La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[ufaiz50]

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!

They really needed this win. If they would have drawn, Barcelona and Madrid would have gotten very close. They are still ahead, but their lead was 13 points a while ago. Would be a miracle if Barcelona would catch them.
Heads up match will decide the championship

Can Barcelona win today ? This weekend both Real and Atl.Madrid won and this makes me thinks Barcelona will win this game against Sociedad even if so far the biggest chance of scoring goes to them.

Atl.Madrid showed class today after they got eliminated from UCL , they show up today with a great team morale that knows the biggest chance of the season is still in play and that is to win LaLiga.

Can Barcelona win today ?

Well, let's consider this match as an easy training one.. Didn't followed the whole game but whenever I take a look on it, I find Barca scoring! Dembele cancelled goal by VAR was a joke, the guy wasn't offside and I think referees were influenced by the number of Barca's goals or something. 1-6 was the real joke.

Barcelona literally destroyed Real Sociedad. They played like Sociedad wasn't a Top 5 team but an ordinary segunda liga team. Honestly I was expecting Barcelona win but wasn't expecting this difference. They started second half great and scored back to back. Dest and Messi was great on finishing. Griezmann and Dembele also scored so every player in the final third scored today. I wish we see this consistently from Dembele and Griezmann.

Wow, what a win! 6:1 on away game against really decent team. And I wouldn't even say that was our best game this season. Many times Barca this season dropped points when they wasted good opportunities to score. While today our finishing was perfect - we converted almost every moment into goal.
Great way to go into international break. 4 points to Atletico with 10 rounds remaining.

Only a great team is capable of achieving an away victory of this magnitude. Barcelona are back on track: Real Madrid and the Colchoneros have been warned. Messi and co. want to play until the end and win the title, it is clear by now.

Barcelona sometimes are not consistent in their winning, I wouldn't be surprised if barca looses their next match against Real  Valladolid at away group, nevertheless, Barcelona just picked up this night after winning on huge maybe should be the

Barcelona is now nr 2 in LaLiga and they have the highest form right now and they look unstoppable after this win 6-1 against a team who let's not forget was on NR1 for 2 months I think.

I'm glad for Griezmann that he scored this game as this dude really works hard to please Messi and I think Messi realized this and now they are passing a lot more between each other and if this great form continues after the international break and no injuries will be reported, I think barcelona will win LaLiga , something that most of us didn't even believe after what start they had.

A Real Madrid forward line without Benzema is a forward line that hardly scores. I guess that's why Zidane always plays him.

Unfortunately, it is true.  
However, by playing Benzema in all the matches and with full time, it increases the chance for him to get injured. Zidane has no choices, Benzema must play at all the remaining matches to score, but it will be wiser if he doesn't play full-time (90+ minutes). Why not let another striker play as the starter? Then Benzema can substitute him if it seems hard to score in that match.

I also see that Real Madrid is very dependent on Benzema, even though he is no longer young and playing full time too often puts Benzema
at risk of injury. I understand there are not many pure attackers at Real Madrid, therefore Zidane relies too much on Benzema up front
to score goals. I think Real Madrid must have to get a new striker next season, to be able to replace Benzema. Of course don't buy young
players, but buying star players who have quality that is not different from Benzema, So it makes it easier for Zidane to rotate players,
especially on the front line.

I agree with you that Barcelona is back on track and their focus is really on La Liga the difference of 4 points is not a problem for Barcelona with games remaining I'm sure they can surpass it. The only challenge for Barcelona is against Madrid next month of course playing away this is one of the determinants of their steps towards the title.

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... 

this is a big problem, real madrid needs to get more players who can be at benzema level or real madrid will be in a very bad situation, in my opinion real madrid should make an effort to have players like mbappe or haaland ( I heard that Haaland wants to go to Real Madrid), but the reality is showing that the chances of Real Madrid having players like these next season will be very difficult and I predict that next season we will not win anything either


Real Sociedad 1 - 6 Barcelona

Barcelona won convincingly and most of the news channels I follow only talk about messi 

[slaman29]

What a game and Messi almost got his hattrick, but I should have went with my gut feeling and put in a bet of -2.5 handicap for my team. Had to watch the highlights several times to enjoy and savor this moment;)

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:)

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 .

It's still many more games left but yeah based on last night's performance, it's so hard to see how the table could give way to Real. You need both Atletico and Barca to fall, although they will hope to win every game until the May meeting when both Barca and Atleti play.

Real Sociedad 1 - 6 Barcelona

I must admit that it was a very astounding result. When we take into account that Real Sociedad were very good in their home matches until this match, I was expecting this could be a very tough one for Barcelona. But Barcelona played unbelievably great and completely erased them. Messi had another great game also that he had 2 goals and 1 assist. Dest also scored 2 goals and it was his day too.

[3meek]

Finally, Barcelona showed their good game! After being dropped from the Champions League, they are concentrating on the home championship...
Now they need to score more points to get to the first line (which I doubt...  )

Barcelona's performance in yesterday's game was a standout one. That's one of their best performances in recent times but I noticed the defense is still not at its best. Jordi Alba and Messi were phenomenal in yesterday's game. Currently Barcelona sits 4 points away from title leader, Atlético Madrid. That means they still have a good chance at winning the Spanish title this season even though Madrid keeps knocking. There's still about 10 matches to go, if Barcelona can keep up performances like this for the reminder of the season, they might end up winning it.

Chances are big now for Barcelona.They are only four points away from the leaders and there are another 10 games to be played until the end of La Liga.Atletico lately has not been making a difference like they did in the beginning of the season so La Liga is wide open this season.

[Xxmodded]

Left ten match for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to proof who are the winner in this season, both for Atletico and Barcelona more prefer without any time playing on champion league after failed on last stage, but Real Madrid keep going with good performance and only have one match with bigger team left this Barcelona, maybe if Madrid get three points when faced with Barcelona have bigger chance for get back La Liga tittle in this season.

[Altryist]

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.

Barcelona are great, but I did not expect such a defeat from Real Sociedad, and I think very few people expected it. Yes, I agree now that Barcelona, like Atletico Madrid, will be able to concentrate only on La Liga, since they both left the Champions League. This season the fight for the championship will be very interesting, as all three teams, Real, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have good chances and nothing has been decided yet.

Chances are big now for Barcelona.They are only four points away from the leaders and there are another 10 games to be played until the end of La Liga.Atletico lately has not been making a difference like they did in the beginning of the season so La Liga is wide open this season.

Atletico Madrid almost dropped 3 point against Alaves. If Alaves' player manage to score a penalty, then Barcelona are only 2 point adrift of Atletico after Barcelona's big win. But fortunately they managed to save the penalty and still maintain a 4 point difference with Barcelona. Now that LaLiga has only 10 game left, anything is very likely. We have at least 2 decisive match the result will largely determine who will win the Laliga at the end of the season.
