La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Xxmodded]

Sevilla managed to defeat Barcelona 2-0 in Copa Del Rey and proved that they have the capability to take Barcelona down. They are having a marvelous season. Sevilla are now 1 point ahead of Barcelona, being the 3rd. They have also a very nice win streak. It will be a tough game for each side of course. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends in a draw.

Yeah hard game and will depends from top players performance on matchday. A draw is very possible and will be the best result for both Real Madrid and ATM, like that they will stay distant a little from both threats!

Very hard for Barcelona after draw by Alaves last week and I think faced with Sevilla give more hard how to back win track record, although on first leg copa del rey success get winning with 2-0 I think La Liga become different for Barcelona and look not possibility to get three points, maybe Barcelona faced problem how to get back on champion league and come back from PSG.

Honestly at an aggregate result maybe Sevilla may win and go to finals but I feel like they may not end up winning the game itself, so to wager on sevilla for this game would be weird. In fact wagering against Barcelona in any Spanish game would be weird, even against ATM or Real, I would still consider it few times over before I can wager against Barcelona.

However I feel there won't be even a need for that because Barcelona will not only win the game, they will probably end up winning the whole aggregate as well, scoring 2+ goals against Sevilla is not that shocking and impossible for a team like Barca, they are great offensively and they will be capable of fighting to make that possible. Will they succeed? I think they can, but they will certainly fight for it. They are going to be eliminated from champions league, and La Liga looks tough, they really need this cup to have a silverware at the end of the season.

I think look risk and less chance to win if you wage for Sevilla, how ever Barcelona will play hard because only with Copa Del Rey as bigger opportunity in this year to get trophy, they have miss many chance with champion league, La Liga and now just left with Copa Del Rey, I think Lionel Messi will fight hard as last season for Barcelona and leave by giving Barcelona fans copa del rey trophy.

Barcelona should have an easy win tonight against Elche and probably would be an over 2.5 goals and both teams to score game.Barcelona really needs to step up their game as they are not in their best form.Paris beat them heavily while they were not able to win against Cadiz,it is time for them to get back fighting to tonight.

They definitely need to pull themselves together otherwise they will lose their chance on the La Liga championship completely. Elche are a very easy opponent for them and I think we could see a similar result to the Alaves game which ended 5-1.

One peculiar thing about Barcelona lately is the fact that they struggle against any team; it doesn't matter if you are PSG or Cadiz; just be compact and good and you can take points off Barcelona. More of it is what i expect tonight; A 2-2 draw at camp nou for Barcelona against Elche

Frankly, I don't expect any loss of points for Barcelona in this match. They couldn't get a win in their last two matches. Firstly losing to PSG 1-4 and drawing with Cadiz 1-1 after that. They need an immediate win not to continue their bad form. This is one of the best chances for it. I think the first half will be balanced but Barcelona will finish the job in the second half with at least 2-goal difference.

[AakZaki]

Indeed Barcelona is in very critical situation right now it seems they are under pressure to win the title and making a lot of mistakes in games they played lately. On other side Atletico Madrid is in very good shape and have good advantage by difference of points hopefully they would make comeback in next game and won't give chance to Real Madrid to get closer so let's see how they will make this possible.

You're right, their next opponent is a strong team. I hope Real Madrid can take advantage of this situation. Even though both of them have busy schedules I'm sure they have a way of dealing with fatigue. The role of the Coach is very useful in this regard. Luckily the interval between UCL and Spanish league matches was a little long. I can't wait for their match on March 7, it will definitely be exciting. The last match,  Madrid won 3-0 against Atletico Madrid, I hope this happens again.

Elche has negative statistics against Barcelona. Not only have they lost all the meetings, but also have not scored a single goal in the last 5 meetings, and the last games Elche did not play very convincingly - 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses.

Isn't that a bit of an overreaction? I mean Barcelona has won 7 out of their last 10 games, have 2 loss and 1 tie. Sure Cadiz game was disappointing and I know that, but there was some sort of coming out of a PSG game situation there that affected them, plus La Liga doesn't really have a proper roster registration process, you get to have a tiny roster so the lack of depth plays a role, and at the end of the day Barcelona could have been just tired.

But, just because they had a bad few games recently doesn't negate that huge win streak they were on very very recently, they were still great up until like 10 days ago, but had a just a couple bad games, plus losing to PSG is not really that weird neither. Long story short I feel like they are still great, they could still play and win against any team in the world, just because they haven't in the last few games doesn't change that.

