La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Ryu_Ar1]

I don't know, I wouldn't expect much for Sevilla in this match. The draw they got against Rayo last week although it was a good capital but I think Sevilla still have problems that they can't fully solve.
They played quite well from possession and the rhythm played to control the match is also actually very good but their finishing is still quite bad which makes me not too sure that they can improve this.
Especially when the opponent now is Madrid looking at the statistics they lost but indeed they can still play just for 3 points I don't think it will be obtained by Sevilla.

Obviously Sevilla play differently in the big games, but if we look at their current situation, of course they look weak. Sevilla have bad results in the league but they are a team that did well in Europe last season and they have a lot of experience in this arena so they know how to play in big games. That's why I think Sevilla can maybe get 1 point here. Even though Sevilla have a good squad, it is clear that there are problems within the team that really need to be solved. This shows that the coach has to do something.

Given the current odds of 3.95 for Sevilla and 1.89 for Madrid, it's actually a good idea to place an early bet at these odds for Madrid.
In terms of H2H also in the last 4 matches Madrid always won from Sevilla so with odds of 1.89 and with H2H that could be a benchmark although indirectly this will clearly be profitable for Madrid.
I think when talking about the Europa League of course this will be different because in the end last season there was nothing they could fight for apart from competing with all their strength in the Europa League especially they were very bad in La Liga last season. This season is actually almost the same with their performance still not stable in La Liga so maybe the focus is still expecting to be in the top 3 of the Champions League and switch to the Europa League and focus there but of course this discussion will be different. For this match their chance is only possible 1 point that will be very difficult to happen.

I am pretty sure that Diego Alonso is the new coach of Sevilla. I am not sure if this was a good decision or not. But I am sure that they were not performing as well as they should.  The only saving price for the coach was that they were able to win the Europa League title the last season. But now we know that they are performing in the Champions League competition. And there is no way they are winning the Champions League.

At the same time the way they are playing right now, they also don't seem to be winning the La Liga title as well. If the decision was actually an improvement or not,  we will be able to know that later. And I absolutely agreed that improvements are not going to come instantly.

Sevilla have taken a new dimension that suggests a quick revamping solution to their current situation and the new coach has a lot of work to push the club to a may stable position even though they should not dream of lifting the champion League Cup but at least their need to finish the new season in a strong position that will push them further in the quest to go further in the future.
I hope Sevilla will not end up suffering from what has affected some of the good clubs before who made mistakes of selecting the wrong member into the team that leading to a decline and backwards performance for them at most times.

[hahay]

Honestly, there are no other teams in the league to actually compete head-to-head with Real Madrid. Even though Atletico Madrid has been showing good performances recently, I just do not trust them to be consistent enough. Barcelona needed to win every easy match that they had. But they were not able to win those matches. Actually, Barcelona is not performing well, to be honest. When you need to defend the league title, you really need to be consistent. And you need to be more consistent when you know that you do not have too much power in your squad.

I wonder why people think Barcelona's performance this season is bad, cause they're not 1st on the table, well they're the only team in the Laliga that's unbeaten and even Realmadrid and Girona that's currently above them have each lost 1 match so far, even in the UCL competition they're performing very brilliantly and top the group H table currently, so cause they're not toping the league doesn't mean they're not doing fine, atleast they're 3rd on the table with 21points with just 3 points difference between them and Madrid.

 The league is still very far before it comes to an end and where they're currently on the table I must say they're doing fine, they just have to be more careful not to drop more points and widen the gap between them and Realmadrid,  they still remain strong contenders of the league and would definitely overthrown Girona in their position on the standings.
 

Even though Barcelona is unbeaten so far, that also doesn't mean Barcelona has a guarantee of the La Liga title this season. Because after all, the evidence is that even though Barcelona has not been defeated so far, but why, why Barcelona not at the top in the standings. Because usually, when a team manages to go undefeated, then of course that team is at the top of the standings, but for Barcelona at this moment, Barcelona current position is even below Girona. Therefore, at least there is no definite guarantee for Barcelona to win the La Liga title this season, because the league is still long, of course Real Madrid also has a big chance of maintaining its top position throughout this season.

Mendilibar's time has ended at Sevilla recently and Diego Alonso has been appointed to the manager position. Sevilla have started to change their manager very often in the recent times. Sampaoli, Mendilibar and now Diego Alonso... I don't believe this is a good action to take for a team.

