La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[TopT3ns]

The La Liga is the biggest tournament Barcelona have in their hands from now on. Their main target is to win the league title no matter what and they are very good at it so far.

Their next game is going to be an away one against Athletic Bilbao. Athletic Bilbao are in bad shape so they wouldn't be a big obstacle for Barcelona. I'm just not happy with the current situation in the league. Because I was expecting to see a big fight between Barcelona and Real Madrid until the end of the season. But Barcelona look like they have finished the season early.

At least Barcelona is still at the top of the standings, and hopefully in the next match against Barcelona they can still get a win even without their flagship striker, Robert Lewandowski, who is currently still unable to contribute due to the injury he has experienced. Barcelona must maintain its position at the top of the standings in order to keep getting higher points so that it is increasingly difficult for Real Madrid to shift Barcelona from the top of the standings.

Real Madrid is number 2 in the La Liga based on detailed good performance statistics. The squad has 3 players listed in the top 10 rankings. Their next match is against Espanyol on the 11.03.2023. Real Madrid has slight advantages based on the recent match events. I believe that Real Madrid will win but we should expect a good fight from the visiting team Expanyol .

Since Real Madrid isn't performing well enough for my taste this time around in the laliga league, I can't bet on them winning their upcoming match against Espanyol. Despite the fact that Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 1-3 in their first meeting this season, I still don't have much faith in them to win this game but can win but can't predict that.

Real Madrid has been playing poorly lately, and I might be able to say that they are losing faith laliga trophy. I was expecting them to drag this La Liga league a little bit with Barcelona until the end of the season but I think they give up. Remind everyone that beating Liverpool to move on to the next round does not guarantee that they will win the Champions League. They must work extremely hard to achieve that goal, and based on their performance, I cannot make that promise.

[TopT3ns]

Indeed it benefits Barcelona. They can concentrate for the Copa Del Rey and La Liga. But if you look at Madrid's statistics, they don't actually have a lot of player options in every busy match schedule and that makes Anceloti even more of a headache.  They don't have the best quality players. It makes them struggle with a busy schedule. I think they should immediately find a target for the next transfer market. So it should be that if Real Madrid do not get an extra trophy in this season, Anceloti should still remain with Madrid not fired.

Real Madrid is in a slump because in the previous game they couldn't get a win, at least this will be a golden opportunity to maintain Barcelona position. Some of Real Madrid's quality players are currently unable to fully contribute, so that's what makes Real Madrid in this condition. Adding a new quality attacking player may be really needed to penetrate the opponent's defense.

do not underestimate Athletic Bilbao, they can surprise Barcelona for sure, but speaking on the winner of La liga, Barca seem to be so close that i could say they won it, before even the season ends, they already have a foot in and Real Madrid are not showing a good pace so far.

We didn't see many goals in yesterday's games, but there were important matches and results that will affect the course of the league. Barcelona beat Valencia 1-0 at home.  Barcelona managed to break Valencia's resistance by scoring an early goal, but couldn't reflect this in the second half. A missed penalty early in the second half and a red card afterwards left Valencia in control of the game. But Valencia couldn't find a goal and the match ended 1-0.
The other important match of the day was real Madrid, who drew away to betis. With this loss, the point difference with Barcelona increased to 9 points. It would have been better for them if they had won this match. Betis are a team in form and they play well. It was also difficult to beat them at home and real madrid couldn't do it.

Barcelona did well from this match, because Valencia players really prepared well to disgrace Barcelona by reducing their points but Barcelona coach never allow such thing to happen than to make use of the players that know how to work hard to achieve early goals to start the match. They succeeded to scored one goal in the first half that made them to do everything possible within their power to maintain the one goal till the end of the match, that made people to rate them well. Real Madrid didn't display well in the first half, because Betis players really understood the tactics Real Madrid players were using at the moment that made the match to ended up draw.

[Jody.Drummer]

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

To be honest with this there are some things that are very different from Barcelona when it comes to their era from last season and this season.
I was initially a little skeptical of what they were doing, especially with their difficult financial condition but they still forced players to spend, but even though it was risky, now they can prove that what they did was not wrong.
On the other hand, Barcelona is now well coordinated. The tiki taka scheme that has been a hallmark and lost in the Koeman era is now being returned by Xavi, which of course is something very good.

To shock a team on par Barcelona, Bilbao need something to push their spirits. The only advantage of Athletic Bilbao is that they made it to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey with three other teams including Barcelona. Will it boost their confidence? I think not because this is a Laliga match and their ambitions is not the same as when they have match in the Copa del Rey.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Barcelona did well from this match, because Valencia players really prepared well to disgrace Barcelona by reducing their points but Barcelona coach never allow such thing to happen than to make use of the players that know how to work hard to achieve early goals to start the match. They succeeded to scored one goal in the first half that made them to do everything possible within their power to maintain the one goal till the end of the match, that made people to rate them well. Real Madrid didn't display well in the first half, because Betis players really understood the tactics Real Madrid players were using at the moment that made the match to ended up draw.

The direction of the game was immediately controlled by Valencia after Barcelona played with 10 players from 59 minutes, Valencia immediately controlled the game which made the Barcelona players have to stay in their defense area to keep the goal from conceding the onslaught of Valencia players. The efforts of the Valencia players did not meet results until the game ended. Barcelona managed to secure three points which made their position even stronger at the top of the standings.
The draw that Real Madrid achieved away to Betis also benefited Barcelona. Now that the distance between the two is 9 points, Barcelona must maintain a 9 point advantage over Real Madrid to win the La Liga title this season.

