La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Furious 7]

Vinicius red card was justified but should not be shown since he was the victim in that game and it was Valencia that should be sanctioned and its fans that should be fined. That game made a political crisis between Brazil and Spain and even between Spanish organisation. Barely everyone is blaming La Liga for acting passively and not taking decision to stop that racism.
Besides, what's going on with 2 balls in the field while he had an opportunity? Very poor game..

Things like this are now very disturbing because, regardless of anything, it is the players who currently seem to be the perpetrators, even though they are the victims in this case.
I'm not going to blame Vini's reaction and his red card in this game because it's like the aftermath of what people do who are really regretful for doing racist things like this.

Whatever the reason, racist actions are not justified, including in football, which is La Liga's big competition, it must be followed up on this matter if you want its credibility to be trusted in the eyes of the world, but seeing the reaction of La Liga which seems to justify this, the name of La Liga is tarnished. I prefer to call it a handful of people who don't know themselves. Obviously Vini is their target because he is a Madrid striker who is dangerous for his opponents. The positive point is that Vini will continue to be in Madrid and together fight racism in La Liga football.

In this case I am also quite annoyed with what Tebas said as the current president of La Liga.
Instead of making a movement by making something that could eradicate racism like this, he actually attacked Vini a little with words that led to things that were actually not justified in my opinion.
He seemed to be advising Vini to study properly instead of criticizing La Liga.
I don't really understand what Tebas is thinking at the moment because it seems he prefers to blame this on Vini for the sake of a La Liga image, even though from what we can see it is clear that the attack on Vini was not only limited to verbal but indeed several throws were also seen at that time.

The problem for La Liga it's not the first time something like this has happened I think and it's not just a handful of people it's been a lot of people which is like a virus and proof that La Liga is still silent it's like they are incompetent in any way when they are in authority in this case.

This will be a great opportunity for them to prepare for the European league final because despite their actual situation real Madrid still a big club and thought oppenet, sevella had a dramatic season and they escaped relegation in the last rounds in la Liga while qualifying to the European league final this is really insane

Real Madrid is still my favourite regardless of what has happened this season even though they did not meet up with appearing in the top leagues in the season and haven't failed behind in both International and local league, this only open them up to more time to prepare ahead for the next seasons.

If players are injured then of course they need a break, there is no doubt about that. But it is also always a tightrope act when you as a coach decide to give players a break before big matches. You don't want to get them out of their routines, out of their shape either. There are examples for both situations when coaches gave not enough breaks, but also when they gave very long breaks to top players who then had problems to return to normal out of a sudden when the game started and they had to switch gears from nothing to the maximum. If it is about injuries, sure giving a break is the right and only way to go, but you want your players to keep going and keep their level as well until the final takes place.

I think when you played until May, just because you would have a single game break doesn't mean that you would be out of match shape or anything like that. Everyone does that, if a player manages to do like 6-7 games a month for 2-3 months, then getting one break is nothing at all, it's just a rest and I am sure that they really needed that.

I know that it is not going to be that much of a trouble for them, it's going to end up being something a bit more towards what we can be doing in the end and that's what I assume will work for them in the end. I know that we are going to be at a situation where it will take a while but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a trouble at the end, we just need to focus on how much rest they can get from single game, not much I assume.

As I said it is about finding the right dosage. You want players to have a break and therefore you rotate between those who always play and those who are more often substitutional players, but again you also don't want to take someone out for too long. This discussion is similar to the problem that PSG is having. The play in Ligue 1 and everything is easy and out of a sudden the opponent is called Bayern or Manchester City and then they have problems to adjust to the new situation because they aren't facing that challenge permanently.

Some players even insist on playing because they feel it is better for them and I can understand that.

But I agree with you, when you take out De Bruyne for example, that is no problem because he doesn't need any time to get into the game with his maximum again. But there are other players who have more trouble to find their optimal form once they are coming from the bench a couple of times.

Well, professional players do get a lot of additional recovery when they even skip only game. It is not like with normal people. Their body conditioned to perform high and recovery quickly with all the additional support from therapists.

