La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[temple]

The ball from Modric to Bellingh was an accident and not a pass, that is what I meant with a little bit of luck and at the same time I mentioned that Bellingham is doing so many things right during the games that this kind of luck results from effort. Yet, if Modric touches that ball differently, that goal might have never happened. I would consider myself a realist here. Saying that the preparation of that goal was 100% skill is as wrong as saying that that goal was 100% luck. It was a strong team effort that in the end worked out because there was a bit of luck involved as well.

However all of that happened because of the efforts of Real Madrid who continued to attack the Barcelona defense in the second half. I don't believe that luck just happened.
Regardless of luck or not, it must be admitted that Real Madrid deserved to win this match because they played much better than Barcelona, especially in the second half when Modric entered Real Madrid's game changed drastically.
And Bellingham was Real Madrid's savior after Real Madrid's front line played quite badly and fortunately Bellingham was able to come in and fill the void.

I think I found a sweet spot with my explanation stating that it was neither 100% skill nor was it 100% luck and yes, if one team works harder for success than the other, luck is also more often with them, which essentially declares that luck rightfully as the consequence of skill and effort. I agree with that, I was only referring to these last minute moments when a game that is tied gets decided by a ball that is unintentionally deflected by someone and then finds the way to a free striker who scores. I did not say it was undeserved.

Real Madrid is not completely safe from leading the standings even though they currently have several points ahead of Barcelona. Girona are level on points with Real Madrid, as are Atletico Madrid if they win their postponed match. Game by game it will be tough for all the teams although for now Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid look unstoppable, but yes they may still drop points in some of their other games in November or December.

Right now Barcelona is 4 points behind Real Madrid and Girona, but there are many people who believe that Barcelona can close the point gap when the team above them slips. I don't know which team can beat the current leaders besides Atletico Madrid, but Real Madrid cannot underestimate Rayo Vallecano in the next match.

Right now even if a club like Real Madrid tops the standing, we cannot conclude by saying they're successfully winning the league when the season have not gone half way.
Girona managed to win once more during the Copa del Rey game they played yesterday. They will face a difficult game against Osasuna who will be at home welcoming the visitors who will be away ( Girona ) they've had a glorious form so far.

I'm one of those who feels that Barcelona has got this. They have lost the El Classico but that is not tje end of the Spanish Campaign.
They should just see important players part of the squad returning.

The Spanish La Liga have just experienced 10 match weeks since the beginning of the season which means that there's a lot to play before we can be sure of who wins the Spanish title this season because there's chances of any of the top four teams in the league standings to end the season with the league trophy.
That being said, we can't shy away from the fact that Real Madrid has been the best team in the league since the start of the season and are very much in form at the the moment. With what I've seen so from the clubs in the Spanish league this season, I'll be very surprised not to see the Los Blancos win the league at the end of the league campaign

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Atlético Madrid is very strong this season. They have a strong squad. And they are consistently performing well. They have earned 25 points from 10 matches. If they win the next match, Atletico Madrid will be able to keep the top spot in the points table.
Atlético Madrid have talented players like Griezmann, Depay, Correa and Morate in their attack. And that's why Atletico Madrid's attack is so strong this season. Atletico Madrid managed to score 25 goals in 19 matches. And because of a strong attack, Atletico Madrid have been able to maintain consistency.

Atletico can never be ruled out at any time. Under Simeone they’ve always been a good team, they play turgid football, really ugly but it’s effective.

It wouldn’t surprise me one but if they compete for the title this season. They’re far from favourites but they’re definitely in the conversation.

Well I think you're right they still got about 28 matches left before the end of the league, so far Realmadrid is the best performing team they've beaten Barcelona in the 1st El Classico match to keep them in the first place, However if they try their best to be consistent for about the next 15-20 matches then they could stand a chance of winning the Laliga title this season, with the kind of forn they've got this season I don't think it would be very difficult for them remain consistent for a long time.
 
 If you noticed, last season they didn't put more effort in the domestic league,  they performed better in the Champions league but were so unfortunate not to reach the finals, however they've strengthen their squad this season and are more active in the in the Laliga as well as the UCL games,  left for me I think they're the most likely to win the match.