Ohhhhkay, let me tell you something, Barcelona did more than just win that game, they put a spell on Valencia! Yes, you heard it here first, their coach must be a wizard or something, because he prevented the other team from even showing up! And Barcelona, they just keep getting stronger, don't they? Maybe they should teach other teams their secret potion so they can win every game without even breaking a sweat!

Armed with the H2H history of these two teams, Athletic Bilbao was slaughtered by a crushing score over Barcelona in its last two matches. however, in this fight the situation would be different. because, Barcelona will not be strengthened by the pillars of their core players. automatically, Xavi will only take advantage of the other available players. but in truth, Xavi can still rely on Raphina, Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres. meaning, Barcelona's chance is still great to overthrow the home team.

Meanwhile, Bilbao's situation is in a performance that cannot be said to be good. because, they have experienced a series of unsatisfactory results in their last three matches in La Liga. in the match later, Enesto Valverde's squad must maximize the team to get full points over Barcelona. because after all, Barcelona's current situation is not strengthened by some of their core players.

but by the way, this fight will not present an interesting match. but if Barcelona is able to get maximum points in this match. meaning, Barcelona's pace of winning trophies this season is getting wide open.

There is a chance for Lewandowski to get back on the field during the game between Barcelona and Bilbao in the next week but still, we cannot be sure about it until we see him on the field even if he returns to the game I guess he won't start the game while playing a full 90 minutes for Barcelona because of his situation, otherwise Benzema can havethe chance to get himself closer.

Benzema failed to add to his goal collection when Real Madrid against Real Betis. Benzema had scored a goal against Real Betis in the 12th minute, but the goal was disallowed because the ball had hit Antonio Rudiger hand. Lewandowski presence is a threat for Benzema to become La Liga Top Score again. Benzema performance is also not as fierce as last season, he has also been injured very often this season.
It is very interesting to see the competition between the two to become the Top Scorer this season.

It is not yet known how long Lewandowski will be absent, according to a report by one of the Spanish media Relevo, Lewandowski will be absent for approximately two weeks. The estimated time is based on the fastest time for Lewandowski to completely recover from the injury that happened to him.

[rendravolt]

Osasuna failed to win at home against Celta Vigo. As far as the match, Osasuna had completely controlled the game with 64% ball possession, but Celta Vigo's defense played pretty well and Osasuna made 5 shots on target from none of which resulted in a goal. The final result of 0-0 meant that both teams had to share 1 point in this match.

It seems to me that Benzema is missing more games this season due to injuries, which is why he is behind Lewandowski. Benzema and Lewandowski are about the same age, so their strengths can be considered approximately equal. Two weeks is not much, I wish him a speedy recovery, I doubt that Benzema will be able to score 4 goals in two weeks, and match Lewandowski.

I have just searched some records of Valencia and I couldn't see any recent records where they were able to beat Barcelona, it is either their draw or loss to Barcelona which they still repeat the same thing in their last encounter. It is going to be the first time after 13 years of Valencia going to the relegation zone, this is something I don't want to see them end up like this, 9 points from 3 matches before the end of the season will shift them out of that zone and qualufy for next season but I doubt if that will be possible because they have only win 2 matches out of the 24 played, they seriously have not been in good form.

Athletic de Bilbao started the League really well, to the point that they were in the third position of the table just before the Qatar World Cup. Their luck and performance has gotten worse since then, but Barça shouldn't underestimate a team that is known for how difficult it is to win on their field, San Mamés (aka the Cathedral).

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

I think it is likely because the number of points have increased in difference to Barcelona and now Real Madrid knows that they stand no chance to win La Liga as the number of games to be played is always smaller.That is why now they most likely will be focusing on the Champions League where so far they have been performing really well and that is why they will continue to focus only there to keep doing better and be a strong contender to the Champions League title.

For the La Liga I think Barcelona has already won the title based on the number of games left and points difference between the two teams.

Currently the point difference between the two is getting bigger while Barcelona is more focused on facing La Liga going forward, while Real Madrid are still playing in the Champions League and in the second leg they will face Liverpool at home. Speaking of opportunities, Real Madrid will find it very difficult to keep up with the current tight match, especially since the players are not in good condition with some unsatisfactory results.

Nine points difference with Barcelona at this time and mathematically Real Madrid's chances of catching up with Barcelona are far from possible, so focusing on the Champions League and not losing in La Liga is enough to close the season in runners-up.

The match was not so funny. Osasuna was dominating the match will more ball possessions combined with 5 shots on goal but i don't know what's wrong with the attacking line of osasuna. Osasuna got chances so many times but header, shooting is always aiming for the keeper. The first shot can be converted into goal one it will be controlled carefully. Osasuna's player was always trying to shoot as soon as they got the ball without trying to aim for the right target to pass the keeper.
That's very disappointing result for osasuna caused by it was losing against celta vigo which can't even make a single shot on target.

In this match, Real Madrid got a lot of chances. Benzema did score in this match from a free kick. But it got ruled out because it hit a Real Madrid player on the hand on its way to the goalpost. Real Madrid really should have been the winner in this match. I cannot say Real Madrid was unlucky. Because they got a lot of chances and honestly it was the finishing that was missing from Real Madrid.

Right now it honestly feels like the La Liga title is slipping away further and further from Real Madrid. Because Barcelona has got a really good lead right now over them.
