La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Fara Chan]

Atletico Madrid were not weak opponents. Also, at the home, Atlético Madrid is always strong. Even then, Carlo Ancelotti took the risk. And he rested Benzema and put his faith in the younger players. And the young players did not disappoint Ancelotti. They managed to earn full points. Real Madrid won 2-1 with goals from Rodrygo and Valverde despite Vinicius not scoring.

Benzema suffered a knee injury against Celtic, that's why Ancelotti didn't play Benzema in that game, Atletico Madrid played too defensively and actually they managed to close the space for Real Madrid, but unfortunately the second goal scored by Federico Valverde put Atletico off balance.
Atlético Madrid tried several times to counter-attack, but Real Madrid's defense was very good in the match.

Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid earned Diego Simeone praise for his opponent's defensive performance as Atletico chased down a goal from Madrid.

In the second half Real Madrid played defensively to secure the points, and Atletico Madrid came close to equalizing.
However, because Real Madrid's defense was so tight, chances to score did not occur for Atletico.

Carlo Ancelotti seems to have managed to get the players to learn one important thing in playing, namely they don't have to be the best to win, all they need to do is take advantage of the limited opportunities that are given to them by taking the slightest opportunity to score. Real Madrid have played modestly and adapted to their opponent's style so far.

What I saw in that game, the collective power can have an impact on the club. Real Madrid proved that without world-class stars they can play amazingly and compactly with each other, Ancelotti knows very well the placement of players they need in every game, so until week six they were unbeaten

Yes, the two teams are doing well in this season but I don't think Real Madrid can win this La Liga league title this season, because Barcelona has been impacted with many skills that will help them to defeat any strong teams in this season. Lewandowski has proven to their fans that he can handle his position very well to ensure the team achieve many goals in this tournament that will make them to achieve victory at the end of this tournament. I don't think, Real Madrid can still demonstrate like the way they demonstrated last season that made them to remain unbeatable, because their strikers are seriously lacking goals in this season.

Barcelona match this week seems to have ended and will continue again next month which will occur on the 2nd of October, this is a good opportunity for Barcelona to take a short break to make the body lighter again, Next month's match starts with against mallorca where it is a good chance to get a winning point for barcelona.

Aurelien Tchouameni and Antonio Rudiger are players who have just signed for Real Madrid in the transfer market early last season. Real Madrid movement in the transfer market is not as busy as Barcelona, because Ancelotti is very satisfied with the quality of the squad that Real Madrid already has. Ancelotti optimism in Real Madrid players is not without reason, Ancelotti wants to try to repeat the success achieved last season with the same squad. Real Madrid's journey has also been very good this season, Ancelotti managed to bring Madrid to the highest rank in the La Liga standings.
Barcelona has shown a lot of improvement after bringing in several new players, now Barcelona will again give competition to Real Madrid to compete to lift the La Liga trophy this season.

Real madrid squad players are one of the best squad in Laliga with the combination of experience and young players. That's how Carlo Ancelotti operates his club, he knows the perfect players for replacement. Bringing in Anthonio Rudiger and Aurelian Tchouameni, the defensive machines and these players would be supporting the team defensively, leaving Luka Modric to do the accurate passes and assists to the Frontlines. I so much like his formation and style of games, they will hardly lose games if they continue like this till the end of the season.

Everything still remain unpredictable even barcelona or real madrid were winning the battle. Im sure that both will be playing use all of its performance during el classico.  This time barcelona and real madrid are on top positions. That will make the competition to get the full points will be so strict. Barcelona was also facing problem during the champion league. this will give more pressure compared with real madrid. Barcelona must win against real

Only two points adrift, but it is difficult to overtake the rankings of real madrid. So far only Real Madrid have remained consistent and continue their unbeaten run of six matches in La Liga, Madrid are in a very positive trend even though in three Madrid matches without the presence of Karim Benzema as Los Blancos' goal machine.

As well as barcelona, ​​from six matches in La Liga barcelona only got one draw during the opening match against rayo. well, we will always look forward to the El Clasico match later. both teams have the potential to beat each other, this match is the hottest match after the madrid derby. maybe, this match will change the standings or madrid will step forward to leave Barcelona.

Yes, the two teams are doing well in this season but I don't think Real Madrid can win this La Liga league title this season, because Barcelona has been impacted with many skills that will help them to defeat any strong teams in this season.

I don't think, Real Madrid can still demonstrate like the way they demonstrated last season that made them to remain unbeatable, because their strikers are seriously lacking goals in this season.

