La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[wmaurik]

The match between Real Madrid and Vallecano caused big surprises. Those who expected Real to score a lot of goals against Rayo were wrong and neither team managed to score a goal in the match. Maybe Ancelotti didn't want to take too much risk for the UCL game. As a result, they lost 2 points and this took them out of the league leadership.

Being knocked out of league leadership due to a draw with Rayo Vallecano is not that big of a problem for a team like Real Madrid, because they still have plenty of time to catch Girona who is currently at the top of the standings. But for tomorrow's match in the UCL, I think Ancelotti will take the match quite seriously even though the opponent is SC Braga. Because this season Real Madrid will continue to focus on two big competitions apart from the Super Cup.

Athletic Bilbao managed to come out of a tough Villareal away with a win. The away team started the match fast and scored 3 goals in the first half to take the lead. Although Villareal actually had a good squad, they couldn't find their form. While the match ended 3-2 with Bilbao's superiority, Villareal scored 2 goals in the last 6 minutes.
Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano ended in a goalless draw. Both teams struggled to find goals despite being in form in the last few weeks. Real Madrid played dominant at home, but wasted a lot of chances.

Rayo Vallecano are not the weakest club in La Liga right now... They have good statistics of away games, five of which they have not lost... And of course the Champions League also influenced this result... Madrid did not take any risks before the game with Braga, where they should be guaranteed three points...

Real Madrid was able to be held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano. So next week it will be Girona's turn to face Rayo Vallecano. I think we will all be very curious about the results of next week's match. Will Girona have the same fate as Real Madrid or will Girona be able to beat Rayo Vallecano quite well. I can't wait for next week's match.

I think the strategies used by Madrid and Girona will certainly be very different, while Rayo will also change their strategy when facing different clubs depending on the strength of the club they are playing against, after all we cannot match the previous result when Rayo managed to hold Madrid to a draw. while we will never know whether Rayo will use the same strategy against Madrid to face Girona this week.

Madrid need to maintain the stamina and performance of their players for the UCL match, that's why of course they won't play the full game so in the previous match their focus was divided so it was difficult to score goals against Rayo, Girona doesn't have a busy schedule so they can focus more on Laliga, of course Against Rayo later, even though playing as a guest, I'm sure Girona will be able to win the match with a narrow score.

After undergoing an examination, Jude Bellingham was reported to have suffered a dislocated shoulder and he is doubtful for tomorrow's match against Braga in the Champions League competition. Jude Bellingham suffered a shoulder injury during the match against Rayo Vallecano last week and this was an injury he suffered himself after taking the wrong focus when receiving the ball from his partner. Maybe this is a bit detrimental for Real Madrid because this key player suffered an injury at the wrong time and Ancelotti has to look for other ways to strengthen his attack line in the match against Braga later.

There is a lot of speculation circulating and it is possible that Ancelotti will return to using a 4-4-3 formation with the attack axis filled by Vini, Joselu and Rodrygo. However, it seems that this formation is quite doubtful because we know Ancelotti has not had this formation since the start of the season and he has been used to a 4-4-2 diamond since the arrival of Jude Bellingham. On the other hand, this week Real Madrid will play a match against Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu and it is hoped that Jude Bellingham will recover quickly before the match arrives.

Can't score against Rayo Vallecano. Bellingham did not play well in this match but he also faced injuries. Bellingham is the most important player in Madrid's squad at the moment. Without Bellingham, Madrid's attacking performance is quite weak. Although Bellingham is not a striker. However, Bellingham will not be with the squad for the match against Braga. I look forward to seeing how Madrid fares without Bellingham. Ancelotti will definitely have to come up with a different match strategy if they are to win against Braga without Bellingham. Vini and Rodrygo's performances are also quite weak.

Madrid actually has to make good use of this match, and the reason for not wanting to take risks seems to be just to avoid being seen as playing badly. Even though I support Madrid, against Rayo one decisive goal should have been enough, but that didn't happen at all and gave Getafe the opportunity to return to the top of the standings. Ancelotti should start to worry that if he doesn't bring in Mbappe in the transfer market next season, his rivals in La Liga like Barcelona will gradually get more freedom. and in the UCL my biggest worry is that Madrid will not qualify for the quarter-finals with the current composition of players. Relying on Bellingham alone is not enough to maximize their performance in every match. It was proven that when the front line and midfield movements were closely guarded, Rayo was able to prevent Madrid from scoring a single goal.

You are right that perhaps one of the reasons Real Madrid could not play better in the match against Rayo Vallecano was because their focus was also divided with preparations for the match in the UCL. I think even their main focus is to keep their players safe and avoid injury. But actually, despite this, Real Madrid really created a lot of opportunities in this match.

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano might be a little different from the Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano match. In the Madrid vs Rayo match, we saw Real Madrid dominate the match continuously. Even Rayo didn't have much chance to make a counterattack. Well, I think in the match against Girona, maybe Rayo won't have so much difficulty countering the attacks. So the match will probably be fiercer than yesterday's match against Real Madrid. Madrid's strength is actually much better than Rayo's. And that's very obvious. Only Real Madrid's finishing was not good. I also think that Girona can win by a narrow score.

