La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[imamusma]

Problematic is how much Barcelona has been depending on Lewandowski. I read through some of the more recent publications and found Barcelona's comment about his injury. His questionable status for the El Clasico is a serious concern. We are all aware that this game is not just any game, but rather a spectacle and a pivotal moment for the league. The issue is made much more alarming by the absence of important players like De Jong, Kounde, and Lewandowski. Although Barcelona has home advantage due to their location at Camp Nou, I am really doubting their ability to win without their star scorer. Joao Felix, sure, might be able to briefly bridge the gap left by Lewandowski, but he doesnt have the same presence or background as the Polish player. About Barcelona's chances in the El Clasico, I really do concern.

Xavi faced a big challenge during the EL Clasico match, of course everyone already knows that Barcelona is being hit by a storm of injuries, I think this is the moment Xavi shows his quality when the availability of key players is absent. Xavi is required to formulate the best scheme with the available player choices, regardless of this, Barcelona is still the defending champion. On the other hand, this crucial moment is also very useful for back-up players to show their quality. I think Xavi is very familiar with this type of pressure.

On the other hand, of course I never underestimate the strength of Real Madrid, Ancelotti also found several of his players in the treatment room. I see that both sides do not have a number 9 striker, in this case it is quite even. Although I also really understand that Madrid strength so far is more promising, because Ancelotti has a squad that is considered more complete, Xavi can be a little free because Barcelona acts as host.

The nature of football Barcelona is playing currently is still appealing and it has not made them lose their stand in the competition just yet. The absence of Lewandowski in the forward position is felt, but it hasn't caused them to falter in their performance, as they continue to improve even without him. Xavi is a coach who has a unique coaching approach that allows other players to shine and improve on their own performance. When certain players are injured, his coaching method truly helps him because he always has a good alternative for them to keep the winning mindset intact. Hopefully, Lewandowski will be fully recovered shortly, allowing the team to continue on their winning stride as usual.

The absence of Lewandowski in the attacking position has caused Barcelona attacking power to decrease slightly, Lewandowski presence has helped Barcelona a lot through the goals he has scored. Xavi was a little confused due to Lewandowski injury, he began to urge Barcelona to immediately bring Vitor Roque to Camp Nou. Xavi feels that his team is a little limping in the absence of Lewandowski, Vitor Roque is considered to be an ideal replacement for Lewandowski because he is also very productive in scoring goals with Athletico Paranaense.

Barcelona does have some secondary strikers but these strikers are not as good as lewandowski. I remember that when lewandowski was absent at early season. The performance from barcelona has been downgrading a lot. We may see barcelona struggle in scoring as many goals as possible due to the lack of good striker in the club. De jong is not yet fully recoverin at this moment. Barcelona faces a strong club like bilbao. The club can now only relying upon its wingers.
Felix will have more burden caused by he has a responsibility in scoring for barcelona. I wonder who is going to be a temporary central forward.
Barcelona is only having lewandowski who was playing as central striker for barcelona at this moment. The club doesn't have any. No doubt if barcelona is very depending on lewandowskin in scoring goals to win against its opponent.
The match against madrid in upcoming week will become a very hard test for barcelona without lewandowski.

Sevilla vs Real Madrid

Sevilla will play at home and host the La Liga leaders this week. Real Madrid is 2 points ahead of Girona and 3 points ahead of Barcelona, ​​but this match will certainly be very challenging. Real Madrid must win the match and get 3 points to maintain their position, but if they lose or draw So Girona will most likely lead the standings or have the same points if Madrid draws.

Real Madrid has a high probability of winning at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. However, Sevilla must receive special attention considering that they also have a good chance of winning points at home this week. Real Madrid is in good form, but there is no guarantee that they can avoid defeat or draw in this match. What do you think?

Barcelona are ranked 3rd and currently unbeaten this season. They're capable of reaching crucial phases in UCL competition and also anticipating actively in La Liga race for the title. Xavi Hernandez is not frightened by the tough fixtures coming, he's an experienced coach and possess the required mentality to win tough games. Barcelona can face these upcoming games without the presence of Robert Lewandowski. Though his presence is required but he's not present due to injury which he's actually making quick recovery, perhaps they have João Félix who's an outstanding player for the club, followed by João Cancelo and IIkay Gundogan, these new signings have contributed to the team positively this season.

