La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[nara1892]

Atletico Madrid are going to have another real challenge in the league against Athletic Bilbao.

It is an away game which is even a bigger difficulty for Atletico. By the way according to the odds, Athletic Bilbao is the slightly favourite side by 2.44 odd. Atletico is given 3.10 and the gap is quite interesting. I would expect very close odds honestly. Athletic Bilbao's solid run in the recent times must be effective in bookmakers' doing this. Or maybe the reason is that Atletico Madrid can't beat them since 2017. This is quite a record for the home team and it looks like they can maintain this unbeaten series this week also.

Bilbao recent performance and the statistics meetings from both of teams placed Bilbao as the favourite and Atletico away matches records actually was not so bad even in La Liga they get 3 wins and once draw from away records so there is a hope for them to improved their records from Bilbao but indeed it wouldn't be easy considering Bilbao also has displayed impressive performance and they can able reach to 3rd position on standings league but don't mean Bilbao so strong in this match because they get 1 lose from home match while against Espanyol but i will more prefer to choose both teams to scores instead of picked who is the winner of this match because Bilbao or Atletico had equal chances to win the game

Judging from the current condition of Bilbao and the current positive trend, it is clear that in this match Atletico Madrid will have difficulty returning considering that their current condition is not too good.
But indeed the last 2 wins clearly make Atletico confident they should be at this time because indeed they have to do that especially if they win in this match of course they will be where they usually are in the top 3 position.
But in this match I am quite doubtful if I do make a bet because this is still quite a big risk.

I believe Bilbao has a bigger chance. although Atletico managed to get 2 wins in the last match, those were against Sevilla and Girona. even conceded against Girona 2-1.
it is indeed difficult to place a bet on a match with both teams like this. too risky, but if you want to bet, Bilbao is a good percentage of profit.

But looking at Madrid's current condition, it seems they are more prepared because in terms of players they are far more complete than Barcelona in this El Clasico. Barcelona are struggling quite a bit, apart from a hectic schedule and having to play against some strong clubs they are also faced with injuries to some of their core players which I'm not too sure about for them.

Real Madrid has 1 key player who gets injured (Courtois). He is expected to return on October 15.
Barcelona has 3 center backs injured, but Kounde seems to be available before the El Classico.
Kessie is also expected to return on October 14.

If all expected players are available before the El Classico match, both teams will have complete key players in their lineups. So, I think both Real Madrid and Barcelona will be well prepared.

Regarding their current performances, I think both Real Madrid and Barcelona look convincing, they are in a good shape. Although Barcelona was just defeated by Inter Milan, I don't think it will bring a big impact on El Classico result. El Classio match is always unpredictable, even Real Madrid is a superior team, it won't guarantee to win. Don't forget that Real Madrid experienced many times lose at home.

If you see the El Clasico match being held, there really isn't a problem for Madrid, I think because I saw a statement from Ancelotti who said that Courtois would definitely be useless to play during the El Clasico but I haven't seen a statement about Kounde and De Jong hopefully they are also ready to appear.
Because it will be very different if one of these two clubs does not perform optimally in El Clasico, especially since this is a game with great prestige.

Madrid is the clear favorite over Barcelona in this matchup, with many fans eagerly expecting the El Classico. The Madrid team is currently the most complete one in Europe. Barca will battling for a draw with Madrid in the El Classico.
Benzem Karim has returned from injury, but his recent performances have not been stellar. He will undoubtedly make a stronger comeback for the El Classico match.

Since Robert Lewandowski's play at Barcelona has been outstanding, the Madrid defense needs to be extremely cautious around him. He has magical feet that allow him to score at any time.
I believe Madrid will triumph 3:2.

EL CLasico is always interesting and the tension in this match is very high because of the rivalry between the two top La Liga teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, of course a fierce match will be inevitable, especially since both teams are currently in their best performance.

but I think the points on the standings are not a serious problem because both of them currently have the same points and the competition is still very long, of course because of the rivalry between the two which makes both teams want to win this match and so of course both teams will also play very be careful.

so I don't think there will be any insistent play and making a draw is very possible if you look at the quality of the two teams which are almost the same

El Clasico is the most awaited match by football fans, this match is always interesting to watch because it will always show high tension due to the rivalry between the two teams. Barcelona and Real Madrid will fight each other to get to the first place in the La Liga standings, the defeat of one of them will make the distance of 3 points in the first and second positions.

The first El Clasico this season will be held at the pride of Real Madrid Stadium (Santiago Bernabeu), Real Madrid certainly does not want to be humiliated by the visitors in front of their supporters. Ancelotti will instruct his players to give their best to win over his eternal rival. Barcelona who are at their best also don't want to lose to their arch-rivals, Xavi Hernandez men will try to control the game for the three points at home to Madrid.
It is very difficult to predict the result of El Clasico this time, because both teams are in their best form this season.