Compared to the performance between Barcelona and Real Madrid i think it's almost equal even Madrid has slightly better because they can get 9 consecutive wins in all competitions and i have to say for race title both of team have equal chance to win the trophy indeed Xavi has been changed Barcelona far to better than last season but Madrid too quite stable under Ancelotti they weren't necessary to get more players but their new players can adapt quickly even now Madrid not only rely on Benzema for each matches but they still can able to win so for this season for race title we might to see between Barcelona and Madrid only

[Docnaster]

Barcelona and Real Madrid are the two most serious contenders to the Lalliga tittle this season,and Real Madrid even without not signing several players during the last transfer window,they still remain the best team in the Lalliga and also want to retain their tittle despite Barcelona's form this season.Lewandowski of Barcelona have been so consistent in scoring and has pushed them to the position they are in the league table.Mean while,Benzema has not been too consistent this season since the arrival of Lewa,and so far,it's only the Barca man that has been making waves with his goals this season.

Yes, the two teams are doing well in this season but I don't think Real Madrid can win this La Liga league title this season, because Barcelona has been impacted with many skills that will help them to defeat any strong teams in this season.

I don't think, Real Madrid can still demonstrate like the way they demonstrated last season that made them to remain unbeatable, because their strikers are seriously lacking goals in this season.

Really Madrid should not  be counted out of the Laliga championship. You said it that last season Real Madrid lacked good form and they ended up grabbing the title and also clinching the champions league title. If Real can break all odds last season they were not inform from the start of the season, how about this season that they are better?
I feel Real Madrid will still win the Laliga but it won't be easy because Barcelona is well prepared for the title. In all, the outcome of El Clasico will go a long way to decide

I think some people got way over their heads after Barcelona have some wins recently with its new lineup, Lewandowski, and media sensation news. They think Barcelona is untouchable now even tho Real Madrid is also strong in the La Liga this season. Tho I root for Barcelona cause of the way Xavi coach doing things to improve Barcelona, I still think the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid is even for both. Yes, Real Madrid's scoring ability is better than Barcelona but Barcelona's defense is better than Real.

[Jody.Drummer]

In my opinion Barcelona is no longer a club worth considering, but has turned into Real Madrid's biggest challenger for the title. 2 points is not a difference that is too much of a problem for Barcelona, moreover they will still meet him in a match titled El Clasico. The stakes, if Barcelona can beat Real Madrid in the first leg of El Clasico, they will immediately shift the position of Real Madrid, as well as increase their chances of winning the title.

Barcelona can beat Madrid but it won't be easy for Barcelona for this to happen, is either Barcelona win the match or it will end up in  a draw but the game will be tough for both team.  Real Madrid knows right now Barcelona is only the challenger thet have in laliga. Why I feel Barcelona can win Real Madrid because Lewandowski Barcelona is having.

We can't just focus on one player in this case. I believe that Lewandowski is one of the very good players and until now he is still doing well in his form but this is a game with the whole team so even if Lewandowski plays very well but when the movement is midfield and he is heavily guarded like when Barcelona faced Bayern this obviously still very difficult for them.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are powerful this season and you could expect everything until the last round imo this time. What will make the difference is el classico between these two clubs! 16 October will be the first face to face.
Lewandowski is surely one of the worst nightmares for every Barca opponent but he isn't the only one scoring there which makes Barca more threatening.

This is definitely going to be one of those games with prestige terms and I still feel the current mood will be very different when compared to Elcasico the previous season.
Lewandowski is a deadly figure and Barcelona are quite strong but this is still a Fifty-Fifty because indeed Madrid cannot be underestimated and this will be a Lewandowski and Benzema fight on the other hand this could also be a battle between Raphinha and Vini on the wings .

Atletico Madrid 1 - 2 Real Madrid, at first I didn't think that Real Madrid could win against Atletico, I thought so because at the moment Real Madrid don't have Benzema in their squad because of his injury. But they proved themselves that they too can perform well even without Benzema. Rodrygo as replacing Benzema's role also performed quite well with 1 goal he made at the beginning of the match.

Even though I lost my bet by betting on Atletico winning, but overall I really enjoyed this match. With this result also Atletico dropped to 7th place in the La Liga standings, hopefully they will be better in the next matches.

Then tell me please, how did they win all the other games without Benzema if you say that they can't usually win without Benzema? Your analysis seems to lack validity, doesn't it?

