La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Dubaian]

Did not perform well in Real Madrid vs Girona match Real Madrid drew in this match. Real Madrid were the most likely to win the match as all the spectators did not expect the match to be a draw. The players of the Girona team performed very well due to which they were able to draw with Real Madrid. Fortunately, Girona drew with Real Madrid otherwise it would never have been possible even with Real Madrid having so many good stars, this match was a draw. Barcelona team has performed very well as this match of Real Madrid was drawn. Currently, Barcelona is close to Real Madrid's points with Real Madrid's 32 points and Barcelona's 31 points.  But the match with Girona was the most important for Real Madrid to win.

[Slow death]

I bet Real Madrid at this moment, even though I only bet with the handicap option for Real Madrid -1.5 but it still doesn't make me win because Real Madrid have to win 2-0 and previously I thought it would be easy because they are playing at home. But the truth is, it was a very bad choice, and I'm really not saying that they couldn't win because Benzema was unavailable. Lol! Because after all, Real Madrid are playing at home and they only played against Girona a team that didn't have the full strength to hold Real Madrid on paper.

The draw that Real Madrid got in this match made the points gap with Barcelona again tight and by doing so, then of course there is still no guarantee for Real Madrid to have a better chance of winning the title this season. Because after all, Barcelona looks very good in La Liga compared to other tournaments so yes, of course the competition for the title this season is getting very tight because both teams can't keep moving away with a wider points gap.

the truth hurts but we have to say: real madrid without benzema they can't win games, they can even win one and another game just by luck, but if they play too many games without benzema they start to lose points, this happened in last season, i don't bet on real madrid when they are not playing with benzema, now with this draw and if benzema doesn't play then barcelona will pass us and they will be number 1, i had already commented on this in the past that real madrid urgently need to have a great player like benzema who could replace benzema when benzema got injured, mbappe or haaland were good options, but unfortunately we couldn't bring these two players


Osasuna 2 - 0 Real Valladolid

Osasuna won and with that they are in 6th position, this is good news for them

I thought Real Madrid would win this match by a narrow margin. But they did not win. They shared the points. And Toni Kroos received a red card in the 90+1 minutes of the match. Real Madrid has a lot of attempts to score. But it was very difficult for them to score. Girona is not a strong team. Their defence is weak. Even so, it was difficult for Madrid to break down such a weak defence today. Madrid is still not strong enough without Benzema. Rodrygo, Vini and Valverde are talented players but they still lack the ability to win the team at crucial moments. Despite losing points in this match, the Real Madrid team is 1 point ahead of Barcelona.

The match between Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal continues 1-0. With Raul Garcia's assist, Inaki Williams scored a fantastic goal and Athletic Bilbao took the lead in the match. The match is played with a tempo above the standards of the Spanish League. There is a very good fight on the field. There is enthusiasm in San Mames Barria that is worth seeing. Athletic Bilbao conceded 4 goals from Barcelona last week. They had not won in the league for 4 weeks. But in this match they really surprised me by pushing Villareal. Because they haven't had a good performance lately. On the other hand, Villareal are unable to react to bad play. From what I can see in this match, Villarreal will not easily get over Unai Emery's departure.

That is sometimes how those games can go. There is no doubt which of the two contenders the stronger team is, but still on an unlucky day you just can't score. That's the same for Manchester City against some opponents when they fully dominate the game but only win by a narrow margin or don't win at all.

Actually it is good to see Real Madrid leaving some points on the table. We finally have a real fight again between Barcelona and Real Madrid, and as we are talking about Barcelona, that was exactly the opposite: they had the luck and did score in overtime.

Haven't seen the summary yet but would like to know why Kroos had to leave with a red card. I can't even recall whether he ever had a red card before Curious what happened!

[KTChampions]

Xavi, like many other Barcelona fans, says that luck is not on their side (regarding the Champions League), but I would say that in La Liga Barcelona is so close behind Real Madrid only thanks to luck. In yesterday's game, a draw would have been a fair outcome (statistics of shots on target 5-5), but Lewandowski saved Barcelona from losing points in stoppage time.

