La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[StartupAnalyst]

The result of the game with Sevilla was expected. The first strong opponent and Barcelona lost. Lopotegi is a strong coach, I am sorry that he was given time to build a team in Real Madrid. The Spanish Cup is quite capable of winning Sevilla.

I can't say the same thing that I was expecting a result like this. Because Barcelona have been great in La Liga as we know. So I expected a better performance and result than this. Maybe they couldn't win but at least they could get an advantageous result by drawing with Sevilla. Their chance to be the champions in La Liga is away from good and they can win Copa Del Rey at least. Besides, this draw isn't finished yet and maybe Barcelona could eliminate Sevilla by playing much better in the 2nd leg match.

This is quite possible. Barcelona is always stronger at home. But Sevilla is unlikely to miss such a chance. And Barcelona is quite a serious opponent in the Champions League. So I think Sevilla has every chance to advance to the next round.

There is a pretty good chance that Sevilla will win. As for me, Barcelona as well as Real Madrid have some problems in the last couple of seasons with the players. And they both need to transform their squad into a stable and strong team now. It will take a couple of seasons.

After losing such a game, Barcelona will definitely want to win the Alaves game without a doubt, so I am going to wager on 1.5+ goals for Barcelona to win, easy decision there for me honestly because Barcelona can score many goals when they play correctly. ATM will be playing Granada and if they want to keep the leadership going until the end and become champions they need to win these type of games very easily, so I am going go with them.

Sevilla showed how good they are, and they are at fourth right now and Huesca is at the bottom of the table, so that game should be easy as well. I honestly have zero clue about what is going to happen with the Eibar versus Valladolid game because they are both very bad teams, if they were playing any other team I would wager on their opponents but looking at the current situation I won't be playing that game.

I think Barcelona will play a very easy game here. They have a perfect form in the league and I expect them to win this easily too.

[kawetsriyanto]

any team has a chance to take away points, but some teams can take away more points, and others can take away less points.

Yep, I can agree on this matter. Surely, bigger teams have bigger chances to take away the points from Atletico Madrid, especially if they against Real Madrid and Barcelona. These teams are already familiar with the style of play of Atletico Madrid players. I am optimistic when Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid and Barcelona, the Atletico players will be under pressure. It is because they are leading now and they need to secure every point to make bigger gaps between their points and other team points.

When Suarez decided to leave Barcelona, Atletico is the one who benefits the most, because they don't have to spend any money on signing him and they don't have to pay Suarez as big as his previous salary. Despite being 34 years old, Suarez is still one of the most prolific strikers in La Liga. With 16 goals Suarez leads the top scorer in La Liga.

In my opinion, Suarez is a gift from Barcelona to Atletico to win La Liga this season. 

Technically he was kicked from Barca because they thought he is old and useless. Well he proved to be the best gift received so far by ATM but also how incompetent Barca management is. Right now Barca risks seriously to lose everything this season.

I would put it a little differently - Barca considered Suarez old, too expensive and not too important when there is a decisive everything and everything Messi Let's be fair, there is some metal fatigue in Barcelona from the current model of the game and the famous 8-2 from Bayern is a definite signal that changes are needed in the team. Another question is that it seems that the club does not fully understand how to make these changes and Suarez unfortunately became a victim of these circumstances. But I'm glad he's doing so well at Atletico Madrid.

Of course big teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid are very likely to make Atletico Madrid drop points, because if Barcelona and Real Madrid cannot
beat Atletico Madrid it will indirectly hand over the title to Atletico Madrid. So I am optimistic that Barcelona and Real Madrid will do their best to
beat Atletico Madrid, in order to pursue the points that Atletico Madrid have.

Therefore, if Atletico Madrid face Barcelona or Real Madrid, they will definitely play defensively. Because the most important thing for Atletico Madrid
when dealing with big teams is not to lose and still be able to get points. So the draw result is what Atletico Madrid are looking for when dealing with
a big team.

Barcelona will make Alaves as refund after loss from Sevilla on first leg semi final copa del rey last middle week with score 2-0, Barcelona will full team how to defeat Alaves and get three point to be on second place position after last week take by Real Madrid, I think this more competitive again three club Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid become more candidate to be champion in this season.

@Xxmodded while Barcelona has shown some stability in the league, I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost against Alaves because they’re missing key player’s. Also I feel that Barcelona’s priority is to fix their finances first, and I personally feel that it’s their own fault, what are you’ll thoughts on this.

