La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Adams0001]

I do agree that there are still so many games to go but no matter what happens along the way, I can almost guarantee that the top two will be Madrid and Barcelona. They are just way too good and not even close to other teams, they are just far better. It's all about who will be the winner at the end of the season.

I still think that Real Madrid will face a lot of trouble along the way and I think Barcelona doesn't have that type of trouble, which will result with something different and they will have easier path. But that's just what I think, maybe I could be wrong but looks like Real will face a lot of drama all season long, even a single injury ends up making them face troubles that would be hard to overcome.

Barcelona can win the league because they have all the quality that a club needs, they are in better form than Real Madrid this season, but Madrid have the strength that will make them win the cup, but I am sure if Madrid players come back from injury, I will say Madrid are the owners of the laliga league this season Madrid are missing Vini jr, which is affecting really Madrid this season I believe Madrid can defeat Barcelona this season and win the laliga cup because I see there have started leading Barca with 2 point already we can consider who will win the laliga league after playing the El clasico first and second leg next month.

I think Madrid focus now is on the bigger Champions League, when they meet ATM, Vinicius and Arda Guler looks like he will be available again. So Ancelotti will try his best for their first match this time, the match will start soon.

I haven't found any information on Vini and Arda Guller at the moment but it is hoped that Vini will be available for Madrid in this derby.
Honestly, in the last 2 matches including today's match, they have always brought home 3 points but there is a change where the strategy with 2 strikers and 1 second striker that Madrid has always done is now a little problematic.
I don't expect a decline in Madrid's performance but seeing them in the last 2 matches a little hassle in scoring goals this should be a reference for Ancelotti to be able to find a new scheme because if not then the scheme that Madrid has been using with 4-3-1-2 is increasingly read by opponents.

Sad news for Atlético. It seems to me that this will be a continuation of the stagnation that has been going on in the club for several years. I doubt that Atlético will win the title again “using the old textbooks” or reach the Champions League final as they once did.

The club owners are not very interested in the performance of the club. They are more interested in profit maximization. As of 2021, it was reported that Diego Simeone is the coach who has generated more revenue than any other coach in the world. It was estimated that he has generated up to €1billion from sales and transfers of players for Atletico Madrid. I think Simeone should leave the cub because he is now experiencing the principle of diminishing returns. But the problem will be who to replace him since quality coaches are rare. Simone is a good coach, he might be able to win trophies if he leaves Atletico maybe to England.

The relationship between coach and club is so close that Diego Simeone is still with them today. This is not the first time talking about Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid. Last season was even deeper in the conversation about replacing the coach at Atletico Madrid, but until now he is still with them.
Indeed, I also saw a decline in the performance of this one coach, but I don't know exactly why that happened. Because it could be that the strategy he uses has been realized by their opponents so that it is easy for opponents to read the direction of Atletico Madrid's game.

Simeone fails to win a major trophy this season with Atletico Madrid should not be backed further he's headed the club for a long time. Now it's time to embrace change. They are too defensive and that's boring. Real Madrid against Atletico Madrid  on Sunday should be daunting task for Real Madrid. Narrow escape tonight, doubt if they'll get that  narrow win against Atm on Sunday.

Real Madrid went upstairs to top the table today with the help of Jude Bellingham's later winner yet again. He should be the signature of the season.

Sevilla? They should have had a double win after weekend triumph over Las Pamas. A win against Lens showing up in the Champions League for the first time should have given them better advantage.

I fully support your opinion if the match against Getafe at the beginning of last season was an interesting and tense match when Getafe players used this physical touch several times. I was actually worried that there would be injuries to the Barcelona players.

On the one hand, Getafe's performance is actually quite good this season, they just need to improve further, especially their consistency to continue playing well against anyone. However, it cannot be denied that Getafe's playing style can be said to be quite rough. They sometimes make physical contact with opposing players. This happened not only when playing against Barcelona, which in fact, if we look at it, they made physical contact several times on purpose and were quite rough which resulted in red cards being issued to their players, even Barcelona too... At that time, the match looked very tough. And this also happened again where Getafe players were also given a red card for a foul against Osasuna. Luckily they were ahead first and won the match.

There hasn't been the slightest mistake found in Real Madrid's performance, Ancelotti has succeeded in covering up the lack of players in his team with the tactics used so far. The presence of Jude Bellingham has had a big impact on the results achieved by Real Madrid, Ancelotti can place Bellingham as a shadow striker to achieve the team's goals. Joselu has also performed well so far, he has managed to be an ideal replacement while Vinicius is still undergoing treatment.

