La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Barcelona was just lucky to come back after being two goals down. Celta parked the bus adopting a 5-3-2 formation which made the game frustrating for Barca. It became worse after they conceived the goal. But the changes in the second half put more pressure on the Celta Vigo but it also opened up the Barca defense for the counterattack of the host. Barca will be grateful that the breakthrough came in the last minutes of the game.

Robert Lewandowski and João Cancelo gave the club the needed goals that made them grab the maximum three points. Xavi has not been able to assemble a steady squad that can win games without struggling too much. Barca needs to do some work in its defense because they are finding it difficult to withstand counterattacks.  I was disappointed with the result,  I feel that Celta deserves to get at least a point for the hard work they put in this game. Barca will just hope Real Madrid loses or gets a draw against Atlético Madrid for them to remain at the top.

And sometimes such luck is completely expected when the non-favorite team is just very focused on defending and counterattacking. If only Celta Vigo played attacking, then I think Barcelona could break down the defense without much problem, but Rafael Benitez wasn't brave enough to do that.

Barcelona's tempo of play improved after they fell behind by two goals through Celta Vigo's counterattack, but I am grateful that in the end Barcelona managed to make a perfect comeback thanks to two goals from Lewandowski and one goal from Cancelo. Celta Vigo also managed to complicate Real Madrid's previous winning plans, but in the end Celta Vigo also lost by Bellingham's 1 goal.

This time Barcelona really showed their quality by making an extraordinary comeback even though in critical minutes and being 2 goals behind, Barcelona was able to turn things around by scoring 3 goals and making Barcelona win.
Lewandowski can be criticized many times, but his sharpness does not just disappear. In this match, he appeared at critical moments to become a hero for Barcelona.
In the 81st minute, Lewandowski scored after using Felix's chip pass which at first glance seemed impossible to convert into a goal.
Then in the 85th minute, Lewandowski quickly broke free from the control of the Celta defender to freely receive a cutback from Cancelo.
Cancelo also scored a goal. He was the one who decided Barcelona's victory in this match in the 89th minute.

An extraordinary comeback for Barcelona, and even though Barcelona dominated the game, I thought they would lose or draw considering that in the 80th minute they had not been able to score a goal and were 0-2 behind Celta. And it turned out that the 80th minute was lucky for Barcelona because they were able to score 3 goals against Celta, and these goals were scored by Lewandowski in the 81st, 85th and Cancelo 89th minutes.
And the two goals scored by Lewandowski against Celta made Lewandowski the joint top scorer in La Liga.

The meeting between these two clubs will always be with high tension, yes that's because in addition to playing they also risk prestige if they have to lose in a derby match like this. Real Madrid come with the target of extending their winning record in La Liga this season, while Atletico Madrid want to break the winning streak achieved by Real Madrid this season.
I think Atletico Madrid will provide more escort for a J Bellingham, not without reason, but they do it because J Bellingham is a player who can be a difference for Real Madrid. In their Champions League match alone this player became the hero of Real Madrid's victory.

Atletico Madrid can not only guard Bellingham, but all Real Madrid players are very dangerous. I believe Atletico Madrid has home advantage in today's derby, but Real Madrid remains the favorite considering their good form so far. I suspect Real Madrid can win this match and the worst possible result is a draw.

Real Madrid will not accept defeat because they really want to lead the standings from the first to the end of the season. A draw would obviously be bad for them, but the possibility of it is always there. However, there are slight differences in the line-up and Ancelotti's strategy in this match. Bellingham, who has played as an attacking midfielder in his last 6 matches, is trusted as a striker to accompany Rodrygo. Ancelotti played Modric as an attacking midfielder, while Kross, Camavinga and Valverde played as central midfielders and defensive midfielders.

The first derby match of the season between Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid will be held today at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium. Atletico Madrid, who is playing at home, doesn't seem to be superior to their guests, who have so far wiped out all the points contested in the last 5 matches. Real Madrid came for the ambition of winning the match, but I am sure that Real Madrid's big ambitions today will not be realized easily.

Both teams have strong defenses so I don't think there are many goals to expect in this match. Atletico Madrid, which usually has a hard style of play in derby matches, may have to avoid potential red cards if they don't want to lose, but I think Real Madrid will perform well to take home 3 points from this match.

Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid are both playing well, but Real Madrid is the stronger team. I am confident that Madrid will try their hardest to take three points home, but it will be a difficult game for them this evening. Since the start of the season, Real Madrid has played well without losing a match, and I believe that they will continue to do so, Athletico Madrid will give Madrid some difficulty time in the match because they were good this season, and Madrid won 2_1 lead last season, madrid won't allow athletico Madrid to win or draw with them because Barcelona will have the advantage to lead them in the table.