Suarez is still a great striker, has this magic touch and killer instinct. Simeone believes from the start that his signing will make the difference despite his age and that proves that he can get the best from any player under his instructions. Perhaps the best signing for LaLiga teams this season...

It's not easy for a player to get to Atletico Madrid, Simeone knows very well what he is doing and who he is buying. Suarez is a world-class striker and it can be considered a good coincidence that it is in the season when he joined the team that Atletico has a very good chance of becoming champions. They went to this for a very long time and I think they will succeed.

Barcelona have few reasons to force Suarez leave the club. They don't want Messi have much power in the club with too many team mates on his side. I think Barcelona knew how good Suarez is and what he can help them. It makes sense if you considered what Suarez said that he agrees to play as substitution, not as a key player in the main squad.

Barcelona want to abuse the last moment of Messi in Nou Camp and don't want he brought more troubles to them with another burofax or lawsuit.

He is one of the best strikers in the world and if you see Ibrahimovic who can play and score at his 40s, Suarez will have a few more seasons at top levels. Suarez does not get too many injuries regularly and it helps him prolong his career.

Suarez has good moving technique and he connects too good with his teammates, in Liverpool, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. The decrease in last seasons in Barcelona came from injuries and the bad results of the team, not only from Suarez.

I hope that really! Seeing the way they are treating Leo Messi it would be great if they would not win a single thing this year. Like a moral slap, do you know what I mean?
Suarez example say it all about how their management went nuts lately.
To be fair, Barça is being quite consistent lately and their last 5 consecutive wins are a clear message for the two Madrid teams.

Don't worry, regardless of the current good results, Barca has no chance of winning the Spanish championship and they are not among the first two favorites in the Champions League 
Honestly, it would have been better for the club's management if they had just let Messi go, made good money on him and refreshed the team with new players.
Now they have no money for new players, have dirty war for the new club president  and are in serious financial trouble, and they have a very dissatisfied and frustrated Messi in the team.
A recipe for the perfect disaster this season

They tried to keep Messi in the club one more season and thought it can help them to rebuild the team while they can still have acceptable results. I believed it is a bad decision. A season with a spot to Champions League and no titles in La Liga, Champions League can not be considered as good.

If they made a decision you said, they would have a budget for transfer and the team rebuilding progress might be faster. Without Messi, young players will feel more confident to show up their skills and more freely to make their decisions, pass or shoot in matches.

The club fell to another drama, contract detail leak and it is another bad drama after the burofax.

Barcelona have been sending a nice message with their performance in La Liga recently. But I also don't want them to win the title. I don't think they deserve it. Actually Real Madrid also don't deserve it more than Atletico. I hope Atletico will not make mistakes and be the champions. I really enjoy watching Suarez at Atletico. He has done the very right thing to leave Barcelona.

The defeat at Sevilla speaks to me more than the victory in La Liga in the last matches. A serious team causes problems for the current Barcelona squad. And if Messi cannot show a good game, Barcelona either lose or play to a draw.

Barcelona problem is far bigger than Lionel Messi; The team is devoid of chance creators and Defenders; and a misfiring attack line; i also think there is a coaching problem because Koeman has refused to coach Barcelona to their strengths; instead he is playing his best method not suited to the players.

This should not stop Barcelona from getting a victory today at home against Alaves

[kayiboyu]

Granada-Atletico Madrid match is going on right now. We see Atletico having more ball possession compared to Granada. But there is a balanced game when it comes to the attacks and shots. The goal machine Suarez is playing again.    I think he can score in this match too and Atletico can win this match.

You're right, I don't know what's wrong with Barcelona. They released the goal machine to their rivals in one competition and made them (Atletico) even crazier. Barca lost their best center-forward, Barca must regret. Since Suarez came he immediately played well with Atletico. He's almost scored in every game and now they (Atletico) are the favorites to win La Liga. Even though the competition for La Liga champions is not over yet, I think Barca are having a hard time catching Atletico's points. But I'm a little happy because the La Liga competition is getting  exciting and harder to guess the champion until now. Barca and Madrid's dominance is starting to disappear.

What is wrong with Barcelona ? Simply politics mate ...they wanted Suarez to leave so they did it. They don't want to spend money anymore so don't be surprised if the next season will be even worse for them as remember they still need to appoint a new CEO this year.

Don't pity Suarez, he's a professional player and he simply took his skills to a team that really appreciates him and so far ATL.Madrid is a beat since Surez came.
