La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[CryptoBuds]

Last week was great for Betis especially. Because they destroyed Espanyol by 4-1 and made a superb comeback from a 1-0 disadvantage. They are playing very eager in every single game of theirs these days. And while they were winning, Real Madrid and Sevilla both got draws by the same score (2-2). This was good for Betis as they decreased the point difference with them. But I still don't think that Betis can catch the front two teams. I accept that they are having an incredible season but I think that the best place they can finish the season at is the 3rd place.

Real Betis's performance is good. But what is most needed to win the title is 'continuity'. Real Betis may be playing well in some matches. But they are not consistent. They will perform well against a strong team, but then lose points against a weaker team. It is impossible to win the title if you perform in this way. However, they will be able to qualify to play in the Champions League. It is also an honor for them. However, I doubt if they will be able to stay in the top 4 of the table. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are back in form.

We have an Espanyol - Betis game today. Betis are definitely the team being favoured in this game but it can still be a close game. Bookmakers also think in that way as Betis have an odd around 2.4. But I still think that Betis can win this by one goal difference. Espanyol might make them difficulties most of the time but Betis would make use of a win like that. They are in a great shape and Espanyol might not be able to resist them till the end.

Those who showed favorites for betting were not mistaken.  The odds were very good.  Those who evaluated this odds won well because Real Betis defeated Espanyol very comfortably 4-1.  When Espanyol scores the first goal, everyone may have thought that Espanyol would win.  They're playing indoors.  However, Real Betis recovered very well.  They were leading 2-1 in the first half.  They won the game 4-1.

The previous meeting of the two teams ended in a 2-2 draw with one red card for Real Betis. and now Betis did not waste the opportunity. they played better to lead 1-4. and there was also one red card, this time for Espanyol.
Real Betis did well. consistent play and their very prolific striker.

Real Betis' squad quality is very good.  I can say that this win was an expected win.  They were also very superior in terms of play against Espanyol.  As a result, they won 4-1.  It would be very ambitious to call it a championship race, but I still think they will finish the League at the top.  I think Real Betis will do better next year.

Betis performance this season has come as a surprise to many people. I also agree Betis have a pretty good squad, especially their front line is
very productive. In fact, Betis has scored the highest number of goals this season after Real Madrid, this is truly extraordinary. No wonder Betis
when playing away to Espanyol was able to create 4 goals, a very convincing victory. I never thought Betis could be in third place. I really hope
Betis can stay in the top 4 until the end of this season. But to compete for the La Liga trophy, it seems it is still too far if we have to think in that
direction. Let Real Madrid and Sevilla compete for the La Liga trophy this season, if this season Betis manages to be in the top 4, then next season
Betis could have their next target competing for the La Liga trophy.

Sevilla when Elche went 2-0 up: yay!

Sevilla when Real equalised: oh well, we get to try again!

My team is well and truly out of this race but I'm really glad Sevilla still has a chance. Remember, La Liga was won on last day of the season, may this one also end up being the same for all neutrals to enjoy!

Of course Sevilla hopes Elche can beat Real Madrid. Yes, even though in the end Elche couldn't win, I think Sevilla are still happy with the result of the Real Madrid match. The difference of 4 points has not changed until this week, as Sevilla and Real Madrid both drew in their last match. Last time Sevilla were held to a draw by their visitors Celta.

I also thought Real Madrid would lose. But they are very lucky, so they managed to get 1 point from this match. However, if Real Madrid had lost, the title fight would have been more competitive. Sevilla are now only 4 points behind. However, Sevilla's gameplay is not enough good to win the title. Their forward is still weak enough. I don't think they have the ability to win the title. Sevilla's points gap with Real Madrid will increase further in the upcoming matches.

Elche revived Sevilla's hopes. If Real Madrid had not scored in the last seconds, they would have lost to Elche at home. Sevilla, on the other hand, closed this week unfortunately. Against Celta, they were down 2-0 in the first half but 2-2 in the second half. If Sevilla had won, the point difference with Real Madrid would have decreased to 2 points.

Elche were like they had their revenge on Real Madrid in the La Liga. They were the side to get ahead once again and this time they got a 2-0 advantage. This was even more troubling for Real Madrid but they still managed to turn the game around. However they couldn't score the winning goal and it finished by 2-2. Real Madrid made a simple point loss and this helped Sevilla maintain the point gap with them too. There is still a great rivalry between them for the title but I think that Real Madrid deserve it more for now.

I have to say that Elche played exceptionally well against Real Madrid. With the form Real Madrid were on throughout the season, I was hesitant that anyone would be able to go close to them.

But Elche made a draw, which could have been a win for them unless Militao did a Ramos and scored in the 92nd minute. And prior to that Modric was able to convert the spot-kick and it gave Real the relief they needed.

Elche should have been able to take revenge after suffering a defeat in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey but Elche's 2-0 advantage until the 82nd minute failed to be maintained by Elche so that Madrid equalized, it really hurt the last goal from Madrid through Militao's header because it happened in the last minute of added time, maybe if Elche is able to appear consistent and apply defensive play in the last minute, they can get three points from Madrid. Elche's defense began to lose focus when militao was able to equalize with a header without a tight guard from Elche's defenders.

