La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Belarge]

The contest was quite good because Barcelona outperformed on Osasuna in today's encounter. Although Osasuna was playing better in the first half due to their strong defense, the only thing that killed them was the lack of midfielders and front players, otherwise they were expected to win the match. Because in the first half, Barcelona's performance was so bad, and I was even assuming that Osasuna's was going to defeat them, but when they come from the second half, Barcelona improves their performance and begins to exert pressure on the Osasuna's, and achieving their goal and securing their one goal until the end of the match, which iwas very fantastic.

Victory and three points grab for Barcelona, stepping up for another golden chance. Xavi Hernandez wouldn't welcome any form of relenting actions coming from oppositions because he has suffered enough at Camp Nou and adding another loss to the ones he has already doesn't seem fit. Every oppositions that meets Barcelona gives them tough time but I don't think Osasuna case was the same, because Barcelona have learnt real lesson from their previous match and they kept the pressure on full-time, they finally gets to net goals.

I believe Real Madrid will win this match against Getafe; even though Getafe's performance this season has been somewhat strong, Real Madrid defeated Getafe in their first meeting, so even in this second meeting, Real Madrid can defeat them again. However, one thing I'm worried about with Real Madrid right now is goals; in their last two games, Real Madrid has struggled to score early goals. If Real Madrid keeps doing that, it could hurt them. Although I am aware that Real Madrid is the type of team that can win a game even if it is not yet over, I believe that this season Real Madrid needs to score goals early because there are teams that will defend their home field if they score early goals, making it impossible for the opposition to score again.

In my opinion, Real Madrid needs to take the match against Getafe seriously because the Getafe is not a team that they will easily defeat; instead, they have a player named Greenwood who is excellent at dribbling and providing assists, and Real Madrid's defensive players are not as strong as they once were. If Ancelotti starts the game, I would like him to start with Tchoumeni because he is a strong and talented player who plays position 4 for Real Madrid.

In the upcoming match between Real Madrid and Getafe, the challenge might be significant, but I have confidence that Real Madrid will navigate through it successfully and emerge victorious. Comparatively, Getafe's performances haven't been exceptionally impressive when weighed against Real Madrid's consistent excellence. The reason I anticipate a tough game is because it's Getafe's home match. Typically, teams tend to display heightened strength when playing in their home environment. Therefore, it's plausible that Getafe will appear formidable tomorrow.

However, my belief in Real Madrid's prowess remains unwavering. Real Madrid is a team that doesn't take any match lightly; they approach every game with a determination to succeed. Even if the match turns out to be fiercely contested, I don't anticipate anything less than a draw from Real Madrid. Their commitment to maintaining a high standard of performance, coupled with their skilled players, gives me confidence that they will handle the challenges posed by Getafe's home advantage and secure a positive outcome in the game.

Vitor Roque's goal gave Barcelona the lead. And after that, Osasuna's defense got a little weaker due to Raul Garcia getting a red card. Barcelona stepped up their attack. But could not score any more goals. I thought we'd see goals from Torres and Lewandowski today. But the performance of these two players was not satisfactory today. At the end of 85 minutes, Barcelona is leading 1-0. Probably the match will end 1-0.

The first goal from a Roque who in fact is currently a hope for young players to develop further is actually very good in my opinion because in the condition of Lewandowski who is still struggling in finishing at least there is a new aura from Roque that can be an option even though his appearance is still very lacking for a club like Barcelona.

Even though this is a narrow victory for Barcelona at least they can get 3 points in this match even though their problems are still not able to be overcome by Xavi where so many opportunities are wasted even if you look at the statistics of 16 shots only 4 on target it is really bad for a club like Barcelona especially they play against 10 players from Osasuna.
Well 3 points won but I am still not satisfied with their current performance.

[Oluwa-btc]

Barcelona will probably win against Osasuna today but their general effort is preventing them from joining the title competition anyway. They are even under the threat of staying out of top four right now. This is far away from the Barcelona we know. I'm curious about who will be their next manager already. Frank Rijkaard is speculated recently.

