La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hahay]

There are 3 draws in the last 4 matches. Barcelona and this grana match can actually be very important for them. So I think they will win in this game, they have to play a little better in the second half and they have to play attacks.

So far Barcelona have performed well only by looking at the match statistics so it is possible to win the match, but only with a draw is also not a bad thing because the two top teams there will continue to be close competitors throughout the season.

Stats can be deceptive, especially for Barca's kind of football. I am watching the match and it's pretty much so average for Barcelona's standards at Camp Nou. This is the kind of match where Granada can make a shocker and it ends in a draw (they actually just hit the woodwork a few minutes ago, so unlucky!)

Edit:
Granada's Sanchez just got a red card, I guess luck is in Barca's favor for the next 20 minutes.

True ... although they have the setien possession-ball style , they are struggling to find a space to the penalty box and making a real threat.

Sometimes when a team focused attacking and play the possession... the opponent team is planning to do a quick counter , an unstoppable one , often happened and it's always dangerous.
Luckily Barcelona come out as a winner with a single goal from messi in the last 15 minutes of the game. A hard earned points.

Well, today we saw something similar to old good Barca. Over 80% ball posession, over 1000 passes made eith good accuracy. Though, final result doesn't looks amazing, considering that opponent parked a bus and played one man down for 20 minutes. I think it's mainly because of missing Suarez and it can be serious problem against stronger opponents. Good thing about this match - finally we didn't conceded goal, it's rare thing this season.
And goodbye to my over 3.5 goals bet on this game :/.

On the one hand, Barcelona has gradually become more and more Messi-dependencia, that is surely not good for them. On the other hand, Messi has become older and older each season that consequently negatively affected his performance on the pitch. I doubt that Barcelona will maintain their positions in top 2 or 3 of La Liga next few seasons.

I think the main reason why Barca lacked goals last night is due to the inexperience of Ansu Fati. Individually, he is superb player but playing in Barcelona's team means you have to combine with other players in the box to score goals. The only goal scored in the match was sample of Barca style. Riqui recovered the ball, passed it to Bussi, who then passed the ball to Messi, who gave ball to Griezmann in the box, Grizzi then flicked it to Vidal who created room for Messi and Messi finished it with calm push. But Ansu Fati is still very young to adapt to this system but he will learn with time.

I have no doubts when Dembele will be fit, it would be impossible for any team to stop Barcelona with Griezmann-Messi-Dembele upfront playing with Setien's style. Suarez has already become too slow to come as regular starter. I wish Barcelona use him like Liverpool use Origi once he's fit.

Stats are very deceptive for Barca I have to agree,,, and Real Madrid. Barcelona plays with possession but not necessarily with a lot of attacks with good chances whereas if you play with few stars who have less ability then they do not tend to pass a lot or dribble, but try to go for direct attacks so definitely misleading if you do not watch the game.

Tight La Liga season!

[slaman29]

A win is a win I guess but yeah, we totally weren't playing to our best level at all, which keep seeming to be our major problem the entire time. No new coach effect from what I could see but perhaps the pressure of playing at home is making everyone on edge. Actually Granada's red card made me worried they'd defend even more but as it turned out, Messi saved our asses again.

The surprise of this week in La Liga was the defeat Atletico Madrid.They lost 2-0 to Eibar a team in the last places of the standings.This reinforces my belief that La Liga is only divided through Real Madrid and Barcelona.This year is the same also,it only is more beautiful as they are both with equal points.Other teams in La Liga are just to fulfill the number of teams to 20.

Real Madrid, Barcelona have already been defeated by other weak teams so this is not a new surprise
Eibar also continues to struggle to stay away from the red zone, the same thing happens in other leagues.

[Slow death]

this was a very bad round for me:

Eibar - Atletico Madrid ( 2 - 0 )



unbelievable, Atletico do not score at least 1 goal, It was a disaster

RCD Mallorca - CF Valencia ( 4 - 1 )



it was a game where valencia was very humiliated, every time Mallorca scored, I thought, "How many goals are these guys going to score?"

