La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Luqman]

It is true that Barcelona have managed to strengthen their squad this season, they have very talented and very experienced players in the squad now so it is expected that the team will play better and compete for all titles this season. The addition of Dembele, Raphinah and Lewandowski have improved the squad, boosting the attacking options and have transformed the team to a better goal scoring team.

Agree. But don't forget that they have a great coach, too.
Having talented players may not be effective if they have no good coach, it happened previously.

This season, Xavi as the coach, really changed Barcelona squad. He can choose proper players in the last transfer window, such as Lewandowski, Raphinha, or Kessie. These new players give a big impact on the squad. Barcelona attacking looks very sharp, and they have a solid defense as well. Sure, this team become one of the most productive teams in scoring this season.

It's true that Barcelona have impressed this season not only because they have a good squad, but Barcelona have Xavi who can make Barcelona
play very well and won many victories. It can be proven that Barcelona's appearance was much different when Barcelona was still coached by Koeman.
But when Xavi replaced Koeman slowly Barcelona's performance improved for the better. Even Barcelona's success this season is also thanks to
the support of Barcelona's management trying to bring in many good players that Xavi wants. But this is a heavy burden for Xavi, because if
Barcelona fail to win a trophy, then Xavi will be the first to blame. So Xavi had to make sure Barcelona appeared consistent at the end of the season.
Especially Xavi must make Barcelona appear even better in the Champions League, because Barcelona can still be defeated by Bayern
which is performing poorly in the Bundesliga. I hope Barcelona can beat Inter in the next match, to ensure Barcelona can qualify from the group stage
in the Champions League.

there is no doubting the ability of lewandowski and also benzema, both are goalscoring machines but benzema suffered an injury that prevented him from appearing in several matches, once he is fit the rivalry between the two will definitely continue but this time I believe lewandowski will be the one Top scorer in La Liga this season, Lewandowski is a great striker.

So far it is still superior to Lewandowski in terms of scoring goals because he is able to use more passes well. But the future is still uncertain, because there are other strikers who are equally productive in La Liga. Although at the moment there are not many strikers who can match the number of goals that have been scored by Lewandowski in La Liga.

Very much agree with you. We don't know if Lewandowski can maintain his good performance. This is just the early of the season, it is very possible that Lewandowski gets injured or gets difficulties in scoring in the next few matches. However, if we learn from Lewandowski's performance in the previous clubs, Lewandowski always could maintain his good performance until the end of the season, especially in the local league competition.

By the way, Lewandowski's competitors for the top scorers this season look quite easy. Most of them are only the strikers from weaker teams, seems difficult to maintain productivity in scoring for the whole season. Especially when their clubs are against big teams. I think Lewandowski is the only candidate to be the top scorer. IMO

but I really appreciate the endurance performance and skill of Robert Lewandowski. at the age that is not young anymore, he even looks better. even his accuracy in wild ball control is extraordinary. so he can always maximize every opportunity to become a goal. And even if Benzema is not injured, he will be a goal machine this season just like Lewandowski. but unfortunately he got injured. but I see potential in a young player like Vinicius Jurnior (Real Madrid). This young player is still developing. and I see great potential from this one player.

Benzema and Lewandowski when they were attacking players who had very good skills, these two were the key to victory in every match they played, at this time Benzema's body condition is not good because of the injury he suffered so that they could not perform optimally, therefore Benzema is still not able to get many goals, while Lewandowski has a good body condition and is full of stamina so it is easy for him to score goals.

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.

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.

Barcelona has won their last two away matches against Real Madrid. And in both matches Barcelona players dominated. Barcelona won 4-0 against Real Madrid in last season's away match. So even if the next match is Real Madrid's home match, Barcelona will definitely win if they play well.
But with Real Madrid's consistency now, they are very difficult to beat. Real Madrid played amazingly against Atletico Madrid in the last match. And so, the next match of Barcelona vs Real Madrid will definitely be competitive and enjoyable. So far the chances of both teams winning are 50-50.

I think this is when we will start by defining the difference between Benzema and Lewandowski.Benzema hasn't gotten many goals because Lewandowski has come with his dominant nature on the league.Lewandowski scores goals for fun while he was at Bayern,now he has come to Barca and his is scoring goals in almost all their outings this season.
This season,I think there is nothing Benzema to can do again to meet up Lewandowski's goals,so I think the golden boot will be for Lewa.

