La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Rampagoe004]

And I also see that in terms of motivation, there is quite a lot of motivation for Sociedad to be able to achieve victory to be able to compete fiercely in the race for the top 4 positions in the standings, so they will give everything to get 3 points, I have no doubts about the victory that Sociedad will achieve.

Sociedad needs 11 points to catch fourth place. I think it will be very difficult for them. I think they will try to aim for a top 5 position even though they are also 9 points behind the athletic club. This is an unfortunate situation because with the number of points they have at the moment I think it is difficult to catch both of them. Their only motivation is to maintain sixth position in the standings and be able to qualify for the European Conference league qualification. I'm also sure of course they will get 3 points from Villareal.

11 points is too far and Sociedad have to try to maximize their performances and earned points, then hope Athletico Madrid will have some surprising decreasing performances in coming months. They must hope to reduce the difference to about 5 points to see a light of top four. That means Athletico Madrid must lose two matches to give that signal light to Sociedad.

It's a hard condition but I believe Sociedad will not give up too soon as the air of Champions League is very attractive and addictive. They surely want to join it again in future and by that they will keep fighting until they actually fail in this competition.

Sociedad is already far behind Atletico, who is ranked fourth in the standings, perhaps the most realistic target is to pursue fifth position in the standings to qualify for the Europa League, or even have to be satisfied with sixth place to go to the qualifying round for the Europa Conference League. I think Bilbao is a team that has the opportunity to penetrate the Champions League zone in the future, which is currently occupied by Madrid, Girona, Barcelona and Atletico. Bilbao will continue to pressure Atletico position for the rest of the season, because the two are only 2 point apart. Meanwhile, it is very difficult for Sociedad to move up the rankings with the point difference that has already been established.

Regarding the Sociedad versus Villarreal match, I think Sociedad has a bigger opportunity, because apart from having better statistics they will also act as hosts. If they are successful in securing full points, it will certainly reduce their gap with Bilbao a little, but it is possible that their steps will stumble. Villarreal performance is currently experiencing a significant decline, they have only been able to achieve 2 wins in the last 10 matches. However, the most interesting thing about one of their two wins was that they managed to slaughter Barcelona with a score of 5-3. Sociedad must be fully alert, if you don't want to lose point from Villarreal.

This season's journey is still quite long and Sociedad still has a chance to enter the top 4, not only hoping for the fall of Atletico Madrid, but Barcelona and Girona may also not be able to maintain their consistency and lose a lot of points so it will be profitable for Sociedada.

The match against Villareal should not be difficult for Sociedad because in terms of quality they are much better, they are also playing at home which is an advantage with the full support of their supporters and Villareal who is currently experiencing a decline in performance so that makes Sociedada quite the favorite.

[Altryist]

Quite agree that Real Sociedad will probably win this match but a draw is also possible because the home team in 12 home matches has experienced 5x draws with 2x defeats, so there is a chance for Villarreal to get points in this away match even though only one, and certainly this is a match that will run balanced because both teams have strengths that are not much different.
Real Sociedad may play aggressively to get three points because they want to secure their position to be able to be in European competition because currently Real Betis is also trying to catch their position and only one point difference, while Villarreal is quite safe from the relegation zone and it is difficult to get a position in European competition so they will only try to end this season with a good position.

It’s a difficult season for Villarreal, they definitely don’t pretend to anything and therefore the motivation for this match will not be high. Real Sociedad need to fight for a place in the European Cups, and this is a home match for them, where they play much better and lose at home very rarely, and given that they recently lost at home to Osasuna, I doubt that they will lose two games in a row at home. So I think that Sociedad will not lose today.

[makishart]

Looking at your analysis, yea, Realsociedad performance has not been encourage in some of the few match that day played lately but the fact is that Villareal is not better either, for me, I will say Real Sociedad is going to win Villareal, the season has not been a good one for villareal, the team has underperformed allowing many team's to count point with them, so I don't see any different result in this particular match, if we have to consider the odd you noted here such odd against villareal does not fail most times, so I believe that the favourite team in this.atvg which is realsiciedad will come out victoriously in this match unless their is a different pattern that will be exhibited by villareal in that game, though this is my opinion.

It's hard to believe it but as long as villarela will be playing fully defensive and nothing impossible for this team. The most possible thing to get full points and this is what i have been thinking. Villareal has no choice other than try to get at least 1 point from sociedad when it was playing away.
Talking about the chance owned by both of clubs and im sure real sociedad was leading it caused by villareal is not performing that good this season. There is a lot of bad things are still going on for the club. This makes the situation even worse for villareal. it may be losing full points against soceidad.
Sociedad is still in a good shape and i see no reason to pick villarela. Sociedad's gameplay was alwasy very aggresstive and villareal had chance to steal 1 point as long as it will play fully defensive against it.
Real sociedad will not let villareal to steal its points. Im sure that if many people are also aware about this too. It's not that hard for sociedad to villarela to get points. It's obvious sociedad will be winning the game. No reason to bet on villarela coz sociedad is likely battering villarela in the upcoming game.

