La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[giammangiato]

Barcelona concede a lot, we can't disagree, yesterday they conceded 4 from Bilbao, before that Barcelona conceded 4 from Real Madrid and Girona. I don't remember a period when Barcelona conceded 4 goals so often.

In general, we can see that Xavi has major problems, and given that La Laga is likely to be won by Real this year, it is unclear what trophy Barcelona will be able to take this year, except the cup.

but what is happening to Xavi Barcelona? I havent been following La Liga for a while due to lack of time
I come back and find a totally new and unexpected situation
I am afraid that if this trend continues, after all the money spent, Xavi might be fired because no result isnt good (in this season)

Last night was definitely a nightmare for Barcelona because they had to be eliminated in the last 16 of the Copa Del Rey after losing to Bilbao in extra time. This match was very fierce and Bilbao was not afraid in the slightest even though the opponent was Barcelona. In fact, a quick goal in the 1st minute managed to put Bilbao through Barcelona's goal and they were ahead for quite a long time. The attacks from both teams never stopped until Barcelona finally managed to reverse it with two goals before halftime. In the second half, Bilbao immediately launched their attack again and finally produced results by scoring the equalizer. Until the final minute the score did not change and the tie remained so it continued into extra time to determine the winner. In the end, Barcelona conceded 2 more goals which made the score end at 4-2 in favor of Bilbao.




According to OptaJose, Barcelona conceded 29 shots in this match, making it the most since the last time in the 2013/2014 season and of course this is no achievement. This is a bad record for the Blaugrana and far from expectations if they are one of the clubs that have conceded the most goals this season.

Marc-André ter Stegen's injury is the reason why Barcelona's defense is not as solid as last season. Then, several Barcelona defenders also suffered injuries, including Alejandro Balde, who had to be replaced by Héctor Fort in that match. Of course it was surprising, but Barcelona should have emerged victorious had Lamine Yamal not wasted two big opportunities towards the end of the match in normal times.

Basically, it was not only Barcelona who failed to advance to the next round of the Copa Del Rey. Real Madrid and Girona had previously failed against Atletico Madrid and Mallorca, then Barcelona was another top team that failed to qualify for the semi-finals. So far Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca have qualified, while waiting for one of the other teams, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, who will play today.

Maybe if we talk about the role of a goalkeeper, Ter Stegen is the best that Barcelona has, but we also have to remember that Barcelona's defense has recently often caused problems which have resulted in opponents freely shooting towards the goal. I think here the goalkeeper is not the only cause of Barcelona's defense crisis and initially it was caused by their defenders not being strong enough in defending the defense.

Indeed, the result was unexpected and initially I quite favored Barcelona, Girona, Real Madrid and Atletico who would be in the semifinals but unfortunately now Atletico is the only team that has a big chance of winning the Copa Del Rey this season. The Wanda Metropolitano squad is the strongest of the several teams that have qualified and of course they have to prove this by beating Sevilla in today's match.

The score was already visible and Girona had to be satisfied with their situation which had to lose narrowly to Mallorca in this match but this could also be a blessing for them because with defeat now they are more able to focus on La Liga alone without looking at other competitions.
Girona journey in the Copa del Rey competition has stopped now.

Girona's attack was the same as always but Mallorca in this match played very well and that was a problem for Girona because they could not move when almost all Mallorca players were in their defensive area so it must be very difficult to penetrate and the mistake for Girona in this match was that they did not think too much about Mallorca's counterattacks which in the end made them inconvenience themselves and 3 goals in the first half was a complicated situation because they could not anticipate it.
But I agree with what you're saying because losing this quarter-final will allow them to focus more on La Liga but it's a shame because given the performance they could have maximised their advantage.

It remains to be seen which of Barcelona and Bilbao will join Sociedad and Mallorca in the semi-finals.

Well it looks like Girona don't really suit opponents who apply defensive schemes and they are better at facing clubs with direct attacks so they can find gaps there but when they face more defensive opponents they always struggle because they only play passive attacking but the opponent is better in defense and takes advantage of the momentum to counterattack and that's a pretty effective way to fight Girona to date because this incident is not just once but previously when facing Almeria in La Liga it was also like that.

