La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[borovichok]

I wouldn't want to say it was disappointing in any way but I would just say I was Madrid having a bad day. Ramos knowing that he was playing against his former team he did put up such a good performance probably to prove that he is still deserving of playing in Madrid, he was one of the factors that gave Madrid a hard time winning regardless of all they did.

Vinicius and his colleagues had a bad day but they did their very best with every of their performance, but we expected more from them tho, after the equalizer by Sevilla I expected Madrid to still secure a goal to get a win, but Sevilla defended every attempt just to make sure they maintain that glory at home, but then Madrid was able to get to the top with that extra one point and displaced Atletico.

Real Madrid had 1-1 draw with Sevilla at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuan stadium. It's quite understandable that Real Madrid had the basic qualities and upper hand to win but 2 goals was ruled out, one is upside and the other is a foul. Real Madrid put up a fierce show for the visitors who didn't also hold back but reciprocate in the second half. Vinicius Júnior and Jude Bellingham was outstanding throughout the game, contributed and made good runs in the game, but got unlucky because they couldn't score more goals as Sergio Ramos pin them with good tackles. Ramos is aggressive and his aggressive behavior to fight with his former teammates was very unprofessional for a high status player like him.

I'm confused why Real Madrid couldn't score more goals, maybe Sevilla's performance was very mature and confident against this big team. Sevilla were able to block the attacks of Real Madrid's famous front line players who are on the rise, you are right that Real Madrid's performance is not bad, but at the front it is not optimal so they cannot score more goals. I didn't expect Sevilla to be this strong, it looks like Real Madrid fans are a little disappointed with the game against Sevilla.

Sevilla played very well, even at the back they were also quite good so they didn't give Madrid many chances even though they conceded in the end in the second half, at least a draw was enough for Sevilla to maintain their position and not lose points playing at home, let alone disappoint all the fans. Sevilla's last chance might have been to win if Ramos' header had resulted in a goal but unfortunately it was still blocked by Kepa.

I think Ramos played well in the back line of defense even though facing his former club, he seems to know how to deal with Madrid's attacks, so that makes Madrid also seem to have difficulty scoring more goals as many fans hope that Madrid can win by scoring more than one goal against Sevilla's goal, but in reality they had to accept this draw.

Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in their last five matches and have lost just one of the matches they have played this season. Last season they finished the season 22-23 at number three in the points table with 77 points. This season's current performance looks like they have started this season from where they left off last season and are doing better than last season. 

In today's match against Celta Vigo, Atletico Madrid earned 3 points which moved them to the second position of the points table. 
Real Madrid is number one in the points table after playing 10 matches and Atletico Madrid is in the second position of the points table after playing nine matches.

If Atletico Madrid can get 3 points in the next match, then Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will have 23 points, but considering the goals, Atletico Madrid will move to number one in the points table.

Adding another win to their winning streak was important and also the continuation of a great response to the 0-3 loss they had against Valencia out of nowhere. It was also a game with a clean sheet, which makes Simeone always happy and is one of the core principles of their game. But without expressing any disrespect for their win against Celta Vigo at this point, I think a game should always be put into perspective when the opponent receives a red card after 25 minutes and is playing against one of the best teams in La Liga. That is why I am sure they thankfully take the result and the points home, but everyone in the Atletico team knows that the red card had a big effect and weakened Celta Vigo significantly.

Just 25 minutes into the game, Celta Vigo's reduced 10-man side were far behind, but it was still the winner at the end of the match that mattered most. Had Celta Vigo played the last 11, Atletico Madrid might have won this match, although the goal difference would not have been as great. In the match against Celta Vigo, Atletico Madrid performed well enough, seeing that Celta Vigo became a 10-man team, the performance of Atletico Madrid is good, but not like that, but Atletico Madrid has been performing consistently this season and we have seen consistent performance from them in the last match as well. 

Griezmann was unstoppable in this match for Atlético Madrid, scoring the first goal from the penalty spot and later adding two more goals to his name to complete his hat-trick.