It could be that what he said is true, tomorrow's match will be a difficult match for Villarreal in facing the Real Sociedad team because in terms of points and wins, Villarreal is still far from Real Sociedad's position.
And judging from the predictions for tomorrow's win, Real Sociedad is superior to Villarreal, namely 50% and 18%, and of course for Villarreal in tomorrow's match it will most likely be difficult to beat Real Sociedad because in tomorrow's match Real Sociedad will show a good performance. His performance was better because he played at his own home. Meanwhile, being the host can make a team win the match and it is very likely that Real Sociedad will appear more aggressive and confident tomorrow.
And we're waiting for tomorrow's match broadcast to be sure to be interesting to watch.😊

Sociedad vs Villareal

Sociedad performance a bit decline because in the last 5 matches in all competitions Sociedad was suffering 2 loses but recently Sociedad performance gradually better because they can return to the winning ways last week by win from Mallorca and for Villareal actually Villareal was unbeatable in the last 5 matches in Laliga but these records cannot be says impressive because from those matches Villareal only able to gets 1 win and the latest is Villarreal only able to playing draw against Getafe and today both teams will targetting 3 points to improved their position on league standings

I have been notice on 2024 Sociedad still unable to win at their home in all competitions even the latest is Sociedad have to lost with narrow score from Osasuna and for Villareal this team is really unstable and during this season Villarreal only gets 6 wins which make they have to occupy 13th place however actually both teams has similar conditions because some of their players will not be available because got injured but i think Sociedad should beware of Gerard Moreno because he is currently as Villarreal top scorer in Laliga but as a host Sociedad has slightly chances to win this match but their front lines should be able to performing well again today and Sociedad has odds @1.82 which mean they are the favourite and my prediction is they can able to beat Villarreal today and that odds is quite good to bet

Looking at your analysis, yea, Realsociedad performance has not been encourage in some of the few match that day played lately but the fact is that Villareal is not better either, for me, I will say Real Sociedad is going to win Villareal, the season has not been a good one for villareal, the team has underperformed allowing many team's to count point with them, so I don't see any different result in this particular match, if we have to consider the odd you noted here such odd against villareal does not fail most times, so I believe that the favourite team in this.atvg which is realsiciedad will come out victoriously in this match unless their is a different pattern that will be exhibited by villareal in that game, though this is my opinion.

This season I can compare Real Sociedad and Villarreal because the performance of Real Sociedad is so much incredible not even from now that Real Sociedad has been in better performance than Villarreal, I agree that villarreal have the record of head to head winning but if am to choose the winner of this match I will go with Real Sociedad despite having low performance in the last five matches but still have a good record of home and away winning than villarreal and again they are the to host the game, Real Sociedad have to put more effort to improve in their performance, their last match against Mallorca which their performance impressed me. villarreal have a good record in their last five matches, they won one match which was against the big club and win them in away game with 3-5 goals so anything can happen.

[Velvet78]

Villarreal are just in a horrible shape now. This season is continuing like not much different than a nightmare for them. Marcelino period is not going well for them. He got sacked by Marseille after a very short time period before coming here if I'm not wrong. It doesn't look like he will be able to see more than the end of the season at Villarreal either. 

Today I think Real Sociedad are very likely to get a decent win against them. I think they will maintain their rise after a bad form of a few weeks. They already destroyed Villarreal by 3-0 away. Maybe they still have missing players like Oyarzabal but I don't think they will lose points anyway.

[Litzki1990]

Barcelona remaining 8 points left from Real Madrid but its not really many gap points because has chance for Barcelona make points close if can beat Madrid on second half season match. First half season, Barcelona had defeated by Madrid but if want keep the in the La Liga tittle race Barcelona must stop three points when both team facing each other. Currently, Barcelona need focus for winning all matches in La Liga and not losses any points yet if want make Madrid annoying on their first standings position.

Barcelona must focus more on Champions League because they will play at home against Napoli. A win will help them to go to Champions League quarter finals that are very helpful in financial income for their club.

The gap against Real Madrid in La Liga is big enough and Real Madrid will not easily to lose that big advantage. Barcelona need to secure their position in top four of La Liga and if best, take the runner-up position at the final match of season. It will help them to receive more money from La Liga but it's realistic to say they are unable to beat Real Madrid to win La Liga.

There are still three more matches scheduled in La Liga which Barcelona must focus on before preparing to face Napoli in the second leg of the UCL. Barcelona is still trying to give its best performance in order to maintain its position in the UCL zone, another focus is also a target that must be achieved to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The runner-up position is very realistic for Barcelona because the number of points collected is far different from what Real Madrid has collected.

