La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[CPNpr]

Although Sevilla remained on the field with 10 players, they were able to score a goal in the first half, and they were able to maintain this score until the last part of the match. But in the last 10-15 minutes, another game was played. Sevilla scored their second goal. At first, what a goal it was, it was such a hard hit from a long distance into the corner. Then somehow Celta Vigo managed to score two goals in a row and they managed to score one point in this match. It was a sad loss for Sevilla.

I thought that Sevilla would win that match, because I saw their match in the second half in the 85th minute which was still 2-0 victory for Sevilla after Marcos added his goal, but it turned out that in the last 20 minutes of the match Celta Vigo was able to turn things around, of course, maybe because they were able to control the field in the match so the chance to turn things around was huge, Miguel Rodriguez reduced the difference in defeat against Sevilla in the 89th minute and Goncalo added it also in the 90+3 minutes so that the position was two equal which ended in a draw. It was a very tiring game and maybe it made me helpless to see it, with the last 20 minutes Celta vigo able to bring the game to a draw, I think if it was done from the start chances are Celta could win the game.

Sevilla hosted Celta Vigo at home. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. Gueye received a red card in the 19th minute, leaving his team with ten men. Thus, we can say that Celta Vigo played a dominant and good football from the beginning to the end of the match. I should add that Celta Vigo are unbeaten for six weeks. They managed to extend this to seven weeks with a draw against Sevilla. Sevilla led the game 2-0 despite being down to ten men, but had to settle for a draw after conceding two goals in the final minutes.

The red card that Gueye got didn't have much effect until midway through the match, because Sevilla still dominated the match and were still confident, somehow in the last minutes Sevilla blundered in their game, maybe it was pushed from a lack of players and it seems like the Sevilla players have tired because there is an empty position so it might take a lot of energy to cover it, the thing to remember is that every player placed on the field plays a very important role and has their own area of work, playing discipline and calm is the key not to get a red card.

Really enjoyed the Sevilla vs Celta Vigo match. Because both teams have performed exceptionally well. The match became most enjoyable when Chelta Vigo managed to redeem the goals at the last minute.

I thought Sevilla will win this match. Sevilla scored a goal in the first halftime game and another goal in the second halftime game, taking the match to victory. But in the last half of the game, Celta Vigo's Miguel Rodriguez and Goncalo Paciencia scored a goal each.  The match returned to a draw and both teams shared equal points. However, the players of the Sevilla team have been shamed by getting a red card

Osasuna vs ELCHE
Elche was leading with a goal in the early hours of the game,  which I thought it will be victory for Elche but osasuna later scored two surprising goals in a short time. It was a painful lose for Elche.

[baeva]

In the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal, Real Madrid team has the highest probability to win. Because Real Madrid has had one of the best performances this season, I think there is no other team capable of competing with Real Madrid except Barcelona alone.

If you check the LaLiga standings then you will realize that Real Madrid have lost 4 times this season, indeed only Barcelona can compete with them because Barca's position is above them in the standings but Madrid has also suffered defeats besides facing Barca. Madrid lost to Mallorca and Villarreal also beat them in their previous matches so these opponents have a chance to beat or at least take a point. Although it is agreed that Madrid have been one of the best teams this season especially if they are under pressure they will perform much more impressively and their experienced striker Benzema has been outstanding this season even though he is still behind Lewandowski in terms of goals but because Benzema has played less than his rival.
Real Madrid vs Villareal will be a big match this week but maybe it's not that interesting to see the standings, especially the top 4 because it won't change that much because Real Madrid will certainly only be in second place considering the point difference with first place is quite far with 12 points.

well, even though in the Real Madrid vs Villarreal match later if Madrid loses and loses 1 point it doesn't matter because Madrid is still at a safe point.
but it's true that maybe Real Madrid looked convincing against Villarreal but don't get me wrong that Villareal could have stolen points from Real Madrid because in the standings it can be seen that Madrid have only won 2 times this season, so there is an opportunity for Villareal to score + points in the game later.
and it needs to be remembered that if Banzema gives a good performance in the match I think Villarreal will be a little overwhelmed to defend. because Banzema is usually suddenly able to attack the opponent quickly and it is difficult to be blocked by the opponent's defense line.

