La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

but this is not their best performance compared to against other teams but whatever the results of this match Madrid finally has return to positive condition

Of course, they are not like the Real Madrid that we all know, moreover the match was held at the Santiago Barnabeu. In their last home game before facing Cadiz, they could even win 5-1 over Celtic. That's why many people expect that Real Madrid will win by a big score at home.

It is fine though, they got a win, and that’s the only thing that matters. Real cannot be a dominating team every single game they play, sometimes you just gotta be happy about a win and that’s enough, if you keep forcing yourself to keep winning then you are going to hurt yourself even more.

I personally care about the losses more than the wins, no matter how you win it’s a win, but if you lose and then do not look bad but just unlucky that is a good thing too. No team in the world could go undefeated forever, eventually every team loses, usually quite commonly but sometimes there could be some undefeated streak, even that ends, just make sure you are good meanwhile.

[hahay]

Cadiz can not be a problem to a big club as Real Madrid and in this game am sure real Madrid will record multiple goal scores even though the Cadiz team seems to be pressing for the front line for a possible goal score it is still clear for all to see Real Madrid, dominance in thos match.

I never ever thought cadiz will give real madrid a tough game.  Winning has really been a serious problem to cadiz , so playing a match with Real Madrid I didn't expect the game to be hard for Real Madrid,  cadiz was tough early hour of the game but Real Madrid still ends the match with an impressive result.  It was a great performance from Real Madrid.

It's football you should be expectant of anything win,loss and also drawing a game you feel your favorite club can win hurts more than anything. Had so much high hopes with Man United and they failed me severally, that alone taught me not to be expectant of win at all times.
But it's good they ( Real Madrid ) closed the gap from five points after losing to Rayo Vallecano to two points by winning Cadiz last night.
Saw the highlights, good goal from Toni Kroos, he helped Real Madrid close Barcelona down by achieving three complete points.

Cadiz are tough side's,, you should them defending with Six man in defense when they play against Barcelona. I always laugh out loud because Barcelona find those games difficult to win at the sound of the final whistle.

The interesting thing is, although Cadiz is difficult to get more balls but Cadiz's total shots on goal are the same as Real Madrid. Even though Cadiz could only do it in the second half but with these efforts, Cadiz finally managed to reduce the loss and that shouldn't have happened for Real Madrid.

Because after all Cadiz are a weak team, which Real Madrid should have won with a bigger score. But yes indeed, the results on paper do not always go well but as such, then if we compare the goals conceded by Barcelona and Real Madrid so far Barcelona are the better team with fewer concedes.

Therefore, the moment against Cadiz should be a good moment for Real Madrid by increasing goal productivity. But maybe they also play more cautiously, considering the players will play in the World Cup which is of course a top priority for them not to push themselves too hard to play harder throughout yesterday's match.

The last games before the World Cup have been played. Barcelona must be happy to give the break as the leader in the standings. We won't see any matches until December 31. In this time period there might be sigificant situation changes for the teams in the league such as injuries in the World Cup.

Especially Barcelona and Real Madrid will need to keep their players healthy during the World Cup. If we see important injuries for any side than the title race can be affected directly badly. Benzema's return was unknown so far this break will make them gain some time as well. His contribution is very important for the team.

Real Madrid needed 3 points by any means. And they nailed it. However, I did not like Real Madrid's performance in this match. But this was Real Madrid's last match before the World Cup. And Madrid's main player Benzema was absent in the match. Real Madrid players have performed very carefully to avoid injury ahead of the World Cup.
However, after seeing the performance of Real Madrid in the last few matches, it is very well understood that without Benzema, Madrid's attack is still not strong enough. Coach Ancelotti should now find a replacement for Benzema. If Madrid cannot find a suitable replacement for Benzema, their performance will be even weaker next season.

[giammangiato]

This season will undoubtedly be fun, but hardly in a positive way. The World Cup completely breaks the whole season and I think that after the resumption of the competition we will see a big decline in some clubs - maybe Napoli, maybe Barcelona. As a result, angry fans will argue with each other on the topic "if it were not for the World Cup, then we would definitely win."

It could also be an excuse for an athletic decline or for insufficient athletic training.
In any case, I can only agree with you, I also foresee the same thing as you. But what can we poor fans do? nothing
We can cheer and hope for the best!!

The chances of players getting injured in the World Cup are high. And at this point the responsibility of the players probably rests with their own country. Clubs play no role here. However, if a player suffers an injury, the clubs will suffer more than the country. However, if Barcelona or Madrid suffer injuries to key players, they will lose their dominance in the league. And since the points gap between the two teams is so small, any team that loses Truck will continue to slip away from the title.

