La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Rayo Vallecano    VS    Real Betis
Rayo Vallecano is now playing against Real Betis in Copa del Rey's Semi. Real Betis are definitely favorites in this match. If Rayo Vallecano's team is not regular in its performance, they are capable of winning against any strong team. We have been fascinated by Rayo's performance in many matches in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if Rayo wins today's match. Rayo went ahead 1-0 with a goal in just 5 minutes. Real Betis has yet to make an attack.

Real Betis is not playing defensively. Their performance this season is good enough. They are now third in La Liga. They have an experienced squad than Rayo Vallecano. Although they played a little bit slow at first, but after conceding a goal, they made several good attacks. And was able to score a goal. Although Rayo's performance is unpredictable, it doesn't look like they will be able to beat Real Betis..

If we look at this season Real Madrid and Sevilla have only played 23 games, there are still quite a few rounds to be completed by Real Madrid and Sevilla. This means that for Sevilla it is still possible to replace Real Madrid at the top, because now there are only 6 points difference between Real Madrid and Sevilla. But it is surprising if it is true that when Real Madrid is replaced by Sevilla, because I don't think Real Madrid will let that happen. Real Madrid has a winning mentality, so Real Madrid will try not to lose a lot of points.

I doubt that. I mean sure Sevilla is having a good season and yes there is mathematically a possibility but Real is not really the type of team that leaves their foot off the gas and starts to play badly. They are going to win the championship for sure, in fact I would wager a lot for them to win this season, 10to1 odds and I would still wager a ton because I am %100 sure about them winning. Unfortunately there are no places offering outrights for la liga anymore since it is so obvious and that should tell you enough about how unlikely for anyone else to win the season. I am not saying that Sevilla has no chance left mathematically but football is not played on paper.

Rayo Vallecano was good, but in last few weeks they are dropped very badly in performance and in league table as well. They were dominating in league table but now at 9th position which is really poor from them and Betis is still at 3rd position which ability that he can hold this very strongly. Today in this first semi-final start was good for Rayo Vallecano were very good but Betis is also having very competitive side, so now they are at level with we are in 40th minute of this match. Still, both teams have equal chance of wining this match and staying in good chance for reaching into final of this Copa del Rey's.

Second semi-final is going to be played between Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia tomorrow which is currently had very hot favourite status for Athletic Bilbao.

Real madrid will play against a difficult opponent in the next round they will face villarreal away a tough team on the otherhand sevilla will play home against elche i think we might see sevilla reducing the gap between them and real madrid since i doubt real will beat villarreal without their key players benzema, mendy, lucas vasquez and casemiro.

Let's see what you would say if Sevilla had scored their penalty and won against Osasuna, and Real Madrid would not have been able to pick up the keys to the gates of Granada Football is really not played on paper and any little things can have disastrous consequences for some teams and vice versa fantastic for others. Real Madrid at the moment does not look like the team that can win against any club in La Liga with a clear advantage and injuries of players in this may play an important role. Therefore, I still advise you to respect the chances of Sevilla, which takes second place in the standings not at all thanks to naked mathematics and playing on paper

They can beat Villarreal. Vinicius Jr just has to show up in the game. I still don't understand why Jovic gets under utilized even during these times when Benzema is absent. In the game which Real Madrid lost to Athletic Bilbao, he never played.

[lulumiya]

Rayo Vallecano fought back much harder than Real Sociedad against Betis today in the Copa del Rey game. We have watched a balanced game. But Betis still succeeded in getting another win by 2-1. And this is a huge advantage for them before the rematch. I assume that Betis would finish the job in the second leg. And they seem to be the biggest candidate to win the title now. But there is an Athletic Bilbao threat too. They have eliminated Real Madrid previously and they seem really determined.

Although this is a minimal victory, but given the fact that this is an away match and the decisive match will be home for Betis, we can assume that Betis is now the clear favorite in this pair and the chances of Rayo Valekano are no more than 10-15 percent. But it was quite expected - Rayo Vallecano looks like the weakest team in the remaining four.

If you doubt what Real Madrid can do at this point,that means you've not been watching their matches lately.Real Madrid is one of the most inform team in Laliga and I don't think Sevilla can even stand them.
They might prove stubborn,but Madrid will still go home with the three points.

Meanwhile,Sevilla will try their possible best not be bitten by Real Madrid,but Madrid will win that game optimistically.

Anything can happen in this game. Real Madrid will be the champion of the league, they should not lose points in this match Villarreal also have a good score and if they win this match they could come to a very good place in the standings. Both teams will want to win this match.
It is difficult to predict which team will win the match as there are missing players

To me,I can say Xavi has changed a lot of things at the club.

No problem, I don't say Xavi cannot improve the team. I stated that claiming Xavi is successful to change them, is still too early.
I don't deny Xavi has done a great job to raise Barcelona position on the table, from 8th to 4th place. Sure, he makes Barcelona players' play more solidly and confident, that's a good improvement.

Rodrygo's current form has fallen short of expectations and there really is no other choice now as there must be a center forward now before getting their new striker.

