La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hd49728]

Barcelona's defense in La Liga has been very strong and tight this season, it is very hard for many teams to score a goal against Barcelona, in the La Liga Barcelona have conceded only 8 goals, no club in La Liga has conceded as low as that, even Real madrid have conceded 19 goals.

They have good defense system in La Liga but it is contributed by their strong midfielders as well. Those two systems (defense and midfield) are helpful for Barcelona to have great ball possession that eliminate most of risk to their goalkeeper and both contributed to impressive stats for their club in La Liga with only 8 conceded goals.

When Barcelona have to move to Europe to play in Champions League and Europa League, their young players are no longer be able to maintain similar dominating ball possession. Consequently their goalkeeper has to face with more attacking risks from opponents and they have more conceded goals as well as lost matches in Europe.

Barcelona are not only strong in defense, but also in attack as they have scored 47 goals, only Real Madrid have scored more than them and they have scored 50 goals. I feel Barcelona are so ready to win the La Liga this season, they are strong in both attack and when they are defending too, they have a 9 points gap and i trust them to hold their lead until the league is over.

Barcelona have better results than Real Madrid in La Liga even they have less goals than Real Madrid. They are more sustainable with performance and better collecting points from other clubs. Real Madrid played not too bad but they can win big but have disappointed draws as well. Real Madrid failed to score a single goal to win some matches that all made them have 9 points less than Barcelona on the table.

Another important win for Barcelona against atleteco belbao, the win wasn't easy and belbao really did a very good second half, they even scored a goal but unfortunately iniaki Williams touched the ball with his hand, Barcelona team is running straight to the trophy and i think it's really hard for Madrid to catch them now

Barcelona won this victory with difficulty, this is an important point for them to keep their distance from Real Madrid.
it is undeniable that if Barcelona continues to be consistent, it is very likely that they will get the La Liga trophy, a difference of 9 points is not an easy thing to chase, especially Real Madrid is still not consistent.
but I think that Barcelona's success this season, which until now still leads the temporary La Liga standings, cannot be separated from Real Madrid's poor performance this season so that this is being put to very good use by the Barcelona team.

In less than an hour the match between Atletico Bilbao will start soon. In this match, Barcelona had the opportunity to widen their points gap again with Real Madrid, in which in this week's match they were able to win the match and win again after their last 2 matches ended in a draw. But it's not an easy task for Barcelona to be able to win in this match, because Atletico Bilbao is also not a team that can be underestimated, moreover they will play this game at home which will motivate them even more to win, even if they don't win at least 1 point they can get .
In the match that just ended, Villarreal shared points with Real Betis.

Actually Athletic Bilbao is not in good condition at the moment. We can see from the history of Bilbao's matches that in recent weeks they haven't won their victory again. they keep losing. And finally they were able to get a draw against Rayo. so that Barcelona in this match should really be the underdog. and the game has just started.

The match met everyone's expectations because indeed Barcelona managed to get back 3 points in this match, even though the current conditions were only a 1 goal win but still this was a win for them.
Now the Gap is still the same as its strongest competitor, namely Madrid and this is a good thing for Barcelona even though in some conditions now Internal problems are starting to come upon several accusations directed at Barcelona.

Athletic Club Bilbao is always a team that makes it difficult for Barcelona in every match. Barcelona's 0-1 win at San Mames Barria last night seemed to confirm that to be true.
Although it was a tight game, Barcelona managed to get an important point to secure their championship path this season.

There were plenty of chances that could have been goals, but ter Stegen did well to keep Barcelona from conceding.
From the video highlights, Barcelona performed with their usual style of play and almost all the players performed well only constrained by the final finish.

Athletic Bilbao were no weak opponents. Bilbao was expected to try their hardest to get points against Barcelona. Athletic Bilbao's performance was very good. And I would say very lucky that they managed to get 3 points in this match. Although Barcelona had 37% of the ball possession, Bilbao's players made a total of 15 shots in this match. On the other hand, Barcelona made 10. Barcelona's defense was very strong. Also, Ter Stegen played very well in this match. However, I expected a good performance from Lelandowski in this match. Lewandowski's performance was not good.

Now the Gap is still the same as its strongest competitor, namely Madrid and this is a good thing for Barcelona even though in some conditions now Internal problems are starting to come upon several accusations directed at Barcelona.

One goal that Barcelona scored against Bilbao made Barcelona manage to earn three points while at the same time keeping the distance from Real Madrid, who became its closest competitor. Bilbao defended well in this match, several attempts made by Barcelona could not penetrate the solid defense built by Bilbao.

