La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[asriloni]

playing at home Barcelona lost to Vilareal. this at the same time has declared by itself Barcelona has been released from the Spanish league title race.
But last night's match was quite exciting and interesting, there were many goals in this match with 8 goals scored by both teams. with a final result of 3-5 for Vilareal's victory

Im very happy with this result. It's time for xavi to leave from barcelona soon. Barcelona is shitty club now and it was always performing so badly and there will be no place anymore for xavi in the club. The chance for barcelona to enter the title race is zero right now. Glad to see that villareal was able destroying barcelona.
Barcelona got all the poor results in all the various competitions and this is a bad day for me to see real madrid winning the game while barcelona lose. Im feeling that the best achievement for barcelona this season will be UCL spot. I see no chance for barcelona to compete for the la liga trophy.

Another update from romano regarding the future of xavi in the barcelona https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1751349450264469775

It has been trending on twitter and said that if xavi is going to leave from the club soon. Here's the quote

BREAKING: Xavi Hernández has decided to LEAVE Barcelona at the end of the season.

Xavi think that if he is klopp but klopp is one of best coach has ever existed. Mockery from fans of both Liverpool and Barcelona has begun as a result of his decision to leave the club soon. what a garbage coach and barcelona needs to sign a new coach as soon as possible. I know that this lost against villareal was unacceptable result for the fans.
Barcelona has so many good players but it's still performing to badly.

Lol, as if he had ever expressed his desire or as if their was a hidden agenda for Guardiola to come back to a Barcelona that is on the verge of collapse. He has Haaland and all these other amazing players and then one guy here comes up with the genius idea that he could have the inner desire to give all of that up in order to coach Barcelona.

Maybe this is just the hope of some parties who are quite disappointed with Xavi. Even though not only Xavi, but Barcelona is also not doing well. However, this rumor is just a rumor, it could even be called not a rumor because this publication is actually old news.
And even in an interview, when a reporter asked about himself and Klopp, he simply answered like this:

When Guardiola was asked by a reporter if he would see out his contract at Etihad, Guardiola replied: "Do you want to sack me? (With a smile). I’m fine. There’s still one more year, I want to do it – and maybe I will extend."

So in essence Pep will still be at Man City.

Actually, it's quite painful to watch the Barcelona vs Villarreal match. Because we can say that Barcelona is superior in several ways, even its attacks are quite high. But that didn't work to make them win. score 3 - 5, this is a sad result, especially since this has been a defeat several times recently.

Thanks for sharing these insightful news. Finally someone who is also providing the source with the post 

I didn't know Guardiola said that, but usually he is not the kind of guy who is playing around with the press and he would rather say "no comment", but here he is clearly playing around with the press explicitly mentioning the possibility that he could extend the contract. I would like it because it would be like the sledgehammer to the football world if all of these players out of a sudden go and retire.

[Weawant]

It was beyond my expectations. I never thought Barcelona would lose to Villareal especially with a score like that. Barca really played badly. Xavi couldn't give the fans what they wanted. When the Bacelona board first recruited Xavi as coach I thought it would give positive results for Barca because we know Xavi is one of the greatest Barcelona players in history. So he can return to playing tiki-taka like before. This defeat has finished Barcelona and I am increasingly confident that Madrid will win the La Liga title this season.

Such humiliation at home is something Barcelona could have avoided but decided to be careless and ended up in such a huge loss that came in so embarrassing, I taught Barcelona has won the game Already when I saw that they were leading 3-2  because I believed Barcelona was a stronger side and will be able to holed the scores to that win till the end of the game.

I think it's time xavi leaves, his tactics aren't working no more his losses are beginning to .w much and almost unbearable for the team and they are not helping the team anymore as they are not making much progress with such results a d they are not even sure of the champions league next season so it's such a poor result for them , Madrid will definitely win the la Liga this season with just little challenge but then the big one is ahead of them which is the UCL an did think they have got plans to winning that aswell.

Las Palma 1 - 2 Real madrid

As expected from one of the best teams in the world, Real Madrid won the game and remains in first place in the league, I have no doubt that this season we will be champions, I'm just not celebrating yet because Girona, which was supposed to be a team that stays in the positions were from European competitions, this season for some strange reason they are fighting against us in the top position and it would not be wise to celebrate knowing that Girona only has a difference of 2 points in relation to Real Madrid, we need to pray that Girona loses at less 2 games and we won 2 games so that the difference in points in 8 points of advantages we have in relation to Girona, with that we could already celebrate the title

Real Madrid have no other choice they have to win to secure their position and they will not give Girona a chance to go further, last season Real Madrid had missed the title so this season is Real Madrid turn. I didn't watch this match but I saw the statistics and Real Madrid almost made a mistake luckily Real Madrid was able to turn things around in the 65 and 83 minutes. Basically, overall Real Madrid game was less impressive and concede more often, maybe they sometimes underestimate their opponents.