Actually, Real Madrid has Jovic as an option of pure central forward. Unfortunately, his performance is very unsatisfactory during this season. So, Acellotti tries to put Asensio or Rodrygo as a central forward. Of course, it is only a temporary option before they have new pure central forwards.

Maybe too early to draw conclusions, but Xavi makes a much better impression on me than Koeman. Koeman is a deeply overrated coach, it was a big mistake by Barcelona to appoint him as coach. He has never been successful at previous clubs. I do not understand what Barcelona saw in Koeman. I think Xavi will get it right, he is doing well now.

As an expected result, Real Betis wins the match.
But in this match, Rayo also has played very well. It can be seen from how they can also make the ball possession to be quite balanced.
Yes, this is only a gap 1 goal, but the winner has been decided.

No problem, I don't say Xavi cannot improve the team. I stated that claiming Xavi is successful to change them, is still too early.

It is not easy to turn back to Barcelona to have as good as their past games. Actually, Barcelona has played very well in the previous match by defeating Atletico Madrid with a score of 4-2. Xavi and his team have struggled very much. But we also know that Xavi is still struggling, too early to state that he is successful in making Barcelona more succesful.
We can see how some matches in the future will be again, it will be succesful again or not.

[ropyu1978]

It's too soon to conclude Xavi Hernandez's success with Barcelona even though they have only won one big match, I think they forgot about Barcelona's failure in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. Perhaps optimistic that Barcelona's performance under Xavi will be better than the previous coach, but he has given the most fatal failure when Barcelona were eliminated in the Champions League group stage, this is the first time in Barcelona's history that they failed to qualify from the group stage.

You can't blame Xavi Hernandez for the failure of Barcelona not qualifier for the champions League knockouts stage, before xavi came Barcelona are already in a difficult state to qualify so is not his fault, since he came the performance has improved and they are grinding out results, with the signing of Torres, Adama Traore and Aubameyang I think they can only get better.
[/quote]
I also agree with your review, I personally think it might be too early to praise Xavi's performance, because they have been knocked out of the Copa del Rey and Champions League, one big win, don't praise like a god, I'm afraid later if I lose to a lesser team for sure criticized again, maybe now the club president is proud because xavi's statistics are proof of victory with atm, let him focus on fighting to be able to bring barcelona to secure a place in the champions league next season, after going through one season as coach then we can give an assessment to young coaches..

The match was quite balanced in performance. Rayo Vallecano didn't play so bad, they literally tried their best. But, unfortunately Real Betis been one of the strong team in La Liga were still able to win the game when Carvalho scored their second goal in the second half and Rayo could not equalize the score. However, Real Betis seems the favorite club to win the title. Because, in terms of squad strength. Real Betis is a bit more stronger than Athletic Bilbao.

Copa del Rey upcoming match Bilbao vs Valencia and seems home team were very confident because as the runner up last year they believe Bilbao will get the trophy this year but head to head between them and Valencia seems equally strong because they were able to defeated each other but indeed as home team Bilbao slightly favourite here but regarding results match or option bets i personally more prefer to pick draw results because seems this match will very tight

It seems that this season's Copa del rey can be said to belong to Athletic Bilbao even though they are still in the semi-finals, Barcelona and Real Madrid being the teams that Bilbao managed to get rid of is one of the strong reasons for being able to win the Copa del Rey title this season, especially Valencia who performed less. consistent in La Liga this season it seems quite easy for Bilbao to win in the first leg. I have watch Bilbao game play when defeated Real Madrid and looks have good performance and they can playing consistent know when have defensive and attack moment.

I don't think choosing a draw is the right choice for tonight's match, the draw odds are 3.45 of course it will be very tempting but the possibility of winning Bilbao is very large considering their increased mentality and confidence and it will affect the good performance that will be shown on the field after they beat Real Madrid last week.
and the odds for a Bilbao win are 1.85 I think it's pretty good with the odds for a very big Bilbao win, I'm willing to bet a lot on Bilbao's win tonight.

[hahay]

Obviously Bilbao are the favorites in the Copa del Rey semi-finals because even Bilbao can get rid of Real Madrid in the previous match or in the quarter-finals. Also, I believe Bilbao will be the winners of the Copa del Rey title this season because the opponent they will face in the final is Betis although it will still be decided in the 2nd leg. Indeed, I realize Betis this season is looking good and even better in the La Liga standings than Bilbao, but if it is true that Bilbao can win today's match against Valencia then obviously Bilbao have a better winning mentality than Betis and now that is a factor for them to succeed.

[CLS63]

Betis and Athletic Bilbao are the absolute favourites for the Copa del Rey title now. Betis already played their game against Vallecano in the first leg of the semi finals and defeated them by 2-1 in an away game. We can already consider them as one of the finalists I think. Because Betis wouldn't do any mistake in the second leg and they would finish it. And Athletic Bilbao are going to play a home game against Valencia today. I expect a certain victory for Athletic Bilbao. They would be the another finalists.
