La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[skarais]

Huesca is most easy for Barcelona last night and make La Liga competitive for third team, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona still have big chance to get trophy, exactly for Barcelona they only have chance on La Liga after failed on champion league,

There are 11 match left for Laliga this season and Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid still have a long way to go to win the title. Now the point are really close and it's getting more competitive, I like this. I can't be sure who will win the title, because everything is still very possible. It's just that I hope Barcelona will.

You really predicted the score? It is really nice then, mate. But I assume you didn't place a bet on it.

You win. I didn't bet anything on that game and maybe I won't. I am quite comfortable without gambling at the moment. It give me control over the money I have.

I don't know what the odd was for it but I think you could have made a really good profit. 

In my opinion, the odds given to Barcelona are relatively small, this is because Barcelona are the favorite team. So without the big stake of bet, I don't think I can win that much. It's too risky to bet large amount just to make a small profit when the odds are relatively low.

Barca have a better goal difference, so it's more like 3.5 points... if Atletico draw their next two games and Barca win their next two, then Barca are top of the league.
But I do still think Atletico will win it. Everything is still in their hands. They have some tough fixtures in the run-in to the end of the season, but they are top of the table for a reason, and they're good enough to see it out and finish top. All Barca and Real Madrid can do is keep winning, and hope Atletico drop points.

It is not about "next" games, we could have just 2 more draws for the remainder of the season versus Barcelona wins and it could still be Barcelona at the top, or we could have one loss and one tie and it would still be Barcelona easily without point difference needed.

There are still many games left, not as much as we used to but there are still 10+ games left, that means that ATM has to be careful for the whole games, Barcelona is the type of team that may end up winning every single game left and those type of situations are very risky for ATM because we all know they will lose at least one more game until at the end of the season. It is going to be tough but I really hope for an ATM win as well, if they can become champions that is better for the league, at least we could see Barca and Real finally realizing they need to get better.

Great to see Leo Messi having fun again. Huesca couldn't do anything yesterday to even try to avoid this defeat when facing this kind of Barcelona! Good to see also that now Atlético Madrid has got a real contestant until the end of the Liga. Without playing in Champions League, Barcelona doesn't have much else to do too  

Barca is focusing only in La Liga from a while after being eliminated from every other competition. By tomorrow, I think 2 other Spanish teams will join it

Barca is focusing only in La Liga from a while after being eliminated from every other competition.

The only option for Barcelona now is the La Liga. They haven't any alterntive. They will now strive hard for the La Liga title. At the start of the season, Barcelona was a completely shattered and unstable team. But at the moment they are stable enough. They have the ability to win the La Liga title. I think Koeman is managing the team properly.

[kawetsriyanto]

Barcelona on their side have weak defense and they have never really improved it, even Koeman came and tried to fix it.

Yep, agree with you. Barcelona has the weakest defense among the top 3 best teams in La Liga nowadays. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have better defense lines for sure, if their attackers can play well, they can defeat Barcelona. Koeman must be already aware of this but he cannot do anything, I guess it is caused by the low spirit and trust of players in him.

Two Madrids can win against Barcelona and put the end for Barcelona hope to win La Liga.

It is the same with me. Let Real Madrid wins the match against Barcelona first. Then, Atletico can end the hope at their home. Sure, it is possible if both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid can make Barcelona lose 6 points.

Only one loss in 2 matches can end the hope for Barcelona.

Koeman must be already aware of this but he cannot do anything, I guess it is caused by the low spirit and trust of players in him.

It is not only about the trust of players on Koeman but also about the quality of defensive players in Barcelona. The tactics and system won't be improved much with bad players. Their players show that they play very careless even opponents are top clubs and dangerous. Koeman can not do so much things with them.

It is the same with me. Let Real Madrid wins the match against Barcelona first. Then, Atletico can end the hope at their home. Sure, it is possible if both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid can make Barcelona lose 6 points.

Laporta will fail in next season if he won't bring more defenders to Camp Nou. Pique, Lenglet need to be released and their positions must be replaced by younger and more ambitious players.

The only option for Barcelona now is the La Liga. They haven't any alterntive. They will now strive hard for the La Liga title. At the start of the season, Barcelona was a completely shattered and unstable team. But at the moment they are stable enough. They have the ability to win the La Liga title. I think Koeman is managing the team properly.

They have chance but two matches with two Madrids will decide the competition. Messi is coming back with his best performances but Barcelona can not rely on him to beat top clubs.

Of course, both Madrid will want to win the title. Atletico Madrid is in a good position. But they have lost a lot of points in the last 5 matches. They are falling behind in the title fight. However, they are still 4 points ahead of Barcelona. Real Madrid is just two points behind Barcelona. Real Madrid will try to come second in the table as soon as Barcelona shares the points in any match. All in all, these three teams will be fighting hard for the title this season.

Barcelona have only one advantage that they can concentrate all resources for La Liga but two Madrids will have to decentralize their resources for La Liga and Champions League. Big or small advantage, I don't know now but it can be bigger if two Madrids can move more in Champions League. Anyway, two clashes will be key for Barcelona. Lost them, lose the La Liga.

The impressive return of Barcelona is supported by Messi and it raises another problem, will Messi keep up his performance till La Liga ending? After bad start, now Messi stays at first position in scorer table, above Suarez.