Robert Lewandowski is currently out injured and is likely not to feature for Barcelona at least in two weeks from now and that means that the club are going to play some of the most vital abd difficult fixtures of the season which includes the Spanish El Clasico without the Poland striker.
Xavi Hernandez who's the manager of Barcelona already knows that he's not gonna have his No. 9 striker in those games and as expected is going to device other means of playing those crucial games without Lewandowski. With what he's been able to achieve with Barcelona this season, Xavi Hernandez is likely to come out of those games with good results.

Barcelona had to accept the bitter reality after several of its mainstay players were injured, including one of its mainstay strikers Lewandowski. Losing Lewandowski made Xavi dizzy, he had to devise a strategy by placing Ferran Torres as a replacement for Lewandowski. In the last match they were only able to draw with Granada, Barcelona was 2-0 behind before finally being able to finish the game with a score of 2-2.

Bilbao has performed quite well this season, Barcelona must improve the strength of their back line because this season they have conceded a lot of goals. In the front line position, Xavi can still rely on the trio of Felix, Torres and Yamal. These three player can still be relied on with the support a midfielder who can send accurate passes for them. Barcelona really needs a win in order to keep their distance from Real Madrid and Girona, Xavi must also emphasize the defenders to close gaps that could endanger their goal.

[khiholangkang]

Barcelona has serious matches ahead of it. For example, they will play in Champions League matches and Lewandowski is a very important star player for these matches. It is acceptable to leave him on the bench or not take him into the game to help him recover from his injury. They need him in other important matches. Also, a great player like Joao Felix can close that gap.

Barcelona are ranked 3rd and currently unbeaten this season. They're capable of reaching crucial phases in UCL competition and also anticipating actively in La Liga race for the title. Xavi Hernandez is not frightened by the tough fixtures coming, he's an experienced coach and possess the required mentality to win tough games.

Though his presence is required but he's not present due to injury which he's actually making quick recovery, perhaps they have João Félix who's an outstanding player for the club, followed by João Cancelo and IIkay Gundogan, these new signings have contributed to the team positively this season.

I can't see what Joao Felix will give, why so many people think that Felix is so great?, It will be very difficult to describe that Felix can contribute more to Barcelona.

Barcelona, if in the Qualification of the UCL group phase, it is definitely qualifying, seen from its competitors in the group, of course it is an easy opponent for Xavi to dominate and they certainly pass, I see that no one can even be comparable to them.

But in the domestic league, they are a little choked up, although today they can still stay in the third position of the La Liga standings, after a draw with Granada at the home of Granada Los Cármenes Stadium, the match made everyone ask, what happened to Barcelona, and Some even say the bookie gambling interferes in the results of this match, so that the results of the match can end in a draw, with the assessment of the strength and ability of Barcelona should be able to slaughter Granada.

Furthermore, against Bilbao next week, which if the match against Granada is a pure result, showing the state of Barcelona today, of course Bilbao has a great opportunity to get a victory over Barcelona.

You have mentioned a few important problems here, but I would add one more problem, which you may or may not agree with. The transfer of Lewandowski  may have made sense for a season or two, but I think that Barcelona should have been more aware of his age. It can work out and a player plays his best at the age of 36 or 37, but in terms of realistic expectations Barcelona should have known that things can go South with him. Lewa is still good at scoring goals, but he is not as good as he used to be when he still played for Bayern. His scoring average went down significantly and I really don't think he can get there again. More injuries will make it harder for him to get back to his best level. Considering all circumstances I believe he was an expensive transfer. Now they lack a substitute as well and it's problematic because that's a problem that can't quickly be solved.

