La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[snipie]

Although Barcelona missed few chances in the beginning, they were back on fire with back to back goals. Aubameyang was perfect and correctly used the chance came to his side. A quick and a perfect goal. Then could see goals flowing in back to back. 2nd goal was a brilliant strike from Dembele and followed by Jong and Debay's goals. Both really played their best and contributed a goal each. The shocking this is, Athletic club was not even near to the goal post giving a try. Once again a best performance from Barcelona.

Dunno if Arsenal is happy for getting ride of him or angry for his attitude with them while doing good in Barca
So far Barcelone is doing good in different leagues, collecting many points but unfortunately they came late.. 15 points with 12-13 matches left are too much. Best they can do is to win EL

[Minecache]

The match between top clubs Granada and Cadiz promises to be intense! Bookmakers favour Granada with 2.2 against 3.9 for Cadiz... Probably a draw or no goals scored... Recent head-to-head encounters are not goal-rich and more often ended in a draw...

A close pal that does betting told me it was gonna end a draw.
I'm not sure about this, but the bookmakers have favoured the home side to win.
Should I say a both team score will come through, Granada are better from time, but they all have bad games.

I don't think Granada will win. Maybe the match will be a draw or not. Both teams are basically very weak. So the chances of a draw in this match are high. Even if it is a home match for Granada, they will not be able to take advantage of the home. Granada's performance is very bad now. Home or away is not a fact for them at the moment.

Yea Barcelona is truly coming back to form to form,but topping Sevilla in the Spanish league table ranking will be a difficult feat, because Sevilla is doing well too and are already topping Barcelona with more than eight points,In Atletico Madrid case I think they can overtake real betis for the 4th position they have a better manager with good experience and a better squad than real betis

Sevilla are still 9 points ahead of Barcelona. Looking at it in the points table, it may seem almost impossible for Barcelona to move to second place in the table. But I don't think it's impossible. Because Barcelona is in the truck now.
Sevilla have scored 9 points in the last 5 matches, while Barcelona have scored 13 points in the last 5 matches. Sevilla are not a very strong team. They will lose points in the upcomming matches. If Barcelona can maintain the continuity, they will be able to come in second place in the table.

Barcelona are dominating the Athletic Bilbao match right now but they still couldn't score another goal. They may be leading the match by 1-0 now but this is still a risky score for them. Athletic Bilbao are a dangerous team under every condition. If they find an opening in Barcelona defense somehow, they could score the devastating goal for Barcelona. Hopefully, Barcelona can end their hopes by scoring another one. By the way, Aubameyang scored the only goal so far and he continues to mesmerize people by a good performance.

I'm excited over the game last night between Barcelona and athletic Bilbao and the comfortable way in which the Catalan giants won the game at the Camp Nou. Goals from aubameyang in the first half boosted their confidence to upset and dominate athletic Bilbao. When it looked as if the game would end in a goal, dembele came through for them in the 73rd minute. Then the remaining two goals from De jong and Memphis depay sealed the fate of the visitors. Although, they showed promise, shooting shots at goal, but nothing came out of it. Congratulations to Barcelona on another much deserved win.

I agree with you somewhat. I don't like Sevilla's gameplay. If they had hoped for a title, their performance would have been more stable and strong. They may have lost just two matches this season. But they have drawn in 9 matches. The match has even drawn with many weaker teams. Moreover, they are having enough problems to score goals. The Barcelona forward, on the other hand, now seems to me to be La Liga's best forward. They are playing great and scoring goals in almost every match.

[jostorres]

I also heard news that Xavi wants to sign Iniesta into his management later after the contract ends with the Japanese club until 2024 I think this will be a strong management if Iniesta joins later it will be very harmonious if they both are compact worthy players first at Barcelona, so will be stronger where they look for reliable players under his tutelage.
Saying this because their current striker is a perfect match for a shining young player like Aubameyang.