[bering]

If Barcelona can able to overcomes Bilbao today then they will overtake 2nd place from Atletico Madrid but recent result from Granada is really showed Barcelona performance was slightly decline and losing some of key players really have an affect to their performance especially losing Lewandowski that Barcelona don't have any worth replacement to forward position because so far Barcelona always be rely on Lewandowski to scores goals and recently Jules Koundé also has uncertain condition but hopefully he can be available for this match and i know from meetings statistics Barcelona without any problem can beat Bilbao but now it's different because Barcelona losing some players and Bilbao condition also in the good shape after only lose once from 5 latest matches

The odds for this match

Barcelona @1.60
Draw @3.60
Bilbao @5.00

[topbitcoin]

I don't know what to call yesterday's match against Sevilla but it is closed to a disappointment from Real Madrid to have draw in that match. I was really expecting a win. Bellingham was not lucky yesterday neither was Vinicius and Rodrigo. I was expecting a goal from each of these players aforementioned but none could deliver until when Carvajal scored for Real Madrid. I feel like the team could have performed better than they did because they were in a full squad yesterday but that's the game of football, most times it works like gambling.

Valverde and Jude's disallowed goals were really bad luck but on the other hand I also appreciate what Sevilla did in this match especially for Sergio who in this match in my opinion he did good defense and good attack considering he was very active in this match to try to help the attack but on the other hand he was also disciplined in the defensive area he guarded.
This is not really expected but on the other hand we also have to accept that things like this will definitely happen and indeed Madrid also did not play badly in this match it's just that Sevilla also played a good scheme that was difficult for Madrid to reduce.

[W Jr.]

Finally, Ramos became a solid wall for Real Madrid players. Ramos is doing very well, and actually maybe he still deserves to play for Madrid. In addition, Anceloti seems to be a little regretful about letting Ramos go. There were not many Madrid chances, they were not able to control the game well. Even Sevilla was able to make Madrid difficult, Bellingham was not able to perform optimally. Luckily they were able to make one goal so as to avoid defeat. Losing 2 points is enough to make it difficult for them to keep their distance from the 2nd and 3rd ranks.

Sevilla showed a good performance in their home field and they should be appreciated for this. Real Madrid did not give them a chance in the match, but they managed to get a draw. 1 point was very important in this match. Of course, 3 points is better, but they might have been happy to get 1 point from such a strong team.

[Cryptmuster]

The most interesting thing in the game between Sevilla and Real Madrid was about the moment when they were tackled by Sergio Ramos.
Sergio Ramos played for Real Madrid for years and he got many achievements in this team but today he played against his team he had many good days there, I think we could even see a worse fight between Sergio Ramos and Antonio Rüdiger.

It seems to me that Ramos to some extent regrets leaving Real Madrid. He failed to achieve anything significant at PSG and is now only in Seville, which is in the middle of the table, but that is his choice. The match turned out to be quite tough, it is clear that Sevilla was determined for a difficult match, but they managed to play a draw, although I expected that Real would be able to win and I liked Real more, they deserved to win this match. Girona will have a great chance to level with Real on points today as they host Almeria, who are doing very poorly.

The odds for this match

Barcelona @1.60
Draw @3.60
Bilbao @5.00

Bilbao is in 6th place in the La Liga standings at the moment, they started this season very well so in my opinion the Bilbao team should not be underestimated in the match and I was very surprised when the bookie issued odds which were quite favorable to Barcelona and gave quite large odds for Bilbao's victory because in my opinion it is not impossible that Bilbao can win in this match, especially now that the Barcelona team is having problems with a lack of main players due to injuries, so this could be a hole or weak point for Barcelona that Bilbao can exploit.

Odds @ 1.60 I don't think it's worth betting on because I think the possibility of Barcelona winning this match is not that big.

Sevilla showed a good performance in their home field and they should be appreciated for this. Real Madrid did not give them a chance in the match, but they managed to get a draw. 1 point was very important in this match. Of course, 3 points is better, but they might have been happy to get 1 point from such a strong team.