Next month in the first and second weeks Real Madrid will face 2 strong opponents Atletico Madrid on February 5 and Girona on February 11 luckily both of these matches were played at Real Madrid home but even though they are playing at home we know it will not be an easy match especially against Girona who are still fighting to win the title and if Real Madrid loses one of these matches then Girona will be even more confident. Real Madrid is certainly not comfortable with that situation.

[Mayor of ogba]

I didn't see any impressive football that Barcelona played in the first half at home, and if they continue this way in the second half, Villa Real might win the match. However, we shouldn't underestimate Barcelona, because they can become deadly in the second half and win all three points.

Barcelona 0-1 Villarreal

Unfortunately Barcelona didn't look hungry enough to complete the comeback and worse off they were at home and the 12th player effect didn't help them either.

But credit should go to Villareal for putting up a brave fight playing away from home and to score five against these big boys..just hope this will be an eye opener for these guys to shake things up to organise the team before they drop more points as they haven't been convincing enough.

FC Barcelona even dominated Villareal both in ball possession and goal attempts, but failed to win against Villareal at Camp Nou. If FC Barcelona does not improve their performance and be consistent in winning matches, they will find it difficult to qualify for next year's UEFA Champions League.

WTF? Las Palmas scored a goal in the 53rd minute to take the lead against Real Madrid. It's probably time to bet on Real Madrid:

2.35 - 3.04 - 3.28

Yes, I've done it, but I didn't take the 1X2 bet, cause a handicap is the wisest bet if a strong team is behind .

It is unlikely that in other circumstances you can get a bet higher than 3 when Real Madrid plays. There are more than 30 minutes until the end of the game and I think that they will be able to correct the situation.

Real Madrid will find it difficult to win this match, currently, there are only around 15 minutes left before the match ends and the score is still Las Palmas 1 - 1 Real Madrid. For me, there's no need for Real Madrid to win, the current score is more than enough. Let's see what will happen next.

A goal from Tchouameni in the 84th minute gave Real Madrid a lead over Las Palmas in La Liga. I was not surprised to see that Real Madrid struggled to win against Las Palmas today. Las Palmas have been in amazing form in La Liga recently, which could give their opponent a tough time. Finally, Real Madrid are leading the La Liga table with 2 points off Girona.

Rodrigo, a very important player in the Real Madrid team, did not perform well enough as he earned a yellow card early on. But the first moments of halftime were very good, with plenty of competition between the two teams. Meanwhile, Las Palmas went ahead by a goal and shocked the Real Madrid players, successive Real Madrid players began to perform better and Vinicius Jr. scored a goal with the magic of his feet to equalize the team. Later on in the end of the match, Real Madrid's young player Aurelien Tchouamene scored another goal with a header to ensure the victory for Real Madrid. Real Madrid team is occupying the first place in the points table at the moment.

[Kristiyana]

But Xavi is no longer confident after Barcelona will not extend his contract, meaning this season is the last for him to train Barcelona.

It is difficult to understand why they lost at home with a big score of course whether there is a lack of confidence while the underdog team is much better than Barcelona if they lose it will be difficult to win the LaLaig title, even if Real Madrid then it is definitely a candidate this season to win the LaLiga trophy.

[Popkon6]

Real Madrid team can win I was sure that Real Madrid team is stronger than Las Palmas team. But there were many competitive moments early in the game and until half-time the performance was fairly even between the two teams as neither team managed to score. Real Madrid were the most attacking side and had 13 shots on goal throughout the game and Las Palmas had 7. Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr. scored a magic goal with his feet to equalize for Real Madrid. Another goal later saw Real Madrid take the win but I see more of an attacking difference here. The Real Madrid team has always been aggressive and the team is on the top of the points table with three points which is marked as the best team of this season.

Barcelona are no longer considered the top club in football especially in La Liga. Real Madrid always go for the winning points, Las Palmas been the first team to net a goal and at the end of the day, an epic comeback was carry out. Carlo Ancelotti knows exactly what he's doing to carry out the big tasks at Santiago Bernabéu stadium, we would be watching the every step of Real Madrid because Carlo Ancelotti have ensure his ways become more clearer with his team and the supporters. Real Madrid is regarded as the King of comeback in La Liga and no longer Barcelona.

[Solokan]

now it seems very difficult to predict the outcome of a match, sometimes a weak team can win against a strong team in the Barcelona vs Villarreal match. I bet on Barcelona winning but my prediction failed.

 Barcelona failing to make it to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey was very unexpected. and now Barcelona has been defeated by the team that is ranked 14th in Laliga, namely Villarreal with a score of 3-5, it seems this will definitely make Barcelona supporters sad and it is a shame that Xavi cannot make Barcelona win because Barcelona is currently the 3th ranked team in Laliga. and last season's champions in Laliga have now been defeated by Villareal.

