La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Oneandpure]

Barcelona declining performance is not due to a lack of talented players in their squad, the storm of injuries that is currently hitting Barcelona means that Xavi has to rack his brains in formulating a strategy. In the remainder of October there are 3 matches that Xavi troops have to play, the match vs Bilbao is waiting, then against Shakhtar in the UCL and finally the very important match, namely El Clasico.

De Jong and Kounde will certainly not be able to play in these three matches, while other injured mainstay players such as Lewandowski, Raphinha and Pedri have the opportunity to play in El Clasico. Xavi really hopes that his flagship player can return to strengthening the team soon. The match against Bilbao is very crucial for Barcelona, after getting less than optimal results in the last match, now Barcelona must target victory in order to keep their distance from Real Madrid who are in first place and Girona who are one rank above them.

Barcelona have many important matches in this month but have absent with five regular players such as Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri adn Frenkie De Jong. Its not good situation for Xavi Hernandez exactly in this month have to face Real Madrid in El Clasico match without have their important player. Last update, Gavi rumor get injury with Spain national teams and not confirming yet about how serious injury with him will absent for several matches later or not. Next match against Athletic Bilbao, Xavi Hernandez have try with new formula or scheme to anticipation with some important player absent, he try with attacking line and see how effective with Ferran Torres replacing Robert Lewandowski position.

The Barcelona team has been at the top of the La Liga so far with excellent performances. Real Madrid team did not perform very well in La Liga compared to Barcelona team. However, considering the performance of the Champions League, it is not right to consider the Barcelona team now, after watching the next few matches, you will understand how the position of the Barcelona team is in the Champions League.

I think you are wrong, currently Real Madrid is at the top of the La Liga standings, and Barcelona is in 3rd position, 3 points behind Real Madrid who are at the top of the standings.
And it is precisely Barcelona's current performance that is inconsistent in La Liga, they have only won 1 match in their last 3 matches and got 2 draws even though their opponents are not top teams.
And that is inversely proportional to Real Madrid's performance which is getting better at the moment.

However, if we look at Barcelona's overall performance in La Liga and also the UCL, they are not too bad but not too good either, in La Liga they are just less consistent and in the UCL I am a little pessimistic when I see the strength of the Barcelona team to be able to compete fiercely with other teams. other top European teams, indeed it is still too early for us to judge this.

In addition, currently the number of injuries affecting the Barcelona team makes it very difficult for Xavi to rotate players in order to stabilize the team's performance.
In the next few weeks, Barcelona has a pretty tough match schedule, including El Clasico and this will be my problem.

Yes that's right, one of the youngest players has a good performance in every match, of course this has a good impact on Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti finally revealed the secret of the sharpness of a Jude Bellingham. He explained that Bellingham did not have a definite position in the Real Madrid squad formation. Bellingham only joined Madrid in the summer of 2023 at a high price when he bought it from Borussia Dortmund. The English midfielder immediately performed beyond expectations because Bellingham appeared ferocious in front of the opponent's goal so far he has packed 10 goals in 10 matches, Bellingham's presence made Karim Benzema's departure not felt. Bellingham can threaten the opponent's defense from any position he wants to say Ancelotti gave him a freerole even Ancelotti said Real Madrid was very lucky to be able to bring Bellingham.

And there is also Vinicius who always performs optimally in every match but Vini's contract with Real Madrid will expire in 2024. as a result, many top European clubs have begun to take steps to hijack it but Vinicius has reportedly locked his new contract with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid is having a stellar season and is currently topping the La Liga table. They are unaffected by Karim Benzema's absence since they are struggling with meeting the high demands of games. Real Madrid were fortunate to recruit one of the most talented players this summer, who will serve numerous roles for Los Blancos this season. Jude Bellingham is regarded as one of the best signings this summer, with goal contributions and scored 10 goals in ten games, and he's only an attacking midfielder who can occasionally break into the top nine and deliver Real Madrid at moments of significance. Carlo Ancelotti knows what he wants and works hard to achieve his club's objectives.

Of course, Jude Bellingham has had a big good impact on Real Madrid this season so that Real Madrid has a striker who can maximize his duties, unlike Man United who is experiencing a slump this season. Ancelotti is likely to keep Bellingham at Real Madrid because the youngest player is getting a lot of praise and is also being discussed about this young player who always displays his maximum game and brings Real Madrid to first place this season.

