La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[piebeyb]

 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 to play less than expected in passing weeks but still they were able to conquer their UCL opponent yesterday. This weekend won't be any different because their opponent has not really been consistent in the league. Madrid on the other hand are very much vibrant and eager to net out the 3points one more time and keep making their stand on the league table solid.

It seems that Madrid will not worry about the league race because Barcelona will definitely find it difficult to catch up with the 8 point difference with Madrid, because Madrid has not been defeated in their last few matches, that's why Madrid is still maintaining the top position in the standings well and calmly because Barcelona and Girona are no longer a serious threat. for Madrid for now and now Madrid's task is to maintain the performance of their players for the UCL competition which will face great clubs like Manchester City.

I'm sure they are preparing for this and maintaining the performance of their players for the upcoming UCL match against Manchester City, because for now Madrid is still on paper and will not be overtaken by Barcelona or Girona, but Madrid also still have to maintain their winning path so as not to lose points. which might be detrimental to them and allow their competitors to reduce the point difference. Barcelona is of course keeping the point difference safe and waiting for Madrid to make a mistake, but it seems that Madrid is still maintaining its consistency in the domestic league and also in the UCL.

There were two funny but also quite dangerous incidents where we know that currently there is an international break and the players have to strengthen their respective countries in friendly matches. Previously, Brazil played against England and the winner was Brazil with a narrow score, but as we saw there was an incident where Bellingham faced Vinicius and both of them seemed quite happy and there was nothing to be afraid of. Even after Bellingham passed to his partner, the two of them also seemed to be laughing together. On the other hand, there was another friendly match between Germany and France where when Tchouameni dribbled the ball he was tackled hard by Toni Kroos and to be honest, this was quite scary because if Tchouameni was injured, Real Madrid would be even more disadvantaged by losing their players due to injury.

I mean they should know that this is just a test match and there is no need to be serious when meeting their teammates and here everyone is at Real Madrid. We know that Real Madrid is currently on its way to securing the La Liga title and is also continuing to take steps to win the Champions League title this season, especially in the quarter-finals against Manchester City. So keeping the players from getting injured is the most important thing in a friendly match like this and when they return to the main squad everything is fine. But fortunately Kroos' tackle was not dangerous and Tcchouameni doesn't seem to have any problems until now.

Actually I couldn't help but laugh when Kroos made that tackle and I don't know if he was excited because he had just returned to the German national team.

I mean I think it was reckless more than dangerous. Kroos is old enough and experienced enough to know that he wouldn2t hurt anyone during a friendly game, but he couldn't hold himself and that is why he was a little bit reckless. Not that I would ever consider Kroos trying to take a spot at Madrid some more during his last years there with something so cheeky and risky, that would be an evil thing and he is not like that.

I believe that we need to figure out a system where it's going to be a bit difficult to handle if you were Ancelotti, let's hope that everyone comes back healthy. In the end, we also can't really blame anyone for trying to win, even during a friendly game, that's why you end up getting your training in to get ready.

Man what a very hard calendar has the Real Madrid ahead, i dont have that in consideration on my analysis, i think they are gonna win the LaLiga, but if you have one injury plus some bad results that gap can be reduce to a small one, and in that case the mind comes to play and the pressure is gonna be high on Madrid players, if they go out of UCL and lose some games for LaLiga.

Indeed, it looks like it will still get difficult for Real Madrid to get a winning streak in the next matches. Because afterall, in the next match Real Madrid will play against Bilbao and Manchester City and there are still many otherdifficult matches for Real Madrid. If Real Madrid experience bad events such as key players being injured and or other bad factors, then at least Barcelona will still be able to close the points gap with Real Madrid. But evenso, I am personally still confident that Real Madrid still has a huge winning mentality and therefore, this kind of pressure and difficult match schedule like this should be able to be overcome by Real Madrid as a great world team.

They have depth both in midfied and also in the attackers. I can't say same for the defenders though, because what happens when a defender like Rudiger gets Injured?
How long would it take for players like David Alaba and Militao to return from Injury? There'll be so much hardworking done by Rudiger within the next few games and months especially with Erling Haaland wanting to prove a point against them in the Champions League Competition we will yet again see another power tussle between thems. As for Nacho Fernandez, he might be have it going but I don't weigh him a proper defender for the Los Blancos side. They will have to invest in a long-term yougin to replace himas his contract comes to an end.

What's with the case of racism with Vini Junior? And why is it taking too long for Fifa and La Liga to frown upon these acts against him? Truly, they be making that league unfriendly for black players like him and more.

