La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[JeromeTash]

Real Madrid showed us today that they prepared well for this season by having a solid performance against Juventus. Maybe Barcelona are attracting most of the attention these days but we shouldn't overlook Real Madrid for the title also.

I still refuse to use friendlies as a basis to conclude that a team will perform so well or so poorly in the league. We have had past examples where teams have done so well or poorly in the friendlies only to perform differently in the league.
Last summer, Barcelona lost only 1 friendly game. Real Madrid did even win any game if I recall well, but we all know how things turned out in the league.

Real Madrid showed us today that they prepared well for this season by having a solid performance against Juventus. Maybe Barcelona are attracting most of the attention these days but we shouldn't overlook Real Madrid for the title also. They are the last champions already and they are still very strong and maybe even better. I just wish to follow a championship competition between them until the end of the season. Because when one of them opens the gap too much the league starts to be boring.

madrid is really amazing, if juve is able to draw with barca then not with Madrid. many speculated that this final result happened because of pogba's absence, but the good news is that juventus will bring in pjanic (to fill the vacancy in the potential midfield position).

Barcelona managed to beat Real Madrid some time ago, and recently the club made by Xavi was only satisfied with a draw when they met Juventus. Surprising to see Real Madrid beat Juventus with a score of 2-0 yesterday, Juventus don't even attack much into Madrid's defence, in contrast to when they met Barcelona they played with an attack priority. This proves that Real Madrid's defense is still strong enough even after Marcelo left.

Yeah Real Madrid is still strong in defense and attack, Carlo Ancelotti is still a coach who is smart in making strategy. Even though Barcelona played against Juventus with a draw but at least they haven't tasted loss, actually this friendly match has not proves anything because the serious event hasn't started yet.

More people need to realize that this friendly means nothing and they can't do any calculations based on this. Of course there will be some people who will want to, but that would be a wrong move.

Odds could change based on these, but not because providers thinks so, but because people wager heavily on one side and less on the other side which forces providers to change the odds to level the risk for them, since it would be them losing a lot of money based on what people wager if they do not change it then it would be taking on big risks. This is why I believe that we shouldn't be responsible for friendlies but when you are betting, you have to check each game as if that mattered.

How Real Madrid is ready for the season will be judged only after the official matches begin and the first rounds of the championship are held. Friendly matches are still more a way to play new combinations and look at the players of the nearest reserve, rather than trying to show the real level of the team, because in such matches usually no one will take much risk, especially the leaders, risking losing them due to injuries, so it's still worth making allowances for the exhibition nature of this match. Although, of course, any victory is pleasant and cheers up the players of the winning team, but I don't think that Juventus, for example, will be very worried about their defeat.

You're kidding, this has nothing to do with Pogba because when Barcelona played Juventus, Pogba didn't play there before lol.
Juventus tried something new and different from usual because they put 3 strikers up front which made their midfield weak in this match because they are not used to the 4-3-3 formation so this is indeed one of the things that Madrid have taken advantage of. can maximize the flow of the ball in midfield comfortably.

What's the point of friendlies if the coach doesn't try other tactics and test as many players as possible.. Result doesn't really matter in these games since the conditions are very different from real competitions.
Real Madrid will play vs Frankfurt in August 10, we will see how fit the club will be this season few days before the beginning of La Liga matches.

Real Madrid's performance against Juventus was very satisfying to me. It was a good rehearsal for the La Liga. Real Madrid didn't make so many changes in the team and they didn't need that much too. The current strength of the squad is way enough to fight for the league championship once again. This time they would have a more competitive run with Barcelona. Real Madrid are going on with Benzema this season too and I can't wait to see his performance again. He has been in a pretty good shape so far.

[Ahli38]

Barcelona is going great in friendlies and they look like they are ready for the new season. Ousmane Dembele has an incredible performance. It looks like Lewandowski and Dembele will carry the team's goal load. Raphinha and Memphis will also be helpful. If Ansu Fati also has a good season, Barcelona will be the number one contender for the championship. This season will be very different from last season. They had good signals about it. I'm very excited already and can't wait to see Rayo Vallecano game.

Barcelona seriousness in overhauling the team began to bear fruit, the cohesiveness of the team began to be seen in every friendly match. Barcelona attack line looks scary, Xavi has many options to fill the post on the front lines. Lewandowski and Aubameyang can switch positions as center forwards, Raphinha and Dembele can be relied on on the right wing, while for the left wing there are Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres. Xavi can also change his formation from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3 if needed, relying on Chistensen, Kounde and Ronald Araujo at the back. The 3-4-3 formation is more flexible with the composition of the squad that Barcelona currently has.

correctly. the composition of players in barcelona is really very good. even seeing the barcelona match made me a little surprised. because even the new players who were brought in were already able to adapt immediately. they play comfortably. and that makes Barcelona will be a team that will be seeded. it's not in vain that Barcelona spend a lot of money in the player transfer market this season. my appreciation for barcelona.