Because the system mostly changes and the players have to adapt to the new one every time. They have to get along with the new manager as well. Rather than that I think Sevilla should have given it some time. They won the Europa League title with Mendilibar in the end.

I think Sevilla should not rush in sacking Jose Luis Mendilibar. Because Mendilibar was actually an important figure who brought big changes to the Sevilla squad last season. Sevilla even avoided the relegation zone in Laliga and managed to win the Europa League title with Mendilibar.
Even though Sevilla haven't shown a good performance this season, I still think that giving more time to Jose Luis Mendilibar would be much better. Because currently Sevilla also has an important match in the Champions League. And of course changing the current coach is a bad decision.

Even if Diego Alonso could become a good coach for Sevilla, improvements will not occur instantly. Everything definitely requires adaptation and is quite a long process. And actually, Sevilla currently doesn't have enough time to adapt to a new coach. Because a busy match schedule and a change of coach will only make things worse.

Sevilla in the Champions League currently has not experienced a defeat nor has they won. Two matches only ended in draws. And I think that's still quite better than losing. But I'm also curious whether Diego Alonso will really make a drastic improvement in Sevilla's performance or if it will actually get worse. Let's see.

Just the idea of firing Jose Luis Mendilibar makes me sick! How quickly we forget successes and focus on misfortunes. I know this season hasnt replicated last season's success. Remember that Mendilibar saved Sevilla last season and won the Europa League. Its no easy accomplishment! With crucial Champions League matches ahead, changing guard seems like a formula for catastrophe. The mid-season adjustment, probable unrest, and chaos of a new coaching style? Not worth the risk! While good, Diego Alonso isnt a miracle worker. Progress takes time, right? We should give Mendilibar more time and less criticism.

[emrecemsan]

Sevilla are absolutely rushing things so much when it comes to choosing their coach. They are very impatient which results in their coaches to last for a really short time period. I don't think Mendilibar deserved to get sacked like this. He won the Europa League championship with this team last season. How can they give up on a coach like this so easily? Just because they couldn't start well to the season shouldn't be a reason for sacking a successful manager quickly. 

If things get worse in Diego Alonso's time then I wonder what they will plan to do. This is the first time he manages a team in Europe by the way.

So Diego Alonso is Sevilla's new coach this season?
I didn't realize that Sevilla had fired their coach and had found a replacement for him, but I didn't know the new coach well. I tried to find out more about Diego Alonso, so apparently he is the former coach of Uruguay and also Inter Miami.

This is Diego Alonso's first season in La Liga with last season's Europa League champions. Many people will doubt Sevilla's decision to choose him, but there is always the possibility of getting something different from a different coach. Diego Alonso is certainly expected to be able to raise the enthusiasm and confidence of the players, but I think he has a lot to adapt right now.

A team staying unbeaten doesn't mean they have won all their encounters with other teams, it's very possible a team can continually draw with every team they come across in the season and stay unbeaten and that will definitely not give them enough points to be at the top of the table, Barcelona's unbeaten status this season has some draw which gave them just a point so they can't top with such alone.

I agree that Barcelona is not guaranteed to win the league title this season and ofcourse at this point nobody is actually guaranteed to win either as we still have a long way to go with the season, it's True that cumulative performances from now will definitely have a way in determining how possible a team will possibly win the league title.

Real Madrid at this point stand a chance more than Barcelona does but then since football if filled with so much of uncertainties, it's very possible along the line Barcelona will pick up form again and perform so well they could get a chance at the top and probably be on the race again to win the title, so I think it's yet still too far to be sure who is most likely to win the title.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about when it comes to Barcelona because the team is a top one and associates with fierce energy. Barcelona in good shape despite poor standings below Girona, we know the specified teams that would actually reached significant positions on La Liga table this season and Girona might not be among, starting the league with spectacular energy, it doesn't guarantee they will end up in the top four. Girona lacks consistency to continue their brilliant performance, directly means they have slim probability to survive.

Girona may have started magnificently, but how they will play in the rest is a matter of curiosity. To be honest, my guess right now is that there will be a rivalry between Atletico, Real Madrid and Barça. I believe that the championship will belong to one of these three teams. It's almost guaranteed to be a difficult season.