Athletic Bilbao - RC Celta de Vigo ( 1 - 1 )



I stopped watching this game in the 80th minute because I thought it would end in a draw

Real Madrid - FC Sevilla ( 2 - 1 )



at least real madrid won

i thought they will only lost by 1-0 only as per defensive record they used to lost by 1 goal difference. that 90 minutes goal of course broke it and make the match ended with 2-0 for eibar, what a shock. they are fading away from the title race now by collected 35 points only from the total of 20 matches they have played so far , 8 points different from the top and second place real madrid & barcelona, now they even have to be in the battle of champions league zone with sevilla, getafe, real sociedad and valencia .

and of course an interesting match on barcelona.

despite they only win for 1-0 , but everybody agree that the old barcelona philosophy of tiki-taka it seems back to camp nou with setien as a manager, look at that messi goal they are went full tiki-taja, we love to see that coming in the next barcelona matches.

The LaLiga season's half has just begun, all the matches are going on fiercely where residents of the lower standings can surprisingly beat the top teams.

 Atletico Madrid 0-2 SD Eibar
 Mallorca 4-1 Valencia
 Betis 3-0 Real Sociedad
 Villareal 1-2 Espanyol

 While the top standings are still too tough
 Barcelona 1-0 Granada
 Real Madrid 2-1 Sevilla

I've watched Barca game with a high interest. And i kind of didn't get disappointed.

Barcelona returned to its old self, again the ball has been passed for thousand times, at a higher speed and intensity.

Though, it's not still safe to bet on this team and expect anything different than sure ball possession. Let's wait and see what this coach can bring to the team, to the league and even to the whole continent. Barca that would not bottle three-goal lead? Yeah, that would have been something new in the Champions League.

[tomahawk9]

And just like that, we have more games in Spain, but this time in the Copa del Rey. Who doesn't like midweek games 

Given how the format changed this season (single-match), does anyone expect an upset? We're used to seeing the big teams getting KO'd in England in the league cup, maybe we'll see something like that in this "brand new" Copa del Rey? Fixtures for the top teams:

Sevilla vs Levante
Ibiza vs Barcelona
Salamanca vs Real Madrid
Lugroñes vs Valencia
Cultural Leonesa vs Atletico Madrid

[watergold]

 While the top standings are still too tough
 Barcelona 1-0 Granada
 Real Madrid 2-1 Sevilla

Both teams won and the points are the same but Barcelona is superior.
For next week's match Barcelona will face Valencia and in my opinion this is quite tough, Barcelona should not be fooled anymore because if you lose then Real Madrid will overtake it because it will be faced with an easy team.

[FanEagle]

Premier league had a lot of games like this in the first weeks, a lot of unexpected losses or ties by the big clubs (except Liverpool obviously) but for some reason la liga was going decent, Barcelona and Madrid had a lot of bad games but they are having a bad season so odds show that at least which I can really enjoy.

This week was one of those weeks where sportsbooks are basically thanking God and hoping same will happen every week . I love betting right after these weeks, usually teams who got humiliated ends up winning with a good margin, they play a very attack football and try to recover from this week, that is why I will probably wager even more next week and try to recoup all the losses easily, its kinda like martingale version of sports betting .

[Upgrade00]

The race for the title gets tighter as we approach the pivitotal point of the season. The UEFA Champions league would be resuming soon, and this means tighter fixtures and less time to rest. The league battle would be dependent on how far both teams go in the European competition and which they choose to prioritize.
Most people think the team which drops early has a better chance if succeeding locally, but psychologically, I believe it's the team which goes further which has a better chance.

I do not think valencia is a tough match for barcelona, A Barcelona loss would only me the new coach is inadequate.
Valencia lost this weekend at 4 goals to 1, perhaps valencia is having a run of bad games.


I see barcelona winning easily with atleast 3 goals

You will be surprised my friend. Don't rule out Valencia or look at the match as a walk through for Barca just yet. The 4-1 Loss to Mallorca was probably a bad day in office for Valencia. They can still put up a strong opposition against Barca in the upcoming match
