La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

After returning from a Champions League match against Bayern Munich, Barcelona are faced with a game against Elche. This is an opportunity for them to restore their morale after having to admit the superiority of Bayern Munich.
Elche is an opponent I think we can already predict who will win this match. 5 matches without a win and only tasted one draw, this will be a comfortable win for Barcelona.

They should have won. Elche is not a strong team, but Xavi should not underestimate them. I think the mentality of the Barcelona players is already good because they are used to winning or losing. So I think their mentality won't go down. Against Elche, Xavi had to play his best players.
I believe Lewandowski should return to the starting lineup again. Lewandowski will get better if he gets more used to the Barcelona players. Although his stats are pretty good, I think he hasn't been able to play his best. Other players should also be familiar with its characteristics.

Despite a good performance against Bayern, Barcelona was defeated. Even with a strong attack, Barcelona couldn't score any goals. Xavi definitely needs to work on strengthening his attacking lineup.

Playing good is not enough. Bayern is one of strongest teams in Champions League and if Barcelona can play equally with Bayern, they can play well with other top clubs. It means they have fair chance to compete with other strong clubs in the Europe. However, the defeat proves another fact that Barcelona is still under top clubs a little bit.

Football is unpredictable and because they can play equal games, sometimes they will lose and sometimes they will win. First, Xavi and Barcelona must pass through the group stage. Later on they can fight, wait for luck and surprising results.

Every player in the forward is talented, Xavi has to find the reason why they are not playing well. And I would say Xavi can experiment with his team in matches against weaker teams like Elche. He can arrange a new match strategy. These matches are very important to correct the weaknesses of the team. But first of all, Barcelona must secure 3 points in the match.

Xavi is not a coach who obsesses with tactics like Pep Guardiola. He is smart but he prioritizes stability and he does not want to make suddenly strange decisions and changes in squad. Pep Guardiola does it very often and sometimes, he even does it in important matches.

Elche is not a club that can bring lot of troubles to Barcelona and Xavi can use some alternative players for the match.

You can consider athletico madrid as weak not as tough as Real Madrid but that doesn't mean it will be easy for Real Madrid to defeat athletico madrid.  Athletico madrid is not a toy team, it is one of the team in laliga that Real Madrid can't just easily beat. It can even surprise you that athletico may play the game very tough what Real Madrid may realise at the end of the game will be a draw, Real Madrid still have a higher chance of winning the game.

Toy team 

I have never read anyone call Athletico Madrid as a toy team. You are so creative with words. 

It's a derby and two Madrids don't want to lose in a derby. In a bigger picture, they are competing for La Liga title, together with Barcelona. Therefore this match has a lot of meanings for them, a derby and a direct clash for La Liga trophy. 3 points from this match are similar to 6 points because a winner has 3 points and a loser lose 3 points. In addition, winner will destroy the mentality of the loser as well.

Lol..... Believe me this should be considered a joke. I can recall some year back when Diego Costa, Torres, Arda Turan all represented Athletico Madrid and Sergio Ramos, Lima Pepe and also Fabio Contrao, this are hard core player's who are always ready to be carded while fighting and playing in derby game's like this. I won't consider them a toy team never, two years ago they did win La Liga how quick do people forget about it ? They have also won Europa League in the last six or seven years.

It's all for bragging rights, even if they are both in them worst form of the season, once it's a tie between themselves, you'll see them buckling and tieing those laces firm to win at all cost. Some level of aggression I added to my gane was from Athletico Madrid. They defend tirelessly.

Elche will become an easy opponent for bacelona. Barcelona can win against elche easily. After lost from bayern and im sure that was giving a very bad impact to the team. Players need to do even more hardwork to fix their mistake. I hope that xavi aware about the disadvantage from its team. Elche will become a nice match for barcelona to train the new strategy. It seems like that the strategy that being used against bayern was not so effective. I just wanna tell you that if these days barcelona can lose against any big team.

