La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Masplanc]

Big win for Barcelona vs Mallorca. Lewandowski is helping Barcelona indeed. If not that Barcelona signed Lewandowski I wonder how Barcelona will get to this position. I really appreciate Lewandowski effort for Barcelona,  he is the major strength keeping Barcelona going.  Congratulations to Barcelona for winning Mallorca.

[Rabi3]

There are 9 match waiting for Barcelona in October, and this schedule will leave the players really short of rest and physical recovery. So October is sure to be a grueling month for Barcelona and its players. Here's the full schedule in October:

it's not just Barcelona, lol Real Madrid also have the same number of matches in the same period and i believe all teams that are participating in the European Leagues have the same numbers too. So the only teams at an advantage are the low tier teams

I think we should expect top teams to lose lots of points this month vs low tier teams.

I like this way of thinking, it could really affect big teams and big players, it's something to keep in mind and probably avoid certain matches, it wasn't just Barcelona who had troubles today, we've seen that with PSG and Liverpool, in Barcelona's matche we didn't see a lot of scoring opportunities, they didn't really try that much to score multiple goals, one was enough, not really the best a gambler would hope to see.

I'm looking forward to the match between Mallorca vs Barcelona. It was an easy game for Barcelona because they faced a team that was far below them. The result will determine their position in the table to temporarily overtake Real Madrid before Real Maadrid play this week's match against Osasuna. What's more, I want to see their performances without being strengthened by their main players because of injuries.

barcelona practically played with their important players, they had lewandoski who even scored 1 goal, the winning goal, so let's not say that they didn't have their main players, just because some had injuries, but they also have other main players who play often, last season I kept saying that barcelona's problem was in the attack, that those attacking players weren't good enough, today they won with lewandoski's only goal, so if he wasn't there, the game would have been a draw, it was what happened last season

Cadiz 0 - 0 Villarreal

this is a result that surprised me, it seemed that villareal would win without many difficulties, but on the field things were different, and villareal lost points

Sevilla 0 - 2 Atletico Madrid

this was another result that left me very surprised, I even thought about a draw, but strange that atletico madrid won without conceding a goal

The cadiz vs villareal result was indeed surprising since cadiz team has only four points and they just recently managed to win in the last minutes of the last round not to mention they only scored only one  goal and conceided 14 it was strange that villareal team was unable to score even a single goal on the other hand atletico game was not that surprising since sevilla team is struggling and its their weakest form in recent years.

[Oluwa-btc]

They have only left a few of their important players through injury, there is no real impact from this. Of course Barcelona will get a win from Mallorca even though they will play away. The normal handicap for Barcelona is -1.75, which is normal I think because Barcelona will win by a score of at least 0 - 2. So, what do you think?

Currently 0-1 lewandowski success to get the score, I think 0-3 Barcelona can get it at full of time. Apparently the lack of main players due to injury did not make Barcelona performance decline, but it's unfortunately we probably won't see a lot of scores today, by the way if the lewandowski is lucky maybe 0-2 at halftime because there is still 5 minutes left.

Not the injuries affected them ( Barcelona in the slightest way ) did you notice that Mallorca have been playing with five man defense ?
That really made it difficult for those defender's to cut into, especially Ansu Fati and Ousman Dembele. The best way to have done the job better for Barcelona was to go through the middle or midfield, but pedri was dropped who is the boss to get that in between passes done.

I see the reason why he was dropped, because they will be facing Inter Milan during the champions league. They are both having three points and whoever wins takes the second spot. Barcelona wouldn't want to take that game for granted or likely, they'll seal it up.

And Lewandoski ? Perfect signature for Barcelona, I love how he takes decisions especially when in the eighteen yard box. Magnificent Strike and beautifully taken by Robert Lewandoski to put Barcelona ahead from first half.

[EdenHazard]

I am quite surprise that the result of the match between Mallorca vs Barcelona was 0 - 1
I also thought that Barcelona might be able to make more goals, but they couldn't and only got 1. Whereas they made so many shots, so did the Mallorca.
However, this doesn't matter. As long as they can create more goals than their opponent, they got the victory and got the full point.

Mallorca has good defenders, it makes Barcelona players hard to score more. But at least, Barcelona can get 3 points, it is enough for them.

Previously, I also expect that Barcelona can win with many goals since their attackers are very productive lately. However, Mallorca players can match the Barcelona game very well. They even made the same number of shots attempts although it was very clear that Barcelona won the ball possessions more than 70%. Well, it is quite surprising to see Mallorca performance.

A hard fought win indeed for barcelona .

