La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Alanaz]

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad on Saturday will be a tough match, because Real Sociedad will like to showcase some tactics that will make them shake Barcelona for the first half to make the match draw 0-0. No matter how prepared Real Sociedad prepare for this match, Barcelona will definitely use home advantage to embrace victory from this match, because Real Sociedad cannot stop Barcelona strikers not to have access to their goalpost through out the match. I believe, Barcelona will score two goals from this match that will make them to achieve the three points to celebrate.

But Barcelona will be more comfortable in this game, they have already confirmed themselves to be La Liga champions this season, and with that there is no burden for them in the game. It's just that they also definitely want to give their best in this match, Xavi Hernandez can use several options, including playing players who haven't had many chances to play this season, which he can use in the remaining matches.

As a football manager, Carlo Ancelotti has chieved so much in his career that it will be absolutely fine if he decides to rest from coaching after the end of the season. He's one of the most successful managers in the game of football.
I would love Real Madrid to beat Manchester City today and also go on and beat Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final and hand Ancelotti the Champions League trophy as a farewell present. But how possible it'll be remains unknown till after tonight's match

I respect Carlo because he is a legend of the game but I will not be rooting for him and Madrid tonight. I want Man City to win this seasons champions league. It's going to be a tough battle to beat Ancelotti's team in this competition at this stage, but if anyone can do it, it is Pep.

And I do not think Ancelotti will be retiring entirely from coaching after this season. I think there is talk between him and the Brazil national team. I don't know how true it is but I would really like that to happen. He has already coached players like Vinicius, Rodrygo and Militoa in Madrid, it would be nice to continue doing so at their national team. Brazil has a lot of stars and if there's one thing Ancelotti is good at is managing stars.

And Pep Guardiola's Squad did more than enough as they've successfully gotten to the Champions League finals, it will be the second time in four or three years to get to the final, Pep Guardiola lost the last to Thomas Tuchel during the Champions League finals I hope he doesn't this time around.
Kudos to Carlos Ancellotti and the rest of Real Madrid squad, despite the competitive mindset they posses whenever it comes to the Champions League. They've fought greatly this season, but they should know it's not for them.

Unlike the previous season, which was excellent for Real Madrid, this year we observe a decrease in performance. Here Ancelotti can start thinking about his moves next year. Benzema and the other players should reflect on the mistakes they made this unsuccessful season. In La Liga, they had an empty-handed season this year as they lost the championship to Barcelona.

Real Sociedad are getting closer to having the last ticket for the Champions League group stage every week. While there are only four weeks left they are already five points ahead of Villarreal right now. However the remaining games don't seem comfortable at all for Real Sociedad side. Because three of them are big games against Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. The ones against the first two teams are even away games.

However there are a couple of tough games left for Villarreal side as well. Maybe they can have big difficulties in those games and this would help Real Sociedad to keep the distance at a safe level. Besides Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are already in a comfortable position now so Real Sociedad can still get decent results in those games if they fight hard.

[Strongkored]

But the fact is that Real madrid ended up losing in the semi-finals of the champions league and isn't this the ugliness that ancelotti has brought?
I personally prefer Real Madrid to replace a new coach even though ancelotti has given his best but this is a new era that must be done by Madrid looking for a new coach with even better experience.

The only good achievement by him this season is winning copa del rey. I don't consider it as prestigious trophy for madrid.

The bad achievements by ancelotti this season

1. Lose UCL
2. Lose La liga
3. Real madrid's performance is being so far to from to be called as stable performance.

Ancelotti needs to make sure if the next season will not be the same like this season. that's enough to see that ancelotti was making a mistake by not using rudiger in the match to protect goal keeper from haaland.

Real madrid can only focus to win the remaining match of la liga.

Is it possible for a team to always be in top performance? I think that is impossible because there will be a time when a team, even with the same line-up, even with the same coach, will experience a decline in performance, not because 100% of their performance is bad, but other teams that were previously bad have improved beyond what they predicted, so as difficult as what Real Madrid experienced, but at least they are still able to end this season with one title.

Maybe Real Madrid didn't predict that their rival club Barcelona would improve in appearance this season so it caught them off guard and when they realized they were behind enough for Barcelona to win the league, as well as when in another tournament namely the UCL, maybe they weren't aware that Manchester City was able to give the resistance even beat them, which is quite sad the second match with a landslide score

But whatever Real Madrid has achieved this season does not diminish that Ancelotti is still one of the best coaches ever, and Real Madrid needs a lot of updating of the squad because some of their players can be said to be old, it is rare for a club to be able to compete for many tournaments with a basic starting line-up filled with players who are old enough, they must have another striker who is sharper, a midfielder who is able to provide assists because Modric is old enough to be able to continue playing full-time in many matches so next season more title they can reach.

