La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[AakZaki]

~snip~

In Real Madrid, with this transition phase between old and young players, Ancelotti is very fitted with this task and at his age, he can continue this job for a few years that is enough to help Real Madrid achieves success in their rebuilding process.

Anceloti has decided that he is only up to this season. He will become Brazil coach after the summer. But I agree, he is currently still working to the maximum. He made a good transfer. Anceloti prioritizes buying talented young players who are ready for the long term. He has started the regeneration of the current players. Anceloti started well, he didn't sell old players right away. Anceloti is selling gradually and it's a good move to keep the team in stability.

I think they will not be able to hold on to the race long enough to compete with Real Madrid. Of course, I remember that there was a season in the past when Real Sociedad was about to win La Liga, but I honestly do not know if I will watch a similar performance from Girona this year. Everything has gone great so far, but we need to investigate how things can get better from now on. I admit Girona is a good team, but Real and Barça are great teams.

So far I have only seen three really good teams in La Liga, namely Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Barcelona doesn't seem to be any better than last season because currently Barcelona has to sit in the top four after competing 14 times in La Liga. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid has managed to place itself in third place in the standings even though it has not yet played its 14th match this season. This means that Barcelona is no better than Atletico Madrid, especially comparing it with Girona and Real Madrid, it is clear that Barcelona has been quite behind all this time.

The fight between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is really good. This race between the two teams increases the enjoyment of the league. Although Barcelona is currently behind, it can reach slightly better levels after injuries. They are currently trying to integrate players from the academy into the team. It seems to me like Barcelona is trying to build its squad 2-3 years later.

The difficulties against Rayo continue, even if Gavi is not injured they will still struggle.  The Barcelona vs Rayo match depicted an uncreative midfield. Losing Gavi makes it even more difficult for Xavi to find a balanced replacement. De Jong has not been able to perform optimally, he looks still a little stiff. The attackers not getting good passes also make them look bad. The best striker in this moment is Yamal, he can open up space with his dribbling ability. So he should have been able to score a goal, but Barcelona was unlucky.

Look at the teams Rayo faced in the last 3 matches. Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona. They faced three teams competing at the top of the league in a row. They only lost against Girona and drew against the other 2 teams, which I guess no one would have expected. That's why Rayo is not an easy team at all. They are a team that got a draw from Barcelona and Real Madrid. They may be better this year. Barcelona's injuries will be very annoying, especially in these weeks when they lose points. There is also an important tournament like the Champions League. They should make extra efforts to heal the injured.

Yep, things like this are unpredictable but with them facing a big club and facing Girona who are in a very good situation this season makes them realize that defense is important and they don't mess around with it.
Facing all of them at once in the last 3 weeks has left them with only 1 point to focus on and a total defensive scheme that has made them used to sporadic attacks and the results have been satisfying for them although this hasn't gone down well with my betting as I always back the favorites when 3 clubs (Madrid, Girona and Barcelona) play them.

However, such surprises are not matched by their performance in other games although they are still very good but Rayo's progress is not growing because in recent seasons they have always been in the middle of the table although that has also been one of the positives for a club like Rayo.

Rayo was a mid-table team in the previous season and this season Rayo also sits in the middle of the standings table. Indeed, Rayo often gives difficulties to their opposing teams and this happened this season where the opponents they have faced previously failed to achieve maximum results, such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. Statistically, in the matches played by Rayo, we see that they often end the match by achieving more draws than wins. So in other words, Barcelona was a little lucky to get a draw in that match because if there was no own goal then Barcelona could have lost points in that match.

Apart from that, in today match, Girona also got a draw when they faced Bilbao, so for now Girona failed to return to the top of the standings because they lost in goal productivity to Real Madrid. Apart from that, for the top 4, Real Madrid and Girona have collected the same points and behind that, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have also collected the same points. Next week we will see an even more intense feud taking place at the top of the rankings and it will certainly be quite interesting to follow.

This means that Barcelona is no better than Atletico Madrid, especially comparing it with Girona and Real Madrid, it is clear that Barcelona has been quite behind all this time.

Exactly Girona and Real Madrid are performing well with Athletico Madrid, and I believe one of them can win the La Liga trophy because Barcelona is not in good form this season, and I do not believe they will win the league; instead, they should concentrate on the Champions League because I do not believe Real Madrid will lose a match now, and I believe Real Madrid will win the trophy. Ancelotti wants to win another title before leaving the club, and I see the work the coach is putting in on the players who are doing admirably.