After Villarreal drew against Mallorca, Villarreal is now happy and I think Villarreal is very great in this match because they managed to beat a team that is strong in Laliga, namely Barcelona. Now Marcelino Garcia Toral has made good progress for his team because they managed to win against Barcelona. and I am sure that now Villarreal will get new enthusiasm because they have succeeded in beating a strong team, namely Barcelona. and I'm sure that in Villarreal's next match against Cadiz, I think Villarreal has the potential to win because if you look at Cadiz's history in his last match he always lost.

La Liga is back on track with Real Madrid at the first position, Girona drop to a second position and with this defeat, Barcelona have to say goodbye to the title they are defending.

Barcelona have two competitors behind, Athletic Club and Athletico Madrid which are ready to kick Barcelona out of top four. Barcelona will have to be careful if they don't want to end this season with nightmare in La Liga. This defeat shows that Barcelona have very weak defense that is harmful for their performances in many matches.

Xavi announced that he will leave when the season ends and I see it as a wise decision from Xavi. He won one La Liga with Barcelona and can not defend it with them in this season. Leaving now will help him to save some sweet memory in Barcelona fans and can avoid a sack.

Barcelona was trailing 0-2 in the 54th minute then managed to turn the situation around to 3-2, but Barcelona had to swallow the bitter pill after Villarreal scored 3 additional goals in the remaining match time. Villarreal mentality apparently doesn't break down easily even though their status is a visiting team and they are already behind Barcelona, they continue to try to find gaps even though Barcelona has control of the ball.

There is no longer any need to assess Barcelona performance after achieving bad results from a team that had never won in its last three matches. Before beating Barcelona by scoring five goals at once, Villarreal had lost 11 times and conceded 42 goals. Xavi-Out is starting to be discussed due to the poor results achieved by Barcelona, maybe next season Barcelona will look for a replacement for Xavi because the level of trust in him is decreasing.

The Real Madrid team has always been aggressive and the team is on the top of the points table with three points which is marked as the best team of this season.

Real Madrid won by a narrow score against Las Palmas, namely 2:1, I was almost anxious when I saw that Las Palmas was able to create its first lead by Javi Munoz in the 53rd minutes and in the second possession the club played very well with fair possession accuracy. Real Madrid started to provide more aggressive attack when Real Madrid conceded a goal and sure enough Vinicius Jr was able to equalize in the 65th minute after that Aurélien Tchouaméni scored Real Madrid's second goal and led Real Madrid to victory.

This victory is very important for Real Madrid because they want to reclaim the top position of the standings which was previously taken over by Girona, now Real Madrid is at the top with the end of the same match and Real Madrid has 2 points more than Girona, I think Real Madrid must expand distance from Girona if you want to sit comfortably at the top because Girona still has a big chances of occupying the top if Real Madrid is careless or suffers just one defeat. Therefore Real Madrid must continues to appear consistent before Girona suffers defeated.

Barcelona now face a big problem. Financially this club is weak. And this is why the coach is not able to form a strong enough squad. Even so, Barcelona have plenty of talented players in their squad. But even then, Barcelona's overall performance is very poor.

Barcelona's main weakness is their defense. This team conceded 29 goals in 21 matches. Barcelona have conceded a lot of goals even against relatively weak teams. Barcelona should have strengthened their defense in the winter transfer window. But they did not take any such action. I don't see any possibility of Barcelona's performance improving this season.

Barcelona's current performance in La Liga cannot be considered as a truly top club. We saw Real Madrid lose yesterday against Palmas as they went on to win the match brilliantly to collect points and occupy the bottom positions. But with Barcelona's current performance, they are losing badly to the opposition, it is not really expected from them, they are currently deprived of the top spot. Real Madrid coach Ancelotti is giving such great moves where it is really interesting how they can attack every match to win the match and he is successfully fulfilling it. Real Madrid is the only strong and the king of La Liga who have won many champions not only now but also in the past, so they are currently ruling the La Liga. But the current condition of Barcelona is very bad they are not able to improve their game in any match, last match they won the match with big margin against Villarreal and they lost their composure and lost points. A team like Barcelona is losing with the bottom of the points table and Barca are currently far below the top of the points table.

Even though Barcelona lost 3-5 against Villarreal, I saw that Barcelona performed very well by trying to shoot at goal 10 times but not being successful. Barcelona also played well with fairly good ball control with an estimate of around 72% if you look at the statistics. suitable. And Barcelona also plays with good cooperation between players by frequently passing the ball between players.
With Xavi's departure from Barcelona after the defeat against Villarreal, it was really surprising news, even though Xavi's contract period had not yet ended, Xavi made the decision to end it early. And with this change, hopefully in the future Barcelona can be even better and look for a replacement coach who can make Barcelona a strong and unbeatable team.