And with the recent news that Arda Guler is another youngster set to play in the El Clasico who recovered from an injury last week, he is now ready to step up his game in the Los Blancos midfield, especially with the emergence of Jude Bellingham, who has made a huge impact on Real Madrid. The England international has been in scintillating form with ten goals and three assists in ten games in all competitions. However, Guler's versatility means that Ancelotti can also play him as a forward, providing an alternative to Rodrygo, who has had a slow start to the season by his standards. I think Real Madrid will be stronger with these players but Ancelotti must also think about his defense and not focus too much on the front line.

It is because of Jude Bellingham's incredible performances since the start of the season that has made Real Madrid not to be affected by the departure of their former captain Karim Benzema who left in the summer to join a Saudi Arabian club.
His number of goals as a midfielder this season has been unbelievable and the England international isn't showing any sign of declining from his current form anytime soon. Arder Guler has been reported to be back from the injury that's kept him sidelined since the start of the season and is now ready to play football and that I think is an added advantage to Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti who's very efficient in rotating his squad.

Of course, these young players are becoming big stars and are the topic of conversation everywhere in addition to the return of Arda Guler of course this will make Real Madrid even stronger on the front lines, because I think everyone knows that the enthusiasm that exists in young people is certainly burning especially with their hobbies. These two youngsters are also likely to become big stars this season with their young age and their maximum play.

Even Modric gives support to Arda Guler, he believes this young player will become a star for Real Madrid with his young age at this time of course this is a great opportunity for him to show his talent. According to Modric, Guler can actually immediately show his charm in front of Madridista but unfortunately because of the injury that smothered him last week, Real Madrid fans have not been able to see the midfielder perform but now Arga has recovered and is ready to play.

[khiholangkang]

That's certainly beyond Xavi's predictions and I think there's no one to blame for what happened to Lewandowski at Barcelona with so many injuries, it's just that Lewandowski has to be more aware that he now has many shortcomings and don't always take risks, especially in contested duels. ball.
For Joao Felix, as far as I can see, he is not that great in La Liga, during the 6 opportunities he competed in, he only got 1 goal and one assist from those 6 opportunities.

But in the UCL for two matches he was quite good getting two goals and 1 assist, I think that's not bad, but it's not a good option for now, unfortunately Xavi has to train him so that his abilities mature and make him a sharp spearhead in the front of the squad Barcelona.

Felix was just an overrated striker and i don't even know which factors that made him being priced that high. Barcelona was lucky enough to take him as a loan from atletico madrid due to the felix's interest to join in the barcelona.
It sounds good caused by this can be considered as a time trial for him in barcelona. The club doesn't really need to buy him which is priced at 100 millions.

Xavi doesn't even need to push him if his performance was not so good. There was a better player that deserves to get better chance compared with him. Barcelona is now focusing into the midfielders and defenders.
I believe xavi will not try to take felix as a permanent transfer. Felix has received very small salary from playing in barcelona.
This guy is being very obsessed to join in the barcelona.

I also think so about Felix, he's a player who is too moreover, I don't know what motivation makes him say that about Felix, expecting that he will contribute more about him to the Barcelona team that is wrong. 100 million can be feasible, but maybe Xavi wants to see its development before doing that.

Maybe because of his obsession he could have a more fighting spirit to develop his abilities better, so that was what Xavi could rely on to print it, maybe.
Focusing on midfield and defender he should have been watching from the beginning, because their defense was slightly weakened and the style of playing Barcelona played in the middle with a beautiful operand a little disappear.

Barcelona have many important matches in this month but have absent with five regular players such as Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri adn Frenkie De Jong. Its not good situation for Xavi Hernandez exactly in this month have to face Real Madrid in El Clasico match without have their important player. Last update, Gavi rumor get injury with Spain national teams and not confirming yet about how serious injury with him will absent for several matches later or not. Next match against Athletic Bilbao, Xavi Hernandez have try with new formula or scheme to anticipation with some important player absent, he try with attacking line and see how effective with Ferran Torres replacing Robert Lewandowski position.

To be more precise, Barcelona will have three matches in six days this month, the opponents they will face are quite tough, namely Athletic Bilbao, Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid. In my opinion, Bilbao and Shakhtar can be handled well even without a complete squad. Xavi needs a complete team when he meets Madrid in the first "El Clasico" of the season. The good news is that Xavi will find his squad in complete form, it seems, only Frenkie De Jong doesn't know yet when he will recover from injury and be available again.

