La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Solokan]

Last season Almeria was ranked 17th and what I remember at that time was that Almeria was able to win 11 matches but unfortunately this season it seems like Almeria still hasn't won a match and it seems like Almeria fans definitely want Almeria to win the match and now Almeria is ranked lastly in Laliga and of course we will not know at the end of this season with Almeria whether Almeria will stay in its current position or not and whether it will end this season without winning a match or not.

and of course in the upcoming match we will see Almeria against Celta and I hope that the match will be exciting and I also hope that Gaizka Garitano can make Almeria win in the next match against Celta. Celta and Almeria's rankings are certainly not too far apart in Laliga, namely Celta is currently ranked 17th while Almeria is currently ranked last in Laliga.

However, in the Celta match against Almeria, I want to go against the grain, namely I want to bet on Almeria winning because in my opinion Almeria certainly cannot be taken lightly because Almeria has also drawn against Atletico Madrid with a score of 2-2.

Valencia vs Real Madrid
These two teams will face each other this week, and the match will be held at the Mestalla Stadium, which is the headquarters of Valencia. Valencia itself is not in a good condition, in the last 5 matches alone they have suffered 2 defeats, 2 wins and 1 draw. Indeed, the results are not too bad, but the results are not good either. Valencia will get pressure from their guests in this match. While Real Madrid they can comfortably breada at the top of the table after Girona slowly declined which made them finally able to distance themselves from Girona's pursuit. They are 6 points ahead of Girona who are right below them in the standings.

Real Madrid must take advantage of this match very well because if they lose maybe they will be able to be pursued again by Girona. Looking at their opponents, victory should not be something very difficult, but they must still play very well to be able to ensure victory is in their hands. After all, looking at the squad they have, the squad owned by Valencia is not better than them.

Real Madrid is managed by a professional football expert in the person of Carlo Ancelotti and the Italian manager knows the importance of a six point difference at the top of the league table against other teams when a team is hunting to for the league title and also knows that it takes just two defeats from the same team to for the second team to tie them in league points so I don't expect him to tell his boys that they can relax now because they're six points ahead of Girona who currently occupy the second spot. Real Madrid is you ask me is one team that's destined to win the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the current season and my opinion is borne out of how impressive they've been all season.

Despite having some of their key players sidelined for most part of the season, Real Madrid have been able to still deliver good performances as well as getting good results that's keeping them in their current position and if they can continue with their current performance, I think they'll end the season with the league title.

Second placed Girona started the season on a very good note she was even leading the league table at some point this season but after dropping points in some of the league games in recent time, they now trail league leaders Real Madrid by six points and considering the current performance of both teams, I don't think Girona can overtake Real Madrid.

Third placed Barcelona been inconsistent the season and that I think was caused by the injury of some of their important players but unlike Real Madrid who was still able to get good results without their injured key players, Barcelona haven't been able to remain consistent with their performances and that's why they're currently in the third position of the league table.

The battle for who wins the Spanish La Liga title at the end of the season is mathematically not over but considering the performances of the top three teams in the league table, I think it's safe to say that Carlo Ancelotti's men will be crowned champions at the end of the season.

In football, the outcome of each game is always a decider especially in the domestic leagues, it's either there's an advancement in the table or the team goes down from its position, here's one reason why every game should be played sternly. In the La Liga currently, Real Madrid are currently at the greater part of the league and they sure do know how to supercede other teams. They've had injury set backs in the past week and still they were able to conquer their UCL opponent, this weekend won't be any different because their opponent has not really been consistent in the league.

 It's been long since they secured a win and now they're even more threatened to face Madrid.  Madrid on the other hand are very much vibrant and eager to net our the 3points one more time and keep making their stand on the league table solid.
Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Real Madrid because they are also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Madrid's home. In my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience.

 even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. but I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.

[Volgastallion]

I think the game from today can do a lot in mental health for the players of both teams implied, if Atletico Madrid ended up losing, they are gonna be in a shit condition for the weekend and also they are gonna save player for the Champions League match, and for Bilbao is the same Copa del REy is the main objetive , more now we know Mallorca is in the final a weak rival.

