La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[casperBGD]

~snip
Whoever loses receives that  is the slogan and the law of football and Real Madrid paid the price for not translating his many chances in the first half .
 Sociedad entered pressure and eager to score in the second half in front of the amazement of most of the Real Madrid players who were lost until the last quarter hour !
 and Barcelona has become second in the table that is before the derby next week, in which Real Madrid needs a win if he wants to stay in the race.

yeah, agree with that, they should have a better translation between players, there are many nationalities, and they probably do not speak same languages
nevertheless, Madrid should do better, but it was to be expected that since Barca and Atletico won their tough matches this round (Sevilla and Villareal on a side), one favorite has to go down, and Madrid on Monday was a perfect opportunity for that , I skipped betting on this match, as I usually skip Monday betting on favorites

[slaman29]

^^ Can I pretend I'm not seeing all the news on Barcagate and just happily lose myself in the ignorant bliss of football? Maybe not...

Anyway, we're on a really good streak now, only 2 points dropped in the last 7 games (not counting Copa and UCL of course haha haha haha). So of course nice to see Sociedad hold Real, just they should have held on like 5 more minutes ah!!

Game on La Liga!

Real Madrid had a lot of chances to score a goal in the game and decide the fate of the match in the first half. Unfortunately, not lucky. But Real Madrid needs a top forward if they want to win something next season. This season is most likely Real Madrid will end up with no trophies.

It is hard to be able to say that Real Madrid deserved a win in this match. Because "2 out of 21 shots on goal" is not a good statistics for them certainly. They barely scored a goal in the 89th minute and saved a point. With this clumsiness, Real's job will be very hard when it comes to the championship.

They tried to win yesterday we saw that zidane made changes in the seconde half with casemiro as a third central back to allow lucas vasquez and mendy play the offensive freely to help the attack but they left a lot of spaces on the middle and they conceided a goal and i think they lack quality players thats why they are performing so poorly this season and i do not think they will win a trophy this season.

I feel bad for Real Sociedad because they could not win this match. They deserved 3 points from this match. Admittedly, Real Madrid played very badly in this match. Out of 20 shots, only 3 are on-target shots. We do not expect such performances from any of the first tier teams

[AakZaki]

Yep, it was a bad game for Real Madrid. How can they only make 3 shots on target from the 20 shots they made totally? This showed us that the quality of Madrid strikers without Benzema is very poor right now. Zidane needs some new top CF (Central Forward) in the next season and doesn't rely on Benzema only. Real Madrid plays not only in La Liga, but they also play in the Champions League. It is not good to have only a single experienced CF (Benzema), while others are inconsistent CF.

Anyway, it was lucky that Vinicius can save Real Madrid by scoring 1 goal in the minute 89'. If not, Real Madrid will get a shame result at home this time.

A pretty bad result, I hope Madrid win. This result makes the difference in points with Atletico even further. Atletico has five more points  and have fewer games. Then in the next match they (madrid and Athletico) wiwill meet. I think if Real Madrid want to continue competing for the La Liga title, they have to win against Atletico. I hope some of their senior players can play. And regarding the squad, Madrid was not very active in transfers. I don't understand if they are really having a hard time with money or if they don't want to spend money. This is what makes me disappointed because they don't have a good substitute alternative.

[Xxmodded]

Real Madrid should give thank much to Vinicius Junior because last night one goal at the end game make Madrid success from loss, I think Real Madrid have big problem on forward after Karim Benzema injury and Eden Hazard become bad buying player for Real Madrid transfer, exactly Madrid have load Luka Jović and just get only fit forward right now and not any get attempt so far.

[hahay]

After all, this is a match for the top-ranking team and I don't think it was a bad result for either of them because in fact, their first game of the season ended in a draw too. So yeah, I don't think it's a bad result for Madrid because previously we realized that Real Madrid and Barcelona would be difficult to win the LaLiga title this season because of the chaotic conditions of the team. Now, their points are the same and luckily Atletico Madrid's dominance is decreasing, so I feel it will be the end of a very tight season for the top 3 teams.
Anything can still happen ahead!

A month ago, Atletico led by a nice point difference, which is difficult to miss the league title from..
especially since historically no club has lost the title after it reached more than 8 points on the runner up differenc.
Today, after many stumbling blocks for Atletico and the likes of Barça and Real Madrid, we find that the difference has reached back to 5 points with one game remaining, Atletico can make the difference back to 8 if they wins .

Villarreal are going to play an away game against Valencia this week. Villarreal are the 7th with 37 points and Valencia are the 14th with 27 points. Villarreal didn't get any win (3D 2L) and Valencia got 2 wins (2W 1D 2L) in the last 5 games in the league. Valencia won their last 2 home games. Villarreal got draws in their last 3 away games. In the last 5 (official) head-to-head games, Villarreal won twice and Valencia won 3 times. In this season, Villarreal beat Valencia 2-1 home on Oct 18, 2020.

Missing player(s) at Valencia: Denis Cheryshev
Missing player(s) at Villarreal: Francis Coquelin, Mario Gaspar, Vicente Iborra

Villarreal haven't been winning for 7 matches. They showed a great performance against Atletico in their last match but still lost it. They will definitely want to get a win here. I think it is time for them to win finally and they will beat Valencia.

Breaking news: Bartomeu has been arrested!

