La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[LUCKMCFLY]

Actually, Real Madrid is not performing very well in La Liga. But so far, the team has great potential, as Real Madrid is ahead of the rest of the teams in La Liga.

Real Madrid is a team that has many Aces up its sleeve, they also have Ancelotti who is a great strategist and that is something that has a lot of influence. In my personal opinion, Real Madrid has been closing the gap with respect to Barcelona, Barcelona in the League has to do well because otherwise it would be the last straw, I am not going to say that they have messy fútbol, but it is not enough fútbol to be in the most demanding leagues, in the Europa League they were kicked out and even so they have a Lewa that things really don't go well for them, that must affect him a lot as a player, but I think that Barcelona, despite their results, lacks a lot.

Eden Hazard's problem at Real Madrid did not only occur this season because in reality, Eden Hazard's move to Real Madrid was a very wrong choice. Because at Real Madrid it was as if Eden Hazard had lost his magic on the field, so that from the beginning Eden Hazard played at Real Madrid until now, in fact, Eden Hazard has only played a few times.

So, as long as Eden Hazard wears the Real Madrid jersey, it is an unresolved problem, because apart from frequent long-term injuries, Eden Hazard's performance has also declined greatly. So I think it's only natural that every Real Madrid coach never chooses Eden Hazard as a key player or as a main player, that was a very bad decline because Eden Hazard at Chelsea was always a key player in every game at that time at Chelsea.

It was basically the money he was offered as a salary that caused all this trouble. When a player is making a huge amount of money in a club, and even if he plays bad or even if he isn't played, it is highly unlikely for him to leave because that means he is still making a lot of money.

Why go to a worse team and get paid a lot less, less than half maybe? Because he played very badly and that means no great team would offer him the same amount of money, so he stayed and didn't play and still made his money, that is more than enough for the player, and terrible thing for the team of course. They had the same situation with Bale up until very recently as well.

Well, if we start comparing salaries, I don't think that the salary of a player at Real Madrid is higher than at Al-Nassr, however,a player like Hazard is always needed in any team, I understand that the performance that Hazard has He is low, but how can he be high if he hardly ever comes in to play, also they have not left this player, and it must be for a reason, the injury problem is like the case of PSG with Ney, they are already things that escape out of hand because they are players who are not to blame, it can happen to anyone.

Carlo Ancelotti comments on Eden Hazard's Real Madrid future amid Aston Villa transfer link

Carlo Ancelotti would not confirm whether or not Eden Hazard will still be at Real Madrid next season after the winger was linked with a move to Aston Villa.

The Belgian player moved to the Spanish capital from Chelsea in 2019 for a transfer fee of around £103.5 million, rising to just over £140million when other costs are accounted for. It was a dream move for the 32-year-old at the time, but his spell at the club has been dogged by fitness issues and a lack of game time.

With just over a year left on Hazard's contract, speculation over his future is growing. Last November it was reported that Villa were interested in signing the two-time Premier League winner ahead of the January transfer window.

But Neymar is a different topic. In contract to Hazard, Neymar is also important to PSG for publicity, merchandise sales and public attention in general. Not that many people are still interested in what Hazard is doing. Perhaps he could get back into public focus if he scores a couple of important goals, but frankly speaking it doesn't seem to be very likely that that is going to happen anytime soon. In almost four years Hazard played 51 games for Real Madrid and only scored four goals. That is quite poor for an offensive midfielder with his dribbling and scoring qualities. Now that he is 32, he said he wants to fulfill his contract until Summer 2024 and that is the smartest thing he can do. He is very well paid, makes about 20 million GBP per season and once his contract expires he can take the offer with the biggest hand money as that goes straight into his pockets and it will be juicy since the new club doesn't have to pay a transfer fee.

In terms of salaries being paid at Real Madrid, they are paying a lot of money to their players, but Al Nassr doesn't have to care about money whatsoever. But indeed the case with Ronaldo is surreal if you look at the following overview:



That is just insane! The difference within the squad due to Ronaldo.

