La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Jody.Drummer]

Instead of taking advantage of Girona's previous draw by winning, Real Madrid instead played a draw against Atletico and even though they only got one point, Real Madrid still topped the standings with a difference of 2 points from Girona. It should have been a 4 point difference if they had won against Atletico but Marcos Llorrente's goal denied them the victory that was in sight. Real Madrid repeatedly had opportunities but their finishing was far from expected.

Apart from that, Ancelotti's selection of players in the second half was also poor and instead of adding attacking type players, Ancelotti seemed to just want to play it safe with that slight advantage. Ancelotti should have included Vinicius instead of Dani Ceballos. The result was that with minimal defenders, Real Madrid conceded in the final minute because Atletico always attacked attacks through aerial passes and took advantage of the height of their players. Real Madrid had to accept this draw because with the limited options in defense they at least did not lose to Atletico.

A very painful result for Real Madrid because they had to draw after Atletico Madrid managed to equalize in extra time. However, I can understand this result, because these two clubs are strong clubs, and in the last two meetings, they also beat each other, so this result is not that surprising to me.
But I agree with you about the transition of substitutions, why doesn't Ancelotti try to add to their goals rather than trying to keep the score. Because winning by 1 goal would be very risky for them, because the opponent could also equalize the score with 1 goal, and sure enough that happened in the final minutes. I think Real Madrid in this match was very quickly satisfied, so the satisfaction they felt in such a rushed time meant that in the end they had to be satisfied with a draw.

Actually, Real played a very dominant game. After the turnovers, they immediately pressed and won the ball back. Atletico tried to take advantage of Real's lack of centre backs by trying to score a header throughout the match and at the end of the match, when there was no centre back to score a header, Atletico scored. I didn't understand why Brahimin, who played brilliantly throughout the match, came off before Rodrygo and Ceballos came on. Real lost 2 points in a very good game because of wrong last passes, selfishness and wrong substitutions. If they beat Girona next week, it's still over.

[Oluwa-btc]

This derby never fails to entertain and beside doing that this time it also made possible for the La Liga title fight to be wide open and now the next game is crucial between the two leading teams with just 2 points difference between each other.This very weekend we are going to watch this entertaining game and see how it will unfold further for the La Liga.Real is advantaged as it plays at home while Girona needs the win badly here in order to overtake Real once again in the standings.

This draw meant that Real Madrid failed to widen the points gap with Girona because this week Girona also achieved a draw.
Madrid derbies are always fierce and in this match it was really dramatic for Atletico Madrid who managed to score a goal to equalize at the end of this match, just as Real Madrid often did several years ago during the Madrid derby match.

However, I don't think this result is a surprise, this is quite a decent result for both teams because in every fierce Madrid derby match, Real Madrid is quite difficult to win even though Atletico Madrid's overall performance this season is not that impressive.

And regarding the competition for the title, I think there is nothing different, even though there is only a 2 point difference from Girona who is in 2nd place, Real Madrid is still quite the favorite.

Madrid derbies are not easy lately, it's a do or die affair for both sides, I could recall how the was so aggressive against Real Madrid during the first half of the season and went ahead to win the game. Good to see them sharing points at least a good chance for Girona to catch up next week. But will that even happen? Lol

They'll be without the coach who was red carded yesterday night and both the Captain, Herrera and Dutchman and defender Daley Blind. I think that shouldn't have been thought I don't know what was said but it don't seem aggressive. That match official indeed had temper issues.

Real Madrid yesterday faced one of the strongest teams in the Spanish La Liga sobi wasn't expecting them to easily beat a team that's defeated the on two different occasions this season. Firstly, Real Madrid suffered a defeat to Atletico this season in their first encounter of the season in my the Spanish La Liga before they were eliminated from the Copa Dey Rey from the same Diego Simeone's team.

I expected real Madrid to win the game yesterday and they also lived up to my expectations by being the best team on the pitch in that very game but unfortunately for them, they weren't able to defeat their visitors who scored a stoppage time goal to force Real Madrid to a draw in that game.

Again Vinicius Jr who's currently trying to heal from a minor knock didn't feature in that game as Carlo Ancelotti decided not to take any risk by bringing in the Brazilian in to that game. Real Madrid are still at the top of the Spanish league table and I think they'll definitely end the season with the league title

[Xxmodded]

Madrid derbies are not easy lately, it's a do or die affair for both sides, I could recall how the was so aggressive against Real Madrid during the first half of the season and went ahead to win the game. Good to see them sharing points at least a good chance for Girona to catch up next week. But will that even happen? Lol

They'll be without the coach who was red carded yesterday night and both the Captain, Herrera and Dutchman and defender Daley Blind. I think that shouldn't have been thought I don't know what was said but it don't seem aggressive. That match official indeed had temper issues.

