La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Masplanc]

Celta Vigo has always been a difficult opponent for Barcelona, and their performance this season has been admirable despite being unsettling for the Catalans. A draw is possible in this match because Celta Vigo will want to keep climbing up in the Laliga table after a successful win against Betis in their last Laliga match. I know the match will be difficult for Barcelona because Celta Vigo will not allow them to score many goals.

Their chance of having a draw is slim, they may doing well in their game but I'm not sure if they will win.

For the fact Barcelona have Lewadowski they will surely win the match, Barcelona can't afford to lose the game. Celta squad can't be compared to Barcelona when it comes to performance.

[Doell]

Benzema has not returned to his best form after the injury that hit him. Ancelotti is reasonable to rest benzema in the match against Getafe because ancelotti can return to present benzema when he meets a stronger team and hopes she can really come back with a good performance.
Well, last night win against Getafe was quite important for Real Madrid because it was able to shift Barcelona from the top rankings. Eder Militao only goal was the decisive victory for Real madrid over Getafe although several golden opportunities were created but until the end of the match there were no extra goals.

Anyways, Benzema does have to rest and indeed reasonable if ancelotti rests him, also I'm not saying it's unreasonable, because the next match La Liga Real Madrid against Barcelona so Benzema must be in good condition. Well what your opinion Sir when Real Madrid play at Camp Nou, did they will succeed to get full points? although it is difficult to predict but that's worth to discussing.
By the way now Barcelona v Celta at Camp Nou, this match they as hosts have the potential to win and get full points so they can sit at the top again, but I hope Celta don't easily give full points to Barcelona.

Well what your opinion Sir when Real Madrid play at Camp Nou, did they will succeed to get full points? although it is difficult to predict but that's worth to discussing.

Based on Livescore line up player I checked found it and seem Karim Benzema missing last night when Madrid won from Getafe because Lack of fitness. Ancelotti not include him player list against with Getafe, not any official announcement yet from Real Madrid about why haven't list named with Karim Benzema against Getafe last night, maybe prepare him for important match on el clasico against Barcelona next week.

By the way now Barcelona v Celta at Camp Nou, this match they as hosts have the potential to win and get full points so they can sit at the top again, but I hope Celta don't easily give full points to Barcelona.

Barcelona lead 1-0 from goals scored by Pedri on 17th minutes after wrong anticipation from Celta Vigo defender, actually great crossing did by Gavi before Celta Vigo defender try to interception but not really good and give space for Pedri easily for scoring goals and make Barcelona lead 1-0 until 30th minutes.

Toni Kroos with Real Madrid performed so well. He has always been the choice of Anceloti. But I know his contract will expire in June next year. To date there have been no clear talks about his contract with Madrid. Madrid with Anceloti still want him to remain at the Bernabeu, as Ancleoti has yet to find a replacement. Besides all the decisions are in Kroos.  Actually, he is only 32 years old, I think he is still worthy of playing in Real Madrid. But reportedly Pep Guardiola wants to bring him to Man City.

Benzema isn't that young so Ancelotti won't want to let him play and risk being injured if he isn't in his best form. Courtois is important for any top game so letting him recover is wise too.
Next Sunday, Real Madrid will play vs Donetsk in Champions League then vs Barcelona. An important week in which Real needs its key players.
BTW Barcelona is still leading with Pedri goal in the first half.

Real Madrid cannot release Toni Kroos next season, considering that Luka Modric will also choose to retire if Madrid do not renew his contract next season. Real Madrid automatically lost two midfielders at once. This makes it difficult for Real Madrid to find a new midfielder as a replacement. I think Camavinga and Aurelien are not very experienced, so they still need senior players to defend the club. Especially in the champions league which of course really needs experienced players with a winning mentality.

[Alanaz]

Barcelona's first half ended with a win for Barcelona with a score of 1-0.
Nothing too strange in this because Barcelona did as everyone thinks but it's interesting what Xavi will do in the second half because if you look at the previous few games and to keep fit it is likely that Ansu will play in place of Ferran Torres and there is always something going on. interesting when he was a substitute.

[Pulsar77]

Barcelona are getting close to the win by keeping their 1-0 lead in the match.

We are in the last 20-minute period of the match now. This is still a risky score but Barcelona insist on not trying to score the second goal. Xavi shouldn't want this from his players. They should keep trying to score the goal to relieve otherwise they might really lose points. Celta Vigo are still keeping their hopes alive because of Barcelona's strategies. If Barcelona finish the match by winning then they are going to take the lead back from Real Madrid. Both of them deserve the lead currently actually.

As we are going to have the El Clasico next weekend, I'm already very excited.

[AakZaki]

~snip~

as expected from real madrid, although not many goals, but the important thing is that they won the game

Happy even if it's only one goal difference. Seeing the game Madrid actually had enough possession of the ball. Getafe only relied on quick counterattacks. I think there will come a lot of goals because Militao made the first goal at the beginning of the game. There were actually two chances but indeed VAR thwarted an extra goal that could have been made. It was Vini who was fouled and Rodrygo who was offside. Yes while this win puts them at number one in La Liga.

[SatoPrincess]

Yes, it doesn't take many goals as long as winning three points is the most important thing. Getafe can always make it difficult for Madrid to make many goals. In the previous few games they were also not able to make many goals. Perhaps Benzema's absence also meant their finishing was not much of a goal. Actually, Madrid also controlled the game, but the Getafe players' chances of staying away from the bottom class failed because of Militao's goal.