[tusandii]

By there is the rematch for the Athletic Bilbao - Atletico Madrid matchup in the Copa del Rey today. If you don't remember Athletic Bilbao beat them away in the first leg really surprisingly. Now they are in a very advantageous situation and bookmakers are also giving them a bigger chance to advance to next round.

Griezmann picked up an ankle injury and he is still injured. Not having him on the field will make things more difficult for Simeone. Maybe his form wasn't good in the recent times but he is still one of the most important players this season. I think this could really be the end of the road for Atletico Madrid here.  

At that time Atletico Madrid had to accept defeat to Atletico Bilbao with a thin score of 1-0. It was a painful defeat because they got at their own headquarters and even in the game Atletico Madrid actually played better than their guests, but luck was not on their side at that time. Atletico Bilbao's goal came from the spot in the first half, in the 25th minute.
In this match Atletico Madrid certainly want to avenge their defeat in the previous match, and they want to do it at home to Atletico Madrid. For Atletico Madrid themselves there is no other choice but they have to appear to attack because they have to equalize the score first. This is the second leg of the semi-final, so there is no reason for them to play it safe, unless they are already ahead.
Maybe that can be done by Atletico Bilbao, but it is also definitely at risk if they play safe and more defensive. Because if they continue to get tension then they must increase their concentration even higher, because in a decisive match like this, concentration becomes something very important, because once they lose concentration then the opponent will be able to create goals.

It looks like in the Copa del Rey match, Atletico Madrid will lose their chance in the 1st leg Atletico Madrid failed to gain an advantage at home, instead losing due to a penalty kick, while in the 2nd leg, Atletico Madrid will experience a big problem having to play away and Bilbao this time is very lucky to win in the 1st leg and in the 2nd leg there will be no difficulties because away or home matches give very different results and if Atletico Madrid fails to get 1 score ahead of Bilbao, there will be no chance again.
Of course Griezmann's absence has a bad impact because he always scores Atletico Madrid and his contribution is very big and if he is still absent I'm not sure Altetico Madrid can hold on to a draw.

In the end, Bilbao beat Atletico Madrid with a landslide score and made Atletico unable to win any title even though they deliberately did not pursue the title in the competition to focus on the Champions League competition. Atletico Madrid still did not have any chance because competing against Inter in the Champions League was very difficult. .
There is no hope whatsoever for Atletico Madrid except to improve Atletico Madrid's performance to get the best position in the Laliga points table.

Valencia itself is not in a good condition, in the last 5 matches alone they have suffered 2 defeats, 2 wins and 1 draw. Indeed, the results are not too bad, but the results are not good either. Valencia will get pressure from their guests in this match. While Real Madrid they can comfortably breada at the top of the table after Girona slowly declined which made them finally able to distance themselves from Girona's pursuit. They are 6 points ahead of Girona who are right below them in the standings.

Real Madrid must take advantage of this match very well because if they lose maybe they will be able to be pursued again by Girona. Looking at their opponents, victory should not be something very difficult, but they must still play very well to be able to ensure victory is in their hands. After all, looking at the squad they have, the squad owned by Valencia is not better than them.

Agree with you, that in next week's match, Real Madrid must be able to win this match when their team meets Valencia. If Real Madrid is unable to add points in this match, it will be easy for Girona to shift Real Madrid's position in the standings.
This match will certainly not be something difficult for Real Madrid because Valencia is still far behind in terms of points and position in the standings.
Real Madrid has collected 65 points, while Valencia is still very far away, having only got 36 points. With that, of course Real Madrid must be confident and self-assured to be able to go home with a win and of course chase more points.