First half, Real Madrid controlling the games and success lead awhile but not focus in additional time make them have losses three points and make lose position with Girona. I watched with the first half match and unbelievable Madrid have conceded in the last minutes before match end, one point not really help Real Madrid keep manage the top position standing with 2 points left from Girona.
I think many players injury make Carlo Ancelotti on difficult position exactly have losses three central defender, its hard for upcoming match Real Madrid will face Girona and if losses three points will make drop to 2nd place position. Need improving performance and keep focus until the end match if Madrid won't losses points on upcoming match.

[tusandii]

Despite Real Madrid's defense line being a little fragile due to injuries, Ancelotti's 4-3-3 formation proved effective against Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid's chance of winning was thwarted when Atletico Madrid scored a goal in the 93th minute. The competition for the league's top spot keeps becoming intense. Real Madrid had recently had five straight victories, but today Atletico Madrid interrupted what would have been their six straight wins. Girona is behind Real Madrid by two points in the LaLiga standings. Girona and Real Madrid will square off by next week to see who can top the LaLiga standings.

If you look at today match, Real Madrid's performance was quite good in pressing Atletico Madrid and it didn't even take long for them to score the first goal. But in this derby match, of course, it goes quite hard until the end of the match. Yes, the score 1-1 was the final result and both teams had to be satisfied with the one point they got from this match. In the course of today's match, Real Madrid certainly had many opportunities to score goals, but unfortunately several golden opportunities failed to be converted perfectly into goals.

With this result, of course Real Madrid failed to widen the points gap with Girona who is in second place in the standings. The two teams are still 2 points apart and of course the competitive tension will look even more impressive in the upcoming match. In fact, for Barcelona it seems like their opportunity has opened up again to compete for the title this season. because Barcelona is only 8 points behind Real Madrid and the season is still quite long, of course there is a chance for them.

Real Madrid were very lucky in yesterday's match that the first score scored by Atletico Madrid was disallowed for offside and if that score had not been disallowed, Real Madrid might have lost yesterday's match.
Yes, it is true that Real Madrid had a lot of opportunities, only Brahim Diaz was able to score and in fact, if the second chance that Brahim Diaz had could be utilized properly when he was in front of Atletico Madrid's goal, I think Real Madrid would be, but Atletico Madrid's defense is very strong. thus making it difficult for Real Madrid to score.
I would not be surprised if this match ended in a draw even though previously I predicted that Real Madrid would win the match, but usually when playing against Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid being the host, it is usually easy to win but Atletico Madrid's defense cannot be underestimated.

There must be a lot of people who lost betting on Real Madrid's win, even I myself also experienced the same thing, even though initially I wanted to bet on the total score, I had the thought of betting on Real Madrid's win, although I was a little disappointed, but at least Real Madrid's position was still a little safe even though they only had 2 points difference with Girona but at least Real Madrid can set a new strategy in the next match to get 3 points.

Rayo Vallecano vs Sevilla

Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano will meet in today's only match in La Liga. This is Rayo Vallecano's home match. The performance of both these teams is quite poor this season. So it is difficult to make predictions about this match.

Sevilla team won only 3 matches this season and vallecano won 5 matches. Sevilla's past record against Rayo Vallecano is not very good as Sevilla have not won against Vallecano in their last 4 matches. 3 matches were drawn and Rayo Vallecano won 1. And looking at the current performance of both teams, I think today's match is most likely to be a draw.

Well , do we even trust Sevilla here or at all lately ? I think not. That's why , personally , I can't bet a single cent on Sevilla and I also think a rebuild in LaLiga 2 would benefit them in the long run because the club has massive debts and this might be the only salvation for them.

You're right with that draw , as this game can't be spectacular and I also cannot expect a lot of goals but I can see Rayo scoring.

Real Madrid's miss gave Girona another chance as they looked to overtake Real Madrid again in the next match.  But although this is a big opportunity for Girona, it is doubtful whether Girona will be able to take advantage of the opportunity because the next match Girona will play against Real Madrid. That match is very important for both teams.  Whichever team wins that day will qualify for the number one position in the points table. If Real Madrid wins the match then Real Madrid will lead by more than 3 points which will make it very difficult for other teams to dislodge them from the first position.

