La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Xxmodded]

On the probabilities I can still consider Real Madrid to have good luck in some tough games when they can win them. Real Madrid did not perform well in several matches, mainly because they failed to take advantage of their goal opportunities, but as an experienced team, Real Madrid tends to be able to win even if they have to try many methods until the match ends.

I see that Real Madrid always has difficulty winning matches when the opposing players manage to lock the game of Bellingham. Mallorca, Alaves and Atletico Madrid did it this season, but Real Madrid won the match. But I think Real Madrid will soon lose points in the next match considering how difficult it is for them to win in the last few matches. Opposing teams will discover their weaknesses and this will have an impact on Real Madrid's final match results and their title race.

Last two matches before, I have the same opinion with you about Real Madrid faced difficult for winning match due lack aggressive on attacking by scoring one goal only in last two matches. Actually Real Mallorca and Alaves is not top team but Madrid difficult for scoring exactly last match against Mallorca need more than 78 minutes for scoring goals.
Upcoming match against Almeria, Real Madrid should aggressive on first minutes for scoring as possibility many goals on first half not get difficult on second half, its not comfortable position when managing with one goal only with opponent teams has chance to make match result to be draw, indeed Real Madrid keep in the top standings they have perform well on upcoming match.

Is Barcelona officially replaced by Girona now? I mean only Girona are very close to Real Madrid and that's something Barcelona should be able to do this season. Moreover, yesterday they were able to seriously beat Atletico and make the gap even further with a difference of 10 points. It is absolutely impossible for Barcelona to get close to the two top teams at the moment, be it Real Madrid or Girona and we definitely know how Barcelona's performance this season has not been very convincing.

Real barely got a win, Mallorca played very well, their defense was great, they closed down so great that nobody in Real figured out a way to score, they tried for 80 minutes and failed, and there were a few moments when Mallorca even had chances, if they were just a bit more lucky they could have even won. Their defense was seriously great, anyone who watched the game, specially the second half, would tell you that it was an elite level defending, they closed down so well.

Real got lucky, it was a corner header that got them the win, nothing planned, just pure luck basically, it happens, must felt horrible for Mallorca to lose like that, they played so well for so long and almost lost the game as well, would have been terrible.

I disagree. I would not call that luck actually. Because first of all they had to achieve that corner, and you can call the heading skill luck. And then after the goal, they had to defend to win. They had a clean sheet after all. You know, Football is not luck luck-based game but skill skill-based game. Rudiger had to fight as well to win the header as well. They had needed skills to take that cross as well. So you cannot call this luck.

Girona also put up a good fight against Atletico Madrid and had a very good win.

Almeria is one of the teams that will be relegated this season.Almeria, who lost 1-0 away to Osasuna, has no win in the league yet.Almeria is in the last place with 5 points and I honestly don't expect Almeria to stay in the league.I think they should start planning for next year.Osasuna is not a team that can enter the top 7 in the league this season, but I think they will at least try to stay in the league.Of course they have a chance of relegation, but I think they are strong enough to stay in the league.
Sevilla hosted Athletic Bilbao, the in-form team of the last few weeks.Bilbao continued their rise by beating their opponent 2-0 away from home.Although Sevilla had more possession of the ball, they failed to capitalize on their scoring positions at home.They need to come to their senses because they are very close to the relegation zone.

[Ayers]

Celta Vigo are trying to get out of the bottom of the standings.The home team managed to win at home against Real Betis yesterday and increased their points to 16.This win was important for them because their opponents were not easy.I think better days await Celta Vigo, who had plenty of positions at home and won with a last minute goal.
Girona was the winner in the most important and strange match of the day.Girona continues to be legendary this season.Girona beat Atletico Madrid 4-3 and we can say that Girona is almost like other big teams.I did not expect such a result, I expected at least a 2-1 win, but they are really good this season.Girona started the match fast and managed to take the lead in the 2nd minute and there were 5 goals in the first half.In the 54th minute, Morata scored the 3rd goal of both his team and himself, while Atletico Madrid lost away with a goal in the last minute.

The Girona and Atletico Madrid match was a treat to the eyes. The Girona players scored a goal in the extra time of the second half. Alvaro Morata scored his hat trick in the match as well. I was concerned about how Girona's performance would be after they just lost the top spot but it looks like they got the fight in them. It is very assuring for me because La Liga will still be very interesting.

Celta Vigo had a very tough victory against Real Betis which put them out of the Relegation Zone which is very good for them. Just like the Girona match, Real Betis scored the winning goal in the extra time of the 2nd half. What a night it was in La Liga!