Hopefully Perez will buy players in January and hopefully Ancelotti will have the desire to buy additional players. A busy schedule from January La Liga, CDR, UCL, Club World Cup awaits.
can't be denied, even Madrid still hang their engine on the old players (modric and kross).
Cadiz gave a fierce resistance, all lines seemed less focused when there was a counter-attack, but thankfully Madrid was able to get 3 important points to keep their distance from the leader of the standings.

Not only Real Madrid's attack require replacement, but so does their defensive midfield, because since the departure of Casamiro to Manchester United, Real Madrid has been suffering from a defensive midfield issue, and as we all know, Tony Kroos is old enough to be replaced as well, so the team cannot fully rely on their performance.
Thank God, Laliga matches are now on hold until after the World Cup, so it will be very beneficial if Real Madrid management uses this transfer window to find a replacement to fit in various positions that need to be strongly strengthened in the team, because if they do not, it will be very difficult for them to win Laliga this season.

It was a good start for Barcelona as they managed to top the table before half-time, something we have rarely seen since they dropped in terms of form. But their job isn't really that, but after the break in this competition how do they defend where they are now and I think all teams have to look at that.
The risk of injury to the players who strengthen their respective countries in the World Cup is one thing that many clubs fear, because there as we know it will present a very competitive match and they want to do the best for their country. I just hope that the players who will appear in the World Cup can return to the way they used to be, in the sense that they don't experience anything untoward as footballers.

Yes, that is the problem that Real Madrid is currently facing, namely they still depend on their old players. I understand that regenerating players will not be as easy as imagined, there will definitely be problems outside of technical and non-technical to play well without their current senior players. But if you look at the young players who are in the current squad I'm pretty sure they will be able to rotate from senior players who may not be leaving the club for a long time to young players who have good progressives. But it's a matter of time, they won't be released without a senior player guiding them on the field and providing an understanding of the strategy that is being carried out.

[rendravolt]

A big congratulations to Real Madrid for the beautiful victory they got from Cadiz that made many people to believed that they have something good to achieve in this season. Despite, the prepared Cadiz defenders prepare not to allow Real Madrid strikers have their way into their goalpost but Real Madrid strikers scored the first goal at 40 minutes in the first half that made their fans to have hope of winning the match with many goals. After the first half Real Madrid still embraced another goal at 70 minutes to defeated Cadiz 2-1, to prove to people that they still remain among the best team in this la Liga league competition.

I see the role of Toni Kross here is very important, maybe if the playmaker from Real Madrid wasn't him, it might be difficult in that match. But on the other hand Real Madrid must secure full points against Cadiz so as not to fall further behind Barcelona.

[jack05]

Real Madrid needed this win after losing points in simple games for them. They were quite effective in the first half and didn't give much chance to Cadiz. But in the second half Cadiz started to have more goal chances. Real Madrid were only 1-0 ahead actually therefore I wonder why Real Madrid started to be complacent this quick. However they still secured a 2-1 win at the end.

Kroos was impressive today with one goal and an assist. Maybe they are still behind Barcelona but the gap is very close like 2 points. This season will be a lot of fun as it seems.

You are right. After the World Cup, the status of various teams is likely to change. Which team will return to good form and which team will perform poorly. One of the reasons can be injury. But I hope all the clubs will play well after the World Cup.

[BITCOIN4X]

They must have saved Karim Benzema for French National Team so he won't be injured before the world Cup. Even with the availability of Vini Junior and Rodrygo the young Brazilian they need to get a new striker entirely because Benzema won't be very consistent.
Good way from Toni Kroos to seal the game for Real Madrid, end of these game's now next game begins next year against a smaller team after they return from world Cup

In fact Cadiz are not a very strong team to make Real Madrid lose in yesterday's match, and Real Madrid's victory in that match is something that is easy to predict. Based on what I saw, Real Madrid really dominated the match even though the strikers didn't score but the 2 goals from Militao and Kross were enough to make a good ending for Madrid.

Now that Barcelona & Real Madrid are 2 points apart in the standings, it won't be much to get them to compete. The number of goals for both teams is 33, but Barcelona has several other statistics ahead of Real Madrid.