Indeed, the sudden fall of Atletico makes the La Liga becomes more interesting at the end. It is good for neutral football audiences. I am not a fan of any in three clubs: 2 Madrids and Barcelona.

I always feel like the focus of resources is a small advantage for teams with big squads like Madrid and Barca anyway. You also want to get good rhythm and playing often is the way to do this. You ask any team and they will say they play better with more games, not less. Of course, not to tire everyone out which is why a big squad is useful for this!

Of course they do! Paying the bills   I can picture a very large stack of t-shirt laying somewhere in a closed shop waiting for a vaccine and win that will never happen. But that's all right because...

Very funny 
Anyway, Barcelona has some great chances to disrupt Atlético Madrid's plans for La Liga. Barcelona is playing very well now and the players look all perfectly tuned with the new course. My question is that if Atlético will be able to forget about the pressure that's coming from behind or if that will be something psychologically challenging.
Either way, good for us who watch the league since it's all very exciting.

As the matches played are already equal now, there is only a 4-point gap and it is not too hard for Barcelona to make it. Atletico made many simple point losses on the last weeks and as long as they continue like it, it will cost them the championship for sure. Barcelona have a much better form and performance now than Atletico and Real Madrid both. I really started believing that Barcelona will catch up with Atletico and take the lead soon. And it is for sure that we will see a huge competition until the end of the league.

It is not going to be easy even with the gap being closed right now. Barcelona is not going to be just hoping for wins for the rest of the season but we are talking about also ATM losing points as well, expecting the other team to lose is a bigger problem than trying to win your games, Barcelona has enough talent to win all the games left, they may end up not winning all as well which will probably be the case, they will probably either have a tie or even a loss somewhere in there, so they are waiting for ATM to do even worse.

What could happen however is that ATM could lose 4 more points than Barcelona, that looks possible, they have come thus far greatly but recently they haven't been that great, they won only 2 games out of last 5, have 2 ties and 1 loss as well, if they keep this up they are going to be out of top spot in a month.

It is hard for me to say it but Koeman did quite well for a used to be an agonising team.. I wish them the best (except the title this year, cuz ATM deserves it).

[acquafredda]

Elche is unlikely to take any points from Sevilla, that are back on track after their derby victory. The Andalusian club are favourites for this game and could win without conceding a goal. Watching it live but a bit boring so far; need a clean sheet from Sevilla.

[ShowOff]

The only option for Barcelona now is the La Liga. They haven't any alterntive.

You must have forgotten that Barcelona still have a chance to win the trophy in the Copa Del Rey against Bilbao in the final at 17/4. I am sure they will secure the trophy.

Just because Atletico Madrid currently have 4 point more than Barcelona, ​​I don't think that will make Barcelona have to give up from the race. If Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid are able to win matches throughout April, then Barcelona still has the opportunity to cut point to 1 when they meet at Camp Nou on May 9. But I am sure that not all matches can be won by the three team at this time until early May. The standings will change I think.

Yeah, we shouldn't forget the Copa Del Rey final also. But the most important thing is winning the La Liga for them now surely. And while they are having such a nice form and performance, it is not very hard for them to make it to the championship also. I believe that they will maintain their position and become champions if they manage to take the lead from Atletico.

[ife2020]

Sevilla 2:0 Elche

A deserved win in a match where Elche was not expected to take any points at all. The win means that Sevilla has cemented their place in the top 4 after going 9 points clear of Real Sociedad who is in the 5th position. Can Sevilla make the cut and go to the champions league ?

[kawetsriyanto]

Only one loss in 2 matches can end the hope for Barcelona.

Yep, if Barcelona is defeated in 2 matches, possibly against two Madrid clubs, it will lead Barcelona for no hope of La Liga title this season. So, it is important for Barcelona to have a draw result of winning the two matches against the two Madrids. However, I doubt if Barcelona can win against two Madrids because it seems they ready and will play all out for the maximum points.

Win the Copa del Rey is more realistic target for Barcelona. They have to win the final and the opponent is Bilbao.

It is hard for me to say it but Koeman did quite well for a used to be an agonising team.. I wish them the best (except the title this year, cuz ATM deserves it).

Koeman has done the best he can do with the current quality of Barcelona players. I think Barcelona and Laporta should give him one or two more seasons to build up the team and after 2 seasons, they can re-assess the work of Koeman.

Ok. Now only one Madrid is going next in Champions League. Atletico Madrid was out after the defeat 0 -2  at Stamford Bridge. The game in La Liga will become harder for Barcelona because A Madrid will all focus in La Liga. The main opponent of Barcelona is Atletico, not Real.

Barcelona need to win and they will show more open space on the field for Atletico to do their counter attacks. As proven in many seasons, Barcelona defense system is always weak when they have to play against top clubs and counter attack tactics. Atletico is the expert team in practice of counter attack.

After yesterday watching the Chelsea - Atletico Madrid match, I would not say that Atletico is such a strong rival for Barcelona. I think in a face-to-face meeting Barcelona can safely win. Atletico Madrid is now on the decline and how long it will last is unknown. Barcelona has a chance to win in the cup. and in La Liga, which is quite a good result for this season.
