La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Sebas.tian]

If you carefully examine the Barcelona team, you will understand that the team is not as bad as people portray them, the major problem with Barcelona team under Xavi is that they fail to win big matches when it is needed and also they have been very unlucky in the Champions League matches. Apart from these two problems which are fixable I think Barcelona team is doing well.
Some people in Barcelona does not want the phrase "doing well" they want to return to be the best they used to be.

Yes, Barcelona is doing well in this season, and they are in good position to start breaking record by start winning big  matches to make their fans believe that this season will end up for their favour. I think, Barcelona coach will definitely introduce more tactics into the team that will make the players more active in all their position in this holiday period so that there will be more improvement after the holiday. I believe, Barcelona coach will definitely solve the two problems affecting the team in this season, so that there will be massive victory in their remaining matches.

They will surely return back to the big side they use to be
They should have at least won the first leg with Bayern Munich that would have given them some bitof hope.
They are on top knowing well That it's for a short time,they will have to be consistent to remain on top still for them to win the league

Which team do you mean should be able to win the first leg with Bayern Munich
If what you mean is Barcelona, then you need to wash your face so you can look back at the match schedule and which team Barcelona must beat after the world cup later. Because you also need to know that Barcelona this season must be willing to go down to the Europa League after their failure in the Champions League, so Barcelona will not meet Bayern Munich again this season.

  Judging on that game, was Barcelona not the better team that night, it was that bayern munich took good use of those chances they had. Bayern Munich had two or three counter attack and converted it. If you have some time take a good look Barcelona was the better side. It's unfortunate they got knocked. Can they just win La Liga

[bering]

Real Madrid surely doesn't want to give up to win the title. They must struggle until the end of the season. Moreover, with the current situation that they are only 2 points left from Barcelona, the chance to win La Liga is still very open (very possible). It is strange if Real Madrid gives up now, this is something impossible to happen. I am sure Real Madrid players will be more motivated to win every match, they know Barcelona is still possible to miss points because there are many matches left. What they need to do is to win every match and get 3 points, and they must defeat Barcelona in the next El Classico (on matchday 26, March 2023).

Still left many matches for talking candidate the winner La Liga in this season with current 2 point left between Barcelona and Real Madrid, despite Madrid have chance at the next El Clasico (on matchday 26, March 2023) I don't think with Barcelona and Real Madrid are consistency in the winning games, have surprise team make Madrid and Barcelona loss points at unpredictable matches.
Little bored with La Liga dominance right now between current third standing position have many points gap with Barcelona and Real Madrid, its look little compete with other team from Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad until Athletic Bilbao loss many points.

I was often to see el classico matches results and it does not determine Laliga champion status so the results of this match probably won't have any effect for the position from Barcelona or Real Madrid and the teams who possibly will makes them slipped usually comes from underdog teams and it proven from Real Madrid previous matches that they cannot able to wins from Osasuna and Girona so whether Barcelona or Real Madrid should be aware to the weaker teams because usually they will playing with full of motivation against big teams and with difference points is too far from 3rd rank team Sociedad it's almost be certain the team who possibly will win Laliga this season between Real Madrid or Barcelona

Completely agreed with this La Liga is bored now with the dominance of two teams as there were expectations from other teams but mostly are unpredictable and going down badly with Atlético Madrid is also in not good shape with Athletic Bilbao and Betis are also struggling badly Villarreal is already down which mean nothing positive going to happen at the top just Real Madrid and Barcelona are going to fight for the title race with before break Barcelona is leading by two points which are not enough as 23 rounds left in this season and any result can happen which bring good changes.

But here we have another point now Real Madrid has to bring another quality striker as Karim Benzema is out with injury most chances it's going to take long time which is surely not good for them as they are already struggling and having touch competitions in coming weeks.

[hashrateproducts]

Barcelona are now in 1st place in the standings, they are consistent but they are not too strong and it has been proven that they cannot win in big matches like against Real Madrid and were also eliminated in the UCL.
In terms of quality, this team is starting to rise slowly, they can even be consistent and also very productive.
Xavi has just overhauled his squad this season by bringing in many new players and all of that needs a process, as long as it continues to be in a positive trend I believe that the process that Xavi has put in will be able to make Barceloa better again.

