La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[D-law]

In my personal opinion, no matter how successful Barcelona is in La Liga, they will never win El Clasico. Real Madrid have a speedy attack. Barcelona's defensive players are showing poor performances, which we saw against Inter. If Xavi manages the team in a different plan, something good can happen

Lewandowski himself said that his team thought too much up front and forgot that their back line was dying, if the Barca defense is still chaotic like when they faced inter then don't expect them to win in the el clasico match later. madrid is a very consistent team, they have almost no gaps/weaknesses and the chances of Barca winning in the el clasico later are very small. I will secure my funds (bet) for Madrid later.

Gerrard Pique should be dropped.
Age is already at his side, my problem is just that Barcelona has those young defenders injured.
I still wander how they will cope with Madrid's attacking squad. They will be coordinated in attack but not defending

In the game Rayo Vallecano vs Getafe I bet on the victory of the hosts. Vallecano is doing quite well in home matches, and Getafe's team is quite the opposite - they score poorly in away matches. This is where I see Rayo's main advantage. It is quite possible that we will see a lot of goals today. Both teams sometimes focus mainly on attack, forgetting a bit about defense.

Obviously Rayo Vallecano are better than Getafe, despite losing their last game. This match is a moment for them to be able to win again. Getafe come in the same form, they have 2 defeats in a row in their last 2 matches. This should be a comfortable win for Rayo Vallecano and restore the 3 points lost last week. Betting for the home win is indeed promising.

Barcelona's players must have realized where their weakness lies now and at what point they often make mistakes. Their back line is easily penetrated by opposing attackers, and up front they are always missing the moment to shoot directly or find the best position to shoot. They play with the ball so much that they forget the important thing, which is scoring goals. If we look at their previous matches, there are some opportunities that they always lose the right timing. I have no problem when they choose to look for gaps to create goals, but what they are doing now is often wasting chances.

Getafe and Rayo Vallecano teams seem similar to me. Both teams' performances have been erratic. They have won 3 matches against Rayo Vallecano this season and Getafe have won just 2 matches. The main reason for Vallecano's defeat was the weakness of their defense. On the other hand, Getafe's defense is strong but their attack is very weak. But this is Rayo Vallecano's home match. Considering the home match I want to put Vallecano team ahead. Rayo Vallecano won 3-0 in their last home match against Getafe.

In fact so far Rayo Vallecano is indeed better than Getafe including when playing home and away, so it's no wonder Rayo Vallecano gets lower odds even though the odds are still quite high @ 2.xx : 4.xx. With a record like that, of course, Rayo Vallecano has a chance to win, but I personally am not completely sure if I have to bet on Rayo Vallecano's victory. Because even though in the standings they seem to have quite a distance but they only have a gap of three points, then it looks like Getafe will take advantage of this at least to get points.

[Doell]

Rayo vs Getafe and last season Rayo can beat Getafe at their home ground with score 3-0 so this indicated as a host they have good opportunity to repeat their previous result today and so far from home matches Rayo already get 2 wins from 3 wins total this season so this is good records considering they are mediocre team and always be struggle to avoid relegated zone for each season and for this match although this option has slightly risky but i would like to pick Rayo win as my current bet and the bookie provided decent odds for them @2.02

Rayo Vallecano another possibility can't be play Ruben de Tomas through injury, meanwhile Andres Martin is not expected to recover from a shoulder problem. I think a very risky but not bad option for you to bet on Rayo, as you said indeed their performance is good play at home in the previous two matches they success to get full points, so possible they can also manage to take full points in this match later.

If the opponent is Getafe, I still believe that Rayo Vallecano will get the win in this match, even though they lost some players through injury. The reason is Getafe is in a declining performance, as well as Rayo Vallecano. But if you compare the two, it is clear that Rayo Vallecano is better than Getafe. Moreover, this will be a home match for Rayo Vallecano, of course they have more ambition to win.

I've compared the both teams, indeed Getafe away team often plays inconsistently when playing away, so Rayo Vallecano chances are higher in this match. By the way I've placed a bet but it on BTTS yes, although the risk is higher but hopefully Getafe can get at least one score, because last 3 matches away Getafe can be scored.

Rayo Vallecano and Getafe both dropped points in their last match in Laliga. I don't think there is a favourite in this match, but of course the home team has to hold the lead and have to try their best for 3 points. Vallecano and Getafe are both strong in defence, so a draw should also be a good thing for you to consider. Once again, there is no favorite team in this match as both teams seem to be in an unstable form. Rayo Vallecano have the home advantage, maybe they will take advantage of it.