Real Madrid are just as good as last season. They drop few stitches. We had a hard time a few times in the 1st half, but the difference in strength in the 2nd half was significant again. And on top of that, Real Madrid have Benzema at their disposal, but on the other hand, Lewandowsky now plays for Barcelona. Then we could cross them off against each other. In principle, Real Madrid individually does not have a much stronger team, but they radiate more maturity. Barcelona has many young players like Gavi. Good players, but they still have a few things to learn. It will come down to details this season who will be champion. I don't even consider Atletico Madrid an outsider anymore.

Yes, Real Madrid performance are very good in this season that made many people to believed that they will still go far in this season like the way they did last season. I don't think, Real Madrid will Miss this La Liga league title this season because their strikers and midfielders are working hard to ensure they achieve victory from every match just to keep the winning going until they win the title. Many things has changed positively from Barcelona in this season since their coach brought in Lewandowski into the team things are working well.

Real Madrid has been a very consistent team this season. And consecutively they have won 8 matches in La Liga and Champions League. They are able to perform very stably. Moreover, without their key player Benzema, they have beaten strong opponents like Atletico Madrid. This proved that they are not only dependent on Benzema this season as in previous seasons. Their squad is in better shape than last season.
Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, has made several changes to their squad. They have recruited talented players like Lewandowski and Raphinha. Barcelona is now much stronger than before. However, they lost against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Xavi has yet to stabilize the team.

The addition of Dembele, Raphinah and Lewandowski have improved the squad, boosting the attacking options and have transformed the team to a better goal scoring team.

The arrival of several new players has helped Barcelona further develop in terms of quality, Barcelona transfer policy this summer has made Xavi job easier in determining the players who will fill the first squad. Having an attack line that contains Lewandowski, Dembele and Raphinha makes Barcelona front line to be respected, they have contributed very well through their goals that make Barcelona the most productive club in La Liga. The combination of Defenders, Midfielders and Strikers who are increasingly well connected, allows Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid this season.

[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.

Judging from the match schedule of the two teams, actually Madrid is quite favored because indeed in the matches they will run against Osasuna and Getafe in La Liga after that the hardest is Shakhtar in the Champions League but for Barcelona it is a little difficult even though in La Liga now only Mallorca and and Celta Vigo but for the Champions League it is clear that Inter are ready to meet them twice in the first and second matches after that Madrid and Villarreal who incidentally are Villarreal's dark horses even though they have a chance to be in Barcelona to fight Villarreal but it is clear they need rotation with all the tough matches this.

They have to choose now whether they will push the odds or indeed give Rotation in a match that is not too tough for them.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, has made several changes to their squad. They have recruited talented players like Lewandowski and Raphinha. Barcelona is now much stronger than before. However, they lost against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Xavi has yet to stabilize the team.

In my personal opinion, Barcelona's defeat when playing in the Champions League match against Bayern Munich was luck for Nagelsmann's squad.
To be honest, I didn't see Barcelona playing badly in that match. it's just that every opportunity they have can't really be maximized.  Statistically from the beginning of the game to the end, Barcelona controlled the game.

however, if we talk for real madrid. we agree, real madrid is really very impressive in every game. not only in La Liga, Los Blancos have consistently played in the champions league even though Karim Benzema did not follow on several occasions. however, Don Carlo was still able to bring his squad to win game after game. currently, La Liga is more competitive than last season.

[Bobrox]

Real Madrid haven't changed much because their squad is still solid with lots of quality players. even Marcelo leaving didn't have any impact on the madrid squad. but in barcelona they really need to bring in quality stickers to be able to spearhead the attack and the signing of lewandowski has had a good impact for barcelona at the start of this season. even Lewandowski until the 7th round of matches earlier this season he was already listed as the temporary top scorer. so in this comparison real madrid only needed a small change at the start of the season whereas barcelona had a big change in the squad.

Real Madrid still dominance by old squad in this season like Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema, Dani Carvajal have been more than 5 years ago with Real Madrid. Another new player arrived right now most completed right now Rudiger and Aurélien Tchouaméni. But Barcelona have build the new era with new player after arriving Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha drastically give positive impact for team with 5 won and 1 draw in six La Liga games until right now.

