La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[abhiseshakana]

With the personal pressure from Mbappe (reject to renew his contract with all offers from PSG), the odds that Real Madrid have Mbappe is increasing. Especially when Manchester City can not buy Harry Kane.

If PSG sell Mbappe, they will have two strikers to choose, Kane and Ronaldo. Kane is better because he is younger and will have longer career than Ronaldo. But Ronaldo has a cheaper cost and PSG can use rest money to do other things.

Kane probably won't leave Premier League so the scenario with which Ramos, Ronaldo, Messi reunite all in PSG is very possibly.

If Cristiano Ronaldo finally moves to PSG, it is likely that Kylian Mbappe will be released by PSG and potentially join Real Madrid, and I think this is a win-win solution for PSG, Mbappe, and Real Madrid.

But there could be a surprise if it turns out that Real Madrid brought Ronaldo back to Santiago Bernabeu. Even though Ronaldo is no longer young but he can still contribute a lot to Real Madrid (at least for the next 1-2 years) and of course he will adapt quickly because he has played at Real Madrid for a long time. Other than that, to sign Ronaldo will not be as expensive as Kylian Mbappe, so Real Madrid can save money to buy another player (because Real Madrid really needs a center-back).

Barcelona's next opponent this week is Getafe. After drawing with Athletic Bilbao 1-1, they want to win this game absolutely. And Getafe are actually an easy team to beat for them in Camp Nou. I think that they will make a much bigger effort in this game and win it by at least 2 goals. After Messi's departure, they are trying to be better and they can actually. They just have to work hard.

[hahay]

Real Madrid have another tough away game this week against Betis this time. They were shocked by Levante's determination to capture one point by a score like 3-3. Now they will want to defeat Betis somehow and go on from where they left. And Real Madrid won their last game here 3-2 considering the last head-to-head statistics. Maybe it won't be easy but I believe that they will defeat Betis with one goal difference in this game.

I don't think it's like that because in the previous two matches Betis only got a draw which basically, the two opponents they faced were not big teams. That way, it looks like it will be easy for Madrid to win the game, even I personally still believe Madrid will win with a gap of 2 goals. Regarding Levante, I don't think it's surprising anymore because Levante can often match the big teams in LaLiga, so for me the result is not that surprising and it's good luck that Madrid still got points in that match.

Barcelona still have talented players who can actually make them win the league title this season, but as you stated, they just have to work really hard. They lost many opportunities in scoring in their last match, although, Athletic Bilbao is not a weak team. But their next match is  surely a winning for them, I don't think Gefate is strong enough to win Barcelona. Barcelona will probably score 2 to 4 goals in this match.

Buying Ronaldo would be a mistake for Madrid and Psg. Ronaldo's best years are in the past. And his age is big. It is more profitable to buy Mbappe. But Psg wants too much money for a player who has one year left before the end of the contract.

Barcelona won one point, they didn't lose two points. Athletic Bilbao away games are always hard, one point is good, they can compensate this in next fixture. Memphis Depay's goal was classy. Braithwaite was ineffective until he subbed off. I wouldn't say it's a bad start for Barcelona. Other games also finished as draw today. Only Mallorca got three points in earlier game. 4 games out of 5 finished draw this week, it's interesting. I'm sure we will see more wins tomorrow.

On the contrary, how could it be interesting? The matches are incredibly boring, unproductive (a draw could probably be considered an unproductive match). No smash-ups in the first round, no many goals, as it used to be in the past seasons... La Liga is boring so far

Real Madrid are having an away match against Betis this weekend. They got a really shocking result against Levante like 3-3. They will want to atone for this result in this match. But Betis are one of the toughest opponents for them. They beat Betis only one time in their last three games. Betis will fight for their first win of this season. I expect both teams to score.

[OcTradism]

Better to buy young player with the same price for Cristiano Ronaldo because he has old age and still active and good performance only one or two years later, exactly he has less value right now and not good for future business if Real  Madrid really pay high for get back Cristiano Ronaldo, although Madrid not get deal with PSG for getting Mbappe better that fund use to buy young player than Cristiano Ronaldo.