The outing of Barcelona and Cavi during the Champions League should not be attributed to luck. One can be lucky or hard-luck just once, but champions-league-fixtures happened Home and Away in group matches which gave every club more than four chances to play the match. How come they were unlucky four times and more ? It is totally incompetence, they didn't have good strategies to qualify from the group stage. There is nothing like they were unlucky, if you bring the champions league again this season and with Barcelona in the same group they are they will also not qualify for the second time. It is high time we began to say the truth that Xavi should go and work on the Barcelona team so that we can still experience the Barcelona of old days we used to admire

I have no illusions about Xavi and Barcelona - as a Real Madrid fan, I am satisfied with his work and do not want him to leave   And by the way, I am becoming more and more confident that the time of Tiki Taki has not just passed, but in some sense it never existed. A golden team led by Iniesta and Xavi could dominate the game with other game formations. Xavi as coach tries to repeat the past but it's impossible to do.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid unexpectedly lost points and brought some intrigue to the championship. Let's see how long it will continue.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid unexpectedly lost points and brought some intrigue to the championship. Let's see how long it will continue.

It was nice that there was intrigue in this championship. I thought Real Madrid would go unscathed these weeks. But the most unexpected scenario happened and Barcelona is now in first place in this race. It was obvious that the players in the Real Madrid team were tired from the intense match tempo. Champions league matches, on the one hand, are league matches, so we can say that he had a real difficulty in scoring goals.

[ShowOff]

Of course after the defeat and failure to qualify for the group phase they must still concentrate for the domestic league. Xavi must be able to maximize every game to chase real Madrid's points difference. They are still competing in the laLiga champions, the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup and the Europa League. There are still many trophies that can be obtained even though they are not so interesting. But Xavi certainly has to maximize for the champion, it's one of Xavi's ways to grab the sympathy of Barcelona fans and management. Remember Xavi has bought a lot of big players, so I think many have high hopes for him.

Of course, there are several titles that Barcelona might still get this season if they are able to go through a number of match with a win. Basically the quality of Barcelona's players has improved a lot, their performances are also good and the teamwork is also great, but all that will never guarantee anything about the title. Now the Champions League is gone, so Barcelona will focus on other competitions and the main thing is La Liga.

Yesterday Barcelona managed to get maximum points against Valencia, and something good because Real Madrid today lost 2 points for only drawing against Girona. The difference of one point makes Barcelona tips to make the standings very competitive, of course this will be good to motivate players to work optimally in every match in the future.

[posi]

I don't see Xavi been able to bring at least a trophy at the end of the season though, and I think the club know this. Laporta will still excuse him this season if he doesn't win any trophy but next season will be brutal for him if he fails. To be fair to Xavi, he has done a great job so far if not for some unnecessary team selection and tactics in some games that has cost the team this season. I believe he will be able to pull Barcelona back next season.

The burden that Xavi carried in coaching Barcelona was quite large because Barcelona had a pretty good trend in the previous few seasons and in this season precisely after Barcelona were eliminated from the UCL made Xavi like the number 1 person to be blamed. Xavi does need time to make Barcelona strong again in the competition they are participating in but their strength this season is really not strong in the UCL competition where they have to fall early. Well, in this season maybe Xavi chance to win the championship trophy is quite impossible to achieve but I see Barcelona are really chasing the La Liga trophy this season.

Xavi will definitely be demanded to win a trophy this season, the market Barcelona has bought quite a lot of players but it is not strong enough for the Champions League and still survives in LaLiga as Real Madrid's competition is not far off points, Laporta as long as the president of Barcelona wants the best for his team while Xavi is still working hard with the project he is running even though it's still half a season running but at least the Europa League, LaLiga, can still be fought for but we'll see how capable Xavi can do this?
Although there is no sign for Xavi to win a trophy but look at Real Madrid who are getting stronger at the moment.