I can say it is not luck because Barcelona has been putting pressure on them since the start of the match, but Celta Vigo has the chance to score in the match, but in the second half they start playing defensive games and is not support to be like that, because you are leading your opponent you will start playing defensive games and Barcelona are in good form since they bought Cancelo in Manchester City and Felix in Athletico Madrid they make Barcelona stronger than before, xavi is a good coach is building the team well, if Madrid mistakenly lose today match Barcelona will top and very sure Barca fans are praying Madrid to lose against Athletico Madrid this night, this will be are tough match to watch.

Ancelotti must prepare for the players who will come from the second line, I mean when the players who have been the difference in the past are tightly guarded, Real Madrid must pass other players who can replace the role. Usually when a club focuses on one player or one who is very dangerous, it creates a space that can then be exploited by other players who are not heavily guarded.
The variety of attacks must also come from all directions, because when there are difficulties in penetrating the opponent's defense, they will still have many ways. And one of them will definitely boil down to the midfielder who will be the creator in this match.

Atletico Madrid's performance at the start of this season has been inconsistent, but they have 1 game postponed compared to most other teams. Atletico Madrid have only won 2 of the 4 games they have played, but they have a good plan to beat Real Madrid today.

So far Real Madrid have won 3 of their last 5 matches against Atletico Madrid, so we should all know who will be the favorite to win this derby match. The match will be played in the next half hour, so I'm waiting for it. 1-1 and 1-2 are the most likely results regarding the outcome of this derby match, but Atletico Madrid seems ready to park the bus in this match.

I can say it is not luck because Barcelona has been putting pressure on them since the start of the match, but Celta Vigo has the chance to score in the match, but in the second half they start playing defensive games and is not support to be like that, because you are leading your opponent you will start playing defensive games and Barcelona are in good form since they bought Cancelo in Manchester City and Felix in Athletico Madrid they make Barcelona stronger than before, xavi is a good coach is building the team well, if Madrid mistakenly lose today match Barcelona will top and very sure Barca fans are praying Madrid to lose against Athletico Madrid this night, this will be are tough match to watch.

I'm sure Xavi worked hard to increase his players' motivation in the second half. Celta Vigo didn't just play defensively because they were superior. but because Barcelona put so much pressure on them, they didn't give Celta Vigo players many opportunities to control the ball for too long.
Barcelona players showed extraordinary spirit. 3 goals in a short time really makes some fans in disbelief. but this is football when one team has lost focus on playing and the attacking team sees weaknesses in the other team. So it's not luck there, but hard work that has been done.

There really is a Barcelona spirit. They turn a game that was thought to be a dead rubber. They go through when they thought they were eliminated. They're a great team. Gavi has turned into a great player in the last few weeks, he's getting into duels with almost everyone, he's pressing well and he's also playing vertically now. I think Gavi has turned into a better player than Pedri. No one has praised them but Ilkay and felix bring an incredible magic to Barcelona, they can do anything on the pitch at any moment and shoot and pass for goals, they are incredible players. This year barca is playing football that is very enjoyable to watch, especially the youngsters, they create a lot of excitement.

Barcelona epic come-back against Celta Vigo to give them an extreme desired victory. The blaugrana are in their very best form this season, having tough time in first and second half against the visitors who were leading 2 nil. This is football, alot of things can changed, impossible circumstances comes into existence, watching the performance of barca from 81 to 89 minutes, they scored their desired goals and dominated the game, incredible win for Xavi Hernandez. The coach really work and bring his team this far, they're in the tough race for La Liga title this season.

[el kaka22]

I feel like Vini will join in later, or at the very least he should be. Why? Because he was injured and that means that he is not ready for a 90 minute game, we all know that however, we are also talking about not playing 60 minutes right off the bat neither, that would be terrible for him.

I think the best would be just warming him up with 20-25 minutes at the 70th minute or so subbing him in, so that he gets a bit more in shape and gets used to it. After that one more game of 30 minutes and then he can start the games but this time he will be the one who gets subbed out at 60th-70th minutes, and then he can play all 90 minutes. That's how you ease a player back into his shape and make him play as long as possible after an injury.

But besides that, at least in the existing head to head records that indeed, Celta Vigo sometimes managed to beat Barcelona. So yes, it is also quite reasonable that at least Barcelona must make greater efforts to be able to beat Celta Vigo in this match. What's more, this match is also not played at Camp Nou, so even though Barcelona is playing at home, but the match is played at a different stadium. So yes, maybe that factor also at least makes Celta Vigo manage to provide difficult resistance to Barcelona in this match.

The match between Athletico Madrid and Real Madrid has just begun, and Real Madrid has a better chance of winning this game tonight because Athletico Madrid has only won one match on this stadium, which was last year 2022.

Real Madrid started this season in a superb form and they haven't drawn or lost any match so far. Who knows if tonight that record will be broken. Athletico Madrid on the other hand will want to make sure that they stop Real Madrid from having three points today.

Morata has done it within the first three minutes of the game with a good finish to score the first goal in the match. It is 1-0 against Real Madrid.

[tusandii]

Firstly I was disappointed that Barcelona was loosing even up until the seventieth minutes, not only were they loosing they were two goals behind which made it look like they weren't going to win as it was almost a hopeless situation until Barcelona scored their first goal, hope was not fully restored until the second goal and finally a third goal which ended the game.

