La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Xxmodded]

Real Madrid consistently performs well, they play with various styles and adopt the opponent's style, and dominate the match.
I love their game management. Ramos and Varane both are great defenders and their lives depend on it.
This group is the best crew ever in terms of quality and mental strength.
They never dread again their adversaries rather they retaliate and consistently demonstrate themself.

I do not agree with this stance; there is nothing to love about Madrid and zidane game management this season; it has been inconsistent and lackluster at the best. With Ramos and Varane causing the team different losses this season already.

I think Zidane needs to adopt and select a match day squad that is fit and can grind out results; instead of fielding hazard, kroos, varane who are not offering anything different.

You are right this season Real Madrid is not showing the same performance as compare with the last season. They need to make new game plan and strategy to get back on the winning track and path to the golden road to win the trophy of this season. I hope in coming days we will see much better game from them.

Not only Real Madrid, Barcelona is also playing very badly in this season. I think both of them should change their game strategy. Real Madrid's has only  one skilled striker , he is Benzema. I think they need one more skilled striker.

But Real Madrid still better than Barcelona have got three time loss in this season and Messi not get touch with good performance, maybe both team faced difficulty because took off a lot of players like Ivan Rakitic, Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal but Barcelona not getting new player based on the position left by many player take off to other club, for forward after Luis Suarez sold to Atletico Madrid Barcelona failed to bring Mephis Depay and not new player on Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal position. This why Barcelona have bad result from eight game this season and they have on twelve position.

Your right. Real Madrid inconsistency is nothing encourageable and Zidane seems a bit out of strategy this time. Seeing Real Sociedad topping the league at this level of games points out the fact that, Real Madrid and Barcelona has lost it as per it's squad and management which should be looked into.

As for Eden Hazard and Toni Kroos, they seem to be doing quite well as far as I can tell. I don't see anyone to give better crossing as much as Kroos does in Madrid although, his got Luka Modric to contend with and Hazard on his part has been a way due to injury for a while though, his first game was really home welcoming but, he's still need sometime to get back to the game and his team mates quite well, following the current state of the team.
Compared to Barcelona, Real Madrid is doing great and I still see them topping the laliga table again.

But Real Madrid still better than Barcelona have got three time loss in this season and Messi not get touch with good performance, maybe both team faced difficulty because took off a lot of players like Ivan Rakitic, Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal but Barcelona not getting new player based on the position left by many player take off to other club, for forward after Luis Suarez sold to Atletico Madrid Barcelona failed to bring Mephis Depay and not new player on Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal position. This why Barcelona have bad result from eight game this season and they have on twelve position.

It all started with Koeman coming as coach. Many of the key players were sacked as you might have said, but no substitute was worth it. Griezmann turned out not to be what was expected even though he also contributed to the team. What I regret the most is why Suarez had to be sold, even though Suarez is better for the team than Griezmann. A very fragile defense make Barcelona concede goals more and more, the tandem between Pique and Lenglet in the defensive midfield look no longer strong. Barcelona must improve on all fronts, but the club's economic crisis will likely make things more difficult.

[imutlinda]

I am really curious how Barcelona will solve this. And then you also hear the coach say that he has no doubts. But it is 12th on the list, laughable actually.
They are closer to relegation football than championship

Real Madrid's has only  one skilled striker , he is Benzema. I think they need one more skilled striker.

Real Madrid have a couple of good strikers. These are Jovic and Mariano. But unfortunately, Zidane for some reason does not trust them. In my opinion, if given a chance, they could surpass Benzema. But I'm not Zidane.

let's be real here for a second, both Jovic and Mariano are not that good, i think iranus is right, Benzima is the only good striker RMA have
they should really consider bringing some quality players to the team.

NO. Jovic and Mariano are good strikers, but they need more time to be consistent strikers. They are good but mostly the problem is inconsistency in performance. It is normal, they are young strikers. But Real Madrid plays in the competitive league, also play in the highest football competition (champions league). Of course, Real Madrid needs some experienced strikers who can play consistently and knows how to make differences during the crucial match.

I agree that Jovic and Mariano are good strikers, they just need to be given more chances to play. Because each player has different
adaptability, for Benzema to play better and more consistently because he is an experienced player. So mentally Benzema is better
than Jovic and Mariano, and I don't think Real Madrid need more strikers. Real Madrid just need to add more hours to play for Jovic
and Mariano, I believe in the ability of these two players.