Elche is not a commensurate opponent for Barcelona, being in 19th position is not a good achievement for Elche. While Barcelona, who just lost to Bayern Munich, will try to get a win from Elche, even though this match looks easy for Barcelona, Barcelona players need to improve their performances in order to beat Elche with a big score. Lewandowski, who missed scoring against Bayern Munich, will try to increase his goal coffers in order to move further away from the number of goals that have been obtained by other players in La Liga.

Given this game looks like it will be easy for Barcelona, I would like to see them rotate. Yes this could be an opportunity for Xavi to do that. Because things like this (rotating players) they will definitely feel given the tight schedule they will live. This could be an opportunity for them before it actually happens (in a state of urgency). So Xavi can gauge how prepared they are when faced with such a situation.

Barcelona lost to Bayern Munich but were not defeated in terms of football quality. Now it's time to change course to La Liga. In recent years, Real Madrid has gained an overwhelming advantage against Barcelona. Barcelona have to work hard this season to beat bad luck. Real Madrid looks very strong this year, so La Liga can be watched until the end this season.

This season the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona will look fiercer and tougher than last season and you can also find more differences in Barcelona this season than last season. Now Barcelona have to forget their defeat to Bayern Munich because in two days Barcelona will have to face a weak team in the relegation group, namely Elche who so far only has one point in the five matches that have been passed by Elche.

Haha, who thinks of Atletico as a toy team? and also, the derby match is not to fight for the title but to maintain the prestige to remain the best. Derby matches often occur where both teams are far in the standings but their match is still interesting because it is titled a derby, so the derby match is not about fighting for the title but only prestige. But regarding their current performance it is clear, Atletico are experiencing a decline in performance but in contrast to Real Madrid who are still consistent on the winning path. With a performance difference like this, Real Madrid still has a better chance, but that doesn't mean they think Atletico are a toy team.

I think that this game is going to be a very interesting game and no team should be considered less powerful than the other one as Madrid Madrid are always very competitive.
But I have to say that Real Madrid is the only team in Europe who hasn't lost a game yet and the Benzema and Vinicius junior duo is looking quite deadly.
But the unfortunate news is Karim Benzema is injured right now which could be a big plus point for Atletico Madrid and would be game deciding thing.

Barcelona's better performance this season compared to the previous season, of course, makes La Liga even more interesting. This means that
Real Madrid will not be easy to win the La Liga trophy this season, there will be a very fierce competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Indeed for now Real Madrid are at the top and are still 2 points ahead of Barcelona, ​​but the difference of 2 points cannot be said to be safe.
Moreover, there are still many matches to be played by Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, so anything is possible. Even though Barcelona
had a bad result against Bayern in the Champions League, I believe Barcelona will recover when they face Elche in La Liga. Moreover, Elche is
a weak team this season, which is in the relegation zone, even Elche until the 5th week of La Liga only get 1 point. This means that Elche will be
easily defeated by Barcelona, ​​besides that Barcelona certainly hopes that Real Madrid will lose points against Atletico.

[Z-tight]

I feel this is the weekend Barcelona will take top spot in the La Liga, the team that currently leads the league is real madrid and they are playing athletico madrid, diego simeone's team may not be in their best form, but this is a derby match with a lot of pride involved, and athletico madrid may come out really strong and put a stop to madrid's winning run, as the two teams square off in the derby, barcelona play the team that is 19th in the table and have lost four games, drawn one, conceded 13 and scored only two, surely barcelona will add to their misery, and go top if madrid don't win.

I agree with you. Real Madrid may be in very good form. But it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to win the away match against Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid will try to win, otherwise, they will try their best to share the points. The most important thing is that Real Madrid's main forward Karim Benzema is injured. He will be absent from the next match. So it will be very difficult for Rodrygo and Vini to score.

