La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[DanWalker]

~snip~

Upcoming match in La Liga, Real Madrid will face Rayo Vallecano and still not confirming will Brahim Diaz fit or not because he has leaves last match against RB Leipzig after getting injury, will be more problem for Madrid have got many their players injury list for this season and absent more than two until four weeks later.

Brahim Diaz's epic performance had to be paid for by pain when he left the field and what I read is that Real Madrid will still carry out medical tests to determine whether the injury is serious or not. It was a shame that with such an extraordinary performance Brahim Diaz had to repeatedly receive very rough fouls from the Leipzig players and as far as I remember he was in pain when he managed to dribble past several Leipzig players before he raised his hands and stopped dribbling the ball.

Against Vallecano this week actually won't make Real Madrid feel threatened, but still, with positive moments like this and also with the motivation to continue to widen the gap from Girona, they have to win no matter what. On the other hand, if Brahim Diaz really suffers an injury and has to be absent for several weeks like Jude Bellingham, Ancelotti will have no other option by giving Arda Guler the opportunity to play as a starter. I know this is quite risky, especially since Arda Guler rarely gets playing minutes but he is the only one who has the same position as AMF like Brahim Diaz or Jude Bellingham.

This match is definitely not going to be a big problem for Real Madrid. Real Madrid should be able to win this match without too many problems. I will actually be surprised if Real Madrid cannot keep a clean sheet. Real Madrid should be able to win this match without even conceding.

Arda Guler will probably get a chance in the starting 11. It will be interesting to see how he performs as a starting 11 player. I am actually very interested because if he can perform well, maybe Real Madrid will not loan him. And that will definitely be great for him as well.

Xavi was able to do a good job in the previous season but he couldn't in this one.    Trying new methods is a good thing so maybe their next manager can have a much better run with Barcelona.

But they will need to pick their manager really carefully. Rijkaard has been one of the rumoured names recently. I remember his times with Barcelona as a manager before. He had a really successful time period. However it was a really long time ago. I'm curious about what he would do now if he is brought to the manager seat. But thinking about his history with the team I think he could be more successful than Xavi.

Being Barcelona manager is never easy, almost all managers including Xavi seem to admit that. Now it is not easy to attract new managers to Barcelona, ​​most of them are not ready to accept the challenges and pressure when Barcelona does not have good finances. Xavi seemed to understand the situation well even though he was actually a club legend and player who grew up there, but he himself had to give up because he was unable to handle the pressure.

Xavi's potential successors are of course those who have a high reputation and experience as coaches. It's not easy to get them, I know that and things will likely get worse financially. Xavi deserves to stay longer, but things are not as easy as he thinks.

I think so too, only a few managers are willing to accept an offer from Barcelona management. It is easier for Barcelona to look for young managers, Who need experience and are ready to take any risks, most top managers demand large financial costs to build a squad. Rijkaard and Ralf Rangnick are reportedly attracts interest in Barcelona management to become Xavi successors, with the complexity of the financial problems experienced by Barcelona, It seems that the two managers will think twice about accepting the offer.

On the other hand, even though Xavi has thrown in the towel by resigning before his contract ends, Xavi still has an obligation to take Barcelona further in the Champions League. Apart from that, Xavi must also lead Barcelona to secure another ticket at the end of the season, finishing in the top four of the standings is Xavi current priority. The setback experienced by the Blaugrana made it easier for Madrid to dominate La Liga, ATM also had the same fate as Barcelona, and the presence of Girona adds to the fierce competition.

There are players that haven't reach the level of starting fulltime because they're yet to gather experience for matches. Players like Arda Güler is elegant but still very young, he has a long way to go in the Real Madrid team. Carlo Ancelotti keeps close watch on him because he's in possession of explore potentials and he's included as one of these promising players for Real Madrid. Problems fast arising because Real Madrid always goes for the important trophies. Carlo Ancelotti plays a major role in the progressive level of Real Madrid this season and over this past years.