Barcelona scored the first goal of today's match. The only goal of the match for Barcelona in the 48th minute was scored by the great Lionel Messi. There was a remarkable goal. The first half ended in a goalless draw, but Barcelona took a 1-0 lead at the start of the second half. I hope I can see a few more goals in this match

*btw, The game has been on for 68' minutes with Barca 70% on the ball possession but an additional goal has yet to come...
most likely this match will be won by Barca even though only 1 goal. Barca increasingly overshadows Real Madrid.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Finally, Lionel Messi finally breaks the yoke of hard luck on the Barca team and net the first goal of the game in the 48th minute after a first half goalless draw. I'm sure lots of Barca fans were already in disarray by this first half until now. Messi gradually redeeming his title as still the hero of Barca. I was beginning to think that, the youngsters in the Barca team were growing to meet up the challenges of the team in the Laliga to meet up with the stakes of Messi's absence from the team but this past few games is proving otherwise.

Well, lets just hope they stay ahead and score more goals in this match. There is still a lot of time on the clock for Elche for not just an equalizer but a win even, that depends on if Barca gives them that chance.

Well, first half was nothing impressive, considering that we played against mighty Elche. But I can't complain about 2nd half. Messi was great today. I'm happy to see him playing like today, but on the other hand, it's not good that team so seriously dependable on one player.
After few upsets of Atletico, fight for title isn't over yet, so we have no right to drop more points.

[Rruchi man]

Martin Braithwaite really played so well tonight, Messi on the other hand is still giving us his normal goal doses. With this win putting FCB in 3rd place, do you see topping Athletico Madrid amd Real Madrid to win the league?

[snipie]

Messi was great today. I'm happy to see him playing like today, but on the other hand, it's not good that team so seriously dependable on one player.

He will end by quitting Barca this summer or after 1-2 years so better to think about finding a good substitute for him. There isn't many names and contracts are ready to be discussed (Haaland, Mbappe...).

After few upsets of Atletico, fight for title isn't over yet, so we have no right to drop more points.

Odds are in favor of Barca (x2.2) against Sevilla (x3.2) in their hard Sunday match but even both Madrid's teams have tough games against Villarreal and Sociedad.

Levante got very interesting results against Atletico two times in a row. It will definitely help them gain more confidence in this match. Bilbao are one of the tough opponents in the league too. Bilbao have also a big predominance over Levante. I think we will see a very close game and it will end in a draw.

Lionel Messi show impressive performance last night success make brave and give chance for Barcelona wake up to get close with Atletico Madrid as competitor to get La Liga trophy this year, how ever if Barcelona keep going on with impressive performance and always take three points every match become easy how Barcelona get Atletico Madrid position on the top standing.

The match that is easy to predict between Barcelona and Elche, because Barcelona definitely dominates the match against a team in
the relegation area. So it is not surprising that Barcelona finally won 3-0. Lionel Messi and Martin Braithwaite played very impressively
with Messi scoring 2 goals and Braithwaite providing 2 assists. Barcelona's victory makes Barcelona's points closer to those of Real Madrid
and Atletico Madrid. If Barcelona can continue to play consistently, it is not impossible to win La Liga this season, because the difference of
5 points from Atletico Madrid is very likely to be pursued.

I agree on this. Atletico are only 3 points ahead of Real Madrid and 5 points ahead of Barcelona. However, Atletico have still an advantage because they are going to play one missing game too. But still it is not impossible for Real and Barça. There are still 14 weeks and everything can happen. But I'd like to see a different champion too so I'd be happy if Atletico make it.

Above is a list of injured players from Madrid. Seeing some of their mainstay players have been injured for a long time, and that's because Madrid are currently looking unstable in the match in this season. Apart from that, I saw Eden Hazard, he's been injured many times. I don't know why he's not as good as he was at Chelsea. If I'm not mistaken he has already been injured 10 times in Madrid. I hope, when he arrived he could replace Ronaldo, but I was wrong. Could it be that he needs to change his jersey number so that he is lucky and doesn't get injured repeatedly?

[masulum]

So, Madrid can only have a full squad in April, if the predictions for the return of these players are appropriate. I think this is an advantage in itself for Atletico Madrid. Although in terms of squads at this time it is enough to provide a threat to Atletico. However, if in the next few games there are other Real Madrid players who are injured, then Madrid will experience an even more shortage of players, and Zizou must have the option to face this condition to keep his chances of taking over the championship from Atletico in the end of season.