For Barcelona they must also be equally eliminated now in the Copa Del Rey quarter-finals To be honest I am a Madrid fan and seeing them lose before and Barcelona qualify I feel a little upset but in yesterday's match Barcelona failed I don't want to be happy over Barcelona's defeat it's just that it feels even for me lol

Now it only remains to see Atletico's last match in the Copa del Rey whether they will surprisingly also lose in the match later or instead they will bulldoze Sevilla easily. I expect an interesting match here although the possibility is a little difficult to happen if you look at Sevilla's current situation which is chaotic.

[QueenVera]

It seems that Girona is following Madrid who also failed in the Copa Del Rey, but I think maybe this failure is a slap in the face for Girona that lower level clubs can always give surprises at any time, Girona has played very optimally, it's just that luck is not on Girona's side, but behind this failure it makes Girona can focus more on Laliga where this title may be more valuable than the Copa Del Rey, Mallorca played so well that playing with 10 players they didn't give Girona the opportunity to equalize the score until the match was over.

In the end, Girona will be more focused on competing with Madrid in Laliga, which of course they probably hope for compared to the Copa Del Rey. They have to accept the defeat against Mallorca and must be able to focus more in the next match. Against Celta Vigo as a guest, it is clear that Girona must be able to win three points. full to maintain their position at the top of the standings because if they fail to achieve this it will give Madrid the opportunity to overtake them at the top of the standings, hopefully Girona will remain consistent even if they fail in the Copa Del Rey.

Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona even Girona is playing perfectly, I expected Girona to win when they faced Mallorca because they are not in a total good shape, especially since the match was a Copa del Rey game. The most surprising part for me was that Mallorca actually won with a little goal margin even after giving enough goal gaps from the beginning.

 But in my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience. even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. but I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.

[$crypto$]

Surprisingly the big LaLiga teams have failed in the Copa Del Rey - Girona, Real Madrid and Barcelona, now it's down to Atletico Madrid against Sevilla will they fall or win?

No matter how we look at the stats on the teams but when the teams are bet at more reasonable odds but not the big expectations all the big teams fall and it's a bit disappointing to have to take a small loss on that bet, I think Madrid will win that's a NO, including Girona who dominated the game in LaLiga but in the Copa Del Rey they couldn't, a bit unlucky to bet on this competition.

Atletico Madrid vs Sevilla at odds @1.42 is still a decent bet hopefully it doesn't lose again.

If seen as a whole, the Barcelona players are very sad because they are like pregnant women, unable to run, especially the defenders. It was embarrassing the number of times Barcelona conceded in the first few seconds. Who is wrong? Coach or player? Of course coach, in the last few matches they have conceded a lot with an average of 4 goals.

For me Xavi has done a good job, but that's enough for this season. Next season, club management will have to fire him, even though Barcelona managed to get past Napoli in the UCL League. However, this season the results and style of play are still very bad at every level. Xavi is unable to take Barcelona to the next level and it doesn't matter what players are brought in. I say he has to leave at the end of this season.

[yudi09]

When we really blame Barcelona for the defeat in the 120 minute drama, then we automatically ignore how well Bilbao anticipated Barcelona's game. Bilbao played defensively using counter attacks, this is what made it very difficult for Barcelona to win the match, which also caused Barcelona to concede 2 goals in normal time.

-snip-

Due to the bad results that have occurred at Barcelona in a row this season, perhaps the future at Barcelona will be in question.
Bilbao's greatness lies in their ability to read the strategy that Xavi implemented for Barcelona. Bilbao allowed Barcelona to control possession of the ball so that Barcelona managed to take 11 total shots during the match.

Athletic Bilbao played an attacking strategy at the start of the match after which their focus was on defending and letting Barcelona take the lead in Barcelona's possession. Bilbao changed their strategy in the second half by focusing on defending and taking advantage of counter-attacks when there was open space to score.
Barcelona's weakness lies in their lack of focus in defense. When Bilbao counterattacked, the Barcelona players were not ready to stop Bilbao's attack.

Unfortunately Barcelona is no longer the best club we use to know because there performance is getting worster every season and this season has been one of there worst season so far considering there poor performance, and with the way things are currently moving for them I doubt if they can be able to improve there performance on there next season

Poor performance was recorded, and if they want to win matches, they should enhance their stands. The performance of an elite team is determined by its players; if a player is not in good shape, the team's performance declines. Xavi Hernandez is confronting paramount challenges; he should handle them with good intentions because there is no time on their end. Barcelona is not in the same form as the previous season; a lot has changed, and they are suffering as a result of the new top challengers which the board have failed to noticed and solved.