Real Madrid might not be able to win the Spanish La Liga title again this season but that doesn't mean they'll want to finish the season in any position that's less than 2nd or will they want Barcelona to win the title with more than two 12 points that they are already trailing them to.
Their match against Villarreal is one they can't afford to lose at the moment more because it is their last match before their UEFA Champions League quarter final encounter with Chelsea kicks off so they'll want to win to maintain that winning mentality in the squad already

Is there any chance they'll lose? I think not, after beating Barcelona by a huge score they are too confident. The match has literally just begun, but Real Madrid has already opened the scoring in the 16th minute of the match, though they did not score a goal, the opponent punished himself and scored a goal in his own goal 

[Jody.Drummer]

Bookmakers apparently do not believe in the victory of Villereal, otherwise they would not have given odds of 6.4.
It is clear that Real Madrid is the clear favorite here and the statistics say that in the last 5 games Real Madrid scores an average of 3.00 goals per game is a fantastic number.
If Real will score in this match and 2-3 goals, it will be almost unreal to recoup Villereal.
Villereal is not a team that plays from the defense and most likely, as usual, they prefer open, attacking soccer with lots of dangerous moments and goals.
So it seems that only tremendous luck and relaxation of Real players can help Villereal.

Real Madrid are always the favorites in their games, with the exception being against Barcelona. Villarreal could also hold Real madrid at any time, but that would require a lot of effort and also as you said they also need luck to do something like that. Now I'm not too sure they can hold Real Madrid to at least make the game end in a draw for them to get 1 point in this game at Santiago Bernabue. 1-0 now for Real madrid's lead from a Villarreal player's own goal.

Sevilla's not being able to secure a big score advantage like 2-0 there was really disappointing to see honestly. Because they still did a great work with 10 players by getting ahead like this.

However Celta Vigo did some magic there in the last moments and scored two goals in a very short time period. Sevilla didn't have time to go for the winning goal again. They even got their second red card instead and they should be thankful for not losing at least. I know that this isn't still enough for Sevilla because they just can't get far away from the relegation area. The end of the season is closing in but there is still not a big progress made. They even made another change in their management side lately. Mendilibar is taking care of the team until the end of the season.

In the Sevilla match I thought Celta Vigo could be beaten in a big way. But Sevilla could not hold the goal difference until the end of the match. As a result, the match ended in a draw. But everyone wanted to see Sevilla emerge victorious.

Sevilla must lose their victory that is in sight. However, Celta Vigo really surprised with 2 late goals that made the match end in a 2-2 draw. Sevilla played well, with 10 men they could lead by 2 goals before Celta Vigo finally equalized in the 89th minute and in extra time. I think if Sevilla had played with a full set of players I think they would have scored more than 2 goals. But they lost it in the 19th minute, unfortunately they also had to lose 1 player when the match was about to end.

[MinoRaiola]

Real Madrid will win this match and it is certain. They are in a good form and Benzema is in a super form now as he scored hat tricks in the recent matches that they won. Villarreal should be careful of Vinicius because he is the young most active striker in the club,and it is also hard to hold him down without receiving a yellow card. It will be quite an interesting match. Ancelotti shouldn't underestimate Villarreal so that the unexpected will not be the case,since football is full of surprises.

The 1:0 just happened, an own goal. They will definitely win today, but they are still 9 points away from 1st place. The substitutes could form a new team that could surely play at the best 5 teams in the league. Players like Carvajal, Eder Militao, Camavinga, Valverde, Kroos, Modric, Hazard and Mariano... what names and they are only second choice today. Ancelotti still has a chance in the Champions League and they play vs Chelsea on April 12. They should win that game if you look how bad Chelsea are playing at the moment.

[sana54210]

A terrible last goal ruined my prediction in the pool (2-1 victory for Sevilla) 
I don't think that Sevilla is happy with the result, because losing 2 points in the last minutes is always unpleasant even if you are playing in the minority. Probably the team will prepare for the game against United in a not-very-good mood (in addition to the fact that there are few positive expectations from the game against United initially).

I'm not happy to see a draw in this game. Celta vigo has by-passed another opportunity of over throwing their closes contenders. A win by teams could barely happen unlike draws which we now see all over score boards in so many domestic leagues. team at least a win from any side will help each side move higher from the previous position. But for Sevilla , unlike before I wouldn't bet boldly on them to secure a draw confidently against Celta V. I would say I am beginning to know where their inspiration is coming from. And that is no where than The Europ league anticipation. It was quite an interesting match to watch.

If United don't fall into a functional hole because of their hectic schedule, they will tear Sevilla to shreds. United have dealt with the stronger Spanish teams and Sevilla will be an easy target for them. I do not think that the Sevilla players themselves have any illusions about this. The most adequate thing they can do is to concentrate on La Liga. For example, if they had won yesterday, they would have been only 3 points away from the Euro Cup zone, even for a day.

