La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[webtricks]

Barcelona got another win on home but again their play style didn't surprise me.
I expected more goals from them and it is obvious that if Messi is missing from the line up, then the team finds a lot of difficulties even when playing with weaker team such as Osasuna or Leganes.

How many more goals did you want? 10 or 20?

Barcelona scored 5, conceded none. Maintained 74% possession. Had 9 shots on target. Both central defenders were superb, especially Lenglet. Semedo was class-apart yesterday. 4 different players scored goals. I agree to some extent that team is extra-dependent on Messi to create chances but that isn't much concern for now. Yesterday's game was perfect performance from Barca. 10/10.

There is a huge difference between "Messi didn't played so they had hard time" when Messi played and they scored 5, and also saying "if Messi didn't played they would have hard time", because the first one doesn't make ANY sense at all, the second one can be understandable.

Barcelona played games without Messi before, dude has been playing for 100 years now (or feels like it) so I am pretty sure he missed a ton of games combined and Barcelona had to play without him as well, he just is a great player that you can never replace, he could have been in any team in the world and when he retires that team would have hard time finding someone.

Best case to do in those situations is to improve as a team instead of trying to find one player that will be as good as Messi, that might at least ease the pain, their defense is already top notch but I would change the whole attacking line if Messi ever leaves and get much better world star people instead.

Copa del Rey quarter-finals draw was held earlier today:

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad
Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona
Granada vs Valencia
Mirandés vs Villareal

Teams in bold are the ones I think will advance to semi finals.

Btw, not a single comment about the Madrid Derby tomorrow. smh  Atletico have been pretty underwhelming lately, but over the last few years they've always managed to put up a good fight at the Bernabeu. I'm expecting a draw.

I wouldn't change much, except that I expect Barcelona to advance against Athletic Bilbao, they're tough opponents of but, over the course of two legs, the team with the greater depth in their squad would have an advantage.
I expect Real Sociedad to be a tougher opponent for Real Madrid than Athletic Bilbao would be for Barcelona.

Btw, not a single comment about the Madrid Derby

I could go one further by predicting a goalless draw, Madrid has been more prolific in front of goal, but the atmosphere of the derby would make both teams cautious and hence a very tight game.

I'm expecting Real Madrid to come out top as usual. Athletico Madrid performances have not been up to par this season. They're currently placed at 5th position, 10 points away from title leaders – Real Madrid. At best, Athletico Madrid would only get a point from that game as real Madrid is trying to get far away from Barcelona's grip.

Barca is most unlucky in Copa. Athletic is always tough oponent at San Mames, especially considering how we play away this season.
Villarreal maybe is the most lucky, but Mirandes is dangerous, they beat Sevilla 3:1 yesterday.
About Madrid derby - Atletico is awful in recent weeks, but I'm not sure that really matters when it comes to derby. It's impressive thing that they haven't lost at Bernabeu for 6 years.

[slaman29]

Don't support anyone but today I'll hope for Atletico to somehow overcome an inform Real. They actually have a pretty impressive track record compared to anyone else outside the top 2 for the past 2 seasons, so I'm counting on them to help peg back the current league leaders! @toma you really think Barca will drop out in the next Copa round?

[boltz]

This year, Real Madrid is gonna win the league as Barcelona seem to moved their focused only on Champions League. Real - ATL Madrid 0-0 first 20 minutes so far and Real is playing better so I wouldn't be surprised if Real scores until the break. Any predictions for Valencia please ? I know that Valencia likes to have good and bad periods on the same time so if they had 3 winning games they will lose the next 2 and make a draw....

Don't talk about that word "Draw". I hope Real Madrid will win this game because I bet that Real Madrid will win this game

current result:

Real Madrid - Atletico Madrid ( 0 - 0 )

The game is in the 40 minutes

[tomahawk9]

Atletico Madrid are now 13 pts behind the leaders, and they could potentially drop to 7th but only if Valencia and Real Sociedad win their games. Reminder: Simeone is the highest paid manager in Europe LOL 

@toma you really think Barca will drop out in the next Copa round?

Why yes, i do think they're gonna get KO'd..haven't you seen Barca in away games? They've been awful, and against Athletic at San Mamés? Odds are totally against Barcelona.

I hope Real Madrid will win this game because I bet that Real Madrid will win this game

Happy that my team helped you win your bet. Enjoy those profits

ATM is a good team and Simeone is one of the best managers, it is true they have problems to win lately but Real Madrid game today wasn't very easy too.
Valencia and Real Sociedad games this weekend are way easier than ATM so yeah its rank may drop to 7 likely

It was not a game with many goals, but I am very happy that Real Madrid win



Tomorrow game:

Barcelona - Levante (who knows bercelona will lose)  

I wonder if barcelona lose tomorrow match what will happen to their fans? no doubt that barcelona fans will cry if they lose tomorrow

[coinlocket$]

Damn forgot about the game and I messed it.

Why Atletico sucks so much this year? They were on our Champion's league group and they don't impress at all.





I mean they lost key players but they got Joao and other decent players, Idk why they didn't' spend all the money tbh, they have 60m on the bank.

Congrats, mate. You won it, plus your club won the match as well. I bet you are a Real Madrid fan. FYI, I am also RM fan and really happy to see the result of the match. I'm pretty sure that Real Madrid is getting closer to have the La Liga trophy.

I wonder if barcelona lose tomorrow match what will happen to their fans?

Yeah, it is not impossible. But I think they won't lose at home. How poor if Barcelona is defeated at home by a small club like Levante.

~snip~ FYI, I am also RM fan and really happy to see the result of the match. I'm pretty sure that Real Madrid is getting closer to have the La Liga trophy.

Then let's vote on this thread, buddy. we fellow Real Madrid fans must support him wholeheartedly. last night I watched with the match in the middle of the city and came home late at night. It was a great match, Real Madrid getting stronger at the top of the standings and hoping to become LaLiga champions at the end of the season. 

The next match at LaLiga Real Madrid will be against:
Osasuna vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo
Levante vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid vs Barcelona.

Congrats on Real Madrid's victory and I had predicted this result beforehand about the few goals in this derby match. However, Real Madrid will definitely get the title this season in La Liga because we know their competitors can not even appear more consistent even though the point difference is close enough, but I am sure Real Madrid is able to play better until the end of the season.

I think it's not certain, because the distance of points is still not too far, especially if there is an El Clasico match and that will determine who will be the champion.

We just have to hope that barcelona lose many games and real madrid win many games so that real madrid becomes a champion. Barcelona is very dependent on Lionel Messi, in my opinion I haven't seen them play well in the last games, and if that continues they may lose games and if Real Madrid play well they could be champions.

especially if there is an El Clasico match and that will determine who will be the champion.

we fellow Real Madrid fans must support him wholeheartedly.

I agree

[Ulven]

Tonight we have a confrontation between Barcelona and Levante, The Levante club is always dangerous for the Barcelona defense lines, I'm going in a draw in my bet, Barcelona is unable to perform beautiful games.

[slaman29]

I don't like throwing in everything so early, but if Barca don't win this today, then we should prepare to see the trophy get in the hands of Sergio Ramos end of the season. I really thought Atletico might win or at least draw but Benzema had other thoughts.

I went with emotion and put a lot of money into the game tonight as well!