I believe that the coach of Barcelona, Xavi, is already being demanded to win the La Liga title this season. One reason being they got knocked out of the Champions League very early. And people obviously thought that this was the main purpose which is to concentrate on La Liga.

But they lost quite badly against Real Madrid. Obviously, people are quite upset about that. People obviously think that he did not do much for Barcelona except for bringing in some very expensive players. Even though they brought those players they did not improve as a team in my opinion. At least not any revolutionary change in tactics

[logfiles]

A golden team led by Iniesta and Xavi could dominate the game with other game formations. Xavi as coach tries to repeat the past but it's impossible to do.

This was the problem with Barcelona from the very beginning Xavi was hired. Trying to recreate the old era Barcelona under Pep which is absolutely close to impossible. He should just have his own DNA or philosophy rather than trying living in the past

Meanwhile, Real Madrid unexpectedly lost points and brought some intrigue to the championship. Let's see how long it will continue.

Horrible match it was. It's usually low table teams that people underlook that manage to pull out some points out of Real Madrid that why I am usually anxious of them rather than the big opponents

Also, in the match, it was Kroos' first Red card as a professional player.

[Alisha-k]

Did not perform well in Real Madrid vs Girona match Real Madrid drew in this match. Real Madrid were the most likely to win the match as all the spectators did not expect the match to be a draw. The players of the Girona team performed very well due to which they were able to draw with Real Madrid. Fortunately, Girona drew with Real Madrid otherwise it would never have been possible even with Real Madrid having so many good stars, this match was a draw. Barcelona team has performed very well as this match of Real Madrid was drawn. Currently, Barcelona is close to Real Madrid's points with Real Madrid's 32 points and Barcelona's 31 points.  But the match with Girona was the most important for Real Madrid to win.

At least an applaud should go to Girona for the strategy the used that was able to secure a draw which resulted in both Madrid and Girona sharing one point. Madrid mistake made them drew the match. The point mean a lot to Girona has the have climbed 2 place above relegation zone. I don't know how consistent Barcelona will be with their wins because this will be a good time to switch position

[S A KHAIR]

Barcelona still have a busy schedule, as they go down in the europa league. Maybe it's just a slightly lighter opponent, but they have almost the same match. Currently Madrid and Barcelona have quite good performances in the Spanish League. So there will still be many possibilities for it to happen. In addition, the league will still run quite a long way. Maybe there will be a small mistake from one of them. So that caused them to lose points.

Barcelona's performance is good, especially in Laliga so far. Barcelona only lost in El Clasico and drew once against Rayo Vallecano in mid-August, but other than that they won. The same goes for Real Madrid, but Madrid are much more impressive because they managed to avoid defeat and also qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.

There's a lot that can happen in the next 24 match in Laliga and it's still uncertain. Interestingly, Barcelona and Real Madrid this season are really competing to be the best in terms of points in the last 12 match, of course they can lose points but this season is very different.

Barcelona is performing better and they have certainly started better compared to what they did in the last season. But as a team, I don't know if they have actually improved or not. I actually don't think there was much improvement. Xavi just came in with a positive mindset and boosted the morale of the players. Other than that bringing in some expensive players not much has changed. I believe that Barcelona is not in its prime anymore and it will take a long time to get back to those prime days of Barcelona. I have no idea how they will ever solve the money problem.

[Jossque]

Real Madrid lost a point that I never expected. Real Madrid drew with Girona at home, reducing the points difference with Barcelona to 1. Toni kroos received a red card for the first time in his football career. It must have been sad for him too.
Bilbao beat Villareal with a single goal in a tough match and got 3 points.

Have busy schedule match although Barcelona drop to Europe League but little different caste with Champion League competition, regardless with bad result beating by Madrid at first leg match I don't Barcelona is loss chance with La Liga tittle because both team have the same points on table position now with Madrid have match left face Girona today. Many possibility happen with Barcelona chance to get La Liga trophy or Real Madrid will get again in a row after success last season depending league still run long way.