It must be very difficult and frustrating for the fans of Almeria to watch their team not even able to achieve a single victory after 18 games played in the Spanish La Liga this season. The defense of Almeria are very weak and I think Osasuna will be able to take advantage of it and score a victory at the final whistle today.

Osasuna and Almeria's match ended in favor of Osasuna. With a 1-0 defeat at Osasuna, Almeria are yet to record any win after the 19th matches played this season in La Liga. Almeria will lose their upcoming match against the form Girona.

[ingiltere]

Barca conceded the goal way too early. I was expecting them to concede a goal though, El-Haddadi was an ex-Barca player and he's a quality forward. Now Barca need to score at least 2 goals and win the match because the point gap is too much already. Lewandowski can't get balls he wanted, it's not like last season. Xavi should find a way to use Lewa more effectively. There's not much expectation for Raphinha and Torres. Maybe this time Lamine Yamal should join the game earlier, as things are not going well on the attack side for Barca.

[lalabotax]

Really, I really enjoyed the match between Girona vs Atletico Madrid. Even though in the first half Girona was far superior in the course of the match, it seemed that Atletico Madrid was finally able to face the challenge and started to improve, especially in the second half. And the match went very tough.

However, the salute from Girona is that even though the players are not top players, their mentality is very good and they don't lose their enthusiasm when playing with top clubs. The final result 4 - 3 for Girona's victory was very satisfying, but on the other hand it was certainly very painful for Atletico Madrid. Currently, the competition between Real Madrid and Girona remains very tight.

Anyway, Barcelona is currently still 1-0 behind Las Palmas. It was unexpected that Las Palmas was quite attacking from the start, so however, Barcelona didn't seem very ready for these conditions, which was perhaps unexpected. So here, Barcelona is really being tested to win this match or they will really miss the opportunity.

Before the start of the game, I predicted that it'll be a difficult match for the two clubs especially the away team and just like I predicted, Barcelona is having a very difficult night at Las Palmas tonight. Las Palmas is playing well especially in the defense where they've been able to stop Barcelona's attacking line to penetrate and score in the game.
I predicted that three or more goals will be scored in the game but considering what I'm currently seeing on my screen, I think there's even a possibility of the game finishing with the current scoreline. We are in the second half of the season and almost every club in the Spanish La Liga campaign are trying to significantly improve their performance in other to finish the season on a very good note.

I also want to say that Real Madrid was lucky because Real Madrid's game in this match was not strong, especially the back line, there were still two golden opportunities for Mallorca whose shot hit the crossbar. If this could be Mallorca's goal, maybe Real Madrid will lose this match. I think Real Madrid's weakness this season is in defense because many of their defenders are injured.

It must be admitted that Mallorca's game was extraordinary in this match, from defending sporadically to occasionally providing threats. but in the end Real Madrid opened the year with three points which were not easy to get, these three points were very important for Real Madrid because in the other match Girona managed to beat Atletico Madrid. Honestly, Girona are crazy, they really have a strong mentality and managed to score the winning goal vs Atletico in extra time, 4-3 which made Morata's hat trick useless. The victory of these two teams made the league competition even fiercer and tighter.

The pattern of football is changing, the club's we're all watching out for have crumbled this season and they're living on hypes of their previous records, they have no ground to stand on this season and that's bad. Barcelona doesn't follow up at all and this is one of the major setback they're witnessing. Common Las Palmas, its now a big challenge for Barcelona to win, doesn't make sense to me. If Barcelona failed to bounce back in the second half, then it's finally clear that they're no longer consider to even have a chance of bouncing back to the La Liga title race. On the current scores, Las Palmas leading with 1-0 on the scoresheet against Barcelona and it's halftime already.

Girona also put up a good fight against Atletico Madrid and had a very good win.

Well, actually I don't think I have had any luck either, because it is a team that has always been at the forefront of things, Real Madrid is a very calculating team that always has the most appropriate ways to do things, plus the fact that it is with an Ancelotti because it could mean that things are going in a very good direction, and even more so now that it is until 2026, because now in this type of contract they give him all the authority so that he always makes the best strategy, so the things that can Doing it thinking about the best is always looking to win more is not luck, other teams may be lucky, but that headed goal is something that Mallorca couldn't do, and why couldn't they do it? So things should be done that way, from what I have seen in the team, many things can happen and they have such good players that now with that way of playing, even the most central defenders have options to score the goal.

In this way, Madrid's main contender is no longer Barcelona, it is Girona, and this is what many can do and take for granted, Ancelotti has a tough fight with this team who are fighting for first place, where the Madrid would have been in a tie, things would have been different, because Madrid was in second place, I don't know how things will be in Barcelona, since everything indicates that they could have better support if they had more considerations with those who are involved there, I agree with many readings, Thanks to him I believe that they have not been beaten, because he is one of the players that mostly has great agility and can make the difference, in fact for me he is Barcelona's best player, rather he has to demand more from others and not both to him.

