La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[_BlackStar]

I wonder if those who began to praise Barcelona based on the latest results after this labored victory over an outsider will change their minds and face the truth?  I doubt. Maybe this will happen after meeting with a stronger opponent or losing points from another outsider.

My assumption is that Barcelona can no longer be underestimated in every match even though the opponent is a strong team like Real Madrid. Look at their last few match and I think it was a great performance after they started the season badly.

Xavi who came as the successor to Koeman could not change the game and the mentality of the team quickly where he had sacrificed two important competitions this season ^{[Champions League & Copa Del Rey].} Barcelona have been in good form since Adama and Aubameyang were signed in January, it has fueled the team's spirit to win match. But we will know if they are really good when they play in El-Clasico on March 20, we will know the answer later. Now Barcelona's focus is on the Europa League round of 16 against Galatasaray.

Is Atlético out of the crisis? I hope not - I would like to see United continue their performance in the Champions League.

I also don't think so, the crisis is still happening to them and I really doubt their chances of qualifying for the next round of the Champions League against Manchester United.

They are in good position with recent very good results but they over expect on Barcelona. They are in transitional time with many young players and support from old players. Xavi and some new comers in winter transfer do help Barcelona to improve their performance and position on the table. But please let them be and don't kill them with your over expectation.

Barcelona can set their high target in Europa League but in La Liga, it is unrealistic to think they will be able to catch Real Madrid. Ending this season with a third position is already a big achievement for them. In best ending, they can take over the second position from Sevilla but with 11 matches left, they won't be able to catch and surpass Real Madrid.

But in fact whatever we say here means nothing to any team, whether it's support him or hate him. We only talk about them here without being able to influence anything, maybe just predictions and hopes if we are fans but realize that it means nothing.

I also don't think it's realistic to expect Real Madrid to lose nothing in the next 11 match because you might still see them failing to win a match even though they are favorites this season for the title. Barcelona have 12 match left this season in the league and I'm sure they can't win all of these games either. Even if they are able, Real Madrid will also win the title with a point advantage.

Thinking about qualifying for the Champions League next season is a more realistic target for Barcelona at the moment than thinking about how to win the LaLiga title in the next 12 match. It is unreasonable to expect Real Madrid to lose or end up with more draws for the remainder of the season, but Barcelona still have to win their match and maintain their form.

No surprise! Real Madrid is on the way to the La Liga Championship. Starting with 0:1 after 10 minutes , at the end it was a strong 4:1 win and now 8 points ahead of 2nd place. The next matchday in the league is against RCD Mallorca, so an easy game. Between is the Champions League and Paris St. Germain (this Wednesday). Paris won the first leg 1-0, so they have to play to win with massive offensive tactics.

Comeback with 4 goals ensure they are still kings in La Liga at this time. even with this win I think Sevilla's chance to at least make the hunt more exciting is now closed.
The difference of 8 points in the remaining matches at this time I think it will be very difficult for other teams to overtake.
I'm 90% sure Madrid will stand at the top and be champions by more than 6 points difference now

Actually, Barcelona's position, which is currently in third place, can still go up to 2nd in the reasonable category.  Because there are 10 more games that are still on the waiting list.  If Barcelona is able to win 8 of 10 matches, I believe the difference in points against Sevilla can still be pursued on the condition that Sevilla can only perform like this.

True, the difference between Sevilla and Barcelona is only 7 points now but Barcelona still have 1 game left there which makes this if it can be maximized properly means the difference is only 3 points for them.
The difference is only a little with 10-11 games remaining, of course the chances are still high. Moreover, Sevilla's current performance is not good enough in my opinion and actually I'm pretty sure they can reach 2nd place at the end of the season.

[Ebede]

Same people that criticized Xavi Hernandez and Barcelona at the start of he's appointment as Coach of Barcelona are now appluading the team.
The in's during the transfer window helped transformation of the teams mentality.
I'm so impressed with how they have come now, the top four is quite sure for them also is the Europa league.

[ReiMomo]

Real Madrid keeps adding its wins on the table. Its far away from the 2nd place setting up its record and challenging the 2nd place to reach it. Yesterday's match against Real Sociedad was really awesome with 4:1 and likewise, Atletico Madrid match agasint Real Betis with 3:1 and is at 4th place. Madrids are e awesome. Hope Barcelona holds the 3rd place much firm winning its upcoming match against Osasuna.

[Tumanggor]

I won't miss today's match (bilbao vs levante)

levante will try hard to win and be free from the relegation zone while bilbao will definitely try to win to be able to continue playing in the european league next season

head to head both was dominated by the victory of bilbao, my bet choice in this match is bilbao

Levante has been good in the last three matches with even high scores. Their previous match against Elche was awesome with 3:0. Morals, Frutos and Melero have played so well scoring a goal each. Even when looking at the match played against Atletico Madrid, Levante own the match with 1:0. So its not going to be easy win for Athletic Club. Though Levante is at the last position in the table with just 3 wins, its going to challenge Athletic Club.

