La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[D-law]

My usual favorite team will be Real Madrid. Apart from my sympathy as a club, it is a well-established team that has left its mark on Europe with its successes. I truly admire this club. I wish him to be the champion in 2022. The results of the survey did not mislead me either.

looks like we will see a tight competition between real madrid and Atletico Madrid this season for the title of La Liga, I think so far only Atletico Madrid has a balanced squad in every line, so I think Atletico Madrid is a strong candidate to champions, while Real madrid they may look sharp enough to score but their frail defense is the biggest weakness at the moment, but if ancelloti can fix that soon maybe we will see the two teams continue to compete with narrow points difference until the end of the season.

Yes i also believe that there are problems in the real defense. And while in the championship it is not much visible, all is well, but in the Champions League all may not be so good. I think if Real Madrid can not get out of the group, Perez will immediately fire Ancelotti.

Ancellotti won't be fired anytime soon, he knows the club very well.
I think they're trying to build a strong strong to compete very well for the next 5 to 6 year's.... likely to win the Champions League back to back once more.
The defense errors will be a minor issue soon, it takes time if not longer periods for new set of players to gel in a team.

At home, Atletico Madrid has never lost to Real Sociedas. In the last 5 matches, 4 wins and 1 draw. In addition, Real Sociedas plays very poorly in foreign field, especially against strong teams. So I look forward to Atletico Madrid winning. Although Atletico Madrid has had a lot of players in the national teams, it may be that tiredness will not allow them to play at full strength.

Past form is seldom an indicator of present results unless the streak is more than 10, in my opinion, but yeah a draw seems the worst outcome for a team that is coming up and in the driving seat (well in one of the driving seats!).
I think as long as Suarez keeps his energy, doesn't matter if he scores, he always creates space for others.

the challenge for almost all teams that have a lot of players to buy the national team is their performance when the match schedule is very tight.
Both teams now have to think about putting in their best-performing players. don't be too pushy, in the worst case, hopefully, no player gets injured while defending their national team.
I hope Suarez is doing well. He was very productive upfront.

Both the teams have been playing well so far in the league and Atletico is 2nd and Sociedad is 3rd currently right now. I'm quite surprised at how well Sociedad has started this season. This is a reason I don't like International breaks. Players tend to get injured while playing for the national team and that affects the clubs a lot. Suarez has been an asset to Atletico Madrid and hopes he can win them the match.

Well, I don't think there's a problem with the international break because it's also included in their schedule, injury or not is their risk. For me personally, playing in the national team and each club will certainly still be required to keep playing well with the strategy that is applied. But yes, the fatigue factor can make players vulnerable to injury but of course their team has a recovery standard for the players themselves which will certainly be good for the player's own fitness. Therefore, I personally believe that this match will be dominated by Atletico, no matter their position in the standings because clearly, Atlético have a better squad and that should guarantee Atletico not to lose at home.

So far, anceloti still has a good relationship with the real madrid squad and also madrid management, so it's unlikely that madrid will sack carlo anceloti before his contract expires.
You are wrong if you think that a weak defense is a trivial thing, because a strong defense is a very important factor for a club to stay on the winning path, you can see today if madrid has an imbalance in their game, madrid often scores goals, but also often conceded a lot of goals from opponents and of course it's very dangerous if later they are against a team that has a pretty dangerous attack line.

Real Madrid have the weakest team in recent years. Midfield - old players who cannot play at high speeds. Plus they are injured too often. Young players with little experience in attack. The defense is very weak and even against weak teams they make mistakes. The only strong position is the goalkeeper. So I don't think that Real Madrid will be able to play confidently in the championship or in the Champions League. They will have to choose between tournaments. Moreover, there are a lot of injured players in the team. Perhaps Perez will buy defensive and midfield players next season and the team needs big changes.

I agree with you. One of the weakest spots in the Real Madrid squad is their defense. Maybe it won't be a problem if Madrid's attacking line can play well and can take advantage of the opportunities so they can score more goals than their opponents. But if in conditions Madrid's attacking line can't play optimally and they fail to score goals, then their defense will be the only hope to get at least 1 point.

