La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[zuzie]

Real Madrid are going to have one of the easiest fixtures for them on this week. They should be able to beat Valladolid in Santiago Bernabeu without having serious problems. Bookmakers must be thinking the same as well because their odd for the win is very low. It isn't worth adding to a betslip actually. Instead it seems like it would be better to bet on a win by a big gap for them.
They don't have much chance left for the league title maybe but I still expect them to play solidly in this game. They should make up for the El Clasico loss.

Real Madrid are very set to win this match, because they don't want anything that will make them to draw any match or lose any match in their remaining matches than to apply their new strategy to maintain the second position till they meet Barcelona for final. I don't think, Valladolid have strong players that can stop Real Madrid not to achieve victory from this match because Real Madrid players are well prepared to make their game positive in a way their fans will have full confident about their dream in this season. I will predict for the favour of Real Madrid to defeat Valladolid 2-0 to improve their points.

Real Madrid will definitely continue to try to win the La Liga title. But they are now 12 points behind Barcelona. After being so far behind, the chances of winning the title are slim. However, I think Ancelotti will continue to try. However, Valladolid is a weak team. Real Madrid will not drop points against a team like Valladolid unless their goal is to win the title. I have never seen Madrid lose against Valladolid. Madrid has won their last four matches against Valladolid. In 2019, there was a 1-1 draw between these two teams. Madrid's past record against Valladolid is very good. Moreover, the match is going to be held at Madrid's home. Madrid is always favorites at home.

There is no time to think about Real Madrid left behind Barcelona. I think Ancelotti thinks more about the UCL
Even if Real Madrid has consistent win in the remain match, Barcelona certainly will not remain silent
La Liga is Barcelona's only hope and it must be the motivation for the players not to lose in the upcoming match

[hahay]

Cadiz against Sevilla will soon start. This was Mendilibar's debut match in charge of Sevilla as Sampaoli was previously the target of sacking after Sevilla failed to improve.
Now this could also determine whether Sevilla and Mendilibar are able to improve their performance which is currently in a decline because if you look at the conditions if they lose again in this match technically the problem is not the coach but the mentality of the players.

Match just started. Both teams are equally strong in this match.  And the performance of both their teams is expected to be equal so maybe the match can be a 1-1 draw. But if the question arises that if any team wins then which team has more chances. then I would say Sevilla. If you look at the previous matches, it can be seen that the number of wins of Sevilla is slightly higher than that of Cadiz. So in that case it is natural that the hope will be towards Sevilla. So now we cannot guarantee any result until the game is over. Let's enjoy the match

Wow, I just found out about the dismissal of the coach and recruiting a new coach at Sevilla, this news is not high enough to have fans when compared to Bayern Munich recruiting Tuchel. To be honest, I personally don't know much about Jose Mendilibar because Jose Mendilibar has never coached top teams and in fact, Jose Mendilibar previously coached Alaves, Eibar, Levante, Osasuna, Real Valladolid, Bilbao and there are several other teams.

With a record like that, I personally really doubt the quality of Jose Mendilibar because Sevilla is one of the top teams in La Liga. Also, Sevilla is still playing in the Europa League and with the appointment of Jose Mendilibar as head coach of Sevilla, I'm starting to doubt that Sevilla might still find it difficult to get good results in every match, including this match against Cadiz.

Financial conditions make it difficult for Barcelona to bring in new players next season, especially Gavi who cannot be registered with the senior team due to the salary restrictions they are currently facing in La Liga and even if Gavi has to leave Barcelona, it is not because they sold him but Gavi has a status free transfers.

I think they have alternative solutions to sign up players to the first team even though they are in financial trouble. Yes, maybe it's not as easy as it sounds, but a team like Barcelona is likely to get good treatment from La Liga. I'm sure it is, we'll see.

Barcelona will face Elche and Real Madrid will face Real Valladolid this week, although this is not a difficult match for both of them, I think they need points, so Barcelona and Real Madrid have to play more solidly. El Clasico is only a few days away, so it's too early for us to discuss.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are the favorites to win their respective matches, I believe it will be easy for both of them. So I don't expect any significant changes in today's standings, but if it's Barcelona then the difference of 15 points is only temporary until Real Madrid plays their match.