It is a fact that despite Benzema was missing, Real Madrid was brutally efficient once more against Atletico Madrid. They had less possession, 1:8 corners and only three shots on target and guess what, of those three they scored two (without Benzema). They are fine without him and even when he comes back it remains to be seen whether he can seamlessly continue scoring as he used to in the recent past.

I would agree more if the OP said that Real Madrid struggled to score in Benzema's absence. This seems more appropriate, because if we look at last season, Real Madrid did lose their sharpness when they were not reinforced by Benzema. I wouldn't say they are always winless, but it's hard to score goals.
And in this match, Rodrigo's role as a substitute for Benzema worked well.

You could also argue that last year was an extraordinary year for Benzema as well. Taking last season and saying that that is the Real Madrid with Benzema goes a bit too far. He has always been a good striker and there is no discussion about that, but do you think he would ever be able to repeat such a season? Last season the Benzema we got to see was the best Benzema ever and it couldn't even be expected that he does it again the same way for another season.

That's the difference between him and players who play on that level for several years in a row. Nonetheless he does deserve to be rewarded for that season of course. I would have been surprised though if he started the same way again and scores in all competitions nonstop.

Everything still remain unpredictable even barcelona or real madrid were winning the battle. Im sure that both will be playing use all of its performance during el classico.  This time barcelona and real madrid are on top positions. That will make the competition to get the full points will be so strict. Barcelona was also facing problem during the champion league. this will give more pressure compared with real madrid. Barcelona must win against real

in the Champions League, Barca along with 2 other strong teams, Inter and Munich. Of course, it will not be easy for Barca to dominate the group.
but in La Liga, I think Barca has a big chance to beat Madrid. if Xavi wants to focus on a certain target, I think the La Liga trophy is his best target at the moment.
we can't think too big, because, at the moment, the competition with teams that were not favorites last season is quite big. lots of surprises happened.

Real madrid actually continue to appear surprising. sometimes they don't seem to dominate in a match but in the end they always win. but whether it can be done against barcelona. I think it will be difficult for real madrid to beat barcelona who are at their best. so the possibility of victory is much greater for Barcelona. but I dare not predict for this 2 team match.

Well...yea...that's Real Madrid style and always has been like that. They were never a team to make constantly great games but they are a team that rarely losing so that makes them winners. Regarding Real vs Barca..I still believe that Real has an advantage over them and they should be favorites in El Classico but until 16th of October, we shall wait and see how they will perform.

Real remain the favorites yeah but since the coming of Lewandoski at Barca everything has turned out for the better well except the Champions League lost game against Bayern Munchen which is the former team of Lewandoski.I have seen a couple of games in La Liga from Barca and honestly I never believed that they would play this well with the group that they have yet at their disposal,they have surprised me and I believe many others for the better so despite Real being the favorite on 16th of October I also think that Barca has its won chances to win this El Classico.

The match on October 16 is Real Madrid's home match. And they have won all the matches this season. Not only that, they have been able to continue their winning streak in the Champions League as well. Real Madrid players are in great form. And so despite Barcelona having plenty of star players, they lag behind Real Madrid. I think the upcoming El Clasico will be very competitive. I am looking forward to seeing the performance of Benzema and Lewandowski in this match. Because the result of the match will largely depend on the performance of these two players.

By the way, what is Barcelona lag behind?
Winning streak, as they received a draw in the first week of La Liga. In fact, Madrid's extraordinary performance was not able to embarrass Barcelona when they visit to Allegiant Stadium. Even though it was only a friendly match, it look serious, because Barcelona came out with their new squad, and Madrid play with the main squad. Only Benzema was not there, but Vinicius, Valverde, Rodrygo and others were Ancelotti's favorite teams, including when they win the UCL trophy, these names were also decisive for Madrid's success at that time.

Real madrid actually continue to appear surprising. sometimes they don't seem to dominate in a match but in the end they always win. but whether it can be done against barcelona.

It is the champions level of Real Madrid. They don't need to always play at their best to win. Even in match they just play at average level, they can still win with one or two moments from star players. Just two goals from Rodrygo and Valverde, they won Atletico Madrid.

I think it will be difficult for real madrid to beat barcelona who are at their best. so the possibility of victory is much greater for Barcelona. but I dare not predict for this 2 team match.

It is not realistic to say Barcelona can win Real Madrid. They have good form but it is not enough if you consider the last season when Real Madrid passed through lot of strong teams in Champions League. Barcelona currently is not too strong and not at top clubs in Champions League.

The injury of Benzema will be a minus point for Real Madrid but they have other players who can shine.

