so down, and i think that is what Ancelotti will be telling his players, it could help them to improve in the La Liga, but i don't think it will be enough for them to win it. Barcelona are now on top of La Liga with 9 points and i believe they are going to win it, all their concentration is on winning that trophy, and i believe Xavi and Barcelona are going to do it. Real madrid will not stop chasing them until the end of the season, but i don't think they can catch them, they should focus on winning the champions league back to back again.

The problem is with their condition which is still not completely good, especially in terms of productivity, this goal is a little difficult and it is not impossible that in the end they will only focus on the Champions League.
Now La Liga and the Copa del Rey are still the same enemy, namely Barcelona and they are very profitable with the current condition of Madrid.

I believe Barcelona are still very likely to lose for the rest of the season, but of course I also believe they will no longer waste their chance to stay ahead of Real Madrid in the title race.

Barcelona is the strongest team in terms of defense, it's amazing that they have only conceded 8 goals so far this season, especially in 24 matches in La Liga. I think Barcelona's stats this season are really impressive, obviously because not many other teams have been able to have the same stats in their 24 league match. Right now it is Real Madrid who are under pressure since Barcelona are 9 points ahead. But maybe it will still be reduced if in the next few matches Barcelona fails to maintain its form.

Even though Barcelona's condition with their many players who have to rest should be an opportunity for Madrid, they still have difficulties with Barcelona players, who can be said to be sober.

Betis is indeed difficult to beat this season. They have a solid defense, and can block any shot on goal. Madrid struggled to penetrate the Betis defense. If we look at the game against Madrid, I'm sure Betis can beat MU in the European league. Especially after seeing MU conceding a goal, of course the coach will see this weakness to beat MU.

[dzonikg28]

I don't think winning the La Liga title this season will be easy for Barcelona. Real Madrid's main goal is of course the Champions League title. But Ancelotti will certainly want to continue his good performances in La Liga. And Ancelotti is a very experienced coach. He knows very well how to keep the team's performance stable. Ancelotti will continue his pursuit of both the La Liga and Champions League titles unless any key Madrid player is out of the squad due to injury.
Barcelona is only 7 points ahead of Madrid. And in the last match also the Barcelona team lost against a team like Almeria. Losing points against weaker teams will make it difficult for Barcelona to win the title. Xavi should be more aware.

It is almost never easy to win the La Liga trophy, but for now it doesn't look bad but that can change quickly if they lose against Real Madrid in La Liga and also have one more accident like against Almeria, Real Madrid could be right behind them. 8 points look comfortable for now, but there are too many games to be played and it is not the time yet to say that the season is over. Now they have all the injured players as well and Real Madrid knows about it.

Honestly, I don't think Barcelona has anything to worry about even now. Because they are 7 points ahead of Real Madrid right now. Barcelona is in the first position on the table. That can easily change. If Barcelona is not careful Real Madrid can easily catch up to them.

Barcelona is not going to let the huge advantage that they have right now go away for nothing. Quite a few matches are still left. Barcelona has an advantage which is they do not have to worry about the Champions League. But Real Madrid does. Barcelona has to be consistent. If they throw away this advantage, I don't know what to say.

The first position can be deceptive at times. It is no guarantee and there are still too many games to play than to now say that Barcelona shouldn't worry, or even worry at all.

Now that Real Madrid lost two points again I think Barcelona can feel much more comfortable in their position even with the upcoming game against Real Madrid in La Liga. Now it is still 6 points even when Barcelona loses that game. When we started this convo, it was 7 points and in case of a loss would have been 4 points, which is not that much if you take into account that Barcelona can also lose games like that one against Almeria.

[ShowOff]

As long as Madrid's condition does not improve and as long as Barcelona continues to earn points, it is certain that the title this season will be theirs.
To be honest, I didn't really expect this even though in the end Barcelona won the championship, but I hope that the gap in points is not this much because this is really too big to watch.
Even though Barcelona's condition with their many players who have to rest should be an opportunity for Madrid, they still have difficulties with Barcelona players, who can be said to be sober.

This season is the opposite of last season between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Last season Barcelona fell quite a few points behind Real Madrid before Xavi took over from Ronald Koeman. Meanwhile this season, Real Madrid have been lagging behind Barcelona even though they have the chance to improve for the rest of the season.

Xavi began to get facilities, get support and spend some money to strengthen the defense and attackers. The results are very good even though Barcelona failed in Europe, but in La Liga they are the strongest team. Everyone knows how Barcelona has been this season, it really makes me feel they are back.

Some of Barcelona's advantages this season are discussed, that includes the number of clean sheets, their success in preventing opponents from scoring and shooting, and they are very strong at home. This will be an important key to winning the first La Liga title for Xavi.

Everyone can read it here - The defence continues to be key in La Liga