The upcoming El Clasico will be a little different for Barcelona. Because it seems like this is the first El Clásico since Xavi came in and organized the new team. Since the game will be played at Real Madrid's ground, Real Madrid will avoid crowd pressure. Barcelona will play with a lot of pressure because they won't have the support of the crowd there. But if Barcelona win, they will make history.

it is indeed difficult to place a bet on a match with both teams like this. too risky, but if you want to bet, Bilbao is a good percentage of profit.

By looking at their position in the standings, there is no doubt that Atletico Bilbao is a formidable opponent for Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid are in an unstable state which makes me have less faith in them now. Moreover, they also have to face a match in the Champions League which requires them to get maximum points. They have two focuses now because the Champions League doesn't allow them to play comfortably with their current points tally. It will be a tough game in La Liga and also in the Champions League.

This is not Xavi's first el clasico as coach, having previously also faced each other during pre-season matches. It might be more correct to say this is the first el clasico after Xavi completely overhauled the whole style of play and also the players in official matches. But Barceolan himself still has problems because the main players who are usually in the line-up suffered injuries following their matches while defending their country. Because since Barcelona lost players who are now injured, their game looks a bit down.

Madrid is the clear favorite over Barcelona in this matchup, with many fans eagerly expecting the El Classico. The Madrid team is currently the most complete one in Europe. Barca will battling for a draw with Madrid in the El Classico.

I hope not, both teams have their strengths and weaknesses in the El Clasico match this weekend but you are free to decide who is the favorite and I believe it depends on which side you are on. If you are a Real Madrid fan, I'm sure you will expect a win at Santiago Bernabeu, and vice versa.

Since Robert Lewandowski's play at Barcelona has been outstanding, the Madrid defense needs to be extremely cautious around him. He has magical feet that allow him to score at any time.

Lewandowski is a threat to the Real Madrid defence, but I think there are many other players who can be a threat as well. Raphinha, Lewandowski and Dembele are three dangerous strikers, but Pedri and several others can also score goals. Don't forget, Real Madrid are also going through a lot of injuries so you can't really easy expect them to win at home.

[hahay]

In addition to the exciting El Clasico match on matchday 9, there will also be another exciting match competing in 3rd and 4th place, they is the match between Bilbao and Atletico. Because if any of them lose or even just get a draw, Betis and Real Sociedad will be ready to return to the top four, especially for Betis who will play at home against Almeria I am personally very confident that Betis will win and will return to the top four. Because so far only Betis are the only undefeated when playing at home, meanwhile Almeria is the second team from bottom that has a bad record when playing away. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the match between Bilbao v Atletico wins or draws because Betis are certain to overtake them.

Anything can happen in this el clasico, because we know that both teams have some problems with their players. The last one is Rudiger who had a problem during the game a few hours ago. I don't know much about Rudiger's injury, which was bleeding. Can he play in El Clasico or not? Because if he is absent it will be a loss for Real Madrid to lose a strong defender. Likewise with Barcelona who lost several players because of the same thing.

I also think that Real Madrid is the obvious favorite in this game, but the bookies think otherwise, which is quite funny considering the "death sandwich" that Barcelona got into: Inter - Real - Bayern. All three games are the most important - do the bookmakers really think that Barcelona is strong enough to be successful in these three games at once? In my opinion, this is an obvious mistake.

Ahead of the El Clasico match, it is true that both teams may still be missing several players due to injury. I don't think it's going to be the most basic issue of why we should be worried, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have some decent substitutes to play for.

But I want to focus a little on Barcelona's match against Inter today, obviously there will be a lot of expectations on Barcelona's shoulders because they have to get 3 points at the end of the match. If Barcelona lose this match, then I think in El Clasico things will be very different for them.

Likewise, today I will look at Barcelona's game against Inter. I know they have a lot of injured players, even though they have such a large squad, having so many injuries was the worst scenario that could happen to the Barcelona team at the moment when they had such important matches in the middle of the season. He lives the same in Real Madrid. Even though Real-Madrid is the favorite of the bookies, all kinds of results can come out of this match.

I don't see that in Madrid now because Courtois' absence will be completely over considering this player will definitely be in the line-up ahead of the Clasico because Ancelotti has also said that he will definitely be ready to play.
But it's different from Barcelona, which still has some problematic players.
Even though it's like that, it still won't get rid of the high intensity it seems because this is the big match that you've been waiting for.

The El Clasico is going to be a highly competitive and highly anticipated match in La Liga. I believe that both teams are determined to try their hardest to win this match as well. Neither of these teams is flawless at this moment. They obviously have some problems. If we look at the statistics of this season we will see that Real Madrid has conceded a lot more than Barcelona. But Barcelona is also not doing very well in attacking.

