La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[tokeweed]

I don't think I've seen the La Liga this close at the top 4 before...  It's gonna be an interesting couple of months for the leaders and Atletico and Sevilla.

I think Sevilla could edge out Atletico for third...  Tell me I'm wrong.

Atletico Madrid and Sevilla have 35 points while Sevilla will face Real Madrid this week, is it possible that Sevilla beat EL Real this week ??
And Atletico will fight Eibar opponents with an easy chance for them to peak again.

it is very possible for Barca to win the match even though this is a derby match. But if Espanyol can win the match or even end it in a draw, then your decision to skip the match is the right decision.

I don't know why the hell I didn't think skip the match.



I had many doubts that Barcelona would win this game, but then I thought: "There is no way Barcelona to disappoint because he would be facing a team that is in last place and barcelona needed to win the game to take first place...". But it was a complete waste of money. Is the second time I lose money by betting on a Barcelona game

no i think everybody has no doubt that barcelona goin to win over espanyol who basically are really struggle at the very bottom of the table , but shit happens. the unexpected result come as espanyol seems have an extra power besides extra players due the de jong red card.

eventhough they get a draw , barcelona still on the top of table have the same point of 40 but real madrid lost a goals difference.

barcelona next match is against granda at camp nou while real madrid have to visit mestalla.
still i think both teams will get a win.
eventhough real madrid are on harder situation.

Barcelona decides 4 of my previous multi bet wins. I am actually very optimistic that they will win against Espanyol. Even though they were behind in the first round I'm sure they will definitely turn things around in the second round. Sure enough they scored in minutes 50 and 59. But then d'jong get a red card. I immediately thought Espanyol would score a goal back. And that happens before the game ends.

The goal from the Chinese international Wu Lei sealed the doom for Barcelona in a game where Messi was anonymous for most part of the game. Espanyol started the second half of the game with more vigor and was surprised to see them conceding such quick goals and the sending off De Jong was very crucial to Espanyol getting a point in the game.

Atletico can beat Eibar easily. So Sevilla will play with Real. It is not looks easy
I mean Atletico will overtake Sevilla tonight.

gonna try another single bet in FA cup...Or perhaps Espanyol double chance?  

Ugh! Why didn't I take this? Don't you hate it when that happens? Espanyol DB was @3.xx odds  At least I won my single bet (Benfica ML) and Barca drop points so, i'm happy (: Barcelona are so shit in away games, jesus christ. I was expecting to wake up to the news of Valverde getting sacked, but i guess the board will wait until Napoli KO's barcelona out of the CL.

Anyways, watching Real Sociedad vs Villareal right now, and home team's 1-0 up in HT, some great football from them. I took Real to WIN @1.86, hopefully the 2nd half is more of the same.

Am I the only one feeling that the 4th goal "normally" would be an easy job for Stegen?

Nah, that shot had too much power, clinical finishing.

Didn't see the goal but Ter Stegen is currently in the form of his life. For me he is by far the best keeper in the world at the moment. He already produced some saves this season which look unreal so I wouldn't put it past his abilities to save that one. No matter how good the shot was

[akmal1984]

With a red card from Barcelona players in the 75th minute made Barcelona's concentration weak and unable to maintain until the end of the match, even though 2 minutes from normal time would end and Wu Lei from Espanyol was able to score against Barcelona and make the same position.

Espanyol played so tightly that Barcelona found it difficult to add a goal before D'jong got a red card. They controlled the game but had little difficulty in dismantling Espanyol's defense. Mega star Messi continues to be pressed by the midfielders and defenders. Too bad even though they have the opportunity to make a distance of 2 points with Madrid but they failed to win

He had no chance to save that shot. It was a low shot with enough power which sent the ball straight to the corner of the net...Watch the replay, it was a wonderful shot.

I took Real to WIN @1.86 ✘

My first loss of the weekend. Fuck Real Sociedad. Off to the next game.