Yes indeed, basically Atletico have always been the third team after Real Madrid and Barcelona. But at this moment, it looks like Real Madrid will compete fiercely with Atletico, while for Barcelona maybe this season is not a good season for Barcelona in La Liga after last season Barcelona managed to get the La Liga trophy. Because anyway, at this moment also the fact that Barcelona has a 4 point gap with Real Madrid and surprisingly, currently Girona has the same points as Real Madrid and that is the biggest surprise at this moment in La Liga.

Yeah they always play a very different style of football but it really works for them. Normally a strong team doesn't gets happy with the results like that after a season but for Atletico they are patient and keeps on relying on the same every season. So yeah it's not a good to watch but gets the results that board of Atletico and fans wants to see.

[Weawant]

Yes, I agree with you. Real Madrid position is still not safe, the points gap is really close. Even, Barcelona might be able to return to consistency because currently Lewandoski is available, only De Jong their main player is still not available. Also, there are still many matches ahead, there are still opportunities for Atletico and Barcelona. Real Madrid must be to keep work hard until the end if they want to secure the title, but their journey will be very difficult if they not recruit a good striker in the winter transfer window.

Lewandoski is available but not fully back because he is still injury prone and I don't think he has recovered completely, there are rumors he may still need to continue his recovery till January before they can be sure he has recovered fully but then I think Barcelona is still in form.

Barcelona and Madrid and the most likely contenders who will battle for the title this season. Real Madrid is just few points away from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid but then I don't see Atletico as so much of a threat because they are looking temporary with their current position, because when they start meeting with tougher team they may most likely drop points, Girona at the second position on the table is trying to pose a threat at Real Madrid with them been just goals away from displacing Real Madrid as they have some level of consistency.

[el kaka22]

ATM will definitely beat Las Palmas there is no doubt about that, they are even ahead of Barcelona right now and they have one game missing too, so if they win that extra game they would be tied with Real and Girona at the top right now. I think it's very tough for Barcelona to accept the fact that even Girona is at the top and they are not.

I guess Barcelona will get a win this week because they can't afford to lose so they are going to play with 100% and try to get that win, in fact aside from the top clubs they face, they will try to beat everyone and play like it's their last game until they catch up with the top, otherwise if they ever lose another point while the top keeps winning, they are going to be very tough to get back from there. I am guessing that it's a tough business but shouldn't be impossible for them. I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that should be a little bit different on the long run and could be done differently.

[ShowOff]

Even though Atletico won against Las Palmas and then Atletico were at the top of the standings, but Atletico would return to position 3. Because after all, Real Madrid and Girona also still have a good chance of winning in the next match or in this weekend's match. So yes, it doesn't matter even though Atletico won against Las Palmas, because in reality Atletico still cannot maintain the top position in the La Liga standings. After all, the league is still long, so of course their position will also not settle, because bad and good results will certainly occur and they still cannot maintain their position.

I cannot fully believe that Atletico Madrid can win the match against Las Palmas easily, but I admit that Atletico Madrid is the favorite in this match. Las Palmas are playing at home, even if they are underdogs but there is a possibility that they can make Atletico Madrid fail by strengthening their defense and counter-attacking. This is not something impossible, especially because so far Las Palmas' defense is relatively strong compared to Girona, Barcelona or many other teams.

If Atletico Madrid wins, of course they will lead the standings. Girona, who will also play on the same day, could take top spot from Atletico Madrid because of the difference in points, but Girona was not very convincing when they visited Osasuna. Girona's performance was very good, but their probability of beating Osasuna is still in doubt especially because it is an away game.

Girona are level on points with Real Madrid, as are Atletico Madrid if they win their postponed match.

Real Madrid must be to keep work hard until the end if they want to secure the title, but their journey will be very difficult if they not recruit a good striker in the winter transfer window.

I think they should try hard to bring Mbappe to the team during the January transfer period. Without Bellingham's extra performance, Real Madrid would not be at the top of the league. Even though Joselu is a striker, he is still below expectations, scoring 5 goals in 11 matches. I think this vicious circle will end with Mbappe.

[Alpha Marine]

I'm one of those who feels that Barcelona has got this. They have lost the El Classico but that is not tje end of the Spanish Campaign.
They should just see important players part of the squad returning.