Of course the result of this draw is profitable for Sevilla and vice versa for Real Madrid, I think Real Madrid's front line played quite badly so that no goals were scored by the Real Madrid strikers even though Real Madrid were quite favored in this match because their performance in the previous match was quite good. good and this is inversely proportional to Sevilla, but in reality this result is quite disappointing for the Real Madrid team.

[Jossque]

Sociedad took all three points in a tough game against Mallorca at home, even if it was only 1-0. Mallorca, as a team that has scored and conceded a lot of goals in the last four weeks, could have expected to score in this match, but we saw a team that struggled to score against Sociedad. Both teams had plenty of chances in the game, but only one goal was scored, which made the game low in terms of viewing pleasure. The fact that there was only one goal despite 32 shots in the match shows how lively the match was.

[kro55]

Sevilla's players had a great performance today. And this was the best Sevilla performance I have seen this season. Sevilla's players played very well in the whole match. They did not play defensive at all in this match. They did a lot of attacks. Sevilla seems to be attacking more than even Real Madrid in this match. There is no doubt that Ramos played very well. Navas and Acuna's performances were also very good.

Yeah, I'm sure Sevilla's performance against Real Madrid this time was quite surprising to many parties, especially the Real Madrid players themselves. We know that Sevilla often plays not optimally, and even wastes many opportunities. But this time, they were able to provide fierce resistance to Real Madrid. Indeed, Sevilla often becomes stronger when their opponents are strong top teams. They were even more offensive this time. We can look at the statistics, they actually have a higher chance of attacking. However, they have not been able to penetrate Real Madrid's goal. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Real Madrid itself is not impressive enough. Even though they were ahead, their own mistakes resulted in an own goal (OG). Real Madrid is definitely regretting this draw. Bellingham also didn't score a goal this time.

As we have seen performance from Sevilla in previous matches, Sevilla's performance in this match was completely different. Sevilla were confident in the home match. And that's why their performance was great. Sevilla team had a very organized performance. And they managed to attack a lot in this match. Real Madrid players probably did not expect Sevilla to play such an attacking strategy against Madrid. A total of 17 shots were made by Sevilla in this match and 7 of them were on target. If Sevilla had an experienced striker in their squad, they might have been able to win this match.

[hyudien]

Apart from Sevilla's strong defense, Real Madrid's front is also in the spotlight in this match because they didn't play optimally, this result is very disappointing even though the Real Madrid team is in its best performance and Sevilla with all its problems and even the Sevilla team with its new coach, of course This result is not a satisfactory result for Real Madrid.
However, this match was quite fierce, with high tension, there were even several incidents involving Sergio Ramos and his former colleagues at Real Madrid, this was quite exciting in my opinion and Ramos was really still the same as before.

Madrid should have been ahead in that match, but because the referee disallowed 2 goals, in the end they had to share the points with Sevilla. In my opinion, Madrid's match against Sevilla has been very tight so far. Where Sergio Ramos made many saves in his defense, he also had 2 opportunities but couldn't turn them into goals. The dispute between Madrid and Sevilla players was very tense, Ramos even pinched Rudiger cheek. However, at the end of the match I received news that Sergio Ramos spent almost an hour just reminiscing with the Madrid players. Even though on the field there was almost a clash. That's Sergio Ramos, even though he is an opponent, his presence cannot be rejected. Ancelotti also seems to miss the most instrumental defender while defending Los Blancos.

Just 25 minutes into the game, Celta Vigo's reduced 10-man side were far behind, but it was still the winner at the end of the match that mattered most. Had Celta Vigo played the last 11, Atletico Madrid might have won this match, although the goal difference would not have been as great.

Griezmann was unstoppable in this match for Atlético Madrid, scoring the first goal from the penalty spot and later adding two more goals to his name to complete his hat-trick.