Rijkaard managed Barcelona like 20 years ago as well and his time was really successful for Barcelona. He won a Champions League title and won the La Liga one twice. I wonder how he will manage this Barcelona if he is really brought after Xavi.  

I barely know who's that! But I'll go do the checks definitely. For the game Robert Lewandoski got to make it two goals so they could go ahead and seal up the game but it was flagged offside.
Great game, Osasuna did give them issues and almost scored to level the scores but it went through right below the cross bar. At least we now know the fate of Xavi Hernandez at the end of the season, win or lose or even get qualified for the Champions League Competition, he'll definitely leave the club for good.

For his perfect replacement, I'll go down with Roberto De Zebri, who knows how to manage these young lads over his years as head coach in Europe. Already familiar with Fati, he could be his weapon of destruction whenever he does returns from Injury.

[Abu-Naim]

Barcelona were having a hard time winning and were lucky they were still given the opportunity to experience something they had been waiting for for quite a long time. The narrow 1-0 win against Osasuna was a very important asset for the confidence of the players and even though they were at a disadvantage because Ferran Torres was injured in the first half, in the end they were still able to survive this match without drawing or losing.

Vitor Roque, who was the super sub in this match, immediately scored his debut goal with Barcelona and Xavi's decision to keep him on the bench and introduce him in the second half was very correct. Right after Vitor Roque scored a goal, one of Osasuna's players, Unai Garcia, received a second yellow card which forced him to leave the field.

Even though Barcelona had the superior number of players, they still couldn't increase their advantage and Osasuna actually started to put a little pressure on them after that incident. I think winning like sometimes is not necessarily safe for Barcelona and they have to increase the goal margin in the next match to avoid unwanted results. Once again, congratulations to Vitor Roque who scored the only goal in the match and also became a hero for Barcelona to secure full points at home.

Congratulations to them on winning this one, but to frank, I am not happy with Barcelona's performance overall this season; Look at the points they accumulated, and their position, they are almost seven points behind Real Madrid that is still having one outstanding match, and they are eight points behind the league leaders Girona which is not supposed to be like that for team like Barcelona that we expected to be the top title contender together with Real Madrid. Nevertheless, I think Barcelona is having some internal issues withing the management which might have been the main reason why Xavi announcing his statement to quit his job at the end of this season.

Kudos to Victor Roque for scoring his first LaLiga goal in a crucial moment where the goal is needed. He has already proven his quality in team so that even if Xavi leave at the end of the season, his performance will fight for space for him in the team.

[Leviathan.007]

Barcelona hasn't been able to get what they wanted for a few matches. They have suffered consecutive defeats and they are very unhappy with this situation. Xavi will leave the team at the end of the year. Of course, there are responsibilities that come with this. For example, he will try to take the team to the best ranking because a bad squad and ranking does not suit Barcelona. As for the Osasuna match, the first half has ended and no goals have been scored in the match yet. 0-0 continues. Barcelona should be able to score the winning goal in the second half.

I have the same feelings that Barcelona will win this at the end of the day. But Osasuna is played very defensive performance today and that is why Barcelona can't make any score even they have the 70% ball position on the match. So I wanna say that hat's off to Aitor Fernández already this man save two intensive shots.
Anyway, Barcelona scored their first goal as I posted, 64' off Roque's brilliant assist from cancelo. Anyway, now it has been confirmed that Barcelona is going to win the match. Osasuna's winning statistics with Barcelona is very low and in terms of strength, Barcelona is weaker than before but they are still a strong team against Osasuna.

