La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[iamsange]

In La Liga, the only competitors are Barcelona and Real Madrid . Every year someone from Real Madrid and Barcelona is crowned champion but the English Premier League is much more varied than La Liga. It is difficult to say when any team will be the champion here. However, Barcelona is not less than Real Madrid at this stage. Now Barcelona is a full strength team. However, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in the last match and proved that Real Madrid is the best so far.

Indeed the rivalry for the title in the La Liga has mostly been between Real Madrid and Barcelona and that makes it less fun and less intensed and competitive unlike in the English Premier league where you have up to 5 teams every competing every season for the trophy and that is why the league is so competitive and interesting and it is difficult to say who will win from the beginning.

Yes, La Liga is already closely related to Madrid and Barca so that the public is often tired of watching the competition between the two. If it's not an El Clasico match, then don't expect there will be spectators outside Spain. Commercially, La Liga also felt the impact, so that La Liga became not so popular, then coupled with the departure of two Superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, it certainly had an impact on La Liga's rating.

I am also sure about Barcelona's next match that they will beat Athletic Club. Because Barcelona are in great form in La Liga. Lewandowski, one of the players in their team, is able to score goals. Since Atlético Club will come to Camp Nou, Barcelona will have the advantage and beat Atlético Club.

La liga is something else, they are doing very well on La Liga that's true but we are not seeing the same team on UCL for some reason. Bayern didn't do so well in the league at the start, certainly when they beat Barcelona they weren't doing that well, neither did Inter, they are not doing so well in Serie A but both of them managed to beat Barcelona who is doing well in La liga.

This is a big problem, they have spent so much money and sold so many things to build this club, they can't just be good in la liga, which is still unknown and Real could be champions, so being like this is not enough at all for them, they need to be a lot better and show dominance for sure.

Actually, I don't think so, because last season was an easy win for Madrid and now is a turning point for Barcelona and of course many eyes will be waiting to see if this season Barcelona can make La Liga as competitive as several seasons ago because you can see from several seasons after that. lost some of their great players Barcelona is like a very different club and last season was the worst season even though in the end they can fix it.

Campaign? Why and where do you see a so called campaign?

Do I have to define to you what a campaign means? Come on.

I think people mostly look at their screens, see some games from the teams, know the players and their shape very well and then give their educated guess. I think there can't be much doubt that Manchester City has always been at least among the top favorites, but it is also a fact that the teams are very close to each other anyway. We don't watch soccer because one team wins 10-0 all the time.

Let's say what is happening in the Champion's league right now being similar to England being top favorites ahead of record Champions Brazil because of the media hype they have... Oh, well, at least England had some history from 1966. Let's use USA as an example. Do you see it making any sense?

Meanwhile, every success that Brazil tries to achieve. They just call it luck  

Real has had a phase where they really didn't play very well. Without the lucky punches it would have been over, but they got their lucky punch.

"Lucky Punch"
Some of you people really amaze me. I wonder if some of you folks even ever played football at a competitive level. This is no dice game, more or so if the winner emerges after a full tournament(s)

20 years ago, Haaland and Mbappe would already be playing for Real Madrid together. Money changed a lot of things and it might keep changing things even further.

You certainly don't know Real Madrid's transfer policy was 20 years ago. Stop making guess work.

Better season this year for Haaland or Benzema? I think Haaland, but might Benzema be the decisive striker in a game between them? Of course that could be the case, but if I had to choose (the billion dollars you know), I would go with Haaland.

Let's leave that for the end of season to decide. There are a lot of factors to consider, including injury.

Actually laliga used to have 3 strong title contender every single season , atletico madrid just lack of consistency and as for the result they are slowly forgotten to be recognized as one of the best .. it,s real madrid and barcelona only which yeah it's unhealthy for any competition especially la liga.

We will see later at the end of the season will be there a shocking / surprising club climbing through pass the twi great real madrid & barcelona .