You are right that Real Madrid's splendid performance is inseparable from the appearance of their midfielders who have excellent performances. Modric and Kroos are the lifeblood of Real Madrid's game now, yes they can always be the difference on the pitch when the team is deadlocked. We saw in the previous game when they lost Kroos in midfield due to being sidelined due to a red card received in the previous match, the result was a defeat that saw them move away from Barcelona. They have not found the ideal player to replace his position in midfield, the young players in the squad have not been able to perform optimally at least have a mission to play like Toni Kroos.

Barcelona best stats are their low received goals. Getting 5 goals after 14 rounds is quite interesting. Just to make it more interesting, 3 goals was scored by Real Madrid so Barcelona received goals in only 3 games from 14! The closest team is Villarreal receiving 10 goals then 12 for Betis then come the others with +14 goals.
Since the international break started, Real Madrid ended up in the second place but 2 goals difference is nothing. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are separated from the others by +9 goals. Comparing to the previous season, Bilbao advanced, ATM and Villarreal lost positions and Sevilla cannot be seen anywhere up there..

indeed in that match toni kross performed quite well where he managed to contribute 1 goal and 1 assist which made him man of the match in that match. Vinicius and Rodrygo had some good chances in that match but unfortunately these two stickers failed to complete the finishing perfectly. With this victory, Real Madrid were able to keep their distance from Barcelona because the difference in points was 2 points. This victory also ended a bad streak in the last two matches played by Real Madrid, Real Madrid must be really consistent in every match because Barcelona this season will be very focused on winning the Laliga title after they were eliminated from the Champions League.

La Liga matches may be closed for the World Cup. So that players from different clubs will play in different national teams. By doing this, we will see different reactions after the World Cup, as the performance of many players may change. Also clubs that were off form could perform well.

Yes, yesterday's three match closed the 14th week of La Liga. It looks like Laliga has give time lag for the players to focus on defend their respective countries, Laliga's new week will start next December or there is a one month break for the players who play in Laliga.
I also predict the same thing, the stamina of the players can decrease when they return to Laliga and that can affect the club's performance.

Due International break started awhile Barcelona lead standing position with 2 points left from Real Madrid after won last night from Cadiz, I don't think goals scored is important at La Liga have adopt with head to head, right now Barcelona and Real Madrid scored 33 goals and Barcelona have good defense with 5 goals conceded than Madrid have conceded 14 goals. First meeting Real Madrid won from Barcelona and I think if later both team have the same points and Real Madrid draw at second meet with Barcelona on Camp Nou, actually Madrid have chance get La Liga title because win head to head. No matter with how many goals scoring and conceded because La Liga used head to head after both team have the same points on standing position.

[CLS63]

Maybe things haven't gone well for Barcelona in the Champions League so far and they are in the Europa League from now on. But at least they don't reflect this bad performance on their La Liga matches. They are still a very consistent team in the league by not losing any points in easy matches for them. They are like the opposite of Real Madrid these days.

Because Real Madrid lost points in really unexpected matches and this led them to lose their lead to Barcelona. Real Madrid will have a long time to think about where they are doing wrong before the next matches. Because winning against Barcelona isn't enough for them by itself in the end. They need to show the same consistency in the other matches as well.

[ShowOff]

I heard rumors about Barcelona's plans to extend Alonso's contract. I never know if that's true, but I don't think it's going to be a really good decision. To be honest I noticed Alonso wasn't really good in his last 12 games for Barcelona, ​​but his experience may have convinced Xavi to stick with him for longer. If this issue is true, then I think Alonso really has to give his best for his current team. Alonso is useful in several positions especially at center back or left back, that's his forte but he's not very reliable with pace.

Now things are going well for Alonso because Xavi really believed in him during Araujo and several other defenders were injured. So he must maximize this opportunity well to keep a place in the Barcelona main squad. Other than that, Araujo's recovery condition will probably make Barcelona happy even though he recently underwent surgery.

[Raflesia]

Without Benzema Real Madrid can still get the win but these 2 goals were not scored by Real Madrid's front-line players, so it can be assumed that Real Madrid is still dependent on Benzema.

They have good young players like Vinicius or Rodrygo but they are not a striker like Benzema. They can grow and develop their skills to become strikers but it is not what they can play well in this season. Benzema is still very important with Real Madrid and they will have to hope that he won't get any injury by the World Cup.

Real Madrid's problems are still the same because they are still hampered by their attackers and targets.
Some of the young players you say like Rodrygo, Vini or maybe Valverde may have played really well and have improved their form this season, but they are the runner-up type who always messes up the opponent's defense and Benzema's figure there makes up for the lack of goal-scoring instincts for Madrid.