I once said as in the previous post, that the matches that Girona and Real Madrid will play will be crucial matches last week. and yeah, the final result of the match between these two teams ended in a draw. Previously, Real Sociedad was unable to take advantage of the momentum to overthrow Real Sociedad at the Estadi Montivili, Girona's headquarters. Real Sociedad was able to hold the match to a draw like in the first meeting. In the end, Ginona only got one point in the match.

Likewise with the Madrid derby match, the battle between the two teams was quite fierce. although Madrid had more chances with 17 total shots, 4 on target and 2 big chances. however, Madrid was only able to convert one opportunity into a goal in the 20th minute. on the other hand, Diego Simeone's team should have been able to equalize in the 49th minute. unfortunately, the goal was canceled because one of the Atletico Madrid players was caught in the offside trap. Luckily for Atletico, in the 90+3 minute, Diego Simeone's team was able to equalize through Marcus LIorente's header from Memphis Depay's assist. in the end, this match ended in a draw. as I said, Madrid should not underestimate ATMs, even though they are playing at the Santiago Bernabeu. In the end, Real Madrid was the same as Girona who only got one point.
Talking about title competition, it would be fun if we just followed every match presented by La Liga. after all, competition is still quite tight and this competition still has a lot of matches left.

[KTChampions]

In the last 10 years, Real Madrid have only won the La Liga title 3 times, while Bayern have won 10 out of 10 titles, so I think this anology is inappropriate. If we take the current season, then surprisingly the picture is the opposite: Real Madrid has a higher chance of winning La Liga than Bayern has to win the Bundesliga.
Girona obviously cannot keep up with Real's pace and has begun to lose points frequently, Real's advantage over the other two historical rivals is 10 points, so I think that the question of the title holder is 95% closed.

You are right of course, but you based your comment on the wrong assumption. If you look at the past decade then there is no doubt that your statement is correct, but I was rather referring to the status quo in La Liga as of today for this season. I wouldn't have written this if Barcelona was on par with Real Madrid right now, but it is an underdog team from Girona and in the Bundesliga it is Leverkusen. That is why I brought up this comparison. What's the chance that an underdog wins the title being on par with Real Madrid when there are 15 games to go? It would still be a miracle. Now Brahim took the lead and within a few weeks this season could be over if Girona drops points in one or two more games and Real Madrid wins the next home game against Girona. That would be 7 points then.

Actually, I separately highlighted the situation for the current season: Real Madrid has a much higher chance of winning La Liga than Bayern, so this analogy does not work even within the current season. Look, the bookmakers currently see the odds for the Bundesliga title as follows:

Fc Bayern Munich 1.54

Bayer 04 Leverkusen 2.33

Now compare with the situation in La Liga:

Real Madrid 1.12

Girona 8.33

1.12 and 1.54 is a huge difference in odds. Bayern will not reach this figure even if they win the next game (which will be against Bayer).

If Real Madrid wins the match then Real Madrid will lead by more than 3 points which will make it very difficult for other teams to dislodge them from the first position.

Real Madrid and Girona both drew their last matches. So we have not seen any change in the points table. If Girona had won against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and Girona would now be level on points.

Everyone is now waiting to watch the Girona vs Madrid match. Whether Girona will be able to win the title will be determined by Girona's performance against Madrid. If Girona don't play well against Madrid and lose then I'd say Girona has no chance of winning the title. This year's La Liga champion will be Real Madrid. But if Girona can pick up a point in this match, the team will continue to push for the title until the end of the season.

[kro55]

Rayo Vallecano vs Sevilla

Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano will meet in today's only match in La Liga. This is Rayo Vallecano's home match. The performance of both these teams is quite poor this season. So it is difficult to make predictions about this match.

Sevilla team won only 3 matches this season and vallecano won 5 matches. Sevilla's past record against Rayo Vallecano is not very good as Sevilla have not won against Vallecano in their last 4 matches. 3 matches were drawn and Rayo Vallecano won 1. And looking at the current performance of both teams, I think today's match is most likely to be a draw.

Well , do we even trust Sevilla here or at all lately ? I think not. That's why , personally , I can't bet a single cent on Sevilla and I also think a rebuild in LaLiga 2 would benefit them in the long run because the club has massive debts and this might be the only salvation for them.