Yesterday Barcelona defeated an important rival Villareal. After the defeat to Real Madrid, it was a good result for the fans of Barcelona to win such a match. Barcelona were the better and more dominant side. They had plenty of chances and didn't give their opponents many chances. As a result, defeat for Villareal was inevitable.
Yesterday's other enjoyable match in the Spanish league was between almeria and Girona. Almeria led 3-0 at half time. In the second half we saw a completely different Girona and if they had scored the penalty they missed, maybe it would have ended in a draw.

About Barcelona. I don't think this is an opponent to be trifled with, obviously they've beaten them especially given the current form of the Catalans. The defeat to Real is disappointing, but that doesn't mean the championship race is over, they go after each other and it will probably last until the end of the season, maybe Real will make a mistake somewhere

I will not take yesterday game too seriously

We shall see how they take down on German elephants Bayern Munich for the champions league game

The competition will be running until the end of season. The team that will be collecting the highest points will become a winner. there are only three points gap to the real madrid. If real madrid was getting lose in one game and it will give a chance for barcelona to surpass it.
There are no reason for barcelona to surrender caused by there are almost a half of season remaining. The chance for barcelona to surpass real madrid may come anytime. The only chance for barcelona waiting real to make a mistake in one of its game or getting draw in a row.

Real Madrid are going to host Sevilla tomorrow and I believe that it is the match of the week as well.

The odds are favouring Real Madrid incredibly highly and this is no surprise obviously. Sevilla have made one of their worst starts to the La Liga in the recent years. A manager change followed this but Sampaoli still needs some time to know this team closely and make things better. They really don't have much chance against Real Madrid in this match. If it was going to be played in Sevilla then maybe they would have been able to get a draw at least. But it is difficult to stop an in-form Real Madrid these days. I don't think Real Madrid would rotate the squad even a little either.

They will never able to take down bayern. bayern is far better compared with barcelona. it can be seen from the history between both. Real madrid is the only capable team that able to beat bayern in any case. The play style from bayern has been countering the tiki taka strategy for barcelona. it seems like that if people were trying to see barcelona to go all in the upcoming match against bayern. It's caused by that's only chance for barcelona.

Sevilla have had a mediocre to disappointing season, but can show how good they can still be at Real Madrid this week. Real Madrid the favourite, but Sevilla is normally one of the few teams that can give Real Madrid a loss of points. The match is in Madrid, which makes a difference. Barcelona will have to continue to show their good game and make sure they don't run into another defeat. It will be a race between Madrid and Barcelona, other teams will soon be behind. Barcelona should actually do something in the competition, because the elimination in the CL is also unacceptable for many Catalans.

Sevilla do not stand a chance, they are not as good as they were in previous seasons, their poor performance this season says it all. Facing Real Madrid will be a tough one for Sevilla and a test to evaluate their improvement level but I see the match as another easy three points win for Real Madrid. Ancelloti will be confident going into the match against a weaker side.

Judging from their performance this season, especially for the last few games, it is clear that this is very difficult for Sevilla because they have mostly drawn there.
The last 5 matches with 3 draws, 1 win and 1 loss are clearly inversely proportional to Madrid's performance which has 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 matches.

The history will not repeat again. I think that you shall forget it and then move on. The new era has begun. Messi has gone to the PSG and he was also become even older. There's no choice rather than giving the young talented player so many chances.
Barcelona needs to do more regeneration but it will not find the player like messi again. Messi was messi. There will be no another messi to come.

Indeed, they should do this, they should not focus on short achievements, what they should do is build the foundation for the team to last a long time. And thus they will find it easier to pursue achievements if the team is formed strongly. What I see now is that many people expect Barcelona to excel even though they have just woken up from adversity.

The team from Barcelona are already very superior in attack but when talking about defenders or often referred to as their defense players are still weak, this is an important point to add or replace defenders in the transfer market later in January 2023 Xavi must look for defenders with above average skills.

About strengthening the protection and buying new players there sounds quite controversial. On the one hand, of course there are no limits to perfection and Barcelona has a place to grow and strengthen and it is necessary to do this constantly. On the other hand, let's not forget that Barcelona's financial problems have not gone away and there are certain limits to which the club can spend money. As far as I know, the club still owes a certain amount to Messi, and the fact that the leaders of Barcelona have been agreeing for the last few years to postpone the payment of their huge salaries does not mean that these salary debts have been forgiven and will not have to be paid later. Therefore, you still need to be realistic and Javi should be able to manage the resources at his disposal.