[jostorres]

It is at least a bit of entertaining league to begin with, not like normally these teams don't compete against each other but right now if you look at premier league for example, it is basically over, Liverpool is champions, here tho there is a bit of competition between the two and that makes it a bit more entertaining.

Though there is competition in inter-Juve and Bayern-Liepzig as well but still anything as classic as Barça-Madrid competition is never ending and much sweeter. I personally wagered on Barça winning the league this summer so hopefully no matter who close the league goes, in the end Barça wins, I am not fan of neither and have my own team in another nation but I have money laying around and these last few weeks have been a bit difficult for me to watch

[slaman29]

Barcelona are doing exactly what Real were doing in the early season: draw all the time. Very frustrating and for the first time in months I see Messi look like how he was when we lost to Liverpool half a year ago.

We need to find a way to bring the stars back to confidence. Because Real already found a way to do exactly this. Very, very frustrating.

[buwaytress]

tokes yeah, it's refreshing after years (or even a decade?) or two-horse finishes. I'm still hoping for an upset and some glory for Atletico but they've been annoyingly as inconsistent as the current big boys at the top 2. Sevilla, even, just an outlier. Glad I ditched Granada a few games back, although they won today, they were never going to last the marathon.

It's still Barcelona this year, though, because Messi. Hoping Atletico likes the problem of prioritising when we meet in CL in February!

It was bound to be a difficult match for Barcelona given that
1. Espanyol had just changed management, usually players tend to get motivated and revitalized under new Bosses
2. It's a derby

I always avoid such matches when betting

That was a good start for Real Madrid by winning with a clean sheet game and another reason for losing a point of Barcelona against their Local rival, this season is getting too competitive I guess because already top-four teams are running with a low difference each other so losing a point will pay a huge cost for every team, whatever the case is, Real Madrid is going up very tactically and Zidan is keeping on his eyes with his squad, I think this season will be another successful moment for both Zidan and Real Madrid.

I think we should only consider the two top teams as we all know the real fight will be between Real and Barcelona.It is a good thing that two other teams are fighting hard to climb their way to the top and it adds beauty to the La Liga but I think they will not be as constant as Real and Barcelona in their results.

For me I think Real will win this year LaLiga, i'm much more for the Premier League but of-course watch LaLiga as well, imo Real have been playing much worse football as Barca though Barca only playing well when Messi is on the pitch (whats really weird cause talent enough) ...
But Real manage to win games even when they play bad... both teams got good players, got good keepers, i'm not sure about there coaches I think in previous seasons Zidane had the luck on his side many times, maybe now his a bit more maturing in his role as a coach... time will tell.
But I do think and hope when Hazard is back on the pitch he will bring that extra value to get the title with Real this year....

For the Champions League I think they both will be not winning though ...

I have noticed the Real Madrid graph has continued to improve in the last few games in La Liga. Even though some of them ended in a draw, but in terms of the game they were more compact with each other. Because of that Barca could not beat them at the time el clasico.I agree with you for La Liga this season Real Madrid deserves to be the champion.

I always avoid such matches when betting

I will also start thinking better before betting on such games, when I do all the analysis I did not consider the chance of Barcelona losing the game. In my opinion at the time was that Barcelona would win very easily because with a win they would be in first place in La Liga. Anyway, it was a nasty game that next time I will think better before placing any bets

For me I think Real will win this year LaLiga

I really like Real Madrid, but in my opinion Barcelona have a better chance of win La Liga

Both of them competed for the LaLiga trophy this season, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same opportunity to win the trophy this season, and I can't predict who will be the champion of this season but I like the game of Real Madrid from the first.

With Courtois looks like back on his best form and just waiting for eden hazard doing the same thing ... as time goes by barcelona should be careful with real madrid on the rise.

I would backing real madrid to win the la liga title this year too , barcelona have a serious problem with their manager valverde ... the fans enough pissed off with the unsatisfying valverde coaching style.
