La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[sana54210]

In the beginning, I didn't watch La Liga that much but from the look of things, I have picked serious interest because of Girona, and if is the consistency they ain't that bad compared to Barca, and it is not easy but to some level, they still show sign of seriousness, and the athletic club tried that they played a draw game and all my thought was that athletic club will win but I was wrong and the game ended draw and athletic club equalized around 67 minutes Girona could no longer hold them and along the line, they were penetrated. and even from the shots on target, more pressure was shifting on Girona, Barcelona is good but this season they are not showing any dedication preferably real Madrid they are the one even topping the table currently and their plays are always different, and my prediction still stands for the winner is either real Madrid or Girona.

If they do create that type of attention then I would say Girona is not doing something great for just themselves but they are doing it for la liga as well. I mean right now Real and Barcelona are by far the best team in that league and that's normal, but Girona is having a good season so far, I fear that it is not going to last and they will start to lose points and they will drop in places soon enough.

However, it is still fine and I think even if they drop, the worst possible scenario feels like a fourth place for them, which would be champions league and a ton of money for them as well. It is quite great to see them do that well, and it would be helpful for them since they would be able to get that money and do wonders with it. I think it could help everyone at the same time for sure.

Both teams are in a situation that is not that easy to be dealt with for both of them. I think for Atletico it is a bit easier because expectations are not as high. They are still very high, there is no doubt about that. But for Barcelona it is either the title or nothing. A second place doesn't count much. This game could be quite explosive I believe as everyone knows what Atletico is able to do and what they are known for. Their game plan will be to destroy Barcelona's fluent game. That's when the tempers will heat up. This is one of the games that is worth watching.

The Barcelona vs Madrid match is always the most exciting match and there is a lot of emotion in this match. Of course, Atl Madrid is very clever at breaking the opponent's concentration by provoking the opponent, this has been part of Atl Madrid's strategy for a long time.

However, in several meetings with Atl Madrid, Barcelona always won even though they only won by a narrow score. But we can predict that even though Barcelona were held to a draw by Rayo last week, that doesn't mean they can't beat Atl Madrid, who are currently in a good trend. Because this second match is full of prestige, just like the match against Real Madrid. When Barcelona meets tough opponents, they always play with enthusiasm. So my prediction is that this match will be won by Barcelona with a score of 1-0.

Real Madrid's opponent is easier and they will play against Granada. In the same week, Barcelona will host Atletico Madrid. This match is one of the most difficult matches and will directly affect the teams with championship chances. The reason why I think there is a high probability of victory for Barcelona is that they will be playing at home. Their chances of beating Atletico Madrid at home are increasing.

Real Madrid may really find it easier because their opponent doesn't match them in strength and squad depth but then it's common amongst teams that appear weak to always put up a fierce resistance against teams likend to be bigger than they are and in some cases hold the to a draw.

I wouldn't want to underestimate Granada regardless of their form because they could possibly take us by surprise. Barcelona has had good performance at home this season regardless of their form, they still manage to put up a fighting spirit at home but then it's really going to be tough on them against atletico because they are in a relatively good form since I'm recent times, Barcelona is still the favour because they have got the he advantage regardless of their form.

La Liga is the home for elite strong teams, they don't easily give up and they always hope for the very best performance in matches. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are kind of relenting matches, they don't serve any solid evidence to bounce back to matches other than giving flimsy excuses in areas they failed to develop. Atletico Madrid headcoach, Diego Simeone have one of the best players in La Liga and he's competent on taking the club to another level. Xavi Hernandez will definitely look for a way to bounce back while Diego Simeone will take longer time to return to the competitive race.

I actually have more confidence in Diego Simeone to continue to keep Atletico Madrid in a fairly good competition than Barcelona's revival in the hands of Xavi Hernandez. Because we can see in the number of games between these two teams that currently Atletico Madrid is still superior to Barcelona and in the near future the two will also meet to be the best by getting full points through the match. However, I am still not sure that Barcelona will be able to recover in this match even though the match took place at Barcelona's home ground.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will compete as usual, they will compete until the end of the season. Both team have the same points, they collect 31 points now. But Atletico Madrid has 1 unplayed match, Atletico will get 3 additional points if they win the match. It is interesting because they will fight each other in the next match, this will be very important match. If Atletico Madrid wins the match, they have a chance to overtake Real Madrid and Girona because the point gap will be 1 only. So, the race for the title will be more interesting because there are 3 teams that have the same chance. But if Barcelona wins the match, there is no significant change in the La Liga standings.

Honestly, it is difficult to predict the result of the match. The match will be in Barcelona home, it means Barcelona players to have the advantage for the match. But if we analyze the current performance of both teams, Atletico Madrid looks better. However, it is a big match, it must be different from the previous matches. I'm sure Barcelona doesn't want to lose points at home.

