La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[dzungmobile]

Real Madrid certainly understands that they cannot make mistakes in the remaining matches this season because if the point difference decreases, it will put strong pressure on them in the remaining matches, making it difficult for Real Madrid to be able to concentrate on the Champions League, especially as their opponent in the quarter-finals is a tough opponent.

Real Madrid need to maintain their difference against Barcelona in La Liga to prepare well for Champions League. First they will have two quater final matches against the current champion, Manchester City.

They can not plan too far in Champions League, must beat Manchester City before thinking of plans for semi finals. At the same time, they still have task to complete La Liga and take its trophy. Barcelona only temporarily reduce differencd to 5 points but it will return to 8 points if Real Madrid can get three points. I believe they will be able to expand difference to 8 points again, then it will be big enough for them to relax in La Liga and focus more on Champions League.

I know you probably didn't really enjoy the match because Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal to bring them full points, even though Las Palmas had lost one player since the first half and that should have been an advantage for Barcelona but it turned out that Barcelona was only able to score 1 goal. According to all of us, this is not surprising, I think Barcelona is just trying to play more relaxed so that their players don't lose a lot of stamina so that it doesn't affect their performance towards the end. At least 1 goal is enough to bring Barca to 3 points and become more comfortable in 2nd place.

Barcelona difficulty in scoring goals was due to Las Palmas having a very high fighting spirit even though they played with 10 players from the 24th minute, they continued to run after the ball relying on speed and playing with high tension. Las Palmas didn't look like they were playing with 10 players, they defended well and were still able to build attacks occasionally. Barcelona's defense line was threatened several times by Las Palmas due to the defenders allowing opposing players to have space to shoot. Barcelona was still lucky because the Las Palmas players' shots deviated from the target.

Las Palmas did very well in averting many goals following the early red card. Perhaps Barcelona have continued to show how weak a team they have become this season. If it were the strong Barcelona that we know, there was no way they will not score at least 4 goals against Las Palmas who is never a treat to any big side this season. The conceded 5 goals against Atletico Madrid and 3 goals against Getafe so this demystify their supposed fighting spirit. I'm sure Barcelona has just increase the pockets of the bookies by neutralising those who would have played with the expectations of many goals

Barcelona gave no impression other than weakening their championship chances with the football they played. I see a big difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid plays more organized in attack and puts a lot of pressure on the opposing defense. Barça, on the other hand, can beat Las Palmas, who received a red card in the early minutes, with only 1 goal. I think Barça and its players will receive great criticism after this match.

If it's not Bilbao who can hold Real Madrid back, then what team has the chance to hold Real Madrid back? Because after all, it seems that Bilbao is really experiencing a better and stronger performance this season and thus, I think even though Bilbao is playing away against Real Madrid but I believe Bilbao will make it difficult for Real Madrid in this match. Of course, to beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu is a difficult target but even so, that doesn't mean Bilbao don't have the ability to hold Real Madrid to a draw. Because yes, I think at this moment Bilbao really has a good ability to be able to provide a difficult resistance to Real Madrid and thus, I am not entirely sure Real Madrid wins in this home match.

Based on the H2H of these two teams, Madrid always dominates over Bilbao. Moreover, Madrid is far favored by bookies with low odds. which means, Madrid's probability of overthrowing Bilbao is very high. because, there is a fairly clear gap based on the betting market. However, that doesn't mean Bilbao can be beaten so easily even though the match is held at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ernesto Valverde's team played quite well, they were able to hold Barcelona to a draw in their previous match, beat Girona, and also beat Atletico with a landslide score in the Copa del Rey.

Well, we agree with what you said, it doesn't seem to be an easy matter to overthrow Real Madrid. but at least, Bilbao has a chance to hold Real Madrid to a draw. none other than that, their goal is not to lose points which Atletico Madrid can take away at any time. so, there is no choice but to go all out to achieve the maximum possible results. I'm quite sure, Real Madrid will have quite a hard time breaking into Bilbao's goal. By the way, this is just my assumption and speculation regarding this fight. Regarding the results, it will be determined when it is held. In this match, several Madrid players will be absent. apart from injury, Vini Jr was suspended. Well, let's just wait because in the next few hours the match will be held.

It would not be fair to compare Barcelona this season with Madrid's squad. Ancelotti has been trying to build a stable squad for a long time. He has been working with young players for a long time. Tried to strengthen the bonding between the players. And now he is very successful. Real Madrid's squad is very stacked right now. All they need now is an experienced striker. With the addition of an experienced striker to the squad, the Madrid side will become unstoppable.