I was amazed that in the first 10 games for Real Bellingham, being a midfielder, was able to break Ronaldo's record - he scored 10 goals and made 3 assists (for Ronaldo it was 10 goals plus one assist). It is obvious that this acquisition of Real was the right decision and perhaps a key one for many years to come. Next summer Real will receive either Mbappe or Haaland and I'm afraid to imagine what the trio Vinny - Bellingham - Mbappe/Haaland will be capable of 

Real Madrid have found the perfect midfielder for their squad. He is capable of assisting as well as scoring when the team needs it. Bellingham would be a worthy replacement for Luka Modric. And if he continues like this, he will become the best midfielder in the world. Bellingham has the potential to overtake Manchester City's De Bruyne. Bellingham's fitness is good and his performances are very consistent.

Haaland is unlikely to join Madrid from Manchester City. At least as long as Guardiola is the manager of City, I think we will see Haaland with City. Madrid management will try their best to bring Mbappe into the team. Because they understand very well that they need an experienced striker. Otherwise it is very difficult to maintain consistency.

It seems to me that the experience of Holland and Mbappe is on the same level, the fact that the level of the French national team and the Norwegian national team is incomparable has nothing to do with club football. Guardiola's opinion doesn't matter, the compensation for Haaland is only 173 million and when compared with Mbappe's signing bonus and his salary, it may even be cheaper. In addition, Haaland looks more professional than Mbappe, who at some point definitely “caught star fever.”

It's amazing how Girona have been performing this season. No one would have imagined that this team would be at the top of the La Liga table. Out of 9 matches they won 7 matches and lost only one match they are playing very well. But I doubt whether the team can maintain such consistency. I watched Girona's performance against Real Madrid. They don't play well and it's very difficult for teams like Girona to maintain consistency. Only Madrid and Barcelona have been able to play consistently well in La Liga. However, Girona have a good chance of finishing in the top four of the table.

 They really suprised everyone this season by getting this far, I didn't expect them to be in the top 3 in Laliga currently, they're even above Barcelona in the table, so far the only team that's beaten them this season is Realmadrid and it was expected, if not they would had been in the 1st if they had  won that game, winning 7 games out of 9 with 1 lose and a draw is a very good stats.

 However I doubt as well if they'll be able to be consistent, cause sooner or later several teams would begin to face injury crisis due to fatigue and other things that affect players and I don't think they've got a quality squad depth with good substitutions that would be able to cover their star players when they get injured and that's one of the reasons that could make them drop form.

Well, yes, because in the end it's all a point calculation. Even though he has never been beaten so far, if he has 3 draws, he still doesn't get full points and ends up still in third place. However, in fact, even now, we are still too early to predict exactly who will hold the La Liga title for this season. However, the biggest candidates are still Real Madrid and Barcelona. Even though Girona is currently in second place, we don't know how far they will stay in that position. Meanwhile, in the future, competition will be even fiercer.

Girona have been in fine form so far but they will only be one of the candidates for 4th place and a dark horse club this season with their excellent form in the 9 games they have played so far.
They are a surprise but consistency is a very big problem and will definitely be difficult for Girona to overcome even though they are still playing very well but I am not sure this will last until the end.
As for the title race, Atletico this season can still compete unlike the previous season, but on the other hand, the priority will not be different from before where Madrid and Barcelona are the strongest candidates.

If things get worse in Diego Alonso's time then I wonder what they will plan to do. This is the first time he manages a team in Europe by the way.

Apparently, I'm behind on news regarding Sevilla and their coach. IMO, if I have to be honest, Mendilibar was lucky enough to lead Sevilla to the Europa League trophy last season. Even though when he was still coaching Sevilla, his performance and Sevilla's game were not ideal for me personally. I don't mean to say that Mendilibar is a coach without potential, but the football he promotes is more of a pragmatic game. That's why, in his second season with Sevilla there weren't many changes that occurred, in fact it wasn't much different from the previous season which had been in decline before Mendilibar took charge of Sevilla. Luckily, when Mendilibar took charge of Sevilla, the wind was on his side and he was even able to win the Europa League trophy. However, because his performance this season has been poor, it would be very natural for a club to fire its coach if his performance does not meet the club management's expectations. and now, Diego Alonso has replaced Mendilibar who was fired by club management.