This is the weird thing about football that we will never figure out. Sevilla got a tie against Celta Vigo, provenly a team that is not at the high stages of Europe, barely a decent team in la liga if you ask me and Sevilla only managed to get a draw against them. United on the other hand is third in the premier league I think, or maybe fourth now, but basically at the top and been doing amazing this season and have much better players without a doubt, the roster is not even comparable to each other.

And yet, when it comes down to Europa, people are not entirely certain if United will be able to beat Sevilla or not, because they know that Sevilla is great at this cup and won it so many times so anything could happen.

[rendravolt]

Sociedad won a pretty good victory when they hosted Getafe in the match with a score of 2-0. If we look at it, Getafe is not a balanced opponent for Sociedad, even statistically the match Sociedad dominated the match with 62% ball possession, it is clear that this is far from Getafe who only collected 38%. Sociedad's goals were scored by Oyarzabal and Take which made the victory sure at home. With this result, Sociedad are more comfortable in 4th place in the standings and only 6 points away from Betis.

[Zackgeno96]

Real Madrid - Villareal is 1-1. That is a difficult game for Real Madrid, but I expect that they will walk over it in the 2nd half. Maybe save some strength somewhere for the confrontation with Chelsea that is also on the program soon. It won't be long before Elche is officially relegated. Valencia is also in the papers to be relegated. That is also below average for a team with a big name like Valencia. If the score stays that way at Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid manages to win its match, then the difference between Real and Atletico is now only 3 points. Not that that matters much, since the numbers 1 to 4 all qualify directly for the CL.

If you remove the force majeure, then United is definitely stronger than Sevilla, and no one doubts this. The historical merit of Sevilla in this competition is great, but they do not give any advantages on the field. Bookmakers unequivocally assess the outcome of the confrontation in this pair:

To Qualify

Manchester United FC 1.18

Sevilla FC 4.50


Real have given the whole midfield a rest before the game with Chelsea, so things are not going very well with Villarreal so far. However, this is not very important and it seems to me that Real Madrid's attack will be able to tip the scales in their favor in the second half.

[mbakruroh]

Karim Benzema have confirmed in starting eleven against Villareal, have several change with starting eleven from last games when Madrid won from Barcelona in copa del rey. Fort attacking line still have Rodrygo, Karim Benzema and Vinicius junior, have several change with defender position where Valquez, Rudigor and Nacho will play at the first minute.

I am surprised by Carlo Ancelotti's line-up, because there are mostly strikers, and there is a lack of center players, Marco Asensio is also placed in the middle position. If we look, there are five straikers in the lineup, including Lucas Vazquez. Madrid lacks midfielders, there are only Luka Modric and Toni Croos as senior players. So they need to be reserved for the next game.

I think there's nothing wrong if they really want to play more attacking in the first half, because if Real Madrid can win in the first half then of course Real Madrid can change their style of play in the second half by introducing more defenders. However, basically Real Madrid is just trying not to lose in this match, because Real Madrid's main squad also has to stay fit for the Champions League match later.

So, because in La Liga Real Madrid's chance to overtake Barcelona is not great, so just playing with a draw in this match I think is good enough. But yes, because this match was played at the Santiago Bernabéu, of course, the three points must be earned by Real Madrid.

Madrid cannot play more efficiently without Luka Modric and Toni Cross. We saw in the first half, Real Madrid's midfield was very chaotic. They can't control the ball well. This is the condition if the midfield player does not control the ball properly. Even more possession of the ball dominated by Villarreal.
Maybe in the second half, Camavinga and Modric will fill the midfield, and Rodrygo will be replaced by Valverde. Madrid's first goal was just an own goal. Villarreal continued to launch attacks, in the first half Villarreal managed to make 5 shots on target. But if Madrid don't replace the midfield players, it may be difficult to win the game.

[swogerino]

Real Madrid is making a very entertaining game tonight,they are winning,they already made both teams to score bets come true and also over 2.5 goals bets come true,are also winning the game with a lot of time to keep playing and I think a lot more will happen in this game.They play for nothing in La Liga as Barcelona most likely is already Champions but the fact that they are entertaining us so much tonight means that they are playing worry free in this game whatever happens,as most likely their full focus in on the Champions League game in the next week which is their main objective during this season.

[judas]

From now on Real Madrid are just playing not to lose the second spot. Because it is obvious already that they can't go for the league title anymore. They wasted all the chances they got to do this I'm afraid. Real Madrid could have been much more consistent than this normally. But I really don't know why they had concentration issues this season. The La Liga title is one of the most important things for them surely.