Out of curiosity, did you watch the game or did you watch the highlights? I have done it a moment ago and I have to say that this is probably the luckiest hattrick Griezman has ever scored. Honestly, it wasn't like he delivered an outlandish performance. The penalty was a present and a brutally hard decision by the referee after the horrible mistake made by the goalkeeper. But since I doubt that Morata would have had a chance to touch the ball twice and exploit the mistake made by the goalkeeper, I don't know if the red card was necessary along with the penalty. It seemed like an overly hard decision to me, but maybe that is what the rules say. I thought that the striker must have a chance to get to the ball after touching it, but anyway.

Griezmann's second goal was pure luck because when he wanted to play a cross ball, his standing leg slipped away and due to that the cross ball turned into a shot on target and hit the back of the net. That was goal number two...

The third goal was a combination of a low reaction by the goalkeeper and a chance that no striker on earth would have missed although Griezmann almost missed it. I would not overstate Griezmann's performance in this game because his name showed up three times on the scoreboard.

Celta de Vigo are in relegation zone after humiliating defeats against an elite side. What they were planning was contrary to what they faced, they were dissapointed after the referee, Guillermo Cuadra issued a straight red card to Celta de Vigo goalkeeper for a crucial foul committed. Villar was sent off and leaving the home team something to bother about. Celta reduced to 10 men, giving Atletico Madrid more golden goal opportunities to net goals. Good news for Antoine Griezmann for his terrific hat-trick, he received MOTM for his outstanding performance.

Even Sevilla was able to make Madrid difficult, Bellingham was not able to perform optimally. Luckily they were able to make one goal so as to avoid defeat. Losing 2 points is enough to make it difficult for them to keep their distance from the 2nd and 3rd ranks.

However, in my opinion, Ancelotti has nothing to regret regarding Ramos. Better players than him came and gone, and players shouldn't spend their entire careers with one club. The team continued to have strong backline defenders like Rudiger even after Romas transferred to another club, Rudiger was awarded man of the match against Sevilla. Although he is a brave defender, I don't believe he can have the same background as Sergio Ramos. With his stupid heading attempt to score yesterday, I remained confused as to how Ramos was still powerful despite his advanced age. Ramos is a dangerous defense, and new Real Madrid players will believe what people are saying about him.

It seemed as though Bellingham was not on the field, the second half Sevilla really played Real Madrid. If not for the goal by Valverde that was canceled, Real Madrid would have taken the three points. I believe Kepa is following Courtois' lead in keeping the clean sheet he was removing. Kepa's performances really helped the team.

[tusandii]

Real Madrid's match yesterday initially impressed me seeing the playing style of Vincius Jr and Bellingham and Rodrygo who were very enthusiastic about getting a win to beat Sevilla but all of that was just my hope and in fact Real Madrid had difficulty scoring more than 1 in that match when there were Sergio Ramos, who was in Sevilla's defense, became stronger and from the start I bet, I was actually a little doubtful because every match in LaLiga, Real Madrid only always 1 or 2 scores, even though they won, the score difference was very small and I lost the bet for Real Madrid.
With this incident I think is very important for Real madrid to get a reliable striker to help strengthen the attack line even though there are Vinicius and Bellingham but the strength of the attack line still very small for me.

[ndutndut]

That's Sergio Ramos, even though he is an opponent, his presence cannot be rejected. Ancelotti also seems to miss the most instrumental defender while defending Los Blancos.

Ramos indeed performed very well, perhaps he already knows the direction of Real Madrid's game and already knows the movements of the Real Madrid players by heart. This is clearly different when Sevilla plays against Barcelona. Ramos performed badly, and that's how Ramos was, he was still very strong for the Real Madrid striker to pass.

In this match, Real Madrid should have won three points but unfortunately two goals were disallowed by the referee. I also don't understand Ancellloti, he brought on Cama and Modric instead of replacing Vede with Tchou, even though he should have replaced Kroos with Mendy, so he knows for himself what Alaba is like in blocking opponents' crosses, if Tchou is there he will definitely help the defense. and Camavinga is better as a LB.

This draw is not very good for Real Madrid, and will make next week's El Clasico very hot.