Barcelona have not been at their best in recent weeks and that's because of the fact that their some of their key players have been out injured. Their manager Xavi Hernandez because of how passionate he is when it comes to things that concerns the club is doing his best to make sure they're still winning games.
Tonight they're currently playing against Osasuna in the Spanish La Liga and are currently leading by a goal to nil thanks to Victor Roque's 63rd minute goal. The young Brazilian teenager who joined the club this month was very fast to start adapt as he's already making impact in games. Hopefully, Barcelona are gonna win the game tonight

The young star scored with Vitor Roque and was relieved against Barcelona and Osasuna. After the goal, Osasuna player Garcia received a red card. Now Barcelona can play a more comfortable game in the remaining minutes. I like their way of playing, but the players are not at a sufficient level. Since they do not have a large and qualified squad like Real Madrid, the team falls into a terrible situation when key players get injured.

'

Also in Barcelona, there is another player, João Félix, and it seems Barcelona can't use João Félix for the next games because he still needs some more rest. Against Osasuna, they couldn't use João Félix, and this player is still away from the team. João Félix needs one month to recover and like this, he will lose the game against Napoli in the Champions League which is an important match for Barcelona but they can use João Félix in this match.

[nurilham]

Xavi's decision of leaving Barca is still surprisng to me, I thought he was going to stay at Camp nou for a while,but him wanting to leave at the end of the season means that a club have shown interest in him already,maybe he will move to one of the big clubs in Europe.These types of coaches don't like staying in a club for a long period of time because they want to make history before they hand over to another person.

Everyone must feel surprised with Xavi's decision but he already decided to leave and we must understand it. Xavi may get a pressure from Barcelona management to achieve something impossible for Barcelona squad now. He already tried to rebuild Barcelona squad but the quality isn't competitive enough because Xavi is difficult to buy expected players for the team. I'm sure Xavi actually has a dream to sign some new players but Barcelona has no ability to spend much money on new players due to the crisis of financial. So, he doesn't get an agreement with Barcelona management about further development on Barcelona squad and decides to leave. Although it seems too easy to leave Barcelona, Xavi already contributed quite a lot for Barcelona team. He deserves to get a new team for the next season.

Dude, he may expect to stay a long time with Barcelona. But he may have a serious problem there, so he can't stay a longer time anymore.

I think Xavi should stay longer at Barcelona. This separation is a result of impatience. Compared to other teams, Barcelona didn't build the squad they wanted and didn't achieve success. Xavi wasn't given the necessary resources and it's difficult for him to compete with other teams with the players he has. For years the Barcelona squad was full of world stars and they were successful, but now the chemistry is not there. As a result of situations like this, someone has to leave the team. This time it looks like it will be Xavi.

Fans of big teams always expect success. When success is not achieved, someone is held responsible. Barcelona have not been playing the football they want for a long time and have not been able to make the transfers they want. When all this comes together, it is natural for Xavi to take such a decision.

[red4slash]

By looking at the current condition even though their performance is bad  but im still sure they can still survive just in a position that is not too favourable for Sevilla.They have played very badly this season (just like the previous season) but indeed the difference between this time and last season is that when last season they were still able to manage the performance they had in La Liga and other competitions so that they could still get an advantage there but for now it is really bad.

In terms of point they can still stay in La Liga but of course this depends on their performance because looking at the current points acquisition they are still very close to the relegation zone because indeed only 1 point is the difference between them and Cadiz who are in the relegation zone.

Chance of improvement is always available, so I am also feeling Sevilla is also having chance for the better performance and staying into better zone, but they need to bring better things which are surely not easy because they are currently worst team in this league with just one win in last ten matches and concede 19 goals which surely making their life difficult with have potential to improve, but it's not easy currently we have Almeria and Granada at the bottom and Cadiz and Celta Vigo are having some troubling time as well which is giving lifeline to Sevilla but if they are not able to bring improvement then surely we can watch them in the danger zone.

Three teams are at same level with same performance surely need to be better and which will have good improvement could be stayed in safe zone others have to face problems with most chances relegation could be also happened which will bring more trouble.