[Solokan]

La Liga is back on track with Real Madrid at the first position, Girona drop to a second position and with this defeat, Barcelona have to say goodbye to the title they are defending.

Barcelona will have to be careful if they don't want to end this season with nightmare in La Liga.

Xavi announced that he will leave when the season ends and I see it as a wise decision from Xavi. He won one La Liga with Barcelona and can not defend it with them in this season. Leaving now will help him to save some sweet memory in Barcelona fans and can avoid a sack.

Vinicius junior and A.Tchouameni have become heroes in Madrid's match against Las Palmas and ultimately ended with a score of 1-2, yes of course this match has brought Madrid to shift Girona's position at the top of the standings and finally Madrid is now leading at the top of the standings.

Yes, Barcelona's defeat against Villarreal with a score of 3-5 has made us doubt whether Barcelona will recover from its downturn or not. Now Barcelona is still in 3rd place and has 44 points, but I think Barcelona's achievements this season are not too bad, but there is a slight decline. Of course, the match is still not finished and I think the current achievement of being in 3rd place is also an extraordinary achievement and I personally don't want to say goodbye because I believe that Barcelona still has the potential to continue to be a strong team in Laliga but indeed to become champions. in Laliga it looks like it will be difficult for Barcelona but I think being in 3rd or 4th position is also an extraordinary achievement. In the next match in Laliga Barcelona will face Osasuna of course we will see who will win the match but of course I want to bet on Barcelona winning.

 Atletico Madrid and Bilbao definitely want to overtake Barcelona's position and today of course we will see the results of Bilbao's match against Cadiz but I personally believe that Bilbao will win the match, but yes sometimes the result of the match is always difficult to predict and ofCourse in the next match Bilbao against Cadiz it will definitely be Barcelona and Atletico Madrid want Bilbao to lose.

Yes, Xavi is a wise person if he really wants to, yes, I think that's the right decision.

[bering]

Barcelona has 22 total of shots during the match but it doesn't make them can able to beat Villarreal even Barcelona have to conceded 2 goals within 3 minutes at the end of the match and this makes Barcelona have lost from Villarreal and this is their 3rd loses during this season after several times ago lost from Real Madrid and Girona and currently Barcelona has 10 difference points below to Real Madrid and after this result i think Barcelona have to give up for race title with Real Madrid and Girona because it's near to impossible for Barcelona to pursuing these teams

Xavi feel dissapointing to see this result and Xavi said he was failed to be the manager of Barcelona so that's why he decide to leave this team at the end of season because Xavi feel Barcelona needed big change and Xavi feel he is not the right manager for this team but he will give his best for Barcelona before he leave and before the match against Villarreal Xavi indeed was under pressure because some fans didn't accept the loses from Real Madrid at the final of Super Copa and seems now he cannot hold much longer and decide to withdraw from his position as Barcelona manager

[marcous]

Barcelona should have strengthened their defense in the winter transfer window. But they did not take any such action. I don't see any possibility of Barcelona's performance improving this season.

Barcelona best effort this season is to maintain its position in the top four of the standings. It is very difficult for Barcelona to compete to defend the trophy, where Madrid and Girona appear very consistent. We can see the latest defeat to Valencia as another setback to their strength, conceding 5 goals in one game is something that needs to be underlined, Xavi has stated that he will step down as head coach at the end of the season. It is true that the financial crisis they are experiencing has had an impact on the club growth, Xavi steps have been hampered in the transfer window because he does not have an adequate budget to recruit new players.

Maybe in the Champions League they can get past the round of 16, Napoli certainly have better attributes than opponents like Valencia, Xavi must motivate his squad so they can show a different performance. Barcelona defense line is very porous, Xavi has tried his best to field his best squad, but we can't blame him completely. Currently, Barcelona is 8 points adrift of Girona and 10 points from Madrid, ATM and Bilbao are threats that must be carefully watched because they have the potential to shift their position in third place.

Barcelona is experiencing a very complicated situation, they seem to have fallen off the path of challenging for the title after losing 5-3 to Villarreal. The reason for the financial crisis is very acceptable, Xavi is hampered by building a club that can compete closely with Madrid and Girona this season. Their strength is very different from last season, Xavi has announced that he will leave at the end of the season, but he has unfinished work and must fight again to stabilize the club with the limited squad depth. Xavi is required to bring Barcelona to finish in the top four of the standings, and fight to go further in the Champions League before throwing in the towel at the end of the season.

I see their biggest weakness this season is in defense, even though their attackers score a lot of goals it won't help much if they can't maintain their lead. Villarreal managed to beat Barcelona at home, this series of defeats made Xavi feel that his time with the club had to end, if management fired him then the club would have to pay Xavi a certain amount of compensation money, Xavi decision to resign was deemed more appropriate in the midst of a crisis like the current one.