Barcelona have a quality squad in every line which makes them strong enough to face their opponents in La Liga. But not in the UCL they seem to lose concentration when they have to face a big team from another league, none other than when they lost to Bayern Munich 2-0. compared to Real Madrid they are able to carry out their duties perfectly both in the domestic league and in the UCL. Now the competition between these two teams in the laliga is getting more and more exciting, where the distance between the two points is quite close and one of the matches that we are interested in waiting for is the El Clasico match.

I think it will be difficult for real madrid to beat barcelona who are at their best. so the possibility of victory is much greater for Barcelona. but I dare not predict for this 2 team match.

The positive value that Real Madrid players have because they can take advantage of opportunities to turn them into goals, one example is when Real Madrid travel to the Wanda Metropolitano. Although Atletico dominated the match in terms of possession and shots on target, Real Madrid were able to score two goals from 3 good chances.
A different atmosphere will be presented in El Clasico, Real Madrid will have difficulty when facing Barcelona because Xavi Hernandez team is also in the best form in La Liga. Now Real Madrid and Barcelona are only two point adrift in the standings, these two teams will try to give their best to beat each other. It is difficult to predict who will win the match because both teams have almost the same squad quality.

[naira]

Barcelona match this week seems to have ended and will continue again next month which will occur on the 2nd of October, this is a good opportunity for Barcelona to take a short break to make the body lighter again, Next month's match starts with against mallorca where it is a good chance to get a winning point for barcelona.

With Barcelona current position in La Liga, they can still show improvement. Against Mallorca also can not be underestimated. At least really put it to good use with a lot of points. Currently, Mallorca is also struggling to prove that they can provide resistance to a club as big as Barcelona. Besides that, Xavi, who has to compete with Ancelotti in collecting points, certainly should not be wasted. Even though Ancelotti's squad was without Benzema, who was injured, in fact Madrid performance was fine and able to perform brilliantly at the top.

[KTChampions]

When teams have a different number of games, the scoring should be done by points lost, not by points gained. Thus, Real Madrid has never lost its first place to anyone this season 
There are easy games ahead, and obviously we have to wait for October 16th when Real and Barcelona will find out who is stronger in a face-to-face meeting.

As Real Madrid has been performing consistently well, they don't seem to be able to be stopped by any team other than Barcelona. I would say all teams in La Liga are relatively weak this season except Barcelona and Real Madrid. Teams like Real Betis, Athletic Club and Osasuna are doing a bit better now, but their attacks are weaker than Madrid and Barca. And so I don't think these teams can defeat Real Madrid. Waiting for October 16. The team that can win on October 16 will probably be the champions of the La Liga.

This season the calendar is very difficult for the clubs, so I'm sure that both Real Madrid and Barcelona will lose a lot of points even if you do not take into account their head-to-head meetings. Barcelona have already lost points in the game with Rayo Vallecano and will lose more, it's just that such losses are impossible to predict compared to El Clasico, where it is clear that someone will definitely lose points.

[Jody.Drummer]

There are still 4 more games for the two clubs before Real Madrid and Barcelona meet. The games were in La Liga and the Champions League. The opponent that Barcelona will face is Inter Milan, it will drain their energy. Although Real Madrid have the same match, but against Real Madrid in the Champions League I see it is easier than Barcelona, that's an advantage I think is more in favor of Real Madrid. I believe Barcelona can recover in 2 days, but Real Madrid have a day longer than Barcelona, that is a second advantage for Ancelotti's squad.

Not only against Inter before the el clasico match because after the el clasico match, Barcelona had to play against Villarreal and it was not an easy opponent. So yes, this situation does make Real Madrid better but even so, Barcelona will certainly still play with its best players even though the risk is prone to injury. But if it's not like that then Barcelona must be ready to accept defeat by Real Madrid, but with Madrid's performance so far it looks like Madrid will not win by a big score if for example they win.

[Z-tight]

Benzema has not been too consistent this season since the arrival of Lewa,and so far,it's only the Barca man that has been making waves with his goals this season.

Lewandowski has scored more goals, but there is no inconsistency in Benzema's game this season, the two players aren't in any personal competition, i know football fans are trying to come up with comparisons, as they want to see which of the players will score the most goals, but this guys know what is more important, and it is for the team to win games, and titles. Benzema tries to help the team win all of the times he is available to play, the same thing with Lewandowski, and even if Benzema will be angry that he is injured now, he will be able to smile that the team is winning, even if Lewandowski is running clear of him in the golden boot battle, he will surely choose the title over the golden boot.