It's up to them in the end because the opportunity is always there but are they able to utilise it.
The current situation for Sevilla is honestly quite complicated because in terms of possession when playing they have no problems and their chances are also always quite good but indeed on the other hand we also see a lack of coordination and teamwork that is a little disturbed making Sevilla struggling to improve its current position.
Poor defence and lack of cooperation because looking at their defence it seems that until now Sevilla players rely more on each other which makes them worse.

If in the end they can fix that then it is likely that they will survive but if their performance is still the same then they will definitely struggle to try to secure themselves even though their position is not favourable in the end.

Well 3 points won but I am still not satisfied with their current performance.

I can't say yet if Roque is a supersub player, because his performance in 4 matches has not been satisfactory at all. however, it is very natural that this young player from Brazil still needs adaptation and he has not been given the opportunity to play more minutes. but in this match, after replacing Fermin Lopez, one minute later Vitor Roque was able to prove that he also deserved to be given playing time by scoring a goal which also became the only goal for Barcelona's victory. It seems that this young player from Brazil will be given more minutes of playing time. moreover, if Ferran Torres has to be absent due to injury. I'm sure that slowly Roque will show his skill in his game, because he just needs time to adapt.

Yeah, we agree, even though the victory was narrow and Barcelona had to work hard to win this match. but with this victory, it could be the start of Barcelona performing as it should. As for Lewandowski, unfortunately his goal was disallowed for offside. Plus, his consistency is starting to wane in terms of scoring goals. maybe with a combination of Roque, Lamine Yamal, and also Joao Felix. can solve problems on Barcelona's front line in terms of goal scoring productivity. In the next matches, especially against mid-table teams, Barcelona should be able to take advantage of the momentum to improve the quality of their play ahead of the Champions League last 16 match against Napoli.

Xavi Hernandez has opened his voice regarding his reasons for stepping down as coach at the end of this season because of mental problems and not being appreciated. It was said that Xavi's resignation was due to the treatment he received while serving as coach of El Barca.
Xavi Hernandez suddenly announced that he would resign from Barcelona at the end of the 2024 season. Xavi made this announcement after Barcelona was beaten 3-5 by Villareal in the Spanish League. This is a mental and football problem. Failure after failure makes this team weaker and lowers the level of the players. The level of football decreases because of the mental level. That's why it announced the decision to step down. there will be many clubs who will accept Xavi after leaving Barcelona.

[tyz]

I think Xavi should stay longer at Barcelona.

Absolutely agree! Barca dominated the league last year. This year they are struggling, but this is more due to the financial limitations of the club and players like Lewandowski or Gundogan are not in form or have already passed their peak. Xabi is partly responsible for the transfer policy, so he should move on and build a new team. But I think that with the experience he has, he knows exactly what the situation is and has made the decision based on that. Therefore we must respect his decision.

I think a lot depends on the quality of the players around you as well. I mean Gundogan was building Europe's strongest midfield with De Bruyne in the Premier League and the Champions League last season. It was incredible how many important goals Gundogan scored and how many goals De Bruyne and Gundogan combined assisted. But what is the reason for Gundogan to not play as well in Barcelona as he did in Manchester City? Or why is Lewandowksi not as good in Barcelona as he was in Bayern Munich?

Definitely, one reason is that they are past their peaks. But I think that both of these players would still be performing better if they played for the same clubs where they actually peaked. There is only so much a good player can do if the players around are suddenly a whole level weaker than before.

[Mame89]

The first goal from a Roque who in fact is currently a hope for young players to develop further is actually very good in my opinion because in the condition of Lewandowski who is still struggling in finishing at least there is a new aura from Roque that can be an option even though his appearance is still very lacking for a club like Barcelona.

Well 3 points won but I am still not satisfied with their current performance.

With their confidence decreasing after losing several times in previous matches, being able to get three points in this match is something the Barcelona players should be proud of, especially Xavi, who was under a lot of pressure which made him decide to resign from Barcelona at the end of the season.

However, if you look at Barcelona in this match, actually their game in this match was very good, they should have scored more than one goal because Barcelona had many opportunities to score goals but unfortunately none of them were able to finish well.