As mallorca fight back everytime barcelona losing the ball despite the possession pretty far .. mallorca successfully making barcelona scoring a single only preventing them to get hammered as they used to be.
A bit disappointing especially for the barcelona fans as they expected many goals scored and some entertainment in it , too bad that barcelona cannot deliver it.

[TopT3ns]

what happened to villareal, the first half is about to end but the score is still 0-0

both ball possession was almost balanced, it was clear that Cadiz was playing defensively. if it continues like this, many people predict will be wrong. maybe the final result is a draw

And sure enough it was a draw for both teams. Villareal appeared to dominate, but they failed to score a single goal against Cadiz. Cadiz know their quality is no better than Villareal, so they prefer to stay and wait for their chance. Cadiz applied a disciplined game that made it difficult for Villareal to penetrate their defense. Villareal missed their chance to get points in this match.

It's a shame that Cadiz and Villarreal's battle didn't produce any points for both of them and this was just a waste of the opportunities that existed to score goals because indeed both teams had equal strength so they struggled to get goals. Hopefully Villarreal can get a win against Austria Wien on 7 October.

[nurilham]

Yes, Barcelona seems too superior to Mallorca although there are some Barcelona players injured.

Im sure about that. This can be considered as a free points for barcelona. i will not underestimate mallorca in any case but statistic said about the truth when mallorca against barcelona.

As predicted by most people Barcelona could have the victory against Mallorca.
What is not predictable is that Barcelona only could score 1 goal. I thought that at least they could make more than 2 goals, moreover with the squad, with Lewandowski's performance that was also amazing. But in fact, they could only make a goal. Moroever, Mallorca is a middle team in La Liga. But they could make a quite good defense from Barcelona attacks.

[Ayers]

Villarreal is a strong enough team and Cadiz is getting points at home for the first time. It's natural for them to think that 1 point is enough. Towards the end of the match, they wanted to keep this score as they went without conceding a goal for a long time.
The red card in overtime was very clever. Carcelen blocked the clear goal position and received applause from the fans. It's not common for a red card to be applauded. It was an interesting situation.
Getting a point against Emery's Villarreal should count as success. Cadiz can play against teams similar of their quality to win the match. It's their nature to be protective against big teams.

I feel like there are teams that just want to get out with a point at least, and that’s fine for them and it’s a long term approach. I am not saying that it would be a good idea for many teams, but if you want to just avoid relegation, then if you aim at 1.00+ point averages then it would be a good thing for you.

Not like they could, Cadiz is in trouble if you ask me, but if they aim at that, then they would avoid relegation, and not like they could be a top 5-6 team anyway, so it’s better to be 14th or something at the end of the season then be at a level where it would be just a situation where they would rather have to keep trying again and again instead.

According to the outcome of the Cadiz Vs Villarreal match, i believe that Cadiz missed many chances to achieve a positive result for their team. i also believe that they will be happy if they can somehow just avoid relegation. and not losing and getting 1 point again stay strong appoint is obviously a good outcome for them. in the next game, Cadiz is scheduled to play Espanyol from Spain. as a result, i believe that they have a good chance of getting another draw and, if they play well, they may also be able to win the match. that is going to significantly improve their position on the table.

The match has started and has been running for 28 minutes, for a while Barcelona have been leading 1-0 through goals from their goal machine Lewandowski. Barcelona who started the game with few substitutes in the first squad is still too strong for Mallorca, I think Barcelona will get a win in this match by more than two goals because Lewandowski always looks brilliant up front for Barcelona.

Lewandowski has been very good for Barça. Barcelona desperately needed a player like Lewandowski. Since they got him, they stand stronger on the offensive side. I was waiting for them to score another goal, but the match ended 1-0. Lewandowski's goal brought them the win. The Mallorca team also played well, but it wasn't enough for them to score.

Even the final score 0-2 is a low end I think because with Barcelona's current strength against a team whose quality is far below them, Barcelona should have won like 3 goals or more. But related to the problem of injuries, it will still have a bad impact on the team, because when against a stronger team of course it will be a big obstacle for them to get good gameplay. But at this moment it is fortunate that Barcelona will only play against Mallorca, who of course lose some key players because injuries will still be overcome. If Barcelona do not take advantage of this match to win then it will be very unfortunate, because for the next match Barcelona will be against a strong team.

^ As a result of Barcelona's win over Mallorca, Barcelona is now at the top of the table and has won 6 games out of 7 so far this season. The only difference between them and Real Madrid is that they have played one more match. So the only thing that is going to solidify the position of Barcelona in the first position is going to be Real Madrid losing their next match. However, I don't think that is going to happen considering the fact that Real Madrid is going to play against Osasuna in the next match. As a team, Osasuna does not seem to be performing consistently. Because of this, I do not think that they will be able to defeat Real Madrid and even draw a match with them.