Barcelona's Champions League second leg match against Napoli is probably now Barcelona's full plan for this Champions League match. If Barcelona can defeat Napoli in this Champions League match, then Barcelona's next round is confirmed. Real Madrid is far ahead of Barcelona this season if La Liga competition is considered. Real Madrid is not only ahead of Barcelona in terms of points but also in terms of performance this team is ahead in terms of points. Barcelona may end the season at number two or number three, but it is already said that Real Madrid will win the La Liga title this season.

I think Real Sociedad will beat Villarreal. Recent performance and stats support this. I think its important to examine both teams' dynamics. Real Sociedad absolutely wants to finish in the top four to play in Europe next season. This aim motivates, but Villarreal can surprise despite a poor season. After conceding many goals, Real Sociedad might exploit their defensive weaknesses. Its hardly a surefire win.

Given Villarreal's history of vying for European spots, their performance has disappointed me. This season's mid-table finish contrasts with their prior campaigns. The backing of their fans at home offers Real Sociedad an advantage in morale and game plan implementation. However, football isnt played on paper, and Villarreal can improve. They could disrupt Real Sociedad if they tighten their defense and surprise them

[el kaka22]

Everyone thinks that Real Sociedad is the better team and will win, but the reality is that Villareal is a team that likes to get a draw, they will play quite well defensively and I think they will do their best to get a draw here as well. A bet that is a draw OR sociedad win could be better than just Sociedad win. I know that the possibility of Villareal getting a draw from this game is slim, but it is not impossible and we should consider the possibility for sure.

I think the best way to go about this game would be picking the draw. This is of course just my guess and I could be wrong and maybe Sociedad will get the win like many expect, but I think it's quite close to being something that would be a draw and boring game.

[Gallar]

There are still three more matches scheduled in La Liga which Barcelona must focus on before preparing to face Napoli in the second leg of the UCL. Barcelona is still trying to give its best performance in order to maintain its position in the UCL zone, another focus is also a target that must be achieved to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The runner-up position is very realistic for Barcelona because the number of points collected is far different from what Real Madrid has collected.

Yes, Barcelona must go through three matches first which of course will be a source of points to be able to catch Girona and Real Madrid in LaLiga before facing Napoli in the last 16 of the Champions League (second leg).
Even though Barcelona's schedule will definitely be a bit busy, if we talk about the 3 matches that Barcelona will play in LaLiga, I am sure that Barcelona has great potential to be able to bring home the full 3 points. The reason is, the 3 clubs that Barcelona will face can be said to have performance equivalent to Barcelona and some are below it. Maybe the club that will make things a little difficult for Barcelona is Bilbao, because in Barcelona's last match against Bilbao, Barcelona lost. However, the other two clubs, Getafe and Mallorca, will most likely be handled very well by Lewandowski and his friends. Even though Barcelona's last meeting with these two teams (Getafe & Mallorca) ended in a draw, in this meeting I am sure Barcelona will definitely learn from their mistakes and will maximize positive results (victory).

And tomorrow Barcelona is scheduled to face Getafe first. So hopefully in tomorrow's match Barcelona can win so they can shift Girona from second place in La Liga.

Villarreal have 4 wins and 1 victory in their last 5 matches. As you emphasized, the draw has become one of their characteristics in the last weeks. On the other hand, Real Sociedad have not had good results in recent weeks. They have only 2 wins in the last 9 weeks. But I'm sure they want to finish in the top 6 of the league. I think they will be the favorites in this match. Or I can consider goal betting options for this match. They are safer options in such matches.

[X-ray]

There will be several ez matches to bet will come in the upcoming matchday starting tomorrow.

Real madrid vs sevilla

Even though sevilla is moving up again but we can't deny that if it's obvious real madrid will win the game soon. Sevilla has some ez fixtures but the real test is just getting started. Real madrid will become the next opponent for sevilla. This is gonna give another hard test for the club to know whether sevilla has been regaining its good performance again or it's still up and down.
I strongly believe that if sevilla will miss three points soon. It doesn't matter how strong sevilla is riight now but the composition owned by real madrid looked like a perfect composition. Ancellotti was obviously a maestro who was able building the club from the bottom.

Atletico madrid vs almeria

Almeria rarely got three points and you know what i meant if that will be easy opponent for atletico madrid. We don't even need to predict which team that will be dominating the game and atletico will do that.

The first pick was for madrid then atletico madrid. These duo madrid will be winning in their upcoming matchday soon since they have gotten easy opponents.

Sevilla unbeaten last four matches in La Liga by 2 won and 2 draws, its not bad result for Sevilla tries recovery their position out from relegation zone and try to move up until Europe League spot position. I don't sure will be easily for Real Madrid secure three points regarding last match success hold draw by not favorite team Rayo Vallecano,
Sevilla performance still not consistent have difficult keep in the winning trend, but the last four matches success not get losses yet and they have motivate out and make many points left from relegation zone.
Sevilla won't losses three points because their position still not secure yet from relegation zone, has 7 points left from Cadiz in the latest position or relegation zone not secure for Sevilla keep comfort their position in La Liga for next season.