The Real Madrid vs Union Berlin match will be a new challenge for Joselu, he is still a mainstay on the front line as long as Vinicius is still injured. Real Madrid will continue its winning record on the Champions League stage because the opponents they face this time are not strong teams like Bayern Munich or Dortmund.

I couldn't find fault with Real Madrid's performance, but they just lacked in a few areas. Real Madrid needs strikers as we know so far, I mean in some matches Real Madrid really relies on certain players who are not strikers. Bellingham is the player I mean, but so far Real Madrid can win every match even though it is difficult.

The overall performance of the team was okay, but I completely agree that Real Madrid needs to bring in a new striker and also needs to strengthen its defense. The match against Atletico Madrid this week is very important, so of course I am very curious about what will happen there. Both teams have equal probabilities, but Atletico Madrid will probably be favored at home.

Real Madrid went upstairs to top the table today with the help of Jude Bellingham's later winner yet again. He should be the signature of the season.

But I think Simeone had a good performance so far, he did his job well and he was racing with his team in third place in the table while compared to Real Madrid and Barcelona they don't have many superstar players, also if I'm not mistaken Simeone and his team was very close to even take Real Madrid's place, which good enough to this team and their coach.

[Doell]

But the fact is that Real Madrid really had difficulty breaking into Union Berlin's goal so they had to wait 90+4 for just 1 goal when their team was completely superior. Don't you think it's something very unexpected for Real Madrid to play against a team as weak as Union Berlin?

I'm certainly not sure whether Real Madrid can win more difficult matches like against Atletico Madrid in La Liga and against Napoli in the Champions League next week. There are big doubts about them in tough matches, but so far the players' performance is quite good and at least they can win the match even though it is difficult.

Union Berlin goalkeeper and defenders too difficult to beat in that match. Even though Real Madrid had many golden opportunity, but they are not very lucky, fortunately in the last minutes their have big chance at Bellingham feet. But yeah, on the paper Real Madrid shouldn't have any difficulties against Union Berlin which is a weak team.

Considering the Atletico Madrid last match in La Liga didn't show a good performance, their lost against Valencia, and recently Diego squad only got 1 point in the UCL against Lazio. I think Real Madrid still have chance to win, although I'm not too sure either. Because yes Atletico Madrid is a big team, and they will play at home which is another advantage for them in front of supporters, so indeed it is difficult for Real Madrid to win.

Simeone dares to be different this season because when we look at how to play it looks like Simeone has the right composition of players and according to his current wishes and it can be seen when the difference that occurred last season where they always preferred to wait and counterattack quickly but for the start of this season they always tried to initiate attacks so that they could control the ball better.
On the other hand, after failing with the likes of Suarez and Joao in attack they have Griezmann and Depay who seem to have got their touch back after failing at Barcelona and in my opinion that's great .

The next match for Getafe is against Real Sociedad, we know Getafe had a good performance so far, mostly because they had a good start with a draw against Barcelona if the first week of this season, but the game against Real Sociedad can't be easily for them. However, Real Sociedad had only one win if this season and this shows us that betting on Getafe for this game is not a bad idea considering the rates.

[Litzki1990]

There is no doubt about Bellingham's performance at Real Madrid this season; he did what Real Madrid needed. His goal scoring was far good at the moment; he scored five goals out of five league matches, + booming assist. From all above, he just caught the fans attention after the late-minute winner against Union Berlin in the UEFA Champions League. It might seem that this guy, Jude Bellingham, will put himself in the Real Madrid Legends lineup.
In addition, Jude Bellingham is a very creative and possessive midfielder, and he has the ability to score despite being a midfielder, regardless of whether he can score goals like a pure striker.

I think Real Madrid made the mistake of buying a striker by buying a midfielder. Bellingham does not contribute as much to the team as a striker in the strike position from midfield. Where there was a 90% chance that the result of the match would be a draw, Bellingham brought that 90% chance to 0%. The English midfield star played a major role in the team's victory by scoring another goal late in extra time. Apart from scoring goals in every match, this star is giving great support to all the teams from the midfield. Real Madrid is always the best team because they can find talented players like Bellingham. The way Bellingham has been performing in every game, he seems to be Real Madrid's main striker, and he is not letting on that lack of a main striker in Real Madrid.

Both teams have equal probabilities, but Atletico Madrid will probably be favored at home.

The question about Real Madrid and their performance is mostly about the goals they scored in the last games. We know they have Jude Bellingham in this team to score goals for them but is this right for this team to have Bellingham scoring goals instead of the forwards? I mean Bellingham is not a forward and the other players in the front line should do that and finish the goal, not Bellingham. Maybe this means the forwards in Real Madrid are not good enough.