Barcelona's defense is currently very weak. For some reason, their team is now in danger. I am also favoring Real Madrid in the upcoming El Clasico as they have fast young players in their squad. How Barcelona's defense can cope with Real Madrid's fast-paced attack is a matter of concern.

I see something different, namely Rayo Vallecano are better than Getafe, because I put them as favorites in this match. And as you said, another advantage of Rayo Vallecano is that they will be playing at home, so they should make good use of this. The difference in strength between them is not that significant, but I see Getafe having a bit of a serious problem in their game. Both clubs will be able to score goals and Rayo Vallecano will lead by 1 goal difference.

Real Madrid's quick counter-attack is still the best in my opinion. They could even calmly turn things around if they fell behind first. What I like about Real Madrid is how their midfielders work, they are very good and creative in their attack. They have an understanding of each other so they can read what their partner wants. They are also much more effective than Barcelona, they don't waste much of their chances if they get them.

That's not possible dude. Barcelona is weak; sometimes I'd feel like the fact that they made good use of the transfer window was irrelevant. haven't seen any progress apart from the times they'd struggle and scramble hard just to get one point average ( which is a draw ).
They can't keep up a defensive standard against Madrid. That hasn't happened in the past 3 years thus, it'd be a big luxury      In the phase of an unevenly structured team schedule; betis is one of sort though. Thanks to Madrid that they've utilized  properly -- a rear opportunity and that has kept 'em going smoothly.

[KTChampions]

To be honest, I don't know where you saw a good performance from Barcelona in the Champions League. The fact that they had chances to score a goal against Bayern and against Inter also does not mean some good achievement - every team has missed chances. Yes, Barcelona did not lose all the games with a crushing score, but all the games were lost by game - in general, it is clear that Bayern and Inter are simply stronger than Barcelona.
And yes, the bookmakers give about 16% for the fact that Barcelona will still be able to reach the playoffs. For me personally, it's amazing - Inter should beat Victoria, Inter can beat even unmotivated Bayern. While even an unmotivated Bayern can beat their favorite principle rival - Barcelona.

Barcelona have poor performance in Champion League after drop to 3rd standing position and left 3 points behind Inter Milan the latest position qualify to next round, bad dreaming for Barcelona at champion league because next match if Inter success win actually Barcelona have to play on Europe League. Become bad started for Barcelona before el clasico match because the rival team Real Madrid have lock one place at 16 round of Champion League. Actually I think chance for Barcelona have closed because Inter playing home on next match and seems easy how to win from Plzen.

Whatever bad achievement in champion league Barcelona have forget it and keep forward and preparing for el clasico match, this games not only with 3 points achievement but will be most crucial achievement if can't defeat Real Madrid at Bernabeu.

It's funny to see such quotes on the Clasico, given that the teams came to the game with very different achievements:

2.30 - 3.70 - 2.98

Easy bet on Real. Although I am even more confident in the Real Madrid championship than in winning this particular game. Even if Real by some miracle loses, I will consider it the favorite in the race for the title. Barcelona is weak and will have regular failures.

I still wander how they will cope with Madrid's attacking squad. They will be coordinated in attack but not defending

I am also worried about how Barcelona's defense will stop Real Madrid's attack. Barcelona's Gerrard Pique is currently performing very poorly. Barca is now in big trouble due to injuries to two young defenders. Don't know what will happen in El Clasico. I hope Xavi will find a better way.

[aylabadia05]

Real Madrid and Barcelona this season have almost the same strength. They are unbeaten in five games in La Liga. However, Madrid will certainly lose Thibaut Courtois as the main goalkeeper in El Clasico Oct 16, Week 9.
My initial analysis for this season's El Clasico, I support Barcelona even though they experienced a less than optimal result in the European Champions League.

Rudiger will not play on that match caused by was getting serious injury during his last match with real madrid even though i will still pick real madrid as my favorite in this case caused by the result from the champion league is making team even better.

If Rudiger is certain to be absent against Barcelona, it means that Real Madrid will lose two main players because Thibaut Courtois is also reportedly unable to play. This condition will be good news for Lewandowski as Barcelona's mainstay striker.

Real madrid has complete the target to go to the last 16. that proves that if this team has more capability to win against barcelona in the upcoming match.

