La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[rahmad2nd]

For now the head to head results for me still can't be used as a benchmark but indeed, Barcelona under Xavi looks better so far. But even so, I personally am still not 100% sure that Barcelona will win, although I also hope that Barcelona will return to their best form and get back 3 points per game, but for me for now I am still not sure that Barcelona will win easily against Betis tomorrow. It also seems that Barcelona must focus more on the UCL first now, because in the next match Barcelona are required to win the last match of the group stage against Bayern Munich.

Agree, regarding performance, it is not completely clear that 100% will take all the top of the standings in La Liga or even in the UCL. Because there is still a lot of work that Xavi is working on at Barcelona. Considering that the match this time was quite tough to beat Betis, it needed a much more optimal performance than against Espanyol. Still need a more aggressive injection in the field.

Yes, basically with the difference in points now it is enough for Barcelona to be more aggressive in the match against Betis, because after all the three points will make the difference in points even closer. Also, if we consider the results of Betis when playing against big teams and when playing away, on paper Betis will not be able to withstand the play of top teams, so it is very possible for Barcelona to be able to win this match. But for me personally, for now it would be better for me to avoid betting a win for Barcelona, because I think the divided focus might make them accept obstacles.

Barcelona have important match against with Bayern Munich on last match champion league group stage, without see what happen match between Benfica versus Dynamo Kyiv I think Barcelona need three points. But on La Liga they still left many points from Real Madrid as first standing position and will take three points against Real Betis today. But I think they will play as second composition player and Xavi more focus and take rest their player can fight maximum against with Bayern Munich than Real Betis.

I think they will be betting on the next few games, especially the one against Bayern.
victory is a fixed price for barcelona because i feel that benfica will win with kiyv.
on the other hand they are also faced with their points standings which are still not good in La Liga.

Gambling this time is quite risky for Barcelona, but indeed this is something that needs to be done.

[bering]

For this weekend match i will go to Real Madrid against Real Sociedad i saw the odds for Madrid was @2.2 i think this is good opportunity to placing bets for them because the odds was quite high and moreover Madrid is onfire with 7 consecutive win in all competitions so my predictions Real Madrid will get full points from this game

@Alanaz I personally feel that Xavi should prioritise La Liga over champions league, because Bayern is a tough team to beat and securing these 3 points will help them finish in top 4. Also it’s a difficult call for him, but if he can guide Barcelona to win both matches then it’ll definitely boost the morale of the player’s and Barcelona fans.

Along with the pace of Real Madrid's development, of course this can give a lot of attention where they continue to make improvements from all sectors of the rear defense. By competing against Real Sociedad, RM can put forward more attacks and not defend quickly if they are already ahead. This can be used as a strategy to keep RM away from any club trying to catch up due to the end of the hot season.

Therefore, this will certainly be a consideration. If Barcelona realize that winning the LaLiga title this season is something that is impossible, then at least Xavi will be more focused on the UCL in the near future. About LaLiga at least there is still plenty of time for Barcelona at least with a target to finish in the top four at the end of the season, I think that is enough considering the difference in points now it is still possible for Barcelona to achieve that target.

A good choice seems to have chosen a win for Real Madrid, moreover they are at the top of the table. Besides that, we also see Real Sociedad are in fourth place in the standings.

I prefer to bet on both teams scoring goals, because both teams will definitely want to get a win and solidify their position in the table.

[boltz]

Villareal fire seems to have been turned off by LaLiga teams this year as this team is nothing like it used to be from last year when they won Europa League. I think Eney should look for a new job at a greater team as Villareal cannot offer a team for this year that can fight for the europe spots.

So many mini derbies today in LaLiga but I do hope Betis and Real Madrid will win.

But maybe Xavi will gamble with Bayern later because I don't think they want to switch castes to the European league next season.
On the other hand, La Liga must be a fixed price for them because if they finish in a less good position, I'm afraid their finances will shrink due to the loss of investors.

Btw 26 minutes of barcelona are running at the moment and as usual Xavi is emphasizing his tiki taka in this match

This season, Barcelona will have a better focus on LaLiga and the Spanish Cup, both of which are more likely to win than the Champions League. There will remain more energy and time to train and learn Xavi's tactics better, although Xavi has not brought anything new to the game so far. Maybe over time the game will become more interesting and high quality.

