La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[logfiles]

Casemiro is always good and as far as I know (a casual Real observer), he never had big patches of bad form like most of the other players in Real. I have recently seen Real Madrid wages contract and was really shocked to see how little he earns compered to some absolute shit players in the club. Mariano Diaz is getting almost 4 times his wages and Luka Jovic is getting almost 10 times. If I was in his place I would seriously consider leaving. That just shows lack of respect for one of crucial players in the team.

But he signed the contract and agreed to the payment terms at that time. You don't just wake up one day to ask for salary increase just because a club signed a new player with bigger salary. All he can do now is to wait till the time of contract renewal, and then they can set newer terms. If the terms don't satisfy him then he can leave... i believe that's how things operate. Not disrespect.

That is how things should operate but in reality top clubs often boost important player salaries and use the oportunity to tie them with the club for longer periods of the time. The fact they didn't do so mean he is not "galactic" enough for the Perez and will always be at the bottom of the feeding order. Players usually have large ego and look for exit in those kind of situations.

I just checked out the source you posted. It's very saddening that Casemiro is one of the lowest paid Real Madrid player despite being one of the best performers for Madrid this season. On a very good day when Madrid triumphs on their opponents, People like Benzema gets all the praise forgetting the hard work Casemiro put into to get the ball to the front men. Not forgetting he also has to fight hard to keep their win afloat.

If he decides to leave now, It might be catastrophic for Madrid. Remember what happened when Ronaldo left for Juve. He left a big hole which Madrid is still yet to fix. If Casemiro leaves now, things will get even worse with Modric and Kroos aging.

But to be honest most defensive midfielders and defenders are underlooked in almost every team. Not just Real Madrid. Also, when Casemiro join Real Madrid, he was no start like Kroos or Modric. So the salary that was set at that time was based on his status.

If Casemiro announces that he wants to leave, that will definitely strengthen Madrid's interest in Kante

That will be interesting. I'm not sure if Chelsea allowed him to leave though, it will depends on him whether he wants to move to a team like Real. What happened to Countinho at Barca must be considered. A good player in one team might be a flop at the other due to one and another circumstances.

Didn't get my Villareal win, but you know what? I'm really, really happy with the results of the weekend. Barca may be having our huge problems everywhere, but when Atleti and Real as well are having their own problems, I guess we're all in the same boat here.

And maybe the hated Griezmann won't have the same fate as Coutinho. Fingers crosses.

Barca played better this week. Looks like they're slowly hitting the top gear. Real, on the other hand, got another loss in an away game. Atletico Madrid just can't win. The table looks good, competition is strong in the top 6.

And maybe the hated Griezmann won't have the same fate as Coutinho. Fingers crosses.

Still too early to say that. He got a goal and assist iirc yesterday though.

If the likes of Nacho and Lucas Vazquez are earning more than Casemiro it shows how unfair they are treating the Brazilian,  he is one of their best and consistent players in the last five years and his role was crucial in them winning the Champions League thrice on the row.

Casemiro is always good and as far as I know (a casual Real observer), he never had big patches of bad form like most of the other players in Real.

He's probably the most important player in the entire squad (in terms of impact and performance in our gameplan), maybe behind Benzemana right now. A midfield without Casemito means trouble, not just because without him we lose our main engine in the team,  but because we don't have a natural replacement (it used to be Llorente but...thanks for selling him, Zidane). This is why the rumours about Kante have started popping up lately.

On another note, both Barca and Real will take the next weekend off, gonna be really weird to not see them play. Also, not like anyone here cares but, i wonder how can that affect La Liga tv ratings? Maybe there could be a 50% drop in ratings? I'm curious

Totally agree.

Zidane doesn't want Real Madrid to buy expensive and useless players, do you know who he is referring to?

Two expensive Real Madrid recruits have been disappointed. In addition to Eden Hazard, Real Madrid also poured large funds to transport Luka Jovic and Eder Militao in the 2019 summer transfer window.
 
Jovic is worth 60 million euro while Militao is 50 million euro. However, the contribution of the two players is beyond expectations.

Purchases that failed this season with huge funds for 3 players at once, I think Zidane should buy players for real Madrid contributions because I see Hazard, Luka Jovic, Eder Militao not fit in the real Madrid so his glorious lost.

After all the struggle Barcelona again climbed at the top of the league.
I wonder how Real Madrid is on the second place and chases the Blaugrana this season. Griezmann is going to take Messi's place in one seasons or two are the Argentinian retires.

Villarreal is Playing Alaves tonight. My prediction is that Villarreal is winning it 2:1(Santi Carzola to score or assist)
I am going to make a single bet of over 2.5 since the match has a history of goals... Wish me luck

I just checked the odds and bet on over 2.5 same as you. I think it can be profitable prediction. The odds for over 2.5 is now 2.05
Except week 5 and week 9, all of  games of Villarreal has had more than 2 goals. They have scored 20 goals which is the highest number of scored goals after Barcelona.
Also, I bet on Villarreal. (Odds:1.60)

seen from history both teams look good in the number of goals villarreal and alaves can score more than two goals, Your choice is not wrong to take over 2.5 in this match and I honestly want to follow what you predict, hopefully this match can produce results for us

I also made bet on Villarreal win because they are obviously better team than Alaves. And Villarreal is already leading after 15 minutes. Over 2.5 goals was a bit risky bet, but after early goal it's quite likely to happen.

Casemiro had done great work in Madrid to deserve a good pay but maybe other clubs dont find him lucrative for their teams to acquire. If Madrid consider him a great asset they will put a good price tag on him that will not only scare clubs but will motivate the player. Casemiro had done nothing compared to previous 2 years and this win them trophies in Europe, a very good game changer that determines a lot of their games.

His release clause is roughly around 200M Euros. who would want to trigger a release clause of 200M on a defensive midfielder currently? 
Release clause is one of the reasons buying a player who is still in contract with top Spanish side is very expensive. It's also the reason Real Madrid have had very hard time to offload the likes of Bale, James etc

That's a lot of money for Casemiro.
There are many players similar to Casemiro who are more experienced and cheaper.

No match tonight for me, since we postponed El Clasico, but what a win for Villareal last night. Granada could sit on top of the league AGAIN if they win tomorrow afternoon though, and the fact that no other team will have that chance this weekend (unless Atletico or Real Sociedad score like Leicester last night) thanks to the top 2 not playing... says a lot about Granada, doesn't it?

Yes, Every one was waiting for El Clasico.
But I think Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao is going to be a good game. Atletico Madrid has the chance to move to second place of the table if they win Athletic Bilbao.
I will bet on Atletico Madrid. The odds is 1.78.
I also bet on under 2.5 same as most of the games of Atletico Madrid.