I would say that Real Madrid are not very interested in La Liga matches at the moment. They have a decent point lead over second-placed Barcelona in the table. And winning the La Liga title is not a difficult task for Real Madrid now.
So maybe Real Madrid will now try to perform well in the Champions League. The Real Madrid team will face the powerful Manchester City in the Champions League. And it is very difficult for Madrid to beat Manchester City. Even most of the gamblers are considering Manchester City as the favorite in this match.

Real Madrid will play against Athletic Bilbao, Mallorca and Barcelona in the next three matches in La Liga. Although Real Madrid is a strong team, they are likely to drop points in these three matches. Because Madrid's main goal is to perform well against City. So Madrid probably won't give full effort in these three matches.

I don't really agree with you if Real Madrid is not really thinking about the remaining matches in La Liga. Until now, Real Madrid is only eight points ahead of close rival Barcelona, but I don't think that's safe at all. I still believe that El Real will always focus on La Liga even though they have to also concentrate on the Champions League. The La Liga trophy is Ancelotti's main target because it is starting to look easy but for the Champions League everything is still possible but it still requires a lot of concentration and of course it is not easy.

[Chilwell]

I don't see Real Madrid losing four matches in the league. Real Madrid's 8-point lead over Barcelona is enough for Real Madrid to win the matches that would make them win the La Liga title without battling with Barcelona over who will win the La Liga title this season. The match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao will be a tough match for Real Madrid because Bibao wants points to remain in the fourth position of the La Liga table. Real Madrid will use home advantage to dominate and win Athletic Bilbao.

Real Madrid are in a really good shape and again they are busy counting down of matches to lift the trophy, 8 points difference is also a huge gap between them and Barcelona, with the current performance of each club i will advise Barcelona to be patient and try harder next season, talking of Athletic Bilbao I quiet agree with you that this match will be tough because ATLÉTICO MADRID are in the neck Athletic Bilbao for that fourth place, i will only say both  ATLÉTICO MADRID and Athletic Bilbao are going to be fighting for the fourth place, the two matches will be very tough, which i see hope for ATLÉTICO MADRID for taking the fourth place because I don't think Athletic Bilbao can defeat Real Madrid at Madrid home, it's possible that ATLÉTICO MADRID can defeat  Villarreal but still let with and see who win, the two matches are very hard to predict.

[RockBell]

I would also think like you. I think Barcelona's current concentration is in the UCL league competition because there they have the opportunity to get a trophy this season even though it is tough but Barcelona can fight hard without depending on other teams to lose. It is very different from Laliga, even though they are focused and wipe out all the remaining matches, Barcelona still will not be able to win Laliga if Real Madrid continues to be consistent and it is unlikely that Real Madrid will make mistakes that will cause them to lose eight points. Maybe Xavi is aware of this, in the end concentrating on La Liga will be in vain, but for Barcelona who is in second place is still a priority. Moreover, currently Girona has lost concentration and has lost points several times, this makes it easier for Barcelona to maintain second place in Laliga.

If you look at it the other way around, other clubs have the same opportunity. Barcelona cannot come from nowhere and want to win the trophy some people are far better than Barcelona currently. Barcelona even has more chances of winning than Barcelona. No matter how serious they think they can get now, there is no way that Barcelona can win the UCL. I know they can put in more effort, but this season is not theirs because they struggled, especially in La Liga. They just started catching up recently and it is already late. There are only a select few teams who stand a chance of winning the UCL since the competition is more competitive and everyone wants to win, meaning that winning requires a lot of work on the part of the teams. Even Madrid is beginning to lose faith in them.

It's true that Real Madrid is already 8 points ahead at the moment, but they can't be too dismissive and think they will easily win the La Liga title because there are still 10 matches left in this season which makes anything possible and even Real Madrid still has several difficult matches left. including against their rivals Barcelona.

Real Madrid will definitely be distracted by the UCL match against Manchester City, but I am quite sure that a team as big as Real Madrid will be able to prioritize both equally without leaving anyone out because both are very important to them.

[Palakka]

Only luck is on Real Madrid's side because their rival clubs are not in good condition, so that's why of the clubs that are able to provide tough competition, Girona is no longer Barcelona or Atletico Madrid because these two clubs always fill the top 2 or top 3 positions, especially this season. and last season only Girona put up fierce resistance in the standings this season, so it's not surprising that we still see Real Madrid still keeping their distance from Girona.

Yes we can't deny that Real Madrid are in a fairly consistent condition and have a fairly good performance in the league at the moment, but I think all these things are certainly not just luck for Madrid, because after all Madrid have worked very hard to reach the top of the La Liga table so far, when you look at Madrid's performance and how they rose when they fell behind Girona in the middle of this season of course you will not said if it was a fortune.