That's right, Real Madrid must be able to take advantage of the big opportunity to win in this match against Valencia because they have met before and the one who often wins is the Real Madrid team.
And if in the next match Real Madrid consistently plays well and puts more emphasis on playing on the field, of course they will soon win easily again.
In my opinion, the Valencia squad so far has not performed well and has not played optimally, and for Valencia to meet or face the Real Madrid squad is not an easy thing for them because if you look at their own abilities the distance is still very far.
And in the next match, in my opinion, Valencia is still not ready and will definitely be overwhelmed by the defense of the Real Madrid squad.
But I don't know, as fans we can only predict, but in reality on the field I think the referee is in charge, he can do all kinds of things to smooth the course of a match.

They are 6 points ahead of Girona who are right below them in the standings.

Real Madrid is in the best position to win this match because of their past record in the Laliga.
Madrid win Valencia 5-1 in the first leg this season, and statistically, Real Madrid has a good winning record against Valencia; they have won 8 out of their last 10 matches against Valencia which means Valencia only won two in which all are played at Valencia’s home, this is not a sign for them to get hope on winning this one they will be playing at home because Real Madrid will not allow them because they are very serious despite injuries and will like to extent their points gap against Girona.

Real Madrid must take advantage of this match very well because if they lose maybe they will be able to be pursued again by Girona. Looking at their opponents, victory should not be something very difficult, but they must still play very well to be able to ensure victory is in their hands. After all, looking at the squad they have, the squad owned by Valencia is not better than them.

As the Laliga table stands now, Real Madrid is six points clear since Girona lost two consecutive matches against Real Madrid and Athletic Club Bilbao. Madrid will win the match or they will give Girona another hope. I will be betting on Madrid to win the match because I know they can do that.

I think the game from today can do a lot in mental health for the players of both teams implied, if Atletico Madrid ended up losing, they are gonna be in a shit condition for the weekend and also they are gonna save player for the Champions League match, and for Bilbao is the same Copa del REy is the main objetive , more now we know Mallorca is in the final a weak rival.

Atletico Madrid is a bit under pressure ahead of this match, they are not at their best in the last five matches in all competitions, only able to achieve one win, three defeats and one draw. This time Atletico has a very tough mission after losing in the first leg, they have to win if they want to qualify for the final.
Athletic Bilbao also really wants a place in the final because the team that has qualified for the final is not very strong. This match is very important for Athletic Bilbao who managed to win at Atletico's headquarters, they will try to maintain their lead to open up hopes of winning a trophy this season.

Yes, it is true that Atletico is not in its best form at this moment and not only that because, so far this season Atletico has always lost by Bilbao and even Atletico has also always lost without being able to score a goal in matches against Bilbao this season. Moreover, this time it was the second leg for their match in the Copa del Rey semifinals, and in fact Bilbao had won with a score of 1-0 in the first leg. With the aggregate victory that Bilbao has had like that then yes, it is possible that Bilbao will only take advantage of the victory they have. But yes, maybe Bilbao still needs at least 1 more goal in this match to ensure they qualify for the final match safely and well, of course.

Yes, Atletico Madrid's match against Bilbao will definitely be very interesting. Because in this match, I don't think it's only Bilbao who has a strong desire to win the match and advance to the Coppa del Rey final. However, in my personal opinion, Atletico Madrid will definitely try their best to beat Bilbao in this match. Because Atletico Madrid definitely wants to advance to the Coppa del Rey final and win the trophy. The reason is that currently Atletico Madrid's position in both competitions (UEFA and Coppa Del Rey) is in the same position, namely losing on aggregate. So in this position you could say that Atletico Madrid will definitely maximize these two competitions as best as possible. Because if, for example, Atletico Madrid only focuses on the Champions League, it is not certain that Atletico Madrid can win against Inter in the second leg. Therefore, Atletico Madrid will definitely make good use of this opportunity to at least have a chance to win a trophy.

And for the match which will take place in a few hours, between Atletico Madrid and Bilbao. I think Bilbao will choose a defensive strategy in the first half and attack in the second half. The reason is that currently Bilbao have won 1-0 on aggregate over Atletico Madrid. So basically Bilbao will be calmer in this match. And for Atletico Madrid, it is certain that in the first and second half the strategy used was to attack. The reason is that Atletico Madrid needs a minimum of 1 goal to equalize the aggregate. So before Atletico Madrid can equalize the aggregate, it is certain that Atletico Madrid will continue to attack Bilbao's defense as much as possible.

