La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Against Valencia I think Barcelona will not be difficult to win the match, but of course they cannot be underestimated especially because they are playing in front of thousands of fans. Valencia's spirit cannot be underestimated, so Barcelona need to be aware of the worst in that match. It's a good thing if Barcelona wins the match against Bayern Munich because it will make modd players to continue to win other matches.

in the last 5 matches played by valencia, they only got 1 win while Barca only suffered 1 defeat against Madrid only, the strengths of the two are very much different, so Barca is the favorite team to win in this match. I agree with what you said, Barca should be able to win the match against Bayern later so that the players' mentality is maintained and stable.

Valencia's performance has been quite good this season. But I don't think they can pick up points against opponents like Barcelona. Barcelona is a very strong team. However, Valencia's main goal in this match will be to draw the match and share the points. Barcelona's attack must play well. Barcelona will fail to get three points against Valencia if the attacking players do not perform well.

playing in the Camp Nou wasn't a good omen for Athletic de Bilbao. A draw or victory would've been very helpful to stay in the top five, but now they are sixth with the same points as the following, Villarreal, after losing 4-0 against Barça.

Maybe the third position was too much for a team like that, but who knows, some times a team has to let the fans dream big.

I always respected Bilbao a lot, we are talking about a team that only gets player one certain region, and nobody else as far as I know, and they still manage to do great even with that.

Many teams try to find players from all over the world and they are still not as good as Bilbao even with that, sure Bilbao has a good amount of money to buy those players, but other teams have the whole world they could choose players from and they still not do as well as Bilbao. Sure they lost now, but if you ask me, any season Bilbao stays in La Liga with their current set of rules for players they get, is a big achievement in itself and I do not see it going any other way.

Totally agree. As I posted a few weeks ago in this same thread, their policy for selecting players is one of the most restrictive in the world (if not the most). Simplifying a lot, you have to be Basque in order to play in the team (in its broadest definition: Navarreses and Basque-frenchs are welcome); otherwise, you could still qualify to play in Athletic Club, if you were trained in sports in a Basque quarry.

On the other hand, they have never in their entire history been downgraded, so it is more than 100 years that they have stayed playing in the first division, or La Liga. It is a merit worthy of recognition.

Real Madrid will host Girona at the Bernabeu stadium this week. Girona itself is now in 17th position in the standings just one level above the relegation zone now occupied by Getafe, Cadiz and Elche. Judging from anywhere this match is very clear will belong to Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will travel to Valencia this week with a winning mission. When compared to the opponents that Real Madrid will face, Barcelona's opponents this time are stronger. But I still have faith in Barcelona that they will take home 3 points from the Mestalla Stadium.

The interesting thing is that neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona are allowed to make a mistake. In that case, either they will equalise or Barcelona will be 3 points further away, and they clearly don't want that, you can see it in their eyes. I'll be watching the Barcelona vs Valencia match, obviously this match is much more interesting than the cream match, even though the winners are more than clear

if barca wants to get closer to madrid points then the other solution is that they must be able to excel on goal difference from madrid, currently the goal difference between the two doesn't look much different even though barca is scoring more goals

madrid is an amazing team, in laliga only barca can compete with them, no other team is capable so that's barca's hope is madrid had bad luck and lost to an unexpected team in la league, although the chance is small it can happen

The difference of 5 goals at this time does not make anything because Barcelona are still losing 3 points to Madrid.
It depends on how they don't lose consistency because once they don't play well then their points gap will definitely change.
For Real Madrid, it's still quite safe now because they don't need to think about the Champions League because they have already qualified but it's different from Barcelona.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have impressed in Laliga so far with only 3 points adrift between 1 & 2 positions.
Real Madrid seems to be safe to get 3 points in the next match considering that Girona is not a very strong opponent to make Real Madrid drop points.

Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​who has now recovered from the El Clasico defeat, also seems to have a good chance of being favorites in the match against Valencia. Here Barcelona is superior in terms of quality and consistency of the match even if they fail to win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League matchday 5.

The probability of both teams Real Madrid or Barcelona both winning, so it's not really surprising if these two teams both win in their respective match this weekend.

It is in times as these that the magic of Messi would have played to pivotal role in ensuring a sure winning against Valencia. Any lapses on the Barca side is sure to make their closest contender, Real Madrid to have a clapse grasp on the cup.  Real Madrid have solid games ahead, and they are the most favoured team also to contend as final champion of the title.
This weekend however got better thoughts for the big teams in their various matches this weekend. Let's hope Barca recovered well after their last defeat and are able to have found a way to compensate for that in tactics and substitutions.