If Madrid doesn't strengthen their defense and keep playing with their current composition, then Madrid will have a hard time competing in the title race. In the next transfer window, I guess Ancelotti will sign new defenders and defensive midfielders.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have a common weak spot, their defense. The defense of Real Madrid is better than of Barcelona and I think that their defenders are better than Barcelona's. I believe that Ancelotti can help Real Madrid to improve their defense but in Barcelona, it is a bigger challenge for Koeman. With old and not too good young defenders, Koeman does not have many options to build up and improve the defense of Barcelona.

The midfielder of Real Madrid can contribute to protect their defense system like Casemiro. In Barcelona, I don't see a good defensive midfielder.

With weakness of Real and Barca, I think Atletico Madrid can win another La Liga. They have good defense and attacking sytems and can achieve good things with titles in this season.

[Yogee]

All the top teams are trying to overcome their weaker defense by playing better offense. We could easily see that with the stats for goals scored and goals against per team.

Good job to Atletico Madrid for keeping up with Real Madrid despite their low scoring hehe. Think of how much they could improve once they get going and piling up goals. AM will have an easier match on paper against Granada and they could take the top after matchday 9.

[ziyaaa]

There are not many days left for the match between Barcelona and Valencia in Camp Nou. We all know how bad Barcelona players are now. They are trying their best but it is not enough for having a decent form. They have been incredibly inconsistent and this form might continue against Valencia also. Because Valencia are one of the good teams of the season. They performed strongly against Real Madrid and Barcelona should be an easier target I guess. I don't expect Valencia to lose.

[Furious 7]

This week Barcelona will face Valencia of course this is something tough match for Barcelona because some have lost to big teams and after passing Valencia will face Real Madrid next week so Barcelona players will be depressed with the squad situation has not improved.

I want to know how Koeman deals with this problem which sometimes becomes a burden for him if he loses again, so as much as possible he has to be able to defend with the back line and be accompanied by a counter-attack which I think is good in his tactics.

But this has to prove Koeman that he deserves to be kept.

In several interviews after the game ended, Ancelloti also said that currently defense is Madrid's main problem and he has tried to fix it, but the defender crisis has forced Ancelloti to experiment by placing some players who are not in his position to fill the defender position like when the match against espanyol but the result looked bad enough that they suffered a defeat at that time.
Reportedly apart from targeting Mbappe, madrid also has several names of players to strengthen their defense, namely Presnel Kimpembe (PSG), Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea), Reece James (Chelsea and several other players, but I am a little doubtful if Madrid will buy several players at once in transfer market later because of their financial factors are still problematic at this time.

It is difficult to call Benzema a young player without experience. Real Madrid's attack this season is excellent, as it has always been. There is no great speed in the middle lane, but this is compensated by a lot of experience and skill in individual play. The line of defense definitely needs strengthening, but Real often conceded goals, even with Ramos and Varane. I can’t say that Real Madrid are conceding more goals now. Therefore, I think that Real will fight in La Liga and the Champions League to the maximum of its capabilities.

real madrid still have a gap at the back and this is still caused when they lost 2 of their strong defenders because they had changed clubs.
and the entry of defenders like alaba so far has not been able to fill the void of ramos and varane and maybe this is why they are looking for defenders this season because they have heard that they are still eyeing arnold from liverpool.

and for anceloti i think the opportunity is big enough when he is at another club but this is real madrid and when someone is considered a failure he will be dumped by perez and there have been many victims for that.
although the chances of him getting fired are smaller but if they don't qualify and don't even get the title this season then I think anceloti will end up at madrid

It has been only a few games, I would not leave Barcelona out this quickly. They may not be the club they used to be, and they are missing two very important players from last year, but they are still Barcelona and I believe they could do something great. It will take some time for them to get used to each other and the new system, and there is a good chance they will not win it, but they are not completely out in my mind neither. I believe they could still rally back up and win bunch of games back to back and reach the top, it will not be easy but it is also not impossible neither, which is why I believe them doing it, slight chance but it is there.

Nah, I doubt that. I seriously doubt, the Barcelona we have now can possible be regarded as a dangerous team. They lost all the player quality that aided it to attain this hight and all they are left with now is just a name that has stood for so long. Barcelona is not what it's used to be and it isn't getting any better, instead, it gets worst by the minute and as it is, I don't expect them to take anything this season .
Real Madrid on the other hand, they've tried there best and still continues trying to keep up with Atletico Madrid being right there as a serious rival to fire there a×× up.

