La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[logfiles]

Three losses at home in a row! Wow!

I thought Barcelona folks said they were "back" when they beat Real Madrid. What happened?
Have teams finally figured out how to choke Xavi?

I am glad I watched the match and loved the resilience of the Rayo Vallencano players. By the way, Rayo Vallencano has beaten Barcelona home and away this season.

[retreat]

I don't think we can blame the whole team for the result of this match. It's a bit hard for me to say that strikers are terrible because they tried. Barcelona had everything to win this match apart from efficiency. Admittedly, the Rayo defense did their job brilliantly. I don't know if it's a mental burden or just bad luck, but I hope they will win in the next match, because I don't want throw the next bet slip to the bin.

my unlucky thing today was placing a bet for barca, it's really crazy when a team like rayo beat barca and the goal was scored so fast it was in the 7th minute which was made by rivera. I agree with you, barca is very unlucky today.

[YinShuiSiYuan]

Today, Barcelona will spoil bet slips for many people again.
I really didn't expect that at this point in the season they would allow themselves one more defeat. It really is a shame not to score with a 70% of ball possession.

But it's good for me and it made me some gains with AC Milan and Marseille winning total bet 21. That's why I feel lucky tonight. The coming days will be better for a bet on Real Madrid against the city, so be on time!!

I have to admit that a bold bet, mainly when it comes to the Barcelona - Rayo Vallecano game. Or maybe I had the wrong impression that Barcelona is the favorite in this match. Anyway, congratulations on such a nice rollover. It will definitely be used in a nice way

As for Real Madrid, I also think that it can handle the City

[snipie]

Someone please call the boys in internet administration to fix the score of Barcelona in all websites since it appears that they switched it with Rayo one! (/joke, Karen mode activated)
Barcelona 0-1 Rayo Vallecano... Another disappointment in another league (Serie A results were bad too), can't believe they failed in this game
Real Madrid could be congratulated tho since they only need 1 point to be officially declared champions (or wait for another Barca failure )

[Velvet78]

Barcelona didn't show a bad performance actually. It was like they had everything under control during the whole game. But the final score wasn't in favour of them I'm afraid. Vallecano didn't deserve this win at all by performing like this. But I understand them too as they played against one of the biggest teams of the league in the end. It wouldn't be realistic to wait for them to play an attacking football. They somehow won this game by 1-0 away. Barcelona haven't been doing well recently but I hope they improve their effort in the remaining games.

[rby]

Something is wrong with barcelona recently their performance is unstable and they lost 2 of their last three  games and they were heavily favourites on both of them especially when these game were at home, true that today they didn't deserve to lose but still missing so many goal chances is unacceptable for a team like barcelona.

Barcelona started doing well recently and everyone was impressed by their performance and they were also tipped as favourites to lift the Europa League. But obviously the result they got in the past 3 matches was not what is expected from them. Though I do not expect much from Barcelona, I only expected them to make the top 4 but they did more wonders that what I expected but at the ending time they started losing momentum. They should please try and regain their place so that this poor form will not affect them by next season

It was a unexpected results, no one believes it can happen but that's football for you is either you win or lose, sometimes it's unpredictable. The results we saw today wasn't expected, we expected a win from Barca, and it never goes as plan. Though Barcelona played so well gained the possession but there attack wasn't able to break rayo's defense, they did a nice job, I think they are unlucky in the game they need to work on their play, we need to see a improvement in the next match.

[bitgov]

So it can be said that today Barcelona has confirmed that Real Madrid is the champion of this season in La Liga.
I wonder if with such a predisposition they will be able to stay in second position, because what they showed today does not give much hope for it. One thing is for sure, I am not betting on Barcelona's win in the next match!

[Yogee]

.....
After all, This isn't beyond surprise though, way before Barcelona's Cadiz defeats, Xavi has said goodbye to La Liga.

I got confused with your last sentence. I thought he would resign as Barca coach and leave La Liga. Was it way before or after? I couldn't find an article about him giving up the title before losing to Cadiz. If you mean after then I would agree with him that it was practically impossible to catch Real Madrid at that point.

[lulumiya]

Barcelona's loss against Vallecano was a really unexpected one for me. I was hoping for seeing a solid win by Barcelona here. Maybe their performance was good enough to do that but somehow they couldn't score any. I wonder what was the reason there. Maybe they were too unlucky today I don't know. But on the other hand, Barcelona are still maintaining the second place in the league table too. They just missed the chance to make the gap grow bigger with Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.

