La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[herurist]

The difference between Liverpool and Real Madrid this season is that Liverpool, is weak after selling Salah, but Real Madrid is still winning their games, apart from that, both clubs have made some mistakes in selling their front-line players.

Unfortunately, there are many factors in deciding to sell a player. Often it is the player who wants to leave at all costs. We don't know all the mechanics behind these choices.
Logically, I miss you and you don't want to sell players from a team that wins well. Unfortunately, the companies cannot decide how they want.

We do have some regrets in this regard but to say we have to stay glued to the players leaving of course is not a professional team. We must also be aware that apart from them having to maintain good performance, this is a business and of course the sale and purchase of players must be made into something that can be turned into profit.
Losing Mane at Liverpool was like losing Messi to Barcelona and Ronaldo to Madrid but should they continue to regret that? I think it's too naive to keep regretting just one player.

There are at least 2 goals that do not count in this match.
Indeed, in this case we also cannot rule out Valencia's performance in defense because it is still very good.
Luckily in this case now Madrid failed to close the gap far enough as they were stuck with a draw against Girona and this is still something very good for Barcelona.

It's still not lucky enough for Barcelona because Barcelona themselves are sometimes not always at their best this season, while Real Madrid still has a chance to add to their victory in the next match. Because at this time Real Madrid has only drawn twice, while the loss has not happened at all and this makes Real Madrid will continue to be seeded in La Liga this season.

Barcelona is not lucky enough.  Even if real madrid were not able to get a full point in their match, it is common that they can still win their up coming match. Barcelona are unpredictable , no knows if they can be consistent in their performance.

Real Madrid disappointed their fans by drawing 1-1 in the Girona match. Real Madrid dominated the match. But they couldn't score and they lost points. I think they felt the absence of Benzema very much in this match. For this reason, they need to create an alternative to Benzema. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for them to score goals in matches without Benzema.

In addition, the referee received a lot of criticism in this match. Real Madrid fans on social media were not happy with the decision of the referee of the match. I think the penalty was controversial. Real Madrid fans are not wrong in this discussion.

I don't know what happened to Real Madrid, Real Madrid players seemed to have lost their will to win, facing a team like Girona only able to play a draw. The supporters were obviously very disappointed with this result, Real Madrid who dominated the match had a hard time scoring goals.
I don't think Real Madrid are starting to become dependent on Benzema, in some other games Real Madrid were able to win games even without Benzema. This draw made Real Madrid winning trend stop in the hands of Girona, now Real Madrid is only one point ahead of Barcelona who is in second place.

it can also be fatigue or athletic decline
playing at the highest levels in both the league and cup will drain you of energy
you have to see if they can recover quickly, I hope so ... or we risk sending the season down the drain

In my opinion, football fans can never be satisfied ; I don't expect Real Madrid to be all firing this season. I believe they are going to be a dominant force for both domestical and european competition but I expect them to still drop some points too. Looking at last season, the club was carried by Karim Benzema, I expected them to fortify them with a top striker but apparently, Mbappe failed them. If Benzema isn't playing, they seemingly struggle in some difficult games but I believe they will be alright at the end of the season.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have already pulled away from the rest of the teams quite much. Atletico Madrid are the closest team to this duo but even they are 8 points behind Barcelona now.

This isn't a surprising incident of course. It was already obvious from the beginning that Barcelona and Real Madrid would be the most serious title contenders in this season. Atletico Madrid would just fight for keeping the third position in the standings at the end of the season. This time they don't have Sevilla as their biggest rival for the position. That's because of Sevilla's horrible start to the season. Despite changing their manager they are still losing many points and they are nearly in the relegation area.

I don't think any team La Liga can catch up with Real Madrid though. Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona are struggling to even grind points. These teams seems not to be up to par at moment to match Real Madrid. However, Real Madrid will slip in couple of games too; making rival fans to hope they can catch up or overtake them but I'm pretty sure this la Liga title has Real Madrid name on it already.

I don't agree with you. Real Madrid is definitely the most consistent team in La Liga. But their performance still suffers if they are not with a Benzema squad that is heavily dependent on Benzema. In the last match, we also saw Real Madrid share points with weaker teams like Girona. Real Madrid may lose points in a few more matches if Benzema is injured. So it cannot be said for sure that the title will be won by Real Madrid. However, if Benzema does not face any major injury, then Real Madrid has the best chance of winning the title. The performance of the Barcelona team is still erratic.

Barcelona cannot be said to be a strong team after what happened to them in the Champions League this season and also they have problems with the depth of their squad which still has to find it difficult when their mainstay players are not available. Real Madrid are certainly better than Barcelona, but that doesn't mean they don't have problems with the team. One of the obvious problems now is that their forward line lacks players to replace Benzema when he is out of action. And that's what we see in this week's match which caused them to lose 3 points after being held to a draw by Girona. Carlo Ancelotti must look for players who can fill the void in Benzema's position in the upcoming transfer market to be able to keep the depth of their squad even stronger.

Moreno assist two late goals for winning this crucial top teams match while first goal scored on 86th minute and second goal scored on 94th minute which helps Betis to overtake loser Real Sociedad in Spanish League table now after two back to back defeats they are at fifth and Betis back in their spot of fourth where they are sharing points with Atlético Madrid which is also third with 23 points, but better goal average is helping them for having this current spot.

Betis which is not going to host Sevilla which is surely struggling from the start of this season and nothing positive happening for them because if they are not going to improve quality then surely we are going to watch them in second league because current form is not helping them.