[borovichok]

How can you be so sure that Madrid can't qualify for the knockout stages in the UCL, even though Madrid are currently in 2nd place with 3 points. Also, in La Liga Madrid is ranked first even though the points are the same, but Madrid has a large number of goals which proves that Madrid are still hungry for goals and become a productive team. For that reason, I think Madrid's situation is still fine and there is nothing to worry about, Madrid is still safe to be a contender in the race for the La Liga title.

In the match against Inter Real was weaker but they were lucky and won. Historically Shakhtar Donetsk is not an easy opponent for Real and this time i think they can not take six points from Shakhtar. If the match against Inter is not won things could turn out badly, of course there is little chance of such an outcome.
Benzema is not iron and he will not be able to show this level of play all season. And who else brings victories Real Madrid in attack Bale, Hazard, Vinicius? They have no stability as well as in defense that's why i doubt it.

The kid vinicius is having a great season,how can you say benzema form will not last through the season after how he prove all doubters wrong last season, Madrid still have a great squad, Assesio is finding form at the right time,and the champions League group is easy for Madrid to go through despite their lose from Sheriff,I don't think sheriff we go through,inter Milan will win them back to back

Therefore, I think that Real will fight in La Liga and the Champions League to the maximum of its capabilities.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid has been very productive so far, Real Madrid managed to score 22 goals in 8 matches. This means that Real Madrid is
very good at scoring goals, the problem is Real Madrid rely too much on Benzema in scoring goals. So Real Madrid do have to buy at least one more
striker, and it is reported that Mbappe will most likely be managed by Madrid. Then regarding the Madrid midfield, they rely a lot on old players,
but this season Madrid managed to bring in Eduardo Camavinga. This is of course a good thing to make Madrid's midfield stronger, hopefully Camavinga
can adapt quickly. Maybe the bad thing is Madrid's defence, conceding 10 goals in 8 games is a worrying thing. Real Madrid must immediately find
a replacement for Ramos and Varane, indeed Madrid have David Alaba this season who is playing quite well. But Madrid still have to bring in 2 more
defenders to strengthen their defense.

[kawetsriyanto]

Real Madrid do have to buy at least one more striker, and it is reported that Mbappe will most likely be managed by Madrid.

Buying 1 top striker is enough, Real Madrid still has some strikers. If they really can sign Mbappe or Haaland, it is enough to strengthen the attacking line. No need to waste money to buy more strikers, except Real Madrid can sell Bale and Eden Hazard in the next transfer window.

But Madrid still have to bring in 2 more defenders to strengthen their defense.

Yep, at least signing 2 top defenders. It is a must if Real Madrid still has a dream to win La Liga and UCL trophy. The current defenders aren't enough to play against big clubs in UCL. Even it is still weak to fight with Atletico Madrid or Barcelona. I am not sure Real Madrid can stay at the top of La Liga table with the current defenders.

[KingsDen]

With weakness of Real and Barca, I think Atletico Madrid can win another La Liga. They have good defense and attacking sytems and can achieve good things with titles in this season.

Any club that doesn't care for its defence, doesn't improve its defence and doesn't play any formation that will favour the defence has not stated. It is the defence that wins the match, trophy or league.
Any club that can conceive from 2 to 3 goals from oponents will not do well, no matter how good the attack of the club is.
That is why Chelsea has don well recent time, because it was very much difficult to get 2goals from them. Anyone  goal an attacker manage to get, will be automatically minused by the defence.

[AndySt]

So far, anceloti still has a good relationship with the real madrid squad and also madrid management, so it's unlikely that madrid will sack carlo anceloti before his contract expires.

It all depends on the dynamics of the situation and I think that if Real Madrid cannot get out of the group, then the chair under Ancelotti will in any case be very shaky despite all his good relations. Everyone has known the difficult character of Perez for a long time and I don't think anyone can count on the inviolability of their positions in the club and the constant favor from the club's management. It is enough to recall the recent scandal with the unflattering scandalous assessments that surfaced against Vicente del Bosque, Ronaldo, Raul, Casillas. However, Ancelotti was just taken into account his ability to find good relations with the team's players, because everything was not so smooth with Zidane, but we must understand that in a team like Real Madrid, results and titles are the main measure of success.