It looks like Barcelona have lost a lot of concentration after they won the La Liga title recently. In fact betting on Barcelona's win in the last few matches is very risky because I think they are no longer as serious as before in the remaining matches of the season. At this time Barcelona had conceded an own goal by Andreas Christensen at the start of the first half, but Barcelona dominated the game.

The absence of Araujo in the last two matches has made Barcelona look weak in defense, but about this match I think the score will change and maybe Barcelona will win in the end. Losing to Valladolid is embarrassing so I think Barcelona will send them into the relegation zone.

I was a few minutes late to watch the Barcelona vs Valladolid match. And I'm quite surprised to see the current provisional score which turns out that Valladolid has won 1 goal. The game is currently still running quite early and has only entered the 12th minute. So that one goal behind might not be difficult for Barcelona to equalize again. But if it turns out that the match will end with this result until the end then I will no longer be surprised. Because Barcelona currently does not have a strong ambition to get full points. because this season's championship trophy is confirmed to be in their hands. But I hope that at least Barcelona can score in this match. Because this match will be boring without many goals being scored. because if in a different situation Barcelona would definitely win in this fight.

Apart from just maintaining a winning record and maintaining performance, in my opinion Barcelona is no longer concerned with winning. Barcelona is likely to suffer a second defeat of the day after being beaten by Real Sociedad at Camp Nou. Currently Barcelona are 2-0 behind Valladolid which might be difficult to balance if in the first half Valladolid managed to defend strongly.

I'm not sure if Xavi really wants his team to lose 2 games in a row, but this could happen towards the end of the season. Valladolid will move out of the relegation zone if they beat Barcelona, ​​but of course only if Getafe lose to Real Betis.

Things are getting out of hand when Barcelona is declared champions; they're hesitant in games, exhausted from catching up with the players. Xavi Hernandez must strengthen his club in order to return to winning ways. Valladolid leads Barcelona 2-0. After surrendering a goal in less than two minutes, Christensen's own goal, Cyle Larin hits a spectacular kick into the opponents goal post, the referee awarding a penalty in favor of the home team. Losing 2nil in the first half, the blaugrana will probably come back in the second half, considering there is still time for Barcelona to get back into the game.

It usually happens once a team are declared champions, so I am not surprised that they are being led by 2 goals to zero at half-time. The players tend to relax as there is no more motive to play for hard except maybe play for pride.

On the other hand Real Valladolid is in a relegation battle. A win tonight puts them 3 points above the relegation zone but with a one more game played than the other teams.

as you said that barcelona really lost control after they locked the Laliga title because in the previous match they lost to Real Sociedad and in today match where Valladolid managed to lead 2-0 for the first half. Well, on the one hand, this result did not have a bad impact on them, but I think they are not playing professionally in showing their strength as the strongest team in Laliga. For valladolid, if they manage to get full points or they are able to maintain this advantage until the end of the match, it is certainly very important for them because they are able to widen the distance from the relegation zone team.

We will watch this second half and hope that Valladolid can play more impressively in balancing the game from Barcelona because they really need 3 points in today match.

The motivation is a little less and this is really not very good actually if you look at the current conditions for Barcelona because if they continue this trend they will take a little too long to get up.
Maybe the current season won't have much of an impact but I'm afraid it's developing a bit for the worse.
Their performance is still the same as before but indeed their intention to score goals is still very disturbed, especially in this match which makes this a little troublesome.
The score hasn't changed and Barcelona are still trying, it's just that if you look at their current conditions they seem really a little dull for finishing.

Barcelona game in today's match was quite good in my opinion but they yet failed to score even though they had quite a lot of opportunities in the first half. well, the second half has started and we will see how Barcelona can turn things around in this second half or they will lose again.

I see that Lewandowski has had several golden opportunities, but Jordi still managed to block his shot in this match.  valladolid can come back to winning ways if they can end this match with a win because they have performed quite badly in the last 5 matches in Laliga. for the current standings they are in 17th place and their position is not safe enough from the threat of the team below.