[KTChampions]

The odds for this match from the bookmakers are absolutely inadequate:
1.49 - 4.8 - 6.3
Betis is above Barcelona in the standings and has slightly better statistics. I think that in this match Barcelona will be under great psychological pressure (as there will be a decisive match against Bayern ahead) and therefore the bet on Betis looks like profitable. I will think about whether to make this bet, most likely I will watch the first minutes of the match and make a decision.

If I have to place a bet in this game I will put it in Barca honestly. They are playing home and they won most of their games in the past vs Betis. Additionally, Barca players are doing fine with Xavi so far, so I think odds aren't that weird although I agree a bit about Betis odds should be somewhere around 3 and not 6 for sure.

Judging by the first half, Betis are playing no worse than Barcelona. At the same time, the odds remain quite unfair in my opinion 1.8 - 3.35 - 5.1 I am sure that betting on Betis is profitable. Maybe today Barcelona will be stronger, but if you take the distance, then in such a game Betis should win more often than once in 5 matches.

Spanish cup is nothing for them. They should focus on La Liga and aim at top 4 because with a position in top 4, they can join Champions League next season. That will help them to earn income from matches and television rights.

In Champions League, it is not a competition they can win so they can simply enjoy it. It is good if they can go far in Champions League and get more money but it is not good if they separate their resources and lose a task to end in top 4 of La Liga.

[Rruchi man]

Barcelona now is not the Barcelona we used to know, they are really lacking in attack because as much as i respect Depay, he is terrible in front and needs to be substituted off the game. Coutinho's style of play is almost the same for every game, defenders know this, and know exactly how to stop him, he should really stop being predictable. The Barcelona team definitely need changes and motivation because as they are currently, i don't see them finishing in top four this season.

[CryptoBuds]

^ Even though Barcelona is not looking like so much right now, I think that Xavi will be able to be up the nerves of the players, and surely the players will do much better over time. In the current situation, the main priority of the team should be to improve their playstyle.

it would be wise if it was done like that, but the most important thing is that their focus now must be on La Liga because indeed they must at least secure a 4th position at the end of the season so as not to lose too much there.
as for the spanish cup, they are now waiting and preparing something it seems because if i'm not mistaken the spanish cup is now just about to make its second round and they can still relax with this.

Talking about Xavi, his current presence gives something quite positive when compared to Koeman some time ago.
At least with the arrival of Xavi they have now been able to minimize their losses and they have not lost even once as long as they are trained by Xavi.

Barcelona is entering a period of transition, Xavi arrive as head coach is expected to increase Barcelona playing level again. Losing an important figure is quite painful for Barcelona. Lionel Messi is the determinant of the rhythm of the Barcelona game. Depay looks pretty good when played on the barcelona front line, but he has not been able to replace the position left by Messi.
This year competition barcelona will not get a single title, Being able to finish in the top 4 is already a great achievement for Barcelona.

And it looks like today Xavi had to accept the fact that his team lost to Real Betis for the first time since becoming Barcelona coach. I didn't see anything interesting from this match even though from the beginning there was belief that Barcelona would win, but it turned out that they suffered a lot throughout the game because they failed to score. Ball possession and high passing accuracy are not a guarantee for Barcelona to score goals, they are still not very good at finishing and this is a difficult problem for Xavi to solve.

My predictions for this weekend Laliga games

Barcelona Vs Betis 2-1

your prediction is miss far off, Barcelona is defeated by real Betis with a score of 1 - 0

Ousmane Dembele has had several good chances to score but somehow none of his chances have been scored. Betis move up to 3rd place while Barca remain 7th in the standings

Same old bs, just a different day.. Betis are still have a season of their dreams, and they deserve every bit of it.

Barcelona looked really harmless during the first half, clueless when playing out from the back and attacking with no real threat whatsoever, Betis were wise not to overcommit themselves, they attack when given the chance present itself and they got their reward.

It was so blind of them to think that Messi was going to play for Barcelona forever. And now potentially without enough money for shopping, it's going to be a bumpy ride for Xavi and his faithfuls.

How long is the Barcelona management willing to see their team go through horrible matches and losses?
How long is the Barcelona management willing to see their club go without major silverware?

All this will depend on how patient they are and how much time they will be willing to give Xavi.