Real Madrid 'willing to pay £25.9m for Juanlu Sanchez'

Real Madrid have reportedly told Sevilla that they are prepared to pay €30m (£25.9m) for defender Juanlu Sanchez during this summer's transfer window.

The 20-year-old came through the youth system at Sevilla, making 68 appearances for their second side before debuting for the first team in the Copa del Rey in December 2021.

Juanlu's La Liga debut also came in late 2021, but he did not feature at senior level in the second half of the 2021-22 campaign and spent the 2022-23 campaign on loan at Mirandes in the Segunda Division.

At first, Las Palmas' performance was quite impressive. They even control the ball control. Moreover, they were able to score a goal first and until now the first half of the match was paused, the result is still 1 - 0 for Las Palmas leading. However, Barcelona have actually started to try and control the game again so that they finally have the opportunity to attack.

However, there hasn't really been a kick that was surprising or enough to put pressure on Lass Palmas. So they still can't equalize. You're right, Lewy hasn't had a chance to attack or pass well so far. It seems that their current condition is still not very solid. So Xavi has to try harder in this second half

[Onyeeze]

The match between a Osasuna and Almeria I notice from the beginning of the match that Almeria will lose the match against Osasuna, because since this recent matches I have not seen almeria before wining any match recently so therefore I believe that they will lose this match and my taught still come to accomplish, because Osasuna have being wining all their matches too and but almeria have not in any ways win a match recently all their counterpart always defeat them either by 1:0 or 3:1 so I don't really know if the fault is from the coach or the players that is making to be losing so many matches

There is still enough time in the game to turn things around merely Barcelona are able to score one goal there will be the motivation to score another and that motivation can lead them to winning the game. The coach however has a huge work to change the game in the second half to the favor of Barcelona who desperately need this three points to not be so lost from the top two teams being Real Madrid and Girona, and then give room for Athletic club and Athletico Madrid to push them down to fifth on the table. Bad start to an important year is what Barcelona are having.

[Sim_card]

It is 1-0, against Barca in Estadio de Gran Canaria. Las Palmas had an early goal in the first 12th minutes of the game to take the lead and since then Barca have being finding it difficult to equalize the goal. Barca defense is porous and Xavi needs to do something about this. Palmas is a weak club and they are not as strong as Barca, so I believe that Barca will have a welcome back in the second half. Barca needs to win this match because they are on the 5th position with 10points behind Real Madrid and Girona. This is a very bad season for Barca as they are struggling with their matches, unlike like them. Munir El Haddad was the player that was able to find the back of the net within 12 minutes.

[nelson4lov]

So Barcelona ended the first half without a single shot on target — . Sergio Roberto had a total of 8 touches in the first half. this is beyond disappointing for Xavi's team. Las palmas is easily one of the worst teams in the la liga and they've taken the lead in the first half. Anyway, Barcelona has equalized through Ferren torres. It looks like whatever Xavi told his players during half time team talk is already working because even players like Raphina are beginning to try their luck with shots.

The game is still early, there is likelihood that Barca can do a comeback with enough time still left to play but the problem is Las Plamas themselves have been great this season and currently occupy the eight position on the table which will make it a task for Barca to turn it around. Barcelona on the hand should they lose this game will have a huge mountain to climb to win the tittle this year. A Loss today will mean a 10 point gap between the Leaders Madrid and them, although it is not right to rule them out just yet but that will be a comeback to do. Barcelona scar now isn’t even about losing the league alone but the qualification places for champions league is also under a threat and teams up are actually doing well. Barcelona need to start the year on high note by getting a good result.

If my memory serves me right, Munir El Haddad was once a Barcelona player? He was dubbed as one of the next brilliant footballers with comparisons to Lionel Messi until life happened  

Anyway, Barcelona's defense is really terrible lately, and their attack isn't also helping that much in scoring enough goals to win games. Ferran Torres has equalized for Barcelona a few minutes back. Let's see if they will take all the 3 points home

The goal came too early even if I didn't know what have resulted to that goal. I didn't see this game but it seems like Barcelona would try to fight for a draw at the end of the game.
It's not a good and new way to start the second half of the season. Damnit, it was even scored by their former player who graduated from them J boys.
It's seem like Xavi Hernandez is still not able to identify the issues relating to the club lately. Barcelona to point thing's out needs a neww midfielder it's reasons whey they need to sign the name  Joshua Kimmich who have been out of  a while.

Atletico Bilbao and didn't fail for winning tonight. Sevilla also embarrassed today. They should done better