I think so too, only a few managers are willing to accept an offer from Barcelona management. It is easier for Barcelona to look for young managers, Who need experience and are ready to take any risks, most top managers demand large financial costs to build a squad. Rijkaard and Ralf Rangnick are reportedly attracts interest in Barcelona management to become Xavi successors, with the complexity of the financial problems experienced by Barcelona, It seems that the two managers will think twice about accepting the offer.

Yes, financial problems are the main factor why Barcelona experienced a setback this season. Because as we know, last season Barcelona managed to finish in the top position. At that time, Xavi received a lot of praise from Barcelona fans, because he was able to create a very good game scheme for Barcelona. However, this season Xavi has changed drastically and is not like last season. I don't know why the problem is, but what is clear is a financial problem. Because of these financial problems, Barcelona is clearly unable to compete with other top Laliga teams. So even though Barcelona are looking for a new manager, it is unlikely that it will have a big impact. Because what is clear is that currently Barcelona players need quite a long time to develop. So in essence, for this season Barcelona does not have high hopes of being at the top of Laliga.

On the other hand, even though Xavi has thrown in the towel by resigning before his contract ends, Xavi still has an obligation to take Barcelona further in the Champions League. Apart from that, Xavi must also lead Barcelona to secure another ticket at the end of the season, finishing in the top four of the standings is Xavi current priority. The setback experienced by the Blaugrana made it easier for Madrid to dominate La Liga, ATM also had the same fate as Barcelona, and the presence of Girona adds to the fierce competition.

Yes, this is an absolute obligation for Xavi. Although at the end of this season Xavi is certain to leave Barcelona. But Barcelona's remaining matches must be carried out well.
Because if we talk about the Champions League, I think Barcelona will have quite a difficult time. Because Barcelona will face Napoli in the upcoming match. Even though currently Napoli has the same fate as Barcelona, ​​in terms of quality I think Napoli is better than Barcelona.

And this season, if Barcelona only pursues the target of securing the top four positions in Laliga, Barcelona will certainly be able to maintain it.

It was rumored that De Jong would leave the team during the summer transfer window, but he chose to stay in the team. Now he is still performing well in Barcelona. I don't know whether he will leave the team or not, but I think he deserves a higher contract if he stays in Barcelona. It is now clear that he is an important player for the team.

Recently, news about De Jong has started to become hotly discussed, the relationship between Barcelona and the Galandang player is not in a conducive condition. it is rumored that the Dutch midfielder is starting to open up the opportunity to move to the club in the summer of 2024. even though Barcelona has actually planned to give De Jong a new contract. currently it is rumored that he still has a term of service until June 2006. however, Barcelona is trying to sell him in the summer of 2024.

As we know, De Jong is one of the core midfield players in Xavi Hernandez's current squad, but De Jong is considered to have the selling price will be in the summer of 2024. Quoted from Diairo AS, El Barcelona has set a minimum price for those who want De Jong. referring to news rumors, Barcelona is priced at 100 million euros. I'm not sure about the validity of this news, but I hope it's not true.  because De Jong is one of the key players for Barcelona. What is certain is that his performance will really contribute even though Barcelona will change coaching at the end of next summer.

I don't know whether he will leave the team or not, but I think he deserves a higher contract if he stays in Barcelona. It is now clear that he is an important player for the team.

Frenkie de Jong's contract will expire in Jun 30, 2026. I think he won't think to leave because he still has 2 years contract with Barcelona. Moreover, he plays quite comfortable with Barcelona squad after Xavi became the coach. He actually has many things to be the reason to play a long time with Barcelona. Regarding, a higher contract, I don't know about this. Maybe Frenkie de Jong will get a higher contract if Barcelona are no longer in a crisis of financial.