Iniesta could be awesome to pair up with Xavi. Technically speaking he is still a player, not really a manager or staff level right now and still playing. No idea why, but he is also getting paid more than most major names as well, his Japanese club is paying him 30 million dollars a year which is more than the likes of Lewandowski and salah and mbappe.

That is not a joke, he is actually getting that much money for playing in Japan. Could be some other reasons involved, I do not know but that is the case for him to be there. Would he leave 30+ million a year and join Barcelona as staff? That would be very hard, I feel like he probably won't do that.

Actually, I still feel that their gameplay is still quite good, even though up to now their performance is still not perfect.
Draw is at least better than losing and they are now the team that has lost the least amount of games in La Liga with 2 defeats (same as Madrid) and I think they are doing quite well.
Barcelona are a good team and now they are only 9 adrift with 1 game remaining.
I think Chance is still there and very big but indeed this has to be seen from Barcelona's game also in the face of the current hectic schedule

[Sirait]

the cadiz vs granada match will start soon, the head to head of both teams is almost the same. but i think this time the host (granada) will win!

Although Barcelona missed few chances in the beginning, they were back on fire with back to back goals. Aubameyang was perfect and correctly used the chance came to his side. A quick and a perfect goal.

with aubameyang's outstanding performance at barca at the moment, i wonder what the arsenal management are thinking , last january they released aubameyang to barca, maybe now they regret it.

[blackened515]

The Granada match have eventually started. I will say Granada are the most favorite here, because they are  hosting in their home. But, I think we will witness a tough match. Cadiz are in the relegation zone, and they needs more points to slide to the safe side on the standings. However, Granada performance lately have been terrible. While they lost some couple of points in their previous matches. The team needs to improve, and that should start from their ongoing match.

[Spack17]

It seems like the Barcelona we have known are back! They continued to destroy another competitor today. They had a home match against Athletic Bilbao and I guess that most people expected a big rivalry in this match. But Barcelona proved those people including me wrong. They really controlled the match from the start to the end and their domination was even more in the second half. Suddenly, the score came to 4-0 from 1-0 and they finished Athletic Bilbao off by a spectacular score. They are still keeping the fourth place now.

The last substitutions really made a direct impact, I barely missed the 1st half, but seeing the 2nd half, I only see Barcelona are on its perfect form. The flow of how their built up the attack was beautiful that many resulted in a goal. Their substitutes who are barely getting into the game with a few minutes left are making use of their playtime perfectly. I believe if Barcelona maintains its form, they will get better standings.

I just wish Barcelona showed this incredible performance from the beginning of the season already. But it is still very good to see that they are getting close to the level that we would like to see from a team like Barcelona. Maybe their budget is limited for now and they couldn't make huge transfers in the last two transfer windows. But I'm really contented with Torres and Aubameyang transfers now. They both are doing very good. Aubameyang is already adapting to the team by scoring goals. He also is getting close to his old version which scores many goals in a season.

Sevilla have not been consistent I agree but you have to give them credit for trying their best in this  season and they still need to work hard so that they won't be dropping points. Truth be tod Barcelona team has improved but I do not see them finishing ahead of Sevilla.

They are effective that is all. Some of the best known teams a national teams in the world are know to be mostly game destroyers rather than brilliant football making stars. Sevilla is still worth watching, nothing to do with other styles such as the traditional Italian gameplay of freezing the game, delaying tactics and all the usual tactical faults and game control when winning.

I think at this point, after it has become clear that they cannot become league champions, they will focus on the Europa League and try to take the title in that particular European cup... And we already know how well they play in this tournament, they have proved that three times in a row. For now, I will be watching them in Europa League, where I am more interested in them...

[nurilham]

All of the goals made by Barcelona strikers, simply indicate that their attackers are strong enough right now. Xavi is really brilliant to motivate and rebuild again Barcelona squad, they have performed well again lately. I saw what Xavi done is much better than Koeman, he knows how to make players' motivation to win bigger. Especially for Aubameyang, this player brings a new spirit to Barcelona. While Dembele can find again his best form during Xavi management.