You're right with that draw , as this game can't be spectacular and I also cannot expect a lot of goals but I can see Rayo scoring. 

Betting on this match is very risky. I have no confidence in Sevilla's performance. This team has disappointed me many times this season. Several times I lost my money betting on Sevilla to win. And so I don't want to lose any more money. I will refrain myself from betting on this match.

Sevilla and Rayo's situation is very similar. The performance of the players of both the teams is very poor and erratic. So it is impossible to predict which team will win this match, or what will be the outcome of the match. Both teams are likely to win. Again, the possibility of a draw is not low.

[Solokan]

Real Madrid's match against Atletico Madrid only resulted in a 1-1 draw and now Real Madrid failed to get 3 points, of course making Real Madrid less than optimal in getting points. with the points obtained by Real Madrid, of course it opens up opportunities for Girona to be able to beat Real Madrid.

and I remember when Girona played against Atletico Madrid, at that time Girona won with a score of 4-3, but now Real Madrid failed to face Atletico Madrid with a 1-1 draw, yes, match results are always very difficult to predict. Now Madrid must really maintain the quality of its game and of course now the competition between Girona and Real Madrid is getting fiercer.

The next match, Real Madrid will face Girona, of course this is the long awaited match which brings together the strongest team in Laliga and the runner up team in Laliga. It looks like Michel will make a good strategy as well as Carlo Ancelotti will definitely make a good strategy but I personally in the match it is betting on Girona winning.

[QueenVera]

In this match, Real Madrid should be able to win the match against Atletico Madrid, because Real Madrid is playing at home, in my opinion this is a big advantage for Real Madrid. I also saw that Real Madrid dominated this match so much that Real Madrid got the first goal against Atletico Madrid. This goal made Real Madrid more confident in creating continuous pressure on Atletico Madrid's back line, but always failed and could not take advantage of the opportunities that occurred. In the end, Atletico Madrid scored a goal back against Real Madrid so the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Girona does not have a good history and highly skilled players like Real Madrid, but this season Girona appears very different from previous seasons. It can be seen that Girona is currently in 2nd place in the standings, this proves that Girona's performance is very good and very consistent in its matches this season. Maybe the prediction you made regarding the Real Madrid vs Girona match may not necessarily come true, there are indeed many parties who favor Real Madrid over Girona. In my opinion, in football competitions this season there are always lots of surprises that happen on the field and anything can happen. Girona will certainly not waste this opportunity, because they want to make history that has never happened in La Liga this season. So let's see next week, whether Real Madrid can beat Girona or vice versa. Real Madrid can beat Girona.

The Madrid Derby game ended with Atletico being the winners after Real Madrid held them back with a 1-1 draw. The encounter wasn't so rosy for both sides as currently in the league, they're both extinct in their performances. Real Madrid has had the upper hand in most of their games, as well as Atletico and it was only fair that the game ended as a draw as the points were shared between the teams even though it added just a little positive effect on their total points so far in the league this season.

 Nonetheless, Real Madrid are unwavering in their ability to keep up with good game tempo and I bet that yesterday's draw won't have a thing on them in their subsequent LA Liga face offs. They're exquisitely good on the pitch and good results are surely expected from them. For Atletico, let's just believe they'd be able to keep up with the paces.

[rendravolt]

Instead of taking advantage of Girona's previous draw by winning, Real Madrid instead played a draw against Atletico and even though they only got one point, Real Madrid still topped the standings with a difference of 2 points from Girona. It should have been a 4 point difference if they had won against Atletico but Marcos Llorrente's goal denied them the victory that was in sight. Real Madrid repeatedly had opportunities but their finishing was far from expected.

Apart from that, Ancelotti's selection of players in the second half was also poor and instead of adding attacking type players, Ancelotti seemed to just want to play it safe with that slight advantage. Ancelotti should have included Vinicius instead of Dani Ceballos. The result was that with minimal defenders, Real Madrid conceded in the final minute because Atletico always attacked attacks through aerial passes and took advantage of the height of their players. Real Madrid had to accept this draw because with the limited options in defense they at least did not lose to Atletico.