After taking Barcelona by storm by scoring five goals away from home, Villarreal failed to get victories against Cadiz and Alaves. They had a quick peak and a quick fall. The biggest factor for Villareal is the lack of consistency due to shortcomings and a lack of goals. I think this has mentally exhausted the players and the team.

There are no new developments in the squad, apart from the return of Parejo. Getafe, on the other hand, managed to win in the last minutes despite conceding two goals in a short period of time against Celta Vigo. Gaston Alvarez completed his suspension in defense. For Getafe, the chance to qualify for the European Cup is looming. Getafe find it very difficult to win away games, but with their current form it wouldn't be a surprise if they score against Villarreal and stay in the game. You have to be open to surprises in this match.

Winning and losses are always recorded by every club, but their rates obtained settled the difference. Xavi Hernandez knows he will find it really challenging to win matches, but everthings retraced back to the original features. Barcelona will undoubtedly miss their key players at the end of the season. This current ones comes more gathering and finding good execution. Let me remin everyone of us, Chelsea will make some running for these games. Frankie De Jong have lost interest in the long race to maintain good qualities as am elite team.

The problem of Barcelona is finance, they don't have enough money to buy players to the team so that the team can grow well, because any team needs to be changed every season to avoid playing poor games, but now they have already started to do so, I am very sure if Barcelona president can provide enough money toxvi should find a better striker and midfielder and I am very sure Barcelona will get back to form, even if Xavi leaves the club at the end of the season, they will still be playing poo.Let's see what they'll play in their next encounter against Celta Vigo you can't give Barcelona a sure win in a match anymore, Because of how they are playing, anyone can get an opportunity to defeat them, but I feel they cannot lose tomorrow's game because they are now in third place in the standings, I believe they will finish in that position this season.

Barcelona in the needs of money and club must have sold him coz barcelona has already received some offers from premier league and these clubs are chelsea, mu and totenham. Even totenham has sent him an offer which was around 60 millions. Barcelona is also on the way in convincing de jong to leave from the club caused by the team in the needs of money.
It will be a disaster if barcelona will still try to keep him. The club must have sold the players that have good price which will be helping the club a lot in giving additional money to buy the new players. Barcelona needs to get at least 100 millions USD before it will able to buy a new player from other club.

Selling the layer will become the best solution owned by barcelona coz it will be much more easier to raise the money rather than try to sell more potential income stakes to the investors and i think that barcelona is trying to avoid it caused by selling more potential stakes will also destroy the income that will be received by barcelona.
The club needs also to implement the rule if it must sell a player before it will able to buy the new player. So, this can at least help barcelona to stabilize the balance sheet of barcelona even though this club was very often in selling its players at a big loss.

In the last game of Real Madrid, they played against Leipzig. When they started the game without players like Antonio Rüdiger and Jude Bellingham against Leipzig, they were thinking Real Madrid was going to have problems in this match. But they used Brahim Díaz and thanks to the good performance from Brahim Díaz they won the game. Still, he was injured during the game and this made the fans worried about having another injured player on the team, but after the end of the match he said they didn't know how hard he was injured but Díaz said he feels well and that's nothing serious.

Real Madrid has no problem with their defense although there are many injured defenders. They have no Rudiger, Militao, Alaba because these players absent. Real Madrid only has Nacho, and Ancelotti used Aurélien Tchouaméni as the alternative of another center back. However, it looked working well on the match. For the attacking line, Bellingham must take a rest because an issue of the injury case. But Brahim Díaz can replace his role very well, Brahim Díaz scored a single goal to make Real Madrid wins.

A single goal in this match is important because Real Madrid is leading the aggregate. Real Madrid only needs to get a draw for the next match, so they will qualify for the next round. I hope the injured players are available for the next match (second leg). The next match will be held in Real Madrid home, I think it will be easier than the first leg.

