La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[wakier]

It is quite unique if we look at Real Betis' match results in the last 5 matches because they got 4 draws and 1 win. This was all achieved because they held several strong teams such as Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and most recently Girona to a draw, but they should have been able to get 3 points instead of 1 point against Almeria. The result of the draw is also the same as eliminating a total of 12 points and maybe next time Real Betis should maximize the existing results rather than just playing a draw.

Even though they only achieved a draw, Real Betis was able to hold the strongest teams in La Liga to a draw at the moment, namely Girona and Real Madrid. This will greatly increase the team's confidence in facing the next matches, namely against Celta and Granada. Both are at the bottom of the standings, which means there is a big opportunity for Real Betis to secure the full 6 points and improve their ranking in the League.

I admit that Real Betis cannot be underestimated. They try not to lose when facing strong clubs at the moment (Girona, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad). Indeed, a draw is not a bad result because Real Betis tries not to lose. However, Real Betis has had the most draws so far and this has caused them to lose a lot of points. I hope that in the match against Celta, Real Betis will be able to get 3 points and end their draw so that all the players can work optimally without getting too many draws.

Barcelona have lost so many points recently. Their form in their last 5 league games is really poor which caused them to be left behind by Girona and Real Madrid more in points. In addition to that Atletico Madrid also have  got ahead of them. Barcelona really need to make a big improvement in this form if they want to be a part of the title competition.

They can start by beating Las Palmas away next week. But I must admit that this isn't an easy task for them. Because if you remember Las Palmas beat Atletico Madrid home before. They have a potential to surprise Barcelona as well.

Xavi Hernandez will try to make things right when the second half of the season begins. Barcelona are good at giving time to their legends. A good example is Koeman who was worst than Xavi Hernandez, regardless of the poor performance and results he was still backed up by the management and given time to fix the club. It was obvious he wasn't the man for the club.

Finishing on top of the league getting doubtful, but finishing top four would be possible to achieve. They're not same club, Barcelona regardless of all these things remains a big club. Real Madrid would win the league or Girona in my opinion.

I think it is impossible to fire Xavi, Barcelona has no reason to fire him. Xavi has done his good effort, he improved Barcelona performance although Barcelona has a lack of experienced players. Many of Barcelona current players are young players, they are promoted from Barcelona academy. Some of the young players have been growing impressively although it is not enough to compete for the title. Xavi needs time to improve the young players, so they have good experience and sufficient skills.

Yes, Barcelona is following for some competitions, they are better to focus on the competitions. Why Barcelona management need to hurry to change the coach? The problem isn't about the coach but it is about the quality and capability of players. To deal with this problem, Xavi needs some new players or he grows the young players for few years.

I agree completely with your point of view, xavi is in no way the problem Barcelona has currently, and changing him will in no way improve Barcelona any better, they will just have to start all over again getting use to the new coach and that luxury of time is what they don't have as the season has gone halfway already if they must change coach it should be after this season.

Barcelona over the years have experienced good growth and development under xavi even with little financial capacity, he has been able to manage the available players and groomed them into becoming the kind of players who has help the team well enough, he even got some players on loan especially Felix which happens to be the most recent who is given them the kind of results they really desire to see. If there's enough finance for xavi to be able to run the team I'm very certain he will be able to get the kind of players he will be able to work with and get the desired results the team desires.

Xavi has actually lost a way to improve the team, therefore in the last match he criticized his own players quite harshly. I even assume that Xavi doesn't feel comfortable managing Barcelona anymore. He got into a lot of trouble with Joan Laporta because he demanded that he improve the club amidst the financial crisis that hit them. Will Xavi be fired? Anything can happen if there is no longer harmony in club management, however the inconsistency in Barcelona performance is very clear. They must immediately fix this and move back up to the top 3 to close the gap with Madrid and Girona.

Is only 2 ? I think being on 2nd place in LaLiga is really a great achievement that no one really anticipated before the season began. Personally , I think they will become champions of LaLiga just like Leicester did it a few years ago in EPL and I'm saying this because I've watched at least 6 games of Girona this season and this team is playing the best football in Spain right now and they should be champions as long as VAR or some referees won't screw them.

