La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[skarais]

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.

Yes, Atletico Madrid have the opportunity to get full points in this match. Playing at home will give them greater motivation, but will the bad trend end for Atletico Madrid ? Not so sure Atletico Madrid can beat Bilbao because they wont waste the opportunity to score there. But lets see later.
A series of bad results before making Atletico lose a lot of points, and if they lose this match will further increase their suffering.

According to Marca, we do have a Clasico today  :

Bilbao ML @5/1 is tempting. Atletico are in bad form, the fans were booing the team in the last game (you don't see that very often), morale is down, but honestly, these are the type of games Simeone likes, with all the pressure from the fans and the media on him, he'll know how to motivate the players to win tonight and turn all the booing into applause.

They've having a good start, but if they want to remain in the top half of the league table, they need to be consistent, and I don't think Granada have the squad nor the tools necessary to stay that long in the top 4. But who knows, maybe they'll be the Getafe of last season.

Atletico Madrid will face athletic Bilbao tonight, it Wil be a great game, Atletico is 6th in the classement while Bilbao is 8th , with difference of 3 points, I don't expect many goals in this game and I will bet for under 2 goals.

Atletico Madrid will be more dominant in possession of the ball against Ath. Bilbao and this is at home, which I know Atletico has a reliable player to play tonight, but to bet I prefer Atletico with a score of 2-0

Atletico Madrid scored first and let's wait for the second goal, Diego Costa is on the bench and she will take part in this one
Athletic Bilbao seems not only silent I predict at least they scored one goal.

You know, every season I like to make my picks for the underdog of the league. Someone to bet on regularly and who will overperform regularly.

I thought this season it was going to be Sevilla, or even Atletico. I take my hats off to anyone who backed Granada. The funny thing is, I actually picked them last season when they were still in Segunda, and they got me quite a bit of joy a few times. Shame on me for not continuing to bet on them this season. That win against Real especially, killed me not to have caught that.

What do you think guys, still worth counting on them or just early season runners?

Granada have been magnificent so far this, The 2 - 0 win against Barcelona earlier this season drew my attention to them and I'm indeed still backing them to grab a spot for at least the Europa League next season.

I'm not too focused on La Liga this week because of Real Madrid and Barcelona not being in action, but they both should resume during the new rounds of La Liga scheduled for the mid-week.

When riding a good horse, keep riding. They are in a good form and look to keep it up for a while longer, although their odds drops steadily with every good performance. They play with a good structure, and overall team play. I back them to finish the season strongly, and maybe as suggested above, European football next season.
That would be such massive progress from their position last season.

Yupp for now granda is on top of la liga ( Played 10 , points 20 ) ahead barcelona who has 1 more game to play with 19 points. It might won't last long but yeah la liga need more competitor besides atletico , sevilla or valencia. Too early to judge anything... just good to see a mediocre team beating the domination ... at least they are on top for a couple days from now .

It's live at 88' espanyol beat levante away for 0-1 so far. The second winning of the season for espanyol, the battle to avoid relegation is begin.

Very boring weekend for me too,  as a la liga Faithful because of the postponed El Clásico.  The Other big Match between Atlético Madrid and Bilbao also ended in a disappointment.  I want Bilbao to atleast share the spoils.

[uray]

Espanyol won the match against Levante and i was not expecting much goals and that is what happened exactly.

Today we have Osasuna vs Valencia and in this match is also i am going with under 2.5 goals as i am not expecting many goals in this match too.
Sevilla vs Getafe in this match too under 2.5 goals is a decent bet, i went for a parlay for all these matches for under 2.5 goals and lets see how these matches goes, one match is done lets see how the rest of the matches.

With the delays in El Clasico, the victory of Granada-Real Betis is very useful. Because Granada can replace the temporary position of Barcelona at the top of the standings. But this is only temporary, at least they return again.

[ChrisPop]

I want to watch a spanish game tonight and I can't seem to be able to do it if I don't place a bet. haha

So Osasuna vs Valencia is going to be a very tough match. Osasuna is only 2 points behind Valencia, but I don't think the pts and position in the rankings matter a lot at this moment of the season. Analysing the H2H matches in 4 out of 5 last matches there have been over 2.5 goals marked so that's my single bet on this match because I couldn't find another "safe" bet in my standards on this match. I get an odd over 2 for this event to happen so pretty good if you ask me

Well, maybe they will repeat story of Leicester? Ok, Barca and Real didn't played this round, but it's still amazing to see Granada at the top of table. This team just last season in Segunda and now they have amazing start of season in La Liga.
Another team which are playing surprisingly well it's Real Sociedad, they are 3rd so far. Today they reached another win, they best Celta 0:1.
There is little surprise today, Osasuna win against Valencia. On the other hand, Osasuna always playing at home are playing very solid and even Real and Barca dropped points so many times here, this season isn't exception.

Granada is on the top and it is well deserved.
You are not sure that Barcelona is going to win the next match and climb on the first position again.
I think that Granada should enjoy the time maybe it is one of the rarest of their history.

congratulations, your bet seems to win for over 2.5 goals. Osasuna was lucky because  Valencia player's Rodrigo got a red card in the first half. The red card seemed to have an impact on the Valencia game, even though Rodrigo scored a goal in the 14th minute.

It's just a matter of time, Barcelona or Real Madrid who win will certainly be eliminated again in first place. So it is not wrong if Granada can enjoy this time, unless Real Madrid or Barcelona lose every game.

Barcelona won the last two matches vs Real Valladolid, I think this will be evidence of the strength of Barcelona later. Barcelona have a good team compared to Valladolid. I have no doubt they will win that match, so the first position will be immediately claimed back by Barcelona.
Lets see what will happen there later, from the quality of the team then I think Barcelona deserve to win.

[buwaytress]

@Harko: Yeah that's the problem with bookmakers, every win improves the chances next games, and conversely when City lost to Norwich they stopped giving huge odds to their opponents. Same as Real and Barca now... though on the other hand almost 2/1 for away victories are value bets when 2 seasons ago it'd be 15/10 max. Granada fans aren't getting good value now too cause they keep winning!

@Upgrade: Much more than a massive improvement I'd say, I think even if Granada got dumped out back into Segunda, no one would complain, such is life at the top in the big leagues. But getting into Europa? That would probably make a saint out of Diego Martinez as they've never been in Europe. Hope it happens. Fairytale run it would be.

Barcelona is very consistent now. In fact it's their 4 matches in la Liga, they always get the win. That means barcelona is very good now compared to Real Madrid who won, lost and draw in the previous match.