Well, the truth is that what you say is very correct, for me Ney apart from the fact that being one of the very good players represents a great milestone to make money in marketing, I think he is among the best in the world, and that is something it's worth it, having someone like Ney even though his ankle is very weak is something that can be advantageous, for example the "noodle" Dimaria who is a player who gets injured from nothing, because he is a very skinny player, but when he is plugged in with the goal things look different and that is what matters because he is someone who makes a difference, being at PSG the income will always be very high.

They've spent so much that if they didn't become champions this season there would have been a huge wreck to save the club. I can say that the latest El-Clasico has guaranteed this championship, as the championship is now guaranteed. There are enough points difference. It is very difficult for Real Madrid to catch up from behind. Barcelona took a lot of risks at the beginning of the season, but we can say that it was worth it. With one or two right changes on this lineup, we will see a very high-level Barcelona next season.

I still believe Real Madrid have the ability to make a great comeback. Even though Barcelona beat Real Madrid in El Clasico, I still think this Real Madrid team will be the biggest obstacle for Barcelona to win the La Liga title.

with only 12 matches remaining, the consistent performance shown by Barcelona and the point difference between Madrid and Barcelona is quite far (reaching 12 points) so there is little chance for Madrid to be able to win first place from Barcelona, Madrid's focus at this time is enough to win the Champions League and the copa del rey because both of them are still very possible for madrid to get.

Isn't it very interesting that the probability of winning the Copa Del Rey and the Champions league is stronger than the probability of winning the league? Normally it should be more difficult to reach the UCL championship, but for Real Madrid it is not so difficult. Especially when he was so close to making it to the semi-finals when he had a nice draw. Barcelona is doing very well in La Liga, but the real goal for Real is to reach the trophy in UCL. Ancelotti is truly a top coach.

In that you are absolutely right, in particular Real Madrid is the team that has the best chance of obtaining the most important titles, of course the League is a bit far away but it is not impossible, the numbers are achievable, only not anymore they can neither draw nor lose anymore, if Barcelona fails they can be sure that Madrid will catch up with them, I am also aware that Barcelona is desperate to at least win the League, because they have lost everything, they were knocked out of the Europa League and various competitions important, Madrid is a possible candidate to win the UCL, so the difference is enormous.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Fair is fair, Barcelona could also use this success with the form of the national championship. In recent years they have had to leave the titles to Real and also to Atletico Madrid. No one could have imagined that it would be this easy this season. It is a very annoying year, especially for Seville, but they are still active in the EL. Still, I don't give them much of a chance there as they are drawn against Manchester United, but you don't know. It is impossible for Sevilla to have another goal in the league, even if they win everything then qualifying for the EL will be very difficult.

[nara1892]

With the points that Barcelona has, it feels like this will be very easy to control. The opportunity for Madrid to catch up is also getting further away, so Xavi and his squad will play a little and control the situation in order to keep his players from getting injured.

At the moment, with a 12-point lead, they are comfortable and only need to secure 8 out of 12 matches that will be done, which is enough for them. Actually, with their current condition, the title this season is right in front of their eyes, especially with the remaining matches this season, only Atletico are really troublesome, the rest are only a few small clubs, but of course that cannot be underestimated.
On the other hand, their focus now really has to be on the CDR, I think because with them focusing on the second leg apart from this being an advantage for them, this can also add to Madrid's suffering because they have managed to secure all competitions in the domestic area even though the final has not yet taken place in CDR.