I don't think Perez will bring Ronaldo back to Real Madrid because Real Madrid now need a new and young player to build up the Galaticos 3.0. Ronaldo is not a player for that plan and Perez will not bring Ronaldo back just to use him for 2 or 3 years.

Mbappe is very close to Real Madrid and if Real Madrid succeed with this transfer. He can be the first brick for Galaticos 3.0 and news say Perez want to bring Haaland to Bernabeu next year. With Haaland, Ronaldo is unnecessary so it is best if he won't return to Bernabeu.

Maybe you are a Barca fan. A draw makes you disappointed. I think this is the result of the departure of some of the main players of barca. But for La Liga this will be fun, there will be an increasingly interesting competition, meaning that there will be no more dominance in La Liga. Competitions and matches will be more unpredictable and this is very different when Ronaldo and Messi are still in La Liga.

Besides this is the start of the season, they still have strong motives, the best stamina. Maybe in the next few weeks it will be more visible which team will appear stable. Because playing stable on a winning path is the key to winning the League. IMO

Real Madrid's forward is very strong if Bale and Hazard are not injured. They don't need Mbappe at the moment. But with Varane and Ramos leaving, their defense has become very weak. This gap they will not be able to fill this season. Maybe they have to play defensively, otherwise the strikers have to score a lot of goals.

In my opinion, however, Real Madrid still needs another pure striker to replace Karim Benzema if he is injured or banned from playing, if Real Madrid wants to compete this season, of course, Hazard and Bale are not enough, you can see how Bale game has been inconsistent for two seasons then, so he was loaned last season to tottenham.
I agree with you,  that right now Real Madrid need to fix their fragile defense and made a lot of mistakes that led to goals in the match against levante yesterday, it looks like Ramos and Varane left a big hole in the Madrid defence today.

Levante's players have attacked far fewer than Real Madrid. If we look at statistics, we can easily understand. Real Madrid has made a total of 20 shots. But Levante has done only 8. They managed to score 3 goals out of 8 shots. Real Madrid should take appropriate steps now to stabilize the defense.

The attack done by levante is more effective than the one done by madrid, and as you said if levante is able to score 3 goals from only 8 attempts and obviously this is more effective than madrid which made 20 attempts, if we look at the match with clear, we can see if the defense madrid is the main source of their problems, I think ancelloti should immediately look for another defender in the rest of the current transfer market, if they don't want Madrid to be a team that is easy to concede goals by other teams in la Liga this season.

Atletico Madrid are preparing for their next match which is going to be against Villarreal this Sunday. Atletico Madrid are overwhelming them here of course. And they started with two victories to the season. As Luis Suarez also started playing, they should be able to defeat their opponent in this match. But it might not be an easy victory as Villarreal are a strong team on defense.

This will be a very tough encounter,looking at Villareal's team and Athletico's team.The both teams are strong team that won't want to loose to each other.Athletico are in form right now and will be hoping to go home with a win,but i will predit both teams to score,,and a draw,because I don't see Villareal allowing them to win that match.

Luiz Suarez will be looking forward to scoring in that encounter to boost his goal,and hopefully for him this season he will be among the top scorers,because he one of the best finishers in Europe.Hopefully the goals will come for him.

Real Madrid also desperately needs a center-back and I think Real Madrid should buy a center-back first and then buy a striker. Conceding 3 goals against Levante is proof why Real Madrid really needs a superb center-back.

Looking at the last game I agree with you, they were wrong to sell Varane. This makes their defense weak. Alaba is a good player but his position is left back, I think the purchase of Alaba does not match what they have sold and that leaves a weakness at the moment. Maybe I'd be happier if Madrid bought a centre-back instead of Mbappe. There are many rumors and news that Madrid have made an offer to Mbappe, Maybe this is the answer to Madrid's inactivity in the transfer market last year and this time.

but if you look at the game statistics at the beginning of this season, it seems that ATM will be slightly superior considering that Vilaeral's performance in the previous match still hasn't shown good performance, besides that from head to head it will also benefit ATM a bit because of 38 matches with Vilareal ATM, they managed to record a win. 15 while Villareal have only 13 and 10 draws.
even though the head to head is thin, the possibility of ATM will still win the match this time

[icopress]

Atletico Madrid [...]