[terrorJR]

I think Sociedad and Girona will each score three points tonight... I have no doubts about Sociedad, and the odds on their win are not bad 1.4... Bookmakers are giving odds of 3.6 for Girona to win... Girona are one step away from the Eurocups... And playing well in recent matches, which is not the case for Celta...

Too bad that didn't happen for Girona.
But indeed their match was quite interesting and 1 point was still good enough, it's just that with this their position was threatened and they failed to shift Bilbao for the Conference league position.
Girona's dominance in possession was quite good, it's just that they always conceded because of their own mistakes which made the match a little difficult for them, especially in terms of opportunities.

They seem like a very good team in terms of attack but quite bad in finishing in this competition.
15 attempted kicks only 5 on target so far which makes this a little regrettable. Including Dembele has also not seen his contribution so far and this may be another defeat for them.

Sometimes I wonder why things don't seem to work out just the way it was planned...my imaginations normally lead me to understanding that - apparently, players do train well under a good orientation - just that some things were meant to be just the way it is.
Xavi shouldn't be giving up by this time when he knows he's only got a limited time to make his team the best... Most other times, I think he should also try making use of other formations and strategies. Valladolid has really been pressing on since FIRST half and I feel barca could have a chance, who knows?

What's the point of dominating the game while the team is 3 goals behind Valladolid without scoring anything.
Valladolid used correctly their opportunities and Barcelona wasted it. I believe barce play without the positive stress of fighting for La Liga title since they already secured it. Yet, it is shameful to see them lose badly that way. There is still 10 minutes left in the game but I don't expect much from them.

The thing about history is that it will always remember every record. Barcelona players have clearly not taken this
game with Real Valladolid Seriously enough to want to win it. For Lewandoski, he has always been more focused on his personal record of scoring many goals, he will celebrate this game personally because he was able to score one goal to add to the number of goals he has scored this season for Barcelona.

Barcelona lost again in the match this time, even against Valladolid which is a small club. I really understand that whatever the result Barcelona will be the winner of this La Liga. However, does it have to be like this? Wouldn't it be better if they could at least put on a good performance at the end of the season, and present an interesting spectacle for their fans? because, losing to a small team that even almost entered the relegation zone might be quite embarrassing. At least, winning with a small score is also okay. But then again, maybe they don't care about that anymore because they are still the winners in the end.

[jakdanyel]

Barcelona were the same in terms of controlling the ball at a huge percentage. But the difference was that they weren't effective as for finishing. But this doesn't matter for me at all so I wouldn't have been surprised if they conceded 5 goals instead. Because they had no goal to achieve and this was one of the matches they played for nothing.

Valladolid were really good at creating counter-attacks against their opponent here. For example their 3rd goal came just like that after a through ball. Barcelona defense wasn't very tight which helped them a lot. No matter what winning against the champion team should be a huge motivation source for Valladolid to stay in the La Liga.

By the way I appreciated Lewandowski's goal very much as well because his angle was really bad actually.

Agree with you that Barcelona didn't take this match with Valladolid very seriously but losing a 3:1 to a team like Valladolid is not a good team for a team like Barcelona who's the champions already because it will affect their record on the league already even though they have won it. About the goal that was score by Lewan, it's surely a great thing for him because he added to his number of goals and he's going to win double in his first season wieh Barcelona winning the league and becoming the highest goal scorer is indeed an individual achievement thst is worth it so I think he's goal really means a lot to him even though Barcelona lost the game and to Valladolid, I think they needed the winning more to see them escape the relegation zone and winning Barcelona has seen them move to 17th in the table I believe they are hoping to move out of relegation if they get a win in their next match.

Barcelona seems to have lost their spirit to compete against small clubs like Valladolid. They are already in their safe zone without any worries anymore, whether they win or lose, it doesn't change their position as the winners of the Spanish league this season. Meanwhile, Real Valladolid has moved out of the relegation zone and currently sits in 17th place with 38 points.