I mean they are currently in La Liga for the 2nd year. They were promoted in season 22/23. That means they haven't played in the league for long.  The first year they ended up in 10th place. This year they are starting to make history of always being in the top 3. This season Girona drew against Betis, this left them on the same points as Madrid and they dropped to 2nd. Betis are not a weak team, they have also only lost 2 games.

Girona's achievements after last season only reached 10th place and then this season competing at the top deserves the greatest appreciation. And what makes Girona unique is that their squad depth is not as good as Real Madrid or Barcelona. But their performance has matched Real Madrid and is currently even better than Barcelona. An interesting thing this season also happened because of the presence of Girona in the competition at the top.

What I hope is that Girona can at least stay in the top 4 zone so they can get a ticket to the Champions League. And with their current performance this should be possible. Even winning a title can happen. And actually, if we look at who owns the most shares in Girona, we won't be surprised by Girona's current performance. Because the fact that everyone should know is that Girona and Manchester City are under the City Football Group. However, the difference is that Manchester City has many extraordinary players so it is natural that they are extraordinary in the EPL. But Girona is only filled with ordinary players but they can be extraordinary now in Laliga.

This season's Girona climb is incredible. Since I've been following their games, its amazing how they've competed with the big leagues despite lacking depth like Real Madrid or Barcelona. Their constant performance against tougher opponents has been fun to see. They now think staying in the top 4 is possible. Although Girona's roster isnt as talented as Manchester City's, the City Football Group's influence is clear in their success. This shows that big names arent necessarily needed to create headlines in the league.

Its possible to win the title, but its hard. They face more experienced high-pressure teams. What if they can keep shocking us and preserve their form? If Girona wins LaLiga, it may be historic. Girona shows that football's volatility is its beauty.

Barcelona are not in the race for the league title this season, it's very clear they're out and wouldn't be able to match up with the current activities and expectations from the players and fans. Barcelona was not inform when the board appointed Xavi Hernandez to lead the team, they signed and sacked several coaches before finally settling for the club's legend and he's doing well ever-since. Though I missed one of the previous coaches, Ronald Koeman who couldn't maintain the club when he got the appointment to become the headcoach of Barcelona, he did try his best but it wasn't good enough.

This will greatly increase the team's confidence in facing the next matches, namely against Celta and Granada. Both are at the bottom of the standings, which means there is a big opportunity for Real Betis to secure the full 6 points and improve their ranking in the League.

For Granada, I agree that Real Betis will get 3 points again, but against Celta Vigo, this will be quite a fierce match. This is not to underestimate Real Betis, but actually Celta Vigo is able to keep up with Real Betis even though they are currently slumped in the relegation zone. Moreover, if we look at the H2H statistics between Real Betis and Celta Vigo, the results are dominated by draws, so the possibility that Real Betis will get a draw is still possible. But I won't deny that Real Betis can win at home to Celta Vigo because in the H2H Real Betis also proved they are capable of doing it.

However, if we want to bet, it is better to take the BTTS (Yes) betting option or draw no bet for Real Betis considering that the draw result is still quite high in this match. Apart from all that, Real Betis must win so they can gain full points again and break the previous series of draws.

History is made in a day and nothing is impossible for Girona with their current form, if they can continue in this form, there is a high possibility that they will win the Laliga this season. After all, this was how Napoli played last season and won the league to make history. I am surprised at their performance in all matches that they have played this season, as you see the motivation in the players to win the matches, but I will not be surprised if they win the league this season.

[Xxmodded]

Following some media reports, Barcelona might consider parting ways with Xavi if they end the season without winning any trophies. In my opinion, Xavi should continue as Barca currently lacks quality players and also dealing with numerous injuries. Once the financial situation improves, they can invest in top players and strikers, and Barca will regain its strength.
Definitely Barcelona is facing challenges while simultaneously competing for various trophies this season,
Champions League,
La Liga,
Copa del Rey, and
Spanish Super Cup.