If the absence of Rudiger becomes good news for Lewandowski, then the certainty of Real Madrid is safe in the last 16 in UCL it will make Real Madrid a little out of pressure and will be a burden for Barcelona because it is not certain that the top 16 will be secured by them.

[Josefjix]

The bluagrana have seen alot troubles in their UEFEA games and definitely not a good results for them. Barça president, Joan Laporta still have confidence in Xavi Hernandez as a coach that can lead the team to glory. Joan Laporta confidence remains intact despite their previous defeats in the UEFEA game against inter Milan. Now is upto Xavi to grab three points in the El Classico game against real Madrid. Barça have quality players weigh better than the opponents they're facing in their weekend game.

if pique is played when Barca against Madrid then it will be a disaster for Barca. in the match against Inter, it was clear that the first and second goals of Inter were due to Pique's carelessness, reportedly this made Xavi furious. pique is old but unfortunately, he doesn't make the right decisions, center-back is a vital position, and it's a shame he's not playing at his best and it might be difficult to play at his best again like in the past.

[Pulsar77]

It's like most people seem to be so confident about Real Madrid to win against Barcelona. However I don't think that Real Madrid have that much easy job to do in this matchup.

Barcelona's performance in the Champions League shouldn't mislead people. They are showing really different level of performances there and in the La Liga. We have witnessed this so far considering the results Barcelona have got until now. I think that Xavi will prepare the players specially for the El Clasico. This is the most important match of the season for them in the end in terms of prestige also. Winning here or showing a strong level of performance would be a big message to their opponent for the rest of the season. Therefore I think that we will watch a very competitive match and both teams will find goals easily also (1.51 odd is low for a single maybe but a nice one for a multi  ).

For a long time we have seen Pique not being able to perform well. Expect a better performance from an experienced player like Pique. But Barcelona has lost points in several matches only because of Pique's carelessness. Even in the last season, Pique's performance was not as good as expected. I would say Pique should be in voluntary retirement now. If this bad performance continues, he is going to be dropped from the Barcelona squad very quickly. He should perform more carefully.

[usekevin]

We can’t blame the individual play for the entire team loss.Because game is based on the full team effort.We all know the game is defend by some good players.But the fact is,it should be take care by the entire team.The experience players in a team had a responsibility towards the game,their is no doubt on that.But we can’t blame them for the same.Blaming on entire team is the professional Way of scolding a team.Pique current game was bad enough and it happened to all the players.It includes all the top players of the top teams.

Madrid has attack line that is quite dangerous by relying on speed on the counter-attack, so if Xavi doesn't find the right formula to reduce Vinicius, Valverde and also Benzema in scoring goals and then I think Madrid will be very easy to win in the match, especially when Madrid is playing at home which is famous for being haunted and has a hot atmosphere for the opposing team, the loss of several important players in the defensive position will certainly make Barcelona defense quite weak righy now, although In terms of attack I have no doubt that Barcelona also has a sharp attack with Lewandowski but still Barcelona need to balance the two lines well "Attacking and Defending" in the El Classico match later.

You're right, it's because they played as a team so it's natural not to blame one or two players for a bad result.
Regarding Barcelona's recent draw in the Champions League, many people judged that Barcelona's defense was very poor and not ready to prevent Inter from scoring.

At one point it was true, but Xavi was actually responsible for this poor result as he shouldn't have put more faith in De Jong or Kessie from the first half instead of Busquets. Balde or Alba should have been good to keep Alonso on the bench, but Xavi gave Alonso an opportunity that somehow left Barcelona short of attacking power on the left. Alonso and Pique are not fast, but they have decent skills to be expected to do well in easy match. Surprisingly, every time Xavi gave Alonso a chance since the first half in 3 Champions League matches, Barcelona failed to win the match.

Now all eyes are on Laliga's most prestigious match, El Clasico. I chose a draw for that match, but since Real Madrid are playing at home then they can probably be expected to be more excited for the result. Like I said, both teams play to win and about the outcome then I'll never really make a guess.

Will Rudiger still play against Barcelona ?
He was injured badly against the Ukrainian side
I didn't watch bit saw the video how bad could it be

Rudiger will most likely play in the Barcelona game. He will have to wear a mask from what I read. The injury was bad indeed and required treatment but it won't prevent him to play thankfully.
The problem with Real Madrid is that Courtois will not be available due to his back pain.. This will put a lot of charge and pressure on his substitute, hopefully he can stand vs Lewandowski and the others!