[Slow death]

If Barcelona are consistent with their performances, Real Madrid must give up the title for Barcelona and they must be prepared to congratulate their rivals.

in the last 5 games, barcelona lost in only 1 game, they are performing well, but barcelona's biggest problem is no longer in defense, now they still have the problem in attack, in the last games barcelona hardly managed to score 2 goals, the worrying part is that they manage to create many opportunities to score goals, but they just fail, if barcelona didn't have good defense they wouldn't be at the top, I think with so many good players they have, they should be able to score a lot goals, so far I'm thinking about whether to bet on them or not, with the low odd value I can only add them to my parlay, I'm only worried if they'll even manage to score a goal and win

Unfortunately this season has been a failure for Real Madrid

real madrid is still in the champions league and in the copa del rey so it's not been a bad season mainly because real madrid won everything big last season with most of the current players, i.e. real madrid is making good profits because it hasn't yet needed to make big investments in buying players, not just any team can do what real madrid is managing to do, in my opinion real madrid is not bad this season, of course winning again in la liga would be a good thing

[SquallLeonhart]

However, if Real Madrid fails in the Copa del Rey then it looks like this season will be a season of failure for Real Madrid who has the chance not to win any trophies this season. But yes, because Real Madrid is king, then of course Real Madrid will still be the favorites to win the title, whether in the Copa del Rey or in the Champions League but at this moment not with La Liga.

In the Copa del Rey, Barcelona has won 1-0, of course it is an important capital for Barcelona. But the Champions League, if you can win against Chelsea, then Real Madrid will face one of the best clubs this season, Man City or Bayern. So the chance to get the UCL trophy is also very small. Yes, it's possible as you said that Real Madrid will fail to win a trophy this season. And this will be a bad season for Real Madrid.

I see Carlo preparing young players for next season. He always puts young players first in every game. Even Toni Croos often sits on the bench. He always put Camaviga first, even though the midfield was often locked.

Maybe they can spend a single year without any cup at all? I mean that's not really a terrible thing neither, we are talking about Real Madrid here, they won so much in the past 5 years or so, just the fact that they have 4 UCL in such a small amount of time frame, in what 6 or 7 years or something? That alone is great and gives them a chance to just let it be. They can be bad this season, be gone out of UCL in semi finals, be second in the league and win nothing at all.

That's good enough if you ask me, I do not think that there is a need for anyone to be really working towards winning anything more. Just focus on the next year and be better next year, it is not a terrible to have just a single season with nothing.

[BITCOIN4X]

With the points that Barcelona has, it feels like this will be very easy to control. The opportunity for Madrid to catch up is also getting further away, so Xavi and his squad will play a little and control the situation in order to keep his players from getting injured.

Barcelona's fate this season is not much different from what was experienced by Arsenal, both of them tried to get up with the formation of young players, and both Xavi and Arteta managed to fulfill their desire in securing a trophy. Elche will not threaten Barcelona's defense too much with the track record of meeting the two on paper even before the match Barcelona had won a landslide victory.

Now Xavi can breathe easy because Barcelona has controlled the standings with 12 points advantage. Of course it is a very great achievement after the previous season so far away from Real Madrid, but things have changed for Barcelona this season.

I am stunned by Barcelona's defense this season, they have only conceded 9 goals in 26 matches. That's a really great thing to prove to the world even though Barcelona is in trouble with its finances. Xavi will likely aim for 100 points as a finish to complete his title this season, but I don't think it will be easy. About Elche, I think Barcelona will win and keep a clean sheet.

[emrecemsan]

Every remaining match is quite challenging for Sevilla to tell the truth. Because they are having a terrible season and it is just very difficult to be confident about a win for them in a match. Cadiz are normally not a team that are even close to their level but now they are really. It is like they have the same points in the standings now and they both have the same goal which is to cling to the La Liga this season. Sevilla are still ahead of them with their squad quality on paper.

However I'm feeling sure about one thing and it is that they will still have serious difficulties in this match. Cadiz are a team that like to benefit from such weaknesses. They haven't lost a league match for 4 weeks also. Sevilla had better be extra careful.