And for this bet, for some reason I will choose Atletico Madrid even though Atletico Madrid is currently under pressure.

[Odohu]

about Luka Modric, Real Madrid did score in the 10th minute but it was ruled out by the VAR. I have to say the goalkeeper of Sevilla was really good though. But in the end, he could not stop that shot by Luka Modric. And I guess this guy is still proving that even though he is old he is not obsolete, this guy still winning matches for Real Madrid. Makes me wonder if Real Madrid is still going to keep him or not.

The match was fun to watch with lots of actions and display of skills. Carlo Ancelotti have done a great job with team both in building the team work as well as team spirit. Real Madrid actually missed a lot of opportunities and VAR was not also on their side. Luka Modric goal was outside the 18 yard hence there is no way they can disallow such fantastic strike that put Real Madrid 6 points clear from Girona.

They will be facing Valencia in their next encounter. Valencia have a very fantastic home record this season and I'm expecting them to give Real Madrid a tough time. By H2H, Madrid have upper hands against them but by present form, they will be able to hold Madrid to a score draw.

After all, looking at the squad they have, the squad owned by Valencia is not better than them.

Nothing can stop Real Madrid from winning this match; every time they play a team that is struggling this season, I get the impression that Real Madrid has already won. I know that anything can happen and that games can change, but when a team like Real Madrid is playing well, we should always expect a strong showing from them. Real Madrid needs to play well from now on until they play Barcelona so that even if they draw, it won't affect them. I know that Real Madrid leads Barcelona by a few points, which is difficult to achieve, but Real Madrid still needs to play well.
 
And as for Girona, no matter how well they play right now, they will never be able to get to Real Madrid again because Real Madrid doesn't have as many important games as Girona does. I don't even think Girona will be in second place in the league this season. Valencia will do everything in their power to ensure that the match ends in a draw, but Real Madrid will always want to win.

Last season Almeria was ranked 17th and what I remember at that time was that Almeria was able to win 11 matches but unfortunately this season it seems like Almeria still hasn't won a match and it seems like Almeria fans definitely want Almeria to win the match and now Almeria is ranked lastly in Laliga and of course we will not know at the end of this season with Almeria whether Almeria will stay in its current position or not and whether it will end this season without winning a match or not.

and of course in the upcoming match we will see Almeria against Celta and I hope that the match will be exciting and I also hope that Gaizka Garitano can make Almeria win in the next match against Celta. Celta and Almeria's rankings are certainly not too far apart in Laliga, namely Celta is currently ranked 17th while Almeria is currently ranked last in Laliga.

However, in the Celta match against Almeria, I want to go against the grain, namely I want to bet on Almeria winning because in my opinion Almeria certainly cannot be taken lightly because Almeria has also drawn against Atletico Madrid with a score of 2-2.

Almeria fate is very tragic, being one of the clubs that has never tasted a single victory in La Liga, languishing in the degradation zone and it is certain that they will drop down to the Segunda Division. For next week match, I think Almeria will lose points again, betting on a draw in my opinion is also very risky, but who knows, you might be lucky.

In the 26 weeks that have passed, Almeria have only managed to get points from draws, with a record of 9 draws and the rest being defeats. It could be said that Celta Vigo chances are still better even though they are currently one level above the degradation zone too. Another reason that supports Celta Vigo chances is that they will act as hosts, but it does not rule out the possibility that Almeria can steal points.

Celta Vigo will try to stay away from the degradation zone, and Almeria will want to taste their first win of the season. a background that I think is very interesting, apart from the tight competition in the top four standings, the determination of fate in the red zone is also an entertaining spectacle. There are 12 remaining matches ahead, Almeria needs a miracle to achieve one win before the season ends.