Rayo vallecano played incredible. Cadis didn't even exist in the face of this pressure. Vallecano even scored an own goal because Cadiz couldn't score
Sociedad lost a game in which they played better. Playing with 75% possession and not finding a goal seems to mean that the offensive line is inadequate.
Real madrid beat sevilla 3-1 and extended their unbeaten run for another week. After taking 3 points with 3 goals, madrid is progressing flawlessly.

Really what was this match? All the goals from only one side and also multiple red cards. There was complete chaos in this match. Cadiz looks like they were just taking part in that match. The match was completely dominated by Rayo Vallecano. Obviously, 3 red cards in one match are unexpected. At one point it felt like I was watching a WWE match .

Anyway, Cadiz is not improving their performance and it does not feel like they will be able to get out of the relegation zone anytime soon. I am not going to be surprised if they actually get relegated this season.

Rayo Vallecano is in 10th position on the table. They are supposed to be a mid-table team in my opinion. And I think they are doing quite well by their standards.

Getafe Vs celta Vigo, the way I'm observing this match it seems that Getafe will win this match because celta Vigo is making a serious impact to score goal, i from the beginning my prediction was that celta Vigo will win or they draw the match because of the line up. It will be at of struggling before celta can equalize this match with this method of the team. Let us check before the remaining twenty minutes that left if they will be able to score 1 goal to equalize, scores celta Vigo 0: 1 Getafe

[Doell]

Celta vigo played an effective game last time out but couldn't capitalize on their chances and had to concede defeat. This time, as the hosts, they will be able to score against Getafe. They are already considered favorites, which is normal.
Real madrid and barcelona seem to be in a good race this year. There is only one win difference between them.

So far, home "Celta Vigo" continue try to take advantage of opportunities to scored, but it's not easy and same with your post regarding in their last game, happening again today at this matches. Interest, on the other side Getafe had opportunity to score, and as a result they away team managed to win in the first half with Enes Unal as the executor in this match. The match in 10 minutes will end at this time 0-1, "Getafe" if they win this match they will sit in 13th position.

Good come back from celta vigo and match has ended with 1-1 draw. Celta should win this match as they were favorite and it was their home ground. If we consider about recent natches, Getafe is playing good. Getafe scored a goal first and at the last moment of this match celta had managed to score a goal to equalize the match. Overall good statistics from the end of celta vigo.

The difference of 5 goals at this time does not make anything because Barcelona are still losing 3 points to Madrid.

For Real Madrid, it's still quite safe now because they don't need to think about the Champions League because they have already qualified but it's different from Barcelona.

Goal difference is unlikely to be of any significance as it is only the third indicator for determining the La Liga champion if points are equal:

- result in face-to-face meetings - points;

- result in face-to-face meetings - goal difference;

- total goal difference;

- the number of goals scored in all games.

- fair play.

Although, theoretically, Real and Barcelona can go on a par, and if Barcelona wins 3-1 in the return game, the situation will be completely equalized. In the Champions League, Barcelona has one fundamental game left - against Bayern, apparently there is no chance of reaching the playoffs, but Bayern must be beaten to overcome this complex.

[shogun47]

Real Madrid is in an extremely favorable position right now. Being rank 1, not having lost a single game and only one tie also demoralizes the opponent and now when they get the chance to play first and win, Barcelona knows that they can't even make up any points but essentially only do their job and not lose. Psychologically that is an edge to Real Madrid.

The clasico was kind of a tipping point to me. Up until then it was very even, but now Real can raise the pressure weekend after weekend. That's tough in La Liga as you know that the likelihood for the two top teams to give away games when they have a massive streak is very low.

I won't feel reluctant to call Real Madrid the best team in the whole of Europe. They have built quite a reputation for themselves. In the game against Sevilla I expected better from Sevilla because they started the game well and were able to equalize with a nice goal from Lamela before half time but failed to convert vital chances to keep them ahead and ended up losing the game and losing all three points to Real Madrid. Thanks to assists from Vinicius to give them upper hand in the game.

This is not quite the time to make judgments about the absolute best team in Europe. I would probably wait for a couple of final round Champions League games.

Apart from that how would you make a difference between Real Madrid and Manchester City at this point? How would you argue that aspect X or Y makes Real Madrid the better team? Because they haven't lost a game thus far? Well, La Liga isn't that strong and winning a clasico at home is of course possible for such a strong team. But does that make Real better than City? I hope we will find out soon and see the two meet each other in the CL games again. That would be amazing for many reasons

[nurilham]

I didn't expect Real Madrid to lose points, since Sevilla was bad this season, I thought Real would win easily and they won. Barcelona is doing well. Despite losing the Real match, they are doing well in other matches. In the weekday match, they finished the job in 8 minutes.