Lol that's true. It's seems zidane had a trust issue. You can't treat players like that, it's just ruining their career... Just like bale. He was a great player until zidane had a petsonal problem with him and look how's he playing with tottenham? He's sucks. His career successfully ruined by this bald guy.

The same thing could happened to jovic and mariano if the situation continue, there might be a cold war in the dressing room. Zidane has come too far away treating players like that. Give them a chance like putting them in the starting line up for 10 consecutive matches and see how's the result. Like lampard giving a chance to tammy, he's super confident now to score goals.

Don't forget that Barca is missing two additional games. La Liga is a puzzle for the moment with teams played 8 or 9 or even 10 games..
So winning those 2 matches will make Barca side to side with Real Madrid but the latter is missing also 1 game...
Sevilla position can be modified considerably also later and ATM can run with 3 points from Sociedad assuming getting all points from missing games.
Just to say that there is still hopes for Barca but if they resume winning again

Barcelona looks not smart when buying and selling player in this season, how come great player like Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez sell with cheapest price but exactly three players above have good quality right now, Actually Luis Suarez on fire with Atletico Madrid but Barcelona made mistake by sell him. I think Griezman, Dembele and Ansu Fati is not enough for Barcelona right now because they can complicated like Suarez where playing well done as Messi tandem or Griezman. When financial crisis for Barcelona they have any ideas with who have to sell right now remember with Messi become free player at the next window transfer.

And why is it better? Benzema needs at least three attempts to score a goal. Benzema is better at playing along. He is not a clean striker. Jovic is a clean striker who ends an attack. Mariano is better at heading, he has higher speed and more desires.

The truth is that Madrid troubles and performances are related to Poor form and massive lack of creativity. Poor form to modric, kross, injury to valverde; por form to their back line; misfiring hazard; lacklustre vincius are reasons why madrid has struggled.

Why Benzema starts? Benzema starts not only because he is experienced, but because he is the only Madrid striker that can link up play, and progress the ball comfortably; his goals and assist records backs that up. Jovic lacks a goal in a long time; while Mariano has a goal since march 2020.

The main things is that, Real Madrid need a skilled striker now. Though Benzama can score regularly, but he is not a good striker like Ronaldo, Messi or Neymar. Even I think Suarez is more better than Benzama. Real Madrid is a big team in La Liga. We always expect more from them. But the current Real Madrid team is not meeting our expectations. We don’t want to be disappointed by watching their game. Because we love them.

The match between Atletico and Barcelona showed very well the main problem of Barcelona this season.
Barcelona players just don't have enough self-confidence, and when they conceded a goal they were too scared to try anything and change the score.
With this approach, Barcelona players have no chance to do anything worthwhile this season.

Why do you look like underestimate the quality of Benzema as a striker? Don't you realize that he has a very important role on the front line of Real Madri? IMO, by scoring regularly, it is more than enough as the proof that Benzema is a good striker. Even he never won prestigious individual awards like Ronaldo, Messi or Neymar but he deserves to call as one of best striker in the world. AFAIK, Benzema is one of the strikers who can play consitently so far.

I think the main problem of Barcelona team is their match strategy. We all know there are a lot of internal strife within their team. Almost all the players are a bit angry on the board. But still I think their playing strategy in La Liga should be change. They have not lost a single match in the Champions League, but they have failed miserably in La Liga. They are also losing against easy opponents. I hope that, if they can change the strategy of the game, Barcelona will be able to come back in the top 3 teams in La Liga.

I underestimate Benzama because no other world-class player misses so many chances to score. Mbappe has not won any awards personally, but still I think he plays much better than Benzama. I don't think Benzama is as perfect as the main striker. Real Madrid are in dire need of another talented and skiled world class striker.

Benzema is good in term of goals and assists, he missed many opportunities indeed just like many forwarders. The only difference is that he plays in Real Madrid and not in any ordinary club where he could be the hero and barely the only one scoring. Overall, his skills dropped compared to the last year and so Real Madrid and many other clubs this season..

Yeah, it is my point. He does not play in any small team. Real Madrid is a big team and a world famous team. If he played in a small team, he could only be a hero by scoring goal.No one likes to miss any goal in a big team like Real Madrid.