45 million Euro, with 5 million Euro in potential add-ons, is not that expensive for a player like Robert Lewandowski. Buying him was a risk Barca was willing to take because he was still at his best in Bayern Munich. He is still dangerous upfront scoring goals for Barcelona but like you said age will be his major disadvantage. At this stage, he would be prone to injury which will take more time to heal when compared with younger players. Another issue is that Barca doesn't have the financial resources to buy more quality players that could create opportunities for him to score. Players like Lewi cannot create many opportunities but their experience is their major advantage. He knows where to be at the right time and is always clinical when a goalscoring opportunity comes. Sadly, I think his performance will continue to drop due to his age and Barca will have to seek other alternatives if they want to keep scoring goals.
        

I agree and I didn't call it a mistake for the reason you mentioned. He was still at his best when he played for Bayern. But considering all circumstances, Barcelona intended to rebuild their squad on many positions in order to get started into new and better times. That's why I thought that Lewandowski didn't really make perfect sense as he also costs them a lot in salaries I suppose. He is making about € 21 million. That's a lot of money that they could have also used to pay a younger talent with a bright future. You also mentioned how clinical he is and in my opinion that is what was lacking compared to his last few years at Bayern Munich. He used to be much more clinical and efficient with his chances. But we will see how this goes for him and also for Barcelona.

[QueenVera]

Rotating players during an important match is a risky thing to do, but it is not wrong to do, as long as the coach does rotate players who are considered to be able to contribute to their game to replace players who cannot be played in the match.
I see these 2 competitions will be a priority for Xavi to achieve the best in 2 different competitions. Last season they failed in the Chmpions League, although they could win La Liga, but the fact is that some people were not happy when they failed miserably in the Champions League. Moreover, this is Xavi's second (full) season, so he has to show that he can also bring Barcelona a lot to talk about in the Champions League.

Rotating of players is the best option for Barcelona if they need to do better in the El classico, it's mostly risky when a club doesn't have good alternative players in their squad however Barcelona's squad depth is good so they'll rest some players against Shakhtar Donetsk and feature them in the match against Realmadrid and I think Barcelona would do just fine in the Champions League match against Donetsk whether they use their key players or not.

 Well it would be tough for Xavi to achieve success against Donetsk and Realmadrid, they might win Donetsk no doubt but Realmadrid would give them a tough time and might even win them cause their performance is very good currently that's why player rotation is needed for Barcelona would rest and use most of their key players against Realmadrid.

Barcelona still unbeaten but they have 3 draw of 9 matches and have three points remaining with Real Madrid on top position standings, have injury problem with Barcelona player such as many Pedri, Frenkie De Jong and Robert Lewandowski still can't guarantee already upcoming match against  Athletic Bilbao. New signing have more contribution for Barcelona with IIkay Gundogan get regular on midfielder position and João Cancelo have locked one place on right defender position.

Opponent teams Athletic Bilbao have quit well performance, they have won 5 of 9 matches and remaining 4 points from Barcelona, against Barcelona could be opportunity to make points close and move to 4th position.

I think, even if Barcelona plays without Lewandowski in the match against Bilbao, it looks like Barcelona still has a chance to still get full points. Because yes, as you have mentioned, Barcelona has new players who have managed to adapt well and quickly too. So yes, I am sure, even though Lewandowski cannot be played in the match against Bilbao, but of course Barcelona will still have a chance to win. Because basically, Xavi has good abilities to keep Barcelona well in its competition for the top four in La Liga.

Joao Felix, sure, might be able to briefly bridge the gap left by Lewandowski, but he doesnt have the same presence or background as the Polish player. About Barcelona's chances in the El Clasico, I really do concern.

We'll see, every development before this match is held. However, if we talk about the absence of several Barcelona players, it will clearly be a loss for them.  Moreover, the absent players are core players. Fortunately, Xavi still has other options as a replacement and is no less good than the main players. Gavi, Gundohan and Fermin Lopez or Oriol Romeu, and Xavi can rely on them in midfield. Kounde's absence, Xavi still has a decent player option as a replacement. Likewise Raphinha, they have Lamine Yamal.

