La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[BITCOIN4X]

By the way, Barcelona won 5-2 that game but it was in Camp Nou. Who knows, maybe this time we could watch a totally different game. 

Yes, the matche are very different but you will be happy to see the results are the same. Both away and at home, Barcelona actually managed to put themselves better than Real Betis with two wins 5-2 & 2-3.
See how Barcelona finished the game winning only after Messi was played. He is the best motivator for his teammates. And for sure Barcelona is still setting an impressive record with victories so far. Messi was the creator of Barcelona's win in that match, and Trincau was decisive and both players came from the bench. Amazing isn't it.

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

The whole thing changed after Messi showed up in the game. He scored a goal right after he started playing. Barcelona started being better in the rest of the game too and managed to win this hard game. Barcelona continually prove something that they are having too much difficulty when Messi is not in the game. I wonder what kind of a season they will have in the next season when Messi leaves which seems too possible.

Barcelona still need Messi as player because when faced with Real Betis without Messi at the first half Barcelona can't make any goal to Real Betis, I think Barcelona have give new contract for Messi and give more service how to make Messi keep extended as Barcelona player for few season later, without Messi many Barcelona fan's become most disappointed and they looks not happy like how Real Madrid loss Cristiano Ronaldo.

Big game for Atletico tonight in La Liga. They are 7 points ahead of the great Barcelona but have played 2 games less. If they beat Celta Vigo they will move 10 points clear & still have 1 game in hand. If they win tonight it’s going to take a small miracle for Barca or Real to catch them.

It seems like this season will be in the hands of Atletico Madrid if they don't make mistakes in the night match and one other match with Levante, but seeing the current conditions, Atletico's triumph is over Luiz Suarez, who is now the top scorer, meaning there is still sharpness on the front lines of buying. Suarez from Barcelona never fails.
If Atletico Madrid continue to win then the difference in points will differ greatly between 13 points and the remaining matches in its hands.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Atletico Madrid are going to play a home game against Celta Vigo tonight. Atletico are the leader with 50 points and C. Vigo are the 11th with 25 points. Atletico didn't lose (5W) and C. Vigo didn't win (2D 3L) in the last 5 games in the league. Atletico have been winning for 8 matches in the league. C. Vigo have won only one away game (1W 6D 4L) in the league so far. In the last 5 head-to-head games, Atletico won twice, C. Vigo won once and the rest of them ended in a draw.

Missing player(s) at Atletico: Mario Hermoso (1 goal), Kieran Trippier, Hector Herrera, Thomas Lemar (1 goal), Joao Felix (6 goals), Yannick Carrasco (2 goals), Moussa Dembele
Missing player(s) at C. Vigo: Sergio Alvarez, David Junca

I think this is another easy game for Atletico. They have some important missing players for this game. But still they have a very strong squad and I believe they will manage to beat C. Vigo here too.

With the current state of finances in Barcelona, ​​I don't think Messi will be offered a better contract. They can increase the amount of bonuses and pay them at the end of his contract. Or Messi will have to make concessions financially, although his father will most likely be against. Messi will most likely stay. in the club for a couple more seasons.

Real Betis is definitely the team that pushes Barcelona the most in la liga. Although Barcelona had a hard time, he won the match 2-3 and got 3 points with the goal he found in the 90th minute. Even if it won, Barcelona is no longer a strong team as before. It can lose points unexpectedly.

[skarais]

Luis Suarez has completely crushed my hopes of seeing Barcelona getting closer to Atletico's point today. So far he has scored 2 goals that put Atletico Madrid ahead of Celta Vigo. Suarez has been an important player for Atletico Madrid this season, he really proved to Barcelona that he is still quite good as a goalscorer. As a Barcelona fan, I am very disappointed with the management's decision to release Suarez for free to Atletico. It was a decision completely wrong by the club officials.

It was one of the amazing games for sure.   Betis put up a really good fight against Barcelona. If Messi didn't play in the game, I don't think that they would turn the game around and win. He is still the key player of course and he made his impact right after he came on. And of course, Trincao saved the team with a superb goal. I appreciate the performances of both sides.

Seems you was too fast with your post . Celta managed to equalise score on 89 minute. I'm Barcelona fan, but I'm a bit disappointed about this result because I had quite big stake on Atletico today.
On the other hand, we are getting closer to Atletico. Though, they are still very far ahead, potentially up by 11 points with 1 game in advance.
And yeah, giving Suarez to Atletico for free was big mistake.

Even though Luis Suarez scored 2 goals, Atletico Madrid failed to get 3 points against Celta Vigo. After the game ends draw, because Atletico lost
concentration in the last minute. But I agree with you, that a bad decision was made by Barcelona by releasing Luis Suarez this season to Atletico Madrid.
Because it is proven that Luis Suarez is one of the key players who has made Atletico Madrid first on the table until now.

Just the management of Barcelona arranged a shake-up of the team without fully considering the consequences, however, in connection with the future election of the president of the club, the renewal process is still very far from complete. The only sacred cow for the club's management remained Messi, but in light of recent events, it seems that the club is ready to let go of its long-term leader.

That's some really important two points lost by Atletico Madrid, that at least would give Barcelona some sort of hope over the title race. The match was quite even and either team really could have won it, but Celta Vigo got a duly deserved point.

Hey, don't forget Real Madrid also has the same point as Barcelona!!!
So, this draw got by Atletico Madrid, also give hope for Real Madrid to compete for the title as well as Barcelona. If in the next match Atletico Madrid is defeated, it will be more interesting. The point gap will be shorter, while there still many remaining matches.

It was true that the draw that Atletico Madrid got gave Barcelona and Real Madrid hope, but it is not easy to expect Atletico Madrid to drop points
again in the next game. Moreover, Simeone will learn from the mistakes made by Atletico players when facing Celta Vigo. Simeone will motivate his
players to be more concentrated in the final minutes, so in my opinion, in the next match Atletico Madrid can beat Granada. Actually I am optimistic
80% this season Atletico Madrid should be able to win La Liga.

Meh that was bad and unfortunate to see ATM dropping 2 points vs Celta Vigo... They are still + 8 points in advance comparing to Barca with 1 more missing game.. Hopefully they could beat Granada next especially seeing its bad record lately!!

Honestly, I don't see Atletico Madrid dropping consecutive points and they're away to Granada next, It should be an easy win for them, but we've seen stranger things happen in football, especially this season.

Yes, but it's probably just a matter of time before their next blunder, as the fixtures will start piling up very soon.

Barcelona is confident with the excellent striking form of Griezman. Good for Griezman as he found a better connection with Messi on the field and they all scored and assisted recently. They will play as core for the fight of Barcelona against A Madrid.

Suarez scored 2 goals and has 16 goals in La Liga. The first season in A Madrid is like a dream for Suarez and he reminds me about David Villa who won a La Liga after a transfer from Barcelona. Will Suarez can repeat it with A Madrid?

A Madrid has reasons to feel disappointed as they lost 2 points in very late minutes.

Celta Vigo deserved to earn that 1-point. They gave Atlético Madrid a run for their money. Aside from those 2 goals from Suarez and that low drive shot from Gimenez, I don't think Madrid had other good attempts. Madrid started slowly and Celta was stretching the legs of Madrid's defenders constantly. Particularly, Felipe who was looking like he was played in an undesirable position. Overall, it was a good game. Madrid didn't perform as much as I would've liked them although I'm kinda glad they got a point.

I don't want the Liga title to be a one way ticket for Atlético. I'd like to see Barcelona close in on them and then we see a heated race for the title.