Less financial budget for signing top players and most of signing player in this season as free agent or loan option I think not fair have to sack Xavi Hernandez from his position as manager. Despite without winning any tittles yet he was success made Barcelona become domestic league winner last season with financial problem face by Barcelona. Actually in this season, Xavi Hernandez made Barcelona success qualify to 16 phase in Champion League and become first achievement after failure last two season for qualifying to next round.

But difference when winter transfer window opening management give Xavi much money for signing top players, Xavi have try efficiency with players signed without have spent much money but success won La Liga tittle last season and qualify to 16 round of champion league, I think one of four tittle left seems get one by Barcelona in this season.

Xavi Hernandez will try to make things right when the second half of the season begins. Barcelona are good at giving time to their legends. A good example is Koeman who was worst than Xavi Hernandez, regardless of the poor performance and results he was still backed up by the management and given time to fix the club. It was obvious he wasn't the man for the club.

Finishing on top of the league getting doubtful, but finishing top four would be possible to achieve. They're not same club, Barcelona regardless of all these things remains a big club. Real Madrid would win the league or Girona in my opinion.

Barcelona is more troubled by its financial problems than its game. but for the coach, he won't care about it. but for players it will reduce motivation. for example, Gerard Pique chose to retire from the world of soccer rather than his salary being cut, Lionel Messi would rather leave Barcelona than choose to stay.
And reportedly again investigated about the financial report by UEFA if not in order will definitely get sanctions can not compete in European level competitions it will be a very heavy blow if it happens.

Even though the hope is like that i think with the current conditions it is not too easy to improve even in the middle of the season unless there are some improvements that occur for their players especially for the attack line.
Gavi still won't be playing and this could indirectly weaken the situation in attack, and the option to bring Ansu back from Brighton is also out of the question as Ansu is also out injured for at least a few months.

Barcelona  current attacking line is still a problem that will indeed be problematic with some players like Lewandowski who failed to show his good performance like in the first season when he came.
In addition the difficult financial condition  for Barcelona at the moment make them stuck with the difficult situation they feel because with this they cannot add players because their finance are still limited due to some previous problems that have resulted in them having to save their finances.

They can start by beating Las Palmas away next week. But I must admit that this isn't an easy task for them. Because if you remember Las Palmas beat Atletico Madrid home before. They have a potential to surprise Barcelona as well.

Barcelona this season is not doing well, in fact it's not just from 5 matches, in my opinion, from the start of the season they have had difficulty scoring goals, even though they won, they really had difficulty, unlike before, as we know, Barcelona is always productive in scoring goals. in every match, in the last match they even almost drew against Almeria.

In my opinion, Xavi needs to adjust his system or playing strategy to be more counter-attacking rather than sticking to Barcelona's style of ball possession, because there is no point in Barcelona dominating possession of the ball but not being able to score goals. If Barcelona changes their game against Las Palmas, maybe Barcelona can win, but if the game is still like yesterday, they will have difficulty beating Las Palmas because Las Palmas is also in a good trend, and from 10 matches in all competitions, Las Palmas only lost twice. , and it's true that they actually managed to beat Atletico Madrid with a score of 2-1.

Barcelona are good against the opposing goal but they can't finish and pass the ball, there seems to be obvious selfishness. Especially raphinha and ferran do this a lot. Barça won the championship last year with a very strong defence. This year it is very strange that they are giving so many deficits and conceding so many goals despite adding to their defence. Barcelona concedes goals very easily. They can't play a big team game. Big teams should be good enough to play both sides of the game. We can't see the old Barcelona.

Yes Barcelona have been going through this season with very poor performances, due to which they are losing easily to their opponents. We can see that Barca, a strong team, is currently not playing a very good attacking full game even against normal teams and is losing. We have seen Barcelona attack in every match with frustration and they are not succeeding but losing matches. No supporter can accept that this team, who won La Liga last year, will perform so poorly in the new season. As they are a big team and a strong team, they are not playing very well but they are easily succumbing to the opposition. But if Barcelona improve their game, surely we can see the old Barcelona in the field again in the next matches and we will see their position at the top of the points table.

