La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[hd49728]

The 3-0 win ensured that Barcelona caught up with leaders Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. They are still three points behind Los Blancos thanks to the El Clasico result, but now have a better goal difference by three.

Overall it was a comfortable win for the Blaugrana, who returned to winning ways in the best possible way, following their loss in El Clasico.

El Classico does not decide who is winner of La Liga but it is important. More important and would decide the title winner. I don't see how Barcelona will beat Real Madrid in this dual competition. Maybe we have to wait for a tighter dual race in the next season when Gavi, Pedri and Ansu Fati will be more matured and can contribute more for Barcelona.

In this game you saw how strong Barcelona is, an easy 3:0 and Lewandowski again with 2 goals. Vs. Real Madrid they did not have this chance, Real are too strong and currently also stronger than Barcelona. Barcelona has changed in the game against Villareal on 5 positions, other players at the beginniung and it worked after 30 minutes and the first goal in minute 31. After that it got better from minute to minute.

Barcelona can not rely on Lewandowski to find 3 points in all matches of the season. They need more contributions especially important goals from other players. Remember Lewandowski is no longer young and even he still can play well, his body might cause an injury anytime at his age.

They must reduce the dependence on Lewandowski and allow him more time to rest in each match if possible. It will help Lewandowski avoid exhaustion and injury as well as give more chances to other players to contribute and grow up.

Barcelona's board of directors won't be too quick in firing Xavi following his quick intervention on the clubs performance last season and on average his performance in the laliga this season isn't bad. It might be sad to see Barcelona decline in performance in the Champions League which has triggered lots of hate reaction from fans but to be frank i have this positivity Xavi can turn things around this dying minutes against Bayern and Viktora Pizén. Inter might not have what it takes to win Bayern but for barcelona there is always hope of a comeback.

Not all coaches can win titles in their first or second season at a big club, I firmly believe that. Xavi is a good coach for Barcelona at the moment, but about the unsatisfactory results in the last 3 Champions League games I think it's just a factor of luck. The reason is that several players have suffered injuries which have harmed their defense.

Supporters are natural to be disappointed, but it was not a highly desired result as the team did their best to win the match. They also need to know that teams like Bayern and Inter are teams that need to win, they also don't want to lose so fans may need to acknowledge the strengths of other teams at the moment instead of blaming the players and coaches. Had Barcelona not been in group C, maybe the result would have been different, but unfortunately Barcelona had to quickly get a strong opponent in the group stage.

You are correct. Lewandowski needs to be rested occasionally. Because the way he is serving Barcelona even at this age is really admirable. But if he plays without rest, he can get injured anytime which can be bad for the team. So Xavi should think about this.

However, Barca need to adjust to new players.

In addition, it is very natural that Barcelona fans demand high expectations. But they also have to be aware of how the condition of the squad from the Catalan team has been in recent years.

~snip~
I don't think it's appropriate for Xavi to be addressed as the worst coach because Barcelona this season in La Liga is still in good form despite having poor results in the Champions League.

LOL. Anyone can judge, but I think Xavi is bad not in all matches. If you compare all that to the Koeman Era I totally agree with you. They have risen and they are better, although at the moment they have a lot of star players all need time. It's hard to change teams in just one night. It should be that the observers are more observant, Xavi's statistics are increasing. Perhaps if at the end of the season they don't have the title, it could be a reason for the supporters to insult Xavi.

Maybe only some of the observers provide analysis by ignoring the foresight in seeing clear statistics because they don't like Barcelona. We don't have to blame them, because slowly they will know what Xavi has made.
The result of last night's match vs Villarreal again showed that Xavi was the right person that Laporta chose to become Barcelona coach.

The 3-0 win ensured that Barcelona caught up with leaders Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. They are still three points behind Los Blancos thanks to the El Clasico result, but now have a better goal difference by three.

Overall it was a comfortable win for the Blaugrana, who returned to winning ways in the best possible way, following their loss in El Clasico.

To be honest yesterday I thought Villarreal could stand up to Barcelona, but I was wrong. They are really doing well as a team.   I thought that after the tough games against Real Madrid and Inter Barcelona had no strength left, and that Villarreal could beat them, as it was in the previous away match. But Xavi was able to set up the game correctly and so far Barcelona have not lost motivation.

You are right. But a win against such a team does not give us satisfaction. Because when Barcelona play the big teams they get caught again like before. So Xavi should not game plan against teams like Villarreal, think about what he can do against big teams, and not work hard for the smaller teams when he can beat the big teams.

[blue_hurricanger]

Exactly right mate. Xavi is the figure who will run Barcelona's long-term project. Those who suspect that Xavi will be fired may not be because of the results obtained in La Liga but of the results obtained by Barcelona in the Champions League.

I'm sure it wasn't on the fans' minds that Xavi would be sacked from Barcelona. Xavi revived Barca's game after performing poorly last season. came and brought a change, and ended the season well. and the decline in performance in the Champions League should not be the reason for Xavi's dismissal.
if that is done, the president of Barcelona will have to look at the club's problems and shortcomings. Xavi has tried hard last season with the existing squad to perform optimally. Not to mention the issue of unfinished player salaries. Of course, Xavi is working hard to keep the game on a good track.