[Bobrox]

Girona must be careful when facing the end of the season because they are not used to competing until the end. At least securing the runner up position and that is much better. Girona is the difference this season in La Liga because it is not easy to be a candidate in the hunt for the title. It all depends on how clever Michel is at rotating his players to maintain stable performance until the end of the season. Maybe they should focus on widening the points gap from Barcelona and lowering their expectations of catching Real Madrid position.

Girona has remaining matches with lower level clubs and that could be an advantage to continue to get 3 points. Mallorca, Osasuna and Getafe are tickets worth fighting for with 3 points.

Girona almost close with their achievement for securing champion league spot standings, indeed has opportunity for winning La Liga tittle but they must secure the top fourth standings position target in this season. Its not problem for Girona fighting domestic league tittle behind 6 points left from Real Madrid but Girona has many matches left against top teams from Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Its better for Girona how to make many points gap from Barcelona and other side get chance to catch up Madrid's points on the top position.

Upcoming three matches later against Mallorca, Osasuna and Getafe seems not problem for taking three points and prepare for difficult matches left when facing Barcelona or Atletico Madrid.

However, in the Celta match against Almeria, I want to go against the grain, namely I want to bet on Almeria winning because in my opinion Almeria certainly cannot be taken lightly because Almeria has also drawn against Atletico Madrid with a score of 2-2.

Almeria is currently a team that will definitely be relegated next season, throughout this season we have not seen any surprising match results from Almeria apart from draws and losses, last seasons Almeria was actually able to perform well and was able to maintain their position to be able to stay in La Liga, but this season looks like it will be Almeria last season in La Liga.
In terms of scoring goals, Almeria is actually quite good compared to several other teams in La Liga, but unfortunately, Almeria's defense is very bad and is the team that has conceded the most goals at the moment.

Actually, it's too risky to  hold Almeria win in a bet, especially if you are going to bet a lot of money on that match, because head to head between the two teams
so far  Celta Vigo is actually more favored in that match to get the win, but I think there  no harm in going against the grain because maybe Almeria was able to give a surprise in this match, apart from that, by betting 1$ of course you can get a big win if almeria manages to beat Celta Vigo becaus as usual the bookies will give big odds for Almeria winning

[Dzwaafu11]

Having a 6 point lead over Girona and 8 points over Barcelona has never made Real Madrid feel safe. If you really watched the last match against Sevilla, Real Madrid and all their players were really frustrated when Sevilla made them unable to score. Ancelotti and his players didn't want to lose points which would likely make the two rivals closer, but luckily Luka Modric with his quality was able to score the winning goal.

So far Ancelotti has had no other choice but to continue relying on the same players in many matches. He has difficulty rotating because many of his players are still injured, as a result this will drain a lot of the players' energy which will likely reduce their performance due to fatigue. A busy schedule is clearly a problem until the time bomb explodes.

Real Madrid knows that its position at the top of the standings is very dangerous; therefore, Real Madrid never feels safe. Real Madrid must keep trying to win in the next match in order to get enough additional points to prevent Real Madrid from being overtaken by any team. Carlo Ancelotti may have thought about that and is still trying not to rely on some of the core players he has. So far, to maintain victory, there is no other choice but to provide a strategy with his trusted players.

Yes. Actually, Real Madrid cannot feel safe at the moment because of their position, and there is no much point in guaranteeing that they have already fully secured that position of being at the top of the standings. However, Girona have been consistently playing well throughout the season, and they continue dominating their matches to get back to their position, which means anything that will make Real Madrid lose matches now will give Girona another chance if they keep trying again, and definitely if they get back to their position, they won’t drop points again, so I think Real Madrid should continue using their key players to secure that position in the table; if not, they may lose hope of getting the title this season. Using their key players at the moment will be the best thing for them.

By there is the rematch for the Athletic Bilbao - Atletico Madrid matchup in the Copa del Rey today. If you don't remember Athletic Bilbao beat them away in the first leg really surprisingly. Now they are in a very advantageous situation and bookmakers are also giving them a bigger chance to advance to next round.