It's not that Xavi will leave Barcelona or La Liga. He meant that after losing with Cadzi, Xavi already knew that he could forget that he would be able to win the La Liga championship. Unfortunately, but after losing today, it is possible that he also said goodbye to the second position in La Liga.

Barcelona's loss against Vallecano was a really unexpected one for me.

I am wondering what's problem and what's wrong with Barcelona?
why did they play in such progress?
actually they could own very great ball possession, but something wrong with the execution, not effective. how can from 18 shots, none was a goal. omg. Xavi must evaluate the matches better and harder again because the lossses are in sequences

It seems that many people were surprised to see Barcelona defeated by Rayo, we all know Rayo is not a strong team and also their
performance is inconsistent. But how did they beat Barcelona, it's true that football always has surprises. It looks like Barcelona repeated the same
mistake when they lost to Cadiz, it looks like Xavi really has to find out the cause of this bad result. Twice at home against a weak team, Barcelona
have lost. Even though Barcelona created quite a few chances, but none of these opportunities could be a goal.

Actually the defeat against Rayo did not affect the position of Barcelona, because now Barcelona is still in second place with the same points with
Sevilla. But if they are not careful Barcelona can be displaced by Sevilla or Atletico, Xavi must immediately improve Barcelona's performance.
To be honest, I noticed that since Barcelona were eliminated from the Europa League, Barcelona's performance has continued to decline.
Even the previous game against Real Sociedad, I saw Barcelona's performance was not good. So Xavi must try to return Barcelona to their best
form, especially since La Liga only has 5 games left. So Barcelona will have to win their remaining 5 matches to ensure they stay in second place.

There are many surprises in football, but it is rare that a contender for the league championship loses at home to a much weaker team, apart from the fact that it is such an important moment as the end of the season. In my opinion, this cannot be called a surprise anymore. Definitely Xavi has a big problem right now and I really have no idea what he's going to do.

Of course, people are surprised by Barcelona. We never expected that Barcelona will experience 2 defeats, especially when they are playing at home. The current performance of Barcelona is very different from their performance in the last few weeks. The change in Barcelona game is too quick, after they were eliminated in Europa League, they seems to play with no motivation. We must predict that Barcelona will play perfectly under Xavi's management, he is a great coach and motivator. But seeing these 2 defeats at home, we realize that Xavi isn't as ideal as we think for Barcelona coach.

The point is not only that Xavi as the head coach of the team is not ideal, but also that Barcelona itself is not ideal. Nevertheless, Barcelona fans should thank Xavi for bringing the team to the leaders and giving them hope when everyone thought that the season was a failure. Rayo Vallecano is playing super-well with Barcelona this season and is already winning the second championship over this rival, although he has not won in Barcelona for 22 years before. By the way, it is worth recalling that the victory of Rayo Vallecano over Barcelona in the first round led to the resignation of Ronald Koeman from the post of head coach of the team.

So what was it? Missing matches shouldn't be seen as guaranteed 3 points. Those who think that Barcelona will win this match somehow were wrong. Teams cannot get 3 points before the match ends. Like everyone else, I expected Barcelona to win this match, but when they don't score, there's not much left to do. If the difference in points with Real Madrid was not so high, I'm sure they would've been more motivated and played more effectively. Now Real Madrid can officially celebrate the title.

Do you want to say that the result of the match was known even before its start, and Barcelona has forgotten that it can still fight for the title of league champion after defeating with Cadiz?
You might think so, but why lose matches with weak teams? Fighting with stronger teams will cost them much more.

I won't surprise, this is like what I guessed before if Barcelona will get into trouble to facing Rayo. It's the same as what they did 2 weeks ago when lost versus Cadiz. But it's not the problem, the points are still far away from Betis ( 6 points left), and they are still safe in the Champions League zone. And I hope they fix it when versus Mallorca ( I will bet for Barce for this time) when they lost again in the home, I believe they have a problem with supporters.

I mean after the Cadiz defeat. Though yea, the last sentence is confusing for others, I should have explained it better

Anyway, here is the press conference when he said that: Xavi admits Barcelona can 'say goodbye' to La Liga title after 'unacceptable' loss to Cadiz