On the other hand, the situation of the Barcelona team is now very shaky. The financial condition of the team is not good. Barcelona don't have enough money. They are not able to pay high wages to the players. Also not able to buy players at uccho price. I think this team needs more time to stabilize.

The match has entered the final minutes but Girona and Real Betis are still tied at 2-2. Is it possible that this time Girona will lose full points again or can they turn things around at home? The reason is that Real Betis is quite capable of keeping up with them and even in away games it doesn't make Real Betis' courage shrink. Previously, Girona lost against Getafe and it would be a shame if they failed to win again this week.

Girona doesn't have much time and they have to attack all out to get an additional 3 points and at the same time keep Barcelona close in the top competition. If Girona draws or loses, the difference will be quite large and make Barcelona comfortable sitting in second place in the standings. Meanwhile, for Real Betis, they have to win if they want to compete with Real Sociedad to determine a place in European competition at the end of the season.

Girona ultimately managed to beat Betis with a score of 3-2, the rotation of players carried out by Michel at the end of the second half proved to be fruitful, Cristhian Stuani, who came on in the 82nd minute, managed to score a goal in minutes 90+2. The additional 3 points obtained by Girona again confirms their position in the third standings, where Michel fleet had time lost balance and had difficulty winning in their last few matches.

Girona efforts to finish in the top four of the La Liga standings and appear in the Champions League next season will not be easy, because there are still several other important matches ahead that they must win. Apart from that, Girona actually still has a chance to overtake Barcelona and finish in runnerup position, Michel must be able to maintain his team level of play so that it remains consistent.

Meanwhile, Betis is currently still stuck in 7th place in the standings, their ambition to finish in the Europa League zone will be increasingly difficult because the points gap with Sociedad is getting wider. Betis current performance is also very bad, they have experienced 4 consecutive defeats, and have only been able to win 1 match in their last 5 matches. Next week Betis will face Celta Vigo, that is their best chance to secure full points.

I think it's very fine to say winning las Palmas by just a goal was actually a poor result from Barcelona especially with the fact that Barcelona is considered as been much superior to them and yet Barcelona was unable to get more goals even if they would want to day they won at least they got three points from the match but they would have gotten it in a more honorable way and not by narrow chance.

I want to even commend las Palmas for even been able to resist Barcelona that much that only a goal was all thst was gotten in the game, raphina  is a very good talent that Barcelona should try to see how well they can build on him and they will be able make good use of him along side yamal and Felix although he might likely leave by the end of the season but if Felix eventually stays back he's worth a great asset for Barcelona if utilized well enough and it's obvious he loves to play in Barcelona aswell so it's even a good investment if Barcelona should take it up.

Las Palmas I'd they had have this spirit they had against Barcelona since this season, I doubt if they will still be at the position where they are currently on the table and even Barcelona they have three points and are now ranking up the table, if they should continue with some more wins, they have hopee of finishing well I'm the la Liga this season and even the champions league their performance will aswell be influenced.

Girona is having a dream season. In fact, even if they cannot become champions, they can continue their good play. Real Betis is one of the great teams this season. In fact, I thought the two teams were equal to each other, and we saw that they were in this match.

Stuani saved Girona from losing points with the goal he scored in the 90+2 minute, it was a difficult position and he scored the goal. Girona wants second place and they are a team that really has it.

Rodrigo has penetrated and broken the defense of Bilbao with a beautiful drive from outside the 18 yard box, as he was given space to go in between Bilbao defenders, and took a wonderful strike to score an early goal on the 9th minutes of the game.

Real Madrid are fully prepared for this game, as Rodrigo goal as made it a total of 9 goals scored this season. Bilbao is the club that have gotten more clean sheets this season than any other club, but let's see what happens tonight.

There were worries before this match because Vinicius missed this game, but this became an opportunity for Rodrigo. And Joselu, by the way, remained on the bench. Ancelotti has a good choice of players in attack, and it seems that if nothing changes in the situation with Mbappe, then the competition in attack will increase even more, in which case it will not be easy for Rodrigo, Diaz and Joselu to get into the starting lineup, Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappe are unlikely whether they will give someone the opportunity to take their place.