To be honest, I'm not too familiar with Diego Alonso. However, if I look at the profile I refer to from TransfersMark, this coach is from Uruguay. In his career, he has won three trophies with Monterrey and Pachuca, clubs from Latin America. and in 2022, he will become head coach of the Uruguayan national team. If I refer to his flagship formation, I really doubt he will be able to bring Sevilla better, he tends to use a 4-4-2 pattern. However, we'll see and give him a chance to prove how far he can take Sevilla.

Are you sure we don't need to worry about Barcelona? Have you counted how many Barcelona players got injured? There are 6 Barcelona players who got injured, it means they are not in a good condition now. Sadly, those 6 players are mostly the key players for Barcelona squad. If they often get injured, it may ruin their performance. Those players will be difficult to maintain their good performance due to injured problem.

Anyway, I think you too underestimate Girona. They played quite consistent so far, they started this season perfectly. Although they got 1 defeat, it doesn't mean they probably easier got more losses. In reality, they still can maintain good performance.

La Liga becoming tougher to anticipate and have basically full game competitions from both elite and mediocre teams. It's only matter of time to decide the most outstanding club currently to lift La Liga trophy this season. Underrated Girona because it's an average team and praising Barcelona to win La Liga league title this season would be quite challenging for them. The blaugrana are face with challenges this season, from problems from the finance sector to the players who have sustained long-term injury, some might come back in extreme incredible shape while some can not be able to meet up the top expectations from fans.

He was a top quality player from his day's in France and he is growing into a warrior for Real Madrid. A player who can play any position the coach asks him to play.
He along other Madrid stars are important for the future now they will need understanding as they have learnt from Luka Modric and Krooss.
Valverde was also given contract extension he is a good part of Madrid's bone marrows. They are willing to kill for the badge.  They deserve it.

Realmadrid is a club that loves to invest in their future and they always select good youngsters to replace departing older talents and its been favorable to them over the years and that's why they've been so successful, for instance they replaced Casemiro with Camavinga, Marcelo with Mendy and even bale and Cr7 with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo and I believe they'll soon get a better youngsters that would replace Benzema, which they're currently working on.

 However Camavinga is a very good player, he's top notch at his position and is also versatile and has been used at the left back area when Mandy was injured and he played the role very well one thing i like about him is that he's strong and would last Real Madrid for a long term, Madrid players are very unique and they always work had as a team to be sure it succeeds especially in the Champions League that they've won more than every other teams in Europe.

Seeing a player becoming a supper star in a club have multiple positive impact on the club,  the first impact is that while the player is creating all those records,  he does so by bringing result to the club in the various games and by so doing he automatically increases his chances in taking up awards within and outside the club,  and the second advantage is that the club stake amount on the player also increases since if real Madrid want to sell any of those young star players to other clubs,  the club will have to pay much higher amount above what Real Madrid bought it in.

Barcelona are in good shape,they aren't doing badly at the moment,but they just need to be consistent in their game play,they are aware of the fact that Madrid won't let them win the Tittle again this season,and therefore,they need to belt up and try to do well,else,smaller teams will take advantage of their state.
And for the injury crisis befalling them,yes,injury is part of the game,but the ability of the coach to improvise when injury hits his players and still grind out a better result is what makes that coach a better coach.Barcelona will still do well this season and definitely qualify for the Champions League again,but winning the league will be impossible.

Jude Bellingham will start breaking some of Christian Ronaldo's records at Real Madrid very soon. Bellingham has already broken many other records at Real Madrid by scoring 8 goals in 8 games in the La Liga, and he also scored 2 goals in both of Real Madrid's Champions League matches, bringing his season total to 10 goals. What a good performance from a midfielder. Bellingham surprises me the most because he is not a striker but has scored more goals than any striker this season in every league. Real Madrid used to struggle to win the La Liga title sometimes because of Barcelona, but I believe this season will be different because they are currently leading the league table with some points and I believe they won't want to lose any games.

Is it not too early to start comparing Jude Bellingham with Cristiano Ronaldo. It won't make the player better and it won't also give him the time to build his career gradually. There's need to be a consistently progressional player for at least a decade and more to be able to catch up with the achievements the star players have made. Like being the highest goal scorer of the leagues and so many things. It is good to hail the efforts of Bellingham, like I also do severally, but he should be encouraged more on the basis of his performance and not ascribing it to the achievements made by Cristiano Ronaldo.