Xavi needs to get some players to replace some of the club's weak players, because if Xavi does not buy players in the following transfers windows the club will suffer. I don't think Barcelona will qualify for the Champions League next season if they didn't improve because they still have tough games to play in the league and they are playing draw with some small team, which is only in week 14,  Lewandowski has lost form this season but I'm not sure if it's just me that abserve that because if you compare his performances last season and this season, he can't even score many goals in the league.

However, Barcelona was lucky not to lose this match because they couldn't score a goal and luck came when an own goal occurred and the score became 1-1.

Well, at least, they still owned 1 point from the match. Well, although that was not the best result, at least, they were drawn, not lost.
Hopefully, Barcelona's performance can return soon, so that the match can be quite interesting again. Moreover, they also have to compete in the UCL where the conditions will definitely be even more difficult for them.

The La liga title race this season is between Real Madrid, Barcelona, Girona and Atletico Madrid; Which team are you betting on ??

I will definitely hold Real Madrid as La Liga champion. It's indeed too early, but I'm a Real Madrid fan, so I would hope so. Currently, Real Madrid is at the top of the standings again after Girona experienced a draw with Athletic Club. So this provides an advantage for Real Madrid. However, it cannot be denied that I am actually also interested to see how far Girona can stay in that position and compete with the previous top clubs in La Liga.

[KTChampions]

Hehe, here are the title quotes from bookmakers at the moment:

Real Madrid 1.50

Barcelona Fc 3.75

Atlético Madrid 9.00

Girona 17.00

As I predicted earlier, Barcelona is already rated above 3 and it is unlikely that the situation for it will change for the better in the near future.
But what about Atlético's quotes!?  Why are they lower than Barcelona and so much so? Regarding Girona, I have no questions; everything is obvious.

[Leviathan.007]

So he should have been able to score a goal, but Barcelona was unlucky.

Today Gavi had an important day and this player finally had surgery. In the game between Georgia and Spain, Gavi got injured hard and this player is going to be absent for a long time and it seems Gavi can't play for ten months or even more.
Today he is going to have a surgery and after that Gavi should just take a rest to hope to get back to a good situation.

Look at the teams Rayo faced in the last 3 matches. Real Madrid, Girona and Barcelona. They faced three teams competing at the top of the league in a row. They only lost against Girona and drew against the other 2 teams, which I guess no one would have expected. That's why Rayo is not an easy team at all. They are a team that got a draw from Barcelona and Real Madrid. They may be better this year. Barcelona's injuries will be very annoying, especially in these weeks when they lose points. There is also an important tournament like the Champions League. They should make extra efforts to heal the injured.

Rayo Vallecano is in a nightmare because they have to face a big team, as you mentioned before, but I'm sure Rayo Vallecano has tried hard to maintain its position. The injuries experienced by Barcelona are something that usually happens when competing on the field. I am sure Barcelona has prepared other replacement strategies to be able to continue competing on the field.

[liuka]

Girona is slowly returning to underperformance. Even though they took the lead in the Athletic match, they could not maintain their lead. They are currently considered to share the leadership with Real Madrid, but Real is in the leadership seat with the advantage in goal difference. I honestly don't know how long Girona will stay in the race.

Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga and winning it have become an ultimate priority for Los Blancos this season. They will play their very best to suit into the picture. A detrimental squad cannot defeat an outstanding team in La Liga; I have not seen a random club defeat Real Madrid in a long time. They can only be at the top for a short time, as seen by the club's overall deterioration in performance. Girona's poor performance in league games has begun displaying concerns. They're experiencing difficulties with games and are reconnecting with their previous game.

That's how Real Madrid is, they won't stay silent, their place could be occupied longer by another team and maybe only Barcelona will be able to make things difficult for them. But Barcelona is also in a slump and they are 4 points behind Real Madrid. Girona is not a threat if they are unable to maintain the performance they have built and perhaps it would be more appropriate for them to finish in the top 4 rather than being in title contention.

The power in Laliga only belongs to Real Madrid and Barcelona and other teams will not be able to do much when the competition ends. Girona is starting to find a loss in their consistency in maintaining their ranking in the standings table because their failure to get full points in today's match made them give up the top of the standings to be led by Real Madrid. This season, Barcelona or Real Madrid are stronger than other teams because these two teams stand out more in terms of their highly qualified players.

