La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Captain Corporate]

 I checked sportsbet.io for the bets and I can tell you that "result, both teams to score" is a lucrative looking bet. It says 1.82 for madrid to win but not both teams to score. Which means if Mallorca doesn't score and madrid scores just one goal, you get 1.82 return. Thats actually quite lucrative if you ask me considering madrid to win is at 1.31 which really doesn't worth it. There are some other bets as well like under 2.5 which is 2.25 right now, and I think scoring 2 goals looks to be enough for madrid as well, they are not a high scoring team.

 You have to remember this team has a solid defense and got scored less than any team in the league except Real madrid. But they haven't scored all that much as well. With all of that and the big pandemic break in mind, zero goals in the game is 14.00 odds, I know it looks a bit uncanny and when a sportsbook says 14.00 for anything that rarely happens and looks like not going to happen. However I feel like if you want to venture into adventure that looks like a good bet.


 None of this matters of course as the game is about to play I just wanted to share what I think could happen, not suggestions, so I waited a long period to write this. I wagered on just "madrid to win, both teams won't score" 1.82 as that was the good one in my mind.

Barca remaining games aren't very hard except maybe Villareal one.

It is also the same as Real Madrid, only Villareal seems to be a hard match. But we cannot underestimate other matches, even they are small clubs, they can be the nightmare for Real Madrid if Zidane doesn't prepare Real's players very well. And it also can happen to Barcelona as well.

Real Madrid has to win at least 4/5 of the remaining matches. Every failure from Barca side is welcome of course 

Even, Real Madrid should be better if they can win all matches or at least only gets draw result not more than two times. I think Real Madrid must focus to think how to win all matches without thinking about the possibility of Barca's loss/defeat.

I took a handicap -1 on Atl. Madrid today
Good to see that it’s 3:0 at the moment

Tomorrow will take the risk on Valencia to win, but will wait some live odds, this is a must watch match

[logfiles]

Real is on course to win the title this season, despite his weak showing against Getafe, he managed to get 3 points. Now Barcelona is suffering so much that it cannot make good offers as before! I think Zidane will destroy Bilbao in the next round to maintain his progress in the ranking ladder, and we also have a real test for Barcelona against Villarreal.

By the way, Real Madrid also have the Yellow army (Villarreal) in the remaining matches and am anxious about them even more than Athletic Club.  Much as I want Los Blancos to lift it this season with ease. It's not yet over until it's over 
All we need to do it win all the matches and take each match as thou it was a final. It doesn't matter how bad we play, what matter is the match result, just like yesterday's game.

I took Atletico Madrid too, but with a handicap (-1.75). Because I'm sure Atletico Madrid's win is more than 2 goals. Let's party, while taking another bet.

Tomorrow will take the risk on Valencia to win, but will wait some live odds, this is a must watch match

For Granada-Valencia, it looks like I will not partake of this. too difficult for me to look for opportunities in this match.

I strongly agree that the most important thing is the outcome of the match, as Real Madrid showed when narrowly winning 1-0 against
Espanyol and Getafe. Even though Real Madrid is playing poorly, the most important thing is to win the match. Things like this have to be
done by Real Madrid to become La Liga champions. Next Real Madrid will face Bilbao, Real Madrid should be able to win competition. Here
the mental test of champions from Real Madrid will be tested.

Of course there is still the chance. Real isn't playing so good but they are winning. For Barca to have any chance Barca has to start playing much better, probably with a new coach since a lot of things is problematic in dressing room and they can't change the players.

It's really very uncomfortable to be a Barca fan now. I remember when Gerrard was in the dumps during Roy Hodgson era and my Liverpool friends were feeling so down. I never thought I'd feel it now but to read the Messi news is devastating. We still have a hope for La Liga like you say, especially when Real has to rely on Benzema and Ramos to win! But even winning the title won't fix our problems. Sigh.

[ShowOff]

It's really very uncomfortable to be a Barca fan now.

Oh, of course. There are many thing that are regrettable from the appearance of Barcelona in the last few matches. Failure to get full points has placed them second and that is not the final goal of recruiting a new coach. Really unexpected thing right ?
Its hard to say that Madrid will lose 4 more point in the rest of the match and its hard to say Barcelona will continue to win until the season end.

Never mind, I will not believe that Barcelona will win La-Liga for this season, the game is getting fewer and the distance points more difficult. Although Barcelona still has a chance to get full point for the rest of the match, but if Madrid continues to lead then all that will be in vain for Barcelona.

Barcelona is offering Griezmann now to Juve too. Allegedly asking for Rabiot, Douglas Costa and some money in exchange.

If this turns out to be true and it materializes, I think Juve will be very happy and Barca fans even more miserable. Messi doing same things to Barca he did to Argentina, turning it into his private fuck up.

Poor guy, I already said he "should" apologise from the "king" or else he will be kicked. (of course he should not).

RC Celta de Vigo - Betis

did anyone risk betting on this game? after Celta de Vigo suffered a big lose against Mallorca, will Celta de Vigo return to victory? 

For Granada-Valencia, it looks like I will not partake of this. too difficult for me to look for opportunities in this match.