Xavi  Hernandez will rotate Barcelona player composition against with weakness team Elche on next match, I think not problem with Barcelona to win this time after defeating by Bayern Munich at UEFA Champion League match. Before have busy schedule match rotate need to make all player composition without get injury, but Elche is the opportunity for Barcelona settle first standing position place and hope on another rival match Atletico Madrid success defeated Real  Madrid on match derby. Different 2 points with Real Madrid on standing position I think next match become chance for Barcelona keep become competitive team for Madrid without losing many points.

Barcelona are very lucky to have two easy opponents now - Elche and then Mallorca ahead of the meeting with Inter. It is already obvious that it is Inter and Barcelona who will play for second place. If Barcelona even draw away from Inter, they will have a significant advantage. So far, Barcelona is on its easy side of the calendar.

[terrorJR]

Madrid will not fill to perform at their best this weekend which is something we are already used to, am sure there are up against smaller clubs such as Barcelona who may look unfit for real Madrid at the moment considering the level of Real Madrid's motivation right now.

Barcelona? Little club? You seem to be saying that nothing compares to Madrid now.
Even though in this case Madrid are still at the top of the table, their distance, especially with Barcelona, is still very close and it is not very suitable to say that as a small club especially their performance in La Liga is quite crazy right now.
Unless maybe you don't watch La Liga so you don't know what the standings are now lol

[BitcoinAccepted]

In principle, Barcelona is currently a smaller club than Real Madrid. And I can easily base that on the statistics. In the last 7 years, Real Madrid has won the Champions League no less than 4 times, and Barcelona not once. Those numbers say enough. The last championships were all for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid as well. This season, the differences have become somewhat smaller, but the question is how long Barcelona can keep this up. Real Madrid were pretty consistent throughout the season last season, and Barcelona wasn't.

If Barcelona even draw away from Inter, they will have a significant advantage. So far, Barcelona is on its easy side of the calendar.

It could indeed be an easy win back for them in La Liga while resting some of their core players to face Inter.
But indeed in this case I am serious about them especially regarding Lewa. Even though his role is quite vital but he should be rested more often because this is also good enough for him to stay fit for a big game because there are still some strikers who can be played for rotation.

That possibility can happen if Real Madrid lose the away match against Atletico Madrid. But I don't think Real madrid will have a hard time beating Atletico madrid because from what they put in at the start of the season I'm sure ancelotti squad will secure the 3 points against Atletico madrid. well luckily for barcelona because this week's opponent is a low-ranking team Elche where this match will also lead to victory for barcelona if we look at the quality of these two teams. barcelona so far have been quite impressive in Laliga with average wins with big scores.

Barcelona playing their next match in the la liga with Elche and hopefully winning should be more of a consolation to them after their defeat in the champions league by the superior team Bayern Munich. I had felt Barcelona would have a fighting chance in the game but lost to the superior team by 2 goals to nil. Lewandoski on the other hand came back to his former home ground and didn’t make a much of an impact as Barca failed to score a goal. I almost felt sorry for Barcelona as I sat and watched them chase the ball till the end of the game.

I do not think that they would feel that much upset about the Bayern game, I mean it is clear that they have been together for far too longer whereas Barcelona is a brand new team and so many fresh faces. Which is why I would guess that the game they care about is Inter, if they could beat Inter and be second then they could do much better.

Of course it is easier if they could just finish first and then end up facing the lower team on the next round but they should not be really worried about that neither, if they face a big name and lose, that means they would have lost further anyway so it is not going to be a big problem. League is the only thing that matters for this season, they should win it for or it would be a failure.

Atletico Madrid may not be able to stop Real Madrid in maintaining its unbeaten trend. I think a draw can represent my doubts as the final score of the match, but if I'm being honest then I think Real Madrid will win.

Now if Real Madrid draws, then of course Barcelona will take advantage of that opportunity to get full points in the match against Elche. I'm sure Barcelona will win, but on the other hand I'm not too sure about a bad result in the derby for Real Madrid. Barcelona played early, so Real Madrid should be highly motivated to take over the table again with a win if Barcelona win the match against Elche.
