La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Iranus]

Barcelona played very badly without Messi at the start of the season. But now they are stable enough. They try to play well enough without Messi. When Messi is in the team, they get extra strength, the players are stress-free. Then the overall performance of the team is much better.

They needed that training of playing without Messi on the pitch and the coach used a high stake gambling in archiving that. Taking the team to an UCL match without the fulcrum on the pitch. It did them good to build their confidence within themselves and the desire in the strikers to be the next dependable players in the team to be netting the goals. Now, i see no difference amongst the team play when Messi is on the pitch or not. They still struggle in the games, loose some, win some and draw the others. Its normal else, they should have been top of the table by now, a Laliga table where Atletico Madrid leads with over 10 points clear with one to game to play.

In my opinion, the only weakness of Barcelona at the moment is in their defense. Their forward lineup previously depended only on Messi. Now that dependency has largely diminished. If Barcelona's defense had been stronger, they would have been able to play better against any team.

Real Sociedad 2-0 Cadiz (The first half ended)

Real Sociedad are really close this time to finally take a victory after 4 games in La Liga. Oyarzabal are having a great match. He scored the penalty in the 26th minute and he scored his second goal in the game 8 minutes after it. He reached his 10th goal in 17 matches in La Liga this season. Cadiz player Marcos Mauro got a red card in the last minute of the first half. I don't see a problem to say R. Sociedad can even score more goals and get a huge win after weeks.

Real Sociedad are now leading by 4-1 goal. Undoubtedly they will win the match. Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice in the first half and Alexander Isak scored twice in the second half. I really enjoyed the match. But I am waiting to enjoy the match between Real Betis and Barcelona. I want to see at least one goal from Messi in this match.

[Luzin]

In my honest opinion, Real Madrid could win the La Liga 2020-21 but they need to recover their players as soon as possible. They have many injured players and they even have no normal defense ready to play. In case Atletico de Madrid doesn't fail the next couple of matches, Real Madrid will lose this league. It is not normal if Rafael Varane has to score two goals to win a match versus Huesca, one of the worst Spanish teams nowadays.

I think there is still a chance, but it's difficult. You're right, they have a lot of injured players plus they have been sold or loaned to other clubs. Injury problem, the healing of the injury depends on the type of injury because healing requires a process. I highlight Madrid's passivity in this transfer. Then buy ineffective players. I think this is a key problem Madrid in the season. This is make Zidane finds it difficult at the moment and after Ronaldo has left, but it must be through.

That added stress was probably about Messi wanting out and he wasn't playing and the president had a beef with Messi so everything looked like Barcelona was falling apart, that was the real reason why they weren't really that good at the start of the season. Now looking at what is going on, I can clearly say that Messi may or may not leave but at least he doesn't talk about it, and the president changed, and team got together and played well for many games as well so far, with or without Messi.

All of this combined turned the team to Barcelona we already know and love, Of course there was a huge trouble back in the day but they have reached second position already and they will probably keep it. I still think Athletico Madrid will be champions this year, there is still a lot of games left so we can't possible know what will happen but I think ATM have the best chance so far.

Real Sociedad 4 - 1 Cadiz
A fantastic tie for Real Sociedad who won emphatically at home to Cadiz; The win takes Sociedad to 6th position in the league standings 

Later Tonight; Real Betis will host Barcelona who are in fine form at the moment; A win for Barcelona would take them back to 3rd on the log; same points with Madrid and 7 points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid

Real Sociedad really needed a win and they took it with a huge score. It should give them more confidence in the next matches. This was the second time in a row that Cadiz conceded 4 goals.   As for Betis-Barcelona, Barcelona haven't lost for 10 matches in La Liga and they have been winning for 5 matches. These are wonderful statistics. Their competitor Betis have also been very good for 5 matches. But I think Barcelona will defeat them too and continue to fight for the championship.

Betis 2 - 3 Barcelona

barcelona without messi and the Betis almost scored a goal. it will be interesting to see  

Edit: I was forgetting: betis is winning

edit2: Messi enters and barcelona manage to win the game

he is the king of Barcelona:



The question I ask myself: would barcelona be able to win many games without Messi?


The goal of the trincao was very beautiful!