Sociedad has impressive performance lately they even can able to beat Real Madrid last week but indeed it's really hard to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou but Sociedad should be keep winning to secure their place in the league standings from Villarreal but maybe because Barcelona have already win the title so win or lose it would not affect to their position and i assume they will do the same thing such as Napoli did last week in Serie A that Xavi will give an opportunity to Barcelona's reserve players to get more minutes to play and if this really happend i think there is a chance for Sociedad to win the match so we have to wait for Barcelona starting lineup before we decide to bets

That seems like a pretty good idea. And indeed, in terms of motivation and ambition, Real Sociedad should have had more encouragement to be able to win this match. Real Sociedad will definitely fight harder than usual in this match. Because Real Sociedad, who want to secure themselves in the top 4, of course, must be able to collect points from this match. Because Real Sociedad, who are now in the top 4, don't seem too calm because the difference between Real Sociedad and Villareal, who are ranked 5th, also only has a difference of 5 points. So with 4 matches remaining in this season, of course Villareal's opportunity to overtake Real Sociedad is also possible if Real Sociedad suffers several defeats. So Real Sociedad must win the remaining 4 matches to stay safe.

Real Madrid will face big problems if they do not add new players to their squad next season. Benzema and Luka Modric are two key players in Madrid's squad. They are very talented and experienced players. But they are old enough now. It would be foolish to expect these two players to perform consistently well in every match next season. And so Real Madrid will have to find a suitable replacement for these two players. If Madrid does not find a suitable replacement for these two players, they will not be able to win the La Liga title next season. Because Vini and Rodry are talented enough but not experienced enough.

I highly doubt that and you kind of contradict yourself. Vinicius Junior already won 9 titles with Real Madrid, including the Champions League and he is one of the most expensive and most important players Real Madrid has. Age doesn't matter if you are on his level already. Does Manchester City need another striker because Haaland is so young? That doesn't make sense.

Real Madrid played a below average season, but not because they are a bad team. They only couldn't trigger their maximum performance level on a regular basis. I think with the same team as now they would still be able to compete for the La Liga title next season.

Integrating new players can't hurt of course, but they are after players who are barely available on the market. Oh and Vinicius Junior has played 137 games for Real Madrid by now. Doesn't really sound like someone who has no experience.

Vinicius Junior is not a bad striker. But I saw him miss a lot of easy opportunities. He is yet to reach the level of Benzema or Ronaldo. A worthy replacement for Benzema requires an experienced player like Benzema. Vinicius Junior will never replace Benzema.

I don't think Real Madrid is capable of winning the title next season with this team. Benzema has suffered several injuries this season. Because of this, Madrid's performance in La Liga was erratic. Benzema is now around 36 years old. It is highly unlikely that he will maintain good fitness next season and be in form in a full season. Also, Modrich is now almost 38 years old. It is foolish to expect consistent good performances from such an aged player.

Vini and Rodrygo are definitely not experienced enough. Still can't compare Vini with players like Benzema, Ronaldo, Messi, or Lewandowski.

I think so or barcelona will not be playing seriously against sociedad caused by it has been securing the trophy. There will always be a reason if barcelona gets draw or lose against sociedad at this moment. In my understand that if it's very risky for me to take the bet on this match. It's caused by i were trying to pick napoli from the previous matches but it's always giving disappointed result for me. I think that if it will better for people to hold themselves.
who knows if barcelona will be playing with the secondary squads. That will put us into the big risk by losing caused by sociedad will able to take the full points. that has always become my main concern for sure.

In the remaining 4 matches Real Sociedad will face a team that will not be easy for them. they will still face Barca, Atletico, and Sevilla. it's possible to face Almeria which will give 3 points for sure. but facing the other 3 teams will require hard work from Sociedad.
looking at the points in the standings, Sociedad can really get out of the top 4. That's just my guess. because of the difference in points between the teams in the mid-table, it seems that there will still be many changes until the end of the season closes.

Real Sociedad are in the top fourth position of the points table with 62 points. No points were added due to their draw with Girona in the last match. Meanwhile, Real Villarreal are fifth in the points table with 57 points, 5 points less than Real Sociedad. However, although Real Sociedad have performed well this season, they have progressed slowly. The next match will be very difficult for Real Sociedad in the round of 35 where Barcelona will play against Real Sociedad. Most likely the match with Barcelona will be lost by Real Sociedad if this match was played at Real Sociedad's ground instead of Barcelona's ground. But Barcelona will definitely win the match, they are currently on the first position with maximum points in the points table.

Real Sociedad did play very well and show amazing games, if they did not win then their opponents were forced to share points with a draw.
I also thought it would be very difficult for real socioded to defeat the lion at home, it made Alguacil's Imanol very confused, because they were under pressure to win the match, because Villareal had hope that Real Sociedad lost, their position could be threatened.
I am quite familiar with Xavi's style in Laliga, they will play as usual by making 3 full points in this fight, I agree with you about it.
Even if you lose real sociocted in the match against Barcelona, they can still maintain their points in the last week of the LaLiga season.