[Jody.Drummer]

What a great level Athletic Bilbao has been this year. I hope they go to the Champions. Athletic Bilbao is amazing that a team can play such good football without spending money on transfers, almost all the players are brought up straight from their academy.

I think there is still a big chance considering that at the moment the condition of some of the big teams can't be said to be stable with their record of performance having to be like this in terms of consistency because they are dark horses and of course from this word we know that in the last 2 seasons Betis has always so the dark horse that always troubles others.
Atletico are slowly approaching this moment and it is clear they want to aim for their position as last season in 3rd place and this will indirectly make the competition even more real.

1-0 for barcelona. As already predicted by so many people here. Mallorca will give barcelona a tough match. Mallorca is performing so well on that match but that's sad to see that if lewandoski was only making a goal. I guess he can make more if he was lucky enough with it.
That's not a problem caused by barcelona was getting full points against mallorca which is still on fire as well. Barcelona has been trying its best to make sure if was going back to the home with three points in hand

in the previous season in 2020-2021 Bilbao managed to finish in 10th place and in the next season in the 2021-2022 season Bilbao managed to move up two places and managed to finish in eighth place in the standings at the end of the season, it is likely that this season Bilbao will compete with top clubs. top to get a ticket to the Champions League next season, with a fantastic win over visitors Almeria with a promising score of 4-0, then Bilbao's position is still safe in third place in the standings, although the game is still early but I believe Bilbao can maintain their position In fourth place in the standings at the end of the season, I dare to risk my money for the Bilbao team to stay in fourth place in the standings at the end of the season.

Clubs that are often considered dark horses cannot be underestimated. Because it will backfire, it can be more dangerous when all focus on big clubs instead clubs like Bilbao and Betis take advantage of a situation where La Liga often only focuses on Barcelona and Madrid. Maybe they are not ambitious to target the top spot, but the top 3 to the top 5 are still a safe position rather than being in the relegation zone.

Besides that, Barcelona's victory currently leads the top of the standings. Lewandowski again extended the top score with the acquisition of 9 goals. Whether Benzema will be eliminated this season, statistically Benzema is still in a condition that has not fully improved. It's a shame that he had to be absent so much. But fortunately, so far Vinicius has improved his form which has taken him to the highest level. Ancelotti still needs Benzema for Real Madrid to return to the perfect main formation.

Three important points for Barca. It was not an easy match, especially in the 2nd half. Ter Stegen was superb.
Robert Lewandowski and Ter Stegen are the main differentiators between the two teams in this match.
And Ter Stegen has set a new personal best for minutes and survived without once having to pick the ball out from the back of the net.

That's not a problem caused by barcelona was getting full points against mallorca which is still on fire as well. Barcelona has been trying its best to make sure if was going back to the home with three points in hand

One goal is enough for Barcelona to get an additional three points from the headquarters of Mallorca. This match was not easy for Barcelona, even though Barcelona had the upper hand in possession but Mallorca gave a very good resistance and occasionally threatened Barcelona with a built attack. The victory that Barcelona just got took them to the top of the standings for a while, now Barcelona has collected 19 points from 7 matches. Barcelona position is not safe in the first position, because Real Madrid can still return to the top if they are able to beat Osasuna in the seventh match which will be played at Real Madrid headquarters.

Lewandowski is performing at his best level, but so is all the team, if the team had started bad this season Lewandowski would have struggled with them too, but Xavi has worked so well on this team, Dembele is also playing some really lovely football, and so are the other players in the team, they all have formed a strong partnership which makes it easy for Lewadowski to finish off attacks by getting the goals. Since losing messi, they lacked an attacker with a big personality, they have that now with Lewandowski, and they may take this title from real madrid this season.

Robert Lewandowski have always been the man that have always delivered Barcelona from the hard times this season and he's ranking top as the highest goal scorer on the list. Xavi Hernandez trying his best to compact the team to maintain their form after some of his keyplayers suffering injuries during international break games. Barcelona contending with real Madrid for the league title this season is quite an impression for Xavi since he's using new players to persuade his target while on the other side Carlo Ancelotti knows the best players to use to achieved his targets also.

Lewandoski is a big plus to the Barcelona team. This should be his 10th goal for the season if i am not mistaken. Early last season Barcelona suffered so much from their finishing but when xavi came in with good tactics he was able to revive the club and signing Lewandoski added to their score line. Dembele is a classical player but he lacks the finishing skills. Barcelona made the right choice of signing Lewandoski