  Xavi has achieved success at Barcelona even with the financial situation of the club and yes, he must be given his accolades. The club might chose to sack him but that’s not on basis of his success rate at the team. It could be as a result of the club’s financial status but it’s better to have a mutiny agreement and discuss a pay cut rather that actual sacking because Xavi is ones of the club’s pride and knows how best to handle this club.

 No doubt he’s mid class but he’s not doing bad compared to his footballing counterparts like Gerrard and co, so I think Barcelona board should sit with him and come to an agreement should Incase it’s their financial status that’s the issue here. Else I think letting Xavi go might probably haunt them soon, cause they might end up bringing in another manager that would be worst or no where compared to Xavi

[Jody.Drummer]

I think Barcelona's management is not wise if they break the cooperation with Xavi, because Barcelona's current performance is also due to their own actions in the past, which makes them unable to move freely, especially in the transfer market. Still lucky they have a coach like Xavi who can bring change when they slumped in the previous 2 seasons, and now they will kick this coach for that reason?
I understand that they want the title this season, but with the limitations they have, they should also be able to think more mature and not just blame the coach alone. Unless they give Xavi some perks and facilities, it still makes sense to me. Now the problem is that to recruit players they have to look for players who are on free transfers. I'm not a fan of Xavi here, but I see here they blame Xavi if they fail to bring trophies this season.

I agree with you, management and club officials must reflect well, that firing Xavi is not a wise course. The club financial situation is a big problem, Xavi knows more about players than those who only enjoy the results from the stands. I think Xavi has become a great coach by winning the La Liga title last season, in the midst of the chaos of the crisis he was able to overcome challenges and present trophies that not all coaches can do.

It was reported that Xavi was having an argument with sporting director Deco, the media concluded that Barcelona defeat to Anwerp in the UCL group phase was one of the factors. I think this season is not finished yet, and Barcelona still has a chance in every competition they participate in, indeed Xavi has some homework that needs to be completed. On the other hand, management should think about ways to support Xavi so he can be active in the transfer window, rather than thinking about what trophies Xavi can present without giving him enough spending money.

Well they should solve the source of their problem first, which is their finances. Because so far I don't see the problem with the coach even though he has been unsatisfactory several times, but we also have to be fair why the coach can get results like that. Unlike Koeman in the past, he was not good at the game, I didn't see any development at all so Barcelona made the right decision. Whereas Xavi has shown good performance for now, even last season he brought the La Liga title to Barcelona.
If they are thinking of sacking Xavi, I would say they should think twice if they want to do it, it could be disastrous for them. After all if they sack Xavi then who will they appoint to be the next coach?

I think Xavi Hernandez will be able to lift Barcelona's glory, even though he has financial obstacles, the lack of funds to buy players is an obstacle for Xavi Hernandez to buy the players needed in the Barcelona squad, management could buy the world's top coaches, but all of that is limited. Due to their financial problems, whether they like it or not, Barcelona has to continue to trust It is very likely that Barcelona will be a strong competitor this season.

Barcelona currently only relies on their academy players to help them financially in selling young players, so that the money generated can be used to buy the players that Xavi Hernandez wants in their main squad.

Barcelona currently only relies on their academy players to help them financially in selling young players, so that the money generated can be used to buy the players that Xavi Hernandez wants in their main squad.

Last season he succeeded in bringing Barcelona out as champions in La Liga with the same conditions as now, financial problems had occurred before he arrived and he was even given the priority to handle Barcelona using only his limited strength. This means that Barcelona management understands these conditions and they will not demand anything more from Xavi Hernandez if they fail to lead Barcelona this season.

La Masia academy players are actually good but they don't have the experience to play at a high level so it takes time for them to adapt. If management can be patient, I am sure that the young players that Barcelona has will continue to develop because currently there is no other choice but to rely on the available players.

Of course, Barcelona can still guarantee to finish in the top four but to compete in the title race ofcourse, will be difficult for Barcelona this season. What's more, Barcelona also still have to play in the Champions League this season and when the performance is not stable at this moment then ya,it is certainly a difficult job for Xavi also this season. Indeed, when Xavi returned to Barcelona to become Barcelona head coach at that time the situation also was very chaotic, but that does not mean Xavi will easily repeat that success at this moment.