From another point of view, El Clasico will always be an event to test the strength of the title challenger every season, after Madrid lost surprisingly to ATM, I think Barcelona can do the same because they will act as hosts. Or at least hold Madrid to a draw, with The situation is that many players are doubtful about appearing due to injuries.

[Jody.Drummer]

When I saw Girona, I was reminded of Sevilla in the previous 2 seasons who could also compete with Real Madrid. But the question that will always be asked when there is a club like them in the top flight is, will they be able to be consistent until the end of the season or not? Sevilla went through the same thing and still ended up losing second place at the end of the season, as Barcelona improved under Xavi H. We will always assume this until the end of the season and see if they are consistent or not.
I personally hope they can be consistent, so that I can see there are clubs that can provide tough competition not only the 3 clubs that I usually see.

It would be very good and interesting if there was other team than Barcelona, Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, which could consistently get a lots of points. Yeah, I personally also hope that Girona can continue to be consistent and in the end can get a UCL ticket, at least that's a big target for them. Previously last season we saw Real Sociedad succeeded in securing UCL tickets, it is not impossible that Girona can do it although I'm also not too sure, but is still a possibility for them if their mainstay players not injuries or anything else.

Yes they have the opportunity to be able to secure tickets to go to the Champions League in the following season, but to talk about it, it will still be a very long journey for them, because this is just the beginning and touching half the season yet. One note for them is that they must be able to keep their players in order to maintain their performance and be consistent until the end. Now I see that their squad is uneven, and with that they are prone to losing stability if at any time they have to lose their main players for one reason or another, such as injuries. The coach must be able to rotate players and it must be done now so that they are not confused later.

Barcelona has never really been a team known for strong defense. Where they get it right and can win matches come from the midfield play. Players who can adapt to the midfield touches and passes and isn't afraid in front of goal is a Barca material.
Rumours were speculating the return of Lewandowsky before their El Classico encounter against R. Madrid.
I don't think Lewandowsky will be available let alone be on the bench because the team right now need to find themselves and know they can also perform and produce goals in his(Lewandowsky 's) absence.

There may be more people to be absent caused by injury. Barcelona's position is not yet safe caused by the blaugrana will face very important match against real madrid. The absents from those guys will make me pick real madrid instead of barcelona.
Barcelona has lost its important player and no reason to pick barcelona. I would rather than pick another real madrid caused by it will come with full squads. Some players who were injured have been coming back again.
Xavi is also facing another problem caused by barcelona needs to pay its debt too. The problem faced by barcelona is not yet ended. That's why xavi needs to think even harder to use the available player.
I see none able to replace lwandowski in the club. he is one of phenomenal striker that exist this decade. Im doubting torres to take his position.
Barcelona needs to be careful with it.

However, considering the performance of the Champions League, it is not right to consider the Barcelona team now, after watching the next few matches, you will understand how the position of the Barcelona team is in the Champions League.

Maybe there is a problem with your eyes at the moment so you can't see clearly which team is at the top of the La Liga standings at the moment. Or if you look at the La Liga standings while closing your eyes so you say something that is not quite right here, so if you know how to look at a competition standings like La Liga. Try to open your eyes as wide as possible and if necessary wash your eyes with clear water so you can see them clearly, because Barcelona itself has even been overtaken by Girona in the La Liga standings this season even though the number of points is not too far away. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is still quite safe at the top of the La Liga standings at the moment.

I have seen a couple of times that people post real nonsense here. Things that are simply wrong. I wonder if they copy old posts and then paste them here in the thread again, because how does it make sense that someone writes stuff that is just not true? I have been too lazy so far to do some searches and see whether there is plagiarism, but it is also annoying when you see that people can't even check the table quickly and make sure that what they post is true. But again, there is a good chance that this is copy paste from old posts.

I think he's probably talking about the performances of the two Spanish club during the 2022/23 season because as far as I know, every football faithful knows that Real Madrid is at the top of the Spanish La Liga standings as well as their group in the UEFA Champions League competition after wining their first two European matches of the season.
Currently, Barcelona isn't even the second placed team in the Spanish La Liga standings as they're one point behind second placed Girona. Real Madrid has been impressive with their performance since the start of the season and are likely to end the season with the la liga title of the continue with their current form

No my first time to see he was making a non sense post. he is obviously not watching the league. My guess if he only knows about how to write a post based on his imagination without even willing to know the fact by checking the table.
Im not surprising to see this kind of post. Probably to increase his post count and he was writing it without any efforts.