It's true, if some teams currently in the league have a bad performance, but I think that can't be a reason for us to say Madrid are just lucky at the moment, I think the mentality and ability of the Madrid squad is the main reason Madrid rise up, besides that no matter how great the team is, of course without hard work will only make them walk in place in my opinion,  Girona and Barcelona cannot be said they are not as lucky as Madrid because indeed so far they have also been able to present a fierce fight for Madrid, but indeed they do not have consistency in the championship competition like Madrid have at the moment.

The eight-point advantage that Real Madrid currently has is an advantage because currently the challenger's condition is not much better than them, so Real Madrid can be a little more comfortable leading the standings. Even though there are still several big matches left when playing El Classico, for example, Real Madrid is still quite the favorite because it is currently much stronger than several other teams.

Real Madrid are used to being under pressure when facing big matches in the Champions League and I'm not too worried about that. In fact, it will be a problem if several of their important players cannot play due to injury, making it difficult for Ancelotti to put in place the right strategy when facing Manchester City.

There are still many matches that will be played until the end of the season and thus, if for example Bilbao loses by Real Madrid and Atletico manages to beat Villarreal and that will make Atletico return to fourth place overtaking Bilbao. But, if in the next matches Atletico get bad results again then of course Bilbao will again overtake Atletico because after all, this season Bilbao really has a good performance compared to previous seasons. Therefore, because this season Bilbao has a good trend, then I personally believe that Bilbao will manage to finish in the top four. Also, although Bilbao will play away against Real Madrid later, but I am still very confident that Bilbao will not be defeated by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

If you think Real Madrid will underestimate any opponent in the remainder of the season, then I guarantee you are wrong. Then from that, this season only leaves 9 matches instead of 10 matches with an 8 point advantage over Barcelona. Of course it's still not safe, but to make some rotations to focus more on the Champions League, I don't think it's a big problem.

Ancelotti knows exactly about your concerns about the potential for Real Madrid to fail to win the title without the threat of Barcelona. B​but I believe that winning 8 points is a blessing in itself for Real Madrid to remain comfortable in every remaining match this season, even for the El Clasico match against Barcelona.

[Antotena]

Even though there are still several big matches left when playing El Classico, for example, Real Madrid is still quite the favorite because it is currently much stronger than several other teams.

Real Madrid were given headache and a tough time by Girona and now they are ahead of them and you think they are going to relax and feel comfortable? They will not, just be looking at their next games and you will understand that they don't look comfortable, they will continue to destroy any team that comes their way because even Barcelona are not backing down from the race, a slight mistake from Real Madrid will give them more ginger and confidence to win more matches, 8 point can be broken if they are not careful.

Real Madrid are used to being under pressure when facing big matches in the Champions League and I'm not too worried about that. In fact, it will be a problem if several of their important players cannot play due to injury, making it difficult for Ancelotti to put in place the right strategy when facing Manchester City.

The last time Real Madrid faced Manchester City in the Champions League, they were more than comfortable in the  Laliga than even the Champions League because the gap was like that in 2021/2022 and Manchester City was even leading in the first leg but eventually they win in the second leg to proceed to the final. I want them to win Laliga though but would be fair if they allow Manchester to win the Champions League this time.

Real Madrid winning Atletic Bilbao is likely to happen because the later have very poor away outing this season while the former is a devourer that tears anything that come his way both home or away. Even on their previous meetings, Real Madrid has shown superior strength over their visitor and this year may not be different because their are playing at their peak this time around . On the other hand, it is not certain that Atletico Madrid will be able to win Valencia, but from the abysmal performance of the later, it will be a huge surprise to me if Atletico will spare any point in that match despite playing at away. Coming weekend will show if Atletico will continue to be hopeful of the top 4.

Then from that, this season only leaves 9 matches instead of 10 matches with an 8 point advantage over Barcelona. Of course it's still not safe, but to make some rotations to focus more on the Champions League, I don't think it's a big problem.

Real Madrid is currently one step safer in Laliga because the 8 point difference certainly means they are without pressure and can play relaxed but still not underestimate their opponents, including when they meet Barcelona later. I am willing to bet that in Elclasico, Real Madrid will win the match because this season Real Madrid is the owner of Elclasico. but not for the Madrid Derby, they lost both home and away matches against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona this season is not very impressive so I think this season Real Madrid will find it easier to win the La Liga trophy with 9 matches remaining.