[udidrone]

Villarreal have 4 wins and 1 victory in their last 5 matches. As you emphasized, the draw has become one of their characteristics in the last weeks. On the other hand, Real Sociedad have not had good results in recent weeks. They have only 2 wins in the last 9 weeks. But I'm sure they want to finish in the top 6 of the league. I think they will be the favorites in this match. Or I can consider goal betting options for this match. They are safer options in such matches.

Real Sociedad might be eyeing victory but I'm sure they will play more carefully because this week Sociedad will play in the Champions League so they need a fit player prepare enough rest and avoid injury, on the one hand Real Sociedad doesn't want to lose points in La Liga and on the other hand Real Sociedad wants to take place in the Champions League. I think the worst thing that can happen is the two teams draw today because both of them need points to secure their respective positions in the standings.

Real Sociedad might be eyeing victory but I'm sure they will play more carefully because this week Sociedad will play in the Champions League so they need a fit player prepare enough rest and avoid injury, on the one hand Real Sociedad doesn't want to lose points in La Liga and on the other hand Real Sociedad wants to take place in the Champions League. I think the worst thing that can happen is the two teams draw today because both of them need points to secure their respective positions in the standings.

In terms of performance statistics, Sociedad has a greater chance than Villarreal to secure 3 points. I think this match will be open and aggressive, but Sociedad will still act carefully so as not to lose points. If we refer to Villarreal match history, in the last five matches they have not been defeated at all, although they have only managed to win once.

Sociedad will try not to lose the opportunity to play in European competition next season, thanks to the additional three points Sociedad can close the gap with Bilbao to secure a ticket to the Europa League next season. On the other hand, Sociedad chances of finishing in the top four of the standings seem to be very difficult, because the difference in points with ATM is very wide.

Apart from that, in the second leg of the Champions League, it is very likely that Sociedad will find it difficult to turn things around and catch up with PSG 2 goal deficit. I predict that Sociedad step will stop in the round of 16. Finally, let's see how the opening match of week 26 between Sociedad and Villarreal will end.

[len01]

Looking at your analysis, yea, Realsociedad performance has not been encourage in some of the few match that day played lately but the fact is that Villareal is not better either, for me, I will say Real Sociedad is going to win Villareal, the season has not been a good one for villareal, the team has underperformed allowing many team's to count point with them, so I don't see any different result in this particular match, if we have to consider the odd you noted here such odd against villareal does not fail most times, so I believe that the favourite team in this.atvg which is realsiciedad will come out victoriously in this match unless their is a different pattern that will be exhibited by villareal in that game, though this is my opinion.

In fact, if we look at the overall performance of these two teams, in the last few matches there has been a slight decline in the quality of Real Sociedad and Villarreal, but if we look at the strength of the team, of course Sociedad is a little better and also the factor of them playing at their own home makes Sociedad's chances of winning are very big.

And I also see that in terms of motivation, there is quite a lot of motivation for Sociedad to be able to achieve victory to be able to compete fiercely in the race for the top 4 positions in the standings, so they will give everything to get 3 points, I have no doubts about the victory that Sociedad will achieve.

If you compare the performance of the two teams and we talk about which team is more stable, for me, Villareal is more consistent, getting 4 draws and 1 win, beating Barcelona with a big score for me, this is very scary for a team that is in 13th position in the standings with results like this makes the top teams a little depressed and on the one hand we can't rely on predictions for the last match between these two teams but we can also look at h2h just to strengthen predictions and on the one hand several Real Sociedad players are injured so all of that must be considered before bet on Real Sociedad winning.

I really understand that the bookmaker will also favor Real Sociedad but I am not too sure if Real Sociedad can win even though they are playing at home because this could mean that Villareal will put up resistance and divide the score into a draw but for me betting on the asian total is more comfortable.

[alankasman]

And tomorrow Barcelona is scheduled to face Getafe first. So hopefully in tomorrow's match Barcelona can win so they can shift Girona from second place in La Liga.

Getafe in five meetings with Barcelona always made it difficult for Barcelona to get full points. Their last match together this season, Getafe was able to hold Barcelona to a draw with a score of 0-0. Previously, Getafe also managed to hold Barcelona to a draw with the same score.
Of course, in the match at Camp Nou against Getafe, Barcelona could also have difficulty getting full points.

Mayoral's performance has been very impressive since Greenwood's arrival in the Getafe squad. Mayoral is much fiercer than Lewandowski as an attacker.
In this case, Barcelona's defense will be tested on how well they can defend against Getafe's fast attacks.