The team statistics for this game are as follows:

Shots - 17:14
Shots on target - 7:5
Corners - 4:6

With almost equal ball possession. Obviously, in order to win such equal games you need to have someone who makes the difference and whose percentage of scoring chances is higher than average. If you have such a player, you can win games even those where your opponent has an advantage. Unfortunately, there is no such striker in Real Madrid now. There is Bellingham, but he is a midfielder and a top striker is still needed.

An early red card ruined all Celta Vigo's plans. Their opponents were tough, but they might have had a chance for a draw. Villar threw his team into the fire with the red card he received and they could not escape from the bottom ranks of the league. They only collected 6 points after 10 matches and this is a really big problem.

[Strongkored]

If Barcelona can able to overcomes Bilbao today then they will overtake 2nd place from Atletico Madrid but recent result from Granada is really showed Barcelona performance was slightly decline and losing some of key players really have an affect to their performance especially losing Lewandowski that Barcelona don't have any worth replacement to forward position because so far Barcelona always be rely on Lewandowski to scores goals and recently Jules Koundé also has uncertain condition but hopefully he can be available for this match and i know from meetings statistics Barcelona without any problem can beat Bilbao but now it's different because Barcelona losing some players and Bilbao condition also in the good shape after only lose once from 5 latest matches

The odds for this match

Barcelona @1.60
Draw @3.60
Bilbao @5.00

This match is a big opportunity for Barcelona to reduce their point difference with Real Madrid, who could only draw with Sevilla in the 10th week of the match.
Barcelona must not lose this golden opportunity, what's more, Barcelona has quite a lot of wins when facing Atletico Bilbao, in fact in the last three meetings Barcelona managed to win with quite a landslide score plus this is a home game for Barcelona where this season they have not been defeated at home.
Barcelona has been quite successful in maintaining their record so far by not experiencing defeat just because three draws have kept them quite far from Real Madrid and with many matches still to be played, anything can happen where Barcelona is at the top of the standings.

[naira]

Even though Sevilla has performed poorly this season, Sevilla has Sergio Ramos, a former Real Madrid players, so Sevilla can rely on Setgio Ramos to block every move by Real Madrid.
Sergio Ramos has been dedicated to Real Madrid for many years and is currently at a different club. Of course, Ramos has a little understanding of Real Madrid attacks so that Sergio Ramos can balance Real Madrid playing style. Sevilla can even get the upper hand in breaking through Real Madrid defense and luckily Real Madrid managed to equalize so thats Real Madrid did not accept defeat in the match.
Even though there were clashes, the match was still competitive and Real Madrid had to be satisfied with the draw.

In the end, Sevilla is Ramos home, so there is no longer any reason not to defend his small club. For Madrid players, it is quite difficult to face their former captain, Ramos knows very well where Madrid weak point is at the moment. I think a draw is quite disappointing, but this result also doesn't make Madrid drop from the top of the standings.

If Barcelona can able to overcomes Bilbao today then they will overtake 2nd place from Atletico Madrid but recent result from Granada is really showed Barcelona performance was slightly decline and losing some of key players really have an affect to their performance especially losing Lewandowski that Barcelona don't have any worth replacement to forward position because so far Barcelona always be rely on Lewandowski to scores goals and recently Jules Koundé also has uncertain condition but hopefully he can be available for this match and i know from meetings statistics Barcelona without any problem can beat Bilbao but now it's different because Barcelona losing some players and Bilbao condition also in the good shape after only lose once from 5 latest matches

The odds for this match

Barcelona @1.60
Draw @3.60
Bilbao @5.00

Remaining without key players will only make Barcelona's appearance less stable. Their goal machine Lewandowski is not in good condition. This will be an opportunity for Bilbao to pressure Barcelona so that they cannot fully concentrate. On the other hand, Xavi will rotate several players, especially his attack line, because of course this requires Xavi to carry out a different strategy.

IMO Both Atletico Madrid, Girona and Barcelona have the same chance of occupying second place in the standings. Just need to compete, one of them gets full points. Because that way it will be easier for us to see which clubs are really benefiting.

Barcelona @1.60 is probably still pretty safe, @5.00 for Bilbao is a risky bet, but I'm interested.