In fact, he is enjoying it at the moment because compared to all the drama that has been created between  Barcelona and De Jong before i think this time he looks more comfortable and does not want to leave La Liga.
His partner doesn't seem too keen to leave Spain and De Jong may be considering that at the moment but making some players leave apart from minimizing the margin of spending losses that Barcelona always make by losing some players who still have big prices today then of course i think it can slightly close the FFP and improve in the regeneration that Barcelona is currently doing.

Of course we realize that looking at the current situation Barcelona condition is still very problematic so there needs to be some big moves to fix that and selling some players who still have considerable value can be an option  because if they try to force it the results are not very good.  

If that's the case, then Barcelona will still keep De Jong because after all, if Barcelona really allows De Jong to leave then Barcelona will be willing to accept offers from other clubs whatever the price. But yes, even though Barcelona stated that they were ready to sell De Jong, but in fact Barcelona also set a high price for that player and thus of course it would still be difficult to get De Jong to leave . But indeed, with drama like that, it seems clear that Barcelona has internal problems which of course will have a negative impact on Barcelona's performance this season.

That's the problem.
A few seasons ago we know when there were offers from Manchester United and Bayern actually De Jong had tried to open his heart with Bayern because it happened that his countryman De Ligt was at Bayern but Barcelona closed the possibility and for now when Barcelona is ready to sell still De Jong is trying to stop that which makes this drama never end.

Barcelona's complicated situation from a financial point of view and the continuing drama problem will make this even more complicated. Barcelona must solve this one by one because after all for next season Barcelona's problems are still quite complex where next season there must be some work to do such as solving their finances which are still very chaotic, selling some players who are not too useful and some star players and looking for some player options as minimal as possible in price but good quality to slightly improve their performance and the last is to find a new coach.

Upcoming match in La Liga, Real Madrid will face Rayo Vallecano and still not confirming will Brahim Diaz fit or not because he has leaves last match against RB Leipzig after getting injury, will be more problem for Madrid have got many their players injury list for this season and absent more than two until four weeks later.

Has the press conference already been done? Carlo Ancellotti gave the go? If so then, I'm also looking up to see the Turkish midfielder show up what he's go for the Los Blancos side as they go on the road against Rayo Vallecano.
The game was a bit difficult for them to get three points so they went ahead to share points, but with how bad this club Vallecano had been, maybe Real Madrid would try to win this time.

They did have it hot against Liepzig finally it'll be settled when they also travel to Spain to complete with what's started, I do believe Real Madrid would wrap things up.

For tommorow there is the match between Atletico Madrid vs Las Palmas and the performance of Atletico Madrid a bit decline in Laliga because in the last 2 matches Atletico Madrid only collect 1 point and the latest is they were lost from Sevilla and it makes Atletico Madrid position was taking over by Barcelona and currently Atletico Madrid has 2 difference points above to Bilbao so if they want to secured their position at top 4 then Atletico Madrid should be keep winning and tomorrow actually Atletico Madrid will gets easy opponent because they only fight against Las Palmas which is from squad quality Atletico Madrid is much better

Both teams has been met once this season and Las Palmas can able to collect 3 points from Atletico Madrid but don't mean they can repeat that result again especially Atletico Madrid home matches records was very fantastic this season because in Laliga Atletico Madrid has through an 12 home matches and from those matches they can gets 11 wins and still unbeatable even Real Madrid have to lost against them several times ago and for squad conditions Atletico Madrid will lost Alvaro Morata i know this is big lost because currently Alvaro Morata is Atletico Madrid top scores but they still have Antoine Griezmann or Memphis Depay for front lines however the bookmakers only provided low odds for Atletico Madrid @1.45 this indeed is not good odds but i think this is safe bet because certainly Atletico Madrid will beat Las Palmas

I don't know whether he will leave the team or not, but I think he deserves a higher contract if he stays in Barcelona. It is now clear that he is an important player for the team.

De Jong has become a core player at Barcelona. Even though Barcelona has had bad results in the last few matches, we can see that overall De Jong's game is very good. He appears very consistent in every game. I agree that De Jong deserves a higher contract. Barcelona must offer him a good deal because according to what I read in the news it is stated that Chelsea and United are also interested in bringing De Jong to England.