A quick lead is never good from the opponent's point of view against Real Madrid, but against most expectations this game is going back and forth and Real Madrid isn't dominating the game. In other words, this won't be an easy win for them. For the sake of an exciting finish in La Liga, it would be great to see Real Madrid tie or lose this game against Bilbao. I have nothing against Madrid, but the upcoming clasico would be more fun to watch knowing that Barcelona could significantly close the gap. But well, it is not very likely that Real Madrid will allow for Barcelona to get too close again this season.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona difficulty in scoring goals was due to Las Palmas having a very high fighting spirit even though they played with 10 players from the 24th minute, they continued to run after the ball relying on speed and playing with high tension. Las Palmas didn't look like they were playing with 10 players, they defended well and were still able to build attacks occasionally. Barcelona's defense line was threatened several times by Las Palmas due to the defenders allowing opposing players to have space to shoot. Barcelona was still lucky because the Las Palmas players' shots deviated from the target.

Las Palmas did play very well especially in defense even though they lost 1 player in the first 20 minutes of the first half but they were quite solid in defense even with 10 players it could be used as an excuse but another reason that makes more sense is because Barcelona is very bad in their attack where their effectiveness seems to be lost when in attack situations and makes them seem to waste the opportunities they have in this match.

They controlled the match because it was a definite thing they did. besides that, they also had not a few chances where when looking at the statistics there were about 14 chances they managed to get but from the on target they created they only did 2 on target and one of them became a goal making us know how bad Barcelona's attack was in today's match.
It's a good thing they scored 1 goal because otherwise I'm not sure what kind of criticism they will get later when this match is over.

There were many wasted opportunities in that match and that was because the players' finishing was not good. Joao Felix failed to score a close range goal, Lewandowski too, and that was a loss in itself for Barcelona even though they could win their home game. Statistically, Barcelona should have scored 2 to 3 goals in that match, but poor finishing was the reason why they only ended the match with a score of 1-0.

The victory over Las Palmas once again confirmed that Barcelona is still able to maintain its good performance to get maximum points. Barcelona is able to maintain a 2-point gap above Girona, while they might get closer to Real Madrid if Bilbao wins today. If Real Madrid wins, then the points gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona and Girona does not change, it is still the same as before.

[iBaba]

Barcelona gave no impression other than weakening their championship chances with the football they played. I see a big difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Real Madrid plays more organized in attack and puts a lot of pressure on the opposing defense. Barça, on the other hand, can beat Las Palmas, who received a red card in the early minutes, with only 1 goal. I think Barça and its players will receive great criticism after this match.

Barcelona needs to improve in their current performances, and the need for Barcelona to up their games cannot be overstated. Because if you take a look at the previous games they've played and compare it with that of Real Madrid, it is easy to say that Real Madrid is playing more professionally and more promising than Barcelona. Therefore, they have more chances to even win the Champions League than Barcelona does.

Already they are leading on the table standing of the La Liga League, and their chances of attaining victory at the end of the season is much higher than Barcelona. Moreover Real Madrid looks more prepared and result-oriented than Barcelona does. And I have put that responsibility on the shoulders of the Barca manager to quickly work harder on the delivery of the team. If they must continue to be as competitive as they were in the past, then they have to work hard and continue to adapt by the ever-competing football environment.

[el kaka22]

Barcelona does get wins barely but they still do get them and that's what matters. Oscar Hernandez is a great catch to any other team that is looking for a manager by the way, sure maybe not a huge name team, but a smaller club should give him a chance and could probably do well there. Think about it, if you are a team in a smaller nation, you could get Oscar and let him build you to be like Barcelona as well, not easy task but not terrible neither.

I think it is going fine for Barcelona at the moment, yeah the games do not look dominant and all, but they do look like they get the three points which is all that matters. I hope that we could see Barcelona do well enough that they keep Xavi in the end, that's what matters.

[Cookdata]

Barcelona's victory over Las Palmas was not convincing, it could even be said that the red card received by Las Palmas helped Barcelona to score the only goal in the match to get three points and maintain their current runner up position. Meanwhile, their chances in the Champions League are still unclear because the two teams can be said to be of equal strength so it is quite difficult to predict who will succeed in advancing to the semifinals and I think the home match will really determine the outcome later.

Do you want to hate on Barcelona because they can't seem to be able to reach Real Madrid or you just don't like them? It was to obvious that the Alvaro attack Raphina and the red card was deserving and the fact that they were 10 players against 11 doesn't mean you should expect less performance from Las Palmas, it's the moment they get that red card seriousness will come from them. Look at how well Francisco arrange 5 men in the midfield and you think Barcelona would have easy penetration.