Most of Cadiz's matches ended in draws that week and that proves that their defense is very solid at the moment. Moreover, Cadiz is the favorite to play at home and that makes Sevilla quite doubtful about being able to steal points in the match later. What is certain is that these two teams can be said to be very evenly matched, it is possible that if the result does not end in a draw, then there will be one team that will win this match with a narrow victory.

well you can breathe
if he didn't have something to do with La Liga at least he said he would go home instead of to the stadium to be the manager of Barcelona
happy for him, Real Madrid wisely dedicated themselves to the cup

[snipie]

This round there is two interesting matches between top teams which are : ATM - Betis and Villarreal - Real Sociedad.
Well for the first game, ATM are playing home and are favourite. The stability of the two teams is comparable with a slight advantage for ATM regarding their latest games.
In the second match, Villarreal are a little bit favourite as far as I saw in bookies even though Sociedad is a serious opponent and the result is quite hazardous in this match in my opinion.

[kawetsriyanto]

Barcelona will play 6 home matches from the remaining 12 matches, fortunately the matches against strong teams like Atletico Madrid, Real Betis and Real Sociedad all took place at Camp Nou. This season Barcelona has always performed well when playing at home, the last El Clasico match that made Real Madrid lose three points was also presented at Camp Nou.

It's hard to expect Barcelona to lose 12 points in the remaining matches, especially since Barcelona players are currently very motivated to win the La Liga trophy after being eliminated in the Europa League. Barcelona players are also trying to pay tribute to Xavi, winning La Liga marking Xavi success as a coach just starting his career in Europe. I think La Liga will belong to Barcelona after Real Madrid's chances are very small due to being 12 points behind, Real Madrid can shift its focus to the Champions League.

I agree that Barcelona seems impossible to lose 12 points, they are getting stronger toward the end of the season. Real Madrid could defeat them at the beginning of the season, but Barcelona is superior to Real Madrid nowadays. In the last El Classico, it is clear that Barcelona is stronger than Real Madrid now. There are many factors that make Barcelona stronger, their big motivation to win the trophy and played more solidly are 2 biggest reasons. I appreciate that Xavi can improve the mentality of Barcelona players.

Well, the remaining big matches will be held in Camp Nou, so it gives a big advantage to Barcelona. They rarely get a loss at home, so we can assume they will win the match or get a draw. Since Barcelona only focus on La Liga and they have big motivation, I think they may win all the remaining home matches.

[makishart]

Yes, I also hope that Barcelona will end the Copa del Rey soon, so that the free time for LaLiga will be fuller. And Real Madrid should be able to help end Barcelona in the Copa del Rey. But if that can't be done by Real Madrid, of course they have to be willing and immediately congratulate Barcelona.

It feels like that if barcelona had bigger chance to win copa del rey. The problem is one of important player of barcelona may not able to play like gavi. There are some players that are still getting injured. Real madrid needs to work even harder as it was losing 1-0 as aggregate toward barcelona. The next game gonna be played in the camp nou. Im little doubt if real madrid will able to make its comeback against barcelonma. I know that if the situation will push the mentality from real madrid to be even stronger but it seems like that xavi already anticipated it through use the fully defensive strategy.
Barcelona is in the next way to get another trophy. There are three trophies in total that can be won by barcelona at this moment.

Xavi will not miss such opportunity caused by he needs to proves that if he is still reliable enough to be a coach for barcelona at this moment. Sad dembele and gavi may absent from against madrid.

[Rengga Jati]

well you can breathe

Yeah, at least, Xavi must save Barcelona to get  1 trophy from La Liga. Their failure in the Champion league and also UEFA EuropeLeague was really hurting, moreover, he has big expectations about it. But all have been ended. And now they must focus on La Liga, the next big expectation, then followed by Copa Del Rey. They also have the chance.
And for Real Madrid, yeah, they must focus more on the Champions League UCL, because it seems to be impossible to take over Barcelona in the first standing in La Liga. The point has differed so much.