First spot belongs to the catalans and they're not giving up no matter what happens. The players and the coach have strong bonds on the pitch they always humilates average teams both in Laliga and the champions league. But their major problem, they don't stand a chance against big teams, like real madrid both in Laliga and the champions league. They're victims whenever they face teams outside their league, just like PSG loses to small teams in UEFEA.   Barça have some vital purpose and area in football, they're good interms of dominance and very good especially when they're at the camp Nou.

They should have at least won the first leg with Bayern Munich that would have given them some bitof hope.
They are on top knowing well That it's for a short time,they will have to be consistent to remain on top still for them to win the league

The direction has been increasingly visible since the start of the season, Barcelona performed better in the League and managed to reach first place in the table. Failure in the Champions League was a valuable lesson for Xavi because the Barcelona squad under his tutelage was still far from perfect. Barcelona needs time to repeat its glory, at least Barcelona must put faith in Xavi for the next two seasons.
The success of reaching the top of the standings gives a little hope after going through difficult times, success cannot be achieved by Barcelona without the support of a mature squad.

I was often to see el classico matches results and it does not determine Laliga champion status so the results of this match probably won't have any effect for the position from Barcelona or Real Madrid and the teams who possibly will makes them slipped usually comes from underdog teams and it proven from Real Madrid previous matches that they cannot able to wins from Osasuna and Girona so whether Barcelona or Real Madrid should be aware to the weaker teams because usually they will playing with full of motivation against big teams and with difference points is too far from 3rd rank team Sociedad it's almost be certain the team who possibly will win Laliga this season between Real Madrid or Barcelona

Positive results in El Clasico do not guarantee a trophy, sometimes the team that dominates El Clasico cannot be consistent when dealing with other teams. El Clasico is only limited to additional entertainment from La Liga, high tension is always presented in it. The prestige of Barcelona and Real Madrid is also at stake due to the long rivalry between the two teams.
Real Madrid, which got positive results in El Clasico, is now in second place behind Barcelona. Even though Real Madrid was able to dominate the second volume of El Clasico at Camp Nou, it is not certain that they will be able to win the title this season.

Xavi will need to try more options and know the best tactics for him. He will need time for this experiment just as Potter is experimenting with Chelsea. But after a few match he will discover the best method to beat big clubs. He is not doing bad and we cannot say that he is doing well because champions league is the best test of performance for big clubs.

[Silence Scream]

If Barcelona still doesn't make a bigger point gap with Real Madrid, then the top position currently occupied by Barcelona is still not safe because Barcelona still needs to beat Real Madrid this season if they want to get the La Liga title. Real Madrid is a team that is still very dangerous for all teams in La Liga including Barcelona, ​​because if there are only two points between the two, it will be easier for Real Madrid to take the top spot again from Barcelona.

This means that Barcelona must always win and Real Madrid at least should lose once. This may be difficult to expect this result, but nothing is impossible. Sometimes, real Madrid performs quite surprisingly when fighting with certain clubs, sometimes they give surprising result such as draws. Well,hopefully this will not happen. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid should not be drawn or lost to make thier position keeps safe and will not be takne over again. I personally really like Real Madird. But, I can't deny that Barcelona will always be a difficult opponent, moorever they aplay much better after failed in the UCL.

We have to admit it was an unlucky UCL adventure for Barcelona.  We must not forget that they are ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga.  Real Madrid are surprisingly losing some points, but Barcelona seems to have held on better.  Even though I like Real Madrid's squad quality more, I want Barcelona to win.  I've been a fan of them since the time of Ronaldinho.

the problem with many people is that they think that barcelona should play like they did in the past, but people forget that things change coaches and players are not the same as in the past, so you can't expect a team to play the same way as in the past past. what has been done so far by xavi is something fantastic, barcelona is recovering little by little, they need much more time to become a team capable of competing in the european champions league, they need to improve in defense and even in attack they there are some players who are still immature, at certain times they are selfish. these are things that xavi will need to deal with in the long run