Real Madrid certainly understands that they cannot make mistakes in the remaining matches this season because if the point difference decreases, it will put strong pressure on them in the remaining matches, making it difficult for Real Madrid to be able to concentrate on the Champions League, especially as their opponent in the quarter-finals is a tough opponent.

I have made peace with Real Madrid that the only obstacles that will hinder them from winning the Laliga trophy is if Anceloti doesn't breath again. They have master the rest of the game and it's working for them, it's either they do clean sheet with 1 goal or more and when they score goal and opponent equalized, the make sure that they double that goal, the concede less and score more, that's exactly what they have been all these while and it's working.

[Xxmodded]

If they must continue to be as competitive as they were in the past, then they have to work hard and continue to adapt by the ever-competing football environment.

Barcelona's performance in the last match against Las Palmas was still far below expectations, gaining an advantage when the Las Palmas goalkeeper received a red card in the 24th minute but Barcelona had to wait until the 60th minute to score goal through Raphinha.
Xavi Hernandez need to fix with attacking line position facing Las Palmas played 10 players since 24th minutes just scored one goal only, its not good enough for facing PSG in champion League first match and their position gap many points from Real Madrid on the top position standings.
Barcelona on crucial moment after looking their match schedule, after facing PSG in first leg will face Cadiz then second leg match against PSG then few days later will face Real Madrid.

Even though Xavi still managed to give his best result for Barcelona this season and also, even though Xavi managed to make Barcelona finish in second place but still, that factor will not make Xavi stay at Barcelona. Because after all, the decision to leave Barcelona at the end of this season was Xavi decision and not a request from Barcelona. Therefore, whatever results Barcelona gets this season will still make Xavi to leave and therefore, ofcourse Barcelona must move quickly to get the right coach to handle Barcelona in a situation like what is happening now. Because ofcourse, considering the bad financial situation but in the same time Barcelona big desire to win trophies, then of course this will put pressure on the coach.

Barcelona has achieved 20 wins from 30 La Liga matches, while Barcelona has only lost 3 times and 7 draws. Barcelona's number of defeats this season in La Liga matches has clearly decreased compared to last season, but they have almost twice as many draws. Maybe it's not that bad, but it has definitely made them fail to defend their title because Real Madrid have better statistic.

I'm not sure who will replace Xavi as coach next season, that hasn't been decided by the club. Several big names have certainly been rumored about this, but there has been no clear decision about who. Luis Enrique is of course still interested in coaching Barcelona, ​​but he still really wants to honor his contract with PSG. So I hope Barcelona can find the right replacement for Xavi, whoever he is.

Luis Enrique is of course still interested in coaching Barcelona, ​​but he still really wants to honor his contract with PSG. So I hope Barcelona can find the right replacement for Xavi, whoever he is.

There are several possibilities that occur when the current situation takes place where the most likely at this time Laporta still intends to persuade Xavi to stay and train at Camp Nou next season or is still confused about finding a suitable replacement for Barcelona next season because of the financial difficulties they have at this time and the difficulty of finding a replacement that can really fit Barcelona because indeed for now Xavi is still the ideal figure to train Barcelona .
I think its indeed the first possibility with Laporta who still wants to keep Xavi and not let him leave is the most likely thing even though it is a little difficult because Xavi previous statement seems certain to want to leave but there is still a chance to make him change his decision and keep coaching Barcelona for the next season.

Real Madrid are fully prepared for this game, as Rodrigo goal as made it a total of 9 goals scored this season. Bilbao is the club that have gotten more clean sheets this season than any other club, but let's see what happens tonight.

Real Madrid 1-0 Bilbao

I have nothing against Madrid, but the upcoming clasico would be more fun to watch knowing that Barcelona could significantly close the gap. But well, it is not very likely that Real Madrid will allow for Barcelona to get too close again this season.

It is now clear that Bilbao is not capable of drawing or winning Real Madrid, as Rodrigo have scored his second goal in the match with a superb finish this time from the left wing. I think those defenders cannot hold him down from scoring again if he sees the opportunity, because he beats them easily.

Rodrigo is doing the job perfectly, as Vini is on suspension today. Real Madrid have maintained their eight points gap. Barcelona played with a weak team to secure three points with a weak performance. Barcelona will drop points in El Classico, because they are vegetables to Real Madrid. The match is on the 83rd minutes, and the scoreline is still 2-0.