I also thought that Real Madrid of course would win. But they always make our hearts flutter with temporary results. And towards the end of the match, for some reason, their game seemed to change and immediately gave a sharp offense, so they often scored goals at the end of the match.

Barcelona, this one club did not give up after losing in El Classico. They continue to improve their performance every day. And it's proven again that they are really good, beating Athletic Club by scoring 4 goals without reply.

[alpamar99]

This season Dembele is not labeled as a player who only spends money with zero performance again because apart from his injury storm which seems to have stopped, his potential clearly looks better than before.

Yes. This season, he has many chances to play, and he spent many times on the bench previously.
Since he already plays regularly, he looks to improve his confidence and can contribute better this season.
He plays at his best now.

Last season compared to playing he was more busy with his condition which is always prone to injury so it took a long time for him to recover. But now it seems a little different.
Apart from that he is not as strong as before because his legs are stronger on the other hand his current performance is still quite good and of course this is thanks to Xavi's cold hands

[nara1892]

Actually I don't see Barcelona not taking their Champions League game seriously. Because of the results of their last two matches because a lot of players who are usually the first choice can't play because of the injuries they have. It is very difficult for them to qualify from this group stage because they have to finish 2 matches with a win, and also the result of the Inter Milan match will be very decisive for their next step in the Champions League. It would take a lot of magic to see Barcelona qualify for the knockout phase.

Barcelona really want to go as farthest as possible in Champions League because it means they will have more income to heal their finance crisis. I don't think it is a good explanation to blame all on injuries. Opponents of Barcelona did not have their best players for their matches too and all clubs must be able to cover injured players and achieve good results for their clubs.

Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are well deserved to go next in this group. Sorry but see Barcelona next season even it is bad to not have them in Champions League after next two match days.

The problem is that Xavi is too focused on their core players so indeed when some of their players get injured it becomes like a setback for Xavi.
Even though it seems like they are looking for excuses by saying Injuries to players, but whether they realize it or not, this has an impact on them. It's difficult when you look at their current condition, it's clear that there is a real difference when their main players play and when they are injured.

I think they are currently spending a lot of money, of course the expectations are high but with the current conditions they are gambling to return to losing money this season from a financial point of view.

Dembele is a player who is not very stable so he is mostly put on the bench, his big contribution in the match against bilbao made many people surprised and did not expect that Dembele would perform so well. xavi must continue to play dembele so that he is sharper, his style of play is very compatible with Lewandowski.

[Velvet78]

Atletico Madrid are following the Real Madrid - Barcelona duo behind for now. They have really made a big progress in the league on the recent weeks. They didn't lose for five weeks and won four of those games.

Actually they didn't make a good start at first. It was like this season would be even worse for Atletico Madrid. But Simeone has started to make up for that bad start by the recent results. However I still doubt them about being capable of getting points from teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. Because those two teams are at another level compared to the rest of the teams in the league. They aren't unbeatable of course but it is still hard to do so considering their forms.

Basically, any coach relies on some players in the game of his team and Xavi is no exception here. It is the injuries of several of his main players that Antonio Conte is now referring to as an excuse for his Tottenham's two consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Any coach would dream of having two or even three equivalent squads to rotate between them in case of injury to their key players, but that's why they are key players, that there can't be too many of them. If there are too many of them, then problems of the psychological climate in the team may begin, resentments of players on the amount of playing time. As for finances, the coming years will continue to be very difficult for Barcelona and the very likely failure of the team to reach the Champions League playoff stage will also not greatly contribute to the financial recovery of the club. On the other hand, in my opinion, the club's management is making the most of the strength of the signed players and therefore Xavi should at least claim the title in La Liga and no one will accept discounts for injured players.

Atletico Madrid are following the Real Madrid - Barcelona duo behind for now. They have really made a big progress in the league on the recent weeks. They didn't lose for five weeks and won four of those games.

Yes, they have made various improvements to some of the problems they experienced at the beginning of the season. Atletico is now increasingly showing that they are a big club, especially after they were able to win the match against Real Betis.
But unfortunately, they still haven't looked so satisfying in UCL matches, so they have to be in 3rd place. But that doesn't mean they don't have a chance.

The interesting thing is that neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona are allowed to make a mistake. In that case, either they will equalise or Barcelona will be 3 points further away, and they clearly don't want that, you can see it in their eyes.

Exactly, even if they make a mistake, then their position is really threatened, and one of them could be overtaken. This season is really more interesting than last season because until now we still can't say for sure who will be the winner of La Liga. Who knows what will happen in the future?
