La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[logfiles]

And match ended 1:1. On 94th minute, Sevilla goalkeeper Bounou scored a goal and let Sevilla to take 1 point from this game. Goalkeeper scoring goal - it's something what doesn't happens every day.

It was epic drama towards the end of the match. Honestly I had never seen a goalkeeper score a goal from open play until today

Yep, Real won the match convincingly and show the people if they are still competing seriously for the La Liga title. 
Agree, Real Madrid performance is getting better and Zidane looks smarter to choose the starting players on each match. But I am a bit worried to see Benzema and Modric play full time. I think it is better to replace them with substitution players on the second half time if they are already leading with 1 score or 2 scores. It will be a problem if Benzema or Modric get injured, especially for Benzema, Real has no other good strikers (CF).

A Real Madrid forward line without Benzema is a forward line that hardly scores. I guess that's why Zidane always plays him. Remember when he was injured recently? Guess who was scoring? Casemiro, varane...

Benzema is the best forward for Real Madrid right now because he make many score every match and last night Benzema scoring two goal on Celta Vigo, Maybe Benzema have chance to be top scorer in La Liga this season because every match always make goal. But waiting with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid failed to get three points tonight.

Barcelona will take down Real Sociedad and get second spot again today. Atletico Madrid will also win, they have to win. You can't lose points against the bottom team Deportivo Alaves at this point of season. Sorry Real fans, you need to wait a little more for these teams to mess up something.

Though Real Sociedad is not an easy opponent but Barcelona tries their best to achieve 3 points in this match. Real Sociedad's performance against Barcelona is not very pleasant. Sociedad has not won any of their last five matches against Barcelona. I expect goals from both Messi and Griezmann in today's match.

Yes, Atletico have to win, and I think they will. At this stage of the season, we also need to consider goal difference. Real are 3 points behind Atletico, and have played a game more... but even if Real can close the 3 point gap, Atletico will likely remain ahead on goal difference... this could prove crucial as the title race moves into its closing stages. Barca, by contrast, have a superior goal difference to Atletico.

Real was in a very big crisis and had a lot of problems both in the group stage of the Champions League and in the Spanish championship.
It seems that this crisis has passed and that they are now ready to win the Champions League and the Spanish Championship.
Real had only one defeat in the last 18 games in the domestic competition, which is a great statistic.
Unlike Barcelona and Atletico, they are the only other Spanish club that still has a chance in the Champions League.
Will Zidane, who was already written off at one point, still save his job?

Celta Vigo 1 - 3 Real Madrid

A deserved win for Madrid here; who moved up to second position and 3 points off leaders Atletico Madrid; The Real Madrid side look rejuvenated lately in their performances; with goals from Benzema and another from subtitute Ascensio seals the win

Karin Benzema became very important in real madrid, in that game he scored 2 goals and was indirectly responsible for the third goal. it was definitely a good performance by real madrid in that game.


today there are two very important games:

Atletico - Alaves

I'm honestly thinking: is there any chance, however small, that the atletico will lose in this game against alaves? the odds definitely show that there is no chance of the atletico losing, but if the atletico lose, real madrid and barcelona (if barcelona win in today match ) could start putting a lot of pressure on the atletico

Real Sociedad - Barcelona

I bet that barcelona will win that game.

Real was in a very big crisis and had a lot of problems both in the group stage of the Champions League and in the Spanish championship.
It seems that this crisis has passed and that they are now ready to win the Champions League and the Spanish Championship.

The crisis is from injuries in their players and they have yet solved problems with medical system. I hope they will fix it because if they won't fix it or fail to do it, they will get troubles in this season and in the future. Their players are getting older and more vulnerable to injuries.

Real had only one defeat in the last 18 games in the domestic competition, which is a great statistic.

It is indeed a very impressive management from Zidane and their players have tried so much to get such results. They also went through worst time with series of injuries and still keep up chances to fight and win trophies.

Unlike Barcelona and Atletico, they are the only other Spanish club that still has a chance in the Champions League.

They will face Liverpool and with troubles from Liverpool, Real Madrid can win and go next in Champions League. Nevertheless, I think Real Madrid and Liverpool have 50 - 50 chance to win.

Will Zidane, who was already written off at one point, still save his job?