Actually, Real Madrid could have won against Elche, it's just that they underestimated Elche. Elche did lose in ball possession and they only had a few chances but because of Real Madrid's poor defense Elche can score 2 goals. If Real Madrid's performance continues like this (especially their defense) then they might be overtaken by Sevilla.

That is the weakness of Real Madrid's defense, this should not let Elche score a goal if his defense is good but this was not solid in last night's match, but Real Madrid could reply back it was quite good even though it was not satisfactory, but there is also a breath for Madrid because Sevilla also ended in a draw.
So points are still quite difficult to pass if Real Madrid can maintain it.

On the other hand Barcelona are also starting to crawl up the table and next week with Atletico so this is quite tough too.

You're right. I totally agree. But you also know that you should never underestimate your opponent in such matches. I thought Real Madrid had gained a bitter experience from Getafe in this regard.But they may still be underestimating their competitors. Elche was about to win.

Sevilla is not dangerous - the maximum that they can do is to go almost at the pace of Real Madrid but a little bit gradually lagging behind, this can be seen even in yesterday's games. But PSG is dangerous and if Real Madrid gives it the chances that it gives to weak teams in La Liga, then it will definitely lose.

The difference in score is only 4 points. Now the existence of Sevilla is a little threatening in several positions. If you see Real Madrid will try to maximize the match ahead. The defeat of Elche is indeed a reflection that whoever the opponent is said to be weak or strong, the fact is that on the field, everyone must remain vigilant. It doesn't matter even if their opponent is weak because usually, that's what will become the forerunner of the opponent's defense suddenly becoming strong.

By drawing the match with Elche, Real Madrid understands very well that it is not right to think that the opponent is never weak. If the expectation is to win the title, then every point is very important. So you have to perform very carefully in every match. Small mistakes can be the cause of defeat.
Before playing with PSG in the Champions League, Real Madrid will play Villarreal and Granada in La Liga. Villarreal good team. If Real Madrid thinks the Champions League match is more important then maybe they will lose points in this match.

sevilla are only 4 points away and need 2 wins in a row while real madrid have to lose 2 matches later  but that's also not easy because real madrid should be able to maintain balance of their points ,interesting if real madrid only differ by 1 point later ! Big clubs against weak clubs don't always run smoothly and Real Madrid will definitely remember that

I marked some Madrid games, they drew against Cadiz, then won against Elche and they played again and drew. Maybe you are right Madrid underestimate Elche too much, they are too sure they will win. Madrid dropped 2 points, it makes Sevilla will get closer and easier to catch Madrid for the Spanish league champions. But this incident continues to repeat Madrid always difficult to score against small teams.

The remaining 2 clubs that Real Madrid needs to beat for the time being are Atletico Madrid and Granada. Both were quite effective and became a great opportunity for Real Madrid to continue to maintain their position. As much as possible, winning without reply is better than having to draw like with Elche. Real Madrid must really risk the match this time and fix the gap at the back to make it more tight.

Barcelona were losing points by conceding simple goals in the last matches, this time it was the opposite. They won the match which they didn't play very well, with the goal they found in the last moments. No doubt they needed this win. They are way behind in the standings. Although they are far from the championship, they must do their best to finish the league in second place at least. Xavi couldn't figure some things out. If he's going to rebuild the team, he should start now. We should see a better Barcelona next season. Fans can't stand two seasons in a row without any championship chance.

Although often experiencing difficulties in every game, barcelona is now starting to be stable enough to get points in the league, slowly they are starting to approach the top 4 position and this is a threat to athletico who actually ran quite fast at the beginning of the season from barcelona, ​​although not fully improved but xavi looks to have managed to overcome the pressure by improving the quality of Barcelona current game.

Since Ferran Torres joined the Barcelona team, Barcelona has played great in every match. Barcelona's attack was very weak. Now it has begun to stabilize. If Fati, Depay and Torres can play without injury, Barcelona will be able to maintain their consistent performance. But Barcelona's midfield is not yet stable enough. Next season, maybe Barcelona will stabilize the midfield. Barcelona can improve themselves, but Atletico Madrid is not playing well. Suarez and Griezmann are out of form. Its effect is seen on the entire team.

Sevilla's points gap with Real Madrid will increase further in the upcoming matches.

I don't think that Real Madrid will lose that easily. And proved they can equalize even though created in the last minute. Even if there is still enough time, I think they will be able to come back with a win. Their mentality is too strong, not 1 or 2 times I've seen Real Madrid turn things around.

I was actually really shocked when I saw that Real Madrid didn't win the match and the result was a draw. Real Madrid in that match were for better than their opponent.

They had more possession, more accuracy, more shots on goal, but they made two crucial mistakes and had to pay for it.

Actually, I think they might take a breath of relief after they scored two back-to-back goals and secured the one point from that match. Day of fiercely need to improve their defensive game. Or else, Sevilla is not really far behind.

both my bets failed against the same team.
The movements of Benzema and Vinicius are always locked so they find it difficult to develop the game and find gaps.
On the other hand, in the 2 goals scored by Elche, it was purely the fault of the Madrid players, I think, they were too focused on the attack so that when they got a counter attack they lost momentum to park players from Elche and the attacking defenders failed to return to their original place, making them conceded easily.
besides that, the missed penalty from Benzema and the brilliant performance of Edgar Badia made them fail to get full points.