Yes, Xavi must prove his capacity as a coach by giving the main title to Barcelona. But it looks like this season is really very relieved with his team. This season he has successfully won the Spanish Super Cup by beating Real Madrid in the final. In La Liga 90% maybe they have also tasted the sweetness of the most prestigious trophy in the country of the Matador, it's great that Xavi is again able to outperform his main rival Real Madrid. Furthermore, in the Copa Del Rey Barcelona also has a 50:50 chance with Los Blancos, if the Blaugrana are again able to defeat Carlo Ancelotti's troops, then the chance to win the treble in Spain is very open. I hope Xavi is able to do well.

[jakdanyel]

Congrats to Barcelona on their La Liga title already because this point gap is not like the type that Real Madrid can close anymore. Real Madrid just lost their chance by losing the latest El Clasico in the league. From now on Real Madrid had better focus on the Champions League the most because it is really a tournament that they can win the title of. They did this in the previous season by eliminating very tough opponents. I see them quite strong to do this again this season.

It must be feeling really good for Barcelona that they are running to the La Liga title after a three-season break. Xavi would continue with the team in this case I guess.

[shinratensei_]

People were always mocking cadiz but this team is quite consistent at this moment. Getting draw is not as bad as people think. I think that cadiz gotta get another draw against sevilla. Sevilla is not as good as last season in la liga. I have no doubt if cadiz will able to beat or force the result to be drawn. Cadiz is not so bad as a team. it's better rather than elche which was placed at the bottom. I remember that cadiz was slowly but surely moving from relegation zone.

Bookies put 3.25 for cadiz and 2.40 for sevilla. I think that anyone may prefer to take sevilla as safe bet rather than taking a big risk by putting their choice in cadiz but it's still worthy enough to risky the money to take cadiz.

I hope that cadiz will get another draw against sevilla.

I don't think, Real Madrid have the power to cover this gap in their remaining matches because their midfield is not too strong for their strikers to score goals that will make them to recover from their losses. But it will be difficult for Real Madrid to win this title because Barcelona performance has showed that they have more opportunities to achieve this la Liga league title than Real Madrid in this season. If Real Madrid coach can introduce the strategies they used last season to defeated mighty teams in the champion league competition to play their remaining matches, I believe they can still achieve something good from the tournament.

Rather than trying in La Liga but have to hope that Barcelona will lose many points up to 12 points in last 12 matches, that is a little unrealistic hope, Real Madrid can simply focus on themselves in Champions League, match by match, opponent by opponent and win it.

In Champions League, they will meet Chelsea at the quarter final and they have diligent chance to beat Chelsea. What team will wait them in semi final? The opponent is either Manchester City and Bayern Munich and between two clubs, I think Bayern Munich are the opponent Real Madrid don't want to meet. They have some bad experience with Bayern Munich in Champions League but with Manchester City, Real Madrid will feel more comfortable.

If they go to final, opponent can be Napoli or Inter Milan.

Yes, Xavi must prove his capacity as a coach by giving the main title to Barcelona. But it looks like this season is really very relieved with his team.

Xavi controlled his players well and united them as a solid squad to play as a whole team. So far, they have done great jobs together and see La Liga crown is more closely after each match day. However, in Barcelona, there are crisis with their finance and legal issues which are harmful for their club. Xavi can not control those things which are out of his responsibility. They must resolve those problems gradually to help the club future. With many young players, they have bright future ahead but only if they can convince those players to stay in Camp Nou.

I think the only trophy worth fighting for is the Champions League. But in the top 8, Real Madrid will face Chelsea. I'm sure Chelsea will be a stumbling block for Real Madrid.
I hope Real Madrid doesn't get any trophies this season because I'm a Barcelona fan.

Cadiz's development is much better than some of the other teams under it, they are showing a significant performance that makes their fans very happy with the results so far. When it comes to bets, such odds are sometimes a little confusing and instead of taking rash measures to bet on a Sevilla win, I'd rather place a bet on a double chance for Cadiz/draw. At least the chance of a draw here is still very open.