However, overall this result is good for Barcelona to increase their confidence. Barcelona must continue to improve so that they can achieve positive results in the next three matches before having to face Napoli in the last 16 of the UCL League. Because I think Barcelona's only hope is in the UCL League, at least being able to reach the semifinals is a good thing for Xavi's farewell so it won't be too disappointing. In La Liga, Barcelona's hopes of retaining the La Liga title this season seem to have disappeared.

Yeah that's true, the only reason why Barcelona is struggling this much is because of the financial problem they are currently facing, it was really very unfortunate that the issue has really affected the team a lot in such a way that they no longer perform the way they use to and even wining matches has seriously become a problem for them on this season were as so many smaller teams has now see Barcelona as one of the weakest team to easily beat.

However they really tried on there today's match against Osasuna they have managed to try there possible best and secure the three points, however Osasuna really gave them a serious tough time during the first half of the match because they were able to hold Barcelona very tight that they were unable to score on the first half but however it seems Osasuna performance was not the same when they came back to the second half because it was not long Barcelona score them the goal and perhaps what weakens there performance most was the red card they had so Barcelona use it as an opportunity to dominate them the more and never give them the opportunity to fight back.

Same here, I think one of the things about being a big team is the ability to keep winning trophies every season and keep dominating in the league without that, the coach of the team will be regarded as incapable of coaching the team. For the Brace team, I think Xabi tried his best by winning the La liga trophy last season but I think that isn't enough as he needs to keep winning trophies every season to keep the Barcelona team as one of the best club.

Barcelona vs Osasuna

That's dope, guys; Barcelona have won the match. Initially, the match was quite good for Barcelona because, in the first half, Barcelona put through many chances but nothing happened. Despite Osasuna playing a little bit poorly in the attacking sense, from a defensive point of view Osasuna is just putting pressure on Barcelona players with fouls. If we look at the discipline status, Osasuna has committed fouls on Barcelona players many times by number 12. At last, Osasuna lost one player due to hard press-up fouls regarding Barcelona.

But anyway, the turning point in the game was an 18-year-old Vitor Roque goal at 63 minutes. He scored the first ever goal for Barcelona, and the interesting thing is that he didn't just score a goal he gave Barcelona victory with his first debut goal, and above all, Barcelona gained 3 points in La Liga competition.

Barcelona is a team that used to win trophies so it is normal for them to ask every coach to keep the same level even if they cut the budget dedicated to improve the team and regardless of the help provided to him by Barcelona stuff. That's the price that should be paid by him and Xavi know the rules before he starts with Barcelona. Saving the team last season wouldn't guarantee a green card for the next season.
At the opposite when you train a team like Atletico Madrid and make it in the top 4, they will keep you forever as a coach

The financial constraints have indeed had repercussions on the team's performance and its ability to compete at the level expected of a club with Barcelona's historical stature. It's so unlucky for Xavi to manage Barca at this time of situation, because financial troubles can affect player acquisitions, squad depth, and overall competitiveness. In such situations, Xavi succeeded to guide Barcelona achieving La Liga title last season that proves Xavi has capacity and capability as a great coach.

The fact that Barcelona managed to secure three points against Osasuna shows that Barca still has resilience and determination despite the adverse circumstances. The red card for Osasuna further shifted the dynamics of the match that allows Barcelona to capitalize on the numerical advantage. Barcelona's ability to exploit such opportunities and dominate the game in the second half demonstrates their adaptability and strategic prowess. Positive performances like this can serve as morale boosters for the team and its supporters. I hope it can impact in positive way for Barca and Xavi to keep progressing in Champions League.

Barcelona have been on the news a lot this season because of how much they have been losing games and point. The La Liga race is no longer on for Barcelona, but there is shame if they keep losing and then become not able to even qualify for the champions league next season. The coach of Barcelona has heightened the chances of him not remaining coach in a few weeks, but he would like to not leave them in a very bad place that the coach who takes over will struggle over.