It was a good performance by Real Sociedad in this match. In my opinion, they are the ones who actually deserved to win the match. It would have been easy for them to win if it had not been for Rui Silva, the goalkeeper of Real Betis, who made some very crucial saves.

Moreover, I believe that Real Sociedad in this particular game had some bad luck on their side as well. Aside from that, they also hit the bar once during the game. In addition to that, both of the goals from Real Betis came from counterattacks. The result of this match really did not satisfy me and I am not satisfied with how it turned out. My opinion is that it should have been the other way around in this case.

Getafe team will face the last seat team elche in an away game elche are still without a win in laliga this season and even getafe are on a bad shape they didn't win in five games and they are on the relegation zone they need points today to get out of the zone and i think they will atleast get a draw considering their opponent poor performance so far.

I agree we can't call Barcelona a strong team and i believe their current spot in la Liga is 70% because of the weakness of la Liga clubs expect real Madrid, Barcelona can't manage to win against all strong clubs They faced so far

Mbappe would fit good in Benzema position imo but that isn't obvious to see soon. Benzema injury made the team less effective although they have many good forwarders like Vini and Rodrygo. Otherwise, Valverde is doing good and helped the team.
For Barcelona, they have many good players but the team is sometimes dysfunctional unfortunately. It is up to Xavi to fix that.

Both clubs are in bad shape, only Getafe can get 2 wins. But if you have to compare, it is true that Getafe is better than Elche who has never tasted victory. This will be a home game for Elche and their only advantage in this match. I don't see anything special about these two clubs, either in terms of their overall play or in terms of their defense or attack. I would rather say that this match ended by sharing the same points with you. Yes, I think it's a fair result for both clubs who are in poor form.

Not qualifying does not mean they are not strong in my opinion because there are some conditions where they are not really in the lead in the Champions League.
On the other hand they are still a threat to Madrid at the moment regardless of what they did in the Champions League this doesn't change the fact that they are still a pretty real contender for Madrid in La Liga.

Barcelona team still need more confidence especially after what happened to them in the champions league, xavi need to find the cure for such situation otherwise he don't deserve the post of Barcelona coach, he need also to fix the problem concerning old and new players asap

That is not correct Mbappe will be a good fit for a winger and that's what he has been doing at Paris and also for France. The absence of Benzema will cause a disturbance for them, yes they don't build around a certain player no more but if you observe, the present Madrid without Benzema is almost week and lack's intensity, he comes into space to open the defense up, that will be missing in games to come. Hoping he gets fit and set immediately after the world cup gets to climax.

Who the fuck is selling salah? did you se that salah leave from liverpool? I didn't even see that happened. Did you mean mane? it would be the correct answer. Salah has not gone to the somewhere. It seems like that you're mentioning the wrong player. Salah is still playing with liverpool and he was even playing as starting line up in liverpool. I guess that if you shall try to spend some minutes to watch some football news site to know more about that. Liverpool never sell salah to the another club.

I think he meant mane. And I do agree that Mane being gone did hurt them a lot, look at their results and how terrible they have done this year. The greatest thing about Real Madrid is that they have sold Ronaldo, maybe one of the greatest players we have ever seen, if not the greatest (him and Messi is my top 2 tbf) and they still won a lot after him. They won the league, they won UCL last year, I mean it’s like they didn't lose much.

Look at Barcelona after Messi, they literally sucked for a whole year, and they still suck after spending so much money. This is why Real is definitely unlike any other team, they do not rely on just a single player, no matter who that player is.

I agree, after cristiano and ramos leaving benzema still the only player who have very big effect on all the squad, his presence is very important for all the team even if he don't score he can make the opponent defence in real troubles every match

Real Madrid is a team that can really have problems on the forward line.  Benzema left behind a very good season.  Okay, he's a really great player, but sometimes great players can have a bad day.  He needs a quality player to be recruited as an alternative player.  I don't know if they will take action on this at halftime.  Barcelona is doing well in the league, I think they will enter the championship race head-to-head.

I think you're underestimating the Vinicius Junior factor. He is the team's most contributing player. He had a very good season last year, this year he is getting much better. It will take a little more time to mount the Camavinga next to Kroos and Modric in midfield. Real Madrid is developing its young stars. Normally they spend a lot of money and grab the best, but in recent years they have been spending money and getting potential young players. They are in an ambitious position both this season and for the future. Benzema also needs to be back as soon as possible.

Vinicius Jr has been one of the biggest guns for Real Madrid this year.  His match with Benzema was great last year.  He is one of the best players this year.  I always support the transfer of promising players, but Real Madrid also needs an experienced striker.  A quality rotation player to play alongside Benzema.  Benzema needs to be a player who will support the team in his troubled processes.  I think we can expect that from Real Madrid

[ShowOff]

Mbappe would fit good in Benzema position imo but that isn't obvious to see soon. Benzema injury made the team less effective although they have many good forwarders like Vini and Rodrygo. Otherwise, Valverde is doing good and helped the team.

Real Madrid are even very interested in signing Mbappe from PSG in recent seasons and the peak at the end of last season Real Madrid had to surrender and be disappointed because Mbappe chose to stay longer at PSG by extending his contract. Mbappe is good for Real Madrid, of course because of his quality. But after all Madrid have to look deep if they want to realize the contract.

For Barcelona, they have many good players but the team is sometimes dysfunctional unfortunately. It is up to Xavi to fix that.

Barcelona are the challengers, with Xavi they are better but of course not perfect. The 1 point distance from Real Madrid at the moment is the result of a good performance, but it is very difficult for me to hear the many confessions from those who don't like this team.