I know that they want the Champions League title even more. But I still can't forget about the previous season anyway. They won both titles in that season. They still have the same players mostly but this time it looks like only one of these titles might be theirs.

By the way Real Madrid have just got 2-1 ahead against Villarreal. But their performance so far hasn't been very satisfying to me as they let Villarreal play quite comfortably.

So they need to be reserved for the next game.

While this is still very good for Madrid because even if some of their core players are not played, the score is still quite profitable for them.
Now I think there's still plenty of time left to make this a satisfaction even if they are ahead at the moment but of course Villarreal can't be taken lightly and they can't be comfortable now considering there are still 30 minutes to end game.

[Falconer]

I no longer care whether Real Madrid are still aiming for the La Liga title or not, but so far Real Madrid have had to rotate their players to be ready to face Chelsea in the Champions League. Of course Villarreal was a threat to Real Madrid today, but I think we can still win this game even without some senior players. Villareal is playing well at the moment, Real Madrid must be careful if they don't want to lose.

Even though Real Madrid have to maintain their best form ahead of the first leg of the Champions League, I agree with Ancelotti's decision to rotate several players. Kross and Modric are important, while Benzema has also been replaced by Valveldre.

[execijutiere]

Osasuna won against Elche and showed that they want to make the most of their chances to be in the Europa League next year. Elche are now the first team to be relegated. There is no chance of them getting out of here. Osasuna, who reduced the points difference with Villareal to 6, played a good game from the beginning to the end. They were the weaker side and they had the advantage of playing at home.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

By the way Real Madrid have just got 2-1 ahead against Villarreal. But their performance so far hasn't been very satisfying to me as they let Villarreal play quite comfortably.

And now Villarreal scored the 2nd goal   I agree with you Real Madrid not better in this match even Villarreal took over and controlled the game
I'm not sure Marid can secure 3 points in 10 minutes even if there is a 3rd goal it must be Villareal because indeed they are in control of this match.

Damn, a few seconds since this post then Villarreal really scored the 3rd goal   Madrid 2 - 3 Villarreal Laliga surprise today

In the end we had to be content enough to play without any points at home today. At the same time we also give Barcelona a great chance to win the title because the difference in points is huge. I don't think we have to express regret for the defeat, but to be honest a defeat like this was not expected especially at home.

Alright, here are today's standings after Real Madrid lost from Villarreal. It is likely that Barcelona will lead by 15 points in the standings and get closer to the title.

Sevilla vs Celta Vigo, Sevilla almost lost their victory in the yesterday pape Alassane Gueye take red card earlier the game, Sevilla scored two,one at first half in fourth three minutes by Youssef En-Nesyri and the second goal is in eighty one minute scored by Marcos Acuna, Celta Vigo equalized the goals in second half Celta Vigo see their first goal in eighty nine minutes, and  ninety three minutes extra Three minutes, Sevilla played their game draw it's was very disappointed. Sevilla can not even played ball yesterday

Villarreal are currently fighting to finish the season in the top four of the Spanish La Liga table and they're currently  4 points behind 4th placed Real Sociedad after winning their match against Real Madrid. Real Madrid coming from the back of a 4:0 over Barcelona was favorites to win the match but their opponents played like a team who Was more hungry for the win and deservedly the took all three points from the match at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Real Madrid has an all important UEFA Champions League quarter final encounter with Chelsea and would immediately turn their attention to first leg of that tie

Damn, a few seconds since this post then Villarreal really scored the 3rd goal   Madrid 2 - 3 Villarreal Laliga surprise today  

In the end we had to be content enough to play without any points at home today. At the same time we also give Barcelona a great chance to win the title because the difference in points is huge. I don't think we have to express regret for the defeat, but to be honest a defeat like this was not expected especially at home.

Alright, here are today's standings after Real Madrid lost from Villarreal. It is likely that Barcelona will lead by 15 points in the standings and get closer to the title.

Villarreal was very deserving of the win and they did. Can't beleive I lost good money betting on Real Madrid to win. Is feels good though to have been entertained by the way Villarreal took on Real Madrid. I really hope Vini Jnr could learn some good lesson from Villarreal's Chukwueze. He literally took on the whole Real Madrid defence, punishing Nacho severely and he was hardly stopped at my point. The whole Villarreal's success was dependent on him and he carried them good.

Ancelotti took too long to bring in Luka Modric and Camavinga. Those guys did bring some quality to the game and what a great did of effort from Modric in picking Asensio out in what could have been a great assist should Asensio have converted it. It was a great tactic he used and a very difficult one and was executed good except, the goalkeeper was watchful and made a good save of it.