I'm not surprised if there are rumors that Xavi's career will end at Barcelona, ​​it's part of the risk of all coaches if they experience a series of bad results.

now, it's time to bounce back for Barcelona, ​​picking up an important win after a run of bad results last week.
a landslide victory over Villareal, should be a positive signal for Barcelona after being hit by a very disappointing result last week.  Xavi continued to use the same formation as 4-3-3, but what caught my attention in this match was Raphinha, Dembele, Busquets, sitting on the bench.

this time I like to see Xavi put De Jong as the main starter. although De Jong played as Pivot, replacing Sergio Busquets, the decision paid off, De Jong was impressive and Xavi should have given him plenty of opportunities to play.

with this result, Barcelona reduce the distance with the leaders of the La Liga standings.

Soccer tabloids love to speculate about this coach who got fired after a few bad matches, this coach going to sign up with a high-profile club, day is number for the old coach. Some dumb reader might find those tabloids and rumors interesting. But most of us, fans of Barcelona understand how Xavi had come and changed the team, those were rubbish. So far, Barcelona has had to give up the Champions League and this is expected. In La Liga, Barcelona is still in good standing, only behind Real Madrid. With one or two hiccups from Real Madrid, they might take the top of La Liga.

[ShowOff]

Barcelona can not rely on Lewandowski to find 3 points in all matches of the season. They need more contributions especially important goals from other players. Remember Lewandowski is no longer young and even he still can play well, his body might cause an injury anytime at his age.

They must reduce the dependence on Lewandowski and allow him more time to rest in each match if possible. It will help Lewandowski avoid exhaustion and injury as well as give more chances to other players to contribute and grow up.

It's okay, I think Lewandowski still seems capable of doing it at his age. But you're right, Barcelona should also have some other goalscorers where they shouldn't be so dependent on Lewandowski's goals. I can think about Ferran, Ansu Fati, Raphinha or Dembele, but they didn't score much but contributed a lot to Barcelona's goals at the moment.

Xavi needs to get Dembele, Ferran and Raphinha to shoot more at goal and score goals, I see it now but their success rate has not matched Lewandowski. It might take a lot of effort to have a high percentage of success on finishing, so they have to work hard for it.

Week 11 will open by the top Laliga team
Real Madrid as the leader of the standings will play against Sevilla tomorrow. Even though Sevilla have been poor this season but last season they were one of the best teams in Laliga, Madrid need to be aware of that.
Real Sociedad, currently in 3rd place in the standings will visit Stadion Nuevo Jose Zorrilla
So far Real Madrid still has a chance to get full points tomorrow, as well as Sociedad because Valladolid's performance is still not convincing enough to give Sociedad a defeat.

Many fans have high expectations of Barcelona, ​​but I think that's too cheeky. The reason is clear, Xavi is building his team and is constantly trying to give the best out of every match they play, but they didn't expect success to come so quickly for a team previously dying of financial problems and poor form. It takes time and sacrifice, just enjoy the upgrade.

Barcelona's best move was to sign Lewandowski. He is playing a huge role for Barcelona. He managed to score 2 goals alone against Villarreal. Also, if Lewandowski can be supported by the rest of the Barcelona players, he will do better for the team.

Barcelona fans as what you said are aware of their condition but it is also natural for them to have high expectations because it is Barca. Xavi has done a great job so far rebuilding the team and they are now in the second place behind rival Real Madrid.

After a disappointing week they are back. This is the first La Liga game that the Yellow Submarine allowed more than 1 goal in 10 games. Barcelona showed that they are a different level. Once Inter Milan wins over Viktoria Plzen and drops Barcelona out of the Champions League, it gives more room for Xavi to focus on the Spanish League. That is also attainable because they are only three points behind Real Madrid.   

[Velvet78]

Real Betis failed to win against Cadiz with a drawn result, fortunately, Atletico Madrid also had a drawn match, so their position is still the same.
Their similar point 20 should make each of them try hard in every match, but I don't know why the two couldn't make it. Well, the next match between Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid will become the match that determines the position. The one that wins will be in the higher position. Or will they be drawn match?

Betis don't have a good luck against Atletico Madrid in the recent years. I mean that they couldn't beat Atletico Madrid in their last three head-to-head home games and lost two of them as well. Now Atletico Madrid's recent form is better than them even though the general statistics are almost the same. There are some interesting statistics also. Betis are the best home team now with 5 wins in 5 games. Atletico Madrid are the second best away team with 4 wins and 1 draw.

Taking all of these into account, it is still hard to make a choice for the result. Therefore I'd rather betting on both teams to score @1.95 as I believe that we will see a productive game.

Xavi continues to do his best for Barcelona. Although various negative issues arose against him after achieving a series of poor results in the Champions League. Xavi's position as coach of the Blaugrana in my opinion is still safe, because Lewandowski still looks impressive in La Liga and is still in tight competition with his eternal rival Real Madrid. However, Barca need to adjust to new players.