Because ofcourse, there will be situations and conditions that may be different too, moreover Xavi who succeeded last season but failed this season, at least these results also show that maybe Xavi also has limited abilities . Therefore, even though Barcelona are currently still in the top four but ya, I believe it will still be difficult for Xavi to get Barcelona back into the title race this season.

But if Barcelona improve their game, surely we can see the old Barcelona in the field again in the next matches and we will see their position at the top of the points table.

Stabilizing a club by performing consistently every season is not an easy thing, we certainly agree with that. Moreover, Xavi is faced with another reality, the financial crisis that hit Barcelona has had a huge impact on the development of the squad, so we believe that this is the main cause of the ups and downs in their performance this season which cannot be avoided. To the point that Xavi had to prepare the team to go on an impromptu tour and take part in a friendly match to America, in order to help their finances.

I think Barcelona is not completely bad, it would be very wrong if we view them that way, just because they lost points in just a few matches. Of course, as you said, improving performance must be Xavi priority now, to improve their position in the standings again. Xavi, as the person most responsible for this, must overcome the existing challenges in order to defend the trophy.

Despite the setbacks that have occurred within Barcelona, I think Xavi and his squad still have a chance to retain the trophy, yes I really understand the current competition, Madrid and Girona are two of the better teams. A difference of 7 points is still reasonable to pursue, if Barcelona fail, at least they will join in the competition for the trophy until the end of the season.

I think Xavi Hernandez will be able to lift Barcelona's glory, even though he has financial obstacles, the lack of funds to buy players is an obstacle for Xavi Hernandez to buy the players needed in the Barcelona squad, management could buy the world's top coaches, but all of that is limited. Due to their financial problems, whether they like it or not, Barcelona has to continue to trust It is very likely that Barcelona will be a strong competitor this season.

Barcelona currently only relies on their academy players to help them financially in selling young players, so that the money generated can be used to buy the players that Xavi Hernandez wants in their main squad.

Last season he succeeded in bringing Barcelona out as champions in La Liga with the same conditions as now, financial problems had occurred before he arrived and he was even given the priority to handle Barcelona using only his limited strength. This means that Barcelona management understands these conditions and they will not demand anything more from Xavi Hernandez if they fail to lead Barcelona this season.

La Masia academy players are actually good but they don't have the experience to play at a high level so it takes time for them to adapt. If management can be patient, I am sure that the young players that Barcelona has will continue to develop because currently there is no other choice but to rely on the available players.

The players currently available need players who are able to provide ball supply, to form Barcelona's attacking power because there is a lack of players who are able to support Barcelona's attacking players, because their rival clubs have bought several of their flagship players so it is not surprising that Barcelona is lagging behind because of their players. the lack of it has hampered their game this season..

It is true that last season Barcelona dominated the season, but as the season progresses clubs are certainly out there buying players for this season's competition, and it is very clear that this financial problem is an obstacle for Barcelona management in purchasing players, at least relying on their young players to increase their flying hours to compete even though they have to face strong teams in Europe..

Barcelona are good against the opposing goal but they can't finish and pass the ball, there seems to be obvious selfishness. Especially raphinha and ferran do this a lot. Barça won the championship last year with a very strong defence. This year it is very strange that they are giving so many deficits and conceding so many goals despite adding to their defence. Barcelona concedes goals very easily. They can't play a big team game. Big teams should be good enough to play both sides of the game. We can't see the old Barcelona.

To me, Barcelona has two major problems.
One is their defense and secondly it's their attack. I don't know which is easier to fix but if hey don't fix those two departments, they won't be winning any silverware this season.

The defense concedes too many goals. A defense of that nature should not be conceding that much goals. They have very good defendere but they always lack concentration either at the beginning of the game or at the end.

As for the attack, have you seen the expected goals stats of Barcelona? They miss too many chances. The are the team in La Liga that have created the most chances and they're also the team have missed the most big chances. They really need to fix that.
Vitor Roque will be traveling to Barcelona soon, hopefully he would be able to make their attack score more goals.