Atletico, well done, I was very interested in how they could play with Betis, who now looks very strong. A very important victory, because they were able to overtake Betis in the standings and enter the Champions League zone. Betis played very well in attack, but the defense failed to cope with Atletico. If they manage to play with Manchester United in the same way, then they will have a great chance of winning.

[kro55]

the two teams can still be in second place

Barcelona still has a chance to 2nd place because has 1 game didn't play yet. while Atletico was complete. the scenario, when Barca plays the whole game and won, they have 51 points, and only have 4 different points with Sevilla. but for sure both are still in the Champion League zone when still keep the performance until the last session. so what they can do now is keep aligning with the Xavi scheme, they are together with each other, which I can see in 2nd half versus Elche after Xavi rotate the player Torres and Depay.

Now Barcelona is a more consistent team than Sevilla. Sevilla's team forward is not strong enough. They have trouble winning against strong teams. On the other hand, Barcelona is now a stable team in all respects. Forward's players are strong enough and consistently they are scoring goals. So Barcelona is more likely to go to the second place in the table. And Atletico Madrid will probably be able to occupy the third place in the table.

If we look at the current conditions, Barcelona's performance is much better than Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, where from their last 6 matches, they managed to win 5 times and only drew once. I think Xavi brought positive changes in Barcelona and most likely he will be able to maintain the consistency of Barcelona until the end of the season. So I predict, Barcelona will show their comeback and they will win 2nd place in La Liga because Sevilla is in bad shape and I'm not sure if Sevilla will be able to return to their best form.

Sevilla will play against teams such as Real Sociedad, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in their upcoming matches. If they can win two of these three matches, I think they will be second in the table. But I think they will lose against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico Madrid's performance is improving. And Barcelona is already getting stronger.

Jaoa Felix has turned Athletico Madrid's super star, he's been scoring for some time now, he scored a beautiful goal in the Manchester United game.
They won three goals to one, and jaoa felix score twice an early goal and a lead goal on the sixty first minutes.
Real Madrid are also doing well, they should be Champions at the end of the season.

Real Madrid are presently keeping 8 clear points gap from Sevilla. While, Sevilla drew last weekend against Alaves, and shared point with their host. It seems something is wrong with Sevilla's squad, they draw against a weak team, and hardly score more that 2 goals in their matches.

Barcelona performance lately are mind blowing, so far they haven't lose in any of their last 9 La Liga matches. However, Atletico Madrid and them are currently keeping the same points (48). Which is the most important reason why they really have to win against Osasuna, so as to maintain been in the 3rd position.

[Velvet78]

It was an amazing performance by Real Madrid in the Real Sociedad game really. They didn't give any chance to their opponent after they conceded a penalty goal first. Real Madrid's solid performance impressed me very much and I would like to see them keeping it up. This is going to be really crucial for their title chance now. They are already eight points ahead of the second-placed team which are Sevilla though. But they would like to increase the gap more with them and secure their championship as early as possible.

[izsara]

Bilbao's Kick Off against Levante is about to start.
Bilbao don't seem to want this to be another loss as it was in the previous week when they were beaten by Barcelona by a striking scoreline. They are playing in their usual formation with 2 strikers as their focus now but it is a shame that Garcia is not present in their starter and prefers to rest the player.

I think it will be exciting because Levante are currently experiencing a pretty good upward trend from their last 3 matches.

Real Madrid is a good team that always delivers, there performance was really great. They dominated the game that it was so hard for the ball to last in Sevilla players leg, I already know that Real Madrid will have advantage of Sevilla. Real Madrid performance was impressive and very interesting.

[dwminer1]

In the game Athletic Bilbao - Levante I do not expect a surprise and I bet on the victory of the hosts. Levante is one of the weakest teams in the league and will have big problems staying in the Primera Division. And Athletic Bilbao, especially on their pitch, is a dangerous team for any opponent. Any result other than the Basque victory will be a big surprise for me.

[ShowOff]

Which is the most important reason why they really have to win against Osasuna, so as to maintain been in the 3rd position.

Atlético Madrid and Barcelona will have easy matches this week. Atletico Madrid vs Cadiz, Barcelona vs Osasuna. Both of them may maximize their chances to get full points but there is still a chance of a draw if Cadiz and Osasuna play defensively.

Barcelona have one posponed match at the moment and if they win then they will be a bit safer than Atletico Madrid who currently have the same points. Before the match against Osasuna, Barcelona had to play the first leg of the Europa League against Galatasaray. If Barcelona win, then this will make them even more motivated to win more games in the future.

[Distraction]

I waited for a draw in the Betis - Atletico Madrid match but Atletico Madrid surprised me by winning it 3-1. Actually they didn't find too many chances to score. They were just great at benefiting from their goal chances. They got 8 shots and 6 of them were on target. Betis didn't have a very good second half to be honest. And this result caused them to lose two positions in the standings. But this still doesn't change the fact that they are one of the attention getting teams of this season though.