Griezmann picked up an ankle injury and he is still injured. Not having him on the field will make things more difficult for Simeone. Maybe his form wasn't good in the recent times but he is still one of the most important players this season. I think this could really be the end of the road for Atletico Madrid here. 

I have no idea about what the makers thinks, but I've decided to go with both of them sharing points at the end of the game tonight, ain't that worth trying?
Qualification to thee next round gone be hard one but since Athletico Bilbao are already with wins from the first, definitely take a good time for Atletico Madrid to break them down tonight.

Losing the one time World Cup Competition winner is like losing an important part of your body, should I say your right arm or hand? He has been a good player for them this season, during ganes like this, all that matters is nothing but risk and risk. Are they capable of taking it?
Stubborn Celta Vigo fans, they're really working hard to escape relegation. I would think Benitez might be sacked already.

Atletico Madrid is a bit under pressure ahead of this match, they are not at their best in the last five matches in all competitions, only able to achieve one win, three defeats and one draw. This time Atletico has a very tough mission after losing in the first leg, they have to win if they want to qualify for the final.
Athletic Bilbao also really wants a place in the final because the team that has qualified for the final is not very strong. This match is very important for Athletic Bilbao who managed to win at Atletico's headquarters, they will try to maintain their lead to open up hopes of winning a trophy this season.

Bilbao have two advantages, apart from playing at home they also have 1 goal in hand. Bilbao have won the first leg at Civitas Metropolitano with a score of 0-1, so today they will maintain their lead and will take advantage of home advantage to determine their fate this season in the Copa Del Rey.

Both teams were unable to win in their last match in La Liga. Bilbao surprisingly lost to Real Betis, while Atletico Madrid was held to a 2-2 draw by Almeria. I think this second leg match will be tense because Atletico Madrid has the ambition to recover and qualify for the final. Bilbao also have the same ambitions, so the match will be very tense even though it seems reasonable to expect Atletico Madrid to win the match.

[Salahmu]

I think Bilbao have good chance to gets the winning result from this match or even draw from Atletico Madrid because just like i said before Bilbao was very strong at their home ground and so far only Real Madrid who can able to beat Bilbao at their home ground and this season on December for Laliga match Atletico Madrid also lost at San Mamés with scores 2-0 and about team conditions i can see Griezmann will not be available but Atletico Madrid still have Alvaro Morata and this player have already recover from his injured and he was played as substitution player when Atletico Madrid play against Almeria however just like i said above i think Bilbao will being an the winner of this match considering their positive results during playing at home and Bilbao has good odds @2.37

The both team seem to have the same chances of winning against each other because if you check there level of performance and there pattern of play is very similar and even on there Spanish La Liga tabe they are both close to each other, although Athletic Club seem to have really improve on this season to have been able to be challenging Atletico Madrid because I remember that previous season Atletico Madrid performance was no way to be challenged by Athletic Club because they were more better but perhaps it seem Atletico Madrid performance has been a bit weak this season because there last meeting with Athletic Club was not easy on Atletico Madrid because Athletic Club was able to win them on there home do to there poor performance, so perhaps if we consider how they lose there match to Athletic Club on there last meeting it Will show that Athletic Club may likely win them on this match because there home advantage will also become an added advantage for them.

[Harkorede]

I think the game from today can do a lot in mental health for the players of both teams implied, if Atletico Madrid ended up losing, they are gonna be in a shit condition for the weekend and also they are gonna save player for the Champions League match, and for Bilbao is the same Copa del REy is the main objetive , more now we know Mallorca is in the final a weak rival.

Athletic Bilbao have been the better side of teams this by their usual standard, and they 2 advantage going into today's game, 1, they have a 1 goal lead from the first leg and secondly Bilbao will be Atletico Madrid at San Mamés, a stadium that have been a tough place for visitors to get an easy ride against Bilbao, It's still pretty much an open tie, but I don't see Atletico getting the better of Bilbao tonight.