Xavi will need to try more options and know the best tactics for him. He will need time for this experiment just as Potter is experimenting with Chelsea. But after a few match he will discover the best method to beat big clubs. He is not doing bad and we cannot say that he is doing well because champions league is the best test of performance for big clubs.

chelsea is a team that is not improving at all, they change coaches but nothing changes in my opinion, I even stopped betting on them, barcelona has potential since xavi took over the team, but sometimes they have problems in defense and attack serious mistakes, many times they even start to win but then end up in a draw, this even annoys me because it happens every time I bet on barcelona, that's why I stopped betting on barcelona, at least until I see that barcelona is stable in defense

Even though Real Madrid was able to dominate the second volume of El Clasico at Camp Nou, it is not certain that they will be able to win the title this season.

as a real madrid fan i am very worried about the injury to benzema, real madrid is very dependent on benzema and that means that when we play without benzema we lose a lot of points, i imagine that the club management must also be worried and they should looking for a player capable of replacing benzema, I still don't know who would be good enough to replace benzema, the way we are we won't have a chance to be champions again, our attack is very weak without benzema

[KTChampions]

Any qualified coach, now there are such on the market (they always are). But it's more important to change the strategy (although it's too late to do it) - if Barcelona hadn't gone all-in, but suffered a couple of years with a less stellar squad, nothing terrible would have happened. Most likely they would have finished second in La Liga in the same way and from time to time reached the playoffs of the Champions League. In doing so, they could sort out their debts and start a "normal" life.

The qualified coach is not the most important topic. When you want to change Atletico Madrid, you need to change a whole era. It was defensive soccer. We all saw these games when Atletico was working at taking down the clock. Yet they were an amazing team, there is no doubt. Even tough it wasn't fun at times to watch them, they still were a huge hurdle to any big club to actually beat them.

Times have changed and this strategy has ceased to bear fruit. Or did Atlético just become bad at it? They have conceded a lot of goals in the last two seasons and their defense is far from perfect. Either way, they need to change. Almost any modern team knows how to play the bus when necessary, but being like Atlético the bus all the time and hoping that someday it will bring results again is irrelevant.

If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League, they need to strengthen their squad. Because almost all the teams in the Champions League are very strong, the players of the teams are very fast. Barcelona need to add some more good players to their squad if they want to do well next season.

But after a few match he will discover the best method to beat big clubs. He is not doing bad and we cannot say that he is doing well because champions league is the best test of performance for big clubs.

Supposedly, Xavi has found the formula and knows the best tactics for his squad. however, Xavi tends to be overly confident with the same tactics and strategies. he repeated the same mistake, especially during the matches vs Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.  his tactics and strategy, did not go according to what he had planned before. he didn't do much, either rotating players or having other formation options.

In the end, Xavi has to admit that what he is building now cannot be said to have been at the actual level.
as you said, Xavi needs to try more options, strategies, tactics, formations, and continue to explore the potential of his players to reach the true level. so that they can be aligned with other big clubs, especially Real Madrid who are their big rivals.

You're right, and I think Barcelona thought about it.  The scout team should already be watching the players for next summer.  Barcelona has always been one of the dazzling clubs in the history of football.  That's why they are one of the few teams that world stars want to play.  If they can use this to their advantage, they can make good transfers.  They're not really a bad team this year.  They just need time to become a little more compliant.  I think they will overcome this problem as they play together.

Either way, they need to change. Almost any modern team knows how to play the bus when necessary, but being like Atlético the bus all the time and hoping that someday it will bring results again is irrelevant.

Since the last season, they have had problems in both defense and attacking. For Atletico Madrid under Simeone, it is strange to see they have weak defensive ability. It is not usually happen in the club after they started to get success with Diego Simeone many seasons ago. They did not have that problem even after a departure of Diego Godin who was a heart of their defense. I believe their defensive problems come from their system, from defenders to midfielders. It is not because any single player.