Karim Benzema absent at starting eleven Real Madrid vs Girona and seems he still get injury, little disappointed because ha can't catch top scorer standing right now lead by Lewandowski have scored 13 goals.

Lewandowski is a great scorer, Benzema is great at scoring as well but he is not just a pure scorer, he is also someone who can assist, playing with greats before him, he learned how to pass as a striker as well which gave him a good advantage to be in the team. I personally believe that right now Benzema is better than Lewandowski as a player, but as a scorer Lewandowski is the better one.

I never gave Benzema a chance to win the scoring title, with or without injuries, it would only be possible if Lewa had a serious injury instead and missed many games, since the reverse happened it is almost guaranteed that Lewa will end up with the scoring title.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It was a really unexpected point loss by Real Madrid. Considering Girona's having a bad season I just expected Real Madrid to get a comfortable win in this game. But there was just a 1-1 draw at the end.

Girona found many deadly chances to score in this game. Real Madrid defense had big weaknesses and this could have even caused them to lose in Santiago Bernabeu. Actually while the score was 1-0 Real Madrid had a big chance to make it 2-0 and relieve. Asensio's shot was saved by the goalkeeper in a great way. Asensio caused a penalty only a few minutes later also and Girona scored the penalty. He was the worst performing player of the team as a result. Rodrygo scored the 2nd goal of his team first but it was disallowed due to kicking a ball which was under control of the goalkeeper.

Real Madrid are still in the lead but this point loss is good news for Barcelona for certain.

I agree. He's got a pretty big figure right now, which shows that 44.9% of Barcelona's goals this season have been scored by him. Only Haaland's figure is better - 45%. At the moment, these two are leading the league top 5 and are unlikely to give up the lead to anyone else. They are likely to compete with each other throughout the season

Real Madrid lost a point that I never expected. Real Madrid drew with Girona at home, reducing the points difference with Barcelona to 1. Toni kroos received a red card for the first time in his football career. It must have been sad for him too.
Bilbao beat Villareal with a single goal in a tough match and got 3 points.

It was a final score that I didn't expect, actually they played well although Karim Benzema's absence affected their attack. Girona performed well so they could withstand every attack launched by Real Madrid. The last 20 to 10 minutes of the game I was looking forward to for Real Madrid showed his habit of scoring goals in those vulnerable minutes didn't happen either. In the end they should really get just 1 point in this match. Even though it wasn't a defeat, it was still a result they shouldn't have accepted against a club like Girona.

I would say the main reason Madrid lost points in this match was Benzema's absence in the match. If Benzema was not injured and performed in this match, Real Madrid would have been able to gain 3 points. Real Madrid kept their match strategy unchanged in this match. And many attacks were made by Real Madrid's attacking players. But Real Madrid scored only one goal due to lack of competent finishers. I think many gamblers lost their money in this match. Because everyone expected Real Madrid to win this match.

[AakZaki]

~snip~

There were many opportunities, but the valencia goalkeeper performed well. In addition, the final completion of the Barcelona players has not been good. It was fortunate that Lewandowski was able to make a goal in the final minute. Of course, this victory is profitable, because they naturally hope that Real Madrid will get a bad result.
Such fierce competition as it is today making mistakes will be very detrimental. Therefore every team is obliged to win in all matches.

[Davidvictorson]

Girona forced us to draw, but without the penalty then I don't think they will really get the points in this match.
During the game, Real Madrid had a lot of chances to score, but some saves from the Girona goalkeeper left us really frustrated. But it doesn't matter, Madrid still leads the standings with a 1 point advantage over Barcelona and now there is no time to relax if you want to always lead.

The standings are very competitive, but some changes will occur when Sociedad and Real Betis finish their matches today.

I have to admit that based on what I saw, I would have allowed Rodrygo's goal to count. According to my analysis, the goalkeeper had his hand on the ball but pulled it in his direction, meaning that just his fingers and not his hand were on it. As a result, Rodrygo didn't fire the ball "out of his hand." We don't even need to discuss the penalty, but La Liga officials are often biased.