After Raphinha gave an advantage at the end of the first half, Barcelona were still trying to find additional goals in the second half. Not a single goal was created in the second half, Bilbao occasionally tried to build attacks to equalize, but every opportunity they got could not be put to good use.

Having a 9 point lead over Real Madrid is very profitable for Barcelona for the next few matches, Barcelona is still firmly at the top of the standings without having to be pressured. This victory is a good capital for Barcelona who will face Real Madrid in the next match, while Real Madrid must face Liverpool in the UCL second leg before continuing an important match entitled El Clasico.

[Bobrox]

Indeed Barcelona victory against Athletic Bilboa not easy but three points achievement make them keep comfortable on first standing position and enjoyed with La Liga tittle race from Real Madrid behind 9 points left. Barcelona have quit well performance than Real Madrid in La Liga despite have losing tittle chance in Champion League or Europe League but winning La Liga tittle in this season seems enough how to answer public's doubt with Xavi reputation.

Up coming next games become important for Barcelona because against Real Madrid and could be start for getting La Liga tittle in this season, winning on el clasico match make Barcelona close with La Liga tittle after waiting more than four years.

Backwards...
Barcelona controlled 63% ball possession and Athletic Club Bilbao 37% based on match statistics.
It would be inaccurate if the victory obtained by Barcelona was called due to the luck factor because they worked hard so that 3 points could be obtained.

Athletic Club Bilbao also tried not to lose points with the various efforts they made throughout the match. Maybe their statistics for 90 minutes of normal time will give you an idea, starting from the number of shoots to the percentage of duels won, including successful dribbles.

Oh sorry but it's easy with just one commitment (La Liga)
think that Real Madrid not only have to face La Liga with Barcelona revived, but also have the cup commitment that drains a lot of energy
and you can't invent this one

Yes, it is easy that way to be committed in just one, that new Barcelona is no doubt a tough one for Real Madrid in acquiring Lewandowski and right now Robert Lewandowski is getting used to his role and fitting little by little with Barcelona's gameplay, at 1st it is sure a struggle for him to fit in and know his role in the team because he is not accustomed to each player position I think every player would have this kind of situation they surely need to build chemistry within the team, and this is what is happening now, for me the chance for Barcelona in getting the championship this season are so much higher now, there is no room for error now,


For the upcoming game tomorrow here is my pick

Girona FC VS Atletico Madrid

The stake odds for this game are 3.70 for Girona 3.45 for a draw and 2.09 for Atletico, right now Alexander Callens, Yangel Herrera, and Ibrahima Kebe can not play for the Girona FC, and Yan Couto is doubtful if he's going to play, while Reinildo Mandava, Sergio Reguilón, and Rodrigo De Paul can not play for the Atletico Madrid, for this game all injuries surely is not crucial players and surely Atletico Madrid is doing fine with their position while Girona isn't really that great with so this surely Atletico Madrid is pretty much the favorite to win here, so my pick is the Atletico Madrid,

Congratulations to Barcelona for the three points they got from Athletic Bilbao, despite some attack challenge they experienced from the match but they still do everything possible within their skills to defeated Athletic Bilbao 1-0 to maintain their position in the la Liga league table. I don't think, Real Madrid will be able to take over this position from Barcelona till the end of this tournament because their coach performance in this season showed that they will embrace this title in this tournament. Athletic Bilbao performed well in the second half, because they tried their possible best to equalize the goal but Barcelona defenders never allow such thing to happen till the end of the match.

They did lose to possession but in terms of opportunities I really liked what they did.
Barcelona won as expected but the performance was not good I think in this game and talking about their gap with Madrid now it is quite clear the difference and I hope there will be more competition in the future because indeed this gap is too big for an easy competition.

On the one hand, we also seem to be presented with El Clasico for the second leg of Madrid and Barcelona.

They are currently playing on the edge when they just score one goal, it is risky because you have to be afraid to concede one until the very last moment. But they are consistent in their defense and confident enough to win it that way. But I must say that it is not as spectacular to watch Barcelona play as it used to be quite a while ago.

The times when they win their games with 5-0 seem to be over. They rely much more on their defensive performance. They have been patient in their game, but they had more power offensively. Now it is control and less risk in the last third of the field.

What are your guesses for the upcoming game against Real Madrid? If Real Madrid loses it and Atletico wins their game, they could even make up a few points and perhaps compete for the second spot in the table.