I believe Barcelona lost that classico because of the players they have injured and secondly, because they couldn't make use of their chances. It's common knowledge that when you play a team like Madrid you have to make use of your opportunities. Barcelona did not and they got hurt.
I've been following the Spanish league long enough to know that it is not always the club at the top that wins it. Madrid was at the top of the league by this time last season and they didn't win it.

My doubt about Madrid is their goal scorer. Bellingham won't be able to score goals for Madrid all season long. Their wingers, Vinicius and Rodrygo have to wake up if they want to win the league. Time will come when the season is tough and they'll have big and important games after the other, they need more people to step up.

As for Barcelona, their injured players are returning and if they don't get injured again we might see Barcelona end the year without dropping any more points in the league. They've done it before.
A fit Frenkie, Pedri, Kounde, Lewandoski, and Raphinha is a lot of reinforcement. Just like last season and the season before that, I feel injuries are the only things that can ruin their season.

Even though Joselu is a striker, he is still below expectations, scoring 5 goals in 11 matches. I think this vicious circle will end with Mbappe.

Adding Kylian Mbappe to the current lineup is going to propel Real Madrid to an unprecedented level of excellence. Kylian Mbappe has been on Los Blancos' radar for an extended period of time, and they're not giving up, determined to bring him to Santiago Bernabéu in the coming season. Carlo Ancelotti feels encouraged with his team's current statistics, but he is confident that Real Madrid will continue to produce outstanding accomplishments. Though there are presence of other good players that are available to enchance and elevate the team's performance.

Yes, I agree with you. Real Madrid position is still not safe, the points gap is really close. Even, Barcelona might be able to return to consistency because currently Lewandoski is available, only De Jong their main player is still not available. Also, there are still many matches ahead, there are still opportunities for Atletico and Barcelona. Real Madrid must be to keep work hard until the end if they want to secure the title, but their journey will be very difficult if they not recruit a good striker in the winter transfer window.

La Liga has just presented 11 matches, meaning there are still 27 matches in the future that each team participating in this league must play. Barca, only 4 points away from Real Madrid. considering that the remaining matches are still very long, as you said. only winning 4 points, does not make Madrid safe in its current position.
Let's flashback to last season, Barcelona was several points away from Real Madrid at the top of the standings. however, as the competition progressed match after match, Barca managed to catch up and at the same time shift the top of the standings. which means, to reach the end of this competition by winning a trophy, Real Madrid must play their matches consistently. But don't be surprised if Madrid has the potential to experience minor results or another defeat. because it is very natural for a team to experience ups and downs in performance, due to various factors.

No exception, so is Barcelona. Xavi Hernandez's squad could have difficulty recovering after falling to Real Madrid. In fact, it is possible that such things could happen. Moreover, De Jong has not yet stated when he will rejoin his core Barcelona squad. What is certain is that we will just follow every match that this competition presents.
In fact, now Diego Simeone's squad is starting to approach those in 3rd place, they are only 3 points behind Real Madrid. plus, ATM has one game delay. Well, isn't this getting interesting?

[lalabotax]

Even though Atletico won against Las Palmas and then Atletico were at the top of the standings, but Atletico would return to position 3. Because after all, Real Madrid and Girona also still have a good chance of winning in the next match or in this weekend's match. So yes, it doesn't matter even though Atletico won against Las Palmas, because in reality Atletico still cannot maintain the top position in the La Liga standings. After all, the league is still long, so of course their position will also not settle, because bad and good results will certainly occur and they still cannot maintain their position.

One of the differences between the two is that Atletico Madrid still has 1 match against Sevilla at the end of December. Both of them will definitely fight as optimally as possible. And of course it won't be easy for Atletico Madrid against Sevil in the future.

Regarding recent conditions, it's a shame that Atletico Madrid are playing quite significantly. And of course, they will be the winners between Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid. Las Palmas is a newcomer and Atletico Madrid may not be completely sure about their strategy and style of play. So this will still be interesting, plus according to predictions, Las Palmas may not be too difficult to beat.

[Furious 7]

Even though the points in the top 4 are very close, I think this point will open in the coming weeks and the teams that will open the points above will be Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid were not bad last season, but they are great this season. Griezzman and Morata are very dangerous up front, we are talking about a duo with extreme goal-scoring potential.