Barcelona not matter spent much money for Robert Lewandowski transfer because he has success scoring many goals in La Liga and UEFA Champion League for Barcelona in this season after get stuck last season with attacking line. Until six games Robert Lewandowski lead as La Liga top scorer with 8 goals although his competitor Karim Benzema left 5 goals from Lewandowski after missing in several match with injury.

Real Madrid is better than they were last season, even when they were not so good they managed to win the Laliga and Champions League. That makes me think that this season that they are better what will likely happen?

As for Barcelona, they were poor in the beginning of last season before Xavi came and magically changed the team. The team is very stable now. Losing the champions league against Bayern does not mean that the team is not stable.
Barcelona is the only team that is able to stop Real Madrid from becoming laliga champions.

Ancelotti factor is showing his best at the current Real Madrid performance with no big star but still they are doing amazing job in this season like they have done in last season with their double and most chance it's going to be very tough for others to face them in race of title which is surely going to be between two big clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid because currently no other team is capable of giving them good challenge for title race with their quality and performance specially Sevilla and Atlético Madrid both are having decline in performance.

Real Madrid youths are having good skills which are helping them for keeping momentum and not allowing opponents to have anything special against them but still match between these two big giants will give clear picture who is going to win this season as Barcelona is also having few quality players.

Robert Lewandowski is surely currently leading striker in La Liga even we have few more quality players like Karim Benzema, Morata and Vinicius which can give their best in this season but still Robert Lewandowski is best in his job and already leading table which is surely going to be good start for them after arrival from Germany as mostly peoples were feeling he can face consequence's for change of conditions but nothing happen, and he is giving his best which is showing his quality and abilities to adopt all conditions for giving his best.

Benzema is also one of the best but sadly recently he is facing some inquires which are preventing him from playing for his team and this is going to be bad for him because with this gape surely Lewandowski is going to be at the top as not allowing others to near him in goal numbers.

[X-ray]

Real madrid didn't make much signings as Barcelona this season, Ancelotti did mention that he was satisfied with the players he had already and with few additions he was ready to kick start the season, those statements he made turned out to be right and proves he knows what he is doing. The current players in the team have shown satisfactory performances this season. Barcelona also have shown improvement this season afteraki g several signings this summer and before. As the season grows old we will see how well both teams have improved and who is the favourite to win the trophy.

Real Madrid haven't changed much because their squad is still solid with lots of quality players. even Marcelo leaving didn't have any impact on the madrid squad. but in barcelona they really need to bring in quality stickers to be able to spearhead the attack and the signing of lewandowski has had a good impact for barcelona at the start of this season. even Lewandowski until the 7th round of matches earlier this season he was already listed as the temporary top scorer. so in this comparison real madrid only needed a small change at the start of the season whereas barcelona had a big change in the squad.

There's no need to change the team once it has been reaching the peak level in the football competition. Changing the team will give lots of impact to the its performance and it will make the team become unstable as well. In my opinion as long as real madrid will come with its best form and that will not become a big problem. Anyone aware about that. We will see el classico very soon and the performance for barcelona will be examine by real madrid. You must remember that madrid is always winning any of its match.
it was never loosing against its opponent.

[boltz]

I never liked international breaks from Football as it get you out of the football mood and from my point of view , I have no reasons to be happy about my national team playing ...as we are awful.

Anyway, I just read what Lewa said last week that it's easier to get Ballon D'or from Barcelona than from Bayern ... . Like , what ? Why would be easier from Barcelona ? The fact that he managed to have an wonderful start and score a lot of goals doesn't mean that playing for Barcelona will get you an extra chance to win Ballon D'or...I simply don't see it like that because that mean Ballon D'or agency have always prefer some teams over others which is not fair at all.

Barcelona is the only team that is able to stop Real Madrid from becoming laliga champions.

Real Madrid have changed all doubts last season with several trophies they won, Ancelotti being the one person who contributed the most to Real Madrid's success last season. This summer, Real Madrid managed to maintain its performance despite not being very active in the transfer market, Ancelotti squad managed to place themselves at the top of the standings with perfect points.

The rise of the power of Barcelona is a challenge for Real Madrid, Barcelona has positioned itself as a competitor to Real Madrid this season. The defeat to Bayern Munich was unlucky for Barcelona, they had played well at the Allianz arena but due to poor finishing they couldn't get a single goal in the match.