It's been a while since Barcelona ever did a comeback such as this I mean to score three goals within eight minutes to win a game they were two goals behind that I must say was the height of brilliance. I did expected more from Barcelona actually because the results they recorded in the most recent two game before this was huge and gave us the confidence that hey will will this.

Barcelona did a comeback that brought back hope to fans and the joy was beyond explanations as all hope was almost lost earlier, this was only possible in the days of Messi but it's a thing of joy they could bring back the good old days again. Although they didn't put up the best of performance during the first half of the game but the we can be sure they haven't gone too bad with their form.

I'm sure that when the score was 0-2, many bettors would cash out their bets.  
But I still believe that Barcelona will stay in this match because it is impossible for Xavi to let Celta win to embarrass Barca at home so that in the second half Lewandowski and Joao CANCELO managed to provide a surprise goal for these bettors who gave goals within a few minutes which is correct really perfect for us to watch.
Joao Felix seemed to have difficulty scoring in this match, even though previously he always had the opportunity to score, but this time he chose to provide an assist for Lewandowski for his first goal, giving a very good result.

I really admire the cooperation of the squad under Xavi guidance, which currently has a very stable performance and even though they only have loan players and free players, their performance can dominate in every match.

Once again Real Madrid conceded a goal in first 15 minutes. All 4 goals they conceded this season were in first 15 minutes. They have a concentration problem about starting games. They need to comeback again but it will be hard against Atletico Madrid. Great cross from Lino and great header from Morata. Real Madrid's perfect start may end tonight. If Atletico defense lock Bellingham, Real's scoring chances would be pretty low.

[Doell]

Real Betis can't to get a win against Cadiz, even though statistically Real Betis better rather than Cadiz, but they could only get one point at home. I thought it would be an easy match for Real Betis, but in fact Real Betis are still not yet to improve their performance and return consistently to collecting points. With that disappointing results,now Real Betis still can't to climb to a better position in the standings for a while

Currently Atletico Madrid leads by 2 scores against Real Madrid guys.

Antonio Griezmann has already doubled the lead for Atletico Madrid, which shows how poor the Real Madrid defense is this season. With the way Real Madrid is playing in this match, Atletico Madrid can score more goals because they are playing towards scoring goals, while Real Madrid is yet to get a short on target. I think Jude Bellingham needs to start doing his magic to save Real Madrid as he usually does in their previous matches because Madrid fans only depend on him.

A miracle is happening for Atletico Madrid and they scored two goals against Real Madrid in the next 30 minutes.
I think Real Madrid will have problems will the end of the first half with this results.
This game's result was not predictable at all because Atletic Madrid lost the last game against Valencia and I think thinking Ancelotti and his palyer can win this game easily.

Shocking to see 2 nil, I'm flattered by defensive strategy triggered by Los Colchoneros after netting these goals. Diego Simeone is more interested in three points and not ball possession, which is fully handled and controlled by Carlo Ancelotti men. I've hope for Los Blancos to bounced back to the game with either shared points or winning, remember the same situation happened to Barcelona were we witnessed poor results from them in the first half, they got serious injury time and made the difference. The exact same thing can happen in this game, because we never can predict the next minutes of the game. In the meantime, Atletico Madrid taking the lead with two heading goals against Real Madrid.

Unfortunately, Real Madrid's defensive lines have been struggling against Atletico Madrid's attackers a lot from the first minutes. This issue has persisted from previous seasons, and Coach Anceloti hasn't really taking good decisions or creating better plans for it, every time they win even with the bad defending they were ignoring this problem. Even though Real Madrid are having great talented players in all areas they only miss a well defined strategy to fill these gaps before losing the leadership of standings to Barcelona. They have already received two goals in just 18 minutes, which shows us a significant problem in their defense. Fortunately, Toni Kroos managed to score a goal for them, and I believe they can make a comeback and win the match. Let's continue to watch as both teams are now in attack mode.

The tune of the match has really changed before the end of the first half. We can now see that the pressure is now on Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have been able to close the goal gap by the outside eighteen shot goal that came in from Toni Kroos. They were able to score the second goal too but was cancelled by VAR for offside which their claim was just after checking. The second half is going to be a very fascinating and interesting game for both teams. I look forward to the second half game after the half time break.

The things have changed dramatically and I never have seen such a discomposed Real Madrid as they concede another goal in the first 40 seconds of the second half and again ex Madrid player,Morata scored another header,so 3 goals with 3 headers for Atletico Madrid shows a very weak defense of Real Madrid.

I think that Real have no possibility and no time on their end to dream for a win so even if they get a draw that would be a huge achievement for them,I doubt they have the possibility to achieve a draw too,I can't stop thinking about Ancelotti that said about Mbappe that we don't need another attacker here,this game is showing just that,they need a striker,no strikers in first half as Tony Croos scored from an individual magic.