I don't think it will be so easy for Barcelona to defeat Athletico Madrid because Barcelona is not in good form this season and I believe they will not win the La Liga trophy this time, Athletico Madrid is in good shape and I have more hope that they will try and defeat Barcelona like they did against Real Madrid because Athletico Madrid is good this season and they have experienced players and it will be very difficult for Barcelona strikers to break through their defense. because the coach knows how to defend well when leading an opponent with goals, because if Athletico Madrid scores first it will be very difficult for Barcelona to score back, I believe Athletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has the experience to defeat big clubs and that is the information he will use this weekend against Barcelona.

[Roseline492]

As a Barcelona supporter, I obviously pay more attention to my favorite team. In some of their matches, Barcelona struggled a bit and this could be a problem for them. So, Xavi must not underestimate his opposing team in this match. Well, as you said, a draw could potentially occur, especially if Xavi tries to implement another pattern. However, because this match still has a time lag and I haven't collected much of the latest information. I won't be in a rush to speculate between Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid. Let's just wait, before this match will be held. At least, we have a little idea regarding better predictions. so, let's wait.

I could remember in those days when Barcelona was the champion of all, when all the club use to be very scared of meeting them on a match because of there performance and they always win trophies every season but it was quite unfortunate that they have totally lost form by even finding it difficult to win even smaller teams that doesn't waste time for them in those days.

I even heard that they are having issues with finance which has been given them problem to buy new players to the team, is actually a big challenge for them because if they fail to do some amendment on there team, next season will also be tougher for them.

I think right now the Simeone team ATM is in a very good condition judging from their performance generally but that shouldn't make us to look down on the great work that has been done in the Barcelona team by them coach Xavi because the team is looking better compared to the way it was before the coach took charge as the heach coach of the team. I don't think ATM is superior to Barcelona right now even though they are in better shape right now and I think it will be decided when they two team play together in the league I believe the better team will be decided after the match but until then, I think we don't need to pick side now until the season is getting to an end.

Both the la liga and the premiere leagues are leagues that provide smaller teams the chance to progress and price themselves better and this is why a lot of times,  they have bigger clubs like Real Madrid seems to dominate the leagues,  but then also,  most of the time a lot of efforts are put in place that can limit the bigger clubs chances.

Clubs like Athletico Madrid will be putting up their best foot in the leagues and much more also how best they choose to handle the majority oppositions that may come their way at some point even though the group stage is seemly becoming tougher for them.

But any competition on the national level can be good for many different reasons, not least when it comes to hiring new talent. If you take Haaland as an example, one big reason for him to go to Manchester City instead of Real Madrid was because he wants to play in the best league there is in the world. Mbappe is quite the opposite who went for the money and accepted to play in a far worse league. What interests me the most will be the future results in the Champions League as I think La Liga is not as strong as it used to be five or ten years ago. I believe that more international titles will go to the Premier League in the next few years.

In Week 14, Almeria remained the only team that had not won this season and they were in difficult times because they were in the relegation zone with only collecting 3 points. They still haven't been able to recover and last week also suffered defeat against Getafe. I think it looks like Almeria will be relegated this season and it is quite impossible for them to leave the zone with a 7 point gap to Mallorca.

Moreover, this week they will face a quite strong team, namely Real Betis, so their chances of winning are also getting smaller. The three points that Almeria have so far have been obtained with a draw from 3 matches and this is very bad for them in the midst of more competitive competition.

Almeria is a team that is not just lucky about their games in the La Liga this season. If this continues for the next three matches, it can be concluded that this team will be relegated from the La Liga next season which is not a good one for them. They’ve not won any game since the beginning of the season and lost eleven matches with only three draws secured by them. This has placed them in the bottom of the table with only three points. Almeria needs to buckle up and improve themselves amongst other teams so that they can get to move out of the relegation zone.

I think the Lalliga gives small teams no room for a top four qualification,theere are few teams who are always ontop of the Lalliga table,it is only this season that Girona which was a smaller team has turned up to surprise everyone by winning games regularly.They remained ontop of the table for a very long period of time,but a draw on Monday made them drop to second while  Madrid climb to to the top spot.Whereas the premier league has a very high level of competition,both the smaller teams and the bigger teams have equal chances of winning games,and this is exactly what makes the EPL a very  tough league.

Erling Haaland is currently one of the most important (if not the most important) Manchester City players and there's nothing that'll make Manchester City's management release their talisman to another club at the moment. If Zinedine Zidane becomes Carlo Ancelotti's successor at Real Madrid, I think he'll rather go for a Kylian Mbappe than to sign a striker like Erling Haaland because Zidane's style of play wouldn't give Haaland the kind of football he would want and that'll make it very difficult for Haaland to flourish at Manchester City.

Indeed. Haaland has a very important role in Man City. He is the main machine goal of Man City although they also have Julián Álvarez. Man City must try to keep him as long as possible in Man City because his role is irreplaceable. Since Haaland still has a long contract duration, there is no reason for Man City management to give him the chance leaving Man City.

Sure, if Zidane becomes the next Real Madrid coach, he must prefer to choose Mbappe. Zidane will choose the player from his country and Mbappe is also the striker who is suitable with Real Madrid game style. Mbappe also can play in some positions that will give more options for Zidane.