Maybe you should check his post history before criticizing him:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=204074;sa=showPosts;start=20

he posts very frequently in this thread, and it seems to me that he has been following la liga, probably in this post where you are criticizing him, he may have made a mistake in writing, criticizing him it seems to me to be a huge exaggeration, I myself made a post here a few weeks ago I got confused, it was to talk about Villareal's coach, but I confused Villareal's coach with Sevilla's coach, that's because when I I was writing, I was also watching videos of Sevilla games, by that I mean that all people make mistakes, and we don't need to be too hard on them

[Oluwa-btc]

Girona has not met a strong team other than Madrid. So in 9 matches they tried to get points consistently in every match they were able to get. I think that's also a good result, but there's no need to exaggerate Girona's performance to compete for the La Liga trophy.
The season is still long and Girona's struggle will still be very long. I hope they can still be consistent in getting points, even though the competition will be tight, but by them showing the best they have in the team, then that is enough to prove the development of the quality of their game.

Care for my Opinion?
That would be to give credits to Girona. They might be fighting for the fight to get into top four clubs or six clubs to make it to the Champions League or Europa League Competition.
Getting all three points against fellow smaller clubs and managing to share points with big clubs is suchba good thing to watch Girona doing.
When they meet clubs like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and the rest they haven't faced, they should fight to get a draw and that's a perfect way that'll get them into the top four. Avoiding loses to smaller clubs and gaining a point is a good idea.

Have you seen the home record of Girona? No you haven't! They have won all four and lose just one and that was to Real Madrid.
They should still be at home facing Almeria who is also struggling. They've got this, on the 22nd of October they should get three points and go top of the La Liga Table if Real Madrid shares points with Sevilla.

Last season Girona where considered a small team, they weren't really a team you would place in the top when in comes to the Spanish La liga ranking so I don't think considering their Caliber you should talk about strong team or weak team.

Any team Girona faces in the Spanish La liga is always going to be a hard game for them but so far they have been able to hold their own and I think they deserve the praises and recognition they are getting although I think as the matches goes on their top player start getting weak and injuries I don't think they would be as hot as they are now that where the quality of depth a team has comes in and Girona doesn't have that.

A very reasonable scenario and I agree overall with your statement, that is the best way to stay in the top four of the standings amidst the dominance of Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. I'm trying to look at Girona match schedule in the next five weeks, Girona will face Almeria, Celta Vigo, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano and Bilbao. In my view, Girona can still stay in the top four of the standings if their opponents are like that.

But we haven't seen Girona consistency throughout the season, and certainly didn't pay much attention to them before. What is clear is that Girona deserves to be the dark horse in La Liga this season, although personally I still have a little doubt that they can finish in the UCL zone.

[Marvell1]

Barcelona declining performance is not due to a lack of talented players in their squad, the storm of injuries that is currently hitting Barcelona means that Xavi has to rack his brains in formulating a strategy. In the remainder of October there are 3 matches that Xavi troops have to play, the match vs Bilbao is waiting, then against Shakhtar in the UCL and finally the very important match, namely El Clasico.

De Jong and Kounde will certainly not be able to play in these three matches, while other injured mainstay players such as Lewandowski, Raphinha and Pedri have the opportunity to play in El Clasico. Xavi really hopes that his flagship player can return to strengthening the team soon. The match against Bilbao is very crucial for Barcelona, after getting less than optimal results in the last match, now Barcelona must target victory in order to keep their distance from Real Madrid who are in first place and Girona who are one rank above them.

Barcelona have many important matches in this month but have absent with five regular players such as Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri adn Frenkie De Jong. Its not good situation for Xavi Hernandez exactly in this month have to face Real Madrid in El Clasico match without have their important player. Last update, Gavi rumor get injury with Spain national teams and not confirming yet about how serious injury with him will absent for several matches later or not. Next match against Athletic Bilbao, Xavi Hernandez have try with new formula or scheme to anticipation with some important player absent, he try with attacking line and see how effective with Ferran Torres replacing Robert Lewandowski position.

The unavailable players are not the players that Barcelona do not play regularly. Those are the players who actually are very important for Barcelona. And to be honest, Barcelona actually depend on them a lot in almost every match. So not having them available is going to increase problems for Barcelona. This is also going to make the job of the opponent of Barcelona easier. Barcelona already needs to improve their performance because this performance is not good enough for a club that is defending the league title. And now, with all those players being unavailable, the job is only going to get harder.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Girona deserves praise for their performance this season, the nickname as a dark horse team deserves to be given to them after showing their best performance since the start of the season. Girona strength this season has provided new competition in the top four of the standings. Girona presence in a group that usually includes Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid has eliminated one other club on the list of teams that have entered the Champions League zone.