A very painful result for Real Madrid because they had to draw after Atletico Madrid managed to equalize in extra time. However, I can understand this result, because these two clubs are strong clubs, and in the last two meetings, they also beat each other, so this result is not that surprising to me.
But I agree with you about the transition of substitutions, why doesn't Ancelotti try to add to their goals rather than trying to keep the score. Because winning by 1 goal would be very risky for them, because the opponent could also equalize the score with 1 goal, and sure enough that happened in the final minutes. I think Real Madrid in this match was very quickly satisfied, so the satisfaction they felt in such a rushed time meant that in the end they had to be satisfied with a draw.

Imagine that Real Madrid put Dani Carvajal as a center back because Rudiger was injured in the previous match and that's all because the defender option wasn't available until now. I mean, Tchouameni is absent from serving a yellow card penalty, Militao is rumored to be back at the end of March, Alaba is still injured and Nacho is left as a pure center back, isn't this a very messy situation?

I don't know who is to blame for a situation like this and again, the club management also made a strange decision when this winter they did not borrow a single defender to overcome this. I already know that the defenders are still injured but still believe in the current squad. I can't stop wondering how long Real Madrid will depend on miracles in the midst of this increasingly fierce competition.

I think if Real Madrid played with a complete squad I don't think their concentration would be so broken and in last night's match I also saw the moment when Rodrygo had to go down to the defensive line to block an attack from Atletico. Real Madrid's situation is really chaotic at the moment and in the next match against Girona and this will be one of the determinants of winning the La Liga title this season.

[slapper]

This derby never fails to entertain and beside doing that this time it also made possible for the La Liga title fight to be wide open and now the next game is crucial between the two leading teams with just 2 points difference between each other.This very weekend we are going to watch this entertaining game and see how it will unfold further for the La Liga.Real is advantaged as it plays at home while Girona needs the win badly here in order to overtake Real once again in the standings.

This draw meant that Real Madrid failed to widen the points gap with Girona because this week Girona also achieved a draw.
Madrid derbies are always fierce and in this match it was really dramatic for Atletico Madrid who managed to score a goal to equalize at the end of this match, just as Real Madrid often did several years ago during the Madrid derby match.

However, I don't think this result is a surprise, this is quite a decent result for both teams because in every fierce Madrid derby match, Real Madrid is quite difficult to win even though Atletico Madrid's overall performance this season is not that impressive.

And regarding the competition for the title, I think there is nothing different, even though there is only a 2 point difference from Girona who is in 2nd place, Real Madrid is still quite the favorite.

The last-minute equalizer, especially from a former Madrid player, hurts more. The contentious disallowed goal by Atletico earlier in the game makes it frustrating. As always, derbies are intense, and Atletico showed their resilience under Simeone. The fouls, especially in the second half, showed how hard it was

Looking ahead, the Santiago Bernabeu match versus Girona is vital. Real Madrid has a great chance to increase their lead after beating Girona 3-0 earlier this season. Playing at home, I'm hopeful but nervous due to the pressure. Bellingham, especially, must act. His previous goal-scoring troubles are worrying, but this match is his chance to shine

Looking at the La Liga table, I can say that Barcelona still stands a chance of making it to the top even if it looks almost impossible for them. It's just about 8 points difference between them and the top position.
Things that can affect Barcelona are inconsistency and constant injury crises.
Barcelona have about 9 players out injured. This is always going to be a problem for any team, especially a team like Barcelona that doesn't have the financial power to sign many players. If they're lucky enough to get their players that are not on long-term injuries back, they stand a chance.

Also, they have gotten 12 points from a possible 15 in their last 5 games in the league so this is a good sign.
They'll need to win the remaining 15 games of the season to be safely at the top too.

Barcelona's opportunity to reach the top if the points comparison with Real Madrid is only 8 points is still there, the problem is that Barcelona's consistency in play still does not fulfill the desire to compete with Real Madrid and Girona.

The injury suffered by the main player Xavi in the squad this season is an obstacle in equalizing the points difference.
When Pedri and Gavi recovered, Ferran Torres entered the operating table.

Rayo Vallecano vs Sevilla

Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano will meet in today's only match in La Liga. This is Rayo Vallecano's home match. The performance of both these teams is quite poor this season. So it is difficult to make predictions about this match.

Yeah indeed is a match that will be very difficult to predict because there both performances this season is not encouraging at all but however judging it based on there position of the table Rayo Vallecano has more better performance than Sevilla because currently Rayo Vallecano is on the 13 position of the table while Sevilla is on the 17 place so perhaps there every tendency that if Rayo Vallecano put more efforts on that match they will likely win Sevilla because they not really in a good form at all this season so they are mostly vulnerable for defeat.