For the upcoming game tomorrow here is my pick

Girona FC VS Atletico Madrid

The stake odds for this game are 3.70 for Girona 3.45 for a draw and 2.09 for Atletico, right now Alexander Callens, Yangel Herrera, and Ibrahima Kebe can not play for the Girona FC, and Yan Couto is doubtful if he's going to play, while Reinildo Mandava, Sergio Reguilón, and Rodrigo De Paul can not play for the Atletico Madrid, for this game all injuries surely is not crucial players and surely Atletico Madrid is doing fine with their position while Girona isn't really that great with so this surely Atletico Madrid is pretty much the favorite to win here, so my pick is the Atletico Madrid,

Talking about Atletico they come to this match after humiliated Sevilla with huge scores 6-1 and i think they are in the full of motivation to earn 3 points from this match especially Atletico has unbeatable in the last 9 matches in Laliga and Girona condition actually isn't really bad because at least before this match they can win from Almeria and Bilbao before defeated Getafe last week

Nahuel Molina will return to the squad after suspension and this will increase the strength of Atletico defensive lines because so far he can performing well as right back and after scores 2 goals in the last match i think Morata should be played since early minutes and for bet option i have to agree with you that pick Atletico win seem good choice

On the one hand, we also seem to be presented with El Clasico for the second leg of Madrid and Barcelona.

Barcelona wins again thanks to good defensive play, well a 9 point gap remains ahead of El Clasico but Baselona is again the favorite for the bookmakers in this match, 2.1 and 3.35 at Real Madrid. So I don't know how many chances Real will have in this match and in general it is difficult for Real to beat Barcelona this season, they beat them just in La Liga 3-1 and after that there was a defeat in the Super Cup and in the cup match. But if Real Madrid still manages to reduce the gap to 6 points, it will already look somehow more real, and if Barcelona wins, then most likely they will not miss their chance.

Christensen, Kounde and the rest of the entire defense did good to win finally
Xavi is very happy for De Jong after the game, he has been so committed to Barcelona
Winning la liga would be such a big dream for them all

[3meek]

Atletico Madrid have a good chance of securing a place in the Champions League zone tonight should they beat Girona... But Girona have been playing well at home recently... Knowing how Atletico sometimes lose points in matches like this, I'll assume both teams will score today, but I still think Atletico should win...

[slapper]

Another important win for Barcelona against atleteco belbao, the win wasn't easy and belbao really did a very good second half, they even scored a goal but unfortunately iniaki Williams touched the ball with his hand, Barcelona team is running straight to the trophy and i think it's really hard for Madrid to catch them now

What a match! Athletic Club Bilbao is one heck of a team to beat, but boy oh boy, Barcelona managed to do it with a 1-0 victory! My goodness, I was at the edge of my seat the entire game, especially during the second half when Bilbao was putting on the heat, I mean really giving Barcelona a run for their money!

It's absolutely fantastic to witness Barcelona leading the pack towards the championship this season. My Madrid may try to play catch up, but with the way Barcelona is playing, it's going to be a real uphill battle.

Barcelona played with their typical style and nearly every player performed tremendously. I was particularly blown away by ter Stegen's top-notch performance as the goalkeeper - he truly saved Barcelona from conceding.

I knew it won't be easy for Barcelona, athletic bilbao will do them tough. Barcelona are so lucky to get 3 point from the game to go more ahead of Real Madrid. Barcelona are close to winning the league which they need to remain consistent to make it possible  and hard not to allow real madrid to meet them up.

[makishart]

Barcelona didn't have their best game maybe but it was still enough for a victory against Athletic Bilbao by 1-0.

To be honest how many goals being made by barcelona doesn't matter a lot anymore. The main aim is about how to win the game. 1-0 is good enough for barcelona caused by it was able to taking the full points against bilbao. Xavi has been putting its focus to the la liga. Xavi's target is not making the big scores as many as possible. The win against another team was just making even closer to the trophy. I think that score was not important anymore. Club's achievemend will be the first priority by xavi.

I was expecting Lewandowski to score as well but he didn't. Instead Raphinha was the savior of the team there. Barcelona were just having problems with finding the target as there were only 2 shots on target in the whole game. Their opponent had so many opportunities as well but they were lacking in finishing. Barcelona had better improve this game a little more if they want to win more comfortably. After the Valencia game this was another one they couldn't have full control.

Since raphinha was consistently become savior for the club and i wonder whether barcelona is still trying to sell him in upcoming season? Im a bit curious about that since it has been rumored that if raphinha and ansu fati will be kicked from al liga as soon as possible.

Even chelsea was also monitoring him right now.

Raphinha is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League sides Chelsea and Newcastle amid an impressive run of form at Barcelona.