Barcelona shocked me. I didn't believe Athletic Club would defeat them in the Copa Dary because that is the only cup I see Xavi winning, but they failed. I don't think Xavi will succeed this season because of their bad performance. why can you be playing possession ball and you can win matches, because any much Barcelona play, you will see they play the opponent but will never win expect they draw or lose, I will like they should just sack Xavi at the end of the season, because I don't think he can do anything else, he lost the Spanish Cup, Copa del Rey, and I am very sure he will still lose the La Liga trophy and the Champions League, they will end the season without any trophy Because I don't think they can compete with Madrid and Girona in the laliga title and the Champions League, I believe it will be extremely tough for them to upset Napoli in the round of 16 and advance to the quarterfinals. Xavi has no excuse for not performing properly, and the team needs to find a new management.

[Dzwaafu11]

Girona, the strongest team in Laliga at the moment, has to bear the shame because in the Copa del Rey when playing against Mallorca, Girona suffered defeat, it seems that in this match Girona must bear the shame. Sometimes I also don't understand Girona's strength, why they had to lose against a team whose ranking is currently much different from Girona's in Laliga.

Honestly it was a big shame to Girona because nobody expected the match to end that way, actually it was really sad watching the strongest team on the Spanish La Liga playing the way they did on that match, considering the performance of Girona on this season I was very confident that they will surely win Mallorca because we all no that Mallorca is not in a good form this season that's why they are currently on the position they are now, however I was surprised seeing how Girona was struggling on that match and Mallorca did not give them any breathing space by blocking all the key sides of Girona and after then Mallorca utilized the opportunity and score Girona 3-0 on the first half and if not for the red card that was issued to Mallorca player there is no way Girona would have scored any goals.

I cannot say the defeat of yesterday was a disappointment because that is not La Liga and Girona cannot perform well in all their competitions. Remember that a team performing very well in La Liga isn't necessary or compulsory; they should do the same thing in another competition, and that is why many people feel disappointed that Girona lost yesterday, but honestly, for me, I didn’t expect high expectations from them in that match because that is not La Liga, so you all put much expectation on them, and many people think that since they are already in a better position in La Liga, that is how it will go for them anywhere they go, which is not possible.

Know that there will be other clubs that are going to take over the first position in another place, so therefore, Mallorca defeating Girona is not surprising to me, and again, even if Girona are doing well, sometimes the game may not be by their side, so the luck was not for them in that match, and that’s why Mallorca beat them. Although we know that Mallorca are not in good form, But sometimes a team you underestimate performs well in a match we didn’t expect and even a club we didn’t expect, so I think that is what with Girona.

This judgment you just passed on xavi isn't fair at all because he's tried for Barcelona but then it's in the tradition of football fans to always first point fingers at the coach whenever there's a problem with the performance of the team and I'm not surprised seeing it like that now because I'm already used to this norm.

Considering everything at Barcelona you will agree that xavi has tried his best too although he's got his own flaw which of course no one is left flawless but his performance at the beginning of the season was such that almost everyone commended at that the but in recent tims he's got some challenges around a few players which is causing him some weakness on the side of his team but then I'm all, recently he's been conceding a lot of goals but has not failed to deliver victory to the team so I think if they are getting wins then they are making progress and should be given some more time maybe he could improve better with what he's got on ground since the financial strength of the team won't allow him go buy players to strengthen the team.

I think that Atletico today has a good chance of beating Seville, Atletico beat Real in the 1/8 and it was a great game, and Sevilla lost their last games with strong clubs Bilbao and Girona. Semione today fielded the optimal lineup, he understands the importance of this match and understands that perhaps they are now considered favorites of the Copa del Rey, after yesterday's defeats Barcelona and Girona, although it is worth saying that Bilbao also look very good.

[TopT3ns]

In essence, this season there is no chance for Barcelona to win titles in all competitions even though indeed, at this moment Barcelona is still in third place in the La Liga standings . But yes,still, the fact is that Barcelona is a team that cannot be consistent this season even though yes, basically Barcelona also still has good players in its main squad. But indeed, it seems that this season the Barcelona squad has also experienced a decline in performance and thus, it is difficult for them to get stable results in each of these matches and it is a difficult problem to overcome quickly for Barcelona this season.