Agreed, that's why barcelona needs to rotating its defensive players to get the best defensive strategy. I meant once barcelona was facing counter attack and then barcelona will always be facing a very difficult situation. I think that barcelona is not enough with the current defensive players.
there are some news that barcelona wanna try to buy some defensive players in the next transfer season. The defense of barcelona is very weak at this moment. that's why it was loosing against real madrid.

Let's leave that for the end of season to decide. There are a lot of factors to consider, including injury.

Lol... Why would I not know a bit about Real Madrid's transfer policy when Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo played for Real in 2002? They have been buying the superstars whilst educating their own top players. Would the three have played for Real at the same time if sheikh or other business money (for example as in the case of Chelsea) had already entered the sport? THAT is guess work I would say and if I had to place a bet I would bet against it. Manchester City was bought in 2008, PSG in 2011. Mbappe wouldn't be playing for City or PSG now, not ever. Neither would Neymar or Messi. Haaland wouldn't be playing for Manchester City.

I am convinced that back in 2002, that is a good 20 years ago, there would have been a significant chance for Haaland or Mbappe or both to already be playing for Madrid. Not as a replacement for the aforementioned three, that wasn't my point. My point was that money simply changed a lot. We might see that again with Newcastle. How would your history argument apply when such a club wins the Champions League or the PL? It doesn't apply anymore, it's nonsense.

Real Madrid indeed has a history that they are still benefiting from and the reason they still benefit is that they are still sticking to their guns more or less and they manage to support their history and future with constant success. That is why the club is highly attractive besides the money they have. Money, which of course is much less than City (without history) has and much less than Newcastle (with a history) has.

We are not getting the expected performance from Barcelona because of some weaknesses in defense and midfield. They dropped points against Bayern and Inter in the Champions League due to defensive weaknesses and mistakes. Xavi is more focused on his attack and he has strengthened his attack. But Barcelona's defense is still weak. If the defense is not strong, Barcelona will not be champions of La Liga. Barcelona management will probably focus on strengthening their defense in the winter transfer window.

Barcelona defeat in El Clasico was a big loss for them, but Barcelona players did not want to dissolve in the disappointment of being defeated by Real Madrid. Barcelona immediately rose by beating Villarreal with ease. The difference of three points from Real Madrid, who sits in first place, must be a motivation for Barcelona players to always be consistent in every game.
Xavi should not let his guard down in the next match, the victory must always be obtained to maintain the chances of winning. Barcelona have to wait patiently until Real Madrid make a mistake to take over the first place, I think Barcelona can do that if they always give consistent performances.

Barca is in a rotation of players in their defense. they had been strong at the start of the season. but to play consistently, of course, it is impossible for players in the Barca main squad with so many matches.
Barca now has a weakness, and Xavi will of course have to take this into account for the winter transfer window. looking for a formidable defender to become a strong fortress of Barca.

If we look and compare some matches especially in the champions league overall their game is really bad, even though they have ball possession control. however, their form of play was a complete mess. the defense and the midfielders didn't contribute much, their two wingers were completely ineffective.  the results are far from what we expected.

In the match against Villarreal, Xavi really rotated some of his players. especially for De Jong who replaced Busquets, he was able to play loose and play really well.
As a result, Barcelona won the match by a landslide. but this new strategy has not promised anything, in the future we will see how effective Xavi's rotation is in the next match.

Barcelona frontlines is very incredible and they have put numerous goals in their opponents net but they still have issues with their defendlines and problem in the midfield. Xavi should make speedy amendment and good lineups in his squad if he still wants to win games. Let him start the right players like Frankie de jong who have the strength to play in the Midfield, he should be considered a starter. Their defend line have really costs them to concede more goals against teams in the UEFEA and also one of the major errors that leads to them to losing to Real madrid in the El Classico. The defenders are making ter Stegan looking like a flop in champions league games and we all know ter Stegan have been outstanding this season. Barça president, Laporta would make good signings in January transfer window.
