La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Sterbens]

I myself saw the game of Hazard in Real Madrid was very different from in Chelsea, I prefer to see the game of Hazard in Chelsea because it gives a good performance for Chelsea so that the hazard became a lot of targets of big European clubs, but after moving to Real Madrid I did not see the danger showed what is the best performance for real madrid maybe because in real madrid there are many other rival players so that it does not contribute fully.

He was more "free" at Chelsea, something that it is not happening in Real right now.
His play style is more conservative in order to fit the moves of other players.
I don't think that he is going to be a legend at Real Madrid. On the other hand, he is going to be a Chelsea fan for sure as he achieved a lot of things with Chelsea, and will not achieve a lot with Real...

Maybe it could be a pressure on Hazard because his style of play is not so aggressive that he is more confined by opponents, in Real Madrid many core players become difficult for Hazard to play for the main so that Hazard does not dominate for Real Madrid.

 Comparing what a 34 year old Cristiano Ronaldo is doing right now in Juventus (did you see his head goal and how high he jumped?) maybe it really wasn't a great idea to send him away? I mean I get that dude was getting older and giving him a 4 year contract that worths god knows how much, it was wiser to just sell him and use that money on other players "financially", like it does make sense on paper for sure because he is getting older and taking advantage of that instead of keep playing him "sounds" good but thats about it.

 When you look at the reality, we are in 2020 now and players can play late into their 30's, I am sure ronaldo can be a very talented player who contributes to any team even when he is 40 years old, would it be like this? I doubts so but almost any team would get 40 year old ronaldo versus their current player, very few teams would decline that. So to selling him to another team showed how wrong they were by doing that.

Chelsea is a good team I am not arguing against that but we are comparing a team in premier league that is having trouble going for the European cups and fighting for it versus first/second biggest club of all of Spain. Real Madrid literally had 3 champions league cups in a row before Liverpool if I am not wrong.

Of course, there would be more limitations and more strict playing, Hazard was capable of playing like that in Chelsea because he was above everyone else on talent level, when you come to Madrid and you play with other superstars and try to beat other teams on champions league that is a whole new level of play so he would have to fit into a role that is expected of him. In any case I think there is also adoption problem, he will probably get better with time as well when he gets used to the system there.

What do you mean? CR7's move to Juventus wasn't on a free transfer basis Real Madrid accepted to sell Ronaldo on a fee around 105 million pounds which is really big considering the age of Ronaldo during that move. Also if you do mean that they have used that money for somewhere else then think again. During that season they have also bought the wonderkid Vinícius Júnior, the goalkeeper Courtois, and Odriozola. Real Madrid during that season didn't kept the money they have earned from selling Ronaldo they have actually used it on buying younger players and look at their future in the bigger picture.

All of them are smart with their decisions to make that transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus.

- Real Madrid: They bought Ronaldo years ago, used him intenstively, won lots of titles, and still got back big transfer fees.
- Juventus: They fastly and easily got the transfer fees back by selling the Tshirts with CR7 in the back, and they also got big improvements outside and inside the pitch as well as potentiality to win the Champions League with him.
- CR7: He was smart by leaving Real Madrid and moved to Serie A, that is a perfect league for old players and he also got very good salary and priviledges in Juventus. Very smart!

Not really good salary , Instagram pays him more

It was a big miss for la liga when the rivalry between cr7 and messi must be stopped and hard to find a new rivalry, we won't see it in the near future , hazard is far from the expectation.
Now , is it a good time for messi to leave and try a new adventure?
La liga would be more interested without the two I guess the points gap wouldn't reach two digits.

That decade was really an ups and downs time for Real Madrid and undoubtedly it was one of the best decades of this legendary club in European football, First of all, Cristiano Ronaldo has made the way easy for them by scoring almost 40 goals in every season. besides Ronaldo, we have to mention another big name like Ramos, Modric, Tony kroos, Navas and Karim Benzema were the key thing during this time, of course, Zidane made the whole thing in a compact way. I hope to see his dominance in this level of football again and again.