Currently, Barcelona is in third place with a point difference from first place of eight winning points, meaning that Barcelona must often win matches to get additional points, but unfortunately, Barcelona's performance does not allow them to do that. Maybe there are internal problems. Barcelona has a bad influence on the players' performance when competing. It feels useless when you have lots of good players but can't use them well and end up losing.

A truly bad season for Barcelona. The chances of winning a trophy are very difficult right now. The big favorites of the league are Real Madrid and Girona. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are not favorites, but they have to finish at the top of the league to go to the Champions League. At least they will achieve this. I'm sure of that.

Nothing special, he will just be fired at the end of the season. The leaks reported (and were later practically confirmed by Xavi) that Barcelona should win at least 2 titles this season. Considering that two Cups (the easiest options) have already been lost and the only remaining possibility is to win either La Liga or the Champions League, Xavi’s chances are minimal. I have criticized Xavi a lot since his appointment, but this season I cannot say that the results are entirely his fault as Barcelona is deteriorating in all directions, but in any case he must accept responsibility at the end of the season. A season without titles = dismissal, for Barcelona this is undeniable.

I would also agree with you that Atletico Madrid are more likely to win today and go to the semi-finals. Although now 40 minutes have passed towards the end of the first half, still neither team could score a single goal. But if we look at the match-position, Atletico Madrid is ahead of Sevilla in everything from shots on target to ball position.
Moreover, unfortunately, Atletico Madrid missed a penalty during the 26th minute. In fact, I don't understand how a player like Griezmann missed this penalty. They could have taken the shot with Morata if they wanted. Anyway, I don't think there will be any goals in the first half, we will see the score in the second half.

This is very unfortunate, even though Atletico Madrid's chance of getting a goal is so high, it's a shame they missed it. Even up to the second half-time, neither of them had managed to score a single goal. Atletico Madrid is even leading in various ways compared to Sevilla. However, it turned out that Sevilla was quite capable of withstanding Atletico Madrid's attacks even though they weren't actually that good. I thought Atletico Madrid could be that good this time, but apparently it didn't work out. After all, there has to be a winner, one of them, and I personally still believe that Atletico Madrid will win it. At least for now, if they can qualify, then Atletico Madrid is the club that is the favorite to win this Copa del Rey.

I have gotten only one prediction wrong in this last eight of the Copa del Rey and that was the Mallorca vs Girona match. I didn't expect Girona to lose that game to Mallorca, but that's football for you.

I expected an easy win from Atletico Madrid in today's game but Sevilla seem to keep holding on. I'm tempted to say Sevilla is only delaying the inevitable but again, this is football. Nevertheless, I still believe Atletico will win this game.

Moreover, unfortunately, Atletico Madrid missed a penalty during the 26th minute. In fact, I don't understand how a player like Griezmann missed this penalty.

Any player can miss penalties. The best players in the history of football have missed penalties and some of them were very crucial penalties so it's not new. With the kind of form Griezmann is in right now, I believe he'll make up for that penalty miss.

Even though they failed to execute a penalty, I think Atletico Madrid will win this match because if you look at the game statistics, Atletico controlled the game, Sevilla hasn't even fired a shot at Atletico Madrid's goal, neither shot was on target. or the shot deviated from the target.

Apart from that, Sevilla was indeed in a slump and their aimless game was only able to survive Atletico Madrid's attacks. So I'm sure before the second half is over, Atletico will be able to score a goal against Sevilla. If Sevilla's defensive strategy is successful then Atletico is unable to score a goal in normal time and extra time so that if a penalty occurs then Sevilla's chances of qualifying are higher.

Today's match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla is not going well. Not having a hard fought match, I don't find the match enjoyable. Getting mad at Madrid after missing a special penalty. Moreover now only yellow cards are seen in the match Sevilla three players got yellow card and Atletico Madrid one player got yellow card Now 70 minutes is over, neither team can score. I think the match will continue with zero score till 90 minutes and the result of the match will be decided by Penalty Tie Breaking towards the last. It is still unpredictable for me who will be the winner of this match, although I see the performance of Atletico Madrid a little better.

Even the greatest players on earth for the past fifteen seasons has lost penalties even when they are important and mandatory for the club at or during crucial periods. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo all have seen them penalties being missed

Too many predictions ent on before the game that Sevilla would definitely not get to be winners of this round, so far right now they have held them down. I would want to see them continue with this same way whenever they go on with the La Liga Competition.
Atletico Madrid also doing better right now, Sevilla has seen improvements inna way with the coach hopefully they start winning games.
