La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Falconer]

It should be the time Barcelona won finally this week. The next competitor of them is Elche this time. And Elche are one of the out-of-form teams of the season so far. Barcelona have a golden opportunity right in front of them. They shouldn't turn down this chance as they can have a comfortable victory at the end of this match. I know they still have players missing but this is still a match that can win.

Winning and securing 3 points is mandatory for Barcelona from now on. They have dropped so many points this season that they have not been able to improve their consistency in every match. I know some of their mainstay players have been injured this season and that has affected their team's performance so far.

If you ask me then I will answer that Barcelona will never win easily against any team in Laliga at the moment even if it is a team in the relegation zone. This young team doesn't have the mental strength to beat their opponents I guess. If all the players never think that they are a big team that can beat any team in the match, then they really have to lose mentally to the senior players of the opposing team. They really have to have high confidence compared to other players even though the opposing players are top players.

There is a tough weekend ahead for Sevilla and Atletico Madrid as they are going to have a game against each other in Sevilla's stadium. If we compare the recent form of each team, we can clearly see that Sevilla are in a much better shape than Atletico Madrid. Maybe Atletico Madrid managed to move on in the Champions League by defeating Porto. But they are still struggling in the La Liga. They have a two-game losing streak now. Their goal would be getting at least one point here. But Sevilla are one of the bests as for home games. They won 6 of their 7 home games and got a draw in the remaining one. Sevilla might win again but I still feel like it will be ending in a draw.

Real Madrid have the highest chances of winning the title. They are ahead in points, at the same time their performance is more stable than other teams. They have been outstanding in both the Champions League and La Liga. But if Benzema loses form or gets injured then I doubt if their performance will be stable.

Madrid are very dependent on Benzema, they have not found a bride until now. But looking at the development of their young players, especially Vinicius Jr. it is very interesting. He used to be insulted by Benzema but today he is a very developed player. He is able to give the best action in every Madrid game. I do not expect Benzema to be injured, but of course I hope in Anceloti to be able to maintain the stamina and health of the players.

What should be without Benzema? because if you just depend on it then there will be a bit of a shock in the Real Madrid camp at this time. But it's not seen at all, they can cover the shortcomings very neatly and are able to control the game situation until now. So I don't expect Real Madrid's void without Benzema to be able to cover as well as possible. Don't be like Barcelona without Messi, who ultimately doesn't know where to go.

Barcelona have a golden opportunity right in front of them. They shouldn't turn down this chance as they can have a comfortable victory at the end of this match. I know they still have players missing but this is still a match that can win.

Just cause we're hoping Barcelona can beat Elche just goes to show how bad a season the club is actually experiencing, out of the CL, nearly zero chance of winning the league, struggling to even have a place in one of the top four spots, etc, that's some of the disappointments Barcelona as a team is facing, in my opinion, we are well and truly seeing the end of an era. Elche should be an easy opposition for them, and I'm pretty sure Xavi will put pressure on his players to go out there and get the job done, every win and three points is so crucial for Barcelona as things stands.

It is a comfortable weekend for Barcelona and Real Madrid while it is not the same for Sevilla and Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid have a great opportunity to widen the gap with Sevilla in case Sevilla lose points against Atletico Madrid. And they are very likely to do so I assume. And Barcelona are gonna play an easy game vs Elche and it is an important chance to start to recover.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are going to enjoy this week with some easy matches but few teams having very difficult task ahead for living into soft zone like Real Sociedad is going to face Villarreal with poor form is currently bringing them some down so if they lost against Villarreal is going to have some good points and surely Barcelona is also going to enjoy this lost for them in another crucial match Sevilla is going to face Atletico Madrid which is also very important for both teams Sevilla having some good form instead of Atletico Madrid which already lost 2 matches one against Mallorca and other one against Real Madrid.

We have to get used to seeing goodbyes like this in football now.  There were people who predicted that Sergio Agüero will play football for at least 2-3 more years.  He had to leave early due to health reasons.  It is a fact that now Agüero's icon card will be released in Fifa.  Because he was a legend.

The most difficult retirement is when it is not by your choice.
when an injury or a special condition forces you to leave football and you still want to play
Aguero retirement will leave a great imprint that will not be forgotten in the hearts of City in particular, but in the heart of every Argentine in general.
one Few footballers do not find anyone who hates him or reduces his talent and presence.

[judas]

It is a really sad goodbye by Sergio Aguero. He just had to retire after starting to have serious heart problems. This is the second time I see a footballer having heart problems after Christian Eriksen lately. Sergio Aguero is 33 years old now and he could have still played for more years if it weren't for his health problem. I will really miss him as he had a great career.

There is no doubt about his ability and talent he was one of the best players in Argentina history and his achievement here in Manchester City was also unforgettable, but sadly he leaves this soccer very early just because of health is priority instead of sports. He will be remembered as good player from Argentina after Maradona and Messi with some good respect because of his gentleness and quality of game was unanimous.

Barcelona is also facing some serious trouble just because of this in his presence, surely they can feel much better and have some better results, but sadly now all ends in very quickly.

This was really touching when i heard Sergio had to retire because of heart problem.He was really a great player that everyone could attest to.While at Manchester city he was one of the best attackers in England,and we expected to see more of him before his heart started being a concern.
It's rather too early to retire at his age,but it is necessary and important to save life.

Barcelona should be able to benefit from another opportunity in a few days. They have even a weaker opponent this time like Elche and it is a home match for Barcelona. I don't want to even imagine that they are losing points at the end of this match also. I might ignore the Osasuna match but I can't do the same thing for this match too. This could be one of the most comfortable matches for them.