I will also not make any bets for this game, for the Spanish league I will only make bets for tomorrow's games (Real Madrid, Barcelona and Getafe matches). will be very interesting games

Judging by this news from spanish radio Cadena Ser, Messi has suspended negotiations to extand the contract with Barcelona.
Messi is outraged by the situation at the club because important information is leaking to the media,  and he doesn't like club president Bartomeo.
Source : https://cadenaser.com/programa/2020/07/03/el_larguero/1593727289_858794.amp.html?__twitter_impression=true

It seems that Messi is ready to leave Barcelona next year.

I don't think Messi will decide to break the contract with Barca. you may know, Messi has been in this club since the beginning of his career. Even he received many good offers from others club, but he didn't leave Barca. He may not like Bartemeo, I think they will resolve this issue through negotiations. In 2013 we have seen some news that Messi will not play in Barcelona anymore. But What happened then? he is still playing in Barca.  on the other hand, within a few years he will retire. now he cannot give any extraordinary things through joining the new club. because, it must be taking a little more time to adapt himself to a new club. so, I think Messi will stay in Barcelona, and he should retire from staying this club.

Which is safe and absolute in life?
For Ronaldo we were also sure he would stay at Real forever but he still went to Juve.
After all, judging by this article in Marca, Manchester City really wants to bring Messi. https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2020/07/03/5eff91f7ca474156238b457f.html
As we know, his adored coach Pep Guardiola is in Manchester City and if the problems in Barcelona are not resolved soon, and Barcelona falls into a crisis and stops winning trophies, why do you think it would be so impossible for Messi to decide to end his career with his former coach?
Barcelona already lost the opportunity to win the Spanish Cup and Championship this year and due to the current situation at the club, I don't think Barcelona will win the European Champions League either.
Messi will be unhappy again.

Wtf...  Real is leading the table with a game to spare?  Trofo!  I shouldn't have paid you our '10k USD' side bet early!  Lolol.  

Don't worry mate I operate on fair level and you will get your money back if Real manages to keep their advantage. That was my intention from the moment you paid in case something like this happened and reason while the bet is still mentioned under neutral trust. Told you not to pay before final whistle is blown had a feeling there will be a twist before the end  

Lol.  Nah man it's paid, no worries.    But it was cool of you to offer tho.  Thanks.  But I can't accept. 

Til the next one.

It is not about you, when the time comes I'll send you 20$. You will receive a nice PM asking for address of your choice. If you don't give me an address I'll send it to the same address you sent 10$ to me  After all you didn't offer me much choice as well when I said that fair thing would be to scrap the bet.

Can't wait for the next one.

So tired to see Betis losing and this is because of Fekir,as in my opinion, he is to cocky and he wants the ball everytime and everytime he loses a tempo when he could easily find a team mate to give the ball but he prefers to make a dribble or do a bicycle ...so I hope Betis will sell him sooner. Besides this , I think Valencia will manage to win tonight or it's all over for them to catch a spot for europeans cup.

Can't be sure. Either way it's pretty tough race for the European spot as it is not like they are only team on the line for that race. Valencia called it on themselves failing to score three games straight and dropping to the 10th. They need to win this tonight but Granada is not that bad team as well to get past easily.

Good thing I skipped this match while preparing my bet slips earlier today, i was gonna go for a Celta win since Betis have had some really poor results lately, but then i thought maybe Betis will go back to their old form and win this game...but it ended 1-1 =P

and i'm with you, games tomorrow will offer better value than the ones today. Granada vs Valencia for example is just too risky, both teams are in awful form right now. And Valladolid vs Alaves will most likely be a 0-0 borefest lol I have my eyes on Villareal vs Barca, i might go with total goals.

edit* btw, no Hazard and no Varane for Madrid tomorrow. (source) I have a bad feeling about this game, Bilbao only lost one game since the league returned

I don't think the draw did look bad either because Betis wasn't good enough when playing away and also, I'm personally sure Valencia won't win this match because Granada itself has the same mission to hunt for 3 points so they still have the chance to become a promotion team to Europa league because they both have the same points and also their performance is not good enough after a comeback.

yeah, seems that Valencia gave up from next season European competition, team was down due to corona, and their match in Bergamo in CL, and a lot of covid cases in the team and support staff, so maybe this is the reason, but their performance after the restart is really low, and Granada has a good chance to made their way tonight

not to mention, if Rodrigo does not play, and there is some news that he is injured, job for Granada will be more easier

[justdimin]

If things are going like you guys are saying, I would say screwing up the whole team for what Messi wants is not just an option but a mandate in Barcelona nowadays. I understand that team owes him a lot but at the same time dude is getting older and he should allow the team to be great after he leaves.

However, when we are talking about a trade to Juve I do agree that it would be a bad idea and players they would get wouldn't really be worth it, you can't get another Griezzman from there. BUT! if the stories about Neymar is true, that is a trade worthy of doing very very much. Maybe they did that awful Arthur-Pjanic trade because they needed to clear some space up and with the accounting adds and removals and so forth, now they have enough money to be allowed such a trade, that way Barcelona would only get better.