Lewandowski is a striker that is not common in La Liga with too powerful fitness. Therefore clubs there have difficulty to prevent him scoring goals. He is still one of best strikers even his age is no longer young. With Lewandowski, give him half of a chance, he will be able to score goals.

Many fans have high expectations of Barcelona, ​​but I think that's too cheeky. The reason is clear, Xavi is building his team and is constantly trying to give the best out of every match they play, but they didn't expect success to come so quickly for a team previously dying of financial problems and poor form. It takes time and sacrifice, just enjoy the upgrade.

They are unrealistic about the strength and competitiveness of Barcelona. They must recall just one and two seasons ago, there were a crisis in Barcelona. It was resolved by Xavi in second half of the past season. Xavi came and reunited their players, improved their performance and at the end, magically they finished at the second position. That achievement makes Barcelona fans think that their club is strong enough to win La Liga. It is not true and unrealistic for a club that is rebuilding like Barcelona.

[Ratash]

With barcelona easy win over villareal yesterday they managed to stay in the title run i think that game was the most important of the season because it was a turning point after losing pretty much all their chances to qualify for the champions league, losing points after real madrid win in this round would've been a disaster i think with three points difference they still has a good chance of dethroning real madrid as leaders.

Xavi can close bad achievement at Champion League by impressive performance at domestic league although get loss from rival Real Madrid last two week at el clasico. Regardless with almost close chance qualify to 16 round at Champion League I think his position keep safe what achievement at domestic league and left 3 points behind from Real Madrid at standings.

Normally with fans have bigger expected with Xavi actually on Champion League after failure last season become first history around Barcelona participants at Champion League can't qualify to 16 round. Seems almost the same thing with this season at Champion League and looks fans expected to see Barcelona get glory at Champion League almost close early.

[GxSTxV]

Yesterday match between Barcelone and Villarreal was so interesting since the whole three goals were scored in 7 minutes and then nothing happened interesting, xavi could calm things out with fans since they all are asking him to step out of the lead of Barcelone since the last match against inter milan which complicated things for accessing the next stage in champions league, this win is just made Barcelone behind Real Madrid with 3 points as difference. I hope to see more confidence being gained by xavi and the fans with much better results in the next matches to come

Week 11 will open by the top Laliga team
Real Madrid as the leader of the standings will play against Sevilla tomorrow. Even though Sevilla have been poor this season but last season they were one of the best teams in Laliga, Madrid need to be aware of that.
Real Sociedad, currently in 3rd place in the standings will visit Stadion Nuevo Jose Zorrilla
So far Real Madrid still has a chance to get full points tomorrow, as well as Sociedad because Valladolid's performance is still not convincing enough to give Sociedad a defeat.

Week 11 will be opened by a match between Rayo Vallecano v Cadiz, even Real Madrid will just play after the previous three matches. Apart from that, Real Madrid will still have a chance to get full points. Because apart from Sevilla who still haven't fully recovered, Sevilla will also play away which of course will not be easy for Sevilla to be able to hold Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. Also, the odds that are currently available are 1.36 : 4.75 : 8.50, so it is clear that Real Madrid is predicted to win and I have no doubts about it.

Regarding the match between Valladolid v Real Sociedad, on paper, of course Real Sociedad will win, because Real Sociedad's five away matches so far this season have won four and lost once. But Valladolid is still pretty good so far according to their level, and Valladolid can't be underestimated at all. Because even, head to head Real Sociedad is not always smooth or not easy to get a win when playing against Valladolid and in the previous match as well, Valladolid can win big with a score of 4-1 by beating Celta Vigo.

Barcelona's performance is very promising in the domestic league, from ten matches that have been played Barcelona managed to collect 25 points, they only lost once and drew once, but unfortunately in the Champions League their performance is inversely proportional to the domestic league, in the Champions League Barcelona is still stuck in third place standings and only able to collect four points, it is very possible that Xavi's men this season should be thrown back into the European league for the second time, after being held to a draw by Inter in the second leg of the Champions League. , after Barcelona were eliminated from the Champions League Barcelona must fully focus on playing in the domestic league, they must be able to get the Spanish league champion this season and must be able to beat Real Madrid in the hunt for the domestic league title this season.

Having almost certainly been eliminated from the Champions League, Xavi must be able to answer the doubts of the fans with a victory in La Liga dedicated to Barcelona. Xavi has no other choice, he cannot fail again in La Liga or the Europa League if knocked out of the Champions League.

Xavi's performance is still very good in my opinion, even though Barcelona failed in the Champions League but in La Liga he is not certain to fail. Victory over Villarreal keeps their chances of winning the title at the end of the season, Barcelona need to cut three points off Real Madrid and they must be able to overtake Real Madrid at the top of the table.

Barcelona's biggest rival right now is I think Real Madrid. Barcelona have the ability to beat all the other teams in La Liga, but they have been defeated by Real Madrid time and time again. Xavi's main reason now will be to plan how to beat Real Madrid, something the club desperately needs.