The previous game between these two teams ended up with a disappointment for Atletico Madrid fans. But the odds were really enough to make one become doubtful about Atletico Madrid then.

But this time I don't doubt Atletico Madrid that much because I see their odds like 1.40. It is reasonable thinking about Las Palmas' position in the standings as well. This time I don't expect a surprising result from Atletico Madrid. They can't get a win for two weeks in the league. First the draw against Real Madrid and later a loss against Sevilla. I think this will be a game to make up for those results.

The biggest factor for Villareal is the lack of consistency due to shortcomings and a lack of goals. I think this has mentally exhausted the players and the team.

Yeah you are right since Villarreal won Barcelona they have not been able to had any other win it was as if they lost performance immediately after there wining against Barcelona because if they had use the performance and courage they had on there match against Barcelona to this there last two matches they draw they would have surely win them, but because of there inconsistency and bad performance they were unable to win any match, however they were even lucky that they did not lose on there last match against Deportivo Alaves because they scored the first goal against Villarreal before they manage to equalize, so perhaps right now predicting there match will be very difficult because of there inconsistency this days and they have match today against Getafe, I don't no if they can be able to win the match.

Villareal really surprised everyone when they managed to beat Barcelona. And I'm sure that in that match many people lost their bets because no one would have thought that Barcelona would lose to Villareal. And after Villareal beat Barcelona, ​​we will all bet on Villareal the following week. But unfortunately Villareal didn't get a win and instead got a draw.

So it is natural that for today's match we will all find it difficult to make predictions for the match between Villareal vs Getafe. Villareal might be favored as host. But looking at the statistics this season, Getafe is actually far superior to Villareal. Even Getafe was able to hold Real Betis to a draw a few weeks ago. And now we just have to choose whether to favor Villareal who are the hosts. Or will choose Getafe which is statistically superior this season to Villareal. I personally hope both teams score goals. But the problem is, looking at the history of meetings between these two teams, we can see that these two teams always have match results with a narrow goal difference or a draw. So maybe I should skip betting on this one. Or I should just bet small.

Getafe is ranked 10th and Villareal is ranked 13th in the standings. Even though it has a better ranking than Villareal but I bet Villareal will win that match. And I also feel that the match will end in a draw. I read an article that said that head-to-head Villareal have never lost to Getafe in the last 10 matches! It's a very long history and I think it will have an impact on this match as well. So I don't think I see any chance of betting on Getafe winning. I don't think I can bet on this match because I feel the probability that the match will be won by Villareal or ended in a draw is 50:50.

Brahim Diaz's epic performance had to be paid for by pain when he left the field and what I read is that Real Madrid will still carry out medical tests to determine whether the injury is serious or not. It was a shame that with such an extraordinary performance Brahim Diaz had to repeatedly receive very rough fouls from the Leipzig players and as far as I remember he was in pain when he managed to dribble past several Leipzig players before he raised his hands and stopped dribbling the ball.

Yes, this shouldn't be quite a difficult match for Real Madrid because if you look at Rayo Vallecano's performance it doesn't look good and in the last 5 matches they haven't won at all so I think even though Brahim Diaz is absent Real Madrid can still win regardless of the score thin. Carlo Ancelotti is very good at rotating players and Ancelotti will apply a strategy that suits Real Madrid's capacity in the match, there is no doubt for me not to favor Real Madrid to win.

There is nothing wrong if Carlo Ancelotti uses Arda Guller in this match, but yes, as our friend Rendravolt said, this is very risky for Carlo Ancelotti because Arda Guller is rarely used as Real Madrid's starting 11 because his performance is less than satisfactory, but what can Real Madrid do? seems to have no other choice but to use it. I hope this doesn't affect Real Madrid and continues to perform optimally.