Real Madrid should save the position for Zidane.

So Real kept the pressure on with Benzema really showing they can count on him. That guy is really enjoying his time now isn't he? Now we will see if Suarez and Messi can both keep up their personal goalscoring race and at the same time take their teams to the top. I really hope Atletico win though, I don't want this race to be over SO soon:)

Atletico Madrid will also win, they have to win. You can't lose points against the bottom team Deportivo Alaves at this point of season. Sorry Real fans, you need to wait a little more for these teams to mess up something.

Indeed at this point Atletico can't afford to lose they badly need to gain more points to keep the difference from lower position teams so that in today match will take advantage of weak opponent and will get succeed to gain 3 points. I also want to see it happening now.

Check out Barcelona's history of away games against Real Sociedad. As the statistics show, it is very difficult for Barcelona to win, so Barcelona may have a difficult match today. Atletico Madrid will play with a lot of anger today as they were eliminated from the Champions League, I guess they should win the match.

Given that Real Sociedad are playing at home. I am still having mixed feelings about who might win the match. You do remember the 10-year-old curse of Anoeta, don't you?

but even if Real can close the 3 point gap, Atletico will likely remain ahead on goal difference... this could prove crucial as the title race moves into its closing stages. Barca, by contrast, have a superior goal difference to Atletico.

In La Liga, goal difference does not count first. They first look at Head to Head and Real Madrid has a far much better head-to-head record than Atlético Madrid.

Yes benzema is performing well this season he done his job well and he was decissive in many games same as messi and suares but i think that real madrid has less chance than atletico and barcelona since their performance is unstable plus they played a game more .

The statistics is one thing, the trend is another. Barca has a strong uptrend in the league. With a win against San Sebastian, Barca can close to within two points of Atletico and overtake Real if Atletico loses to Alaves, otherwise it's 5 points, which is catchable with 10 games left. Barca has been eliminated from the Champions Leauge and can now fully concentrate on the league. I expect Barca to win today.

These three players are always prioritized by their respective teams, Atletico, Madrid and Barcelona continue to fight with the points they want to get and of course with these attackers, they have scored many goals and of course this will be the race who will be the most and also bring the team. its a champion.

Messi still has the opportunity to continue to score goals and tonight against Sociedad it will be difficult if they remain consistent with this victory will be an important point for Barca to keep adding points and overtaking Real Madrid.

Well actually this is the right time for Barcelona to take over the 2nd place 3 points will take them up or even a draw will suffice because Barcelona scored more goals
But I don't think it's easy because Sociedad is on fire and is a strong team when playing at home so far only lost 2 times at home.

If I look at the other previous matches between Valladolid - Sevilla with the final score in a draw, then of course that is a trigger for Sociedad to get 3 points although still, it will not change its position in the standings but at least it will be safer from Betis chasing. But yes, with a position like this I'm more confident Barcelona will win because both teams will play under pressure I think so Barcelona is certainly better in this kind of situation.

3 points does not change Sociedad's position but it is important to secure a position in the European league zone,  as you said Real Betis currently have the same points as Sociedad So it's really not safe to end the game without points. Barcelona and Sociedad will both struggle and my bet goes with Both teams to score 

[tygeade]

Not that I am expecting anything like this, but the reality is that we are dealing with with a chance to get the teams within 1 points today.

ATM could lose and stay at 63 points while Barcelona could win and reach 62 points, if that happens it would mean that we will definitely see ATM losing championship for sure, they have come thus far amazingly but it doesn't mean that they will continue to do so as well and there is just 2 game difference between the two team, there are many games left and 2 game difference could definitely be closed if they are not careful enough, this is why I think it is crucially important for ATM to try to win every single game they can, if they let go even one of them, they will not be able to recover and get back at the top, they do not have that power, so they have to focus on keeping that top rank because there is no other way, there is no returning back to top from now on for them if they ever lose it.

[ingiltere]

Atletico Madrid passed hard Deportivo Alaves game with one goal, thanks to Suarez again. Joselu missed a penalty in late minutes for Deportivo.
Suarez scored 19 goals in La Liga now, better than his last season in Barca. Barcelona's big loss became Atletico's savior. I wonder what would happen if Suarez didn't go to Atletico, guess we never know!
