La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Harkorede]

As I imagined, Atletico won and are still in first place, it will really be very difficult for Atletico to lose a lot of games. maybe it's time to consider Atletico as the most favorite to win La Liga

What can we expect from this:

Huesca - Barcelona

is there any chance that barcelona will lose this game?

Barcelona completely dominated the first 45 minutes of the game, they are ahead through De Jong's goal, I don't think there's anyway Barcelona won't win the game, they probably will score one or two more goals, if they're able to continually create chances like they did in the first half.

[Prince Malik]

Its more than 30 minutes and Barcelona is dominating huesca in the match, and Barcelona are goal to the good and playing the with the higher possession
, its a must win for koeman boys but Barcelona defense hasn't been tested by huesca, and this season 2020/2021 the defense has broken down on attack by the opposition, Barcelona will need more goals to wrap the game up and they can do it in the first half.

The first half ended with just 1 goal and messi was very close to score the second goal from a free kick...i think barcelona will be able to score at least 1 other goal because they totally dominate the first half with 73% possession  and 13 goal attepts

Not only did the first half Barcelona dominate the match, but now entering the 60th minute Barcelona still continues to exert pressure on Huesca.
Even according to statistics Huesca got 10 goal kicks, this proves the many shots that Barcelona players have taken. I believe if Barcelona keep
attacking like this, Barcelona can score at least two more goals. Even though the game is not over yet, for me Barcelona has definitely won the match.

[boltz]

Another game from Barcelona when they have a lot of chances and yet they score only once against Huesca who is a team who fill fight to avoid relegation this season. As an extra plus from last week is the fact that they're playing much better on the midfield and De Jong is finally used on the proper way that he can pass to Messi on a clear way.

Maybe in the end Koeman will do something out of nothing at Barcelona but I still have my doubts but this 3 points taken today it might bring them back to title fighting if they win against ATL Madrid and Real this year.

If you talked about the old Barcelona I would agree, but not the current Barcelona. These days they can dominate the match and just score only 1 goal or even draw. So the stats of how many shots they have had means nothing. That killer instinct in front of goal isn't there anymore. Maybe they could try looking for much better strikers and forget about the jokers like Braithwaite and Griezmann. Both of them don't look like they can score 20+ goals a season in Barcelona shirts.

Second away win in a row, clean sheet - not bad result for current Barca. But honestly, I expected for something more because our opponents today was last team in the league. Yeah, we dominated the game, but 0:1 score is very tricky and it keep us in tension until final minutes. But win is win and we are slowly getting closer to Top 4.

[Smartvirus]

I must say, I'm glad they won as expected because, they are part of an accumulated bet I took but then, I kind of hoped for them to score more goals. Barcelona is not that sort of team that relies on a single goal to make a difference and win the game. I was a bit shaky to watch the game end. They've just got to do better this year.

Didn't had any bet on Atletico Madrid because I was obviously scared of a draw and it really seemed like a draw at some point untill Luis Suarez did what he knows how to do best and that is, scoring the winning goal. Atletico has got a strong claim to the Laliga title this season.

not a bad result for current Barca but ahead will be matches with more serious teams than bottom Huesca. this Barca squad doesn't impress and this year they could forget about winning spanish La Liga.

My question thou is who's going to be displaced Marcelo or Mendy?

Good news if this really happens. Zidane has long-term thinking, Alaba's young age he is a major player in Munich. Reportedly he is in demand by Barca and City as well. I think he has a chance to be a substitute / coating for Ramos or play together. Meanwhile the ramos contract expires at the end of this season but I hope this doesn't happen (the Ramos are leaving in the near future). Ramos is still a mainstay of Madrid. Alaba plays the original left-back position but when in Munich he played a lot at center-back and even played as a defensive midfielder.

David Alaba is very good player as he can play and play well in diversifying positions on field: from left swing, central defender to central midfielder. Alaba also has powerful distant shots and he scored many goals outside the 16.5 meter area.

Do Bayern Munich really let him go? I know they tried with Joshua Kimmich in the last season and harvested good results when Kimmich shown he can adapt and play very good in the midfielder position.

Ramos does not have too much time left to play at the highest level in European football leagues and Real Madrid, Zizou need to replace him and begin to prepare for this change in the important position of defense system. Raphael Varane don't show he can play as a core player in the defense system.

Atletico has taken the lead after their 4th league win in a row. They still have 2 games in hand and so far look like the biggest contender.

It's still early to dismiss even Barcelona who is 10 points behind them - let alone Real, but this season is the best chance Atletico will probably have in the near future.

They have conceded only 6 goals in 15 games (2nd is Sevilla with 11) and both Suarez and Felix are in good enough form to carry them on in attack. I hope they do win it, I dislike their football but they are the best team this season.