[reagansimms]

Barcelona had bad days recently and that's mostly because of the bad financial situation they have, they are going to sell Gavi soon because of his salary and other young players like Fati have the same situation which can have a negative effect on Barcelona's atmosphere. but on the other hand in Real Madrid can't use Mendy for this El classic because he got injured, I guess this Elcalssi can be more interesting than the last three games we saw.

Yes, Barcelona's biggest problem right now is financial problems plus other bad news because Barcelona is in danger of losing Pablo Gavi at the end of this season. This happened because the Barcelona team's appeal was rejected by the court. Which makes Pablo Gavi a free transfer status.

Barcelona will not let one of its future stars just leave, the club is trying to solve this case. Gavi's contract will expire at the end of this season, but the player has declared his loyalty to Barcelona. Gavi opportunity to play in Barcelona main squad is still open, he can stay in the first team after Depay's transfer to Atletico, but La Liga has asked Barcelona not to exceed the existing salary cap.
Barcelona must take another way to complete Gavi's contract, they must get an injection of new funds to improve the club's finances so that Gavi can be registered with the main squad.

The loss in the El Clasico did not eliminate Real Madrid from playoff contention. They are still committed as a unit to finishing strong and maintaining their standing. The players' mindsets and demeanor are equally as important as their performance on the field. Real Madrid is a cool and competent squad that should have no trouble defeating Valladolid.

Sport, though, is a fickle mistress, and that much must be acknowledged. Anything can happen on the field, and a single error can completely alter the outcome of the game. While we eagerly await Real Madrid's performance, we know that anything could happen

I would guess that they could simply sell one of the players and just sign gavi and then sell him too and just be fine. That's not really that hard, this is the team that sold half of most things they own to make this season happen, if they are desperate enough like that, they wouldn't let anyone go for free. They would just tell gavi to hold on, sell one of the players they have, no matter how expensive or cheap, just enough to sign gavi, and if they want to then they can either keep gavi or sell him too.

I think they have a good young generation and they should keep him. At the end of the day it's a bit about gavi too, if he wants to stay or does he want to leave, it depends on that a bit.

Barcelona's lineup against Elche is not an impressive one but it's also not a surprising one. With most of their players injured and they have a deciding match against Madrid a fourth night from now the rotation was expected.
Garcia will be playing as a defensive midfielder today and not his traditional position as a central defender. Ansu Fati starts despite his dad's interview, hopefully, the interview doesn't diminish Fati's relationship with the club.
Farren starting ahead of Raphina was also unexpected from Xavi.
Despite the rotation, Barcelona should be able to win Elche. Elche has been poor this season and Xavi's starting 11 should be able to get the job done.

Girona's winning was sure cuz they dominated from the first half,  both in possession and attempt. But it's quite saddening that Espanyol has missed yet another Chance of overthrowing Getafe from the 13th position. After Reiner's red-card, I was thinking Espanyol will take advantage and try to score enough goals but they ended up Getting a red card too.
Espanyol made No single on-target attempt from the first half and succeeded making just one attempt in the second half and was lucky to have a goal from it.

Getafe has been doing well recently because their last 5 matches have always ended in a win or a draw, and today they put on 2 goals to 1 but I expected them to score more using the red card booked by Espanyol as a home advantage to win more goals but time was probably limited because they were already less than 10 minutes from the end of the match.
You also stated that Espanyol intended to flip Getafe, which I believe is incorrect because right now, Espanyol is only one point away from the relegation zone, they were behind Valencia until they won today's match and switched places, and they are currently one point below Cadiz.

Sevilla got a really important win for themselves honestly. Because they have been very near the relegation zone for a long time. There wasn't a one-sided match here though. Cadiz also found many goal opportunities but they found most of them after the score became 2-0 as well. Especially after Sevilla got 1-0 ahead Cadiz had a big chance to score but their shot hit the post.

Maybe that could have changed the direction of the match. I must admit that I'm glad to see Sevilla getting this win because I wouldn't like to see a team like Sevilla being in danger of relegation.

Basically Sevilla does have a chance to win but unfortunately, the situation and conditions for Sevilla this season are not so good in La Liga. In fact, after they have a new coach, I might doubt Sevilla's quality again but yes, Sevilla in the match against Cadiz can still win and of course that is a good result.