In attacking, they had problems too as Griezman has never reclaimed his best performance like years ago. A transfer to Barcelona and a few failed seasons there take a lot from Griezman. Joao Felix is another disappointed case but other attacking players are responsible for their general bad attacking in this season too.

Griezmann is undoubtedly a good player. However, he could not show his talent in Barcelona. Because he was not given a chance in every game. But Griezmann has done a great job at Atletico de Madrid, where he is getting the full opportunity.

[Z-tight]

Griezmann is undoubtedly a good player. However, he could not show his talent in Barcelona. Because he was not given a chance in every game. But Griezmann has done a great job at Atletico de Madrid, where he is getting the full opportunity.

Griezmann is a good player, but he has not done any great job since he came back to Athletico Madrid in 2021, it is not all of his fault because the team have not been good for many months now. When he was in the club before and things were going well for them he did a great job then, and was one of the best players in Europe, that was why Barcelona spent a lot of cash to buy him, but his career has gone down since then.

Athletico madrid as a club have a problem to solve, and i don't think the problem is with Griezmann or any of their players, but with the coach and how he makes his players play, the club have been playing this defensive style for a very long time that the other teams now find it predictable, i feel if Athletico madrid are to move forward as a club Diego Simeone has to leave for another coach to come and try something new with the club.

It will be a long battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid this season, we still have El Clasico and maybe it will be the next decider for them. Real Madrid made an unnecessary mistake when it came to dropping points from a team they weren't really on their level. But that's how football goes, nothing is certain even though the difference in quality between the two teams is huge. But Barcelona also doesn't mean as smooth as one might imagine because they also have several shortcomings, it's not impossible that they will still drop points.

[LittleBitFunny]

The coach is slightly responsible for Atletico Madrid's poor performance. But we cannot blame the coach entirely for their poor performance. Is Atletico Madrid's squad strong enough? I don't think so. Atletico Madrid's squad is relatively weak, and Atletico Madrid management is not interested in spending a lot of money to sign players. And so we can't blame only the Madrid coach for the poor performance of Atletico Madrid. And so I don't think Atletico Madrid will fire their coach.

Atletico Madrid this season not only has a bad coach but also a bad squad and bad management too. For some reason, this season Atletico Madrid is really bad in all positions. They have not only failed in round 16 of the Champions League but also seem to have failed in La Liga. This is bad, in fact, they often fail against small clubs. What a bad surprise. Atletico Madrid really needs a new coach capable of making significant changes, and maybe they should buy some good sharp players in the next transfer market.

Atletico Madrid's squad is weak. But they have a lot of talented players in their squad. Griezmann, Morata, Correa and De Paul are all talented enough. But none of the attacking players are in good form, and they are not playing well consistently. This is why their squad is weak. Atletico Madrid's main failing is that they can't find the players they need. They don't know exactly what their weaknesses are. And because of not knowing the weaknesses, they cannot find the right players for their squad. This is why their performance has been so poor this season.

[rendravolt]

Griezmann is a good player, but he has not done any great job since he came back to Athletico Madrid in 2021, it is not all of his fault because the team have not been good for many months now. When he was in the club before and things were going well for them he did a great job then, and was one of the best players in Europe, that was why Barcelona spent a lot of cash to buy him, but his career has gone down since then.

Maybe what I feel is that Griezmann is not suitable to play with Joao Felix in attack, because both of them have almost the same position. Here Griezmann's role is quite important for the club, where he has scored 5 goals and has 4 assists. Looking at the statistics for the last 5 matches in La Liga, the results are still unsatisfactory with 2 defeats, 2 draws and only 1 win. It's true that Diego Simeone should be replaced with a new coach, we've seen him with Atletico Madrid for more than 10 years, but the results are far from good.

[Masplanc]

Xavi will need to try more options and know the best tactics for him. He will need time for this experiment just as Potter is experimenting with Chelsea. But after a few match he will discover the best method to beat big clubs. He is not doing bad and we cannot say that he is doing well because champions league is the best test of performance for big clubs.

That the best thing should have done. He needs to try other strategies to see if it can make the players in the team to be stronger more than the way they are. Barcelona are not in their best performance.