BTW I red a news today about Mbappe. Real Madrid has just signed a contract with Mbappe's little brother. News said, this contract made because R. Madrid wants to buy Mbappe.
What do you think? Is it possible? Real Madrid can afford Mbappe price + salary?

Why is not possible, for Real Madrid because in terms of financial Real Madrid is very reasonable so it is only natural if Madrid wants to bring Mbappe to Madrid.
Of course this will be a fantastic price from Ronaldo because Mbappe is a talented young player, many big clubs want it, but the price is too expensive.

Neymar was scored by Barcelona to PSG with a very high bandrol, even the highest sales for Barcelona at the time, so I think it's also difficult to return Neymar Jr to Barcelona again.
Neymar is currently only 27 years old and that young age may still be idle in his game, but is it true that PSG will just let go of Neymar?

If Barca want to bid expensive or make an appropriate exchange for example there are other players who are given as an additional option I think PSG will release him back next season. Neymar is perfect for Barcelona in terms of the game. However, he was still too selfish and wanted to escape from the shadows of messi because it agreed to move to PSG. besides of course the sales clause he was able to redeem PSG

But the points gap wasn't always in double digits even when the two were there 
One things for sure is that Barcelona would never be the same again because, everything revolves around him right now in Barcelona. If he doesn't perform, it's a bad day for them.

Sevilla plays against Athletic Bilbao and everyone points me to Home win bet.
H2H is totally on Sevilla side, and Bilbao have few injured players for this match.
Odds are not bad, and they still have a shot for title.

Sevilla -0.75 I think not bad, as you said Sevilla still has several targets, at least in the UCL zone, after all they play at home of course this is a good opportunity

[Slow death]

Now , is it a good time for messi to leave and try a new adventure?

Messi will retire on Barcelona. something I've been asking myself for a while:

Could lionel Messi get good results if he was playing in another club? If Leonel Messi play on Manchester united (yes, on the most unstable and disappointing club of premier league ), would Leonel messi have good results on Manchester united? I think Messi would not have good results on other club... The good soccer style of barcelona favors Messi a lot


Barcelona Vs Espanyol



I bet Barcelona will win this game (I hope I have no surprise)

[slaman29]

Finally. La Liga is back. I love EPL too but I really get sick with missing my favorite team in action. Although I have to say these days it is more sad than joy especially in CL but we all want to get as much Messi as we can before it's over right?

Agree, Sevilla should win today, but you never know with winter break rustiness. A draw or low scoring match is probably the better bet (under 2 goals).

I also believe that those breaks are a good chance to bet for low scoring in the games.
An Under 2,5 is always a good bet for games after the Christmas break. Bilbao is also a dangerous team but I don't think that they will be able to play offensively against Sevilla.

[akmal1984]

Valencia vs Eibar. it looks like this will be a victory game for valencia. In addition, Valencia must win to continue to improve their standings in order to enter the big 4 zone. I found a pretty good bet for Valencia winning 1.68x on the Stake Sports website. This is the choice I will make for this week as a single match

[Swordsoffreedom]

Seems like we all agree here on Sevilla match. William Hill offers odds 3.10 on "Sevilla Win and Under 2.5 Goals", you can find this under Goals tab, "Match x Goals"

I have similar expectations from Valladolid - Leganes match. Under 2.5 goals @1.35. Low odds but realistic for this match. I think Leganes will not score today. They have only 4 goals in 8 away games.

[LTU_btc]

Finally La Liga returns after winter break. Today we have 2 games - Valladolid - Leganes which doesn't looks most attractive to watch. While Sevilla - Athletic should be very interesting game. Sevilla are favorites, because they are playing at home, but I wouldn't be certain about their win.
Tomorrow there is Barcelona derby. Espanyol is awful so far, but now they have new manager Abelardo, it might have some effect.

It seems interesting to watch is Sevilla vs Bilbao because the club is at the top so I will watch this match.
Tomorrow Getafe vs Madrid will be an exciting match too and it looks like many are competing tomorrow hopefully this will be a more interesting match to watch.