To win the title, of course Girona is not in their target because they only target finishing in the top 4, but they have the opportunity to do it. However, after we see their performance, I'm not too sure Girona can do it. Girona will easily lose their balance which could mean that Barcelona will be able to take over second place in the upcoming matches.

They only lost against Girona and drew against the other 2 teams, which I guess no one would have expected. That's why Rayo is not an easy team at all.

The injuries experienced by Barcelona are something that usually happens when competing on the field. I am sure Barcelona has prepared other replacement strategies to be able to continue competing on the field.

Barcelona has been more careful when making transfers in recent years and they avoid excessive expenses. Despite this, I think they are having very successful seasons. They didn't get what they wanted this year, they still have poor performance, but of course the biggest impact on this is injuries. While Real Madrid was able to handle this impact very well with injured players, Barcelona was hit hard by this. Rayo is lucky because they gained one point from both Real and Barcelona.

[Ndabagi01]

I think they will not be able to hold on to the race long enough to compete with Real Madrid. Of course, I remember that there was a season in the past when Real Sociedad was about to win La Liga, but I honestly do not know if I will watch a similar performance from Girona this year. Everything has gone great so far, but we need to investigate how things can get better from now on. I admit Girona is a good team, but Real and Barça are great teams.

So far I have only seen three really good teams in La Liga, namely Real Madrid, Girona and Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Barcelona doesn't seem to be any better than last season because currently Barcelona has to sit in the top four after competing 14 times in La Liga. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid has managed to place itself in third place in the standings even though it has not yet played its 14th match this season. This means that Barcelona is no better than Atletico Madrid, especially comparing it with Girona and Real Madrid, it is clear that Barcelona has been quite behind all this time.

Barcelona's current position is not only encouraging; they need to work harder to improve their position in the standings. They are currently fourth in the table, trailing Real Madrid, Girona, and Atletico Madrid. If they are doing well right now, their performance should speak for itself. Barcelona will struggle to progress unless they adjust and improve their style of play. We know that due to injury, they are missing some potential players. However, they can still outperform their current team performance.

[Slow death]

Girona have one advantage over the other standings leaders. They don't have to play in other European Cups. Therefore, it is not yet possible to say that Real Madrid or Barcelona will be able to gain more points.

Even though what you say is also true, in reality Real Madrid can immediately take the lead because Girona got a draw at home against Athletic Club. And Real Madrid can still condition itself in La Liga even though Real Madrid is also playing in other competitions in Europe this season, while Girona must do their best to be able to match themselves with Real Madrid, which has several star players. And for Barcelona maybe the team will be worse this season and even Girona can say they are better than Barcelona, but will not be better than Real Madrid this season.

This season has been very surprising for Madrid fans especially, usually they have seen the battle in the last few seasons between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but this season is very different, in fact Barcelona is only watching Real Madrid and Girona fight for the top of La Liga, this really doesn't make sense to me.  and of course supporters of their rivals Barcelona, ​​Girona's draw meant they had to drop from the top of the standings but Real Madrid won over Cadiz 0-3, of course this was a very clever scenario from Ancelotti in terms of choosing the right players from several of his star players who were injured.  , this season is really very tight, Real Madrid and Girona both have 35 points.

Girona is slowly returning to underperformance. Even though they took the lead in the Athletic match, they could not maintain their lead. They are currently considered to share the leadership with Real Madrid, but Real is in the leadership seat with the advantage in goal difference. I honestly don't know how long Girona will stay in the race.

I was also wondering how long they would be able to stay at the top, so far they were doing very well in each game, but in this last game they couldn't win, although they didn't lose either, so it could be that this is just exhaustion or Even an unfortunate event is that in the next game they manage to return to their victories and in their next game it will be against Valencia who are not a very strong team and after that game they will play against Barcelona who despite being a strong team, they are a very unstable team so I see that it will be a game that will end in a draw

while real madrid will have lighter games, so in my opinion I see real madrid distancing themselves a lot from girona and barcelona and with that we will already be seeing real madrid as champions long before the league ends, I don't see barcelona being a big threat for real madrid this season, this is because unlike last season when barcelona was seen as a team with good defense and it was their good defense that allowed them to be champions, but looking at this season I see barcelona with weakness in defense and they will hardly be champions

Anceloti has decided that he is only up to this season. He will become Brazil coach after the summer. But I agree, he is currently still working to the maximum. He made a good transfer. Anceloti prioritizes buying talented young players who are ready for the long term. He has started the regeneration of the current players. Anceloti started well, he didn't sell old players right away. Anceloti is selling gradually and it's a good move to keep the team in stability.