Xavi is indeed a good Coach, I observed that Barcelona no longer struggle to win matches, they are actually improving in term of performance under Xavi. It was Interesting seeing how cooperative the players are on the field. Also, ever since the arrival of Aubameyang to the team, he has been playing real good, and have scored some couple of goals. Xavi probably made a good decision by signing him. While, Koeman problem was that he lacked good strategy.

Indeed, Barcelona has been proper enough by choosing Xavi as their coach. Xavi brings new things and differences that make that club better and better again. No matter what, Xavi was a professional and good player, so maybe he understands better not only the quality of the players but also how to motivate players to be consistent, cooperative, and play more professionally on the field. But exactly, he must not be satisfied only with his, for, there are still several elements and lines that must be improved again.

While they lost some couple of points in their previous matches. The team needs to improve, and that should start from their ongoing match.

The present situation of the match appears to be very tough for Granada, who, although playing at home, have had a red card since the 32nd minute of the game, giving Cadiz the opportunity to play them well. Cadiz is now dominating the game because they have practically every statistical advantage in the game, and they may even win in the final 10 minutes.

[Velvet78]

It was an amazing weekend for Barcelona again. They had another tough game and it was against Athletic Bilbao this time. I wasn't expecting it to be a very easy game for Barcelona truthfully. Athletic Bilbao were a very good team at resisting big teams and I expected a similar performance from them here too. But it really seemed like nothing would stand in front of Barcelona. And they obliterated Athletic Bilbao by 4-0 in Camp Nou. Xavi must be delighted with this performance and he would like to see it more on the coming weeks.

[TelolettOm]

Amazing Barcelona. This club is really increasing, moreover after Aubameyang is there. Xavi is also doing great to bring Barcelona so far.
With the last result, 4-0 defeating Athletico Club, now Barcelona is in the 4 standing.

They are now has scored 12 goals in the last 3 matches , 4 goals for each game and it's not against average team indeed.
Should we called barcelona is finally back?

Yes, scoring 4 goals in every match in the sequence is really satisfying and this proves little by lite that Barcelona may be coming back again. But, they cannot stop there, because there are still many challenges that Xavi and his team must manage and also defeat. Nothing easy in the game, moreover there are still some problems that must be solved and increased again in the club. But so far, Xavi really brings very good improvement not only to the players but also to the club. He signed several players very well and some of them are now very influencing in the club.

The most important task of a club's head coach in professional football in the modern world is to work with players and build relationships with them correctly, especially when it comes to a club like Barcelona. The story of Dembele, who refused to renew his contract and the club tried to get rid of him in the winter, is indicative, the club president demanded to be suspended from matches, but Xavi defended the player and trusted him, and now Dembele is showing an excellent game, and Laporta already wants the player to stay in the summer and offer a new contract. All this speaks of Xavi's sufficient authority in the team and the fact that the head coach holds the management of the team in his hands, despite his rather young age as a coach.

I already knew Granada will not go home with 3 points in today's match. No matter that both Granada and Cadiz are in danger zone but Cadiz is in more danger zone and Cadiz in the recent matches is in good form than Granada. Granada was also lucky to say because they were one man down right from first half and ended up having a 1 point in the match. I think Granada is somehow safe now.

[logfiles]

I agree with you somewhat. I don't like Sevilla's gameplay. If they had hoped for a title, their performance would have been more stable and strong. They may have lost just two matches this season.

The Barcelona forward, on the other hand, now seems to me to be La Liga's best forward. They are playing great and scoring goals in almost every match.

Seville would be a good team, but looking at their squad explains why they are so inconsistent. Their squad is so thin and with the club having some injured key players, the quality of the team's performance isn't that good.

They will probably finish second if they try so hard.