Jude Bellingham have proven to be worthy of the significant figures spent on him by Los Blancos in transfer summer. I've keep a close watch on the new player and he has adapted so good to the team's pattern and have also made massive improvements in league games. Unfortunately Real Madrid got hits by bad news, Bellingham sustained an injury regarding the dislocation on his left shoulder which there exists doubts of him missing out on UEFA Champions League game but it's too important for him to be present. Carlo Ancelotti will amend his strategy and make things fall better for his club.

Unfortunately, Real couldn't win yesterday and now Girona is the sole leader  I’m happy for them, but still, Real Madrid lacks a top striker and this annoys me - they are one step away from ideal and this is even more offensive than if “everything was bad” for them. I don’t think that the balance of power in La Liga has changed in any way because of this draw, but I have become even more confident that Bayern and City are favorites in the Champions League relative to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid was unable to win their game against Rayo Vallecano last weekend while league leaders defeated Osasuna by 4 goals to two on Saturday which now gives Girona a two point gap ahead of Real Madrid in the Spanish La Liga standings.
Like you rightly pointed out, I think Real Madrid's failure to sign a replacement for Karim Benzema last summer is somehow affecting the squad and that's in a day Jude Bellingham who's been the club's top scorer this season couldn't score, there was no one else to score for Los Blancos. Real Madrid though did not win their game last weekend, but I think they're still my favorites to win the Spanish La Liga title this season

In fact, I’m not worried about La Liga at all, since against the backdrop of Barcelona’s problems, Real should win it without any problems (in principle, everything is going that way now), but the main goals of the season for Real are the Champions League. And here it’s difficult to expect victory with such a big hole (with all due respect to Real Madrid’s strikers) in one of the most important positions. And I'm not even talking about games with favorites - it will be difficult to beat even average teams.

I do agree that it was a shocking result and everyone was shocked to see them not have a win there. They were capable of beating everyone and everyone thought that they could end up getting more and more win, and yet they ended up failing. It's definitely a shocker without a doubt, nobody saw that coming, but also at the same time teams do end up with a loss here and there sometimes, I think that's an important thing.

I believe that we can't really end up with anything different on the long run, we need to accept the fact that even the best teams do end up with a loss time to time and could end up with these type of draws. It's just how football is, and could be a little bit different one way or another.

I myself also thought Real Madrid could win yesterday's match against Rayo, Judging from Rayo's current ranking which is far below Real Madrid, I wonder why Real Madrid could not win against Rayo. By being known as a strong team but from losing 2 points it makes Real Madrid drop from its first rank, this is not a good thing but it is a reality like this there will definitely be wins and losses.

In addition to the news that the injury of their midfielder Bellingham, who has a big impact on Real Madrid, will now be absent due to injury, this may make it difficult for Real Madrid for the next matches. Real Madrid should immediately look for other players who play as midfielders as well to replace Bellingham's position which of course they cannot continue to depend on Bellingham.

Real Madrid attacked a lot but could not find any success. In particular, Real Madrid shot 22 total balls towards the goal post and Rayo shot 4 balls. In particular, I think Real Madrid have had this problem due to the absence of experienced strikers. And Real Madrid had the ball for most of the game but could not capitalize on it. And it was Real Madrid's failure to find scoring opportunities despite repeated corner kicks.

Girona really surprised us, they become a strong team this season. They beat Osasuna and scored 4 goals, it makes Girona to lead the La Liga standings. Real Madrid failed to win the match against Rayo Vallecano, so Girona is safe in the first place temporarily. Although we don't know whether Girona to end this season in the 1st place, but it is a new record that Girona can lead the table temporarily now.

Girona's performance this season has been surprising, no one even thought they would be this good. Real Madrid, who were previously held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano, had to resign themselves to dropping to second place. Girona is 2 points ahead of Real Madrid, while Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also have the same points difference in their respective rankings. Each team has a difference of 2 points, but the competition will certainly be very tight after this.

I don't think Girona can maintain their form until the end of the season, but anything can happen like Leicester winning the Premier League title a few seasons ago. Girona has a chance, but other teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are a big challenge for them.

Girona feels like it's living a dream right now. Leicester won the Premier League title, why shouldn't something similar happen in La Liga? Girona is an important team and if they win the championship, there is a possibility that we will see important players of the team in important teams in Europe next year. Even this possible outcome is enough to motivate the players.

Girona owned by the same owned of manchester city. It is beyond question that if Girona were to continue their impressive performance, they would emerge as the leaders of the La Liga this season. City football group is also owning manchester city too. We can hope girona to be developed even better like manchester city.
In the past, Girona was similar to Manchester City in terms of performance during the 2000s, but it seems that this club is now showing signs of improvement that could potentially surpass City's achievements. Through the guidance of top coaches, Girona has experienced a remarkable increase in strength compared to its previous state.