Barcelona Vs Inter

Looks like Barcelona is going to be knocked out of the Champions League from the group stage. At the moment, Barcelona is playing against Inter in the Champions League. 80 minutes have been played and Barcelona is behind. The score is 2-1 in favor of Inter.

Update - as I was writing this post Barcelona just scored and made it level. The score is now 2-2. 85 minutes have been played and Barcelona really need to score another one to make sure they win this match

[bekti3]

Likewise, today I will look at Barcelona's game against Inter. I know they have a lot of injured players, even though they have such a large squad, having so many injuries was the worst scenario that could happen to the Barcelona team at the moment when they had such important matches in the middle of the season. He lives the same in Real Madrid. Even though Real-Madrid is the favorite of the bookies, all kinds of results can come out of this match.

Now the worst case scenario is clearly happening in their match in the Champions League.
At the moment the game is almost over for them and they are still losing by 1-2 and this can obviously destroy their hopes of qualifying for the next stage because indeed to get points in the match against Bayern later is clearly difficult and they have to go back to the Europa League for the second time in two consecutive seasons.

[fullhdpixel]

Barcelona now needs to beat Inter Milan more than a win against Real Madrid. Failing to get 3 points against Inter Milan will make it almost impossible for them to qualify for the knock out round. Barcelona's players will now have a better understanding of how effective they are in critical situations. Barcelona has built the team by spending a lot of money. However, I don't think their performance is very good.

Why not both? I mean they could definitely beat both Inter and Real at the same time, they are strong enough to do both. I am not saying that is what’s going to happen, but there is no reason to think that they would fail to do that.

It means we are going to end up with something that is going to result with a bad situation in the end for them if they lose to Inter, there is no recovery from that, even if they lose to Real, that would be emotionally damaging but they could recover that for the rest of the season, but if they lose to Inter there is no scenario where they will end up going above, hence it is a must win for them no matter what.

The current odds are 2.29 for Madrid and 3.05 for Barcelona.
Regardless of who is underdog these are still very tempting odds right now.
Madrid are playing at home so they are the favorites in this match but judging by Barcelona's unyielding performance as shown against Inter a few hours ago it is clear that this is still an obstacle for Madrid although I personally believe in them in this El Clasico.

[Bobrox]

Sunday October 16th is the most excited match between Real Madrid vs Barcelona as the first el clasico in this season, despite this most emotional match and each team want to win but Real Madrid have  favorite with playing home. Bad result at Champion League for Barcelona after held by Inter and little chance to play at 16 round make Barcelona mentality drop, however most emotional with el clasico match but can't play at 16 round phase on Champion League not great achievement.

Another excitement with this el clasico match because the winner in this games will lead first standing awhile, Barcelona still lead top standing with goal difference.

Barcelona can't even win against intermilan even played in home. That proves that if real madrid was superious from so many aspects. It seems like that bookmakers were drunk. The bookmakers are not even watching the result from last match against intermilan. they need to be at least watch the result from any match. It's strange to put more on barcelona.

The bookmakers are not even watching the result from last match against intermilan. they need to be at least watch the result from any match. It's strange to put more on barcelona.

I don't know about the bookmakers' alcohol preferences, but the bookmakers are clearly looking at the result of the Shakhtar-Real Madrid match, when Madrid barely saved a draw with great difficulty at the cost of a bloody face of Rüdiger at the 5th minute at 5 minutes added of the game Therefore, if I were you, I would be more cautious about the chances of the teams in the upcoming El Classico. For me personally, Real Madrid is also a favorite in the upcoming match with Barcelona, but only on the basis that the match will be held at Real Madrid's home stadium. By the way, Benzema does not seem to be in the best shape yet and has not scored goals in the last two matches, unlike the same Lewandowski, who scored two goals for Inter and almost saved the match for Barcelona and kept the chances of getting out of the Champions League group stage into the playoffs.

[kawetsriyanto]

Not only full of prestige, but the duel will also be a moment of revenge for Los Blancos, who lost 0-4 to Barcelona last season.
Real Madrid has shown consistent performances since the start of the season and will receive full support from the Public of Santiago Bernabeu.
But Barcelona is more confident than ever as Jules Kunde and Frenkie De Jong have recovered from injuries.

El Classico is always a special moment. Besides the prestige, it is the moment of revenge and also the moment to claim which team is stronger this season. And the result of the upcoming El Classico will determine the position of each team, the winner will be on the top of La Liga standings and leads with 3 points.

Yep, Real Madrid played quite consistently during this season but it cannot guarantee to win. I have no idea which team to win although the favorite should be Real Madrid because they will play at home.

You are right. Courtois and Kounde seem to play in the next El Classico because their recovery looks faster. Kessie and De Jong are also ready to play, they even already played today in UCL.
