La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

I wonder what could have been the future of Real Madrid without a Karim Benzema. He's really living up to his expectation by the team and just as always, he scored a brace both very important goals in the game that seals the 3 points for Real Madrid. I like it when I see Eden Hazard on the score sheet, I really mean for his success as he was in Chelsea. He's season in Madrid haven't been a very pleasant one to watch but, this is where his got much proving to so especially for a team in disarray like this one. Real Madrid and Zidane needs some consistency.

Sevilla 3  -  0 Cadiz

A Youssef En-Nesyri hattrick guided Sevilla to  convincing 3 nil win over Cadiz, a very crucial win which takes Sevilla to 33 points, 1 points behind the top 4 places (34). Sevilla has 2 unplayed matches to their advantage.

Another result in this match was not to be expected. It was obvious that Sevilla would win. I hope that they will continue to play like that. Ahead of the game with Eibar in which they are more likely to win the match again

Now comes the second half of the match Huesca vs Villarreal, the score so far is 0-0...  The odds on Villarreal's victory are 2.2... I think I can take a chance and get an easy x2

the game ended in a draw, Villareal wasted some good opportunities to score a goal:

1 - Moi Gómez, failed to score and was in a very good position

2 - Moi Gómez, again instead of passing to the colleague who was in a better position, he preferred to shoot and the ball just didn't even have a good result


Alaves 1 - 4 Real Madrid

 

casemiro goal was spectacular, the goalkeeper had no chance to defend. Karim Benzema is an excellent player and in every game he shows how important he is in real madrid. now there are 4 points of difference with Atletico, for that we have to pray that Atletico will lose many games

Why do you hate Koeman so much and want Koeman to be fired, I think Koeman is a good coach. But Barcelona do have to get rid of some players who
are no longer effective, and bring in new players who are more potential. Hopefully Barcelona will succeed in bringing in Memphis Depay and Donyell
Malen, so that Barcelona's front line will be more productive. For the Elche vs Barcelona match I am sure Barcelona will win easily.

I dislike him exactly and everyone called Mr I know everything and Mr I am the best. I don't feel Barcelona improved significantly with him, ok lately they won a couple of games but they are still lagging, not convincing, they lost Supercoppa and maybe CL soon and +10 points behind the front runner in La Liga. Do you recognise this Barca? His legacy is just disputes (cold war) between him and the players. Why should I be impressed with him..

Elche vs. Barcelona

What do you think about this match? Barcelona need to win and they are favorite but Barcelona odds are too low.
Messi is missing again for red card? We should expect goals from Griezmann.

I think the absence of Lionel Messi will affect the performance of the team in a bad way. But they have a really weak opponent in this game. I expect Griezmann to score goal(s). I also think that Barcelona will win this game without problem.

Agreed with you they are going to face a weak opponent that's why I don't expecting for a shocking result and it would be easy for Barcelona to beat them. Barcelona has golden chance to get 3 point into this match in case of bad luck it will get them into more deep trouble but it has very rare chance.

Barca will face Elche tomorrow, hope they will fail without Messi. I just want to see Koeman getting kicked.

You seem to hate Koeman, I think he's a good coach. He is very experienced in coaching the Team. Then for the match, even without messi, Barcelona should still be more favored to win. They have better players. The unbeaten trend in the last seven matches makes them even more confident, plus Barca's game record is superior. I think Barca will win at least 2-0.

Clearly Barcelona is favorite in this match. It won't be tough for Barcelona to gain a victory without Messi as the opponent is too weak. Now I'm watching the match between Osasuna vs. Granada. By observing the history and past matches I thought Granada will win this match. But Osasuna have scored two goals in the first half and leading the match.

I gave my answer above
Whenever there is good results, that coach is awesome (Zidane, Pirlo...) and whenever the results aren't good or even catastrophic then everyone will start being crazy and ask for him to be sacked. I am being reasonable and anticipating all this drama before PSG matches

[ingiltere]

Celta Vigo have 4, Eibar have 3 games losing streak. I think today Celta Vigo will end this bad streak and will get the win. They have to finish that point drought, they are pretty close to relegation zone.
Last year both matches finished 0-0, previous season Eibar won both games. All matches finished under 2.5 goals. I wouldn't play for under 2.5 goals this time tough. Because this season both teams played matches with lots of goals. I'd prefer to stay away from goal bets for this game.

[Harkorede]

A better first half performance from Barcelona with a goal lead over Elche, the team dominated the play from the get go, they looked really comfortable with the ball, even with Lionel Messi absence on the pitch, Dembele has been the best player on the pitch today, imo.

[BIT-BENDER]

Barcelona has started to live in preparation of Messi ending times at the New camp, they weren't at their worst today with out him, but they could have played better, they are ahead with an own goal, but it could have been score my griezman, am expecting a better performance second half from Barca, no complacency other wise they get scored by Elche

Please worry, of course there will be a bit of change if Messi has left Barcelona, but I am sure Koeman can handle it, there are still some of the best players left, maybe Griezman can still be counted on for the main front lines but in this game I think this is not satisfactory, especially just created just 1 goal.
But at the end of Messi's term, Barcelona must be able to change for the better because they know that star players will always shine when they are at a new club.

Real Madrid is certainly doing all their best to get to top but they have 2 ties in the last 5 games whereas Athletico has 5 wins out of 5 last games, they are really not letting anyone catch up, with 2 games behind now they are still 4 points ahead, that is really a huge gap.

It is really an exciting situation for Atheltico Madrid. Let me put it this way on how unlikely what they are doing really is; last time Athletico madrid was champions it was 2013-2014 season, about 7-8 years ago, you may think that is not really that bad right? Champion that wasn't real Madrid or Barcelona in the past 20 years? 2, one valencia and one athletico madrid we talked about. Champions that wasn't Real or Barça in the last 30 years? Five. So as you can see it is a very very rare thing to see someone other than Real or Barça to win the league and Athletico is on their way to do that once again after 7-8 years. This is very very exciting to me.

Barcelona was favorite to win , as they normal are but yet again, they struggled to find this victory as the 2nd goal came kinda late and if Elche would've scored 1 goal , the result of the game would be tottaly different.

Last night, I liked the comeback of Betis as they scored twice in 6 minutes to make a draw. What I don't like about Betis is the fact they are not a consistent team...they can beat anyone and they can lose with anyone.

[LTU_btc]

Maybe it wasn't easy win and game weren't the most exciting one, but win is win. Barca now unbeaten in 9 La Liga games in a row. Not bad achievement, considering that we haven't played at home for 1 month and only next weekend we will return to Camp Nou to play against Athletic.
I'm very happy that Puig scored his first goal for Barcelona. Also, de Jong had very solid game, goal + assist.

Yes i think so they demonstrated that in the last matches they are playing well without messi even in these last matches and i think that they should prepare for his leave because he will retire sooner or later but barcelone must keep playing for titles and they have young players with potential.

What an unbelievable performance so far. Barcelona have had an awesome form (7W 2D) in the league. In this game, the score was 1-0 for too long that I started thinking whether Barcelona might lose points. But they scored the second goal in the 89th minute and secured the win.

It's always nice to see Barcelona able to ensure 3 points from every match they play. They have got at least 23 points in the last 9 games and I think this is extraordinary for a team that is doubtful top of the table at the end of the season.

De Jong and Puig have ensured Barcelona's unbeaten streak continues in LaLiga, and now I only hope that Atletico Madrid will play poorly so that the competition in the table can be better by a not too big point difference.