But, because Sevilla has a new coach, it seems that Sevilla will still find it difficult to gain point for point in each match, especially if Sevilla plays against a stronger team, it seems that Sevilla will still find it difficult to get successive wins. It will be interesting to wait, whether Mendilibar can produce the expected results for Seville, or maybe vice versa.

Although I'm not a big fan of Sevilla (I prefer Betis Balompié to be honest) I'm also happy because of their victory. Dangerous result for Cádiz, though, but I wouldn't like to see an important team like Sevilla out of La Liga, because it would be really painful for many, many fans.

It seems that the incorporation of Mendilibar is a good change so far, let's see how they end the season.

Yes, unfortunately ball hit the post, if the ball could go in it may will be more interesting. Same, I'm also happy with Sevilla winning on matchday 27. And with that win they currently have 31 points in standings, a little safe to be in 13th place although gap point is still very close, but at least they can steal three points very comfortably today.

Elche - Barcelona, currently Barcelona is leading with the score made by Lewandowski at 20 minutes, to be honest in my opinion Barcelona can really steal three points from Elche team although they are playing as away, because they are very consistent in collecting three points to stay away from Real Madrid.

[Roman_Picisan]

Lewandowski kept Barcelona away from Real Madrid and made him still lead as La Liga's top scorer.
Barcelona should be able to score in the second half because Elche is not an opponent who is actually not a tough opponent to beat by them.

Xavi Hernandez needs to provide direction in the locker room so that his team can score more than 2 goals for sure even though the points gap with Real Madrid is quite far.

Well this is also a good start now for their new coach because indeed to debut with a win is of course worth appreciating.
On the other hand, for Cadiz, their points are now a little hampered and they have not been able to get out of their zone at this time, which makes them have to start again from the beginning because indeed the results of draws in several previous matches, even though they were good, did not help much.
In other matches now Barcelona are still 1 goal ahead in the first half and I am quite happy with the several rotations they have now. there are a lot of their young players competing today.

[Frankolala]

Barcelona vs Elche... what a great opportunity that was missed by Konte due to Mascarel blocking the ball from entering the net. It would have been the second goal in the match. Barcelona goal was scored by Lewandoski on the 20th minutes. Elche is also playing with confidence trying every strategy to equalise the goal but they couldn't break the deadlock yet.

It is half time,Barcelona played pretty good and were suppose to score more goals. Lewandoski missed a good header which went over the bar. I believe Barcelona is unstoppable in the league since there is all assurance that they will win the league since they don't have a rival anymore. The second half has just got on his way and let's see what will be the final score after 90mins. There wasn't any change in the game.
Elche 0-1 Barcelona

The first half was great for Barcelona although I was really hoping for at least 2 goals. Lewandowski had a chance, but his header bounced over the bar.

About the second half, I think Xavi's plan today will be good. Barcelona must at least score 1 more goal in order to secure victory. Of course with a good performance a couple of goals can be expected, and this could happen in the second half. Elche is not strong, but Barcelona must be careful with set pieces.

They played well in the first half and Lewandowski scored again. They also found opportunities to score the second goal, but they couldn't use it. It would be a surprise for Elche to get points from this match. Although if they had scored the penalty, the situation could've been more difficult for Barcelona, but they are doing very well at the moment. Of course, everyone expects them to make a bigger difference against the last in the league. But if it doesn't, a 1-0 finish will still give Barca 3 points and they will have continued on their way to the championship without fail. That's all that matters.

Elche 0-1 Barcelona

Actually in this case I just feel as long as they play like this in the second half then the victory is maintained. The Barcelona players were quite different in this match. Gavi returned to wearing his old jersey number and was in a position that was actually quite new for him as he was usually positioned on the left more often than on the right. On the other hand, Ferran is also in a different position but it looks like he still needs more adaptation even though he has done quite well in this match.

As I expected it was true in the second half. Lewandowski again added to his goal coffers using Gavi's assist. Those who bet over 2.5 can be sure that the bet will win.
Just look at how Barcelona played in the second half. Barcelona in the second half seemed to play a prank on gamblers. Four goals have been scored and 3 goals scored after halftime.

Elche shouldn't be a team to play Barcelona tough game, Barcelona are already on their 4th goal and they may score more goals even before the end of the match.  Lewandowski is one of the player that has played a major role for Barcelona to be a the point where they are right now.