[QueenVera]

I think the strategies used by Madrid and Girona will certainly be very different, while Rayo will also change their strategy when facing different clubs depending on the strength of the club they are playing against, after all we cannot match the previous result when Rayo managed to hold Madrid to a draw. while we will never know whether Rayo will use the same strategy against Madrid to face Girona this week.

Madrid need to maintain the stamina and performance of their players for the UCL match, that's why of course they won't play the full game so in the previous match their focus was divided so it was difficult to score goals against Rayo, Girona doesn't have a busy schedule so they can focus more on Laliga, of course Against Rayo later, even though playing as a guest, I'm sure Girona will be able to win the match with a narrow score.

For the draw to Rayo Vallecano, we could easily place our bet on the UCL being one of the cause for Real Madrid dropping points in the La Liga over the weekend, next week this Rayo side would go into another match with Girona who sits pretty top the league’s table.

 I think Rayo won’t take this game so serious as they took that of Madrid, no offense but I think they’ll not necessarily underrate this Girona side but see them as a club of same position both financially and otherwise, Girona who are in good shape for that match would come into this match with the hope to keep setting the records straight to retain their top 4 spot, Girona would have lots of rest before this game and would play Rayo to a very nice match, I see Girona coming out the Victor in this encounter.

[AakZaki]

Finally I lost a pack of cigarettes with my friend Yes because of Madrid, I think they were able to win and get 3 points. Uniquely, Rayo has no shots on goal and Madrid has 5 shots on goal and 22 attempts. Rayo's spirit was able to make Madrid frustrated and failed to return to the top of the temporary ranking of number one.
This could be a concern for Anceloti, it seems Bellingham cannot always be the hero with his goals. But I love Rayo because they know how to get Bellingham to move freely. Unfortunately, Guller has not yet made his debut.

After undergoing an examination, Jude Bellingham was reported to have suffered a dislocated shoulder and he is doubtful for tomorrow's match against Braga in the Champions League competition. Jude Bellingham suffered a shoulder injury during the match against Rayo Vallecano last week and this was an injury he suffered himself after taking the wrong focus when receiving the ball from his partner.

Carlo Ancelotti will amend his strategy and make things fall better for his club.

Jude Bellingham is indeed a phenomenal figure, especially if it wasn't for him, Real Madrid might have lost several points and might not be in second place in the standings. Even now, Ancelotti is definitely very confused about the next option and remembers that there are players who are suitable to replace his role, such as Brahim Diaz or Arda Guler, but it seems that Ancelotti is still unsure about his choice.



Today Bellingham was actually still training with his teammates ahead of the match against Braga but he didn't finish the training session. In a press conference after training today, Ancelotti also said that the possibility of Jude Bellingham playing for Real Madrid against Braga is very small. I think Ancelotti should rest him and there is no need to take risks, after all currently they are at the top of the group so he can give playing minutes to other players.

Basically I believe Real Madrid can beat Rayo Vallecano easily, but the course of the match is very different. Real Madrid had difficulty penetrating Rayo Vallecano's defense which was probably well prepared, even Vinicius and Bellingham and many other players were very frustrated throughout the match. Madrid did score a goal in that match, but it was a shame that the goal was disallowed due to an offside.

Ancelotti seems to realize that it is not yet time for Arda Guller to get his debut against Rayo Vallecano, unless Real Madrid are already ahead and are more likely to win the match. Bellingham failed with a few minimal attempts, as did Valverde and the others. It wasn't a lucky day for Real Madrid, but it was a lucky day for all Rayo Vallecano players.

[uswa56]

Real Madrid attacked a lot but could not find any success. In particular, Real Madrid shot 22 total balls towards the goal post and Rayo shot 4 balls. In particular, I think Real Madrid have had this problem due to the absence of experienced strikers. And Real Madrid had the ball for most of the game but could not capitalize on it. And it was Real Madrid's failure to find scoring opportunities despite repeated corner kicks.

The same problem occurred from the start of this season, Ancelotti seemed to have no other choice in their front line, Vini and Rodrygo were not working optimally and it was clear that Real Madrid's front line was missing a striker who had good qualities like Benzema but they couldn't find a replacement so far.
In my opinion there is no other solution for Real Madrid other than bringing in a new striker.
What happened is clearly Ancelotti's fault, even though since the start of the season many people have criticized him about bringing in a striker to replace Benzem, but Anceloti still chuckles that his squad is capable, it's a shame what's happening now.

And because this makes Girona now comfortably at the top of the La Liga standings, this is truly a very strange sight to happen this season.

I think bringing a new striker is Madrid's main plan. but Madrid now adopt a philosophy; "signing player that's perfect fit to team or never". They are no longer signing just good talent or big big name. I think that's why madrid havent signed a new striker till now.

it's rumoured that madrid tried to sign Darwin Nunez, but their quota for non-EU players was full, so they couldnt sign him, and last summer they couldnt find a striker who fits to their system. I think Madrid are working on scouting strikers for their next signing, they know that no one will reject their offer because madrid are biggest club in the world.