Now, the problem is on the front lines. in short, will Xavi implement a 4-3-3 pattern. Or, Barcelona will pair two strikers on the front line, namely Felix and Torres. Thus, this system can overcome Lewandowski's injury problem. we can see Madrid's line up and pattern, like Don Carlo. Because they didn't have a number 9 who could be a goal machine in their squad, Ancelotti changed his style and system by playing two strikers on the front line. which means, Xavi can also apply the same pattern. However, it all depends on what the Barcelona coach thinks.
Well, this match will be an important match even without Lewandowski's presence. because, Xavi has the option if he wants to apply other patterns and systems. Plus, they have capable players. although to be honest, I'm quite doubtful of Ferran Torres. So, it's clear that Barcelona still has the potential to win the El Clasico battle. It's just that, we'll see what Xavi will implement.

I agree with what you say, this will be a challenging match for Real Madrid, because Girona who are 2 points behind them will play against Almeria (the bottom team in La Liga standings), I have no doubts that Girona will get their 3 points later, therefore Real Madrid must really get 3 points when playing away against Sevilla.

The interesting thing about the meeting between the two teams at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan is the small goal difference, this could be an opportunity for bettors to place a bet on the O/U type and choose "Under" or choose Sevilla in Handicap betting. What do you think?

On paper Real Madrid should be able to win. Also, Sevilla this season does not have a good trend, they are only good in the Europa league but in La Liga their performance is unstable, different from Real Madrid. It would be a surprise if Real Madrid only get one point or none at all, because indeed their position in the standings is not very safe and Girona has an easy match against Almeria.

But for betting I personally not sure, and I agree with you that betting on O/U goals would be a good option for me. Under 3 goals might be good too, what do you think?

If that's the case then it means they have to take a risk for them in the Champions League, of course it's a difficult choice, when they need to win in the Champions League on the other hand they also have to be able to win against Real Madrid.
But the risk must be taken, and of course the strength of their potential opponents is also a consideration here. If we look at the two clubs they will face, it is clear that Donetsk may be weaker than Real Madrid and that consideration may be taken. Obviously something like this is not without risk, but I hope Xavi can wisely think about what he will do.

[MAAManda]

But for betting I personally not sure, and I agree with you that betting on O/U goals would be a good option for me. Under 3 goals might be good too, what do you think?

As of now the odds available on Rollbit for under 3 are @1.71, not too bad IMO, at least if it doesn't reach @2.00, but it has a pretty good chance of happening. The last meeting between the two teams at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan resulted in 1 - 2 in favor of Real Madrid, if that happens again, then the bet on under 3 will be void, wouldn't it be better to choose under 3.5 goals? BTW, don't forget to pay attention to the bookies for the Girona - Almeria match, if we are 99% sure that Girona will win, why not bet on that match too?

[BIT-BENDER]

Hey guys with the recent play in Spanish la Liga which team right now do you think is going to win the Spanish la Liga. In terms of playing real Madrid and Athletico Madrid has been doing very well this period. And although Barcelona has not been doing too badly I think they don't have a chance currently but they may still pick form before the season runs out.

But right now I would say real Madrid has been the best team and they have the players that would really help them win the league. They also have the Coach to really also do well in the league and also in the UEFA champions league

[ndutndut]

Why should you think about betting under, why not think that Girona's match against Almeria will end in over 3? I see Girona this season being very productive in scoring goals, especially if you look at the last two Girona vs Almeria meetings which produced big scores. Last season in the first meeting the score was 3-2 to win Almeria and in the second match last season the score was 6-2 to win Girona.

So I will bet safely on the Girona vs Almeria match, I will bet Girona to win and for o/u I will bet over 2.5.

[Jossque]

The opening match of the week is Osasuna-Granada. Osasuna are one of the most unpredictable teams this year. The away team Granada, on the other hand, has shown more confidence. Granada managed to get 1 win in the first 6 weeks and 3 draws in the last 3 weeks. If we look at the matches they played during 9 weeks, we can see that 2 of them were low in terms of goals scored. In most of their matches they have managed to score and concede both goals. Especially the last 3 matches ended in draws with goals, one of them against Barcelona. Even though they led 2-1 at half time, they couldn't protect this score in the second half. It was a sad loss of points for Barcelona, who dominated the match from start to finish.