[kassex]

Do Bayern Munich really let him go?

Bayern offered Alaba 200,000 euros a week, but he refused. And so the bosses of Bayern allowed him to start negotiations with other clubs. Real Madrid is ready to offer Alaba a 4-year contract for 10 million a year. For Bayern Munich Alaba played 404 matches, scored 39 goals and gave 49 assists.

In my opinion, Real Madrid is the one and only team that will be able to disrupt the Atletico position because both of them have an equal opportunity to become La Liga champions.

So far, Real Madrid's performances can be said has been good enough, with 11 wins and only lost 3 times, Real Madrid is still in the race. Most likely the second match between Real Madrid and Atletico will be a crucial moment to fight for the champion seat.

For Barcelona, ​​they actually still have a chance, but because their performance has not improved either, so their chances are smaller than Atletico and Real Madrid. Moreover, they are very dependent on Messi, so if in future matches Messi can not be able to play again because of injured or something else, then Barcelona's opportunity to win the league is very small.

[slaman29]

No Messi and no Coutinho, also no Ansu Fati, the latter two in fact out for long-term, almost the entire season, so we are forced to rely on others. Braithwaite again I guess. So we'll probably have to find a different formation, different style, again only conditions are forcing us to do this but maybe it's for the better.

If I was an objective person, I'd be putting cash down on Huesca for sure.

Don't care how many players Barca is missing I would not put money on Huesca. Hell, even if Barca played with all the youngsters they should be good enough to take a point in game against Huesca. I like to think that I am an objective person and this game should be skipped when betting. There is many more games on offer today with clubs that should have more predictable performances than Barca.

I was torn between putting my money on Sociedad or Atletico Madrid today and decided on Sociedad. They looked good against Bilbao and hopefully they will start building winning streak today. Atletico Madrid has a great run and I am skipping them just because they have to slip up sooner or latter.

Good thing I'm not an objective person. But you were right as it turned out, 0-1, probably poor 1.4x odds to justify big betting. Happy of course to get the points without so many key players and the stats showed we dominated (didn't watch highlights yet so can't really know how the team played til later.

I'm def not objective when it comes to Barca but I'm trying not to bet on any game with them anymore.

Sorry about Sociedad:)

[CryptocurencyKing]

I'm def not objective when it comes to Barca but I'm trying not to bet on any game with them anymore.

Lol, it's ironic how a team that was once seeked for betting options with an almost sure win could be avoided this days. Just now I'm beginning to look at it from the angle that, Lionel Messi isn't at all good with young stars. As these stars are out to shine on the pitch and Messi is used to being fed as king in Barcelona.
There might be other issues but, I feel this is one major thing affecting the team. An advantage Real Madrid is failing to make proper use of but, Atletico Madrid is surely making waves with it. Either ending most of there games in a win or at least a draw to remain consistent.

[Xxmodded]

Barcelona managed to get the full three points during the visit to Huesca but Barca's front line is still very dull, can only score one goal at Huesca's home through De Jong and proves that so far the Barcelona attacker has had difficulties in scoring goals including Lionel Messi. There must be a change in the pattern of play so that Barcelona can score more than two goals per game because currently Barca are still far below Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona missed many opportunities, they could have scored at least 3 or 4 goals in that game. Dembélé simply missed a great opportunity, he didn't even manage to kick the ball... the Huesca goalkeeper seems to have entered this game with the aim of stopping any Messi shot and managed

proves that so far the Barcelona attacker has had difficulties in scoring goals including Lionel Messi.

True, I don’t understand why so far they don’t think about changing all the attacker  and hiring others, Messi play very well, but they don’t have superpowers, if other players are not good he will be limited

Barcelona have different formation right now, Ronald Koeman looks playing with 3-5-2 as left and right back become most attacker and looks not the icon for Barcelona formation before with 4-3-3, maybe different formation give bad change how Barca playing right now with most difficulty to make more scoring goal each match, lately for Messi miss created goal for Barcelona with open play and almost Messi goal coming from penalty in this season. Maybe Koeman have back again formation 4-3-4 for Barcelona and playing with tiki tika as barcelona playing icon.

Today there is an interesting match for  valencia against cadiz because valencia are in the relegation zone and they havent won in seven matches plus cadiz are not able to win in their last four games and they couldnt score either so valencia need to win to get out from their difficult situation.

A defender is always welcome in most teams especially if he can play in different positions. Meanwhile Bayern defence isn't that good they need to find another way to fix it..

Today there is an interesting match for  valencia against cadiz because valencia are in the relegation zone and they havent won in seven matches plus cadiz are not able to win in their last four games and they couldnt score either so valencia need to win to get out from their difficult situation.

Failure in its best way, both teams are struggling to win and Valencia is menaced to stay at risk if it will not win this. Since they are desperate I think they might win!