In fact, Madrid creates achieved never losing in the last 8 games, this is great motivation for the squad. but, they can't be careless because the different point from Barcelona is only 2 which means 1 left match Barcelona is possible to take Madrid's position in the next 2 weeks. We don't know for how long the muscle's injured, because without Benzema Madrid looks like less of a bite on the front.

Karim Benzema is a goalscoring machine for the Real Madrid team so without him I think it's natural that the Real Madrid squad won the match by a narrow score, looking at the last 8 matches it is true that Madrid always come out victorious against Getafe and they always manage to score at least 2 goals or more in the previous 8 matches against Getafe, hopefully Karim Benzema recovers from the muscle injury he is currently experiencing because if it is not possible the Barcelona team will again replace the Real Madrid team who are currently at the top of the standings because they are only 3 points adrift.

Benzema is a figurehead in Real Madrid Football Club and the club itself is aware of this development that is why they always tread with caution whenever he is not in the pitch.
The absence of Benzema is always felt with limited amount of goals by Real Madrid, he is a good man and is always a point of contact to complete the passes that will built up to goals. He was actually benched against Gatefe not because his injury has not heale, it is because of the forthcoming el clasico, Benzema needs to be in that much to make it look like an El classico.

I must admit that I concluded that Real Madrid will fall drastically after Ronaldo's departure, I also concluded it will be impossible to get a good and suitable replacement, someone who will carry the team on his shoulders the same way Ronaldo did and score many goals and lead the attacking line so well but Karim Benzema has proved me wrong by taking up that task and actually living the dream as the perfect replacement for Ronaldo. The team's outstanding performance to an extent is because of Benzema’s amazing contribution.

But it will definitely be shifted again this time.
Barcelona are playing and there are still no additional goals in this match apart from Pedri's goal in the 17th minute.
It's now 80 minutes and it's a risk for both clubs because the last 10 minutes are usually crucial.
If Barcelona manages to maintain this advantage then the top position will definitely be taken over again.

It would be a shame if Xavi had to settle for a score of 1 point while the race with Real Madrid was still quite long. Barcelona actually can still have the potential to score goals, this match should not be satisfied with bringing only 1 point. I don't know what Xavi was thinking. For me, the remaining 15 minutes left Barcelona with a lot of opportunities that shouldn't be wasted.

[Zackgeno96]

Barcelona still have a few minutes to go in the game against Celta de Vigo. They certainly don't have it easy, but in the end they are now leading 1-0 with a goal that was scored fairly quickly in the first half. Barcelona are also making it unnecessarily difficult for themselves by not making the 2-0. We saw that yesterday at Real Madrid, but small victories count just as much. Barcelona should try to play such matches professionally if it doesn't all go smoothly. They will win and that way keep the first place in the competition.

No matter how many player transfers Barcelona have made this season and they have a very large squad but many of their players are injured and suspended, and the lack of these players is felt in the Celta Vigo match, especially in the defense line. Celta Vigo still continues to press, they can continue with a very intense pressure, let's see how long Barcelona can withstand this pressure. Although there were changes to Dembele, Fati and De Jong, Barcelona could not find the 2nd goal and I can say that the superiority is almost Celta Vigo

[Porfirii]

Finally FC Barcelona won the match by 1-0. It has been an interesting game because, even if Celta is not a great team compared with Barça, the risk of the draw has been there for most of the second time. 3 point more for the Catalans, who hold the first place in the ranking.

[TopT3ns]

Real Madrid won the match against getafe with 1 goal and they are at the top of the table against Barcelona.  If Barcelona fails to win Celta Vigo today it might be a difficult challenge to be in the first position again.

I'm convinced that Barcelona will win Celta because they are very consistent in la liga.

Real Madrid should have taken advantage of this moment against Getafe to get a high score, but in reality Real Madrid was only able to get 1 goal and did not take this opportunity to add to the scoring points in the standings. Real Madrid struggled against Barcelona and it looks like they are struggling to catch up with Barcelona.

Again we see the results of the bad game produced by Barcelona, ​​1 - 0 is a result that makes no sense in my opinion. They had everything in the game against Celta like possession, attempted shots and others. If they continue to make the same results in the following matches, then it is certain that they will not be able to compete with Real Madrid in the La Liga title race.

I think Real Madrid should be smart and keep him on the team. Obviously, Manchester City is going to want him because he is such a talented player to have in the midfield. But at the same time, he is getting old. I believe that he still has at least two years of reliable service to provide. There is no doubt in my mind that Real Madrid should keep him for at least those two years. After that, I think Real Madrid can afford to let him leave.

But right now I feel like if Real Madrid lets him leave, the current chemistry of the team is about to be imbalanced. That is not going to be conducive to the team's success in the long run. Real Madrid has a team which is functioning quite well even though they have some problems in the defense. I think that if any changes have to be made to the team, they should look to bring better players in the defense, rather than experiment with the midfield.

Despite playing a key role in the club's success since his arrival from Bayern Munich in 2014, Toni Kroos' future has been a source of great speculation. Kroos will remain in Los Blancos' uniform next season, Casemiro's move to Manchester United last summer has split the iconic Los Blancos trio. Ancelotti certainly does not want to lose another player who is quite experienced like Kroos. Except, Camavinga and Tchouaméni have been able to replace their roles.

[execijutiere]

Real sociedad defeated villareal 1-0 with a good game. Sociedad continues to do well in Europe. As both teams are competing in the European Cups, there weren't many goals. But it was the hosts sociedad who played more dominant. Villareal are playing a more balanced game this year so they haven't conceded many goals so far this week.
Barcelona also got 3 points that will make their fans forget a little bit about the Inter defeat.