[hahay]

It looks like Real Sociedad is in a difficult moment to maintain its position in the top four, because Real Sociedad will also still have to play against Barcelona, Atletico and also against Sevilla. Because, if in only two matches Real Sociedad loses and at the same time Villarreal is consistent with consecutive wins, then Real Sociedad will be overtaken by Villarreal.

But yes, I also realize that at a moment like this it is possible that teams like Barcelona will also not have the ambition to win three points because Barcelona have also won the title this season. But at least, Real Sociedad remains in a difficult situation because if Real Sociedad fails to maintain its position in the top four, then Real Sociedad also fails to get a Champions League ticket.

I even think the other way around, barcelona might not be serious for a match like this because they have already won the La Liga title this season and now maybe this could be an opportunity for Real Sociedad to steal points at home to Barcelona. At the moment Barcelona don't have any targets for the competition now and they are confirmed to be in the champions league next season.

On the other hand, maybe this will be a challenge for Real Sociedad to maintain their position in the current standings and of course they will fight it out so that Villarreal cannot catch up on points from Real Sociedad. Even though it's a pretty exciting match but I'm not going to bet on it because there's a lot of speculation that can happen during the match or even the outcome we don't expect, so I'd prefer to watch it at the weekend.

I personally prefer Real Madrid to replace a new coach even though ancelotti has given his best but this is a new era that must be done by Madrid looking for a new coach with even better experience.

Why do you have to blame the coach when the team lost to the English team, which this season has been much better? Does everyone have to forget what Ancelotti gave last season to Real Madrid just because they lost this season. Come on mate, try to think more logically in this case because there are many teams that have lost this season apart from Real Madrid. But the team management also will not immediately replace the old coach with a new coach, except for only buying new, better players to replace the old players.

Even though barcelona has won the league it doesn't mean they don't want 3 points from the match against Sociedad, because sociedad also want to maintain their position to get a UCL ticket next season so they also need a win, but I believe that if Sociedad is able to play well they can get 3 point, who knows barcelona only fielded the second squad instead of the main squad, so let's see that

I think sociedad can get a narrow victory not because Barcelona don't want to win but are worried if they only play their second squad making it easier for sociedad to take advantage of that opportunity, but I predict sociedad will win narrowly  

[Jody.Drummer]

Finishing in the top 7 is not an impossibility, they even have a big chance to do that. Now in the standings there are 3 clubs that have the same points, Sevilla, Osasuna and Bilbao with collecting 47 points, they are only 1 point away from 7th place which is now occupied by Girona who has collected 48 points. That's not all, a club like Rayo also has hope for that because they are also only 2 points away from the top 7. It will be an interesting competition for the position. These clubs will definitely show their best to get the maximum position in the standings.

I don't find the possibility of Real Sociedad going out of the top 4 very realistic. The difference between them and Villarreal in fifth place is 5 points and Sociedad is a very good team in terms of quality. It is possible to predict that they will be able to play matches in the champions league next year. I think they will finish the season among the top 4 teams in the league.

I don't think Real Sociedad is still safe to qualify for the Champions League next season. Sociedad's position is still under pressure from Villarreal who mathematically can still win the Champions League zone from them, so Sociedad must make sure he wins at least 3 of the 4 remaining matches this season in order to lock in a Champions League ticket.

The thing is, three the match was tough especially for Sociedad. Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are tough opponents who will probably try to keep their form. Barcelona may no longer be in trouble if they lose to Sociedad this week, but the other two teams will surely try their best for their record and form.

This is the same coach that has won champions league and different trophies for Real Madrid,  I don't think Real Madrid losing to Manchester city was because of the coach. If you notice from Real Madrid games before now the players are not showing good quality,  their is this slight weakness in their games that is why they couldn't win some of their games in laliga to get high points. I can't agree ancelotti was the reason for Real Madrid lose, he is a good coach and we can see that from the achievements of Real Madrid in previous season,  Real Madrid also tried to get semi finals in champions league this season,  it is not easy.

To be honest, I don't dare to speculate too much for the match between Barcelona vs Real Sociedad. because, we do not have the latest information for both teams. although on paper, Barcelona is far in the favorites especially since the match was held at Camp Nou. plus, Barcelona has been confirmed to win the La Liga trophy, I'm not sure if Xavi will play his starting eleven. so, as you said. most likely, if Xavi will give the chance to some reserve players to get more playing minutes. however, it is possible that Lewandowski will still be made the main starter. at least, he still needs the coffers of goals to increase the distance from his competitors.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad need points to strengthen their ranking in the top four of La Liga standings. so, they will target full points against Barcelona. the problem is whether Xavi will play his core squad. if not, that means Real Sociedad has the potential to win the game over Barcelona.
To find out more, let's just wait for the two teams to meet.