Speaking of Atlético, I would like to ask ..has anyone dealt with the Atletico Fan Token? I see that this token is traded on Binance and has a capitalization of 170 million, but it's not entirely clear to me what relation it has to the financial component of the club.

What obligations does Atletico Madrid undertake to token hodlers, etc., I am interested in any details. I saw in the news that PSG partially settled with Messi with their tokens, so I'm interested in the potential of ATM Token, because the current declared capitalization is 4 times less than the real one.

If Cristiano Ronaldo finally moves to PSG, it is likely that Kylian Mbappe will be released by PSG and potentially join Real Madrid, and I think this is a win-win solution for PSG, Mbappe, and Real Madrid.

But there could be a surprise if it turns out that Real Madrid brought Ronaldo back to Santiago Bernabeu. Even though Ronaldo is no longer young but he can still contribute a lot to Real Madrid (at least for the next 1-2 years) and of course he will adapt quickly because he has played at Real Madrid for a long time. Other than that, to sign Ronaldo will not be as expensive as Kylian Mbappe, so Real Madrid can save money to buy another player (because Real Madrid really needs a center-back).

How is this a win for PSG? They are not getting to keep one of the best players at that age, dude is a player that can provide you with top notch quality for 10+ seasons and you are losing him and getting Ronaldo that will play maybe 3-4 more seasons which I doubt will even happen, but if he does than there is nothing impossible for Mbappe to provide nearly 16-17 seasons as well, so you are literally losing time here.

Ronaldo could be seen equal to Mbappe right now by some people but I also do not believe that, Mbappe is a better player if you ask me and that is currently of course, Ronaldos peak was unseen, only messi was there. So a trio of Ronaldo,Neymar,Messi at the top and other players backing them up such as Ramos, Donnaruma, Wijnaldum just the new names and many other, I would say they would be great, but Mbappe is still better choice. They are forced to do that, not their preference.

Villarreal is a hard opponent and could make surprises even vs bigger teams. Until now they have 2 goalless draws without forgetting their tight match vs Chelsea in Super Cup 2 weeks earlier. ATM has to score more than 1 goal difference if they would to compete for the title this season too!

[DIA7]

I do not really understand is that Saul will leave Atletico Madrid, most likely, it does not matter to where he will end up, but I am really surprised that a player like this was neglected so easily.
With a huge number of roles on the field. Offensively, Saul over many years was a very large part of the process of rapid transformations that Simeone carried out from defense to attack, in addition to his great importance in building play and the rise of the team in the ball. As for defensively, Saul’s role is literally the most important role in the system The defensive Simeone, especially in the midfield, of course, and in the previous 6 seasons in La Liga, not a single midfielder in the team made more correct interventions than him, the same thing applies to intercepting balls (interceptions) and also the blocks.
Frankly, a great gain for Chelsea Tuchel if the circulated words are true and the deal will actually take place, And it will add more and less to the Tuchel's system, which has become strong in both directions.

I agree with you. Atletico Madrid must show their passion for the title by getting strong wins in matches like this. Yeah, maybe Villarreal are not an easy competitor. But it doesn't mean that they can resist Atletico Madrid till the final whistle. I trust Atletico Madrid to break Villarreal's defense and open the score gap. They should be able to win this by 2 goals at least.

here let me make you understand a little bit about saul situation ...

- his salary is around $7m and atletico looking to free up some space on their wage bill.
- saul losing the starting line up since last few atletico madrid games.

a loan move with an option to buy makes tuchel interested despite saul release clause is set in $150m , chelsea could push it to as low as $40m if they do a loan this season to cover all of his wage during one season.
im nit really expecting this but still he is great additional power to chelsea.