[Smack That Ace]

Playing at home will provide an advantage for Ancelotti squad, and of course Union Berlin is not a big problem on paper. Of course Los Blancos cannot underestimate the German representative. However, I predict that this match will feature lots of goals, Madrid can win the match with a goal margin of more than 2. Even though captain Dani Carvajal is not supported, I think Vazquez will be able to cover this hole well.

I think Madrid focus now is on the bigger Champions League, when they meet ATM, Vinicius and Arda Guler looks like he will be available again. So Ancelotti will try his best for their first match this time, the match will start soon.

At least, Real Madrid is in a group that guarantees Real Madrid will still be able to win the group. Therefore, I believe Real Madrid will not be too obsessed or force to win with a large score like Barcelona. Because after all, just winning 1-0 and or 2-0 is basically enough for Real Madrid to be at the top of group C standings.

Although indeed, I also realize that Real Madrid at this moment will focus on the Champions League, but that does not mean Real Madrid will ignore preparations for the next match also in the La Liga. Because after all, playing against Atletico is a derby match which will certainly be full of prestige. With this factor, at least Real Madrid will not overwork its players in today's match in the Champions League, because it will have consequences that may be bad too, at least to avoid injury.

Real Madrid will certainly be equally focused on the Champions League and La Liga tournaments. They dominated the Champions League last season due to which they lost the La Liga trophy to Barcelona and finished the Champions League tournament in the semi-finals. Real Madrid may not make the same mistake this time. Although it is difficult for them to plan, Real Madrid will give as much importance to the Champions League tournament this season as to the La Liga tournament. This match against Atletico Madrid is more honor match for Real Madrid than Champions League because Atletico Madrid is a tough opponent of Real Madrid so Real Madrid will definitely not want to do badly against a tough opponent. However, Real Madrid will definitely be optimistic about a win against Atletico Madrid.

The match between Real Madrid and Union Berlin was definitely a little too close for comfort for Real Madrid in my opinion. Maybe Real Madrid should have thought about bringing a decent enough striker, a little more.

The next match is against Atletico Madrid and I hope they will not be facing any big problems in that match. So far Jude Billingham has been the one scoring important goals for them. But they cannot deny the fact that they surely need a better striker compared to what they have right now. Real Madrid has been able to win every match so far and they will undoubtedly not be wanting to lose that match or even drop points which will give Barcelona a chance to catch up with them and get ahead of them.

Real Madrid have no issue with the result as at the end they got three points and it's enough for them. I don't think Real Madrid will need to get too good goal difference in this group because they can go next without it. They lacked of luckiness to have goals in at least two shots but in other situations, they must finish opportunities better.

The next match is against Atletico Madrid and I hope they will not be facing any big problems in that match. So far Jude Billingham has been the one scoring important goals for them. But they cannot deny the fact that they surely need a better striker compared to what they have right now. Real Madrid has been able to win every match so far and they will undoubtedly not be wanting to lose that match or even drop points which will give Barcelona a chance to catch up with them and get ahead of them.

Real Madrid have better form than Atletico Madrid but they need their attacking players to be more precisely with their shots. From Rodrygo, Joselu to Valverde, Modric and Kroos, Camavinga, those players must sharpen their shot skills with better accuracy because Jude Bellingham's good streak can stop anytime.

If Jude stops to score winning goals for them, they will need to have other players to do this. Atletico Madrid are no longer strong in both defense and attacking like some seasons ago but they are able to block their box and protect their goalkeeper. Oblak is still one of best goalkeepers globally and he can help Atletico Madrid to get one point from the Madrid derby.

Probably BTTS/Draw.


I don't even think picking one from both will be good. Sociedad is not placed under getafe at this moment. Both of clubs are still very inconsistent at this moment.
Sociedad being favored in this match but getafe is also possible in coming back again to steal point from sociedad. The hardest task to predict which will win the game between two inconsistent clubs.

What's your pick from those two?

I prefer BTTS.

This was a very interesting match. Throughout the whole match, Real Madrid was very dominating. But they were unable to score. but again at the very end of the match, on 94th minute, Jude Bellingham showed why he is definitely the best signing that Real Madrid has made in recent times. He was able to score for Real Madrid to win the match. It was definitely going to be a little weird to see Real Madrid lose a match in which they had more than 75% possession. But thanks to Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid was able to win that match without much problems. But I think as Real Madrid approaches harder competition, they will feel more of a need for a good striker.