My prediction for Girona achievements this season is only limited to providing competition in the top four positions, they are not yet able to compete with Real Madrid or Barcelona for the La Liga trophy. Atletico Madrid which has always been between Real Madrid and Barcelona, has found it very difficult to break down the dominance of these two teams, especially Girona, who have just given a surprise this season.

Looking at the difference in his performance last season and now Lewandowski has not been able to play well and indeed in the first few matches it was evident when Barcelona did not really reflect them in terms of goal productivity in the first few matches, although at this time it seemed to be resolved by the entry of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo for Barcelona.
2.26 for Madrid's odds I think this is definitely very good even though the opponent is Barcelona with a trend that is now getting better but I'm pretty sure the Bernabeu this season is different from before.
Indeed in terms of h2h last season Barcelona excelled in their 4 meetings against Madrid but for now I am quite confident in Madrid.

These are the quotes for the game Barcelona - Real Madrid  
2.26 is for the victory of Barcelona, and 3.00 for the victory of Real Madrid. Personally, this looks strange to me.
As for Lewandowski, the point is not how many goals he scores, but how many scoring chances he needs for this; by this indicator, he seems to have been the worst in the league even last season. By the way, Joao Felix also likes to waste scoring chances, but he still has room for progress, unlike Lewandowski.

Huh I'm sorry I didn't look at the schedule and Barcelona are playing at home in this first El Clasico. but isn't this better? The odds are bigger with the belief conditions not changing for Madrid
But indeed Barcelona are favourites it is also quite reasonable because playing at Camp Nou with their current condition that looks still fine even though there are some problems that occur there still they are Barcelona who are indeed strong and this is an El Clasico with high prestige.

As for Lewandowski, he still lacks momentum and this clearly affects especially now when he can play later for Barcelona there will definitely be a readjustment after several weeks of not playing due to injury, obviously this will disturb him.
Joao is still in the adaptation stage but indeed the performance he showed was still very good and I think this exceeded the expectations of some people so that this could be a problem if it was too much to let.

The Barcelona team has been at the top of the La Liga so far with excellent performances. Real Madrid team did not perform very well in La Liga compared to Barcelona team. However, considering the performance of the Champions League, it is not right to consider the Barcelona team now, after watching the next few matches, you will understand how the position of the Barcelona team is in the Champions League.

I disagree with you, real madrid are in better form than Barcelona, even when some of their players are injured, such as Vini jr and Cavaja Madrid are still performing well and winning matches, and when Robert Lewandowski is injured, Barcelona are drawing some matches. I don't think if Lewandowski did not play the el classico against Real Madrid, they would defeat them because Real are in good form this season and I am confident that they will win the La Liga trophy, If Ancelotti did not make any mistakes for doing information, because sometimes Ancelotti makes wrong decisions and it affects the players on the field, Barcelona will qualify to the round of 16 of the Champions League, because they are the only club in their group that is strong, and I don't think any club in their group can defeat them.

Barcelona have many important matches in this month but have absent with five regular players such as Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri adn Frenkie De Jong. Its not good situation for Xavi Hernandez exactly in this month have to face Real Madrid in El Clasico match without have their important player. Last update, Gavi rumor get injury with Spain national teams and not confirming yet about how serious injury with him will absent for several matches later or not. Next match against Athletic Bilbao, Xavi Hernandez have try with new formula or scheme to anticipation with some important player absent, he try with attacking line and see how effective with Ferran Torres replacing Robert Lewandowski position.

Barcelona is in terrible trouble. I don't think they can keep playing well because some of their key players are injured as you said such as Kounde, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri and Frenkie De Jong I don't think Barcelona will play well in their two matches this month, Athletic Club and Real Madrid. It will be difficult for them because of the missing players, but I am confident they will try to recover in time to play against Real Madrid, because it will be a very difficult game for them I will decide who can win the trophy this season, because each club will show their talent on the pitch and each coach will try their hardest to win the match but I know real madrid can win the match but it will be very difficult for them because Barcelona are in home camp nou, last season real madrid defeated Barcelona on the camp nou let's see if they can repeat the same this season.