[hahay]

But right now I would say real Madrid has been the best team and they have the players that would really help them win the league. They also have the Coach to really also do well in the league and also in the UEFA champions league

For now, I personally believe that Real Madrid have a chance to get the La Liga trophy. Maybe not only that, because if Bellingham is not injured throughout this season, then I believe Real Madrid have a chance to get the treble winner. Maybe, for some people the assessment could be an excessive assessment but for me, there is nothing wrong if I have such an assessment. Because after all, I really recognize the great potential that Bellinghan has this moment, because it looks like Bellingham will succeed in providing a great achievement for Real Madrid this season. Because after all at the same time, basically Real Madrid also still has other great players in the Real Madrid squad this moment. So yes, with so many great players available in the Real Madrid squad, then of course that factor can be a strong push for Real Madrid to get a lot of trophies this season.

[KTChampions]

Xavi was lucky to win La Liga (due to the crisis in Real Madrid) but, for example, Barcelona have terrible results in European cups. If we were not talking about a top club with big ambitions, then average results would be acceptable, but Barcelona, despite the financial crisis and the scandal with bribery of referees that continues to develop, still considers itself a top club, so they need better results. At some point, Xavi may be fired due to results or simply because Xavi still hasn't proven that he has a high level of competence.

Barcelona been crowned champions of La Liga last season due to the credibility and an easy one with outstanding performance. Though things was a little bit rough for the Blaugrana but they buckle up and face the reality of game. They're ambitious and triggers the best results. Talking about Xavi Hernandez been fired by Barcelona board this season, ofcourse it's impossible because the Barca legend have grown to become a top experienced coach with incredible abilities on his squad.  Xavi is competent enough to handle the tough tasks coming his way this season.

You definitely didn’t watch last season (a lot of victories with a minimum score, in the last minutes, etc.) and write some kind of fiction. Barcelona became champions against the backdrop of a crisis in Atletico and a transitional season in Real (which became such due to Mbappe's liar and Benzema's injuries). As for Xavi, his coaching decisions + - as in the season before last, he has not yet proven anything at all.

Well last season Realmadrid had a better squad than Barcelona even a very good defence line, they even got more financial advantage than Barcelona but Xavi tried to perform well with the squad he got and won the league trophy, though his performance in the UCL last Season was nothing to talk about but he really tried to win the league and that should be acknowledged because even with a better squad Madrid couldn't win it last year.

 If not for the financial Crisis they're facing that's making them to cut cost and come up with loan deals to get players Barcelona would had been able to sign top players that would make them very strong, if you noticed some of their players are home grown upon that they still managed to win the league, one thing I like about Xavi is that he knows the right players that suit his club and goes for them.
 

[temple]

I guess that this is also what's going to happen. Real Madrid would never sell him if they don't have to and unless he turns into some greedy Mbappe kind of guy, I don't think he will ever consider leaving Real Madrid. Maybe towards the end of his career, but I think he knows that he has an amazing future ahead of him and he can become someone like Zidane in his prime for the whole club. Just think about the story this guy can write if he plays for Real Madrid for the next 1.5 decades and becomes better and more important to the team than he already is. His world class career has just begun.

I think this is one of the wisest decision Bellingham will make to remain in a league for a consecutively 10 years. That kind of consistency will help me a lot to stabilize and go a long way in the team. It will give the player the much needed control and experience to play with top La Liga club, Barcelona and other leagues, especially when it comes to the UCL.

I have the feeling that if he will position himself, he can do better than Cristiano Ronaldo  in terms of performance considering his age now and the records he's working towards with the team. Jude Bellingham is one of my most admired players of the year. He has done exceptionally well.

And this would also guarantee that he is the one who will be known for a new Real Madrid era. Big personalities like Kroos and Modric will soon leave and he is the one who really is the best. Vinicius Junior would have to become better at scoring, but he is of course also at the very top of world football. Now this would become more exciting if Mbappe joined those players. I think they are already among the top three teams in the world given the shape they are in, but Mbappe would improve the team by a lot because he brings in some extra quality that is still stronger than what Vinicius Junior has.