Real Sociedad has a greater chance of winning than Getafe and will playingat home. I thinks it will make it easier for them to face the matches against Getafe later. But even so, Getafe can't be underestimated because Getafe is in good condition this seasons, this will be a quite difficult matchs in their prediction only 1 point difference in the standing and I hoped Real Sociedad is able to beat Getafe in this match. I thinks Imanol Alguacil and his men were able to appear impressive and improve their clubs performance so they can get point and move up from the current table.

The BTTS option is the most sensible and I think these two teams will score goals because it is possible that no one wants this match to end in a draw. Maybe even though Real Sociedad's position so far is still below Getafe, it is clear that since last season, Real Sociedad has proven its performance by finishing in 4th position. I think Real Sociedad will achieve victory, especially since they were the hosts, and in the previous meeting they also succeeded in overthrowing Getafe. Apart from that, Real Sociedad is indeed targeting the next win after they were shackled in their opening match too many times with 3 draws.

[borovichok]

However, Real Sociedad had only one win if this season and this shows us that betting on Getafe for this game is not a bad idea considering the rates.

I won't underestimate any sides, both teams will make tougher fights when they clash. Real Sociedad are ranked 11th position on the league table, they have a good running defendlines, they might as well used it against their opponent in next game. Real Sociedad hosting Getafe in their next game at Reale arena. Imanol Alguacil Barrenetxea is ambitious and capable of handling the team this season. Real Sociedad do have quite remarkable record against Geta Azulones, we're aware about the fierce competition in La Liga but only the best and consistent clubs will qualified for good positions and lifts trophies.

[Iranus]

Jude Bellingham is a young striker, and the way he has scored for Real Madrid at the start of the new season has been truly remarkable.

Jude Bellingham is not a pure striker, he is more of a Central Midfielder and he has developed very well in that position, not only providing assists but even more goals than the assists he has provided for his club. So Real Madrid got a young player who has great potential to become a star and bring Real Madrid back to the Laliga title.
Today Real Madrid will host Union Berlin in the Champions League, Bellingham has played in the Bundesliga which will give a strong insight into the pattern of play of his opponent, and Bellingham scoring a goal in this match is very likely to happen.

Jude Bellingham is just a good players that knows how to use is position very well , as you can see jude Bellingham have been so productive in every game for Real Madrid since the beginning of the season.  Bellingham is one of the best signing of Real Madrid this season. I think with a player like jude Bellingham in Real Madrid their will be a huge difference in the  performance of Real Madrid in laliga and champions league. Real Madrid meeting union Berlin in Champions league will be very interesting which I know Real Madrid will dominate the game .

There is no doubt that Bellingham is an excellent player. He is consistently performing well in every match in La League. Benzema's absence from the squad is not explained much by Bellickham's consistent good performances. Besides, one of the most important players in Madrid's squad, Vini, is out of the squad due to injury. Joselu and Bellingham have been playing well in almost every match. If Vini, Joselu and Bellingham play well I think Madrid have the ability to dominate the Champions League as well. Ancelotti is an experienced coach. I believe that the team will be able to play consistently well with the help of Ancelotti's excellent match strategy.

So far everything has gone as Ancelotti wanted. I'm thinking of watching the match between Union Berlin and Madrid this evening. If I can watch the match, I will pay attention to Joselu. He started to perform better than expected in the last matches. Frankly, it might be right to talk about it as a transfer that can fill the lack of a striker. Vinicius must immediately return to the team and contribute.

In the end, Bellingham's goal saved Madrid. Bellingham proved his mettle once again. Even as a midfielder, he is serving as a striker in Madrid's squad. Madrid dominated from the beginning of the match. But Bellingham scored the only goal of the match after 90 minutes in extra time. But Joselu and Modrich's performances were also excellent. However, we are not getting a good performance from Rodrygo, one of Madrid's young strikers. Now, if they want to maintain the consistency of performance, Madrid need Vinicius very much. Because Madrid will face stronger opponents in the future.

[jakdanyel]

Striker is a word used for forward players not for midfielders. Bellingham is a central midfielder who is used as an attacking midfielder by Ancelotti now. He has been doing a great job in his new position as well. He is the top scorer of the team at the moment. In Vinicius' absence he is taking an extra responsibility.

Real Madrid have taken a risk by not signing a new striker to fill Benzema's place maybe but so far everything is fine. But seeing them struggling to score a goal against Union Berlin was worrying to me. I hope Joselu - Rodrygo duo become more productive in the Champions League too.