Barcelona's success in the transfer market is due to the genius of Xavi, I see it that way. For example, when Xavi said he needed Lewandowski in his squad, Barcelona tried hard to bring him in despite continuous rejection from Munich. Now Barcelona officials can breathe a sigh of relief because the players who are brought in can adapt to the team style of play. Xavi needs to bring in one more player to fill the post at right-back, and fortunately Xavi desire has again received a positive response from club officials. Now Barcelona is negotiating the signing of Azpilicueta from Chelsea.

What Barcelona FC have achieved is to create a lot of expectation and a lot of talk about them, as well as excitement among their fans, but I can't wait for the league to start and see how they do. Signings do not equate to results and if the gamble goes wrong, there will be profound changes in the structure of the club.

Of course anyone connected with Barcelona will be delighted with the team success in building their squad. The big change that occurred because the club officials really believed in Xavi quality as a coach, even though he still lacked experience in European competitions, but his genius could surprise this season. Barcelona's style of play immediately changed when Xavi took over from Koeman, he was also able to bring Barcelona to finish in second place. Now that Barcelona strength is increasing compared to last season, anyone will be waiting for Barcelona to start an official match with the strength it currently has.

Barcelona just want to be as competitive as possible in this season. Xavi has made significant transfers for doing this without looking at how much money they have spent so far. The team didn't want to prevent him from making any of these transfers even though they weren't good financially. After that poor run until Xavi came to the team, Barcelona need to make up for that season this time. I expect them to compete with Real Madrid at the same level in the standings unlike the last season.

Many people expect Barcelona to return to their best soon so we can see intense competition at the top of the standings. Because with Barcelona's poor appearance, Real Madrid's position is comfortable because there is no pressure at all. As a team now they look more ready, but we have to wait a little bit.

Xapi's genius will be proven when the real game of the season begins. However, seeing the results of the recent match did get a lot of comments and excitement from Barcelona fans. Even I, who is not a Barcelona fan, became interested and curious about Barcelona. and even now the news media is getting warm reporting about the progress and strength of barcelona which is considered very positive opening the opportunity to become the most seeded team.

Barcelona did a pretty good squad overhaul in this summer window. This can not be separated after Xavi was appointed as coach of Barcelona, ​​He did a pretty good job in his first season and also did a good job in the transfer window after bringing in some top players. in this pre-season session barcelona showed their strength to the public that they were really ready for next season with the results they got, I agree as you said where Barcelona will give a tough fight in the Laliga title race, Madrid may have to be wary of the rise of barcelona because it will there is a big threat if they don't make changes in the window this summer.

Since the arrival of Xavi as a replacement for Koeman, Barcelona's performance has been steadily increasing. After Xavi finished his first season well,
now entering his second season as Barcelona coach, Xavi really prepares Barcelona seriously. It is proven that Xavi has succeeded in bringing several
quality players to Barcelona. If we look at the Barcelona squad that is getting stronger and see the results of friendly matches that are quite satisfying.
It seems that Barcelona will become a serious threat to Real Madrid next season, the competition in La Liga next season will indeed be much more exciting.
Moreover, La Liga will start in about two weeks, so I can't wait for Barcelona's first appearance in La Liga against Rayo. But before La Liga starts Barcelona
will play in the Joan Gamper Trophy first, it will be a warm-up match for Barcelona.

Barcelona effort in signing good players will really help the club to achieve a lot when the season starts for sure. The most important thing in a club is to have good players and watch what the end result will be. The kind of players that Barcelona has I don't think things will be difficult for them as the season starts.

[tulusikhlas]

There are many hopes that La Liga will be increasingly fierce for the title race and the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid is the most expected to always be fierce until the end of the season, unlike last season, where Real Madrid easily won without any significant competition.
but for next season I have no doubt that the fierce competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid will occur after Barcelona have improved quite a lot and under the guidance of coach Xavi I believe they will be stronger, although to beat Real Madrid and become champions it is still not easy to predict but surely they will will give a tight fight for the title race.

I rule out talking about who will be the champion. The most important thing now is how the competition will run tight. Because I'm also a little disappointed if Barcelona win later but without a tough competition, as happened last season with Real Madrid. My focus for next season is the league has to be tight.

Maybe it was a friendly but I must admit that I really enjoyed Real Madrid's great performance against Juventus. They got a well-deserved win above all else. Juventus didn't even have any shot on target which was horrible for their side. Benzema scored and sent a message like he was ready for the official season. He is again going to be Real Madrid's most valuable card against their opponents in the La Liga. I hope that we can watch a nice competition for being the most scorer between him and Lewandowski.

Yes, it was a great victory to Real Madrid. Real Madrid really prove that they will still remain unbeatable in this season, because desperate the strategies Juventus players used from the friendly match, they didn't achieve any goal from the match. I think, Juventus coach need to work on their defense before normal competition will start  because Real Madrid strikers have access easily to achieved two goals from Juventus because their defenders are not well organized. Based on what I observed from Juventus strikers in the friendly match, showed that Juventus coach will get it right in this season because their strikers really have the confident to achieve goal from the match but Real Madrid defense was very strong for them to achieve goals.

There is still plenty of time for Juventus to improve on what was lacking in yesterday's friendly against Real Madrid. Their defense is still in the spotlight and still needs to improve if they meet a strong team like Real Madrid.
While Real Madrid were as usual, they had a well-organized game coupled with their defenders performing well.