Sevilla are nearly officially out of the Champions League and Europa League both. Because their last game is an away one against Lens which won't be easy for them at all. They have to win that game to continue in the Europa League at least. I think Sevilla won't be able to achieve this either because they couldn't even beat Lens home before.

After the Champions League games are completed Sevilla can at least concentrate on their La Liga games not to relegate from the league. Because from this point they seem to be in big trouble. Like I said before they shouldn't have sacked Mendilibar that easy after winning the Europa League title with him.  

I even said before the start of the Champions League about Sevilla when they started playing in this Champions League. Sevilla is not a strong team so they played in this tournament and they had no chance there. Sevilla only had a good performance in the last European League where they had much more chance compared to the other teams and even they tried to use a new coach and got their coach fired from the team to get improve but it wasn't effective at all in this team.

When La Liga was at its peak, there was Real Madrid, Barcelona and mostly Atletico Madrid, but also Sevilla, Villareal and Valencia and then every now and then there were one or two other teams that played very well and fostered the competition. But now the dominance mostly comes from Real Madrid and it feels as if the level of the league is not as high anymore. But not that you misunderstand me, La Liga is still the second strongest league in Europe. But I think the overall level used to be higher.

Honestly, I am not sure about Mbappé anymore. Because we have seen what he can do for Money. he literally straight up, used the name of Real Madrid to get more money from PSG. And he also dilution that he might actually move to Real Madrid but in reality he was never going to Real Madrid. That's what people call snake behavior.

Of course, he can choose to be at the club that he wants to be in. But it could have been done in a better way and not like – "give me more money or else I am going to the other club which is offering me more money." When in reality, the other club was in an illusion that he was actually thinking about joining.

I don't think Mbappé is that greedy for money. He can use Real Madrid to extort cash from PSG. He could have more money from his loyalty to PSG. Or he could move to Saudi Arabia for the highest salary ever.
The problem here, in my opinion, is that PSG forced him to do so, otherwise, he would be punished. How did PSG treat him? They did not select him for the official squad and even deleted Mbappé's image. His fate at that time was like Jadon Sancho at MU right now. A player cannot let his career sink from the bench. Mbappé doesn't need to worry about the future. Many big clubs also covet him. If he could, he could also go to Barcelona. They would not be inferior to Real Madrid.

in other words, Sevilla is a lower middle class team. I mean Sevilla is not part of a strong team or a big team that should not be in the UCL because their readiness is not convincing enough and they are not ready if they have to compete against a big team like Arsenal who are in the same group and maybe the coach also has a big influence on Sevilla performance.
I support your opinion that Sevilla is actually more worthy of competing in the european league with other middle class teams and getting a more certain title because in terms of experience, Sevilla is more experienced in the european league than in the UCL.

Yes, I know that PSG did not do things right with Mbappé.  But I will actually blame Mbappé for that. I think Mbappé wanted to get another season of money from PSG because they were offering him an unbelievable amount. And at the same time, he did not want to stay at PSG any longer.  That's why he did not say anything about him staying or leaving until the chance of PSG selling him was over. So of course PSG is going to be angry.  If he made his intentions clear, PSG, at least could have tried to sell him, and if PSG failed, they would have said that yes, they made a mistake and would have moved on.  I think just like he kept Real Madrid under the impression that he might actually accept the offer, he kept PSG under the impression that he would extend his contract.

[Oneandpure]

I think right now the Simeone team ATM is in a very good condition judging from their performance generally but that shouldn't make us to look down on the great work that has been done in the Barcelona team by them coach Xavi because the team is looking better compared to the way it was before the coach took charge as the heach coach of the team. I don't think ATM is superior to Barcelona right now even though they are in better shape right now and I think it will be decided when they two team play together in the league I believe the better team will be decided after the match but until then, I think we don't need to pick side now until the season is getting to an end.

Atletico Madrid have one match left than other La Liga teams and potential to make close points with Real Madrid and Girona are on the top place. If win on postponed match against Sevilla will make interested points with one point left from Madrid on the top standings awhile, Atletico have impressive performance in this season and will make La Liga will be more interested regarding have four teams for tittle race with usually dominance by Madrid and Barcelona.
Next match Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid will be dominance in this match and how possibilities with Xavi Hernandez have many player injured will win against Simione where his team on the top perform without any player injury yet.

But not that you misunderstand me, La Liga is still the second strongest league in Europe. But I think the overall level used to be higher.

At least in my lifetime, I have not seen many other teams other than Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid dominate the La Liga table. And the reason why Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are getting away with not performing as they did previously, especially Barcelona, is because the competition is not very good. Imagine this Barcelona team in English Premier League. They would have been a mid table team in my opinion. It would have been hard for them to participate in the Champions League competition. The performance of Real Madrid is okay in my opinion. Atletico Madrid has improved their performance in this season. But in previous few seasons, we only saw Barcelona and Real Madrid having a competition at the top.