Betis 0 - 0 Barcelona

barcelona without messi and the Betis almost scored a goal. it will be interesting to see 

I think tonight Betis will do it if he manages to keep his nets clean. It will be a real crisis for Barcelona, ​​giving Atletico more opportunity to win the title this season.

Betis 1 - 0 Barcelona

Edit: I was forgetting: betis is winning

The second half has just started and we will see what Barcelona will do without Messi. I'd like to say that they were terrible in the first half. Betis are not a team to be underestimated. Barcelona have a difficult job to do. If Barcelona don't make their performance better in this half, Betis can even win the game. If Barcelona score, I think Griezmann will be the scorer.

EDIT: Messi is still in the subs and I wonder if we will see him playing in this match.

Messi was brought in and It didn't take long for him to make an immediate impact, He's Barcelona on levelled terms...

Barcelona are playing way better now, there's still about 30 minutes to complete the comeback

[ingiltere]

EDIT: Messi is still in the subs and I wonder if we will see him playing in this match.

Messi just scored a great goal from right two minutes after he came to pitch. Until that time Barcelona had only one shot on goal. Now we can see a comeback from Barcelona. They put pressure over Betis defenders.
We can see winning goal anytime now. I suggest you to place bets before Messi score his second.

Fun fact: 7 recent games between Betis and Barca ended with at least 5 goals scored. It simply can't be low scoring game
Today we saw Messi effect, his substitution really changed the game. And what a goal by Trincao! Busquets was awful today, his mistakes almost killed Barca.
I hope Araujo injury isn't serious, he already become one of key players in defense for Barca.

[nelson4lov]

Another hard fought victory for Barcelona and vital 3 points in the bag as rewards. I'd like to point out that Barcelona needs to fix it defensive problems if they're still serious about winning the La liga this season. They played good tonight but it would've been a lot more easier to win if they don't have to pull level or fight hard to get back on level terms. Once Koeman has gotten the defense back to top form, winning games shouldn't be a problem. Impressed with recent performances. Real Betis wasn't too bad. They gave Barcelona a run for their money. That own goal was just unfortunate.

As it stands, Barca is just 7 points short of Atlético's (not forgetting outstanding games).

[DIA7]

Yep this match was naive from Barcelona and it had many defensive mistakes, fortunately they got the full points despite Real Betis’s presentation of a very distinctive offensive match .
Messi and his influence was the keyword in Barça's return with the result, and Trincao was a super subhe scored a goal that might earn him a few minutes as a starting point in the upcoming matches .
Koman still raises questions about His basic formation, rotation and substitution, and almost paid the price.

Preferred to see that game end with a draw so ATM can keep a safe space in addition to the 2 lacking games

Such strong-willed victories, when the team concedes in the score, and then snatches the victory at the end of the match, are also useful for the team's morale, which is not as strong as in the previous time. Also good news is that Messi scored his next goal again two minutes after taking the field. The gap is not so huge, considering also that Real Madrid and Sevilla are involved in the chase next to each other.

That is the reason why Barcelona still need Messi so much. He is a player who can make a difference to Barcelona's game and quite often get Barcelona players excited just because he comes in. Barcelona's win today was one big effort after they came close to sharing the points, and Trincau managed to end the game with a win.

Not much has changed in the standing at the moment. Barcelona still keep the opportunity to continue to pursue Atletico Madrid even though the point are too far. I hope Atletico have a bad night in the upcoming game. That will provide opportunities for the two team below him to get close to Atletico's point. Good that Barcelona still outperformed Real Madrid, previously there were doubt that this was a match that might cause Barcelona to lose. But victory is the sweet end result.

I was completely disappointed and angry to see Barcelona's play-style in the first half. They played defensively, but there was no coordination between the players. But in the second half, they went back to their old form. And won the match with 3 goals. I think it's a new match strategy of Koeman's.
Although Barcelona won the match, I would say their defense is very poor. It is difficult to accept such a bad defense of a world class team like Barcelona. I doubt if this defense will be able to put up any resistance against a strong team.

what is a new strategy, to play just in the second half , just joking
it was a tough match for Barca, but an important win to keep with Sevilla and Real, obviously those will be top four teams

Osasuna made it finally, against Elche, and Valencia took point in Bilbao, seems that better times are coming for Valencia

what about Celta tonight, could they made it on Monday? it is usual to have disruption on Monday, so I will give them a try, just for statistics, form and play are on Atletico side for sure