Yes, I heard the news that Ancelotti will leave Real Madrid after this season ends. So, Real Madrid should be prepare to hire a new coach for the next season. I already heard the rumors about some candidates for the next coach but I only assume that Zidane is the best option for the next coach. If Zidane becomes the coach, it will be a special attraction for Real Madrid. I believe it will raise the chance to sign Mbappe or even other top players like Haaland or Osimhen. Every player expects to work together with Zidane because Zidane is a special coach who wins UCL trophies.

It is true that Ancelotti already started the regeneration of Real Madrid squad. There are many young players in Real Madrid squad now. If they sign new striker and more young defenders, the regeneration will be complete.

Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga and UEFA Champions League in the past decades. They have everything to boosts their performance and excelle t players. Followed by a spectacular coach, Carlo Ancelotti knows how important and capacitance in Real Madrid, leaving the club will only shake the club for temporary moments but they when do one starts to believe in the old man, he's a genius and have deliver the club in years. Ofcourse Carlo Ancelotti can leave, he fixed the club to the glorious shape they found themselves in the current state.

Barcelona will struggle to progress unless they adjust and improve their style of play. We know that due to injury, they are missing some potential players. However, they can still outperform their current team performance.

Their current performance is not quite the hype, doing epic comebacks and sharing points with mediocre teams is absolutely not a solid path to win games this season. Barcelona are inconsistent, that's the exact reason they're declining in position on the table. I've watch and observe the open weakness of the club. Xavi Hernandez really need to something if he still wants to maintain good level of football. Barcelona have to put in more strength for the purpose to exhibits signs of improvement and ready to enter the competitive race for the La Liga crown this season.

Ancelotti made great contributions to the club. Therefore, if the current Real Madrid can still benefit from players such as Vinicius, Endrick, Arda, Paz, Bellingham even after a few years, this will be the work of Ancelotti's scouting team and him. I'm sure Ancelotti will be proud of whichever team he coaches, watching them. I hope we can watch him again at the helm of Real Madrid. He is a coach that I enjoy very much. I like his reading of the play.

Xavi rotates too much in La Liga so it is very difficult for Barcelona to maintain its performance. The draw he achieved when he visited Rayo Vallecano headquarters might not have happened if he fielded a full team line-up. The epic comeback that Barcelona just made in the UCL proves how solid the game shown by this senior player is.

Kounde and Araujo are a strong defensive wall for Barcelona, Xavi must always pair them in the back position to make the defensive area stronger. Xavi Hernandez needs to maintain Barcelona's form as shown in beating Porto if he wants to stay in contention for the title. Statistically, Porto is stronger than Rayo Vallecano, they managed to finish the match with a win, whereas when they faced Rayo they were only able to get one point.

What a game! Finally, the starting lineup fans have been asking for. Xavi usually slows things down by subbing out good players, and I don't like it. His favoritism for certain players is a bit much. But Barcelona should stick to starting with a strong squad. If these guys keep up this determination, they might just be on their way to winning the trophy.
Nerves got the better of them, but this is the kind of game that can boost their spirits. Porto is definitely a better team than Rayo Vallecano. Because Barcelona played like a well-organized team, they managed to win today's match. This is good signs for the team!

Ofcourse Carlo Ancelotti can leave, he fixed the club to the glorious shape they found themselves in the current state.

But before leaving, he definitely wants to make quite beautiful memories and history at Real Madrid. If Real Madrid succeeds in winning the title in Laliga and the Champions League then it will be a sweet historical record for Ancelotti as Ancelotti's final gift to Real Madrid. And currently Real Madrid is in a position where it is very possible to win the title again this season in Laliga. But for the Champions League I'm still not sure. But I hope Real Madrid will be able to reach the final in the UCL this season. Perhaps the toughest opponents in the UCL at the moment are Bayern and Man City. And I hope that Real Madrid will not face these two clubs directly in the last 16 stage.

However, today Real Madrid will also have a difficult match in the UCL, namely against Napoli. Even though Real Madrid has certainly qualified from the UCL group stage. But I think it would be great if Real Madrid could also win this match.