That not guarantee with Barcelona able to get three points although against with Elche and playing as home match, looking the situation last match against Osasuna just draw only and referee give chance for Barcelona without giving penalty kick and not able to see VAR I think have been over with Barcelona right now, just focus how can wake up and exactly finish with the top four position where have chance back to champion league next year.

I understand why people are not very comfortable about this match and I also have a little doubt to tell the truth. I don't trust Barcelona as much as betting on their victory. But I just want to believe that they can win this match at least. They can't find this kind of opponents all the time. As long as they win this kind of matches, it will help them improve their performance level a lot.

Madrid are very dependent on Benzema, they have not found a bride until now.

Not very dependent as Barcelona depends on Messi. I can see in some matches, Real Madrid has no problem in scoring and winning the match although they have no Benzema in the line-up. Their defense line and midfield line are quite solid, while in the attacking line they have Vinicius and Asensio as two productive strikers.

But looking at the development of their young players, especially Vinicius Jr. it is very interesting. He used to be insulted by Benzema but today he is a very developed player.

Vinicius was insulted by Benzema? Are you serious, mate? I never read this issue previously, maybe I miss it. But yes, Vinicius has developed very well since he came to Real Madrid. He has a big role in the attacking line, he plays as a machine goal and also a creator of some key passes. I cannot imagine if he is injured, Real Madrid probably will have a serious problem in attacking.

Sevilla vs Atletico Madrid match seems to be the most attention getting one for this round of the La Liga. My expectation from this match is not seeing Sevilla losing this home match of them. They are quite in-form now and their next victim might be Atletico Madrid. But it is not going to be an easy task for Sevilla that's for sure. My first choice would be both teams to score if I bet on this match.

They really have to have high confidence compared to other players even though the opposing players are top players.

Self-confidence should be supported by something and this fuel, which reinforces everything and is victory. Therefore, it is silly to talk about the confidence of players if they constantly lose or allow draw results. Therefore, you just need to show diligence in matches with opponents who are lower class or comparable, and then confidence will gradually come. But if the team is confident in itself, but this is not supported by anything, then this is fraught with a loss of confidence and an even greater deterioration of the situation. It's just that the team needs to soberly assess their strength, not greatly overestimating them, but also not to underestimate them. With the normal coaching of Xavi and the formation of a team game, Barcelona is quite able to qualify for the Champions League for next season.

[Expecto]

I wonder if the Barcelona players are fired up about becoming victorious in their next game against Elche. They had better be like that now. Unless they get wins regularly, there is no way that they can recover in the rest of the season. I understand that they are struggling with injuries too. But they are still a capable team to beat at least weak opponents in comparison to Barcelona.

My first choice would be both teams to score if I bet on this match.

Atletico have had tough opponents in the previous two matches as well as this one, so the fitness factor is a concern as well. Indeed, Sevilla's chances of winning here are open because in fact, Sevilla's record so far this season is better for home and away matches. But even so I also anticipate a draw in this match and if I had to bet on this match, it seems I will choose the under 2.5 goals option or maybe lower because it looks like the match will be tough.

[Boristhecat]

When Xavi came Barcelona were 10 points behind Real, now they are 18 points behind (I think that Barcelona is unlikely to win the "spare" game against Sevilla). This is a good argument to blame Xavi, but if you look objectively, what opportunities did he have? Barcelona's squad leaves a lot to be desired and it is possible that positive changes will come only after new players are acquired.

Behind 18 points with the leader of the standings makes Barcelona have to bury the dream to compete for the La-Liga title this season. Xavi arrival is expected to have a positive influence on Barcelona poor performance when Ronald Koeman was still Barcelona coach. But so far Xavi has not been able to provide the best for Barcelona. Defeat after defeat becomes a bad gift for Barcelona management. Joan Laporta must move quickly to bring in new players, Erling Haaland is considered the right striker to strengthen Barcelona attack line. Ferran Torres is also a target for Barcelona. But barcelona had to make big sales to get fresh funds to get their coveted player.

I think that even the most optimistic fans did not think about the championship even before the appointment of Xavi - Barcelona lagged behind too much, but besides that, even from the composition of the team it is clear that the club will not claim titles this season. Xavi's appointment (with his training system and emphasis on building team cohesion and discipline) seems like a long-term strategy, perhaps Barcelona wants to nurture a new generation of champions to replace the one that gone. But undoubtedly, some of the players they will still have to buy.

But they are still a capable team to beat at least weak opponents in comparison to Barcelona.

After drawing 2-2 with Osasuna last weekend, Barcelona will be looking to get back to winning ways in La Liga when they host Elche. Barca must get a win in order to move closer to the Champions League zone. Barcelona is still in the stage of improving its performance. In the last few games, the performance of Barcelona was very far from what was expected. Sometimes in one game Barcelona performance is quite good, but in the next game they played badly. Even though playing in his own cage, Barcelona chances of winning are very slim.

[Red Pie]

The new week will start with the Celta Vigo-Espanyol match to be played tomorrow.  There is a 6 point difference between Espanyol and Celta.  If Celta wants to go to the top, they definitely have to win this match.  Espanyol, on the other hand, have to win to go to the European cups.  We can watch a good game.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I will definitely be watching the Sevilla - Atletico Madrid game. I'm hoping for a delightful game that each team score a goal or goals. Sevilla are the advantageous team when it comes to getting a win. They have had a better form than Atletico recently. Atletico lost their last two La Liga games. I understand the loss against Real Madrid but the one against Mallorca home was really shocking to me. They aren't a reliable team these days and I think that Sevilla will get at least one point.