This excellent front line has given Atletico Madrid many wins this season and there is even the possibility of winning again in the next match against Las Palmas. I think this season Atletico Madrid will be more dangerous than last season so Atletico Madrid needs to be taken into account as a champion candidate because after the match with Las Palmas everything will be visible and it is even possible that Atletico Madrid will get the top position in La Liga in the near future.

In terms of the quality of players and current performance it is still possible that Atletico can win easily in this match but the problem is about how they can change their current status in the standings because after all the difference of 3 points from Girona and Madrid because for now it is still difficult to approach especially this week also Girona and Madrid are still very superior and even the possibility of bringing 3 points is very possible in this 11th week.
 But it is much better than they have to be left behind more and I agree with what you say that this season Ateltico has become different and they could have competed in the race for the title if the performance they gave did not slacken in the middle of the season because for the end of the season they can always overcome well.

La Liga games are interesting to watch. Looking at the prior history of both teams' matches, Atletico Madrid dominated via high scores, while Las Palmas only managed to win with fewer. We are not predicting the game based on these historical data because this is football and records are broken and new records are produced on a daily basis. Los Colchoneros manager, Diego Simeone, club is third and he's enthusiastic on advancing to advanced positions on the table, encounter with Las Palmas wouldn't be a difficult work for Atletico Madrid to achieve, they will triumph without stress over the hosts.

Atletico Madrid is very superior in the match against Las Palmas because Atletico Madrid has quite good quality in the last 5 matches. In general, Las Palmas will have difficulties in this match because the opponent they face is not a team that they can easily beat. I think Atletico Madrid's opportunity to lead the standings is wide open if they are able to win this match.

Apart from that, Real Madrid will face Rayo in this week's match where Real Madrid has a pretty good chance of maintaining their ranking as leaders if they manage to beat Rayo at the Bernabeu stadium. For Girona they will continue to maintain their best performance this week where they will visit the El Sadar stadium to face Osasuna. Well, it could be that several teams will swap places again if one of them fails to get full points in this week's match.

You're right, I feel after the EPL games the most interesting games to me is the La Liga games and they've got two best clubs with good history in both domestic and major league tournaments,well against Las Palmas vs Atletico Madrid I think Atletico are going to win the game, even the bookies favours them more and they're currently performing better than Las Palmas that are currently in the 10th place on the standings, while Atletico are in 3rd position.

 Asides that Atletico has won their previous 5 Laliga matches this season and if you check the head to head game of both teams you'll see that in their previous 5 meetings Atletico Madrid had been dominate, they won 4 games while Las Palmas won only 1 game, I don't think Las Palmas would be able to stop Atletico from winning the game even though they got a home advantage.

There are no worries about how Atletico Madrid finishes away from home tomorrow. I think they are safe to expect to win when their performance is very good. Atletico Madrid is unbeaten in 9 matches in two different competitions since beating Valencia in La Liga. They have 6 games with wins in La Liga so far including a win against Alaves a few days ago, so a win against Las Palmas is not in doubt.

The match could be difficult for Atletico Madrid if Las Palmas really defends completely instead of playing openly. Las Palmas can also play well with a defensive style, but Atletico Madrid's goal statistics are currently increasing so it is unlikely that it will be too difficult to score against Las Palmas. We never know what happened, but chances are that Atletico Madrid could have won the match without much problem.

[Rengga Jati]

Yes, it is true that Bellingham is Real Madrid's most successful purchase this season. However he has done so far, at such a young age, it is already extraordinary. ......

Jude Bellingham is a gift from God to Real Madrid. No one believes it's true! Before the season started, I thought this season they would struggle with young players when key striker Benzema suddenly left. Bellingham can immediately shine and become a pillar of Real Madrid. Who would have thought he would become so prominent so quickly?

Surely many of us or even Real Madrid themselves would not have thought that Bellingham could be this optimal and this contributory in short time. As a young and new player at Real Madrid, it can be said that he is a very expensive purchase, but Real Madrid believes that he can really shine. Initially I also believed in this, but what makes me a little surprised is that his shining achievements can be this fast. . It didn't take long for him to shine, to be able to win the fans' hearts, and to be able to make an optimal contribution to the club. And what's more, the squad at Real Madrid also believes in him, their focus and support for Bellingham is quite high. So he can truly optimize his abilities. It cannot be denied that the teamwork at Real Madrid has so far been very compact and solid. And this is something that is very important and has a big influence on a football team.