''Josep Maria Bartomeu, the former president of Barcelona, has been arrested by the Mossos d'Esquadra this Monday morning.It is in relation to the Barcagate scandal (see here: https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2020/02/18/5e4b2859e2704ef7868b460a.html) from last February, with police having visited and searched the club offices this Monday as well.''

Another big shock for Barcelona at the most critical moment of the season, how they will recover from it?
This is probably the hardest year for Barcelona, huge financial debt, big results crisis, Messi plans to leave the club and now this latest scandal.
What do you think?

Bad news continues to come for Barcelona. I really wonder what kind of a Barcelona we will see in the next season. They are doing whatever they can to be the champions in the La Liga this season and maybe they will succeed in it also. But I think Barcelona are under a big danger for the next season unless they somehow find a way out of these crises. They can really have a much worse season than now.

If Messi leaves Barcelona next season, the Barcelona team will face a big disaster. There are many young talented players on the Barcelona team. They are very talented but they are not experienced enough. The team is still totally dependent on Messi. Barcelona will not be in the top three of the points table next season unless they rely on Messi.

Messi is already a senior player and will not be able to play at the highest level for a long time.
Barcelona, on the other hand, is in a serious financial crisis and urgently needs money.
I don’t think it’s a healthy or good strategy to depend too much on a single player, even when it comes to Messi.
The best thing Barcelona could do is give more chance and trust to their young players and start over, on new and healthy foundations with a likely reduced financial framework.

A pretty bad result, I hope Madrid win. This result makes the difference in points with Atletico even further.

Yep, this makes the gaps getting bigger. Why Real Madrid waste the chance for 3 points at home? I don't think the reason is the absence of Benzema. They didn't play against big teams. Real Madrid substitution players even can win if they play seriously and effectively.

I think if Real Madrid want to continue competing for the La Liga title, they have to win against Atletico. I hope some of their senior players can play.

Indeed. They must win against Atletico Madrid in the upcoming match if they still dream for the title. Yeah, let's hope if Sergio Ramos and Benzema can play together because it will give a big impact on Real Madrid's performance. Benzema is the most effective Real's striker to score, while Sergio Ramos is still the best defender in Real Madrid who knows well how to beat Atletico.

I agree with you, the Real Madrid result disappointed me, I think Benzema does have a lot to do with the spirit, now the meeting with Atlético de Madrid is going to be a very difficult Derby, Cholo Simeone wants to surprise, he knows very well the strengths and weaknesses of Real Madrid.

 I hope that Real Madrid will show its claw and show the good football that we are used to seeing.

I think the reason for Real Madrid dropping points again is  when you see the stats after the match, you find that the player who most shot at Sociedad's goal is basically a pivot (Casemiro 6 shots), so you notice that the problem is in scoring and shooting and all of that is the failure of the attackers and this situation is still repeated since the beginning of the season.
Everyone will talk about the impact of Benzema’s absence, because he knows that his absence means the presence of the catastrophic Mariano, but when compared to another super attacker, the equation will be different .
If there were a striker, a first-class scorer behind him, a midfield of such quality in the industry and creating opportunities, he would have come out with the Golden Boot with ease after the end Season .

Real Madrid should give thank much to Vinicius Junior because last night one goal at the end game make Madrid success from loss, I think Real Madrid have big problem on forward after Karim Benzema injury and Eden Hazard become bad buying player for Real Madrid transfer, exactly Madrid have load Luka Jović and just get only fit forward right now and not any get attempt so far.

I'm not a Real fan but this is what I've been saying for many games already. We at Barca would have to count on Fati and our youth, just too bad for his bad injury keeping him away from action but others like Real will also have to start counting more on guys like Vinicius, and he HAS been delivering for them, whether they want to admit it or not.

Can't keep buying nonperforming Hazards really:)

Benzema has scored 12 goals and made 5 assists in 21 La Liga games which means he is a big loss for Real as he is the most scorer. We've seen it in the Atalanta game in the CL too. His return date is still unknown and this could even cost Real Madrid their championship chance.

I think bad choose for Real Madrid when loan Luka Jovic last summer because now only left one forward for Real Madrid after Benzema injury, management still focus with renovation for Bernabeu stadium so not have enough money to get new player, bad way without benzema because left many game and Real Madrid should win every match, exactly next match will faced with Atletico Madrid on derby, if success get three points madrid could get close with Atletico.

Tonight, Copa del Rey semifinal: Barcelona - Sevilla

I have a feeling Sevilla are going to bottle the 2-0 lead from the first leg 🤔 Idk if they were saving some energy in the last match, but if they go to the Camp Nou with that same attitude from last Saturday, Messi and company are gonna have a field day

Can't keep buying nonperforming Hazards really:)

luckily, that won't be a problem cos signing a "superstar" that ends up being a complete flop is actually pretty rare in RM...we've had Kaka, Robinho...but other than these two players + Hazard, most big signings were not underpeforming flops

Barcelona managed to defeat Sevilla 2-0 away only four days ago in the La Liga. Sevilla didn't play good in that match. But I expect them to be more focused when it comes to the Copa Del Rey match. I don't think that Barcelona's job will easy. But they will play better than the first match for sure. 0-2 is not a score that is very hard to make a comeback. So if Barcelona play like the match in the league against them, they can manage to advance to the final.

i think the same too, even if barcelona managed to win 2-0 and fc sevilla didn't play that good in that match especially in the first half, but i still have a feeling that they can qualify to the final, i will follow my gut's feeling and bet on sevilla to qualify, i believe they can score which is going to make really hard for Barcelona to qualify.