Ancelotti knows exactly about your concerns about the potential for Real Madrid to fail to win the title without the threat of Barcelona. B​but I believe that winning 8 points is a blessing in itself for Real Madrid to remain comfortable in every remaining match this season, even for the El Clasico match against Barcelona.

Regarding the UCL League, Real Madrid will face the defending champions and of course Man City is not just any team, last season made Real Madrid helpless. However, this season Real Madrid is a little lucky because several players have arrived, such as Jude and Brahim, who will make a surprise when facing Man City. Moreover, there was news circulating that Man City had lost its mainstay defender, Walker, who suffered an injury while defending his country. This will be an advantage for Real Madrid. Moreover, Vini will have more freedom to play her role.

[Ndabagi01]

Real Madrid will definitely be distracted by the UCL match against Manchester City, but I am quite sure that a team as big as Real Madrid will be able to prioritize both equally without leaving anyone out because both are very important to them.

It's good that you stated in your conclusion that Real Madrid is a team capable of winning both competitions. They may face challenges ahead, but I am confident they will overcome them and emerge victorious by the end of the season. If I were them, I would prioritise Manchester City's game right now over my next La Liga fixture because it is more important than the La Liga, where they are already leading the second-place team by eight points.

Real Madrid should concentrate more on the Champions League match against Manchester City while fighting for the best result because it is the game that will determine how far they can go in the Champions League competition, as their La Liga fight appears to be becoming more realistic given how far they've come in the league this season.

[armanda90]

Barcelona this season is not very impressive so I think this season Real Madrid will find it easier to win the La Liga trophy with 9 matches remaining.

Remaining 8 points behind Barcelona on La Liga standings awhile, currently Real Madrid position not safer yet with have many matches left and Madrid still has match against Barcelona on games week 32. Actually Real Madrid leaded with the el clasico match in this season after winning the first half season but Barcelona has good progress with their performance currently and success return to 2nd standings position. Have many difficulty match face by Real Madrid in 9 matches later from the upcoming match against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona and Real Sociedad with the opponent teams potential make Madrid will losses the three points.

The most important thing for Real Madrid to secure La Liga tittle have to win against Barcelona, its will make more gap points on current standings position and wish with the Barcelona's opponent teams can take one or three points.

[Cookdata]

Real Madrid is 8 points ahead of Barcelona with 10 games remaining in this season, in the next few weeks the two teams will meet and Barcelona still has the possibility of being able to close the point gap, but we also have to look realistically at the strength that Real Madrid currently has. making their percentage of being able to maintain their top position in the standings very large. Moreover, Barcelona will not necessarily be consistent until the end of this season. It must be underlined that Barcelona's performance has been very inconsistent if we look at it as a whole since the start of the season, so I will not respond to the improvement in Barcelona's new performance. recently excessively.

Real Madrid did only lose one match out of 28 games they played, they didn't lose since then but you still think it's possible mathematically? Which team will be that coward to lose like that? Let's even say there is going to be more pressure coming from different teams as we proceed toward the final matches but you think Real Madrid will lose 3 matches and allow Barcelona to come through? It's going to be like thug of war because Real Madrid will not let such humiliation to the club, they have done it before and this particular one is coming home either by fight (El classic way) or by experience.

This season there is no La Liga team that can match the performance and consistency like Real Madrid and it is clear that Real Madrid is quite dominating without any significant competition to be at the top of the standings, only Girona is a surprise team that is able to provide a surprise at the start of the season and that doesn't mean anything. for Real Madrid because basically the strengths of the two teams are very different.

Girona deserved to win this season trophy but they fell off. It was all like Magic how they were winning everyone but Real Madrid broke that chain and as we clock to the new year, they folded and I don't seem to understood why they couldn't keep up again. I was thinking that top teams were there problem but they have just been lucky. Real Madrid is the only team that has playing by luck and by team efforts performance and that's why they standout above many.

[AakZaki]

The last time Real Madrid faced Manchester City in the Champions League, they were more than comfortable in the  Laliga than even the Champions League because the gap was like that in 2021/2022 and Manchester City was even leading in the first leg but eventually they win in the second leg to proceed to the final. I want them to win Laliga though but would be fair if they allow Manchester to win the Champions League this time.

You are reflecting on the previous meeting between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League. Real Madrid faced a challenge despite their comfortable performance in La Liga. Although you expressed the desire for Real Madrid to win La Liga, you considered it fair to let Manchester City win the Champions League this time.

It's understandable to have conflicting feelings, especially when considering a favorite team's success versus the competition's fairness. Ultimately, the outcome of a sporting event is determined by the team's performance on the field, and each team strives to achieve its goals within the rules and spirit of the game.
